    BotW Champions Ballad DLC
    Bought it last night at about 11 and stayed up way too late getting the Gerudo challenge done as my first one.

    I've not been able to do that one in Master Mode yet, so frustrating!

    I picked up The Sims 3 today but it plays weirdly on my 3DS. Has anyone played it on the 3DS?
    It's as if chat bubbles and actions happen on the top screen but I can't see them cos the screen cuts it off.

    Anyone picked up ultimate alliance 3 yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,079 ✭✭✭nedd


    I started Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice this morning on the train. So far so good. It looks great. And all the voices in your head are very well done.

    I'm in the second last area of Bloodstained.

    Pay day tomorrow - curious to see reviews for Fire Emblem!

    The review embargo lifts at 3pm today.

    Don't know how many areas I've to go, (don't really want to know tbh!) but I've just finished the Inferno Caves, and looking forward to exploring some areas I hadn't been able to before now!

    Loads of copies in the wild already. Few people posting opinions on the Nintendo Switch and Fire Emblem sub Reddits.

    Yeah, I'm a decent way into the game now. Really enjoying it, although being a big Marvel fan for close to 20 years possibly get more from it than someone with little to no interest. It is essentially a fairly basic brawler really, and very similar to the previous 2 games if you've played them.

    Abroad since it came out so looking forward to it when I get back

    I picked it up yesterday and put about two hours into it. I'm starting to find it a bit boring; I've yet to die and I'm destroying everything I come across. There doesn't seem to be much variety to it. Does it change up as you go along, even by learning new moves to spice up the gameplay?

    Finally got gold in every single thing on Mario Kart Wii.

    That's MK8, Wii & Double Dash done and dusted.

    Now, MK64 on the old WiiU.

    As before, any tips welcome!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,944 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    Just starting Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Probably not the best time to start such a game but waited all day and night so I'm doing it!

    Any first impressions, getting my copy delivered Monday?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,860 ✭✭✭skerry


    Started on Torna expansion for Xenoblade 2 last night. Liking the tweaks to the battle system. Graphics have got a noticeable improvement over base game too.

    You going for a purist run or gonna take advantage of the 9,000,000 (conservative estimate) shortcuts and glitches in MK64?

    I finished the standard levels in Ape Out and have now unlocked the Break In level. Addictive doesn't begin to describe it.

    I'm enjoying it so far (About 2 hours in). I really can't fault the game yet. Visuals are gorgeous with great accompanying music. Looking forward to getting more hours in!

    I'll tell you what's gonna happen. I'm taking a break from Mario Kart. Played 2 grand prixs and thought I need a break from this.

    But I am gonna stick with the old WiiU, since it's set up now.

    Question for yis. Is Hyrule Warriors worth playing on this, or am I better to try the Switch one? I suppose that has some BOTW stuff in it, which I'll want to see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,553 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Stuck on Stick of Truth can't do Randy's stupid fart getting Fire Emblem tomorrow so gonna move on to that

    Crash Team Racing online is crazy tough. Best finish has been 4th. Closest ive finished to the winner is about 20 seconds. Ive been in numerous races where no other driver has had enough time to complete the race coz the winner was so far ahead. Guess i need to get good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    Played through about an hour of Ultimate Alliance 3 tonight. It's good fun. Button bashy but fun. The cut scenes look great and voice acting so far is on the money.
    Played in handheld and didn't notice and frame rate issues. So far so good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,547 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Splatoon 2 Octo expansion. I'm really out of practice

    There's a feck load of DLC which is all included in the Switch version.

    Doom 3 - sooooo much better than the recent version.

    And a steal at a tenner.

    Oh, I don't know about that.
    The movement and flow of the new one is hard to beat.
    And a steal at a tenner.
    But this is absolutely the case

    After watching some YouTube videos of it this morning, I picked up Forager earlier today. €20 in most places but just over €16 in South Africa.

    It's a crafting game with a huge upgrade tree, lots of systems, building, farming, and some nice mindless grinding (but with constant progression - everything you do gives you experience and helps you level up). It also has 4 dungeons (Zelda style). There is a roadmap (accessible in game) that shows the devs' plans for lots of free upcoming content, including multiplayer. Check out the launch trailer...

    Ff12 remastered.

    Picked up there last week for i think 25 euros.

    My god this game has aged like a fine wine. You will never think its 12 years old.

    Gameplay is amazing and you can see what square where building on with there battles. Story is great and it looks great for a 12 year old game.

    Hands down the switch is probably the best console to come out in the last few years the line up of games are amazing for it.

    I think I have about 50 hard copy games for the switch and about 6 downloaded games on it.

    I have a one X the thing barely gets touched compared to my switch.

    Where'd you get it for €25? I've never played a FF game so might grab this.

    It dropped price last week for a day on amazon. I also get a discount on amazon.

    If you have never played a ff would you be a big jrpg fan?. As there is a huge learning curve in the older ff. The newer ones you can pick up ans play
