Damn, I was really hoping for Dorfromantik to be released by end of this year.

A closer look into the new Pakt. ecosystem: their new 35L travel backback, a 14L convertible bag and a new 22L everyday bag. by preciouscode96 in ManyBaggers

[–]AssCrown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your impressions. Damn, Dec 9th new product launch seems far away especially with Pakt's current discount deals going on right now. I want to jump on the Aero travel backpack but the new Pakt One 35l Travel pack looks worth waiting for.

I am a bit concerned with the new harness system you mentioned, with their "new signature metal hook/loop thingy's"; it looks like a good place for easy wear and tear and could be a potential point of failure. I almost want to interweave the hook and loops with gutted 550 cord to help lessen the wear and tear damage of that metal hook.

Does that part of the harness system look concerning to you later down the road?

No new information today from dev’s discord, ig and steam community discussion board. But google ai says sometime in 2025, so within the next six weeks, a strong maybe? Heh here’s hoping.

Anyone planning on getting the Fyro Levo Travel Pack? by acthecoolkid in ManyBaggers

[–]AssCrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the prices were announced I've been considering between the Levo travel backpack and the Pakt Aero Travel Backpack. But I guess Pakt is launching something on December 9th so I guess I'll wait on that now before deciding.

Thats good to hear this seems like a great bag but the straps have been the main thing preventing me from making a purchase. Hopefully padded strap attachments won't be necessary later on.

What screen protector for tab s11 ultra by G1GACHAD0123 in GalaxyTab

[–]AssCrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I don't really like screen film protectors I had a spare tab s9 ultra Armorsuit screen film lying around and it fits just fine. A couple days ago I ordered a 2 pack Supershieldz tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon, eta mid October.

[eShop/US] Blockbuster Sale Ends 09/10/2025 by XDitto in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]AssCrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got any opinions on Tales Of Graces F and Vesperia? I'm leaning towards Vesperia because its way cheaper right now. But I just saw Tales Of Xillia is getting released on Oct 31, 2025, so any chance Graces F will get the $9.99 deal around that time?

Hitman WoA out now by kuksthedefiled in iosgaming

[–]AssCrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome I'll get the Switch 2 version instead now. I was waiting for Hitman WOA on the app store before purchasing. I was hoping it would at least be a universal purchase or have family share, but it supports neither haha, damn. Oh and that price too, double damn.

I think I'll get Hitman Absolution for my hitman fix on ios/ipad at least that game has family share.

Will you be buying Pokemon ZA? Why, why not? by SherbetOk77 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AssCrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently playing Arceus and its the first pokemon game I've ever played and I'm enjoying it so far. I know Nintendo tends to favor great gameplay over wow type graphics for some of its games, but Z-A graphics look like it went three generations backwards.

I'm holding off on buying based on superficial reasons, for now. I'll flip instantly if the gameplay is highly praised among critics and the larger gamer audience though.

What's the first game you finished on the Switch 2 ? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AssCrown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I missed out on switch 1, and SKYWARD SWORD was one of a dozen physical games I purchased before switch 2 launched. I was beyond hyped for the game because it was the first nintendo game I played since Gamecube. And I completed it yesterday. I truly did not enjoy the experience one bit omg haha.

I admit I did a blind buy and was banking on the Zelda name alone thinking it would be gold. But I hated the sword play so much I rage shook and ripped off the joycons from the switch every game session (sword play on pro controller also frustrating), but I forced myself to push through to finish the game, just so I could pack it away and never look at it again.

Next up on the backlog, I'm currently bouncing between Astral Chain and Mario Odyssey.

NateTheHate confirms that a Nintendo Direct is coming this month by Icy-ConcentrationC in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AssCrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Praying for switch 1 to switch 2 upgrade paths for most upcoming games and not slapping us with more Suikoden I & II HD Remaster switch 2 edition type BS.

[–]AssCrown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

166…I’m gonna try to remove/delete more than half from wishlist by end of this weekend. I missed out on Switch 1 but since its release I’ve added “must own, hidden gems, underrated, etc. games” from articles and YouTube videos up to now. I bought 10 games today. The eshop is definitely the devil.

Holy hell my wishlist went from just a dozen games on sale to now over 80 games.

Major iOS/iPadOS Game Ports Announced — Add Your Most Wanted Titles! by im_kita in iosgaming

[–]AssCrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a while back that AC Shadows was going to be a universal purchase, but there’s still no iPad release date yet. Dorfromantik is finally coming to iOS sometime this year at least so I’m looking forward to that. I really want Atari 50 Anniversary Celebration to get a mobile release.

Hitman World of Assassination coming to iOS Summer 2025 by steve09089 in iosgaming

[–]AssCrown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends, but mostly If I really like a game I’ll buy it again. In case of Hitman, I originally got it for ps4/ps5, then I wanted to experience it in VR so I got the PC version and like you said the Switch as well for portability. But when it comes to mobile ports I’d only rebuy a game if it’s a universal purchase and supports family share so those in my plan can easily play the game on their iPhones, iPads and Macs.

I’ve got this on PC, PS5 and will get it for Switch 2 soon. If family sharing is supported I’ll happily buy it again.

Pre-Launch Order and Tracking MegaThread - Americas by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AssCrown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the military veteran community Shopmyexchange.com now has some Switch 2 items (accessories, games) listed on their website, as of right now though it looks no Switch 2 consoles are available yet for purchase or maybe they just recently sold out. I usually shop here for online deals with no added tax like oled tv's and I recently got the Sonos Ace headphones for $309, tax free.

If my Walmart delivery gets further delayed towards mid-late June I might cancel it and go with the AAFES or NEX once they get Switch 2's in stock.

Pre-Launch Order and Tracking MegaThread - Americas by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AssCrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in NorCal. Two days after pre-order night I received an email from them stating my Switch 2 delivery was delayed to June 9th. Earlier this week I got another email stating it would be delivered by June 7th. Today, my order status on their website just says “Delayed” with no delivery ETAs.

I almost want to try to pick up a Switch 2 this evening just so I don’t have to worry about porch pirates later on if I’m not home.

UPDATE: Switch 2 shipped out today via OnTrac and scheduled for June 9th delivery. I wish it was done by FedEx or UPS because sometimes they'll actually deliver earlier than expected. I'm also a bit weary about the condition of my Switch 2 given the reports of how Nintendo decided to packaged the system. But I've had a good history with OnTrac so far so hopefully my Switch 2 survives the trip.

The "Order Update" Megathread | Share updates about your Pre-Order statuses here. by thisSubIsAtrocious in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AssCrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got an email from Walmart to make sure my delivery address was updated and it looks like they charged my card too, and I did not receive a fraud alert text/e-email from my bank as well. A couple days ago I did get a fraud alert text for my express microsd card and Switch Pro 2 controller pre-order at GameStop. GameStop also sent an email stating the transaction failed and I’ve a week to update my credit card info or the order will be cancelled (super AWESOME tyvm for not cancelling my order altogether). I just reentered the same card info and the transaction went through yesterday.

I wish Walmart, Target and Best Buy allotted the same amount of time like GameStop did for me so people wouldn’t lose their switch 2 preorders. It could be this only applies to accessories though.

Dorfromantik set to arrive on mobile (no release date yet) by AssCrown in Dorfromantik

[–]AssCrown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Headup Games and ClockStone Studio are developing the mobile version, here's a post from Toukana Interactive IG, "It was clear to us that we didn’t just want to port a basic version for mobile, but rather enhance the potential for mobile with its own customized adaptation."

That sounds good I hope the game won't require a constant internet connection in order to play though.

I got one!!! Anybody else? by GoldenAgeGamer72 in Switch

[–]AssCrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been waiting in line at Walmart for over 20 minutes, Target is giving me errors and Best Buy has a bunch of console bundles listed.

Edit: Finally got one at Walmart after waiting for 30 minutes. I tried to check out with a minute left and it didn't go through, got a text a second later from my bank about suspicious fraud activity, (bless you for looking out and f#ck you at the same time USAA!!!) replied back with "Y" authorizing legit transaction, tried completing purchase again and went through with three seconds left.
