When I played Breath of the Wild, I would get caught up in exploring and had to force myself at times to go back to the main "story." I put 80+ hours into the game between July and December 2018 and beat the game but could have easily put in another 20-40 hours. The game is just so BIG. Set goals for yourself, like finding X number of more shrines so you can get X number of permanent upgrades and then do a Divine Beast. That kind of thinking helped keep me on track. But however you do it, you gotta play that game, man! Rumor is that maybe Nintendo will announce the sequel for this fall to compete with the new consoles but hey, who knoweth the mind of Nintendo? Still, the sooner you get through it, the better you'll feel about yourself.

I know! Maybe if you check back in here tomorrow... 

I wish this game would get some love. It was so good. And yeah, the Wild West setting was a nice change of pace for this kind of game.

Mario Kart 7 really turned the series around after what I felt was a pretty terrible game with MK Wii. And MK 8 was better in every way. I have the most nostagia for MK DS, I think, but this one is objectively the best in the series.

I love getting trades but I do not like single issues. They're tough to sort and store and there are just so dang many of them.

I'm a big fan of things that begin and then eventually come to an end and are over, rather than going on forever...but it was too soon for Mega Man. There were so many more great stories to tell 

I haven't heard of that series but I'll have to look it up.

Personally I prefer the contained levels of the Galaxy games but I had a lot of fun with Odyssey. Like you I didn't do the postgame stuff but I'll come back to it sometime...probably.

The problem with trying to build a library based on aggregate scores is that something might be objectively good but it just does not click with you. Telltale's Walking Dead game is universally loved but when I started playing it I did not enjoy it at all. Way too stressful. Wrong kind of stress for me to enjoy playing it (for example). But also some games with serious problems can really resonate with you even if it doesn't review well. Some people love the "Tales of" series but I doubt any of those games crack the top 10%. I love the idea of having a physical library of games but it really needs to be tailored to what you know you like (and I'm sure you have a good idea about that by now), not by what the internet has come to agree is the best. That's my 2 cents anyway.

Dude, that Batman sprite looks great.
