Looked at some reviews of that game; seems like it's full of micro transactions / gambling ... and very long loading times. So, really is this a free to play game ...

Yeah after checking reviews it’s a pass from me too. €3 saved.

SMC92Ian · 18-05-2020 09:56PM

Save the £3, it's not fun.

Ape out is 50% off

Got it for free with gold points!!

I came on to tell you all about this. It cost me 7cent after gold points, deadly. 95% discount is amazing.

Need 41GB of space.

I've read differing reports. Some saying it's basically a gambling machine game and others saying there's an actual game there. I got it with some spare points anyway. If I'd realised it was 42GB I would have passed.

Too big!

I got Mario and Sonic Olympics demo instead, it's good fun but not worth like 40 quid when you could get a similar game on your phone.

Any good RPGs that have big universes to explore? Don't care much about the gameplay if it's a sandbox. Bonus points for discount. Something like Zelda, Fallout, Pokémon, Red Dead. I need something absorbing and outdoorsy because the garden is too gloomy.

Xenoblade is out very soon, sounds like it might tick the boxes.

It seems pretty boring and not engaging. (blades)

It's a port of a free to play mobile phone game. Cut down and definitely not the full Elder Scrolls experience.

Just browsing the eshop, monster hunter for 20 Euro is so tempting, but i just can't go back to it after World.
It is definitely a bargain though.

Absolutely bang on. I've enjoyed it somewhat but it plays like Skyrim as one of those Mafia Wars social games and aspects like the combat are pathetically stripped-back.

Argos have Neverwinter Nights for €24.99 it's €49.99 on eshop might pick one up myself later

sweetie · 20-05-2020 09:50AM

Blossoms: forget this bit (the zelda clone) is €7.49 or ~€4.80 on SA store. Also picked up Wonder boy in monster land for around €11.50 seeing as I was on hols and Degrees of Seperation for around the €1.50 mark.

Subdivision Infinity DX is on sale at 50% off until June. Looks like it's similar to Starlink's space battles - has anyone played it, and if so is it worth picking up?

JohnGreenFan · 21-05-2020 08:39PM

Escapists 2 down to €4.58 on SA store, anyone know if it's worth it at that price?

Mother Russia Bleeds is €0.99 or €0.64 in Norway

Five Nights at Freddies: Help Wanted is €0.40 in the Swiss eshop right now. Definitely a mistake, €29.99 here. Currently downloading!

23-05-2020 02:32PM

I saw it on HUKD but didn't really take notice until it was posted here. Had to jump through a few hoops (turn off Switch online auto renewal, change region to Switzerland which was listed alphabetically under C for some reason) but got there in the end.

mrcheez · 23-05-2020 03:39PM

Holy crap it worked... changed over my SA account so less risk if they ban the account or some crap

I had 5 gold coins on the SA account, I assume I lost em when changing to Swiss ? No biggie of course!

Confederatio Helvetica, Latin for Swiss Confederation. Same as their number plates and what they go by internationally. Odd Nintendo did it that way though!

(Googled it before because son asked same question. Why CH for Switzerland.)

No they'll still be there if you change back to SA.

oh right, I thought the risk of switching accounts was that you lose your points.

If I switch back to Swiss account next week do I see the 3 points I earned spending the whopping €0.40 today?

EDIT: Ah sorry I think you just lose credit on your account, that's fine I only ever pay the game price so credit is always 0.

I'm guess the price was meant to be 42 franc which is roughly €39

It's a jump-scare horror thing about working night-shift security in a restaurant whose animatronic performing robots are...let's say malfunctioning. I have the first one in the series on Steam, but despite liking the idea the actual game didn't grab me.

Here's a video with gameplay footage, if you're wondering and haven't bought it yet:

Played FNAF last night and it's actually pretty good, and lots of levels in it.

I found using the R/L buttons to look right/left made it a bit more tense than using the stick to turn your head which felt a bit uncomfortable.

Definitely worth €0.40

What The Golf is 25% off on Launch. Pretty fun game, and zany as hell. Takes inspiration from loads of other games too. Worth the €14.99 for my kids laughs alone

It's free on Apple Arcade if anyone has that and wanted to try it out first. Played a little bit of it a while back and was surprisingly good fun!

Mr E · 25-05-2020 10:57AM

FNAF is back to full price this morning (in case anyone was thinking of going for it). About €40.
