    As expected.  Seems reasonable considering that the more expensive ones come with very substantial DLC.

    Remember that the other upgrades that don’t come with new gameplay content are free.

    It’s a bit of a stretch to call the Zelda app thing “gameplay content” to be fair.

    Just broke the 100hrs game-time this weekend.

    I’ve still only got the one Armour Set, which is quite unusual for me, but with the weapons now having Skills I’ve settled on a “one suits all” set of armour.

    Weapon-wise though, I’ve done my usual thing and I’m crafting one of each element for the weapons I use regularly, and also some status effect weapons for the fast-hitting weapons.

    …so, that’s 68 weapons.

    I might add to that and give a Switch Axe a go, seeing how I’ve not used it since MH Tri.

     

    EDIT: I’ve caved and I’ve added an additional 8 Switch Axes & 9 Gun-Lances to my wishlist… I think I have a problem!

    Nintendo just uploaded this commercial for the Switch 2 starring Paul Rudd:

    Which is a call back to a Super Nintendo commercial he did for them before he was famous, back in 1991:

     

    This is why the game prices have been hiked, to pay for Paul Rudd!

    …but also the software that the console is launching with. It's a VERY weak line up, with no big Nintendo single player game being ready at launch. I'm still baffled why the line up is so poor. Considering how long the original Switch has been going they should have had an amazing software schedule going. As it stands, it's relying heavily on upgrades and old 3rd party games. 

    This too.

    In all honesty, Metroid Prime 4 is the only game that has me wanting to get the console… the mouse controls and performance really sell it to me over the Switch version.

    Kit & Krysta’s channel has been real good to watch during this Switch 2 reveal, given their insights to the company and the PR they’re putting, and not putting, out there.

    Krysta raises a fantastic point about the justification of MKW’s $80 price tag; that Nintendo have said that the longevity of the game is taken into account when pricing, that if MKW has paid DLC then what does that truly say about the longevity!

    Thinking about switching things up and using a different weapon. Not sure which one, though.
    Might go with Insect Glaive.

    I’ve never just used one weapon on the games, I’ve always found it much more fun to switch weapons.

    I’m thinking of crafting Insect Glaive next myself.

    I’ve been using Charge Blade, Bow, Lance, Hammer and Dual Blades so far, and recently crafted a Great Sword and Hunting Horn.

    I’m yet to start crafting different elemental/status weapons from each type too.

    I’ve still got hundreds more hours of enjoyment in me yet!

    Whole lot of nothing for me. I was holding off trading it in to see if anything decent would drop. A trip to CEX could be on the cards.

    The long awaited monster is rumoured to be Lagi.

    A trade-in a month after release… I never thought I’d see the day that Hero hangs up his hunting greaves so quickly!

    Anyone here watched Frieren? Unironically one of the most beautiful (both visually and thematically) pieces of media I've seen for the last couple of years. Between that and Apothecary Diaries, we've been getting some wonderfully written female protagonists recently. 

    I’ve just started this after hearing many good things about it, only watched episode 1 so far.
