In its revised and patched, updated form, with gyro aiming.
It has its flaws for sure. Some roadblocks, some annoying crap. But once you figure out the way the gameworld works, at its core its a fun game.
I'd 8/10 it.
There seems to be lots of content and I haven't even tried the dlc yet.
You finished the main story?
I'm chipping away at the various missions.I like exploring so I'm not rifling through the campaign.
Since I've upgraded my ship the space sections aren't as bad now. I like finding space objects and I landed in a space station, didn't even realise that was a thing.
This weekend has been all about Oblivion Remastered for me. This morning I went into the audio settings and turned off the music, turned down all of the sound effects, and turned up the ambiance sounds to max. The sounds of nature are so good in this game. Shame there's no fishing mini game in it.
Played some Little Nightmares II and a bit of Hades this weekend. Also watched WWE’s WrestlePalooza which was their debut on the ESPN+ streaming service. Bad name and was a very mediocre show.
Now I need a holographic chessboard game.
I struggled to find anything on the Switch 2 to play until Borderlands 4 and SMG2 arrive. So I redownloaded Star Wars Jedi Survivor on my Series S. Its the first time I've played on the Xbox since May.
I love that you can cheat in it.
Story's better than the main game.
No Man's Sky is cheap when on sale, comes with all the recent dlc.
I just sold Ace Prosecuter DS so might pick something up.
I only played the main game.
I was reading about possible Borderlands 4 performance issues on the Switch 2. However it seems to have issues on all consoles. I've read that its only 30fps where it is 60 on other consoles but not consistently so. I think I will stick with getting the Switch 2 version because Gearbox is making it specifically for that console rather than porting it. I'm not expecting any ray tracing or other lighting effects and I am ok without it.
I hope BL4 on Switch2 will perform reasonably, because it's the only place I'll be able to play it. To be fair, I don't feel the need to play it myself, but I've been playing BL2 with my son and he's stoked to play the new one too.
So what do you guys think? Is $35-40 something a piece to expensive for the rerelease (not remake) of 2 of the finest videogames ever made?
I made the argument in the comments that the real issue is that we as gamers expect all games to sharply drop in price mere weeks after release, which has skewed our value perception and is not beneficial to the industry. Opinions are divided.
Considering Galaxy 2 was rereleased on the Wii U for $10, yeah, feels a little too expensive. Of course, the whole Prime Trilogy was $10 as well.
Edit: The Galaxy games even lost some of their textures for the upcoming release.
My local Walmart has had Switch 2 systems available for weeks now. It is so strange to see a new console in stock this soon.
If I'd never played either of those Galaxy games, I'd probably think it was a great deal. As someone who has played them, they're overpriced.
You can also buy info from merchants and sell it to the factions to increase your reputation with them.
I also did my first death trooper wanted mission. You have to first escape the close by enemies. Then what threw me off is the radio chatter as if you're still being chased, you're not.
So you can carefully approach the death trooper camp, use nix to steal a key card. Quite fun.
Also just by chance learned you can run and gun with motion aiming if you hold down the fire button.
Changes the game, not just ADS now.
Don't like the sniper rifle you have to charge though.
Game continues to impress.
Isn't it releasing later in October?
They are/were two of the greatest games ever made and in 4k on Switch 2. So I wouldn't say its unreasonable BUT for me I already have Galaxy 1 on switch. My real issue is that when you buy them separately they aren't half the asking price of both bundled. Seems ridiculous, price gouging.Skyward sword Switch was a full price game, think it was on Wii U too for cheap.
Any opinions on the other part of my post?
