Switchin'

On 10/03/2017 at 12:01 PM by Matt Snee

Bought Golf Story. It's downloading now while the Switch charges. I also played Primrose's story in Octopath Traveller. It's actually a much better story/scenario than the male warrior's, which i found a bit cliche. There's less action, but the story is interesting. I did not beat it. I faced the last boss twice, and after he killed me the second time after I had prepared for the battle, I said fuck it. Fuck it.

But I'm totally buying this when it comes out. Primrose's story convinced me more than the male warrior's. Seems like it might be an incredible game. I wish the battles were a bit shorter, but oh well.

I've been working my way through Mario Kart. Lovely game. I'm gonna finally play online sometime soon for some real competition. I used to be really good at Mario Kart, but I imagine there's a bit of rust on me now.

I'm excited for holiday games.

I LOVE Mario Kart 8. I really should go back and get 3 stars on 200cc.

I booted up Octopath Traveller for a moment, and it looks amazing.

Oh man! Golf Story looks COOL! Wish I had a Switch.

For some reason, Happy Gilmore came to mind.

Golf Story reminds me of a game that Steven was playing on Steven Universe once. I emailed the company who makes Golf Story to see if I can get a review code, but they haven't responded yet.

I've been playing the original Super Mario Kart on my SNES Classic Edition. That game still holds up very well today, I think.

I started the Primrose story but didn't get far into it. I'll go back again soon. I love Golf Story.

Im definitly getting Octopath once it releases. I was still working on the Warriors story but I played primroses and like you, hers convinced me it was a def buy. I want Golf Story but until my job hours pick up, which will be starting next week I cant really buy anything. I havent had much work between September and now. Still planning to be a Pharmacy tech but gonna go about it a diferent way now. Anyway have you played any of the Shantae games? the new one is really good and you can get it on the Switch. I finished it last night and it was a lot of fun. it has DLC to play as Risky but I cant buy it yet. Stardew Valley releases tomorrow on the SWITCH!

I saw Stardew Valley is coming, but I'm gonna get Axiom Verge instead, which drops on the same day. I haven't played a Shantae game, but I've heard a lot about them, and want to. I will probably pick up the Switch one in time.

Hope your career perks up!
