I got it on sale a few weeks back for PS4, and it was $11.99.
My cut-off for impulse purchase is about $20, anything at that price or below. Most games I've bought for Ps4 have probably been somewhere between $10 and $20. But keep an eye out, because certain titles go on sale almost cyclically, while other titles (like Resident Evil 2, or the From games) seem to go on sale much less often, or for much less off.
Price is def. the reason I have trouble pulling the trigger on a lot of Nintendo games.

Have the same 20 dollar max for impulse purchases I think. Also I get this “who the fuck do you think you are?” attitude when I see newer, better games that are cheaper right next to it.

Supermash looks intriguing, it'll be interesting to see how well they pull off that concept

only interested in golf story 2: sports story and the picross murder mystery game
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 10 December 2019 18:24 (four years ago) link
supermash reminds me of the board game "504" which was interesting conceptually but close to 0 of the 504 games it could create were actually fun to play
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 10 December 2019 19:03 (four years ago) link
No news on Silksong?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 10 December 2019 20:16 (four years ago) link
lol speaking of which, I just saw that clip of Gleamlight, and boy, what a shameless looking mimic of Hollow Knight ...
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 10 December 2019 23:15 (four years ago) link
yeh murder by numbers looks good!
― nxd, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 08:56 (four years ago) link

celeste on switch us for ten bucks if anyone's not tried it yetSkyrim and Doom are $30Octopath $36
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 12 December 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link
Celeste for $10 is a steal, considering it should've cost $60 to begin with
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Thursday, 12 December 2019 19:30 (four years ago) link
yeah i'll be grabbing that one
― circa1916, Thursday, 12 December 2019 19:33 (four years ago) link
anyone played Skyrim on switch? I've never played it before, but I'd like to fill the BOTW hole in my heart and that looks serviceable
― rob, Thursday, 12 December 2019 19:39 (four years ago) link
it's nothing like botw other than having a big map but the switch version is a good port if that's what you're asking
― ciderpress, Thursday, 12 December 2019 19:51 (four years ago) link
yeah mostly concerned with "does it look nice?"
― rob, Thursday, 12 December 2019 20:03 (four years ago) link
it looks like skyrim - much gloomier and greyer world than botw but it has its nice bits
― ciderpress, Thursday, 12 December 2019 20:09 (four years ago) link
bravely default 2 hell yeah
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 December 2019 02:32 (four years ago) link
well that's a confusing title
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 13 December 2019 02:34 (four years ago) link
apparently bravely second was bravely default 1-2 in final fantasy parlance
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 December 2019 02:37 (four years ago) link
square gonna square I guess lolnot a fan of the character models they showed but I love the series (does 4 Heroes Of Light count?) so I'll buy it anyway
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 13 December 2019 02:43 (four years ago) link
okay my family got me a Switch Lite for Christmas as requested
but no games
I'm headed out of town tomorrow, a little under the gun ... so I guess I'm just going to install BOTW on internal storage overnight?
― lukas, Monday, 16 December 2019 23:11 (four years ago) link
internal storage is big enough for it if that's what you're asking. maybe grab some smaller stuff too or if you're at all planning to sub to the online service you could do it now and grab the nes & snes games
― ciderpress, Monday, 16 December 2019 23:43 (four years ago) link
the eshop xmas sale starts on the 19th too, maybe wait to see what that is like? the EU tweet says "up to 80% off, over 700 games" but no indication if any first party stuff is going to be included
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Monday, 16 December 2019 23:51 (four years ago) link
I guess I was asking if there were any hidden gotchas, like "once you install on internal storage you can never remove it or you'll lose your saves" or something like it. I guess it's 2019 and Nintendo isn't dumb.
― lukas, Monday, 16 December 2019 23:54 (four years ago) link
Anyway thanks!
I guess it's 2019 and Nintendo isn't dumb.
they're still at least 40% dumb
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Monday, 16 December 2019 23:59 (four years ago) link
Most of the most popular things in history have always been within the margin of error of being 40% dumb
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 00:29 (four years ago) link
you have to go out of your way to delete saves even if you uninstall the game
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 00:48 (four years ago) link
the big new stardew patch is out on switch apparently, tempted to spin up a new game of that
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 01:11 (four years ago) link
So annoying that you can't copy a cartridge to the internal storage. I understand why, but it still sucks.
― DJI, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 01:33 (four years ago) link
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 02:02 (four years ago) link
i think it just adds a bunch more Stuff to the game, i don't want to look up the details either. i don't think it'll fundamentally change how you feel about the game
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 02:24 (four years ago) link
I want a 2D Mario game and I'm probably not good enough to play weird Mario Maker levels, so I guess I'm buying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

have you played Celeste

I have played nothing
― lukas, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:28 (four years ago) link
it looks hard. imagine you're recommending games for an easily frustrated eleven-year-old.

This is smart. What if you got a physical copy and want to free up space on the system but want to pick and choose what save files you hang onto?
― Evan, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:42 (four years ago) link
you can delete them on a game by game basis, there's a menu for it in settings -> data management
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:50 (four years ago) link
lukas Celeste has a granular Assist Mode that lets you tweak the difficulty to your preferences if you get frustrated, and it's also the best Mario game imo
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:54 (four years ago) link
Cuphead is a million times harder than Celeste imo
