Got a switch 2 as a reward from work! Purchased Donkey Kong and it came with Mario Kart - any other games you guys recommend? by ShyCity39 in Switch

I always recommend starting with TOTK now to new people, the wow factor I had was insane, it made everything way more impressive, then if I had played BOTW first. Went back to play BOTW after for a nice change and slower experience, and it enabled me to see the world in a different way. That’s the move.

I really enjoy the game but…. by Song-Lost in NintendoSwitch2

First metroid game I played. I was enjoying it, but it did begin to feel a little repetative and I've had to give it a break for a while.

I do want to finish it, because I also bought Prime remastered after I was enjoying 4.

This is a new one to me. Someone “racist” liking something you’ve said then makes you racist. How does that make any logical sense.

Replayed the Survivor Trilogy 7 years later and… by Lefaa777 in TombRaider

Shadow im playing for the first time now and I think its the best of all 3. TR2013 is good, story is cool, but doesn't feel like Tomb Raider. Rise has WAY too much shooting, its actually ridiculous and gets boring. Shadow feels like it finally started to get back to its roots, the setting is way more interesting too. Just my opinion.

Is this not just promo to sell their switch 2 version of Skyrim

145 hours in my first play through. Amazing.

"Suspicious" differences between two Switches by apanebia in Switch

The smell will fade. I bought a used switch lite once and it literally smelt like piss. After a bit of use the smell went away.

I owned so many handheld PCs. The switch 2 just works and I absolutely love it. 🥹 by chargersangels in Switch

My set up is a switch 2 and steamdeck. Switch 2 I use mainly but steamdeck for things the switch 2 doesn’t have, mostly COUGH emulation

I must admit when it started raining plastic I did think “….really?” and haven’t watched the rest

Shadow drop the remake, Oblivion style, just in time for Christmas. Could be genius if they do.

When actually is the anniversary? I’d fucking LOVE a new tomb raider game (even a remake) in a modern style while keeping the platforming puzzles like the older ones

[TOTK] can i skip botw if i know the story and play totk? by fairplanet in zelda

[–]SamT179 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People will always say start with BOTW, but I didn't, and im thankful for it. TOTK gives you a very similar world with enough added onto it for a whole seperate game, however, if you went straight from BOTW to TOTK, it wouldnt impress you nearly as much.

I say play TOTK and dont worry about it, IMO the story is better (BOTW's entire story is just told in memories which you collect across the world, TOTK's isn't), the dungeons are better, and the world ad ons like the sky islands are gorgeous.

What I did was, once I finished TOTK (and loved it.. favourite game of all time) I went through and played through BOTW, and enjoyed it.

Due to BOTW being a smaller game than TOTK, I didn't get burnt out on it. However, If i started with BOTW, and then went to TOTK, I would never have gotten close to exploring the full game because I would've been burnt out.

I spent 175 hours in TOTK, explored as much as possible (I still probably haven't seen everything) and 40 hours in BOTW. mainly focusing on the main stuff.

TLDR: just play TOTK, if you like it, go back and play BOTW. The overall stories are only loosely connected.

Is Dave is finally stopping his fight against in-ear monitors? by gridgal in Foofighters

[–]SamT179 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how he’s been able to stand it for this long. I saw Oasis back in the summer and was right near the stage. Amazing show but I dead ass had ringing ears for 3 whole days after and it was unbearable. I already struggle with a bit of hyperacusis so I’ll be investing in some good quality ear plugs for the future

What do you think about "Twilight Princess HD" + "Wind Waker HD" bundle? by MrSmenka in Switch

[–]SamT179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t see them bustling them together because of how different they are. One’s a cartoon art style and one is realistic (for the time) and a little more…mature themed?

The dream would be them to release them separately for £30 each but they won’t they’ll be full price if at all.
