  1. I definitely like this game a lot more in the second half. There's some consistently infuriating parts and the dialogue/cutscenes occasionally get barf-level corny but the overall gameplay etc is much better. I'm pretty close to the end and then I accidentally read a trophy that sounds like a huge spoiler, but we'll see.

  2. So I have to say my initial reservation about only one island on the Switch definitely proved to be founded. I don't play the game at all, because it's my SO's. And she likes to do everything every day, shake every tree, hit every rock, hand in every creature and fossil. I couldn't bring myself to take that away. So really I'm just a blight on her island still in my first house with one room and a camper bed. I don't mind, I didn't buy the game and I'm happy to let it be hers. But I wish I could have my own island, too.

  3. When I got to chapter 9/10 I started to like the game more, I think it gets a lot better from there. The combat is a lot better against easy to medium enemies, but anything fast or particularly dangerous it's still very frustrating. There's just not enough ways to counter fast moving attacks, and the amount of things that can interrupt your attacks and magic really make you feel powerless at times. However, yeah, I would definitely say overall I'm liking the game a lot more now.

  4. I'm at chapter 8 and I just can't decide if I like this or not.

    Which I guess means I don't.

    I think I'm only playing it because I wanted it for so long, and the music and beautiful reimagining of everything is something special.

    But the combat and linear gameplay are shite.

    Tried it out last night. Watched Coco, and it worked flawlessly. HD picture with no stuttering, buffering or anything.

    HD picture?? I was about to jump in but I'm not going to if its such low resolution :/

     

     

    :D

    I bought from Daisy Mae for 105 and the Nooklets are buying them  for 164 bells this evening. I'm thinking about going for it but I just know as soon as I do, the price will quadruple!

    Talk about a blast from the past! Long time no see :) hope you're keeping well.

    164 bells gives me a bit of hope. I'll take a chance and wait a little longer.

    It depends on whether you want to do everything yourself or whether you want to share the workload.

    Keep in mind that whoever starts the first file is designed the Island Representative. I'm not entirely sure what that means.

    I went and deleted my post because I realised the financial irresponsibility of what I was suggesting :p thanks for the response though.

    Anyone bought disk? Is there any day one download needed? My g/f's copy came in the post, I'll get it installed/up to date if that's needed. (I know, I know, it's not an EA Xbox 360 game but I thought I'd ask)

  8. I bought SotC a while ago when it was on offer, it never really clicked for me. I think it was probably a real product of its era, much like Ico, that doesn't necessarily stack up as well now that we're less awed by sheer immense scale. That said, I'm sure it will still tick the box for a lot of people.

  9. Yeah I still print a lot of miniatures for D&D! Although it's an uphill struggle sometimes. Since this is the purchases thread, I can mention that I recently bought an upgrade to the main board (SKR Mini 1.3) that does an amazing job of making the printer so much quieter. Who know it was the stepper drivers making all that noise.

  10. It's good fun but I wish we'd experienced something more than combat. I feel like I've played enough corridor combat FFs over the years (and never gotten more than an hour into them) so I gotta know that downtime stuff is up-to-scratch too.

    I mean, it's not like I won't pre-order it. I will. And that music and the sheer disbelief that after all these years, I was really playing an FFVII remake... I mean... damn.
