Hello Everyone!

I finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Took about 90 hours, and still have a lot left to do, but wanted to find out the full story, so finished the main quest. I liked the story a lot more than BotW. If you have already finished it, what did you think about the story? (without giving away any spoilers). Going to keep playing this as my primary game for a while though, while also thinking about which game to start next.

Secondary games:

  • Finished Marvel's Avengers. Nothing new to say about it. It could've been a very good game, if not for Live Service elements.
  • Almost finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. I am at stage 14, so just couple of them left. Will check the trophies after finishing the game and see if I want to platinum it. Only playing it with my kid, so going a bit slowly.
  • Started The Order 1886, it's a very small games, 4-5 hours at most, but didn't get much time to play after starting it, would try to finish it. The games holds up really well visually and gameplay vise.
  • I have committed to Monster Hunter: World now. Going to finish it, no matter how long it takes. Until now, I was only playing it with friends, but would try to do some optional stuff solo too, now that TotK is finished.

That's all for now. What about all of you? What are you playing? And what do you plan to play next? And how are you enjoying them?

Still playing totk, 175 hours so far. I need to do Gerudo’s quest and explore both desert areas and that’s it, finally I’ll move on to something else, probably Diablo 4 or something on Gamepass, haven’t decided yet.

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

Similar hours, I did Gerudo but skipped Goron area entirely so far. Wrapping a couple side quests (just finished the Laurelin Village water stuff).

Been using Heros Path to see areas I've missed and exploring but I'm starting to dial back. Decided I wanna leave a few things untouched for when I do a DLC re-play in a year or so.

There is still quite a bit of story after the Gerudo's temple. If you keep that pace, it would be 250+ hours before you are done. Or just 180 - 185 if you ignore everything and stick to the main mission.

I would suggest taking your time.

I think I'm close to the end of Bowser's Fury, so I may be able to finish that in a sitting or two. I'm also playing Shredder's Revenge in a co-op setting, and the DLC announcement was a good reminder to get back into that (think we're also nearing the end of the story). And there's a Splatfest, so I feel somewhat obligated to choose a team and play a little, though I've definitely been on a Splatoon 3 break lately.

I don't play Splatoon 3, but I am rooting for Mint Chip!

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

Booo, down with Mint Chip! Up with... whichever team I end up picking. (Maybe even Mint Chip!)

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

Not picking Mint Chip is a banable offense FYI

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

Bowser's Fury was really fun, how are you enjoying it?

Good luck with TMNT and Splatoon 3!

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

Thank you! Bowser's Fury is a fun experience, and the open-world concept is a cool one. I actually bought this Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury pack on the strength of Bowser's Fury alone, after reading people speculate that it might be the future of the 3D Mario series. I'm not sure how it would scale to a full game, though... I guess it might also be a little less "whoa dude" in a post-Mario-Odyssey world, since some of those levels were almost such environments in their own right (desert level comes to mind here, with its town area and other areas). The

spoilerongoing boss battle
is equal parts cool and annoying, with the way it gets less avoidable as the game progresses. But on the whole, it's good stuff... I haven't even looked at the main title yet, and I feel like I'm close to getting my $40's worth.

What has the TMNT experience been like for you? I'm a little frustrated at all the button-combo moves I can't seem to memorize, but that might just be a me-thing. Still having fun with this one, even with the struggles.

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

Yeah, I don't think next 3D Mario will be open world like this. They would need to make a world almost as big as Breath of the Wild or it will feel a step back from how much we had in Odyssey. Other than that, loved Bowser's Fury though, and felt the same about the spoilery part. It started as really cool, and started to lend a bit towards annoying, but from what I recall I enjoyed it till the end.

Mario 3D World is also really fun, I had never played it before, so enjoyed playing with my kid.

Well, about TMNT, I don't even try to remember all the moves. There are two types of attack: normal and super, and then there is jump, and dodge. You can attack, or jump and attack or dodge and attack. Where attack can be normal attack or super. That's all I remember and that's all I do 😀

Congratulations in finishing Tears of the Kingdom! To me, the story was definitely an improvement from the first game, with more memorable and epic moments.

As for me, last week I broke down and got myself a Steam deck! I already installed several games to try out, with intention to give Ni No Kuni a real shot this time. Last time I played the game I dropped it after several hours because I found combat boring, let's see if this time will be different.

On Nintendo Switch I am slowly getting through The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Currently I am on case 4 of the first game.

And lastly, on PS5, I am playing Forspoken. I finished main story last weekend, and right now I am just roaming the world and doing side activities.

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

Thanks!

Steam deck is a great device, but I already have so many games to play, getting another "console" isn't going to help with that. And since you also have PS5, take a look at Chiaki for SteamDeck, to remote play PS5 games. Learned about it from @[email protected] , our resident mod and creator of [email protected], you can ping him for any help related to that.

Ni No Kuni is a very fun game, played the first one PS3. A much better Pokémon game than some of the newer Pokémon game.

How are you liking The Great Ace Attorney? I haven't started the series yet, but going to get the Phoenix Wright games soon.

Same question, how are you liking Forspoken? I liked the demo, but the full game review haven't been that great. Though some of the people I know who have played the game have enjoyed it.

Oh yeah this is the Nintendo sub, but anyhows: Arknights has a new event and Fate/Grand Order has released the final part of it's latest story chapter, I am looking forward to playing through the story in those two mobile games as soon as I have time.

Then after that possibly try to find the rest of the armor pieces in Tears of the Kingdom, unless I get too tempted to get started on Master Detective Archives: Rain Code instead.

Splatoon 3. The mint chip atrocity ends here and now. No more will our children suffer at the hand of such degeneracy.

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

How dare you!? No blaspheming against Mint Chip!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Almost done with Pikmin, only a few remaining ship parts to collect and I have plenty of days to do it.

Edit: down to the last part but I'll finish it off in the morning.

Minecraft Story Mode. My kids were too young to remember it the first time so I've been playing that with them. Not long started so I hope to finish episodes 1 and 2 this weekend.

I took a break from Zelda to play Final Fantasy 16, went back and I finished TOTK as well. Taking a break from Switch for a bit to play my group Ironman account on old school RuneScape some more. Then I’ll probably start to work through the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters.

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

How did you like Final Fantasy 16? Finished it? I am hearing great things about it, also that it's more of an action game than RPG. What do you think about that?

I played RuneScape for a little while, or at least some game that I believed to be RuneScape, it was ages ago. Really interesting to find out that people are still playing it.

Which Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster are you going to start with? Any favourite? or going to start from the 1st one and play them all?

[–] 07Chess 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am a massive Final Fantasy fanboy so, my totally unbiased opinion, it is a masterpiece. The story made me cry like 6 times. It’s excellent story telling. The game play is engaging. Not terribly challenging but it could be for folks less familiar with action games. There are ways to decrease the difficulty on a few different axis by equipping certain accessories. The side quests can be a little fetchy but I think even the worst ones add some depth to the world. There’s plenty of optional bosses too. It’s my personal game of the year although Tears of the Kingdom is probably more deserving overall for more broad appeal and polish.

There are two versions of Runescape - old school and RuneScape 3. RS3 is the older of the two. It’s been the natural continuation of the game with a controversial overhaul of the combat system to make it more traditionally mmo adjacent. Old school started in 2013 from a back up copy of the game pre-2007 when the change occurred. Jagex now runs both simultaneously. Old school is the game you would remember if you played back in the day. It’s bigger than ever. At any given time there are well over 100k folks playing. Regular new content and updates. It’s amazing.

I’ll probably start with FF1 and go from there. I’ve played them all before in other versions so I might as well go in order.

Breath of the Wild. Tears of the Kingdom is fine, but I prefer Breath of The wild.

I didn't touch my Switch for a few weeks, so I'll be catching up by playing Splatoon 3 (splatfest) and some MK8 in between (wave 5).

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

What are you going to choose in splatfest? And why is it going to be Mint Chip?

Skyward Sword HD! The visuals and dungeons are so fun. Also, it turns out it's the only Zelda game that's HD and 60FPS. I hadn't realized this before. I really hope they remake other Zeldas.

@slimerancher we've been playing TotK for the same amount of hours every week 😆 I'm at 90 hours now, but haven't advanced the story much since last week. After getting all the dragon tears and the Master Sword I've kept exploring the map and I went back to the depths to explore more, find some armor pieces and follow one of the story quests related to the Yiga in the depths. I still haven't done at least two temples, the Zora and the Gerudo ones. Maybe I should get going with that...

I've also played the new Mario Kart 8 DLC. It made me nostalgic of playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U with friends! I need to organize a Mario Kart night soon.

Pikmin 4 should arrive a week today, so that'll be next I guess!

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

Haha, that's interesting. After finishing the game I have only done about 41% of the game. So still need to do a lot.

How are you liking the MK8 DLC? Any favourite new tracks?

Just TotK. The only other game I play on Switch is Chicken Horse with friends. Unfortunately, I have a thesis to finish.

I had forgotten about this last week, but I actualy had Trails into Reverie preordered!

Got it early in this week and started playing. Didn't have as much time as I'd like, but I managed to reach Act 2, and just got to the Reverie Corridor.

Really want to play more as C since his party is the "new" one, but early-game is mostly focused on Lloyd and Rean.

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

Ah cool! I have only played the first part of Trails in the Sky. Don't play on PC much so the second part keep getting delayed. Hoping it would end up coming to Switch. And I want to play the whole series from start, so not playing any of the later games until I have finished Trails in the Sky 😀

How are you enjoying the game? Have you played the rest of the series?

Yeah I shelved TotK about 2 weeks ago I'd say. 90 hours as well.

Nothing on Switch at the moment. Debating starting Pikmin as I've never played.

Working my way through FF16 and Batman Arkham City outside of Nintendo consoles.

Only 90?? I had about 230 in when I finally dove down that final chasm. Now I don't know what to do with myself.

Splatoon 3. Maybe once strawberry wins, people will understand that it's just better than plain vanilla or whatever mint choco is supposed to be X)

Where are the mods! Someone ban this guy!

This weekend I'll play the new splatfest in splatoon 3. I made a mistake last week and thought the splatfest was then, and I spent about 5 minutes in the game wondering where the splatfest was. Felt so dumb.

Congrats on finishing the story of Zelda. I finished the last temple yesterday and I will finish the story next week.
