The one thing I don't like about FromSoft games is the lack of a quest log. It's the same thing I disliked about Skyrim. Oblivion writes a journal logging every step of your quests. Skyrim would track your quest completion status, but it only had vague titles and subtitles with no details about exactly what you had done. FromSoft games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring have nothing; so if you take a break for a week or two you better hope you have a good memory or wrote things down.

It is wild to me that over the past year the #Switch2 has become my primary way to play #VideoGames after realising how little I care about the highest frame rates, resolution and graphical fidelity.

What really matters is the pick up and play experience of the console, the portability and the seamless way I can transition between docked and handheld play which no PC handheld is able to match (Steam Deck is close but still janky)

It certainly helps that Nintendo has put out so many great first party exclusives that have kept be coming back AND gotten all the third parties I want to play onboard so I just buy them there as well. My first #PS5 purchase of this year is the Ghost of Yotei DLC which just came out.

Could I play those third party games elsewhere with higher frame rates and better graphics? Yes, but I am at an age now where the experience offered by Nintendo’s console matters more than other factors.
