Apologies if this has already been posted but Argos UK has preorders of the compendium edition of octopath traveller on pre-order for £31.99, which is cheaper than the regular version on Amazon. Seems like a mistake as this version is 95 quid other places.

Well I ordered it...hope they'll actually honour the price, nice catch there!

Played the ARMS demo, it's super thorough. It's a fun game, tried the motion controls and they seem fine, will try buttons another time. I don't see myself ever really getting quite good at it though.

If the demo allows it, remap the controls. The default setup is a mess.

ARMS is good but it always seemed unfair to me that the pro controller felt easier and plain better than motion controls. It'd be like allowing mouse and keyboard in Splatoon.

They wont, they are know for it. Just hope our orders slip through the cracks and they dont notice until they've sent the orders out.

Nintendo's already producing an entirely different SNES Classic just for Japanese markets so they're probably just gonna keep making more versions of the dang thing.

I'd be legit surprised to see anything announced beyond NES games coming to their online service, for now at least.

Eventually they will, but I'm not expecting to see any announced at E3 or during the initial release of their online service. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

I lost my mother almost five years ago from a brain aneurysm, I cant imagine losing them so young. Im so sorry for your loss..

This article helped me a little bit today: https://johnpavlovitz.com/2015/05/09/for-those-who-hurt-on-mothers-day/

Also, apparently Team Donny won the Splatfest, goddamnit.

Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss as well. That sounds sudden. My mother died suddenly as well. It sucks. It's going to be 20 years in August.

In happier news, this is the meal I was going out to eat!



It's eight hours later and I'm still full. And that's after a longass walk on the beach.

Btw I wasn't able to play very well on the drive down. There was too much traffic and construction and Golf Story requires sort of precise inputs for the more story based stuff so I didn't get too far. Last year on the way down there wasn't as much traffic and I was only shrine hunting. It was a better show of the Switch as a portable. Still the best though was playing on the airplane on the way to my dad's high school reunion last fall. I felt like the douchebag millennial from the reveal trailer, only I was playing Stardew, not Skyrim.

Didn't see anyone answer this.

I think it depends on your tolerance for old collectathon platformers. A lot of the anger and complaints about the game is that it doesn't evolve the genre or improve upon it, it's basically just More Banjo Kazooie. I went in without the hype and I enjoyed the game for what it's worth, so if you just want to run around doing 3D platforming and collecting weird things with eyes then you'll probably enjoy it :shobon: Obviously it won't perfectly live up to the nostalgia of playing those games as a kid, but I thought it was an enjoyable game.

They added spawning portals and some items that are a lot like older times but not as good, and a worse version of greed mode and a boss that makes Hush feel fun.

But they made sacrifice rooms better so maybe it evens out.

I'm exaggerating, but I do hate portals, and having beaten each of them once, i can't see myself ever fighting Delerium or Ultra Greed again.

I used to love this game :smith:

Also who on earth thought it was a good idea to include so many guaranteed* damage rooms. A small room with 9 fatties on the second floor? Really?? I guess Edmund thought the game was too fair, because it looks like the bullshit has been ramped up a thousandfold.

It is like someone released an HD version of an N64 game with exactly those design philosophies intact. They did a bunch of work to improve it from launch but its still exactly that at its heart even if now the camera isnt also the worst thing in existence.

I found it super boring and frustrating to play, but I also played the launch version and some complaints were addressed since then. Others like the incessant quiz bullshit remain
