I was playing it on the train this morning, and it's simply a phenomenal achievement. Anyone with a taste for RPGs or open-world adventure games definitely needs to pick it up.
People calling Kanye unoriginal though? Huh? There's no hip-hop artist with a more consistent record of quality output, and that's with him releasing garbage like Yeezus.
A shame they moved away from the Zelda-style hame they had with the first two in the series. Darksiders II was phenomenal when I played it on Xbox, and I'm planning on picking it up again for Switch.
@LocalPenguin I'm based in the US. I'd recommend pointing out that Versus Evil have been extremely uncommunicative and have told people specifically to ask for a refund if they don't like the glacial pace they're moving at to fix (lol) the issues
If Konami had any sense they'd have announced Castlevania Collection II with the GBA and DS hames in the wake of this debacle, but that, of course, would make far too much sense/money.

Re: BioShock: The Collection Could Be Coming To Switch According To New Rating
Bioshock Infinite is awful. I never understood the acclaim.
Re: Skies Of Arcadia Dev "Really" Wants To Make A Sequel
Please. Easily one of the greatest RPGs of all time.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild And Pokémon GO Feature In TIME's Best Games Of The Decade List
Praying for a Disco Elysium Switch port. Glad to see Dark Souls rightfully recognized too.
Pokémon Go isn’t even an actual game though.
Re: Deals: These Are The eShop Games You Should Download This Black Friday
Picked up Disgaea 5 Complete for $20--bargain!
Re: Stardew Valley's Latest Update Adds A New End-Game Mystery And Much More
Perfect time to start a new farm then. I regret choosing the fishing farm on my first one...
Re: Power Stone-Style Brawler LastFight Is Out Now On Switch, We Think
A whole two seconds of gameplay--wow!

I miss Etrian Odyssey...

Re: Video: Here's What Alien: Isolation Looks Like On Nintendo Switch
@DinnerAndWine haha!
I was going to ask if anyone knew if they'd announced the price yet. It's available on Game Pass too right now.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Upcoming Major Switch Games
Where's my 2020 Pikmin?
Re: Dark Souls-Like ANIMUS: Harbinger Brings The Battle To Switch Next Week
This looks painful; hard just to read that features list!
People should just grabs Dark Souls. It truly is a masterpiece.
Re: Random: Hmm, This New Kanye West Song Sure Sounds Familiar
Ave Christus Rex!

Re: Atlus Is Releasing Persona 5 Scramble In Japan Next February
@BlueBlur101 Persona is SMT; the mainline games are near irrelevant in terms of revenue and popularity in comparison
It was P4 which launched the animes, live events, spin-off games and massive merchandising push, and built the hype and anticipation for P5
Re: Review: Return Of The Obra Dinn - A Beautifully Crafted Detective Mystery
Super game; it took me about 8 hours, I'd estimate. Little to no incentive to return though, so I'd recommend waiting for a sale.
Re: Atlus Is Releasing Persona 5 Scramble In Japan Next February
@Coochie_Kong Atlus is owned by Sega
Re: Atlus Is Releasing Persona 5 Scramble In Japan Next February
@BlueBlur101 it was P4 which took the series to the next level globally. Naoto, Teddie or Yu would have been far more popular choices.
Re: Atlus Is Releasing Persona 5 Scramble In Japan Next February
This game has zero appeal to anyone who hasn’t played Persona 5, which is of course unavailable on Switch.
It’s going to tank on Switch, and I hope Sega fires someone for such incompetence.

Re: Darksiders Genesis Hits Switch On Valentine's Day 2020, But Google Stadia Is Getting It Earlier
A shame they moved away from the Zelda-style hame they had with the first two in the series. Darksiders II was phenomenal when I played it on Xbox, and I'm planning on picking it up again for Switch.
Re: Pre-Orders Are Now Live For Switch Co-Op Shooter Earthfall: Alien Horde
As a L4D junkie I'm interested. I'll wait for review scores though considering the reception it had on Xbox...
Re: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Will Be Censored On Switch
Still better than Persona 5 Scramble
Re: Review: Baldur's Gate And Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Editions - Two RPG Classics On The Go
@LocalPenguin I'm with you. I'm still hoping that maybe at the start of next year it'll be fixed and I can get on sale then...
Re: Review: Planescape: Torment & Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition - Two Very Different RPG Gems
I was never much of a fan of Icewind Dale when it came out either. Planescape is one of my favorite ever games, but it's definitely not worth $50.
There was a reason they decided to bundle these two together.
Re: Review: Baldur's Gate And Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Editions - Two RPG Classics On The Go

Re: Review: Baldur's Gate And Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Editions - Two RPG Classics On The Go
@Dr_Awkward absolutely. This is the one game I've ever asked for a refund for (and got it) due to it simply being broken. I got Divinity OS2 instead.
Re: Review: Baldur's Gate And Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Editions - Two RPG Classics On The Go
These games are but grease stains on the wheel of time compared to Tiax!
@dsparil Throne of Bhaal is included
Re: Review: Overland - A Survival Roguelike That's Often Too Frustrating For Its Own Good
@klingki because it’s a massive disappointment given the hype that the game’s received and the criticisms I’ve read here and seen elsewhere
Re: Review: Overland - A Survival Roguelike That's Often Too Frustrating For Its Own Good
No wonder they didn't give out any early review codes to anyone
Re: Squad Shooter Earthfall: Alien Horde Blasts Its Way Onto Switch Next Month
I loved both L4D games, so this had piqued my interest when coming out on Xbox One, although I never bought.
If reviews are decent, I'll definitely pick it up.
Re: Review: Ni no Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch - Level-5's RPG Classic Will Bewitch Your Switch
@Ralek85 I'd be all over a re-release of either on Switch!
Re: Square Enix Is Releasing A Game Boy Color Dragon Quest Game On Switch eShop
I loved Dragon Warrior Monsters--definite buy from me if it gets released here!
Re: Return Of The Obra Dinn Drifts Onto Nintendo Switch Later This Year
Papers, Please was great, and this looks terrific too.

Re: Football Manager 2020 Confirmed For Switch, But It'll Be "Fastest" On Google Stadia
There's zero incentive to get this on Switch when it's more accessible (and presumably cheaper as has been the case) on my phone.
Re: Trine Dev Frozenbyte Is Surprise-Launching A New Multiplayer Melee Fighter On Switch Today
Looks incredibly janky
Re: Talking Point: With Overwatch Apparently Switch-Bound, The Future's Bright For Blizzard And Nintendo
Is there much point having an essentially online game ported over to a system whose greatest strength is portability?
At least Hearthstone has some offline play options.
Re: Ready Your Tin Foil Hats For The Bradwell Conspiracy On Switch This Fall
Intriguing! So long as the price-point is reasonably, I'll be picking up.
Re: Retrieve Lost Memories In Headspun On Switch Later In August
Anyone know when To The Moon is coming out?
Re: Risk Of Rain 2 Drops On Switch This Summer
The first one on the Vita was great--I'm certainly interested in this one!
Re: Plunge Brings Quirky Turn-Based Puzzling To Switch Next Week
Looks right up my street. $10 and it's a must-buy.
EDIT: Devs confirmed it's $7.99
Re: New Switch RPG Silk Promises The "Biggest Handcrafted Open World Of All Time"

Re: Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition Officially Announced For Switch, Release Date Revealed
A brilliant game. The best Zelda clone out there.
Re: Video: 13 Fantastic New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In August
I didn't realize that they were porting the first Pillars too. Sorely tempting, but damn is that big for an isometric RPG!
Re: Journey To The Outer Worlds When Obsidian's Space RPG Lands On Switch
A fairly major studio who actually wants to make money--what a refreshing dose of common sense!
Re: Battle Brexit On Switch With Not Tonight: Take Back Control Edition
A bit like Monkey Island crossed with Papers, Please--a shame that it's utterly absurd in tone.
I wonder what a video game consulted upon by Sir Roger Scruton would look like...
Re: Nihon Falcom Lacks The Ability To Release More Games On Switch, Says President
Talk about incompetence!
You'd think that a company who loved the Vita like they did would appreciate the crazy software attach rate that the Switch similarly has.
Re: Review: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - A Fine Castlevania Tribute That's A Technical Trainwreck On Switch
If Konami had any sense they'd have announced Castlevania Collection II with the GBA and DS hames in the wake of this debacle, but that, of course, would make far too much sense/money.
