    What's this shit about having to buy stuff after you've already bought the game?


    All Switch games aren't like those crappy mobile in-app-purchase games are they?

    Phonics, you will hate the game initially btw, steepish learning curve - the control seems ridiculous at first and just hitting the ball feels like some kind of victory, but stick with it.

    It can cause games to get scratched.

    Yet none of the hundreds of fucking games I traded to them used in the system was ever scratched.
    The manager was dealing with it and mentioned the six month warrantee they give used consoles. Basically, they want to take no chances in case it knacks inside six months and they have no stock to replace it with. To be honest, a second pad for my PS4 helps me take on couch-only stuff for reviews. And I use one for the PC as well.

    Where did you trade yours in at? Game?

    Are CEX any better at taking them on?

    Grainger Games. They're my only option in town for new stock. Would've got £130 back (credit) if they took the pad. Without it wound up being £88 off. CeX would've probably taken the lot off me with no questions asked for an extra fiver but they sell used Switches for £330.

    Just tried 3 games to get back into it. Jesus fuck, it felt like I've never played it before.

    Did get 2 goals and an assist (should have been mine, I pool shotted a teammate into the ball) in the last game though.

    Took me about 3 games to remember there are two different cameras and that using both is pretty essential.

    Really annoying being at rookie.

    About 95% of the players I'm matched with are constantly running to the ball. I've lost count the amount of times I've been lurking at the 'edge of the box' attempting to line up an air shot only for a teammate to ram the shit out of me.

    4 of us with Rocket League now. @Adamski will you be buying it? Only £15. Be good if we get enough to play 3v3 without outsiders.

    Yeah that console cannot handle 4v4.

    P.S. I'm claiming skills at that game. Couple of god like clearances and at one point rammed Mahow in the arse so hard he scored a goal.

    Tried it in handheld for the first time today. It's alright but having my hands that far apart is weird. I'm using Z to just reset the camera behind Mario instead of the right stick which just feels awkwardly out of the way.

    They were always fucking long, you just had more free time. I tried to find a pic that conveyed how Japanese this game is and literally the first picture under 'Xenoblade Chronicles 2' can't be beaten. Meet the two main characters, Priya (some sort of half human half ghost thing that lives inside a sword) and Rex who is... Welsh?

    Oh by the way the place they're standing in is basically our concept of eden which Rex got transported to when a ninja by the name of Jin who looks like this:



    murdered Rex after touching the magical sword that the busty lady above lives in.

    Why arne't they in Eden you ask? Let's consult the wikipedia

    According to legend, the people of Alrest originally resided with their creator, the Architect, in Elysium, atop the World Tree. However, for unknown reasons, they were later expelled from the land. The Architect then sent the Titans to save them, and since then the Titans have been the home to all inhabitants of Alrest. However, the Titans are not immortal, and eventually they will perish and sink beneath the Cloud Sea.
    Titans are big dinosaurs and entire cities live on their back. Basically nothing makes sense.

    It's weird. It's real time but The basic attacks are automated by standing next to the enemy like an MMO, you then build up meter by auto attacking which eventually gives you access to 3 other skills that do more damage/other effects based on your point of attack (by pressing x, y or b) and if you time them correctly you get a boost to your special. Once you've built up enough special meter, you press that and a quick time event pops up which determines damage. Based on whether the enemy you're fighting is weak to that special you can then chain it with party member specials for extra damage.

    That's literally the simplest way I can put it and I'm 6 hours in...

    I think if I actually understood what was going on it might be good but at the moment I'm just lost. This isn't helped by the fact that I'm still in tutorial mode.

    I also got repeatedly killed by a lvl 81 ape called Territorial Joe while I was level 6 trying to head to a main quest. This games weird.

    Had seen that and was all excited for the Wii stuff but there doesn't seem to be any way to get them on a Shield TV outside China.

    I suppose the new Metroid Prime is the next MEGA game. Not sure that's any time soon though as they didn't actually have any footage for E3, just the reveal.



    Phonics and I actually won a 2v2 ranked match on RL, now I can't sleep, clearly too pumped.

    Never played Metroid. Seeing how slowly I am making progress in Zelda, that one might last me until the next console comes out.

    Yeah, I'm tackling Mario a few moons at a time. It was always going to be that way. My backlog is on other consoles and will remain that way. Metroid Prime doesn't even have a date so maybe late next year, if we're lucky. A Nintendo Direct is planned for January, though. Apparently there's a Pokemon announcement coming. The rumours circulating around From Software are gathering pace. If a Souls game came to the Switch, I'd bite.
