A lot of Switch games seem to be on the steep side.  When I saw 30 for Cave Story I thought it was that 3DS remake...  nope looks like the original game.

I remember playing through much of the first Velocity.  Then when the second one came around, eventhough they added platforming elements, I couldn't be bothered.

oh dear.  now I feel like I am horrible at the game.  I hit 100% with over 500 deaths.

Yep, i am not going to disagree with you there

I agree about the difficulty.  It is my biggest gripe with the game, I think the last time Quarble told me I was close to 200 deaths, if he is actually being truthful.

The bosses all are fair, but most of them took a handful of tries to find out thier patterns.

As I am listening, I cannot believe that I forgot The witcher 2.  It's one of my favorite games, but it took me a while to finally play it.  I ought it day 1 on the 360 and booted it up.  I didn't even get through the tutorial section.   A couple years later I did not knLow what I wanted to play and booted it up again and everything clicked.

I have the book as well.  Can't wait to read it

retronauts did a neat episode about FF V.  Their 'expert' guest wrote a book on FF V from Boss Fight Books.  It sounds fantastic form a mechanics standpoint, but only okay on the story side.

It is a little unfair to say that BotW is not for me.  I usually avoid openworld games, and the ones I do play I typically fall off by the 40 hour mark.

i finished up the shrines in the Korok forest.  Have not pulled the master sword yet.

I normally would do what you are doing and supplement my time with indies, but there are so many AAA games that I really want to play from 2017.   Mario being at the top of the pile.

I used the Gale power to finish off whatever towers I had left.

i decided to put the game down for a little while.  I put 40 hours into the game, got all the towers, 50+ shrines, but only finished two of the beasts.  I am so conflicted about the game because I don't think it's for me, yet I cannot stop playing it....  which is why I had to force myself to play something else.
