Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there's still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn't went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven't played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That's all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

TOTK if I have the time. By far the best game I've played since BOTW.

[–] Ace_Addams@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been playing mostly Tears of the Kingdom and Fallout 76

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How are you liking Fallout 76? I am a big Fallout fan, but after the abysmal 76 launch, and all the memes, I have stayed away from it.

Have the improved the game? And how's the gameplay now?

I am still playing Tears of the Kingdom when I have time to play and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, this game is worth it. Keep enjoying!

[–] pyyp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm also still on tears of the kingdom. My current goal is to finally do the airways to get the faeries to open up so i can upgrade my armor. Don't have so much free time these days, so I expect that to last me until super Mario wonder comes out.

[–] fax_of_the_shadow@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Splitting my time between Cassette Beasts on Switch and D4 and FFXVI on ps5. Cassette Beasts is a great palate cleanser between heavier games.

[–] fruity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

About to finish 13 sentinels & got spiritfarer and both portals in queue.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Spiritfarer and Portal 1 & 2 are all great games. Have fun!

How are you liking 13 Sentinels? It's on my wish list.

[–] fruity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If you're into the (primarily sci-fi) story, it's really good. Bit confusing gameplay-wise in the beginning, but clears up quickly and them becomes confusing story-wise, which actually is kinda the point. I liked it a lot, even the battles which seem to be the part most complained about. I would however suggest picking it up on sale and not paying full price as it's not exactly replayable.

[–] Vatw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Still ToTK. I started strong when it first came out, but haven't had as much time until recently.

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I keep playing TotK and I'm also 65 hours in. I'm taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven't even been to the south west part of Hyrule!

I'll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.

I'm supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!

[–] Falmarri@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have TOTK to play, but I don't have the attention span for video games anymore. I still have another voucher as well. Probably get fire emblem, but no idea how much I'll play either.

[–] hoodlem@hoodlem.me 1 points 2 years ago

More Pokémon Violet for me. I’ve finished the game but I find raiding relaxing.

[–] Grangle1@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I thought the boss of the seventh Palace would be the final boss of the base game in Persona 5 before getting to the extra content. I was wrong. It took me until last night to actually get to the real final boss of the base game (and I luckily beat it on the first try... The mini-boss gauntlet before it was harder than the boss itself, lol). So only now did I actually start the extra semester in Royal. That said, I ordered Tears of the Kingdom this morning and I'll probably get to that sometime this week or next, finally. Excited to start playing it after seeing so much about how it actually lives up to its hype.

[–] fruity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Persona 5 turned out to be MUCH longer than I expected, and I expected it to be long. My wife kept laughing at me announcing 'I am going to finish it soon, it's almost the end' and then the end didn't happen. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed it all, great game!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Congratulations on beating the main game! Now you have until you recieve the copy of TotK to finish the Royal content!

What did you decide about P5 Tactica? Going to give it a try, or skip it?

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wolfenstein, Half Dead, & Ray Man!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Which ones? The first Wolfenstein and Half Dead? And what about Rayman? Playing them all on PC?

I've paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I'll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time...

Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.

[–] Zed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Still playing Tears of The Kingdom myself, 225 hours in I have one last temple and a few side quests here and there so I'm almost done with it and I have no idea what I'll be doing next lol.

[–] Yazer@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just like last week, minesweeper for me. Great classic.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Minesweeper is a pretty good game. Which one are you playing? The one included with Windows? Or some other version?

I went back and restarted Metroid Prime Remastered. Such an incredible game, and it's so much fun going through it a second time now that I'm more familiar with the game. I'm navigating much more confidently and creatively. Such a good title

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I need to take a break from Zelda and go back to Metroid Prime and find more stuff so I can get a better ending 😬

[–] fatmajimboo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I am concentrating on tackling my backlog! This week I’m prioritizing Varriable Barricade, Amnesia memories and maybe a few routes from The crimson flower

[–] Sdot@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Borrowed a couple games from a mate to see if I wanna buy them myself. Luigi's Mansion 3 is a no, but will be buying Mario 3D + Browser's Fury after payday. Also, usually fit in some time on Dorfromantik in the evenings or when stressed.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why did you like Luigi Mansion 3?

Dorfromantik looks fun. Is it as relaxing as it looks?

[–] Sdot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just found it very slow. A lot of unskippable cut scenes. Yes! So relaxing.

Patient gamer, I'm still on BotW. Turning over every rock, checking every tree and puddle.

I'm still mostly playing TOTK. I completed the main story earlier this week, and normally that would kind of trigger a switch in my brain to lose all interest in side quests, but somehow it's managed to keep me interested.

The direct reminded me that I have barely started Mario + Rabbids Kindgom Battle, so been playing that a bit too.

Then to wind down I've been getting closer and closer to completing the all the normal Picross puzzles in Picross S2

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, completing the game generally make me lose the interest in these things too, so I am trying to do all the side stuff between the main quests.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a great game, and the Donkey Kong DLC is alse pretty fun. Changes up things a bit to keep you interested, and also increases the difficulty a bit.

Picross is an all time fun game. I always have a Picross game going on, takes me ages to finish them though. I am still at Picross S4, about halfway done. I used to do Normal puzzles first, then Mega, and so on, but now I am doing all together. A page of Picross, then a page of Mega, and any Clip Picross as they appear. Keeps the game more interesting.

[–] VoxAdActa@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If this anhedonia streak continues, I'll probably dick around for an hour or two on Guild Wars 2, drop an hour into Vermintide II, maybe load up an emulator and play a couple of SNES games, then ultimately end up listening to a podcast while I play spider solitaire.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of all these words, I only know enough about SNES and Spider Solitaire to comment on them. 😀 So, what podcasts are you listening these days? Anything interesting to add to my list.

[–] VoxAdActa@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I stay on top of Last Podcast on the Left (except sometimes I'll skip the UFO episodes and come back to them later... they can get a little silly), and fill in the gaps with Behind the Bastards and Scam Goddess.

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm 75% of the way through Advance Wars 2 (from the Advance Wars Reboot-Camp remake). I normally get ~3 levels done per play session, but the last stage of Yellow Comet was more difficult than usual. I'm thinking these last stages are just harder than all the earlier stages.

I might try a hard-mode run, or maybe I start playing competitive (erm... casual-level competitive. I dunno about beating the grandmasters in this game but I kinda wanna see where people are).

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was very hyped for Advanced Wars, but then they delayed it, and then released it couple of weeks before Zelda, so haven't gotten a chance to play it yet. Glad to see people are enjoying it.

Competitive can be interesting, though I doubt I would be hold off against the pros.

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. I prefer the GameCube and Wii era because my childhood.

Etrian Odyssey at last, and Noob the factionless on ROG Ally + A Wonderful Life on ps5 later!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How is Noob the Factionless? It looks interesting, but I have no idea about the IP, and the trailer didn't seems to explain much game play either.

Also, how are you finding ROG Ally? Heard there were lots of issues with the launch?
