well this year has had Mario / Zelda / Mario + Rabbids / Persona 5 / Yakuza 0 + Kiwami / Nier / Horizon / Senua's Sacrifice / Wolfenstein 2 amongst others.
none of them asked me for more money. its pretty easy to avoid the games that do and still play a ton of amazing and 'big' games.

Stardew Valley
i bought this a week ago, the hype was real. already i accidentally have stayed up til 5am several times tending to crops and scavenging on the beach.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 23 November 2017 15:22 (six years ago) link
that's what it does! i detached when it got a bit clingy, should likely restart.
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 23 November 2017 17:15 (six years ago) link
Did it take you guys a while to get into it? I only played it for 15 minutes, but found nothing appealing about it, so I haven't returned to give it a proper try. It sorta made me think back to the miserable hour I spent with a grinding game called Don't Starve.

has anyone played what remains of edith finch?
i really like these sort of games, usually.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, 23 November 2017 18:03 (six years ago) link
w/ stardew valley it took me a few "tries" to get into. once i got my farm anything near working, that's when it started to get addictive.

I read AdBru’s post wrong and was initially indignant like wtf cheat code lets your character stay up until 5am
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 23 November 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link
I also just started Stardew and was hooked by like the 5th day. still no idea what I'm doing but I like that the game doesn't seem to care how long it takes you to figure everything out
― ciderpress, Thursday, 23 November 2017 23:24 (six years ago) link
hard west is not v good, i've decided
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Friday, 24 November 2017 14:24 (six years ago) link
ah you've all convinced me to get Stardew
― Ste, Friday, 24 November 2017 15:00 (six years ago) link
lol my cheatcode was Pinot Noir.
i just built a coop and am trying to gather enough clay for a silo so i can start collecting hay to feed my chickens. this is awesome cos irl i have tried to have chickens several times and was always usurped by legality and city codes. now all that grass i am reaping w my scythe can go towards feeding some animals. i like it!
there is so much to do. i haven't finished my first year and already am seeing so many options and things to pursue. yet you can play this in bite-sized day-long chunks, casually. Switch is the perfect platform for this imo. fishing w the joycons is pretty cool, the hd rumble letting you know when one is on the line. fishing took me a few days to figure out but once i got started it was as addicting as any of this game's great activities.
the music in this game is so good!!! best soundtrack since Shovel Knight? it really captures the feel of those chill 16-bit village games without sounding consciously retro about it. the synths and tones are still modern, more like a chillwave version of the SNES waveset. stunning that this was made by one person. did they do the music too?
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 25 November 2017 20:58 (six years ago) link
Yep!
― .oO (silby), Saturday, 25 November 2017 21:03 (six years ago) link
i keep getting the audio bug where there's static. from what i understand, setting the switch to mono sound and resetting the system fixes that?

I just put up with the audio glitch. Will be fixed in the next Switch patch

Thanks, Will, I'm gonna give Stardew a few more times and see if I start "getting" it.
I bought Poly Bridge yesterday. I'm liking it well enough after nearly an hour, and can definitely see myself picking it up to play for 5-10 minute sessions for a good while to come. Look forward to getting a better feel for what sort of structures work best, etc. It's fun to get a working solution, then try to pare it down to its essentials. It has given me a few nice a-ha! moments where removing a seemingly unimportant part makes everything fall apart.
Also, it has a built-in feature that I imagine might have made it infamous in certain social circles. Replay integration to Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit!Here's a little jump I just made:http://gallery.drycactus.com/image/view/485453(I wouldn't want to be in the second car, but it still counted as a win)

finished Wolfenstein: The New Order and I'm about 2/3rds of the way through The Old Blood, with Wolfenstein II (thanks, black friday!) to follow if I'm not tired of first person shooters
biggest guilty lols so far have to be from the boss fight in TOB where he won't stop screaming about how you killed his dog. dude, you had a nightmare albino beast that you fed human flesh, I am not buying this line about her being the nicest dog in all of Germany

I'm near the end of Autumn, year 1 in Stardew Valley and just built a coop, silo, and enlarged my house in rapid succession.
I also got 1st place in the grange competition at the fair which I'm rather proud of because I'd heard it was really difficult to do in the first year!

I started Horizon Zero Dawn. Even though I have issues with the post-Far Cry 3 template that this inhabits (standard mix of activities, huge map with quests of varying priorities feeling like I have way too many errands to run, etc), it's still pretty great. Mostly due to the mechanics around the robot animals that freshen things up.
