I can’t justify getting Remastered at launch
Despite owning three versions ofDark Souls, it feels inevitable that I’ll pick up the Nintendo Switch port at some point. It’s one of those rare games I can always return to and learn something new about. HadDark Souls Remasteredmade it to Switch asoriginally intended, I would’ve already gotten it by now. But with the newOctober 19 launchfor the late-to-the-party Switch version, I’m hesitant.
For starters, I couldn’t hold out; I boughtRemasteredon PlayStation 4. I don’t regret that decision in the slightest — it’s a treat to play with a lively community and hear the bells toll — but I’ve kiiind of had my fill for the foreseeable future. Barring some silly character build experimentation and PvP shenanigans, I’m well on my way to wrapping up the game (again). It’s just a matter ofslowly but surelyobtaining all of those unique weapons and a few pyromancies I foolishly missed. The end is in sight.
More importantly, October is crammed.Red Dead Redemption 2is a backlog killer in and of itself, but along with that, we’re getting:Mega Man 11,Forza Horizon 4,Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey,Call of Duty: Black Ops 4,Battlefield V, andSoulcalibur VI. I will only play a small fraction of these games in October, and I don’t know where a meaty game likeDark Soulscould possibly fit in that schedule.
Maybe I’ll change my tune after trying the network test, but right now, I doubt I will get around toDark Souls Remasteredon Switch until winter break. What about you? Have you changed your plans?
