Just dropped the BF4 singleplayer, it was fairly dull despite the constant gunfight and explosions, and the bit where you try to escape from the prison in the dark while having barely any ammo and being shot at from all directions was the last straw.

I was in the same boat - fell out of love during the Wii years. As a result had massive reservations about the Switch - but decided to buy one because of Mario and Zelda. Can honestly say buying a switch is the best gaming decision I've ever made - I adore it. Bought for Nintendo IPs but its turned into my little indie title machine too. I've never been so spoilt for great games I think theres hundreds of games I would like to play. From my experience I would personally recommend giving Nintendo another chance.

If I could still use a standard controller I'd certainly get a switch as it seems like a step back towards the Gamecube days.

Don't think I'd bother with most of the 3rd party/indie stuff though as the price increase for the Switch version of certain games is ridiculous.

I've put some things on the shelf because it, say, wasn't the right time to play some 80+ hour monstrosity (AC Odyssey) or stopped playing something because the gameplay in that particular entry is shite (FIFA20), but I don't have so little self control that as soon as a good game adds microtransactions I ban myself from playing it.

Maybe loot boxes and microtransactions ruin the gameplay for some titles but for the most part, the titles people make the most noise about, time and time again, are rarely affected in a way that is so significant that the game suddenly becomes unenjoyable if you don't engage with them. Some idiots are so easily worked into a fervour by garbage YouTube "personalities" whose whole bit is to get "good and mad" about the latest BIG PUBLISHER CONTROVERSY that any genuine discussion around how fun a huge release is to play is drowned out by toxic discourse and dogpiling.

The "fight back" and "take a stand" rhetoric is dumb and embarrassing. Don't play it if you don't like it. Who gives a strawberry float.

Good morning :slol:


Pretty much this...to a point.

I've been thoroughly enjoying Battlefront 2 these past few weeks after about a year and eight(ish) months. But even back in 2017, while the controversy was at its peak, I didn't allow it to strip any of my enjoyment away nor did it blind me to the merits of DICE's work - unlike those single-minded dogpilers who end up blinding themselves for no other reason than to be enraged

However, I do feel it's important to highlight - not necessarily have a tantrum, but rather criticise - how companies conduct their business with a level head. I hate when youtubers/streamers try to make others feel bad for prioritising themselves over some strawberry floating crusade.

Fifa - efootball is just amazing this year and i have bought both for a few years now. No need for fifa anymore although i do miss online.

Red dead redemption - just so boring. Technical marvel, but over a year later and i have no motivation to complete this.

COD - was ok at the beginning, but did not really warm to the series.

Xbox - bought the original because i wanted to experience a much more powerful console. Bought 360 because of some great exclusives, but that was it for me. All playstation exclusive and nintendo after that.

To drop next - nintendo. Getting fed up of the games they are churning out. Zelda is the main reason i stick by them for now and probably mario kart.

I don't think I can say I've dropped anything permanently. I dropped Nintendo for a while after the Wii but since getting a Switch a year ago I literally haven't played a single game on the PS4 and I can't see myself going back since I am unlikely to bother with a PS5.

I dropped PES for years in favour of FIFA but now seem to have got bored of both.

I keep trying the Hitman/Hitman 2 free levels to see if I like them as the full games go on sale all the time, however a combination of my PC running them at lowest settings and 720p to get 60fps (and even then not all the time) and being rubbish at stealth games just puts me right off, which is a shame as they are clearly excellent games, however I am just not right for them - I constantly get spotted or otherwise cock up which leads to escalating gun battles which feel like i'm doing the levels wrong, so when I inevitably get cornered and gunned down it doesn't fill me with enthusiasm to try again from the beginning.

Like alot of you FIFA, used to get it every single year (starting from 1998 Road to Worfld Cup) but last one I bought was FIFA 16 after not justifying just buying the same thing every single year.

COD last one I bought was Advanced Warfare, that was after buying every single one before then including multiple midnight launches during Uni. Again it all felt very samey, although I'm considering pickinging up the new one in the new year at some point as it looks like a return to the multiplayer which I loved during my Uni years of COD 4.
