Any games you guys recommend in the E3 sale that are worth picking up at their sale price?

Blossom Tales or Golf Story. It's not an amazing sale tbh.
Darkest Dungeon, Axiom Verge & Rocket League are good but your not saving a lot buying them now.

jester77 · 14-06-2018 07:24PM

Very disappointing sale, nothing in there for me and nothing from my wishlist on sale.

CiDeRmAn · 14-06-2018 07:32PM

I just had to cheer myself up and I bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2 again.
Feck it.
Need to be reminded that the system is not just a indie platform.

Gyan84 · 14-06-2018 08:09PM

I've always wanted to pick up xenoblade. Would I be missing anything since I haven't played the first one and X ?

Mario Tennis will probably be next purchase although the treehouse stream showed off a boat map with a giant mast in the middle that looks incredibly annoying.

I know X is a completely different story, not sure if you'd get extra for playing the first.

Re Xenoblade Chronicles, a bit like Dragon Quest they have nothing really narratively in common but the battle systems have a strong common set of techniques that develop as the series develops.
I'm pretty terrible at them all tbh but I'm seeking something with some depth and AAA status, to forget that the Switch is otherwise home to lots of great little games but few new ones that have the impact of Mario Odyssey or BotW.

Let me know how you get on with Xenoblade. Xenoblades systems sound daunting tho which is what's putting me off. I prefer a lighter style of RPG.

For me Octopath Traveller and Dark Souls remaster are what I'm currently waiting for the most.

I do agree tho. There is some amount of muck in the Nintendo store.

Addicted to fortnite hope i can stop playing enough not to pee myself like the people on niall prendevill say will happen

Panic Button bringing a 'major port' to Switch, to be announced next month.

https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/doom-wolfenstein-ii-switch-aaa-1202843637/

They did a fantastic job on Doom so will be interesting to see what it is. It's intriguing to see it'll be announced next month, surely something that's not too long after could have been announced at E3.

Why don't you sit on the jacks and play Fortnight in handheld mode. Then when nature calls just fire away :pac:

CiDeRmAn · 14-06-2018 11:47PM

Full disclosure, I owned Xenoblade before and couldn't get into it, just as I couldn't get into Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii or the 3DS and Xenoblade Chronicles X on the WiiU, I mean I own them all but just found the systems in the game very confusing and not at all intuitive.
So I'm going to give this my all and have another crack at it.

Something Fallout would be oh so sweet

Same here, it's a horrible port. It is some weird mobile mini game layered with football manager.

All you seem to do is rotate the squad to keep them fit and piss about with formations.

Put about 20-30 hours into it and now hate it.

God crossplay is great.

Went from a Fortnite lobby with a few friends on the Xbox to being in bed on the switch and back in the lobby in no time at all. Works really well, don't know why but I wasn't expecting voice chat either.

How does Fortnite control with the Joycon analogues? It's it at least good enough? Their short range made FIFA unplayable for me.

maximoose · 15-06-2018 09:07AM

Takes a while to get used to it but once you do it's fine, the sticks are very sensitive at the default setting. I changed the setting down to 4 (I think) and started racking up kills then.

How did the voice chat work? Were you using a headset?

maximoose · 15-06-2018 10:37AM

Headset plugged into the jack.

Once the two playing on Xbox came out of their party we could all hear each other fine

fixXxer · 15-06-2018 10:55AM

Just played a game of Fortnite on my morning coffee break. Very surprised by how well handheld mode works, everything was nice and smooth. The colours are so vivid, probably after all the time I've spent playing H1Z1

Excellent! What type of headset did you use out of curiosity?

Thanks,

Is Overcooked worth picking up for €12? Good fun for young kids?

Also tempted by SFII Ultra for €20. Any thoughts on this one?

(these are eshop sale prices)

Overcooked is great fun. It depends on how young the kids are as I don't know how the gameplay would appeal.

SFII Ultra is the best and definitive version of SFII, in my opinion, but it's one of those games where it really just exists for that nostalgia hit once in a while. Not sure if it's really worth it when other stuff is out there that your 20 could be better spent on.

Thanks guys. I'm sold! 6 and 8 are the ages so that's great to hear.

Still mulling over SFII. It would be a guilty pleasure I guess.

Why not wait for the 30th Anniversary version?
