Nintendo Switch 2 w/ Mario Kart World bundle

Did not expect to casually check the app for some local stores this morning and find one that actually had any Switch 2s still available but surprisingly my local Target had several so behold my impulse purchase that I really had no intention of trying to buy day one 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😆

Here’s an unpopular opinion:

Other than the OST (which was 🔥) Undertale is overhyped. 👀🫣

I wanna try something...

Please REPOST if Nintendeal ever helped you score a good deal on a video game

Chained echoes cover art

After bouncing pretty quickly off Bravely Default II and the two Ori games I think I’ve found a game that will hold my attention. And that game is…. Chained Echoes!

I have spent about 5 hours with Bravely Default II so far (not yet out of the prologue) and I feel so blah about it. Does it get better? This is my first time playing a Bravely Default game and everything feels really generic and poorly optimized for the Switch.

First game of 2025 completed!

✅ Final Fantasy XVI

To put it simply, I really enjoyed my 40 hours with this game. It’s a must play if you are a fan of the series!

9/10

That’s a hot take from everything I’ve heard about the game (I’ve yet to pick it up) but kudos to you for trying it AND making the decision to drop which I know can be a challenge for gamers. It really is as simple as play what brings you joy and keeps you wanting to come back the next day for more!

Maybe it’s recency bias speaking but FFXVI’s Cid may have surpassed FFVII’s Cid as my favorite in the series 👀 👀

Quit now lol

Picture of Sony advertising suicide squad kill the justice league for $99.99 on PS5 welcome page

Sony is seriously trying to advertise Suicide Squad for $100 literally days before giving it away for free with PS Plus??? 🤯. I guess the saying is there’s a sucker born every minute but my god most people won’t even touch this game if you paid them to. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sooo basically all of them? 😉 I love the mainline games even though to this day I am still dumbfounded by most of the overall story 😆

You call THAT winter?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Final Fantasy XVI !

All the above!

I think I can support this. I feel more satisfied with just a few onion rings than I do with 2 or 3 times the amount fries.

Final fantasy XVI ps5 start screen

After a couple nights of palette cleansing playing some classic Mega Man games I think I’m ready to jump into my next adventure. Let’s do this!

Nothing special about my living room and big screen TV so I’ll refrain from sharing as well 😂

No kinda sorta about it! It’s what really got me into the JRPG genre and for that I’ll be forever grateful!

🇺🇸

Forget the haters! I enjoy seeing peoples setups even though I personally have no interest in gaming on a PC/desk setup and prefer a big screen TV and a comfy couch or recliner primarily because I sit at a desk in front of a PC for most the day for my job and want a different atmosphere for gaming.

Played the OG Mega Man from the legacy collection last night and damn if I had played this game as a kid I would’ve rage quit so many times! The rewind feature was a godsend. I love games that have this. It allows me to enjoy tougher games without as much of the stress.

Just about anything FF IX related gets a like from me!

This is definitely me

To piggyback off my last post here are the games in 2024 that I started but ultimately abandoned. TBD if I return to any of them in the future.

🙈 Deathloop
🙈 Elden Ring
🙈 Grandia HD
🙈 Hades
🙈 Honkai: Star Rail
🙈 Mass Effect
🙈 Red Dead Redemption 2
🙈 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge

Thanks! Old me would try to force my way through it but current me has already set it aside for now but yeah I just feel a little disappointed that I don’t like it as much as everyone else seems to so it’s like a sense of what am I missing?! Lol

… clear that sections boss I feel that section should be considered cleared and future runs should start at the furthest section yet to be cleared. Or at minimum provide an option to do that maybe as part of God Mode. I enjoyed the art style and the gameplay itself, just not the endless loop 😞

Hades cover art

Am I the only one who feels disappointed when a critically acclaimed game doesn’t click with you? I tried Hades and running through the same levels over and over just got stale fast. I could be on board with having to run through each “section” from the beginning but once I …

🎮 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim ✅

Sci-fi story is bold but enjoyable. As my first exposure to Vanillaware's graphical style I was impressed. Battle section is repetitive and I would gladly skip it altogether if I could just to keep focus on the story. Overall worth the approx. 30 hours runtime.

7/10

I’m in your same boat minus the religion part and the nagging from parents but it is definitely hard to meet new people at my age. I enjoy a lot of perks being single and able to just do my own thing but also feel that I wish I had that someone special in my life.

Actually beat or played? Some games can’t be “beat” and others I started but abandoned after a while. I think I’m at like 33 played this year.
