Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]

The Pikmin game in the WiiU Arcade is a pretty fun coop. So is the metroid game there. 3D Mario World is great for Coop as well. [Reply]

IMO, its just wasting money.
Yeah, that's what it sounds like. My tv is 4k but doesn't support HDR. Probably not worth it. If someone comes in and tells me that just the 4k support is a massive difference I might reconsider. [Reply]

I was hesitant at first but now I'm super happy I upgraded....games look amazing, HDR is a sight to behold, and if nothing else I'm glad knowing I've future proofed myself for the foreseeable future. [Reply]

Yeah, I missed the HDR train by like a month. I should've waited to upgrade my tv until the new models rolled out. Probably gonna pass for now. Sounds like that really makes a difference. [Reply]

I have it - and have 4K with HDR.
It's good, but it's not like the jump from standard to 1080 where it blows you away.
Will say this, updates keep adding new tweaks (boost mode came this week for games that came out before the Pro and no patch yet). Most recent update also added support for external hard drive, which is a bonus.
Faster load times too.
I've yet to try out my PSVR with the Pro to see the difference there, but I hear there is some. [Reply]

Once again... I'm a little disappointed.
Let's start with graphics.
They're wonderful. I've been very impressed with the range of view as well. The game is beautiful I have got to admit.
Music: It nearly perfect as well. Very impressive.
Voice/lip synch: This is average at best. I've noticed very general lip synching here so they can dub in other languanges.
Gameplay:
YAWN! While at first it's very impressive and captivating, you slowly realize that this is just another far cry game only more difficult and tedious.
I'm going to play it through because...
Storyline:
Very good. It has me captivated and I'm going to play it until it's beat.
Overall?
7 out of 10
It is above average at 100+ hours of gameplay but it isn't really anything new like I'd hoped.
I'm going to revisit this. It may have not lived up to my expectations but I have got to admit that the story is very good.
Multiple endings and all that jazz. It doesn't do anything new but what it does do is good.
The robot-animals are very impressive.
I'm sticking with my score but I'll reiterate this: if you love farcry, this is your game.
I played it on normal difficulty but I'll try again on difficult soon enough. [Reply]
Too bad the Switch seems lIke it's having a rocky launch, or I'd be all over Breath of the Wild. Seems like that's going to be game of the year easily. [Reply]

Meh, if red dead redemption 2 hits this year, it should beat it. All the good press is very pressured by Nintendo fan boys. It's a good game, (don't get me wrong) but it's not worth purchasing an entire 300+ dollar system over. Especially since you can get it on the Wii U. Nintendo fans are absolutely the worst. Especially the Nintendo/Zelda ****s. Link could be a walking turd on old NES graphics and they'd still get stupid-pissed off if they didn't get a 10/10 rating on their game.
Wait until this fall. The switch's bugs will be worked out and it'll be far cheaper. Nintendo may even do another Ambassador program like they did with the 3DS... of it doesn't sell well enough. [Reply]

I got the switch because it allows a full handheld experience with all of its games. I barely get any time at home to play because of kids but I am on the train for about 2 hours a day and that's perfect gaming time. It was definitely worth it in my situation. The game lineup is obviously lacking but Zelda will last me a good long time and by that point Mario Kart will be out. Once FIFA comes out, assuming it's an ok game, I will play the hell out of that one. [Reply]
