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?

I'm still immersed in the world of TotK, squeezing in gaming sessions whenever I find a spare moment. Surprisingly, despite investing a considerable amount of time, I'm "only" 40 hours into the game.

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

Haha, I had an opposite experience. I thought I am not playing it at all, might be 20-30 hours at most, then checked and was at 50 hours. The game feels immersive so don't even realize how much time I have put into it.

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

More TotK for me, with a high level of avoiding the main questline.

Since I finished TotK last week (got 100 hours out of the game), I decided to take a break from it for a while and instead focus on my switch backlog.

I'm about to finish a game called In Other Waters. What I initially thought would be just a chill exploration game became a really immersive narrative experience with turn of events which really caught me off guard. I'm definitely interested in more games from the developer, I heard great things about their subsequent game Citizen Sleeper.

Other than that, I started playing Blaster Master Zero 2. I played the first one last year and really enjoyed my time with it, and the sequel so far seems to be as good as the first one.

Outside of Nintendo ecosystem, I'll also probably boot up PS5 for a few hours and try to get more trophies out of Unravel 2.

Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that

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

Great couple of games. Both are on my list, would like to play them soon.

How did you like them both?

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

Really good. I could barely put tunic down at some points.

Prepare to die a lot in both.

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

Unsighted! I saw it on the hidden gems section of the e-shop yesterday.

I'm waiting until my wife beats BotW before diving into TotK

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

ToTK, spending a lot of time not doing the main quests.

Finishing up FFVII Remake Intermission before I start FFXVI as the other game I'm juggling in the not-much free time I have had lately.

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

I'm desperately trying to find time for TotK. I tried going to (end the game) and had to leave because I needed materials and meals. I managed to get extremely far in the game but work made progress impossible for the last two weeks...

I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.

I am also playing zelda, but been jumping back and forth between it and Pokemon snap 64

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

How are you enjoying both games? And how far along are you in Zelda?

Also, if you care about it, someone recently created a community for sharing "snaps" from Pokemon Snap. https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] (Making a relative link doesn't seem to be working at my end for some reason, so just shared the direct link)

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

Slowly collecting all the rare crops in Story of Seasons AWL. I wish I started earlier cause they make good money.

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

I didn't even know there is anything like rare crop in Story of Seasons.

How are you enjoying the game?

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

Yeah there's a ton it's just really tedious if you want a lot unless you start early and use the seed maker. I'm still addicted to the game tho especially since my son is now a teenager and picking his career

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

Ah, okay. Got it. Thanks! Though I am not sure if you are talking about your actual son, or in-game one. 😀

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

I'm moving four hours across the country but I've been playing paper Mario 64 again on nso and having a blast. Basically killing time waiting for pikmin 4 !

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

Road Trip! Have fun!

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

I think I've decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn't get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it'll be nice to focus on that for a bit.

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

Played a lot of Mr. Suns Hat Box until I ran into a bug that sometimes spawns an invisible wall art the start of some levels. Since the invisible wall is effectively a death sentence for the character, and most of the game is playing with the risk/reward of character building, I'm just done with it.

I've also been enjoying Mini Motor Racing X. It's a fantastic port.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Tears. I play games for a long time, so it’ll be another couple months with it.

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

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

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

The community is fantastic for the most part, we seen to help each other which I love. There's a lot more things to do now, it's still kinda buggy but still fun. They added NPCs which makes things so much better. My advice is find a friend or two on the game and explore the world together. If you have a playstation I'd be willing to play some time.

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.

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

I've been playing TotK since release, and it finally feels like I'm approaching the end of the main quest. I'm not quite ready to be done yet, though: I wanna at least complete all shrines!

I plan to continue playing original Metroid prime and start to play Super Mario Galaxy again.

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