I'm over 80 hours at this point. This getting ridiculous. I took my car in to get serviced on Saturday morning. They were like "it's going to be 2 and half hours" usually I would have bounced. I was told the tech, It's okay. I'm prepared. I sat in the lounge playing Octopath Traveler the whole time. Then I went to get my car detailed, played Octopath Traveler while I waited. Thankfully I have certified USB-C rapid car charger for my phone. I got my Switch batter down to 30%. I went to the mall to order some contacts. By the time I got back to the car, I hid the Switch under my seat, system was already back to 70%. Went to grab a bite to eat and by the time I got home the Switch was 95% full when I plopped it back down in the dock to keep playing. I used to laugh at those ads of people playing the Switch outside, etc. I basically lived a Switch ad on Saturday. I've never played my Switch in public before. I usually only use undocked mode when I travel to home to Virginia visit family or if there is something on TV, like a UFC event, and I want watch TV and play at the same time. |
This story encapsulates everything I try to explain to haters about the Switch that they just don't get. It's so awesome being able to play games of this quality, with two joysticks mind you, anywhere I want. (Keep in mind, I never bought a Vita because by the time I was considering it, it's fate was pretty obvious, sadly)
But on topic, it's great to see a game succeed. It's pretty sad that it came as a surprise to Square-Enix, though. The demos download numbers and pre-order numbers must not have been a very good gauge for them.
