  • Re: Official Video Games Thread VIII: Titans are destined to fall

    Anyone got any hints for Binding of Isaac? Don't want to get spoiled, just general "hey, try/don't try this you idiot" stuff I should know about.

      Does anybody other than Twitch actually have a Switch yet? I finished Zelda (storyline only so far), but it was on the Wii U.

        Unlocked Eve on Binding of Isaac.

        First run with her I get a freaking Crack The Sky in room 1 (shoots sunbeams everywhere that wreck everything, especially bosses, but takes a couple rooms to recharge.)

        A few floors later I get a Virgo (protection from a whole mess of stuff) and a freaking Holy Mantle (free one-hit shield per room.) I'm pretty much ready for war.

        Make it to Depths. Pick up The Emperor. Start getting ***pwned, get down to 2 hearts, decide to pull a "What does THIS do?"

        Well I'll tell you what it does - warps directly to Mom (one of the numerous end bosses.) Crack The Sky isn't charged. Game over.

            Hearing lots of places are getting in shipments to prepare for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which drops Friday. Target and Wal-Mart especially.

                Honestly, other than happening upon a $10 deal, is there are reason to purchase a game at a store anymore?

                  In this case I could see it saving on storage space (you only have ~25 GB and an AAA game can take 6 GB or more - believe MK8 was 6.9 GB when I looked in the eShop.)

                  I got Breath of the Wild and Bomberman on cartridge. I'll try to get MK8 on cartridge as well, but it's nice to know there's the eShop if that fails.

                    I buy them all from a store. It's near work, I build up relationship with employees. I can get better service and heads up on items coming in.

                    Pre-ordered at the store.

                      I was thinking more along the lines of ordering the game through Amazon or Target, just not going into a store and competing with the crowds.

                      Well, that makes sense. No stores are really that convenient for me.

                        My Gamestop still had 1 Switch left today out of the 5 they received yesterday. I'm surprised.

                        Maybe people are assuming they won't find one.

                          I've not bothered looking for one. Didn't think to even try until August or September.
