You'll be waiting a long time for those first party Ninty titles to drop in price 

I hope to get a Switch and a PS4 at the end of their life cycles so I can have lower prices and a bigger catalogue 

He seems to have that covered since we usually get Nintendo Selects (or however they end up phrasing it for the Switch at that point in time) at some point in the latter half of each Nintendo console's life cycle dating all the way back to the SNES era. Seems crazy to think but some lucky bastards are probably gonna end up getting Odyssey and BotW for ~$45 combined after tax. What a time to be alive.

[The Walrus]

I didn't pay for BOTW and only paid $30 for Odyssey. I have lovely friends 

[black_biff_stadler]

Did you have a friend that just shredded through Odyssey in two days and sold it to you for dirt cheap?

[black_biff_stadler]

On an unrelated note, I just snagged my second SNES Classic which will be my brother's Christmas present.

  Nope, I'm just the lone Nintendo fan in my group of friends, and my #1 best friend pre-ordered Zelda for me as a birthday gift. And he knows how much I love Mario so he did the same for that, and he only asked $30 for it. (I'm giving him another $20 for Christmas though, along with his gift, to make up for it)

[black_biff_stadler]

Good to have good friends, ain't it? I usually get good food and good beer for free and free Uber rides from my friend around the corner.

[ReaperKK]

My brother just talked me to into installing Battlerite. First impressions are that it is a very fun game, great for people who don't have time to invest in DotA.

[Nel]

Trails In The Sky trilogy is finished. Fantastic series. Hoping we get 4th and 5th games in the U.S. someday. Doesn't feel right to just skip ahead to the 6th.

Black Friday I ended up getting a massive tip at work, and I happened to see the deal so...

I bought myself the Skyrim PSVR bundle. I have 0 impulse control.

[cramx3]

That sounds awesome and the commercial for it that I recently saw had me drooling for one.

[Sacul]

Todd shall be pleased.

Mah boiii! 

I just did this with a GTX 1080 about a week ago.

[Phoenix87x]

Todd shall be pleased.

Praise be to Todd 

Now I need me some Elder scrolls 6. Maybe someday

It's more likely they'll milk Skyrim into another console before finally making a 6.

[Phoenix87x]

Finally, the game I bought the Switch for is out today, Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I'm only just starting, but for anyone who is a fan of JRPGs or Final Fantasy, then this game is definitely worth checking out. 

[Lynxo]

Would that game make sense for someone who hasn't played the first one?

[Phoenix87x]

I didn't play the first one and so far I am really liking it. There's a robust story, open expansive world, beautiful music, and a combat system that is easy to learn but hard to master. All of which I am enjoying without having played the first one.

[axeman90210]

So yeah, I really like Overwatch.

[The Walrus]

I'm wary about Xenoblade Chronicles. It looks great and Monolith did some amazing things with the world in Breath of the Wild, but the character designs are frankly very bad in my opinion, the generic anime vibe is off-putting. The voice acting sounds awful too from all the footage I've seen. How is the gameplay? I could use a solid RPG on the Switch before 8PT. I've also never played a Xeno-anything game before.

Sure seems like it'd be a lot of fun. Does it work? One of my concerns is that their games are buggy as hell and you often rely on 3rd party mods to make them work, and I gather you can't install them on console versions. I couldn't imagine playing Skyrim without the USP. Also, is it actually any different than if you just played the original game through an OR? My thought process was to buy a Rift and just play the functional, ancient version I already own.

[Sacul]

Been playing the original Deus Ex and finished it today. It was really awesome and has aged very well

I'm not buying it simply because I refuse to start that game from the beginning again. But everyone I've discussed it with who has it absolutely loves it.

Definitely one game I've considered going through again, it has been long enough since I went through it last time. Started Human Revolution or whatever it's called as I was in a Deus Ex mood, but didn't get far due to a decrease in free time.

FWIW even though I could have gotten this already through another retailer, I went with a sold out Amazon purchase to give me more time with my 2nd Horizon run through, and because I get triple points there. That being said I got the email today that I will be getting my set by Wednesday, so at that point I will tell you what I think.

And I TOTALLY understand what you're saying about starting over, but at least this should feel like a new experience in a lot of ways. I did two major playthroughs on PS3, with a third shorter run I believe. I did one long and one short on the PS4 remaster, and at this point I think it's likely safe to say I've spent more time on that game than any other.

I did a lot of gaming this weekend. Played some BioShock, PUBG, and Skyrim.

Mega man 11 has been announced. Now I am pretty mental about mega man so I am pretty happy. But even more exciting is that ALL megaman games including the X series are coming to the switch in 2018. Hell yeah

[cramx3]

Just received some packages at work, including a GTX 1080i graphics card.  I'm like... uhhh, is this a gift for me?!  Turns out we are going to be testing these in some servers for the processing power.  Hopefully the test fails and I can keep the unused leftovers from testing (apparently more cards are coming in).

[Sacul]

Do you have an Ethereum mining farm at work or something? 

[cramx3]

haha wouldn't be surprised if one of the systems engineers had something going on one of our servers, but no, we do online advertising.  We always joke about creating a separate network to only do porn advertising (something the company does not do, and I feel it's a huge untapped market for our product).

I've had a MEGA mega-man in my pants since hearing the news! Cannot wait for 11, cannot wait to replay all the X games! Unbelievable!
