Been playing sekiro. Gotta say this game is definitely tougher than fromsoft's other games like dark souls and bloodborne but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.

Nice.
That was quick. I'm guessing they were making 2 and 3 at the same time.

Probably. The originals used a lot of the same assets so it'd only make since for the REmakes to do the same.

Guess it's a good thing I've never cared about Final Fantasy then.

I got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas so I'm FINALLY starting to play Breath of the Wild.
And holy shit, all the "Best Zelda game ever" hyperbole doesn't do it justice. This game is an absolute masterpiece.

I've only been playing for a week and I'm less than halfway through the story, but I think Breath of the Wild might be the best-designed game I've ever played. Practically every single element is just pure bliss.

Death Stranding is actually pretty fun, despite it being a game almost solely focused on fetch quests. It's because Death Stranding focuses on the act of being a courier, making the gameplay deep and engaging, whereas other open world games only feature them as a sort of an afterthought. And even though the story, characters, and writing is as weird and silly as you'd expect from Kojima, it's really good world-building and I'm having a lot of fun delving into it. Except for the emails. I hate having to read blocks of tiny text in a video game. It's stupid.

I saw something about people hooking it up to treadmills and getting a workout while playing. I guess it beats Peloton screaming at you.

Ha, I saw that too!
A friend of mine came over and checked it out for fifteen minutes. His response was, "So, it's just a lot of walking?"
It's one of those things you just have to try lol
I just remembered, though: one of my favorite things about it is the way it utilizes online play. No players share the same world, but they are able to build structures that will appear in each other's worlds. The idea is that you're reconstructing America's infrastructure after the apocalyptic Death Stranding event, so there's no roads, vehicles, bridges, charging stations (for the electric vehicles you get later) at the beginning of the game. Eventually you unlock the ability to build more and more advanced structures like these to help in your travels back and forth across the country. When you or other players build these things, they appear in your world the next time you log on. So, even if you don't have enough resources to complete this really crucial safehouse in a certain area, the next time you turn on the game, some other player might have completed it for you. It really creates a sense of settling the wilds with other settlers and helps appreciate all the infrastructure we have today, which I think is what Kojima was going for. Finally being able to ride a motorcycle across a freeway over formerly inaccessible terrain is an awesome feeling!

Snagged a Switch the other day and a couple games. Can tell Witcher 3’s graphics are scaled back but couldnt refind it on Xbox 1 and love it enough that its not too big of a deal.

Get Breath of the Wild if you haven't yet. Whether you're a Zelda fan or not, GET THIS GAME. I've been hooked on it since Christmas and I think it might be the best game I've ever played. Also shell out for a Pro controller because the default ones that detach from the console kinda suck for playing on a TV. The Pro controller has the same button layout, but it's bigger and more comfortable in your hands.

I’ll grab Zelda soon, you're not the only one saying how great of a game it is.

Definitely get the Pro. They're not cheap (around $70 I think) but there might be a sale somewhere.
I've had my Switch since Christmas and 99% of the time I've played it on my TV, so the first accessory I bought was the charging dock for the Joy-cons. It's the same dock that comes with the system except you plug it into the system to charge the controllers. After a day or so with that thing I realized I didn't like the Joy-cons at all so I exchanged the charge dock for the Pro controller.
AND GET ZELDA.

Never played a Final Fantasy game before but after playing the FF7 Remake demo I may have to pick it up.

Do it! It's a great story that you'll be able to enjoy now that it's been updated with a more modern and fun combat system. It's amazing how many little details they kept in the remake. Even the order in which the characters take turns hacking the doors is the same as the original and that's such an inconsequential detail.

That is pretty awesome. 14 year old me would have been all over this game. I love the original costume!

Resident evil 3 demo coming Thursday.
It's supposedly a sizeable chunk of the game.

Just played through the RE 3 demo early by "moving" to NZ.
Wow wow wow. When nemesis showed up he was leaping around and clinging to walls and shit, it was nuts.
Plus now he can infect normal zombies and they'll shoot out these tendril things at you if you get close.
They managed to somehow improve the graphics even more since RE 2 and the HDR looks incredible now, it was kinda shitty in RE 2.

I thought that's why they did that. But you'll have to get a real answer from him.

Ah, I never knew that. I did not think I had posted more than you, frin.
Anyway, RE3 demo is awesome. Hope I live to get the real game.
