Downloaded it this morning

Might still be installing. Excited to see the new attributes of the baby bombers and get my online reps going, because I have literally nothing else good going on in my life right now....
Breath of the Wild  
UConn4523 : 3/28/2017 10:07 am : link
might be the best game I've ever played. Open world has never executed this perfectly. I'm probably 25 hours in and barely scratched the surface.
I wanted an RPG/Adventure  
Metnut : 3/28/2017 10:08 am : link
game for PS4 and had to decide between Mass Effect and Horizon. Went with Horizon, am about 5 hours in, and REALLY love it. The world and lore is lush and interesting to explore and the combat is tight. Can't wait to send some more time with the game. First time since the Witcher 3 I've played a game like this and am this excited early.

I never ended up finishing FF15. I had fun with it for about 20-25 hours, but had no interest in going forward with the main story after getting almost half way through it.

Definitely agree on Breath of the Wild. I am about 80 hours in and still finding new things all the time, it's amazing how much they put into this game and none of it feels forced or out of place. I had a 6 hour flight to Seattle last night and it was honestly the best flight I've ever had because I was able to play Zelda the entire time. This is the first time I've actually been looking forward to the DLC for a game because I don't want it to end. I have Horizon Zero Dawn sitting on the shelf waiting to be played and I feel like I'm going to be disappointed by it after playing Zelda first.

As for MLB The Show, I preordered on Amazon so should be getting my copy on Thursday. I'm looking forward to the retro game mode, going to have a lot of fun nights playing that multiplayer with friends.
yeah I'll probably never pick up FF15 again  
UConn4523 : 3/28/2017 10:23 am : link
I stopped after fighting Leviathan which was the dumbest thing I've ever had to do in gaming. That fight was absolutely horrid.

Zelda should be called Breath of Fresh Air because the game puts on an absolute clinic. Developers need to take notes. My only worry going into it was the difficulty and I'm glad that is pretty challenging.
The Show > everything else  
Vin R : 3/28/2017 10:26 am : link
Until May at least lol

Picking it up after work

Thats some high praise.
Been playing Mass Effect Andromeda on the PC for 2 solid days  
montanagiant : 3/28/2017 10:36 am : link
The scope of this game is massive w/ a great storyline. Only complaint is the overly long beginning cutscene you can't fast forward through

Only 25 hours? Ha Im over 100 hours in because I enjoy locating all the hidden shrines and seeds and side quests and memories. Beat 1 of the 4 beasts, thats as far as I have gone with the main story

25-30 if I had to guess. I only uncovered 4 of the territories in the span since I'm constantly finding new things. I could easily play the game for 8 hours straight but my free time is minimal. I'm planning on taking a week off in April to do some work on my house and relax since I never take time off, in which case I will log some time on Zelda.

The Nintendo Switch catalog is very small but this game makes it not matter. If Mario came soon I wouldn't be able to get to it so i'm glad it will be coming this holiday.
What mode do you guys play in The Show?  
djl8699 : 3/28/2017 10:52 am : link
I love the game but I'm still not finished with my season from last year. It just takes me too long to play.

Online vs. mode.

Pre ordered it  
BIG FRED 1973 : 3/28/2017 10:57 am : link
on amazon and if you are Prime member you get it for $ 47 instead of $ 59 ,The classic mode looks cool
Just won my first online contest  
adamg : 3/28/2017 11:01 am : link
Bullpen pitching is unfair with Chapman, Betances, and four eyes to end a game... I'll take it though, makes up for having crap SPs.
I feel like arcade mode  
Vin R : 3/28/2017 11:04 am : link
I'll play maybe twice
And now the servers are down  
adamg : 3/28/2017 11:08 am : link

Loving Horizon Zero Dawn  
NYdeuce : 3/28/2017 11:32 am : link
....the gameplay is great, and I like the mysterious storyline that is slowly unfolding. I can't wait for all the DLC. Horizon is similar to Far Cry in some aspects, so if you liked Far Cry, you'll love Horizon.

You won't be disappointed, I think it's pure enjoyment.

The rest of my time is split between a Madden league, NHL club, and eventually an MLB league.
Anyone ever played anything ELSE on Switch?  
Heisenberg : 3/28/2017 3:58 pm : link
Fast RMX any good? Zelda is great but it'd nice to play something multiplayer. Mario Kart is on pre-order already for me of course.

Nope. I'll probably buy Kart when it comes out so my wife can play something but Zelda will consume my time for months.

Yeah, I get it. Zelda is great. But my kids and I love mario bros on Wii. We still play mario kart on Wii. Never got the WiiU so missed out on the games that came out for that console. Didn't think I'd have to wait for a mario title. I love the Zelda game and we play that, but I also cant wait until we are hollering at each other and competing, too.
I know it can just be lip service  
UConn4523 : 3/28/2017 4:43 pm : link
but they apparently have huge reveals coming for E3. I haven't been this excited for an E3 in years.
I bought the Playstation VR

Just buy the console for $299. It comes with everything you need to play on the go and recharge. I brought it the weekend it launched to a business trip and it worked great.

I have Snipperclips, it was relatively cheap and I have enjoyed it. It is actually pretty challenging and really forces you to communicate with the person you are playing with. I believe there is a demo available on the e-shop so you can check that out first.
