This post made me look up the game. This coupled with the fact I have been obsessed with ancient history lately all led to my hangover purchase saturday morning of Civ 5 complete edition. I have never played any of the series and I haven't played a strategy type game since those Age of Empires (2 i think?) that came with cereal boxes when we were kids!!!! aha

I have not stopped playing it every second I haven't been at work or out all week. It's becoming a sickness! I am completely addicted. My partner is away most of the weekend and I fear I will be just lying in a pile of filth in my underwear not having moved when she gets back Sunday....



Yeah it's crazy addictive. You're suffering from "Just one more turn syndrome" :) Which civ have you been playing with? I usually play with Mao because as everyone knows I'm a communist :laugh:

From what I have seen they look pretty much the same, probably better on Wii U as it was meant for it rather than the switch. 1080p on switch but there is frame drops everynow and then, on the Wii U it is meant to be smoother.

Just got back from picking up the switch and Breath of the Wild, Big W was the cheapest as they are the only ones who do a bundle, $519. 

that makes almost zero sense you think it would play better on the switch

From what I have found out, Zelda on switch while in dock mode/running though the tv can output to 900p, while in handheld mode it can output to 720p. It runs smoother while in hand held mode at 720p, while at 900p there are frame dips in congested areas. Wii U version can only run at 720p, hence why it runs smooth just like it does in portable mode for the switch.

Hope that makes sense.



makes more sense thank you

on another note i am so excited for the new mass effect though i do have issues with it, i want too many games though but my focus is prey and mass effect

Yeah, thing to remember with BotW is it is first and foremost a Wii U ported game.

I've only ever noticed a frame dip once when docked in over 20+ hours of play so far.

Be very interested to see how games developed from the group up for the switch go in 1080p.

I have seen a couple trailers, that was enough for me to know it will be good. I am tempted to buy that ea access on xbox one to play it early for 10 hours, not sure yet though.

Also I am returning my Nintendo switch this weekend for a refund, it is faulty lol

what is wrong with it? i know what you mean i am so excited for mass effect but i will wait, the sad thing about the switch is Nintendo has always been very reliable

Smart man, no point just sticking to one console, I bought a Ps4 Pro just for the exclusives as well. 

The ones I got it for were

Last of Us (Remaster)
Last of Us 2
Beyond Two Souls (Remaster)
Heavy Rain (Remaster)
Until Dawn
Uncharted Series (Remaster)
Uncharted 4
Infamous - Second Son
Horizon - Zero Dawn
Days gone
God of War
Detroit Become Human

There are many others but these games I love or look forward to.

I buy mulitplat games for my Xbox one and exclusives for the Ps4, for the Mass Effect Series I started out on Xbox 360 and want to keep them all on the same system so will be getting Andromeda for Xbox one. 

thank you, to me console wars are ridiculous for the first generation i played was playstation vs nintendo 64 i dont know which console i prefered, for the 2nd generation i liked each console best at one time, for the next generation i only had an xbox 360......well about 12 different xbox 360's that console did love some red ring of death and currently i only have an xbox one but saving up for a ps4, thank you for the list of games i have heard infamous is like prototype which is a fun game, the issue with until dawn is i have watched tonnes of lets play's of that game so i kinda ruined it for myself.

i will check out the rest though obviously the first step is saving enough money for a playstation 4 or entering an eb games with a bucket and putting the bucket on the person working there and stealing one i might do that instead

Well I didn't pick at first so was given Carthage. Finished the game with a points victory coz I really didn't know much about the game so wasn't going down a path and didn't really know about victory types till i did some research well into the game etc 

Started another game as Rome (had to aha) but will try Mao next then.

Been watching the series Marco Polo which half makes me want to play as the Mongols but don't think they would be as fun. I do choose "order" as my ideology though ha ha
