Slumber Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) don't get that weird fire emblem game, that game's for nerds Fire Emblem aside, Smash, Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey are the big no-brainers. Out now: If you're into JRPGs, Ys VIII is a solid action JRPG, and Octopath Traveler is a good old-school JRPG. I'm not a big fan of the Xenoblade, but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 seems pretty well liked for people who do dig that series. The Mana Collection is also a good set of JRPGs, though $40 is a bit steep for 3 25+ year old games. Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2 are addictive and engrossing time wasters. Fire Emblem Warriors is also a solid time wasting spinoff of a big franchise, coming from somebody who doesn't typically like Musou games. Bayonetta 1 and 2 are fun action games for a system that didn't get Devil May Cry 5. Splatoon 2 is apparently pretty good, though I don't have much experience with the series. Coming soon: Astral Chain is coming out in a week and a half for more Platinum action goodness. Daemon X Machina is an Armored Core-esque mech game that's 4 weeks away. The demo was good, and the devs seem pretty committed to making it a great, accessible mech game. Dragon Quest XI is coming out for the Switch next month, too. It's already a great JRPG, and the Switch version is looking like the definitive version. Link's Awakening is a classic Zelda that's being remade. Comes out next month, in between Daemon X Machina and DQXI. Luigi's Mansion 3 comes out on Halloween, and is going back to the LM1 style of gameplay. Looks fun. Langrisser 1 and 2 are also being remade for the Switch and come out early next year as a bundle. Conclusion: The Switch has too many games.

Rapier Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It's ok, I got(???????????) a new job and I'm studying at night and yet I bought Three Houses and a Switch. ... I guess recommending Three Houses is a given. Otherwise, wait for Friends of Mineral Town Remake and Rune Factory 5, if they're your type of games.

Slumber Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 My love of free time is the reason I decided to not go to med school, despite having an amazing degree to go into med school with. Also I'm lazy and don't want to study for more tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demo was good, and the devs seem pretty committed to making it a great, accessible mech game. Weird, all I hear is "The DEMO WAS BAD! HYPE DEAD NO BUY! THIS GAME IS DOOMED TO FAIL!". Even though the devs said the demo was intended as a beta or alpha, intended to get feedback on what needed improve the game, it's not supposed to be the finished product. I'm interested in seeing what reviews the game will get. I'm expecting 7-8s, which for me is "Good if you're into it.". Specifics will be bad plot, nothing special music, good gameplay, aesthetics depend on your tastes. The 7-8 range means people will be calling it a failure, despite it not being bad, but sales won't be great. This said, I'm hoping the game does well, and I might consider getting it eventually. Astral Chain seems to be getting a lot of developer info and game material shown off right now, I'd be more optimistic in its sales expectations. 1 hour ago, Roxas said: debating getting one of botw or odyssey because i feel like if i get both then i won't finish either lol also xd ps4 privilege i slaughtered dmc5 in like a week I'd pick SMO over BotW myself. BotW is nice, but a little empty. SMO is snappier and could probably be finished in a shorter time if you don't rush to Ganon in BotW (which a newbie to the game likely won't). And by "finish", I mean see the ending. Getting all the Power Moons has a small chance of taking longer than BotW 100%, but I doubt it, particularly if you like putting spikes to your backside and try collecting all the Korok Seeds.

Astral Chain seems to be getting a lot of developer info and game material shown off right now, I'd be more optimistic in its sales expectations. The people I've talked with have all felt mostly positive towards the demo, with most citing a lot of QoL issues, which were then directly addressed in the trailer they dropped last month. But idk. I also see it in the 7-8 range, maybe low-80s if the extra polish is enough. It is a pretty niche game. I hope it does well in sales, assuming the game turns out well... but it's releasing on the same day as Borderlands 3, which is a pretty big game. Its only saving grace is that I doubt there's much overlap with DXM's target audience and BL3's. And yeah, Platinum's cemented itself as a developer in the last few years, so I think AC will do fine.

EricaofRenais Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Xenoblade 2 is good if you like that type of game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had been my favorite Switch game before Three Houses came out. Great story, great characters, nice gameplay and the battle system is not that hard to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrymidfields Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) While I haven't actually played this, maybe the Final Fantasy 12 remaster? Apparently that game has got a lot of politics involved similar to some of the better Fire Emblem games. I'm thinking about that with Valkyria Chronicles, Sakura Wars, and Persona 5 Scramble should I get a Switch.

You do not have to play the first part because they are unconnected story wise and their battle system is different too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Nice, and have fun! It also has an add-on called Torna which is basically the sequel of the main game. It is shorter with slightly different battle system but not less fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
