Not sure why the icon thread was closed, it was totally civilised conversation, discussion on actual design procedures, and had an effect on changing a lot of bad icons out there.

But this. Hoh boy, this:

Probably because it was based around the Snake Pass icon, which has since been resolved

Maybe start a new more generalised thread?

also wow at that icon

Where is the demo of Heroes of Monkey Tavern? Can't find it on its gamepage.

Edit: As mentioned in the Newssection. There will be a Halloween eShop Sale starting 24. till November 2nd.

I bet it was delayed. It was originally announced with a 10/27 date, physical and digital, but I see the 11/16 date in a couple places now. Need to make sure it's not just the physical part getting bumped back.

I would say go for it. I really don't know what issues there are to speak of. This is my first time playing Oxenfree and I am really enjoying it. Really has me hooked.

The plot thickens!

I have to stop buying games for the moment anyway, as I have filled my SD card and only have room for Mario. I might grab it once I manage to upgrade.

FWIW, only EU is confirmed as having a sale so far (though for the Switch component of the sale, region free is an available tool).

Elliot Quest is a major disappointment. It's nowhere near the quality of Zelda 2. Especially the battle mechanics is disappointing and has no depth at all. Just point and shoot until the slow enemy is dead. The level design is poor and confusing. Overall a very dull and mediocre game. Spend your money on something else.

Sorry to hear you didn't like it. I hope it wasn't purchased on my recommendation, I'd feel bad steering you wrong. Personally I had a completely different experience with the game (on Wii U), but I understand your disappointment.

The Darksiders games are $8 apiece on Wii U, in case you were meaning to play them or wanted to complete the duology.

Stick it to the Man is also on for a good price, if you like point-and-click games and wanted to play one that does some creative stuff with the GamePad, this is your game.

Love adventure games so I'm curious about Siberia but have yet to see any reviews. Wonder if they'll do any package pricing by the time all 3 titles are released?

go to the main board, hit the search and type in "3DS recommendations" or "bought 3DS"
and you'll drown in threads listing all the must haves for you.

I think November could be bigger.

Really looking forward to The Mummy Demastered. Even if it's kinda janky, I got a weird sense of enjoyment out of licensed (movie) games on the GBC so I think I could enjoy this a lot.

I know right, those screenshots on the eShop look legit. I'm going to keep an eye out for it, it may actually be good.

But I have enough good things on my Switch, I'm not burning for any need new games.

If anyone wants to find me on Steam, I'm on there.

If for some reason you want to catch me on Miiverse, I'm there.

Quote to see. Had a lot of fun with you guys.

Enjoyed this thread, would appreciate a PM if there's any info on it reforming in a significant manner elsewhere. Though will check the new place, and hopefully at least some of this will migrate over.

Nintendo-gaf, I'm moving on. Taking into account Tyler's sexual inappropriateness, his personal conduct, and his attitude when interacting with his own gaf community, these new changes to gaf show how tone deaf he is to the issues people have with unaccountable moderation and taking away the very spaces and features that help people build community on a video game forum. Talking about "just games" on a forum that previously embraced expansive discourse is just gamefaqs. Goodbye all! Play Mario Odyssey!!! It's gonna be lit!

I'm not really impressed with what I've heard about the leadership there, I'll keep an open mind though.

For sure I'll still be using Steam though. And Miiverse until the second it dies!

Lol.

In regards to the mods there i have the same hesitations, but am willing to give it a shot

Nintendo Downloads was the one community that was closest to being my "home" on GAF, but in light of recent events I'll be stepping away from GAF.

I doubt many will know or miss me, but it's been fun all the same. Peace.

Hey much like others who frequented here we might not have been the tightest knit but with what went down this past week I'm sure we've all gained an increased appreciation the community/group we maintained.
You got Twitter, if so exchange deets?

SnakePass:

Part of me loves SnakePass while the other part hates it. It's a nice and beautiful game and it's fun when it works. However, I dunno If to call the controls broken/movement mechanics broken or if it just me. Controlling snake is frustrating at times and some of the harder challenges are nerve-racking. For this reason, I can not recommend the game to no one, not even on discount. If I were to score this game I would refrain myself from giving it a score.

If you have a chance to try it out for free ( I don't know if there is a demo or not), see if you can get the hang of controls and mechanics. If you can buy it and if you can't don't.

Thanks for this. I've been on the fence about this game from day one but looking at the snakes movement always concerned me.
