I'm interested in trying everything the man does, Katamari is such a gem. Probably the best game in the "genre" of replayable stage-based games.

It's called story mode, but you just get a small cutscene every 10 stages to introduce the next theme - like a space station or a factory.

So, I've already finished the main story for Monkey Ball Banana Mania. I'm still messing with the challanges and special stages, but I'll soon start my next big RPG: Metaphor.

As for Monkey Ball, it's not what I've expected. I thought about getting some chill precision based gameplay, but it's actually quite stressful. Kinda like I'd imagine games like Getting over it, just with really short stages. I got a bit frustrated around when the difficulty spiked, but at some point the game just clicked and grinding stages almost became akin to meditation. I can see myself returning from time to time to improve my times.

But why? Dragon Ball still stands the test of time, I've just watched it recently.

I'd argue it is more beautiful and better paced than Daima was. In fact, it's the second most beautiful series just behind Z. The new stuff isn't bad by any means, but the characters are too shiny and traditional animation just has more charm, I think. Just look at GT's SSJ4 and Daima's - ignoring the design differences, I still prefer GT for it's art style.

Never heard of it, looked it up and apparently it just came out on the 14th. That's not even a full week till wednesday.

Greenlight was almost universally hated by devs. It could be easily gamed by abusing your popularity or by simply using bots. It prevented actual indie devs from ever releasing finished games while a lot of greenlit games didn't even release.

Getting off = orgasm

It's been about 138h, but I actually finished Witcher 3 + all DLCs this week. I completed every single quest I came across, apart from the two 'Collect all Gwent cards' ones. It's been quite a ride! I'd recommend the game for it's characters, story telling and moral dilemmas. The gameplay was good too, although even on death march, it was quite easy - of course I was rich and somewhat overleveled from having done everything, so take that with a grain of salt. I finished at lvl 51 with the final quest being marked as lvl 49. Despite other claims, the Switch port was mostly good. Although, halfway through Blood and Wine, about 125h in, the game started to lag in fights with multiple opponents and never stopped doing so. I don't know what happened, even the big bandit camps didn't lag much before that.

Anyways, this weekend I'm going to start another run - this time doing a sign build! Last time I was focused on alchemy and basically only used Quen. There are so many gameplay options I never tried much and - nah, just kidding. I'm playing some Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, actually my first entry in the series, as a sort of palate cleanser and then grab a JRPG from my backlog.

It's been so long since Odyssey and we've just had Totk, I'd guess another 3D Mario is likely their S2 'killer app'. Could be Legends Z-A or Metroid Prime 4 too, both of which would be cross generation. However, I'm not exactly dying to get my hands on any of these either way, especially not Pokemon.

Well, no, once a Monster Hunter game releases on the S2, my partner makes me buy one.

I could get something else, assuming cross play exists, but the only exclusives across all platforms I care about are games made by Monolith. So, at some point I'll need the S2.

Hopefully, I won't have to get the console for several months - if not years. Nintendo's launch titles usually aren't anything to write home about. BotW was a notable exception in recent memory, but was also available on the previous generation.

As if they wouldn't inject just as many ads once they have enough market share.
