Hello Everyone!

(Post got too long, if you want to skip, game names are in bold, you can just read those)

June is ending, and July is starting. For the US folks, that means 4th of July is coming! Another day to just play games, without worrying about work or school!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kindgom, about 75 hours in and very near the end, will probably finish it soon. Would have to wait and see, if I lose interest in rest of the stuff after finishing the main story, or want to keep exploring and doing other stuff. Details next, move to next paragraph, if you want to skip. I have done the last regional quest, I originally wanted to go back to exploring after that, but after getting all Tears and completing all regional quest, I wanted to focus on story and see how it ends, so left everything and went to the Castle. Haven't reached the final boss yet, but I think I am near the end now.

In non-Nintendo games, played a bit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge with my kid. We both had lots of fun with it, and going to continue playing it when we both have time. Only complaint I have is that 2nd player doesn't earn any trophies, but that isn't a big issue for me.

Also played a little of Monster Hunter: World, and I must say, Capcom, improve your multiplayer setup! It's so confusing. Only the host can watch cut-scene, and you can't play a mission whose cut-scene you haven't watched. So, if 4 players are playing, they all have to start the story mission separately, then during the mission when you come across the monster first time, there's a cut scene, after you have watched cut scene, all of you must abandon the quest and then one person can host the mission again and everyone else can join it. (Or all person except one can leave their mission and join that person's mission mid-way). Took us more than an hour to figure all that out. Not counting that, the game is really fun, but still not sure if we are going to stick to it.

Other than that, Marvel's Avengers is leaving PS+ Extra on 12 July. I usually don't prioritize games based on when they are leaving, but the game is shutting down in September and I don't want to spend money on it. So, even though I don't want to start another game right now, I am going to give it a try. The campaign is only 12 or so hours, and I have heard it is fun enough. So, plan to start it too. Not sure if I'll play the full campaign, but I want to give it a try.

So, what about all of you? What are you playing?

Edit: June doesn't have 31 days! facepalm

Also on TotK, slightly behind you. Finished the fourth regional quest but haven't reported back to Purah yet.

!Spoiler alert! My plans are to do that, then the Korok forest, followed by the extra tear and the fifth sage (who I had stumbled upon before even finishing my second temple). Then I'll just... dick around for months instead of going to the castle. :D

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

Ah, interesting. BTW you can use spoilers tag, for spoilers

spoilerI haven't done much sky islands, so didn't stumble upon the fifth sage quest. And I don't know what's there to do in Korok forest, since I haven't been there, but will check it out after finishing the game.

Just started Zelda TOTK, slow burning it at the moment, will probably play persona 5 after this.

I just got the Harvest Moon remake on switch and it's been great. It's still difficult but they added in more to the plot with the wonders. Oh and they yassified Gordy.

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

I never played the original, how would you say the game is, for someone who has no nostalgia for it, and has played some of the modern farming games?

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

I finished Tears of the Kingdom today! The ending is very sweet. I enjoyed the game immensely and I'm glad I spent so long wandering around, because I needed every last heart for the final boss!

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

not this weekend but next weekend, i am hoping to get the harvest moon remake and maybe we love katamari remake. loved these games as a kid so a lot of nostalgia there.

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

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

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

It's one of my favourite RPG, still listen to to the title music sometimes. The game-play, the combat, the pawn system. Loved it all. And with the sequel releasing soon, it's the best time to play it.

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

I'm going to finish Pikmin and then start Pikmin 2.

I'm feeling a real nostalgia hit at the moment for the GameCube so hopefully I can get stuck in to some favourites too!

I've been on Visual Novel mood, finished Robotics;Notes Elite earlier this week (which was excellent!) and started playing the sequel, Robotics;Notes DaSH. Just completed Phase 02 of the sequel, and managed to unlock the five different routes that branch from this point.

However, so far DaSH has been a disappointment. The plot of the early portions of the game is just terrible, and Daru's perverted jokes get old really fast with him as the main character. Since there are hints of some bigger conspiracy behing the nonsense of these early parts of the game I'll hold my judgment until I finish the game, but it'll have to be some really great twist to make up for this painful start.

I got accepted into Division Heartland closed beta. Gonna be playing that.

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

Congratulations, where are you playing it? Is it PC only yet?

I have never played any of the Tom Clancy games (other than little bit of first Division, but gave up because of the grindy nature of the game), let us know how you are liking the game.

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

PC only, unfortunately the NDA forbids any public discussion on it.

I'm also at 75 hours in TotK, but not much closer to finishing the main quest than last week 😅

I played a bit of Doom Eternal since I finally got my phisical copy from Limited Run Games. It was very fun, and it feels different to Doom (2016). Still looks amazing on Switch! I'll probably be playing some more during the weekend to take a break from Zelda.

Shredder's Revenge is so much fun. Played all the story and some arcade in co-op and it's always a good one to go back to. The DLC will make me play it again for sure!

Just a heads up OP, Capcom did improve the multiplayer experience in Monster Hunter Rise. No more waiting to join a friend till after they've seen a cut scene. Honestly, makes playing with other people a lot smoother. Also, Avengers was kinda rough imo. I picked it up for about $8 a few months back after they mentioned it was going down and all the content was included, found the main story pretty meh, and gave up on getting to the DLC since it would take take a good bit of grinding to get to it. Certainly not the worst I've ever played... but wow does it leave a lot to be desired. Here's hoping you have more fun with it.

As for me: if I'm counting Friday, PowerWash Simulator dropped the SpongeBob DLC on Thursday, so I finished that out. Really fun, super high quality, though a shame it doesn't appear to have the music present. That being said, music licensing is wild, so I don't really hold it against the devs.

Planning to get back into Final Fantasy XIV some more as I've been out of it for months and just kinda wanna play it some more. It has literally been months though, so I'm super terrified of getting back into like, the actual new content. Just gotta shake the rust off I guess, so I've been cleaning up some solo stuff to get the feel back.

And since I've got the 4th off as well, probably going to tip into some Boltgun as I haven't finished it yet. It's good, but it hasn't grabbed me like some of the other boomer shooters I've played lately. Oh well.

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

That's great to hear about the MH: Rise, but we have gotten used to MH: World (and we all already have it), so going to stick to it and play that for a while.

As for Avengers, I am liking the start of the Campaign, but it could just be my lowered expectations. Let's see how it holds up.

I have always wanted to play a MMORPG, played a bit of FF XIV, but the amount of time needed to play a MMO is just something I don't have. Good luck getting your groove back.

Boltgun is on my wishlist, thanks for your impressions, will check out some reviews before getting it.

Pinky: What are we doing this weekend, Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every weekend...We're going to take over Hyrule!

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

Hyrule is the best place to be!

Playing BotW or TotK? And how far along are you?

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

TotK. I'm going the maximum exploration route, so I've only gotten the Travel Medallions, Tulin's Sage, and the locator so far. I'm leaving the main story until much later. 135 hours in, though, and only playing an hour or two most days.

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

I'll be shooting bugs in mines with dwarves in Deep Rock Galactic. ROCK AND STONE!

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

I played one or two missions of Deep Rock Galactic, didn't enjoy much playing solo, but I have heard it can be lots of fun when playing with friends. Maybe I should convince my friends to give it a try...

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

I'm playing Mario Galaxy in the 3D All Stars bundle. Pretty great game so far :)

Nice! I played a mission or two once, but didn't enjoyed it much playing solo. I have heard it's really fun playing with friends though. Maybe I should try to convince some friends to give it a try...

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

I'm thinking on playing MH:Rise but I also want to play the GBA Fire Emblem.

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

Haven't played either, but I think GBA Fire Emblem might be a shorter game, if that matters. Would love to know what you ended up playing.

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

Hehe, my wife and I ended up playing Mario 3D world to finish the story and just started bowser's fury :P
MH:Rise is just to continue playing it, I already finished it but it's a great game to mindlessly play when getting bored.

I'm 180 hours into ToTK and i'm still discovering new things on the map. I'm stoked that there's still so much more to discover.

I'm also playing Dragon Quest XI and it's really fun so far.

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

Yeah, the game is great in this regard. Yesterday in TotK Inventions post, saw someone mention that they have played over 200 hours, and haven't come across "Construct Head" zonai device yet.

With lack of time to play games, I am starting to like linear games more, but I don't feel any time passing when playing TotK. A truly marvelous game.

[–] onehellofausername 1 points 1 year ago

Still playing TOTK. Still have plenty to do.

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

Dragon Quest XI. About 6 hours in and I'm absolutely loving it!

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

Dragon Quest XI is a great game. I started it, but the game is on pause right now, will get back to it after TotK.. How far along are you? Reached the first city?

Switch: Raiden IV. NDS: Ketsui Death Label. Both are so much fun!

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

A retro-weekend!

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

Zelda Totk, currently in last temple but planning to explore and get sken armour and batteries before continuing further in the story once completed.

50 hours in and loving it :)

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

How on Earth have you done all the temples in only 50 hours?

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

It's doable if you don't go for too much exploration.

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

Of all the things to collect or complete, collecting complete armour sets is probably my favourite. I don't care about finding all the shrines, but I want to collect all the armour sets.

How about rest of the story? Got all the tears and sky towers?
