Topic: What games are you playing at the moment?

[JerseyKloppite]

So I’m in the middle of playing Golf Story now and just saw on Twitter that the first patch for Sports Story was rolled out a few days ago.

Has anyone checked to see if Sports Story plays less buggy now? Apparently the devs are already working on the next patch…

Not had a go yet as I'm finishing off Pokémon Violet but from looking on Reddit it seems as though they're a long way from resolving all of the issues. I'd hold fire for now.

[emergency exit]

Thanks, I probably need to do that as I'm a bit rubbish at that.

This is the video that instantly made me so much better and more confident when facing Lynels:

There's no need to open a new thread for this. I just wanna ask only.

Okay... Urm, I'm kind of a Playstation guy. I love the processing power of graphic in Playstation.

But but... In your opinion, is it worth it to buy a Nintendo Switch in future? Is it fun?

Any opinion here, from the owners? Because I don't have it and never use it in my whole life, Nintendo Switch.

[Zlen]

I enjoyed mine for a good while, it got me into lot of indie games. Now it’s mostly played by my kid. But unless you’re specifically interested in Switch exclusives I have to say don’t bother. There are though some absolutely brilliant games on Switch.

IMO yes it's worth having the switch. I have a had a PS4 for about 8 years and a switch for about 5. I flip between the two depending on what game I'm really into at one point. There are some astonishing switch only games (zelda, Mario odyessy, Mario kart) that rival anything you can get on PlayStation in terms of quality if not quite up to the same graphics level. The ability to play handheld is a massive plus for me in a busy family home where the TV is being used for something else. Also means you can take the switch with you when you go out, on holiday etc.

[meady1981]

I mean, it was worth it just for Zelda, and the upcoming Zelda for me. Living in a small flat with a kid, the switch helps me have little intense bursts of ‘arcade’ fun on indie games as I can play it anywhere my kid isn’t (and yes sometimes I play it on the toilet). So it’s great in that aspect. I can only play PS when she’s gone to bed. Haven’t actually played my switch through the TV since the first year I had it so the portability is a big plus. I wasn’t really a fan of indie games before, but the switch massively opened them up to me.

[AndyMuller]

Yep, definitely worth it for Zelda and the upcoming Zelda this year.

[stoa]

It also depends on how you like to play. I had a Switch for a while, but gave it to my sister's family, because I wasn't really using it anymore. I enjoyed playing Zelda and some of the other games I had on there, but I'm probably one of the few people who's not really that fond of the Zelda game and in general I have very little interest in any other Nintendo exclusives. Add to that, that the whole handheld-experience is also not really that important to me. I made use of it a bit when I still had the Switch, but I'm basically just playing when I'm at home and then I prefer using either my PC or a console on my TV. It might be different, if you're away from home a lot and want to play there or if you have to commute for a significant time every day and want to pass time with playing.

[Hazell]

Yeah the handheld thing is a big thing for me, otherwise I probably wouldn't have got it. Aside from the Nintendo only games like Zelda, it obviously doesn't have the a lot of biggest newer games but personally that doesn't bother me because it has some fantastic indie titles and ports of older games like Bioshock (which still looks and plays fantastic).

So I guess it depends on what you're looking for in terms of use and what kind of games you want to play.

This, absolutely this!

I already had a PS4 (mainly for Fifa) and went on to buy the Switch mainly for Zelda.

I put the PS4 away a few months ago and now only use my Switch. I love it for its portability and all the wonderful indie games its online store (and some helpful lads right here in this thread) opened up to me.

I wouldn’t trade it for any other console, especially with the new Zelda getting released in May.

[NarutoReds]

Damn, after reading all of the replies here, feels like want to spend my money on Nintendo Switch. It's worth it, as you all have said above.

I trust Rawkites here then.  Portability is the big key here I believe, even the graphic processing power is not as good as Playstation.

[KillieRed]

My daughter loves it for the different kind of games it tends to have. Very rarely plugs it into a tv, but as you say it’s very portable.

[meady1981]

Another big plus for me is that I can pick it up and be carrying on a game within 5 seconds. PS is a bit more of an event due to my own time constraints... firing the TV up, loading the game and waiting half an hour for a story line to play out before I can shoot something

[NarutoReds]

Other than Zelda and Mario stuffs, what are the nice games to have in Nintendo Switch actually?

Anyone can recommend, what are you playing in Switch? I have no idea because from my circles, they are all just playing

- Animal Crossing
- Legend of Zelda
- Mario Kart
- Luigi's Mansion
- Monster Hunter

I mean, for someone who is from Playstation background, those are NOT intriguing for me. I swear God the Mario stuffs would bore me to death.

p/s: Don't get me wrong. Please. Of course I admit millions of people are loving and playing Nintendo Switch. Fans everywhere.

It's just aa... I don't know what to play actually. May I know what's yours? The games.

Which and which are the fun games there. In Nintendo world.

Adding to the list above:

- Metroid Dread
- Super Mario Odyssey

But then especially:
- Hades
- Hollow Knight
- Celeste
- Dead Cells
- Golf Story

^^ These five are amongst the most popular indie games on the Switch. I put countless hours into the first two (Hades: 170h, Hollow Knight: 80h) and, in my opinion, they blow any big title release out of the water! (bar Zelda, maybe).

Both Hollow Knight and Hades also have sequels coming out soon-ish.

[naYoRHa2b]

What kind of games do you like though?

There's no kind of Uncharted, God Of War, TLOU, Spiderman, COD type games.

There's some good rpg's like octopath traveller which is like an old school RPG visually similar to ff8, or xenoblade chronicle games which are open world action RPG.

It's very different from playstation and the games which are on both..well your gonna want to play most of them on PlayStation because the ports of Witcher 3, doom, outer world etc just aren't the same visually.

All the games you listed are good games, not for everyone though.

You'd be better off with a steam deck to be honest

[Hedley Lamarr]

Just started the Bioshock trilogy again, the art design is second to none, just wonderful world building.  Hoping to rattle through them all in time for Dead Space.

In fairness if you don't like those games, I'm not sure the Switch is necessarily for you?

The Switch shines primarily (IMO) with the quality of their big launches (Mario, Zelda, Pokemon etc) and indie games.  There are obviously a lot of other titles, but I'm not sure what you like or are looking for? A fair amount of the other titles may be cross-platform anyway. I'd recommend all of the titles that emergency red mentions above, but no idea if those kind of indie platformers, metroidvania games and RPGs will be your cup of tea!

Echo what JK said above, Switch has fantastic indie games if you're into those. The big titles are usually the likes of Mario and Zelda (I don't play Mario either but have Zelda). If that's not what you want, then it might not be for you.

Just started the Bioshock trilogy again, the art design is second to none, just wonderful world building.  Hoping to rattle through them all in time for Dead Space.

The other thing the Switch has is ports of older games like Bioshock. If playing older games doesn't bother you, then that's another reason to get the Switch. Bioshock is still fantastic to play, even 13 years after it was initially released. Like you say, the art design is brilliant and it still looks great (even on the Switch) after all these years. And the narrative and gameplay are just as great. Plus the trilogy on Switch is usually on sale so you can likely pick it up quite cheap. Now, would you kindly pick up a Switch Naruto?

Oh didn't know they were back on sale. Had a look on German Amazon around Christmas and they only had Xboxes and some kind of waiting list deal for PS5+Horizon. Got myself and Xbox and put myself on the waiting list, but haven't gotten an invite so far. Just had a look and they now have the same God of War bundle with February 1st as earliest delivery.

[Fabulous_aurelio]

I thought I'd have a dabble on one of the many smaller gamepass games that I'd downloaded earlier. I went for 'Subliminal'.

Wank.

Dutch Amazon never has them. I ordered that one on Amazon UK to be delivered in the Netherlands.

Wait for the Switch 2 in any case.

[Fabulous_aurelio]

Now, I'm no Star Wars fan, I've only seen one film, but I thought the trailer for Fallen Order looked good and it looked as if it could be an enjoyable game.

Started playing last night and I'm really enjoying it. Looks beautiful, combat seems okay, there's humour and story seems decent enough so far.

I'll balance this with Ori (Wisps) and BF2042 until Hogwarts Legacy comes out.

[gerrardisgod]

Decided to tackle my backlog (which is pretty hefty)…

Sackboy: A Big Adventure - cozy little platformer, that’s very reminiscent of Rayman Legends. Completed the story, will probably be dropping in and out of it to tidy up the remaining challenges/stickers/trials etc.

Spider-Man - about 70% of the way through the story (which is very good), but the MJ missions are a real drag. When I first played this I was only interested in the little side quests like collecting backpacks, so it’s great to see so many unlocking now I’m getting through the story.

In amongst those I’ve always got time for a few games of Rocket League, kind of wish every season would start you from scratch though, as I’ve hit my ceiling of late Diamond/early Champion. And it’s just becoming an inconsistent win/loss routine.

Got Ragnorak there, but I’m going to play the first one before that, skipping the PS4 is certainly giving me value for money with PS+

[Mr Mingebag Squid]

Just come across Pro Wrestling Sim - Like football manager but for Wrestling - very enjoyable!

This weekend ill be mostly playing Goldeneye on the Switch or Gamepass.

[ScouserAtHeart]

Same. On Gamepass. Haven't played it in about 20 years. Can't wait for another beloved childhood memory to go down the drain, like what happened with the TMNT Cowabunga Edition

played a bit on the switch on my lunch break and taking a while to get on with the controls. :-/  a shame the n64 controller isn't available to buy now really.

hopefully is better on the xbox. got mates coming round for the superbowl in a couple of weeks so hoping this will be a cracking pre-game activity.

Finished Bioshock (for the umpteenth time) yesterday, straight on to the sequel.  Probably my favourite games.

Yes! It still holds up, not just narratively and playability wise but it still looks gorgeous. Sequel was good too. Planning to play Infinite soon (not played it before).

nice one, will give it a go today.

[Hedley Lamarr]

The Dead Space remake/reboot/rewhatever is absolutely awesome, they've made a fantastic game even better,

[meady1981]

Just got Tunic on the switch. Played a few hours and finding quite dull. - I was really looking forward to it.
Wish I’d just got Links Awakening instead.

[Bangin Them In]

The Dead Space remake/reboot/rewhatever is absolutely awesome, they've made a fantastic game even better,

It is fantastic, might give Callisto a go too when it drops in price
