I enjoy the Switch 2, and definitely use it more than my old Switch 1 and it's all due to performance. 60fps with good image quality is what I want from a console and the Switch 2 can deliver that. However, 3rd party software I really have to research before purchasing for the Switch 2 and...
Picked up a copy of Two Point Museum, been awhile since I played this type of game and it's enjoyable. Also plays surprisingly well on a handheld (ROG Ally).
I also grabbed a copy of Demonschool, reminds me of a PS1-era Persona game, and really enjoy the combat in it.
But what has really...
With the Xbox handheld in 2027 and the Helix console in 2028 - I don't know why MS doesn't liquidate their current inventory of Xbox Series hardware. Sell them at a loss, but they'll sell like hotcakes with GTA VI around the corner and give XBox a strong holiday season leading into next year's...
Finished FFT Remastered and it was good; Looking back now and recently playing Tactics Ogre Remastered - I'd say Tactics Ogre is the better game. Mostly due to the 5 unit size limit, it bothered me when I originally played the game and it bothers me now.
The story still holds up well enough -...
With the way component pricing has increased, my interest in a DIY gaming PC build for next gen has dwindled. If Project Helix is a PC (or at least open enough to have Steam and other storefronts), I could see myself getting one to replace my desktop as my main gaming device.
I always grab the Sw2 version when available. Usually the price is similar and the performance upgrades are worth it.
Plus game saves don't always carry over (Square is bad for that), so I'd rather get the upgraded version than face buyers remorse if I want to upgrade later.
Finishing up Final Fantasy Tactics (almost at the Deep Dungeon section) and it's a much better game than the original release. Having Cloud start at your average party level was a nice touch (though I still haven't used him much).
One noteworthy thing about this playthrough is that my ROG Ally...
Probably for the best - Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, and the Mass Effect games were some of my favorites, but felt they've been in a spiral the past few years (decades?).
Glad to see Xbox is still controlling their Xbox OS direction (going by the rumor). The XBOX mode on Windows 11 has been fine for me (really impressed by how quickly its improving), but a dedicated SteamOS-style 'Game Mode' is what I'd be interested in.
But - yeah, that price is deadly...
I considered grabbing one of those Nyxi Hyperion 3 Ultra joycons (regular gamepad sized joycons), but they're pretty pricey. Agreed, though, compared to the PC handhelds, Switch 2 is nowhere near as comfortable.
First thing I did was get myself one of those grip cases for my system. Still not as comfortable as my ROG Ally with a grip (Switch 2's face buttons and analogue sticks are smaller), but it made a world of difference.
I ended up going with a JSAUX grip case (has a magnetic cover which flips...
I like to think OD will be what PT was going to be (or at least along the same lines). With that said, I haven't really been following OD development, just knew that it's a 'horror' title.
