Bought it like I said I would, downloading it right now. .. Don't know when I'll be actually playing this though. Where's that drought?

The demo is available on the E-shop.

I'm nowhere close to finishing Xenoblade, but I'm getting this as well regardless, as well as Sexy Brutale. Maybe support for Phantom Breaker will also help getting their visual Novels localized.. Steins;Gate elite would be a good choice, though I'm probably going to pass on that (probably), but I'm definitely hoping Anonymous;Code makes it here.

I haven't considered that, because I fight like a man.

No, it's different in this game. The tough creatures will mess you up regardless of how many hearts you have if you don't know how to fight them. All other 3D Zeldas, and most, if not all 2D Zeldas, get considerably easier the more hearts you collect, as you can take more hits and may finish a fight even if you're not fighting optimally. The 3D Zeldas already being easy to begin with.

Deadpool voicing Pikachu, how about that. Now I want Ryan Reynoalds to voice Pikachu in every game. In his normal voice. (obviously give him dialogue in that case.. Preferrably sarcastic and cynical).

<sigh> I really want the game (a lot more than most others here), but for that price I really need a physical version. Can someone tell me how exactly it compares to Banjo-Tooie in regards to content?

Season 4 will be available 29-12-2017.

The thing is, I actually like the cast of the recent films (RIP Anton Yelchin), but yeah, the films got stale quickly. Tarantino may provide the shake-up the films need.

Apparently Disney is close to buying Fox. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/05/disney-and-fox-are-closing-in-on-deal-could-be-announced-next-week--sources.html Which would make the X-men joining the MCU a real possibility. Personally I actually don't want that to happen, I kind of like them separate. The X-men universe alone would add tons of characters to an already packed MCU. I also like how Fox has started to experiment a little with things like Logan, and I don't see them doing something like that within the MCU at the moment. They also simply won't integrate easily within the MCU storyline.. They'd both need reboots. Which would probably be easier for X-men (they've never been consistent anyway), they could simply reboot it like they did with Spider-man, but it would have a major impact on the MCU.

.. It seems Tarantino is in talks to direct the next Star Trek film. https://deadline.com/2017/12/quentin-tarantino-star-trek-movie-jj-abrams-1202220032/ It's.. unexected, but I'm all on board if it happens!

I just downloaded this (of course), if anyone else has, and is willing to sacrifice one hour of game time with Xenoblades Chronicles 2 (or whatever you're playing) to check out the online multiplayer, then I'm game. If not, I'll play with randoms and report back.

On Saturday, I think I played for almost 14 hours straight if the in-game time is to be believed. That wasn't such a good idea in hindsight, haha. But I'm enjoying the game. Finished chapters 1 and 2 that day, and also managed to get a rare blade. Started chapter 3 yesterday, but haven't done much. Nia is awesome, and I love her Japanese voice. I'm slowly getting to grips with the combat system, I'm slowly understanding those elemental combos (or whatever they're called, there are so many combos). My strategy for chapters 1 and 2 was generally to cancel auto-attacks with my arts, and slowly build up to a level IV special. But the game is not perfect. Some minor gripes: No video capture (I mean, I know it's coming, but as a major Nintendo game, you'd expect it to have it from the start). I mean, now I can't share all my hilarious deaths. "Skip" travel is a bit immersion breaking No overview of tutorials. Some major gripes: I'd like a more intuitive map system, preferrably à la Zelda. After finishing chapter 2, I had no clue where I needed to go. Blindly following the marker just lead me to a steap cliff everytime. I went almost everywhere, found 2 rare cores in the process, but I didn't figure out where to go until I messed around with the skip travel function which actually lets you view a zoomed out map. I appreciate the option for Japanese voices, however, none of the party banter has been subtitles, and that's a huge disappointment. I feel like I miss a lot. Also, I suspect the subtitles aren't properly translated, but rather just captions from the English voices (dubtitles in anime terms), but I could be wrong. I think there was something else but I forgot. I haven't had any problems with performance so far, it's not the smoothest or prettiest, but nothing major. Then again I mostly play docked. I also came across various fiels skill barriers, but nothing hindering my progress so far. Anyway, I'll get back to it now.

I'd buy a Met amiibo.

I'm not really into race games, but those sprites look delicious.

Well, except it's not a trick as most of the games looked like that, it's part of the charm, and I don't need to tell you there's a market for pixel loving gamers on the Switch. I mean, there's Mighty Gunvolt Burst, which is just as essential for mega Man fans. If a new direction was "necessary", I'd have preferred hand-drawn animation (a lá Wonderboy). Regardless, the gameplay looks classic and fun, so I'm all in.

Not quite what I wanted (I want 8-bit graphics), but hey, I'll gladly take it.

I just want Megaman 11. Edit: Oh shit! I want a million Euros. Edit 2: Ah crap, it stopped working.

Finally. Well, there we go! See you next week.

I'll get back to you to elaborate, but in short: the gameplay is annoying, and so is the robot.

I watched unboxings of both the EU en NA collector's edition. It's a damn shame we're getting a softcover artbook, because aside of that, our box looks so much better than the American one. I would gladly pay 10 euros more if it meant getting a hardcover artbook and full soundtrack, making it the perfect collector's edition. I can't wait for mine to arrive. Hopefully shortly. Within the hour. Or at least today. I've been enough outside for today.. But maybe I should go out again anyway, and hunt down the postman. I mean, I've downloaded the Japanese voicepack over a day ago! I want to hear them!

Do not buy OPUS.

While it's boring, it doesn't make sense to watch the episodes out of order.

Yeah December is going to be exactly the same as November: a never-ending stream of games.
