Finished Super Mario 3D World at 1800p or whatever the switch 2 version runs at. Not my favourite 3d mario, found it a bit hard to pinpoint where mario was in some situations, and the controls also felt a bit off.

I'd recommend waiting for another revision of the switch 2 if you want to do a lot of handheld retro/sidescrolling gaming on the switch 2, this screen is way to slow for that, it's not as bad as the black smear on bad VA-panels, but it just does not look or feel good. It's "fine" for modern...

I guess I kind of finished Mario Kart World.

Mario Kart is pretty neat, but IMO not good enough to be the sole nintendo game available at launch. The fact that the open world stuff isn't a forza horizon clone just feels like a missed opportunity, they could have made a game that would last for the entire generation if they just had copied...

Finished Tainted Grail, I hope they will eventually finish act 3, it basically turned an 8/10 game into a 6/10. It's so full of bugs and a general feel of being unfinished.

Being able to get a hand of a new piece of HW on day one feels weird, but I now have a switch pro.

Reached Act 3 in tainted grail, it's not at the same level of quality as act 1 and 2, it feels like this is where they ran out of money and pulled the game out of early access and launched the game for real.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1466060/Tainted_Grail_The_Fall_of_Avalon/ Give this thing a try when it goes on sale if you liked avowed. Don't expect the same kind of polish as avowed though, it's not made by a huge studio.

I hope their infrastructure can handle millions of consoles downloading that firmware on the same day.

I've been playing Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. It's a pretty neat bethesda-like rpg, it does not have npc schedules or anything like that, but the gameplay and leveling is heavily inspired by the elder scrolls series. And unlike doom, I can't stop playing it.

Isn't this like the 4th time they've done this and blamed it on a former employee?

Played three missions, not sure what to think of the game, I guess it is alright, but as with eternal, I'm not a fan of all the gimmicky shit that they've introduced, all I wanted was a sequel to doom 2016. Can't say that I'm a huge fan of the story or the setting, it just feels stupid and kind...

Finished the oblivion remaster. 59/60 achievements, I don't understand why they had separate achievements for the mania/dementia duke choice when every other achievement is achievable in a single playthrough. Dick move, bethesda. Oh well, I enjoyed my time with the remaster, I had forgotten...

I'm having as much fun with this remaster as I had playing it for the first time, I had seriously forgotten how many things oblivion did better than skyrim. I just wish that the performance was better, it seriously feels like the real fps is at least 20 frames below what the ingame counters...

Something is wrong with the spawning of oblivion gates, I have one even though I have not progressed far enough into the main quest.
