Hello Everyone!

It's time for this week's, "What are you playing" thread.

I wasn't able to give as much time to gaming as I thought, who knew running a community can take so much time. Even when all members are so great, and I don't have to moderate anything.

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.

Other than that, me and wife just got NSO Expansion pass, and started the Happy Home Paradise DLC, while resuming our Animal Crossing play-through. Just cleaning the long neglected island, and helping Harv build the shops.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

Just gotten Animal Crossing and wanted to play, by curiosity.

For the rest, still moving of Cult of the Lamb, I know it had a lot of updates, but peoples says it's unplayable when you have 25+ fellows, so I'm still playing to get this number of fellows before making a review. For now, it's kinda good (15 fellows).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Animal Crossing is a very fun game... if you like these kinds of game.

About Cult of the Lamb, is that for Switch version or in general?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I play the Switch version. It's supposed to have bad performances but for now, everything is good (12 fellows, 1.2.4).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've been splitting my time mostly between ToTK and Metroid Prime Remaster, feels like a pretty good combo to break things up between. Just finally picked up It Takes Two, so I'll probably see if the wife wants to game with me a bit tonight or tomorrow after she's home from work.

I'm getting ready for a local Splatoon 3 tournament in Philly this weekend, put together a quick pickup team for it. Also slowly working through Persona 5 Royal, just finished the third palace.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Still playing TTOK and Gnosia. Gnosia is a really good werewolf style game with overarching story and the KI is actually quite good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm playing Jack Jeanne, just started the game but I think I'll like it as I've been looking for a visual novel with more interactive elements than story only.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was planning on finishing BoTW so I can start play ToTK, but I literally just bought another voucher and I have no idea what new games to get with it (if any at all at the moment).

Gosh it's overwhelming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

TotK now and for the foreseeable future. Must get all the koroks! 

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I might try to finish Pikmin 3 before 1, 2 and 4 hit!

Super Mario Bros U Deluxe with friend, the princess crown powerup is a very stupid edition, why didn't they make it for all characters?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still haven't finished TotK and a couple of days ago I bought Octopath Traveler 1 & 2! It was a bit of an impulse buy but they were on sale and I've been eager to play them ever since I played the demo of the first one in 2018 I believe, I'm very excited!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All great choices.

I have heard Octopath Traveler 2 improves on 1 in every way, so better to hold off on that until you have had your fill of 1.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finished ToTK and now exploring and doing side-quests. I have a rule of no fast travel and it's so much fun

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's taking me so long with fast travel. Without fast travel, I may never play another game. It does sound fun though. I did that in Skyrim (but not in my first play-through), and enjoyed it immensely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom! I've been playing it nearly every waking moment of free time since it came out and it still feels like there is so much left to explore. I'm at 3 sages and 80 shrines, so I know I'm roughly 75% done, but there are so many discoveries that I just keep tripping over constantly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Probably some D4 and street fighter 6. Picked up Steins gate elite on sale though so might start that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

TOTK still, because once Pikmin 4 comes out I will switch to that

still haven’t even beat a single ‘regional phenomena’ yet… can’t stop myself from randomly exploring, which is honestly my favorite part of botw/totk anyway

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I play Fire Emblem Engage. Just finished a Ironman run and maybe try to beat the DLC mapps as well with my now limited army

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Someone else also mentioned in the post that they are playing Engage, and I asked them how they are liking it, and going to ask you the questions.

How are you liking FE Engage? Have you played Three Houses? Most people I know prefer Three Houses over it, and didn’t like Engage much.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Monster hunter rise was on sale so I might give it try I loved the previous game in the series. I also need to "finish" kenshi at some point

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How do you play Monster Hunter? Single player or with friends?

I have been thinking about trying Monster Hunter World with some friends, if there are enough of use who are willing to play it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FF Thearythm & Zelda TOTK on Switch, Baten Kaitos on GC, and Mario & Luigi Superstar saga on GBA (only short games of course :p). Oh and I am also playing Pokemon Stadium 2 on N64 😅.

Jokes aside, I started too many games this time, I am not generally this busy ^^.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Heh, I have sometimes done the same thing, but when I do that, I end up not finishing any of them. So, now I prefer to start only one big game.

As I mentioned in the post, I just got NSO Expansion pack, so going to try all of these, but one-by-one, not all at once 😀

Any games that you specially recommend?

BTW sorry about those test replies, I just couldn't reply to your message (or anyone's from kbin.social, finally figured out, have to select English as the language, or it won't post)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For now, Bayonetta Next is 2 and 3

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have only played the fist one too. Have to play the 2 and 3 yet. Maybe soon...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I finished Yoshi's Crafted World, finally after like 3 years of owning it. So now I've decided "welp I guess it's time to play Breath of the Wild". Enjoying it so far, I do need to get to Kirby tho... which I was planning on doing once I finished Luigi's Mansion 3, Paper Mario and Yoshi's Crafted World, oh well.

In non-Nintendo stuff, I've been playing Fallout 4 on PC because I've gotten that itch. I've only ever played in PS4, I think I got it on PC when it went on sale. It's really weird playing it with a mouse and keyboard, but it's a lot of fun building a new character and trying to figure out their personality... she feels like very sarcastic and mean but will soften up when you get to know her.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@landsharkkidd @slimerancher I enjoyed yoshi‘s crafted world a lot. And I played it together with my little ones.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been playing a ton of Diablo 4, but definitely want to find some time to hop back into Hyrule and complete some side quests in TotK. I also want to play through Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble on NSO; I never managed to pick it up when it was new on GBC, so I'm stoked that I finally get to play a game that has eluded me for so long!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's also a NSO mission to play Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble this week. For 30 coins. I usually don't care about these coins, but they are useful int buying those avatars.

Which class are you playing in Diablo 4, and how are you liking it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads up about the coins! I typically don't care either, but if it's for a game I'm checking out anyway...I mean, why not?

I've been playing Rogue and Sorceress! Both are a lot of fun; I'm using daggers with the Rogue so she's my close-combat character and my Sorc is ice, so going ranged fighter with her.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice. I only played with the Necromancer during the Beta, it was really fun, obliterating all enemies. Necromancer is (was, I guess, since apparently they nerfed it) very strong against a crowd of normal enemies, but much weaker against single strong enemy, like bosses.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm playing Octopath Traveller 2! Just grinding at this point before I start the ending :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Octopath Traveller is pretty high on my list. I never got around to playing the first one, so want to play it soon, so that I can get ready to play Octopath Traveller 2 in a few months.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.

This is me right now. I owe myself do some exploring of the depths and sky islands. Having played BOTW the surface is so familiar that I kinda went quickly around it and probably advanced way too quickly on the main quests. It's time for me to slow down and do the exploration.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I played BOTW at launch, so while I do recognize few places here and there, for me most of the land mass is new, and with the different abilities, and all the caves and wells, there is so much to explore.

Sky islands I have explored least of, and need to focus more on. Specially because there are some things you can only get on Sky islands. 😀

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, of course. I need to explore more caves and wells too. And even familiar places have changed. But I feel like I went too fast because, despite the changes, it's still very familiar. It took me no effort to get to the main villages, because I kinda knew how to get there. It felt familiar yet new.

But that familiarity kept me from exploring the new places -and the dangerous places in the surface too-. I want to focus on that now. It's gonna be fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I guess sometimes having a bad memory is also a benefit 😀
