Not feeling specalists tbh

Trailer looks like it was directed by Michael Bay's teenage son.

The ideal choice for the target audience no?

Most important take away from the trailer

No cross play between console generations is a bit rubbish.

Better than it being held back by old tech though imo.

With you on this.

Yeah, it's just a difficult cross over time. Maybe by autumn the next gen will be more easily Accessible so not a problem, just a bit of a shame as is imo.

Beware - Metro Exodus is currently on HUGE sale on Playstation Store (bigger discount for PS+ users).

£15.89 including both DLCs.

Reason I bought it is that it's getting free PS5 upgrade to 4k with 60FPS and raytracing.
Looks and sounds brilliant.

There are actually lots of really good games with double discounts.

FF7 Remake Intergrade is out today

Nice one!

Bought myself a switch (finally) any must have games?
Feeling more RPG stuff recently than FPS. Although switch doesn't seem to have many in the latter camp anyhow.

BOTW, Odyssey, MK8... Enjoy!

Zelda BotW always gets recommended (I've still not managed to pick it up though)

Skyrim is always a good time sink

Dark Souls Remastered (because I always recommend it)

Octopath Traveller, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chrinicles…

Just a few of the more famous rpg ones.

BOTW BOTW BOTW

Stardew Valley?

Yep, stardew.

I don't have many games for Switch but Stardew gets the most hours by a long shot, even after playing on PC, Android and iOS.

I also have:
Alien Isolation (good but not as beautiful as the PC obvs)
BotW (find it a real challenge to navigate / get one-shotted by mobs / weapons break etc. I know the idea is that there are lots of ways to skin a cat but considering my only other Zelda experience is Ocarina of Time I've found this very challenging to get stuck into).
Civ... maybe 5 or 6? (Play on anything larger than a medium size map and expect very very slow performance mid-game and beyond. End game I'm hanging on several minutes for NPC turns.

Looking at Witcher 3 / Skyrim next. I do like the portability / battery life / physicality but not the games available.

been grinding apex ranked recently (because why not.) quality of your teammates is VERY variable (much like pubs I guess). most people tend to play seriously though which is a nice change of pace. up to gold III now, I think, if anyone wants to play

I started Apex...

Just picked it up after really enjoying it on Xbox albeit for not long enough!

Will I enjoy BOTW if I've not played any Zelda before?

Elden ring! Coming in Jan : https://mobile.twitter.com/ELDENRING/status/1403075319448363010

Thank fuck for that! Was genuinely getting concerned it would be cancelled after such a long period of silence.

Will I enjoy BOTW if I've not played any Zelda before?

I'd say so, I played a little bit of Link to the Past but was never really all that into the series. Got a Switch specifically to play BotW and honestly if that was the only game I owned for it, I'd still consider it worth buying a Switch for
