What are you playing this weekend? 6/9 (lemmy.world)

Hello Everyone!

Let's start a first ever, "What are you playing this weekend?".

I am still completely enthralled by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I am about 50-60 hours in, and still have lots of explore. I don't want to mention anything that might be a spoiler, but I think I should be around 60% done with the story. I am on media blackout about the game, so I don't actually know how long it actually it is, but this is what it seems like. Of course, if I go by total amount of Shrines, or Koroks, I am probably just 10-20% of the total.

All my other games are on pause, probably not going to resume anything else until I have finished Zelda.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

I'm still playing Breath of the Wild because I never finished it on Master Mode. I can't believe I waited so long for the sequel, yet the release snuck up on me! In a way, it kind of prolongs the excitement. Thanks for holding back the spoilers!

How are you liking Tears of the Kingdom in general? Better? The same? Complementary? From the trailers, I was worried it might become a bit gimmicky, but BOTW also adds a good level of trust for me.

Besides that, I literally just finished my first real gaming PC build yesterday! I didn't even have time to do install anything, so work today felt like I was a kid having to go to school on Christmas afternoon. I'll soon install Star Wars Battlefront 2, one of the few games my non-gamer wife ever binged, that way we can play together.

Not feeling motivated to try anything new, so will continue rotting playing Mario Kart 🥲

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

It happens. There are times when you don't want to play anything new, and Mario Kart is kind of an eternal game.

Do you have the booster pack or just playing the original courses?

Disco Elysium. Porting a game with such a PC centric interface to Switch was an interesting choice, but I'm glad that they went with it. Fantastic game!

Probably going to be playing Steins gate elite, was able to get it on sale.

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

I have heard so much about Steins gate, but was never able to get into it.

I'm still really deep into Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe 90 hours in and still only have gone through two of the regional/sage quests, because the side quests and adventures are really a lot of fun. Exploring the depths is super cool. While the sky islands seem to make up less of the game than I thought they would, they're still a cool part of the game and I'm still exploring, side-questing, and occasionally getting back to the main story quests. Given all of that, why did I buy Diablo II for the Switch? Because it's nearly 70% off right now and with some credit I had it was $10 and I got a lot of playtime out of DIII.

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

Wow, 90 hours and just two sage quests. I believe I would be fully done with the game when I reach such an hour count.

Sky islands are as big as depths, but some of them still have a kind of puzzle, on how to reach them, so it end up taking just as much time.

Diablo II is a classic, and at 70% off, it's a must have! What do you think about Diablo IV? I am really interested in it, if it weren't for TotK, I would probably be playing that.

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

There's just so much to explore...every time I walk 5 feet in any direction I feel like I just started some other side quest lol. Maybe the perceived discrepancy in sky islands vs the depths can be explained by observing that the parts of the depths where there's nothing really there would be the parts of the sky islands that are just sky? Haven't played Diablo 4 yet, but have some friends that are really really into that franchise and have been enjoying it a lot.

Another run-through of Bioshock Infinite with some Dead by Daylight matches sprinkled in.

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

I really need to try Bioshock Infinite. Have only played the first one yet.

Dead by Daylight just got the Nic Cage character, is he already in game or coming sometime in future?

Like every night, I’ll be raiding on Pokémon Violet. It’s just become a routine for me. I have the pokedex and everything. I raid just to wind down and have fun.

I tried out Advance Wars over the past week—as someone whose only played one series of turn-based strategy games (Fire Emblem), I think Advance Wars is really neat game that differentiates itself pretty well. I'm really curious to see how the GBA version compares to the Switch one, as I've got a DS Lite but never played the original GBA games lol.

I still need to finish Fire Emblem Engage, Xenoblade 3, Zelda BOTW, 3DS Rocket Slime, and a whole bunch of others, but I'm lazy lol.

TOTK can only play a few hours on the weekend, but loving the new story.

Tears of the Kingdom if I can pry it from my daughter's hands

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

Hehe, that's a tough one.

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