curl-6 said: 3/10. In terms of new games worth buying, the first half of 2018 seems a barren wasteland that takes me back to the bad old days of Wii U. Looks like my Switch will be collecting dust for some time. |
Honestly, that happens with every console I've ever had. The last half of 2017 my PS4 was collecting dust while playing Switch. Now, I guess that I'll play PS4 games like MH:World (maybe, I'm not sure about that yet) and clear some backlog. I think we must acknowledge that 2017 was pretty insane and unparalelled in terms of new and huge first party games in a short time. I think we might ready themselves for the last half, because I think that'd be pretty good too.
I'm still pretty happy with the Direct. I mean, it's not 2017 levels of insanity, but there're some games I'm eager to play. Specially Kirby which looks dope, The World Ends With You, which I haven't had the opportunity to play yet; and Dark Souls: Remastered, because a portable DS is a fucking dream. I'll certainly buy Bayonetta games in February, I really want to double-dip on those games. I have a wait and see approach with Mario Tennis, but this at least feels like it has way more work than the WiiU game, which was mediocre at best. And I'm sure we'll hear about more games to come. WiiU had much, much worse days tbh.
