I've been putting aside 50 bucks a paycheck for the last couple months and I've come across enough for a Nintendo Switch...

But aside from Legend of Zelda, there really isn't much for me to play on the console. Meanwhile, I've been meaning to build a half-decent PC for quite some time, and if I put another hundred bucks into the funds, I can make a pretty solid rig.

What do you guys think? Either way, I'll be putting 50 bucks away every paycheck until the Q4 of this year to buy something for myself come Christmas.

Signature goes here.
Buy a PC, if you can't see yourself playing more than one game on a console after the first few months than it's a wasted purchase.

Also if there's ever a problem with the PC you can always just fix it yourself instead of having to ship it off and wait for it to come back.

I've heard that Breath of the Wild is a great game, so I can understand why someone would buy a Switch for that. What are some other planned exclusives for the Switch that are practically guaranteed to be great? A console is going to need more than one great exclusive title to justify a purchase for most people.

in this case i disagree—that's how good breath of the wild is

but at the moment, it's pretty much all it has if you're not into goofy fighting games or rereleases of wii u games

To be honest, Breath of the Wild just looked like a copycat of what a lot of Western RPGs like Witcher 3 and The Elder Scrolls do to me. I'm probably wrong, and I'd like to be wrong.

botw shits on both of those titles

most people agree, it sets a new standard for open world games

it's not perfect, but in terms of being a copycat, it's more of a total upstaging

the world, the exploration, the atmosphere, the music, the sense of adventure that combines the wonder and mystery of zelda 1 with the grandeur and epic proportions of wind waker

it also does the majora's mask thing, where unimportant background characters are there, but they still feel like real people, and they react appropriately to a variety of in-game events (like rain)

the exploration in particular is pretty much boundless—you can go anywhere at any time, and there are no invisible walls preventing you from climbing any mountain you want to climb (until you reach the map's border)

all of the complaints you tend to hear about the game are typically a matter of personal opinion and aren't based on any objective flaw within the game's design itself

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

Well if you already have BotW and a Wii U, then build the PC. Switch doesn't really have anything worth buying the console over yet.

I also just realised that I could be playing the Switch on my flight to California and the following drives around that state. So maybe it's worth it?

I could also just buy something for my 2DS.

Are you really gonna play a video game when you're visiting somewhere?

What is your budget for a PC? Because if you can't run most games it's not worth it dude.

id be playing games when im

a) flying
b) travelling (apparently where we're staying is about an hour from LA/Anaheim/San Diego so idk)
c) chilling outside at night before i go to bed or something

and my budget is exactly what a nintendo switch would cost, plus 100 bucks.
