RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

I wouldn't say I'm annoyed. I just have no interest in them. Same with Twitch streamers. I want to actually play games in my spare time, not watch someone else play.

I feel like I would more into both if I was 10-15 years younger though.

And I was *this* close to requesting to watch you play Horizon the other night.

Ha, honestly the only time I go to Twitch is to watch someone play an unreleased game or a game I'm interested in buying. I don't tune in to weekly/daily streams or anything of that nature.

I don't get esports, but it doesn't annoy me. Seems like a great way to suck the fun out of video games.

Sometimes I'll watch a completed speed run of a game, but that's about it.

I like watching speed runs.

I've never messed around with third party controllers. They usually suck.

I'll report back on how fucking awful the one I just bought is.

I never 'got' the urge of people watching other people play until my son and I found the videos of high-level New Super Mario Bros WiiU that are on the disc. Holy shit.

I look forward to your full report.

i mean i was the jerk at the bowling alley who could get you past that level in pacman, but my god, the fact there are teams and they are covered by some media....

I watch horror games on YouTube like I'm watching Netflix. I'm too scared to play things like RE7 and Amnesia so I'll watch them with no commentary in 45 minute chunks. RE7 in particular was super fun to watch.

Picked up the Uncharted 1-3 collection yesterday. Thinking I'll probably skip the first one and just start with #2, unless there are any strong objections? I watched some stuff online that makes the first one look a bit rudimentary by today's standards. And I'm not really here for the story; I just want to shoot things and climb and dive for cover.

i'd vote for playing 1 for the puzzles alone

[Monkey_Driven]

Speaking of controllers, got the Switch Pro Controller in the mail yesterday. That thing is nice. The grips are super comfortable and the rumble is very cool. The analog sticks are a bit close to the buttons, but all in all a very good controller.

WTF happened to the Zelda Amiibos yesterday? Suddenly people realize they give you shit in BotW (no kidding, who didn't see that coming?) and their prices are going up to $100. I'm not talking the new ones, I mean the 30th anniversary ones.

So I went to wal-mart and bought three of them (clearance even at $6!) because this is America, right?

Very smart. I wondered if that was going to happen.

I got the new Link Archer amiibo in the BotW art style. It has some great detail.

[E.H. Ruddock]

My nephew has an amiibo collecting obsession, so he has all the Zelda ones. This will come in handy when I get the game.

Cheat Sheet I found:

Breath of the Wild Amiibo

Smash Bros. Amiibo
•Link – On the first use, get Epona. Other uses spawn weapons, armor and even pieces for the green tunic outfit.
•Zelda – Bows, gems, herbs and vegetable can be acquired with this Amiibo. Also, players have a rare chance in getting the Twilight Bow.
•Ganondorf – A chance at getting powerful claymore type weapons, food items, arrows and monster parts. Players will also have a small chance at getting the Sword of the Six Sages claymore.
•Sheik – Get shield, swords, elemental mushrooms and arrows with this Amiibo. Also rarely drops the Sheik’s Mask.

Other Zelda Amiibo

There are a ton of bonuses in store for those who try out the Zelda Breath of the Wild Amiibo features. Players can get a ton of exclusive items and even outfit Link in one of the few green tunics. For fans of the game, the Zelda Breath of the Wild Amiibo functions are definitely worth looking into.

I think the amiibo are included in targets buy 2 get 1 sale so that + a $25 gift card I got for my birthday is going to help with the BotW ones.

Wow, there are a lot of Zelda related amiibos. I like they are continuing to support amiibos, both old and new. They are pretty cool little figures too.
