Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted October 15, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2019 Google will get bored of Stadia in 2 years and can it. It's too far out of the core safety zone. Might work better in the States in Google Fi areas but they'll inevitably shut it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2019 I can't fathom not liking Horizon. It's loads of fun. It's like going out for a walk in the country but in your car, surely that's right up your street Ralphy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lying in bed playing it this morning and I just had that "ten more minutes" mentality and before I knew it I was running late for work. Such a lovely, addictive game. Completed it mate. 10 hours of game time which is perfect for me. Although the ending came out of nowhere and there was no real 'threat' to speak of, just mining for stuff was immensely satisfying. I'll be giving number two a go once I finish up with Kill Zone. I'm trying to get into Don't Starve as well but I'm really struggling with that one, as much as I want to like it.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted October 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 16, 2019 I have bought the kids a switch for Christmas because my son is obsessed with Mario Kart GP in the arcades. So bought Mario Kart 8, but want to buy myself something. Super Mario Odyssey or Zelda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The two games are incomparable. Odyssey is excellent but it depends if you want a brilliant 3d platformer or 100 hours of a brilliant action rpg. For what its worth I got them both at the same time and have put 170+ hours in to Zelda but still haven't finished Odyssey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like strategy RPGs, Fire Emblem is worth considering. The storyline is pretty strong, the gameplay is great and there’s a lot of replay value too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried Zelda may be too big which is why I was leaning towards the plumber.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted October 16, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 16, 2019 I'm at the final stage of Zelda and probably never going to finish it. You can keep playing it forever. There's so much to do, it doesn't sound like it will gel with you Soapy. It is brilliant, but those first few hours are unforgiving for a Zelda game. I've been playing Arkham Knight relentlessly this week. Rocksteady are just the ultimate polishing studio. Layers and layers of incredible detail. Having been prewarned of the Batmobile stuff, I grimaced going into it but I've found it OK. The Joker hallucinations are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite liked the batmobile, not sure what the negative fuss was about. Good game, but just a bit too open off the bat for me. Our Switch is due back from repair any day now (fuckers charged me for repair- the charging port was damaged so they refused to cover it under warranty) and the second it's back I'm getting my goose on. I can't wait to bully some speccy kid with my perpetual honking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're landlocked until you finish the ACE Chemicals branch, and even then you're really limited in what you can do as you're underpowered (unless you're that confident with U.P. hand-to-hand fights for the checkpoint / tower subquests) With Arkham City, by contrast, it's a smaller worldmap but you can get at least 30% of the trophies the moment you get the batsuit. No beef-gate to stop you from finding out Joker is even in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You literally could ride straight up to the final boss and face them immediately, thought it would obviously be far, far harder than if you were to do some of the build up quests. There are loads of things to do in Zelda and you can pretty much just keep playing it until you’re bored, but almost everything is option (although some of it is optional with an asterisk - not doing it makes the final boss harder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
