Shorty

Yeah bit embarrassing to look back at how badly the Wii U did, but not sure I'd class it as hilarious - I'd see it is as a sign of success, of learning from your mistakes and doing it all better.

Been loving Snipperclips. Can anyone throw any other ideas from this genre at me? Something where you really have to work together to figure something out. Ideally on PS4 or Switch, but open to suggestions on (almost) any other system to be fair. It doesn't even have to be something where you both take control, maybe something like the Witness where you could just work together?

Since the forum is built on tables I'd be worried that any parsed tags would potentially break the layout, but I'll look into any pre-existing solutions.

Do you guys - who never have trouble turning it on with the PC - ever turn it completely off, or only put it to sleep? How about letting the console battery die?

Just doesn't do anything. Console flashes like it's not paired and I have to get up and press a button on the console. Sometimes it works but usually not any time after the console is re-docked. Maybe specifically after it's docked because the battery died.

Does anyone else have issues waking the console up with the pro controller, after using it in tablet mode then docking it

PS+ games... I add them all because... you never know. Maybe in 40 years PSN will still be going and your grandson will say "hey do you have this game for my video game history studies, apparently it's really rare". Maybe one day you're hankering for a puzzle and you realise that you own one of the highest rated puzzle games of 2015 but you never even noticed. May your PS4 goes to a kids charity when you die and the more games attributed to the account the more children it makes happy. Maybe one day there's another PT and your console is worth £xxxx if it has that rare game on. In your web browser you literally just tick a box next to all of them and add to basket, takes under five seconds.

You can use my quote @S\.C\.G but only if you fix my typo in "leaning" :p

I'm picking this up at the weekend as a game to play when I take the Switch away with my gf We played the demo and had a right laugh, looking forward to it and the price is totally reasonable too.

For some reason I'm worried, I think this'll be the one game out of the big list of hugely awesome recent/upcoming games that'll let me down. Hope to be proven wrong though!

I've said it a few times already but I just want to memorialise how insane this month is. Actually I need to slightly stretch the definition of month because I'm going from Mar 3 - Apr 11 A new Nintendo console and Zelda: Breath of the Wild Nobody knew for sure if Zelda would be as good as it looked, but for me it's knocked it out of the park 110%. Horizon: Zero Dawn When this was announced, I thought it had a lot of promise but would ultimately let us down. Right up until launch many were skeptical that it would be empty and repetitive. And then it turned out to be deep and clever and gorgeous and get loads of high scores. Mass Effect: Andromeda (March 23) Mass Effect is definitely in my top five game series of all time. Again I'm skeptical of whether it'll be good, but hopefully it follows the trend of the rest of the games on this list! Nier Automata I played the demo for this, and while it was enjoyable, I figured it would ultimately be bland and repetitive. A fun action game no doubt, but short and simple. And here it is, scoring higher on average than Horizon. Did anyone expect this?? Persona 5 (April 4) If pushed I might say that Zelda, Mass Effect and Persona make up my top three. And by many accounts, this is the best Persona game to date. You'd figure they'd start to drop the ball eventually, release a crappy entry, and yet it seems we're set to dethrone even the amazing Persona 4. Yooka Laylee (April 11) The Rare team that brought us BK is back and hoping to recapture that original magic. Crowdfunded this so it's one of the few on the list I'll be getting with my bank account still struggling after that Switch purchase! Honorable mentions that fall outside the month window Nioh Resident Evil 7 Night in the Woods Yakuza 0 There are so many games that there's no way I can pick them all up any time soon. I have to pick and choose the ones I really want and the rest will have to wait! This little period is so tightly packed that I genuinely think it will confuse sales figures for a little while. I'm really looking forward to Horizon, Nier and Nioh but all three will definitely wait. Mass Effect is a maybe with only Persona 5 currently pre-ordered. But I can't wait to play them all! How will the rest of the year even compare??

I couldn't tell what it was meant to be so I took my best guess.

I don't think I can read or watch One Piece without waiting a long time to build up several chapters/episodes.

Is that the anime @drahkon? At its current place or just where you're up to? It's definitely one of the most drawn out animes. I hope one day the trend of putting an episode on every week is abandoned in favour of downtime while the manga makes progress.

You've already exceeded the quota of allowed name changes anyway

Secret knowledge: There was another James but he was banned years ago and only had 170 posts so now he's called James_banned.

I think it's a no-brainer. I don't have time to do it anymore, but it's great for lots of things like replayability, or creating competition amongst friends in single player games. The gamerscore on Xbox was great, it was like a scoreboard for your whole game library.

I can read all your criticisms and I don't even disagree with you. But... I'm so glad I don't really agree with you, either. For me, Zelda captures something in its essence, its art, atmosphere, music, sounds, that transcends annoyances about how easy one part is or how little flora there is and such. It sees other, more technically capable, richer worlds and says "so what? This is Hyrule". I know that it's visually weaker than some, and that puzzles are simpler or sillier than those in similar games but... it doesn't matter. I sit down and I just get lost in this game, for hours. I feel like I'm really there. I'm well aware of how corny this sounds. But Zelda is probably the reason I'm here, and I haven't felt like this about a Zelda game since Wind Waker. The list of games that can capture this feeling is very short, and I'm just so happy it's back.

Really. I mean, you could literally just have the name James.

I've used two switches in the same position/settings. On one, no controller desync, on another, frequent and irritating.

I'll put this up there with Horizon and Nioh on the list of games I didn't expect to actually be any good, and instead they're really highly rated! (not the catchiest list title) Sales figures will probably be very misleading for a while as I imagine many people like me will be leaving several of these games for now but absolutely intend to pick them up eventually.

Am I being dense or is it really not possible to turn off (not just sleep) the Switch when it's docked, without physically pressing the button on the thing?

No. And I was using a grey switch in the same place/position all weekend and had no such issue so it's a problem specific to the device, not the environment. It's kind of annoying, I'm going to get rid of the grey one and keep the neon one, just because that's the colour I want, despite knowing it's going to be an issue. Maybe this is all a conspiracy to sell me a pro controller...

They claim to have code in the comments but they don't talk about anything we haven't seen before, like the English voice acting. I'm curious to know if there are any other differences too. That aside, who cares, can't wait. I think Zelda, Mass Effect and Persona might be my three top gaming series of all time, and there's new outings for each within the space of a month. Crazy times. Not only that but there's Nioh, Nier and Horizon out there....

Sooo... I got my Neon Switch eventually, and it has the left joycon sync issue Pretty sure this was confirmed to work out of the box right away.
