Journey to the Savage Planet is so good.  So good, in fact, that it could give TLoU2 some competition for my personal goty. I'm loving it so far, but I can feel that it's a pretty short game. We will see.

I finished Art of Rally (re-started Dirt Rally) and Kathy Rain (started Whispers of a Machine).

Also played a tiny bit of BF1 and NFS Heat.

I looked it up, it's called Inertial Drift.  Apparently it's not a rally game, but rather an arcade racer.  Martin Robinson, who reviewed it at EG thought very highly of it and also mentionned it in relation to Art of Rally, so that's probably why my confusion stemed from.

I saw a clip of that awhile ago then completely forgot about it! Will check out the demo.

Playing Ghost busters, better and yet worse than I expected. Surprisingly difficult. Can't change difficultly without restarting.

Oh yes, very much so.  There doesn't seem to be many bosses.  I actually haven't encountered anything that seems like a boss.

Ghost busters, I like the whole mechanic for capturing ghosts but it's such a convoluted process. Having to repeat it with endless ghosts just becomes annoying and boring. It feels much better when you can just shoot like a fps.

Does anyone here have a Switch lite?  One way or another I am treating myself to a new game system by Black Friday. Might be a Switch, might be a new PC, might be just a PSVR setup.

The thing that's holding me back with the switch is the Joycons. I hate them. And knowing how many of you have had to get them replaced makes me even less interested. I know I can get a pro controller, but then that starts to put the system into a price range where it's only slightly less expensive than a next-gen system.

So I'm thinking the Lite would be a good compromise. I certainly have no qualms with handheld gaming. All the same, I wanted to know if anyone has direct experience with one and if there are any red flags with the system that I might be unaware of.

I have one and am pretty happy with it.  It makes the Switch look like an oversized, outdated piece of tech.  Some games can't be played in handheld mode however, although they're a small minority.  Mario Party for example demands you hold one joycon, which obviously isn't possible with the Lite, unless you by a seperate one.

On the other hand: the sticks are the same ones as found in the joycon, so they're just as prone to drifting.  My Swith Lite is still ok, but it's only about half a year old.

They're still in perfect working condition, but I believe they're the exact same sticks as used in the Joycon.

Nintendo is quietly offering repairs for joycon drift worldwide, but I've yet to take them up on that.

yeah on the joycons my new pair started crapping out in Splatoon and I realised its not the joycon. For some reason it only happens here downstairs in a very specific room. I think the TV stand frame messes with the signal. I thought my old pair was faulty (the drift was) but the disconnecting and gyro drift is there with the new pair and strangely mostly on Splatoon and nothing else.

Nintendo has been having a sale on Joycons in Japan. I’m hoping that this is a sign that they are getting rid of old stock to replace them with improved Joycons.

Re5 final boss fight is a touch... Ugh. First you pick up an unloaded rocket launcher and have to keep putting it back down to switch weapons. So you can't break the crates to get rockets. Or you give Sheva the launcher and she disappears and fires at random times so you don't have enough time to run up to wesker to inject him. Then there's qte wii like crud on the plane.

Now I have to run around a volcano hard tapping buttons in furious qtes to... Punch, kick and push... a boulder into a volcano. You can see this shit seeping into re5 which eventually led to the car crash that is re6.
