My two favorites are XII and IX. I revisited X with the remaster, and couldn't get past how godawful the emo-dialogue was to give it a proper re-play.
Just bust through the story asap and get back to the open world good stuff. There is a LOT to do. Come to think of it, I still need to catch a few rare carp...
Yeah, that's what I need to do - I got sucked back into Diablo 3 a couple weeks ago and have been rolling with a new character - need to put that on hold and get back to XV.

I finished The Last Guardian a few days ago. drymounting loved the whole thing.
It’s amazing. Knew Team ICO would deliver.

Yes the camera and controls can be a little frustrating, and commanding Trico to do certain things can take a while, but it doesn’t take anything away from the experience.
My girlfriend watched me play the final hour or so and she cried for a good portion of it.

There are moments in the game that can only be experienced in that game. Can’t recall any other game that has had me so attached to its characters.

Anyone watch the bat fudge bonkers Nintendo presentation last night? Or this equally awkward Treehouse stream going on right now?

I fast forwarded through like 70% of it, so I probably missed all the weird stuff in between trailers. I might be sold on a switch after that Zelda trailer.

I didn't watch it but heard it was pretty bad. Something about an interpreter?

Overall I find the Switch pretty lacking. This is going to be the first Nintendo console release I'm sitting out of in a long time.

Yeah it had some major bumps throughout, and was super cheesy a few times.

But still...ZELDA HD GAME GOTTA GET IT NOW

(honestly, I'd be buying the console if this was the ONLY game it ran)

Its a Nintendo system, so of course I will buy it. Mario looks solid as well.

Still can't get over the outfits the presenters were wearing...that one guy looked like he was wearing his Dad's Easter Sunday suit.

Just buy the WiiU version :lol:

But I felt pretty burned on the WiiU, and this is looking like exactly the same thing. Only a handful of great first party games and then it collects dust forever. As much as I want to play the new Zelda and Mario games I'm just going to have to say no until there's a price drop or something. I feel like they're totally going to blunder their new online service too.

Battlefield 1 has made sniping fun again. Having to account for lead, drop, distance, etc. is so rewarding.

Def going to buy the Switch. Zelda trailer moved me last night, haven't been that blown away by a trailer since the E3 2015 MGSV trailer. Basically only played Smash and Mario Kart on my Wii U, although I also replayed Earthbound on the Virtual Console. I don't regret buying the console at all, still totally worth it.

Same. I want every Zelda, Super Mario, Metroid, and F-Zero game. Sure wish they'd continue those last two. There's a racing game that looks very F-Zero-esque, but it's not the real thing. Really surprised there weren't any Metroid games for the Wii U.

Geez, that Zelda trailer is beautiful. And the Mario one looks pretty good too.

As someone who has multiple 200 dollar prints in a flat file, I can be ok with a game system I turn on ever 30/90 days for 3 weeks.
