Nice! Hope you enjoy it.

Yeah that's the one. It has slightly less RAM than the regular G5 but is a lot cheaper and essentially nearly the same. You can also buy it fulfilled by Amazon for a few pounds more, which might be a better idea than Groupon, especially if you ever need to deal with customer service. The cool thing about the G5 is that you can get extra modules for it too depending on what you like. Just to point out that the G5 SE still connects to 4G, and 1GB less RAM is nothing much to worry about in all honesty. I went from the Nexus 4 to the G4, so I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised jumping to the G5 SE.

I wouldn't be torn, Stardew Valley is meant to be a great game whereas Harvest Moon lost its way a long time ago.

If you bought a PS4 without a blu ray drive then I'd hope you had a big hard drive and deep pockets. No physical games for you.

I don't see that being an issue to be honest, app support continues for a long time as it's in everyone's interests to be make sure money continues to be funnelled into apps. It's your choice, but the G4 is a much better phone for the money. If you want, spend that extra 34 quid or so for the G5 which is only last year's model. I'd be more concerned with diminishing battery capacity in a phone you plan to use for a long time. With most phones the battery is not replaceable; with the G4/G5 it is replaceable.

For £250 you can buy the LG G4 off Amazon which is a better phone than the Moto G5 Plus: link. Spec comparison: link. It's the phone I use. Has a compass and the camera is very good too. If you're willing to pay about £35 more you can also go for its sequel, the 1 year newer LG G5, but I tried to find a phone that was the same as your budget.

Then that's the year I sell it. I am hoping they make more new and big games as to me it feels like they will otherwise be treading water after a year or two. They've already assigned 3D Mario and Zelda to year 1.

And then what about the year after that?

It makes me wonder what there will be left to release next year. Apart from the delayed Xenoblade, obviously.

Rayman Legends...Christ, I forgot they were still bringing this game to Switch!

You say it's a no brainer but I paid absolutely nothing extra and Nintendo fixed it for free as part of the 12 month warranty. It's such a common issue with the device that they simply can't ignore it. For TVs, I heartily recommend John Lewis who give you a 5 year warranty as standard. I got my TV completely replaced at no extra cost with a new model 3 years or so after purchase since it started to develop a defect in the corners.

Not sure why you paid for a guarantee, if it's a joycon desynchronization issue Nintendo will fix it under warranty (Nintendo did for me). Just give them a call and explain the issue and they'll send you a label to return just the affected joycon for free.

Why would you when there's Stardew Valley?

Reggie tends to be full of shit though. He's also bound to say that as he's not going to admit something potentially negative.

You could argue that Nintendo can't do these screenings live as they need these segments, on account of not having enough games to make up a reasonable length show. I bet they wish they could do trailer trailer trailer. I would have killed for tappa tappa tappa.

Basically if you have good games to show, live event is the way to do it. Honestly, look up some of the live reaction videos to Sony's E3 2015 showing (the triple - Last Guardian, FF7, Shenmue 3). Unreal.

I don't see any point to that. For one, Switch is first and foremost a handheld console. Second, they'd then be splitting their development teams across two systems again and potentially halving their output for each. Seems more like to me that they're trying to squeeze the last pennies out of people before it's dropped I'm sure the GBA Micro came out quite close to the end of its life too. Personally, I think the sooner they drop the 3DS brand the better for everyone.

Do they need to find a way to make it way cheaper? PS4 has sold gangbusters ever since it released at the more expensive price of 350 quid. I think it's more software than price that is stopping people jumping right now. I'd also say they're targeting the same people. Even though this new 2DS is half the price, that doesn't mean people who would buy this couldn't also afford a Switch. But I do think that anyone buying this might then not pick up a Switch until later down the line.

Looks cool but aren't the Switch and this basically targeting the same customers?

I no rite, let's go Twilight Princess 8.8-gate all over again.

I got a PSVR recently due to finding it on sale somewhere and getting a bonus. It's really, really cool. I was just playing Thumper last night and was impressed with how immersive it makes the game feel. My only negatives for the system is the resolution and that the lens gets steamed up often, but other than that it's a really enjoyable piece of kit. The Playroom VR platforming level is indeed nothing short of genius. That bit where you go through the cave and the vine comes close to your face is unreal.

Yeah I meant more that the person who was trying to sell a job to someone while also mentioning their staff work all hours isn't doing a great job advertising it.

Oh wow, your people work til 10PM? Sign me up! What a special kind of fucking idiot lol.

Very underdeveloped characters and a story that doesn't capture you in any way like in previous FF games. I remember walking away realising that some characters in your party never even really talked to each other in any cutscene/part of the game. A lot of the dungeons were more like those found in Final Fantasy XI, i.e. an online game with vast but pretty soulless levels. The battle system is probably the strongest point but at the same time the goal is essentially to make the game play itself (not kidding), so you kinda wonder what your role in the battles is after a time. A real lack of awe-inspiring 'epic' moments that you'll remember as well. Like most of the cutscenes in VII or VIII - so many of them were memorable and left you with impressions about those characters. There's little like that in this game.

Well if you start with XII it can only get better.
