Is there a way to buy two games at once on the eshop? I thought I'd use that Paypal thing and buy two £15 games - cunning, huh? - but it always goes straight to payment unless I miss something, there's no basket. I guess I might want Snipperclips as well which'd do it in one.

There's no basket, so no way to buy multiple items at once. You can however just top up your eshop credit with however much money you want, so you can top up your wallet with the combined amount using a single payment, and then buy your games.

good thinking!

 

(to confirm - click through that offer and link your account, buy a game, add paypal credit of 20 or more, check out, get a paypal receipt for that amount minus £5)

If your PayPal account is already linked, you can still use this offer. I used the same offer in September and just used it again

I did too, just popped £20 onto my account (for £15) , will use it tomorrow to get Xenoblade Expansion Pass

[Not Thread Owner]

Same here

[jonamok]

Here too. -£15 on PP account, +£20 in my Switch wallet. Fuckin' A.

Ooh, nice idea - I hadn’t thought of using it for DLC, for some reason.

Package from CEX today with mint copies of Puyo Tetris and Bomberman. Good customer experience all round. I guess the indestructible nature of Switch carts combined with the lack of manuals means the odds are good for getting decent condition used stuff. 

 

Gave Bomberman a quick spin against one bots, and my god I’m bad at it. 

 

That’s five Switch games in a month, and another coming for Christmas.

Did anyone actually buy skyrim? Must admit I'm tempted to buy it for the third time, and maybe even complete it! 

[Corranga]

Gone back to Rabbids after hitting some frustration with Mario and Zelda dlc and being crap at Isaac.

 

I'd saved immediately before the world 3 boss. What a time to pick out back up after a few months, loved it!

 

I bought Skyrim (actually twice this month as I got VR to, but think I'll sell that on) 2.99 plus some Nectar points was too good to refuse, but Xenoblade has shipped so Skyrim won't get touched for a while

How do you do this?

Me. I played it a ton 6 years ago or whatever on PC.  150 hours.  Never finished it.   Had more fun breaking the levelling / crafting systems and endlessly raiding caves  I was a sneaky archer cat. 

 

This time I'm a high elf, spells only, glass canon mage type.  I've already been to places I've never seen before.  This game is stupid big.  Plus the DLC is new for me.  Plus being portable is fucking MAZING.  Just a bit hard to see in the dark in the daytime.

I did. It's excellent

[Captain Kelsten]

Thanks. Dunno who I'm trying to kid, though: I've not finished botw, Odyssey and I've got xenoblade 2 coming tomorrow. Skyrim ain't gonna get a look in. 

[robdood]

I honestly don't get the allure of Xenoblade.  For the past 20 years I've tried a ton of JRPGs and they just do nothing for me.

It's not a JRPG

[Captain Kelsten]

I'm the same, but sometimes I fall for the hype and think "maybe THIS will be the one!", and then it never is.

 

It took me 20 years to finally finish Final Fantasy 7. 

 

It's also difficult to justify £50 on a game I've got sat downstairs on my laptop, and costs tuppence on every other platform. 

[robdood]

@SMD It definitely fucking looks and sounds like one. 

[mdn2]

It's definitely a JRPG. It's action based, but still a JRPG. 

[SMD]

What does JRPG mean to you then @dood?

[robdood]

Party of characters.  Characters have very set 'styles' / abilities.  Random encounters while exploring an overworld.  Combat is (effectively) turn based.  Nonsense anime story.   Levelling up / strategy is more important than skill or execution.

Honestly, to me it's a single player MMO.

They're not random and it's not turn based.

 

But sounds like you have a specific taste so yeah, you won't like it.

Yeah, but so was FFXII. I think it's more a JRPG than not a JRPG.

Heh, indeed!  I want to like them!!  I haven't had fun with one since FFVI tbh. 

 

So is Xenoblade more like Diablo/WoW in terms of having moves that work on a cooldown, etc? 

 

To be honest the scenes I've seen in trailers, and cringey anime tropes (i.e. female protagonist who seems about 16 with enormous knockers and super powers) just turn me off, these days.

I didn't mention FFXII  I wouldn't call that a JRPG in a traditional sense anyway but I'm not going to argue about it because it's clear we're not talking about gameplay only here.
