Hello Everyone,

This week passed way too quickly. It seems like I didn't do much. There aren't any significant updates form my side.

Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn't. So, no changes here.

In non-nintendo gaming, still playing the same games, without much change:

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
  • Monster Hunter: World
  • Marvel’s Avengers

For Marvel's Avengers, the game started strong, but went downhill quickly due to all the Live Service elements. It could've been a fun game if they had stuck with single player. I am near the end of main campaign, and will delete it as soon as I complete it. Probably just need 2-3 hours more.

That's all from my side, what about you guys? What are you playing? And how are you enjoying it?

Tears of the Kingdom FTW! Just... So beautiful

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's an amazing game! 💖

Edit: Forgot to ask, how far along are you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Early, just got impa into the first "temple" that shows all the dragon tears! Trying to figure out where to go next after I mark everything in the map - somehow! You?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, I am near the end of main quest, have spent dozens of hours on side quests and exploration too. You are still in the beginning so not going to spoil anything. 😀 But if you want any information or help, you can hit me up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely will!! Is there any Tears of the Kingdom oriented /c here or somewhere else?

Still working through ToTK tbh ngl. That game just has SO MUCH CONTENT.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It does! And most of it's optional, so if someone doesn't want to explore it, they can just ignore it.

How far along are you? And how many hours have you spent?

Same with TotK. Trying to finish all side quests and getting all armor before the final boss

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Since I'm going on vacation tomorrow, I ended up finally beating the boss today, but I do want to find all the armor pieces too yeah... Will see if I keep going after my trip, or if I end up being distracted by other games. (Which is why I usually try to avoid beating the end bosses in games before I've done all/most of the sidequests)

I got the Master Detective Archives: Rain Code collector's edition waiting for me (new game by the Danganronpa team)

You’re not alone on TotK. I’m still working on it too. Been taking my time to enjoy it, and the number of hours of gaming time isn’t what it once was.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this isn't the kind of game you should rush through. As for gaming time, that's the issue with growing up, but the good thing is, whenever you have time, there are games waiting for you.

I've been mainly playing Zelda and ignoring main quests as much as I can. But this weekend I'll play the new splatfest in splatoon

I keep playing TotK. I've done a few more shrines, caves and got the Master Sword.

Also, for some reason I got Sonic Origin Plus and finished the first Sonic game. I grew up with Nintendo and only rarely played Sonic at friends' house. It's not the first time I play it, but definitely the first time I finish it. I feel like this game had so much potential, but the level design is pretty bad, and ends up being the poor man's Mario. It's still fun at times, but I hope Sonic 2, Knuckles and CD get better.

Very much same. Though not exactly that I could not, more like I do not exactly want to. I am pretty advanced on the plot, so now i am exploring the depths, finding side quests, seeing caves, finding wells. This game is endless.

And maybe I should start helping the korok find their friend, bless them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I can understand that. I was in the same boat, but as I mentioned last week, I reached a point where I want to know how the story proceeds. If you had seen all the Tears, you may know what I am talking about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think i know what you mean. I think on the main storyline I only have the final boss left, but I feel so unprepared.

I’m just on the cusp of beating Metroid Prime. Amazing game if you haven’t played it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@irishbreakfast @slimerancher I just beat the remaster earlier today. It was a really fun game. I hope Prime 2 and Prime 3 get similar remasters someday.

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

Yeah same! I heard they might just be ported and touched up like Pikmin 1+2, but I hope because the first remaster was such a hit the other two get the same treatment!

I haven't actually. I was playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 when they shadow dropped it, and now playing Tears of the Kingdom. It's very high on my list though. Will probably play it within this year.

Have you played the original? Or remake is the first time you are experiencing it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Oh nice! I’ve never played a Xenoblade game and have been really curious about 3. And Prime is what I jumped to after TOTK.

I played the original Prime in high school, but just did not have the skills or awareness to get anywhere with it, so while I remember it vaguely, this might as well be the first time I’ve played it haha.

I am almost done with Pokemon Ultra Sun and will be starting Signalis this weekend; I don’t usually play a lot of horror games anymore but this one reminds of me the older Resident Evil and Silent Hill games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was really enjoying Signalis then got stuck at the first boss (I'm a pretty shit gamer). Thanks for the reminder, definitely gonna give it another go this weekend!

I am also not a fan of horror games, but keeping an eye on Signalis. Do share how you like it.

I want to try out the Pikmin 4 demo and finally launch Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. I bought it ages ago, but haven't even tried it yet. I have a disgusting backlog. But this weekend, I want to give my Switch some love.

Finishing up Pikmin 2 endgame before 4 comes out in a couple weeks

Nice! How long was Pikmin 2? And are you going to play Pikmin 3 or already played it before?

Mario Kart Wii. The GameCube/ Wii era was the best imo.

Also slowly wrapping up TotK, trying to savor it as I wrap up final shrines and things. Besides that I've started another run of Minish Cap in the virtual GBA which is a blast. Messing around with Infinite Fusion has also been really fun

Probably Tetris 99 (my go to "I just want to zone out and play" game), and I might pick TotK back up (I'm really early in the game). I bought The House in Fata Morgana last month and haven't started it yet, so I've got that for an option too.

I just finished up with TOTK today. I still have a bunch of minor side quests, but after 175 hours and squeezing as much as I could out of it I think I'm good for now. I decided to go for all the shrines and all the bigger quests.

I have no idea what to do now though. I've got a number of games to play but TOTK felt like a black hole. It absorbed my attention and I feel like anything I play next will feel mediocre in comparison lol.

I'm thinking I might play splatoon 3 finally. Or jump over and try some xbox gamepass games for a bit. I also want to try persona as I haven't played those before. But I am not sure if I'm ready for another 100+ hour experience yet haha

At some point I need to finish monster hunter world iceborne dlc and I would like to play rise. But I have to get in the mood to play those kinds of games I suppose. I find if I get stressed IRL about various life stuff I gotta switch to more casual games for a while.

I've been enjoying power wash simulator when I want to just turn my brain off

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

i'm in the same boat, i was burned out after completing the main story and shrines so i moved on to the backlog but every day i feel the urge to just jump back in. i'm just waiting at this point if dlc will be anounced in the sept direct to figure out when i do want to jump back in.

Pikmin 2 will be my go-to most if this weekend if i get the chance to game, trying to finish it before pikmin 4 drops. It's also a community day weekend for Pokemon Go so will head to a park with some friends for a while to catch some squirtles.

Just bought the Escapist 2 because my niece wanted to play it with me online. In all honesty I am not that interested in it but it was 5€ on discount, so it's not a huge loss 😅
