I really like it when games come with a reversible cover that you can flip around to have really nice box art, but the art on the inside is always so much better that I'm left wondering why they didn't just use it as the regular cover that people see on store shelves. Splatoon 2 has one of the coolest covers I've ever seen on the inside, while the outside makes it look like you're buying an early 00's PC shovelware game.

Yeah I don't think people realize how much of a powerhouse the Switch is in just 9 months of being released. Literally every previous Nintendo console and handheld has had an amazingly lovely first year; even the 3DS struggled for 9 months until MK7, Mario 3D Land and MH came out later that year. Before that point it was looking like the Vita was prepped to take a heaping dump all over it.
Didn't the Gamecube secretly have a really good launch year? Or am I just like merging three years together in my head.

I guess so, I hadn't thought of that.

Giant ESRB logos on the front cover really needs to stop because people completely ignore them anyway and it's also printed on the back for the six people who care.

It did have Rouge Squadron 2 and Melee as launch titles, and Luigi's Mansion which is only recently getting the love it deserved.

If you go back to all the old Luigi's Mansion reviews they all score the game low because their main complaint is literally "But I wanted a Mario game"

I guess the obvious answer is to print the good side on both sides, one with logos and one without

Melee wasn't a launch game I thought? It came out like, a month later or something.
Still, the Gamecube came out in November and a lot of people like me got it for Christmas along Melee and Rogue Squadron (what a great Christmas :allears:) so I guess the point is moot.

Luigi's Mansion is genuinely one of my favorite games to play every October.

I got that and Rogue Squadron for Christmas when it was released. GameCube has so many good games.

If we go by the North American release date Metroid Prime squeezes into the GameCube's first year and that game is a GOAT contender.

I used to work a 12 hour shift on Sundays with maybe 2-4 hours of actual work to do. My computer had 2 28” monitors, only one of which was actually needed for work.

That was a year before the Switch came out :smith:.

Of course, now I work from home—but it’s during the week, so I don’t actually have time to do anything but work with the occasional forums check while I’m on the clock.

I recently finish Shadow of Mordor and the ending 'fights' really soured me on the game because it was such anti-climatic QTE garbage that if they weren't going to give you a decent fight (no the pre-Tower fight doesn't count) then just make it a cutscene.

Still going to eventually get Shadow of War but I hope it has a better ending. I can't imagine it'll be worse than Shelob's makeover or the various other bad fanfic that the game uses to create its backstory.

If you haven't played BotW in Master Mode you haven't played it at all.

Stardew is only £11! That's a great price. Any must know tips for new players?

Wow, that is unfortunate. I am not into mods (other than texture packs for Elder Scroll and Fallout games), but that is pretty gross that CF doesn't come out and be more vocal on behalf of their community/customers, and possibly even helps ban people and remove bad reviews. Maybe Stardewhen is now Stardewon't in my book. Will go ahead and just get Golf Story now. I was holding out for Stardew Valley on Thursday and then just get to Golf Story after I finish Odyssey.. not anymore.

Axiom Verge is like if you took a Metroid game and made all the movement, weapons, enemies, bosses, graphics and music incredibly bad,slow and boring.

Yeah if you can get Axiom Verge cheap on steam then go for that, or buy the metroid 2 remake. I didn't think it was very good.
