Please compare it to Colony Wars 1-3, my gold standard for console space combat (because I can't be arsed to buy Elite: Dangerous).

Great throwback. I loved those games as well but I hardly ever see them mentioned or discussed. I remember the cool ads they had in gamer mags and eventually I got to play them at a cousin’s house. Really felt like you were part of a huge war rather than being a lone hero.

You just stay seated at a bonfire if you want to walk away and not worry about getting invaded (pvp) in dark souls. Or if not connected to the internet just stand wherever you are, provided there are not enemies in sight. It’s ok.

God this is really taking me back. I had the first DS a decade ago, never got more than a third of the way through it but I was addicted.

I've forgotten almost everything about it by now, but I basically bought a Switch for this game.

Looking forward to the DS posts in here after release...from newbies and old hands, I'm sure.

I’m so bad I’ve never beaten any of them because I end up losing interest. The atmosphere and world design were always the appeal for me. The first one I played almost entirely offline because I was living in a hotel at that time and the internet was too slow for gaming. Really relied a lot on sunbro in that game. When 2 came out and I played online from the get go it was such a different experience.

Holy cow, that does look good. Between that and the work they've done on Bethesda's games they can name their own price if someone wants to port their game to the Switch.

I hope it lives up! I played a little on Xbox to try it out and I like it, having it on switch would be great for me as I travel a lot

I played Paladins on a whim last night and I forgot how drat good it runs and plays on Switch. I think I’m gonna add it on to my regular rotation to keep me from getting Fortnite burnout.

The switch has some crazy good free games on it

I like the gameplay but I always end up with awful teammates. Everyone slam picks a flanker or one of the snipers right away and we are always left with no support or frontline. I actually like playing support (seris is my go to) so I usually roger up but sometimes I want to try something else. Also have problems with people never touching the objective.

I am glad we don’t have chat because what I’ve seen from pc is just horrible in game chat between teammates, especially directed at supports.

I'm interested in getting something like 7 Days to Die/The Forest/Subnautica on the Switch but I'm not seeing much - just Minecraft (already own it), Portal Knights (already have on PC) and something called Radiation Island, which looks janky as hell but is the exact type of game I'm looking for and it somehow has mostly positive reviews on Steam.

I searched the eStore but didn't notice anything else in that vein - is that all there is?

Can’t help you much but I know radiation island started as an iOS game so that may temper your interest.

I played Crusader back on Diablo 3 PS4. I liked it. I wanted to try something new... I picked a Monk for Seasonal. He seems ok so far... any words of encouragement or discouragement about keeping him vs picking something else...?

Every class is viable. If you don’t like the feel then you can easily restart with a new class and get them up to 80 quickly. Season lasts a couple months at minimum so you’re not losing a lot of time. I only tried monk once and it was strong but not exciting to me.

Yeah Panic Button is awesome and the people behind Warframe care immensely about their product and their community, so all signs point to this being a good port. Warframe is loving impenetrable to me since I tried it years ago but maybe I'll try it again on Switch.

Yea I’ve only played a few hours on Xbox after hearing it was coming to switch. I had a buddy run me through some stuff and there’s a lot to pick up mechanics wise but the core gameplay of just killing mobs was fun. I figure switch will have a lot of first timers so it won’t be bad to start off

Warframe is free to play. The monetization aspect is fair from what I understand of it

I got the armor set from the season journey with my necromancer and went to get it with my crusader, but it turns out you can’t get the reward for multiple characters

That’s a bit of a bummer, because now I don’t have near as much incentive to play (until next season)

Use a different build. The one revolving around the season set isn’t the only viable one. Or have someone power level your crusader.

I don't have gamer friends and I've been looking for stuff to entertain guests with on the Switch.

1-2-Switch seems like a cool novelty but it's loving £35 still and I'm not sure how much of a hit it'd be. Tennis was my next thought, I'm gonna get Tennis I think.

My wife doesn’t play games at all but she likes Mario Party (it’s the second game I’ve ever seen her play). She prefers the river rafting co op mode since it’s a team effort. She will play the regular party mode and do fine but she finds the random stars at the end to be frustrating and anything more than a ten turn limit is too much (which I agree with).

We also tried overcooked 2 this week but it hasn’t clicked with her yet. Might be too hectic but I think other non gamer friends I have might enjoy it.

Finally started up Warframe after downloading it when it launched and... It's good? Confusing as all gently caress, but I read the RPS and Polygon intro articles about it and that helped.

Squadding up with randoms is never something I'm comfortable with in a game, especially if it's a game that I'm brand new to because I'm always super self conscious and worried I'm gonna drag the team down with my mediocre gaming skills.

But either Warframe is pairing me up with bots (a la Paladins) or the randoms I'm getting paired with are worse at videogames than I am, because I keep being the only one who actually stays on task and kills enemies, everyone else kind of runs around sometimes shooting.

It's also been wicked easy so far, but I'm guessing that's part of the F2P thing--if the the difficulty starts off even slightly hard you risk driving away potential customers before they get hooked.

It also looks surprisingly good for a Switch game.

Ask me about hitting said gamebreaking bug!

The worst part is that bug occurs with what is an absolutely terrible mechanic that shouldnt have been in the game anyway where the game starts gating your progress by forcing you to trade it specific, rare cards in a random card winning collectible card game environment. Its a huge reason that bug is even worse than it sounds because you can keep playing and grinding never knowing its impossible for the card theyre asking for to actually drop.

Sounds like it was ahead of its time in foretelling the gated, p2w or grind PvP hell that ccg games now are

I've always said that Perfect Dark 64 would be.... perfect if it had a smooth framerate and maybe online play.

The XBLA version fixes both of those things, and I need it (and/or Timesplitters) on the Switch.

Timesplitters is extremely dope and it’s big focus on local multi would be good well with the switch’s rooftop party design
