Yeah, Cuphead is actually the first Xbox One exclusive that makes me sad I don't have an Xbox One. :lol Oh well.

I finished Danganronpa V3 the other day, probably my favorite in the series but I'm gonna let it settle a bit before I decide for sure

Really good stuff but pretty reliant on having played the first two games too, despite the different setting

I have a few days of Zelda BOTW and then I'm getting Cuphead. Can't wait!

Everyone I know that's purchased CUphead has regretted it. It's unnecessarily difficult to the point where you just stop giving a fuck and never play it again.

That’s what I heard too, it’s a really difficult game. I may still buy it, I can always return it on steam.

Games that are that difficult just aren't fun. I love a good challenge and a reasonable difficulty in games but games like Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Dark Souls etc. I just don't get it.

I'm 25 hours into Disgaea 5. I'm only just now figuring out how the game actually works. There's a system for literally everything, I started the game and was thrown in the deep end, it was utterly dizzying. I normally would've hated Googling everything trying to figure it out, but it started to make sense and began to grow on me. Then, next thing I know, 5 hours passed in the blink of an eye as I powerleveled characters and made new ones. If this game bites me the way Breath of the Wild did, I'm going to put hundreds of hours into this. (And there's a character with an ability that increases stats by 1% for every 10 hours played... she'll be dangerous)

Dark Souls isn't even super difficult, it's just frustrating and annoying. Going up a giant intimidating-looking boss that can kill you in two hits while trying to figure out their pattern, dying & resurrecting at a bonfire then making your way back to the boss is tiring. Trial & error gameplay plus checkpoint saves is a recipe for annoyance. But for some strange reason I played through and finished the first game. Right after I finished I thought, "Herrick you're never going to play a game like this again". Then a year later I bought Dark Souls 2  :huh:

I've tried to get through Dark Souls 3 and while I think it's a pretty game it's not as tight as I imagine, I feel like some of the hit boxes can be ambiguous.

I just got Stardew valley for the switch (its on most other platforms as well)

Its great. Pretty much like harvest moon, but extremely deep and intricate. Hours upon hours can be lost in this thing. On 15 bucks too.

After nearly 100 hours I finally finished Zelda BOTW. Simply amazing game. Groundbreaking in many ways. There are still a ton of side quests I need to complete and I'm looking forward to the new DLC in a couple of months but I'm done for now. After 3 months I'm ready to move on to something else.

I remember when my buddy gave me his PS3 I picked up Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls 2 for very cheap. I popped in Demon's Souls and hated it immediately. I then tried Dark Souls and liked it at first but the controls and sluggish movement completely turned me off. I think I got to the first boss before hanging it up, I went through the try-get slaughtered-respawn-try again 50 times cycle enough with the Ninja Gaiden games. I require a strong positive feedback loop, preferably in a quick format like Diablo or, as I've just discovered, Disgaea. I don't mind failure but I don't want it to be half the game.

I really want Stardew Valley again but I already dropped so much time into it on the PC. But it's so cheap, and portable... but I promised I'd buy ProgPower tickets this weekend and nothing else... ahh

I only played the first Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox. I remember it being very challenging but not annoyingly challenging like the Souls games. Or maybe I was more into that kind of gameplay back then.

I really want to like Dark Souls, the atmosphere and design and everything are right up my street. But I just don't find that level of difficulty fun. More power to those who do, though. BotW is about as difficult as I can be bothered with, and even then it's only hard in the early going

I'll have to buy one of those Wiis one of these days. I'm so far behind on Zelda and Mario games. It's quite a travesty  :sad: I blame GoG and Steam. Just too many PC games to play.

You can skip Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Not really a Mario guy (though Odyssey looks fun) so no recommendations either way there

Agreed. Tried playing Twilight Princess again (in 11 years I've never managed to beat it a second time) before BOTW came out and just couldn't do it. Way too linear, way too slow, probably impossible for me to ever play it again after BOTW.

I really want Shadow of War but I won't buy it until I can pick it up secondhand because fuck developers putting microtransactions in a single player game. I'll buy it used. So until then, I'm gonna wait for Mario Odyssey - but I think I'm gonna grab Fire Emblem Warriors on the 20th. Been waiting for that for a loooong time.

Twilight Princess is easily the second best Zelda game for me, behind OoT of course. Wind Waker was disappointingly short and repetitive (still finished it and enjoyed it), and I've tried and given up on Majora's Mask more times than I can count before even getting to the first dungeon. Don't ignore Twilight Princess!
I haven't played Skyward Sword or BOTW yet. I don't have a Switch, but we have a Wii, but not the motion plus thingy that SS requires.  :-\

Skyward Sword is the worst 3D Zelda by some margin, imo. Which is a shame; the art style is lovely, the music is great, it's got some good characters and the Ancient Cistern might be the best dungeon in the series. But the world is atrocious with next to no exploration, and the controls are downright unforgivable.

Wind Waker
Breath of the Wild
Ocarina
Majora

Twilight Princess

2. Ocarina/Majora (I've never been able to choose which is better)
4. Link's Awakening
5. Oracle of Ages

I can't really rank the 2D games... I've played Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Link Between Worlds (Link Link Link) to completion once each but none of the others. They were ok! But Wind Waker is where I fell in love with the series. I was mostly a PC guy until the N64/PS1 era of games

Edit: regarding my ranking of the threeds, they're all at least decent games. Skyward Sword is bad for a Zelda game but it's still like a 5/10 at worst for me

My first time through Majora's Mask, I grudgingly made it through the 3rd temple, and then gave up. So much of it was not intuitive. When I revisited it, I used a guide to get me through a few of the hairy parts, and enjoyed it much more, and appreciated what the designers were going for. I still think there are a few "How the hell would I have figured that out?" moments, but maybe that's my problem.

Ocarina was mindblowing when I first played it, but I can't imagine having enough desire to play through it again. And I liked the Water Temple.

I really want Shadow of War, but the microtransaction thing is annoying. I'm going to try to pick it up secondhand for cheap (so as to not directly give money to the devs). I'm also irrationally upset, as a LOTR purist, by the changes to the lore. Shelob is not a human and never should be, damn it! The changes to lore in the first game I just grit my teeth through it but wtf.
