Thanks!

Just Mario Kart and Rayman to start with - planning to get more of the big hitters around Xmas. Only played MK so far, but bloody hell it’s wonderful. Got a train journey this evening to kill some time on so sure i’ll get stuck into both.

And cheers for the doc, will try and jump into the lobby if I’m free! Look forward to regularly losing podium finishes to you all after slipping on a banana and getting hit by a combination of coloured shells.

No problem.
Yeah MK8D is great fun. You’ll never be stuck for a game online anyway if you don’t use the DiS lobby but it would be nice to get a few more games on there with everyone.
Always hear great things about Rayman but there’s just too many good games coming out now. Maybe grab it on sale at some point too.
There’s lots of demos in the eshop too if you’re wanting to try a few games out.

I think Rayman is going to be one of those games that ends up perpetually on my wish list but always below something else. Mind you, after ten minutes of dying repeatedly in the demo, that might not be such a bad thing!

No. You WILL buy it and buy it now

Not before at least Zelda, Stardew, Splatoon and Mario Kart. And probably Golf Story.

You do what I say for your own good or ill clap ya

sells switch

:sob:

So WWE 2k18 is out now apparently?

I’m wary of the lack of previews and reviews anywhere.

Yup, doesn’t matter for you though, as you’ll be too busy playing Rayman

I would be, if you hadn’t forced me to seek my console earlier today :wink:

This is the only opinion I can find. Would heed the advice of this comment though “when a ‘big’ title like WWE 2K18 gets delayed and delayed without any communication from the developer, and suddenly pops up on the store with short notice… it should be a very big red flag to stay away and await some reviews.”

Seems like the game wasn’t well received on other platforms in the first place either

I will probably buy this despite all the red flags and the fact that I haven’t enjoyed a WWE game for a very long time on accounts of how I’m a knobhead.

Make sure you’ve got plenty of SD card space available!

I put another 3 hours into Xenoblade 2 just to be sure it wasn’t for me. Anddd while it clicked a little bit, it wasn’t enough. Just traded it for Zelda.

Need to share my switch code on here. I’ll rinse the lotta ya at MK8

I’ve got one of the old ones on PS3 and briefly had 2K16 on Xbox One. They’ve always looked hideous and run like shit. Not surprised.

I last one I thought was really good was WWE 13

The games have steadily gotten worse since 2k took the reigns from THQ. They just seem so confused as to what they want it to be, especially in career mode where its trying to be a sport sim and breaking keyfabe at the same time. They keep on trying to add sport sim elements to the combat whilst trying to make you put on ‘a good show’

It’s a mess, the lighting FINALLY looks better but the game is still a janky mess and has less focus than ever. They need to rebuild the thing from the ground up but it sells a shit load of copies so whats the point? I really wish they’d just focus on Universe mode and make that mode as good as it SHOULD be, but it’s barely better than when it was first introduced 6 years ago.

I’m 15-20 hours in and struggling to want to play it anything like I did the previous games. Maybe I’ve just had too much of a good thing…

Stuck on a boss 4 levels above me and I know the next 2 hours of gameplay is grinding if I want to carry on…

Are you leveling up at the Inns? You might have two or three levels in the bank from mission exp that are just sitting dormant.
