  1. General Switch Discussion

    For me it is a lack of time. My daily routine involves waking up at 5:30, gym then work. I am a lawyer so it is pretty long hours and I often work in the evening. For example I had a trial to prepare for last Friday and literally spent the evenings beforehand preparing. I am also currently studying a masters via distance learning. Being married also takes up a lot of time and together with spending time with friends and also networking for work. It all results in less time for hobbies. I have not fell out of love for gaming at all. I dedicate the majority of my free time to it. Disappointingly, I no longer have a lot of that free time. I prioritise the little free time I do have to gaming. 5 years ago - I was single and barely started my career. I had a lot more free time which meant gaming every single day. The lack of free time means that I am behind on current gaming. I am playing Horizon at the minute together with some Cities: Skylines. I could post in the Horizon thread but whats the point? People have moved on. I think that is partly the problem. If I am not playing a game on release then obviously I can't talk about it as im not playing it. When I do eventually play it the discussion had finished months ago. The issue is that we are all older and i'd say there is a large portion of the forum's user base just do not have the time to play the todays games upon release. I honestly do not think that it is people not making time or moving on from gaming rather its that people (or more specifically, I) no longer have the time I did before to game.
  2. Looking back at Pokémon spinoffs

    I really enjoyed both Pokemon Snap and Pokemon TCG. Particularly with TCG, as at my school I didn't know anyone who played it with the actual cards. Instead kids just collected them. As a result, I had no idea how to play. The gameboy game taught me how and gave me the experience to play which was great. I wish for an updated game.
  3. Gamecube

    Gamecube by far is my favourite console. I have so many good memories playing it when entering my teens. Playing SA2: Battle, Monkey Ball, Star Wars, Sunshine, Wind Waker, FZero GX, Prime and Eternal Darkness were all just amazing at the time. The quality was great and it was all the better that I had the time to play them all too.
  4. General Switch Discussion

    An upgrade? Console has been barely out 18 months.
  5. Nintendo Switch Online: NES

    I was looking forward to playing SMB3 again. Such a great game! I love how the NES Netflix works. Works really well. I have also being trying the other games out that I have never played before. The service almost encourages you to do so.
  6. Kingdom Hearts 3

    I think I played one of the games on the DS or 3DS (cannot remember) and didn't get on with it. I'm tempted to give the series another go. Where do I start?
  7. Shadow of the Tomb Raider ( 14th Sept 2018 )

    I actually really enjoyed Rise and ended up platinuming it. This looks a bit meh. I've now got more games I want to play than I have time for so its likely I will only pick it up once heavily discounted.
  8. Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition HD

    I'll not be picking this up. FFXV was painfully average (at best). I don't think I could stomach playing the game again.
  9. Nintendo Switch paid online coming 2018

    I'll be buying this primarily for the cloud saves and NES games. I lost all of my data on the Wii U once so I don't want to take the risk. Also, I want SMB3 on my Switch
  10. Nintendo (re)Direct(ed) (13/09 11pm UK)

    A fantastic direct! One of the best that has ever been shown. So much to look forward to.
  11. Sega Ages (Summer M2)

    I'm looking forward to Sonic 1 if im being honest. I know its a really old game but it would be good to have the entire collection on Switch one day.
  12. Indie Games

    I'm tempted by Prison Architect. Looking for a building/managing sim on Switch. Without a sim city clone etc this may have to do.
  13. Diablo III coming to Switch in 2018

    I don't know much about the series. Is it a game best played with online peeps. Are we going to get some NE gaming together?
  14. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

    I've decided to skip this. It has released too close after World for me. Also, ive only put 70hrs into that game and have so much more to do.
  15. I feel exactly the same. I couldn't careless about multiplayer Zelda. I want them to reuse the BOTW assets and get a new game out sooner rather than later
  16. General Switch Discussion

    I'll 100% get it and the more reason I dont have to ever switch on the Wii U again. I want the HD Zeldas ported now.
  17. PlayStation/Xbox/PC Bargains

    Everyone buy this. One of the best FPS campaign I have ever played. Its criminal the game is only worth a fiver.
  18. What terrified you as a child?

    The Demon Headmaster! Petrified me, that show.
  19. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    I have finished this game twice, platinumed it and completed the expansions. I absolutely loved it and so tempted to play it again.
  20. The Second Half of 2018 Switch Lineup

    I've been buying the few Wii U ports that are present with the intention I don't have to switch on that shitty console ever again. Those that are complaining about the ports - they're not that many. Every other console has ports of its games from previous generations. Seems to be the done thing now. It has always been the case too. I remember playing Sonic Jam on the Saturn (the games contained ports of the Mega Drive Sonic games). Also, it is making me smile people not interested in Switch as it has games that the other systems have. Yes, it has both the excellent 1st party quality that it expected together with 3rd party games. I remember last generation the complaints about a lack of games for Wii U.
  21. Project Octopath Traveller

    This discussion of the game is tempting me to scrap the backlog and buy this. It sounds so so good. I have Xenoblade yet to play though!
  22. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Nah, do New Game +. I did and fully enjoyed it.
  23. Sega Ages (Summer M2)

    I'll definitely be buying Sonic 1. Love some Mega Drive sonic. Switch is the perfect fit.
  24. Horizon: Zero Dawn

    My copy is still in its wrapper! There has been so much quality it has been difficult to get through everything. I'm playing through God of War at the minute.
  25. Cyberpunk 2077 (10th December 2020)

    I don't care if it is 1st or 3rd person. I just want the game! Its looking so good.
