    Fyi, that is a permanent price drop. There is a new complete edition available for €50. All the dlc has also been bundled and sold for €25 if you already have the game.

    Enjoy! Path of the Hero works right away, and is a very cool feature. Some of the other stuff will be too, and others will activate once you reach certain parts of the story.

    It's a good game. I need to get back in to it. The transitions from flying from the ground of one planet into outer space without load screens never gets old.

    If you consider Red Dead linear then I’m not sure what your definition of linear is. Yes the RE games are.

    Red Dead is certainly not linear.
    I mean, it has a plot, to follow... point to point... but there's a vast place to explore and inhabit, with lots to do in any order you like.
    It's fair to say that a player could be quite fulfilled with RDR2 and never really engage with the main plot at all, introduction aside.

    Lads, I'm in the market for a Switch, either console only, or as part of a bundle. Where's the best place to keep an eye on for deals? Would Amazon normally have any offers for Prime Dayandahalf (which starts tomorrow I think)?

    Went through the same thing recently. All I can tell you is avoid adverts and done deal etc.
    They’re selling them almost at cost price and if it’s lower there’s always omething wrong with it.
    Better just pay full price from a shop or amazon etc.

    Cheers! Yeah, I'll be going for brand new for the sake of peace of mind. Just hoping I might get lucky with a deal of some description somewhere.

    Good deal. I dont know why anyone would go for the Switch lite when a Switch can be had at this price.

    Looks good, thanks! If I can't get it cheaper via Prime Day, I'll pull the trigger on it.

    Its Prime day tomorrow and Tuesday on Amazon, no doubt there will be Switch offers like every other year.

    If you create a new account and sign up to a free trial of Prime, youre eligible for a free £10 off a £25+ spend by installing their Amazon Assistant browser addon. Valid to claim until midnight tonight.

    Yeah, I'm a Prime member already. Is this discount for new members only?

    I'd be surprised if it goes below £249 on Amazon but you never know.

    To answer my own question, I could get the discount as an existing Prime member.

    Yeah, probably not, but only a day to find out.




    Any of you have recommendations for "must have" accessories, in your opinions?

    I got a Zelda themed controller with a wire/usb. €20. I grew up with controllers having cables. Everyone said the pro controller is a must but I couldn’t shell out €80 for something I’d have to be charging all the time.

    I’d say it’s kind of unnecessary but I’m sure there are folks here better versed in the advantages and disadvantages than I

    I got an 8bitdo instead. Shaped like a snes pad with analogue sticks and does everything that the pro pad can except without nfc.

    8bitdo pads are the business, have both the SNES and Megadrive versions and they work a treat.

    I haven't got one myself, but the XC2 clone Pro controllers are supposed to be extremely good. Very close to the original, just without NFC for less than €20.

    Pal of mine on a different forum was asking about playing a switch handheld for BOTW.
    Just no. It loses so much and you can’t wven read the text or find anything and getting some koroks is impossible.

    Tangent sorry. This post made me think of it somehow

    Amazons prime day sales are pretty crappy, got a free £10 voucher for trying their new Amazon assistant browser plugin recently and was hoping to use it on a switch game/product in the prime day sales but nothing was reduced really, so i picked up the Switch pro controller for a total of €53, which is still a crazy price for a joypad but a lot cheaper than what it goes for in most places :(

    Yeah, underwhelming to say the least. The deal TitianGerm posted ended shortly after, so I missed that. I should have been more on the ball.

    Anyway, I do have about €140 worth of One 4 All gift cards I could use in whichever of PC World, Gamestop, or Argos has the best deal currently, but that feels like a waste of the cards, given the high initial prices in those outfits.
