Hello Everyone,
This week passed way too quickly. It seems like I didn’t do much. There aren’t any significant updates form my side.
Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn’t. So, no changes here.
In non-nintendo gaming, still playing the same games, without much change:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
- Monster Hunter: World
- Marvel’s Avengers
For Marvel’s Avengers, the game started strong, but went downhill quickly due to all the Live Service elements. It could’ve been a fun game if they had stuck with single player. I am near the end of main campaign, and will delete it as soon as I complete it. Probably just need 2-3 hours more.
That’s all from my side, what about you guys? What are you playing? And how are you enjoying it?
You must log in or # to comment.
Still working through ToTK tbh ngl. That game just has SO MUCH CONTENT.
It does! And most of it’s optional, so if someone doesn’t want to explore it, they can just ignore it.
How far along are you? And how many hours have you spent?
I’ve done the four sage dungeon things, and put probs 90 hours into the game. Mostly been doing side stuff up until this point, and somehow I still haven’t run out!
Yeah, the game has lots of side quests and activities to do. And some of the quest lines are pretty interesting. There are also still a few main quests left where you are, so you can do some of those too, if you want.
I keep playing TotK. I’ve done a few more shrines, caves and got the Master Sword.
Also, for some reason I got Sonic Origin Plus and finished the first Sonic game. I grew up with Nintendo and only rarely played Sonic at friends’ house. It’s not the first time I play it, but definitely the first time I finish it. I feel like this game had so much potential, but the level design is pretty bad, and ends up being the poor man’s Mario. It’s still fun at times, but I hope Sonic 2, Knuckles and CD get better.
What? I haven’t gotten the Master Sword yet!
I grew up with Sega, and have played the Sonic 1 and 2 about a gazillion times and I am still not sure how you are supposed to play them? Are you supposed to keep running? Or play it slow and steady? I really like Sonic and Tails as the characters though.
I won’t spoil it, but based on previous comments I think you have the requirements to get the Master Sword. DM me if you want me to point you in the direction in a not too spoilery way 😅
I’m so glad someone who grew up with Sega thinks similar about Sonic! It’s a sanity check for me. I thought “maybe I’m too biased and expect this to be Mario when it’s clearly not Mario”. But I’m not, and I don’t. I play many different kinds of games and I’m not expecting Sonic to be Mario. But it’s a game that’s all about “going fast”. However, if you go fast, you’re punished with awkwardly placed enemies or obstacles which completely ruin the flow of each level. And Sonic is agile only when doing the spin or running for a while. When you’re trying to go slow and steady, he’s extremely slow and clunky. I understand there’s a “faster/better” path on the high levels and slower path on the lower levels, but it still doesn’t work as one would expect.
I started Sonic 2 and it’s not much better. And as I said, there’s lots of potential. It seems like an issue with level design, where they didn’t do much play testing and just put things randomly around the level. I’m still going to finish 2 and probably continue with 3 and Sonic CD. I hope there’s a progression in level design in newer installments. I’m going to go back to Sonic Mania after this too, see how that one feels after playing the originals. Sonic Superstars looks pretty cool, I’m hoping it’s fun and uses the potential I’m seeing in these 2D Sonic games!
Oh, and forgot to mention that I found out about the sword. I am there now, let’s see if I get it or they send me somewhere else.
I haven’t played Sonic Mania, but it has been highly regarded for being similar to older games, like 1 and 2, so not sure about the level design.
I would love to see your review after playing Sonic Mania, if it’s like 1 and 2, it just means we are the odd ones who don’t know how to play Sonic games.
As for Sonic Superstars, it looks great, and I am looking forward to it. Let’s hope it’s as fun to play as it looks.
I just finished up with TOTK today. I still have a bunch of minor side quests, but after 175 hours and squeezing as much as I could out of it I think I’m good for now. I decided to go for all the shrines and all the bigger quests.
I have no idea what to do now though. I’ve got a number of games to play but TOTK felt like a black hole. It absorbed my attention and I feel like anything I play next will feel mediocre in comparison lol.
I’m thinking I might play splatoon 3 finally. Or jump over and try some xbox gamepass games for a bit. I also want to try persona as I haven’t played those before. But I am not sure if I’m ready for another 100+ hour experience yet haha
At some point I need to finish monster hunter world iceborne dlc and I would like to play rise. But I have to get in the mood to play those kinds of games I suppose. I find if I get stressed IRL about various life stuff I gotta switch to more casual games for a while.
I’ve been enjoying power wash simulator when I want to just turn my brain off
i’m in the same boat, i was burned out after completing the main story and shrines so i moved on to the backlog but every day i feel the urge to just jump back in. i’m just waiting at this point if dlc will be anounced in the sept direct to figure out when i do want to jump back in.
Wow, congratulations!
I can fully understand this, once I am finished with TotK I am planning to play a few smaller games. Though technically, I am kind of taking a small break and playing couple of smaller games (Marvel’s Avengers, which I just finished - and now playing The Order 1886).
I am playing Monster Hunter World these days, and loving it. For me the issue is you can’t pause the game when playing, and with my kids I get constant interruptions, so can only play it at very limited times.
I really need to try Power Wash Simulator one of these days. So many people play and like it, and I can’t figure out why 😛
Tears of the Kingdom FTW! Just… So beautiful
It’s an amazing game! 💖
Edit: Forgot to ask, how far along are you?
Early, just got impa into the first “temple” that shows all the dragon tears! Trying to figure out where to go next after I mark everything in the map - somehow! You?
Ah, I am near the end of main quest, have spent dozens of hours on side quests and exploration too. You are still in the beginning so not going to spoil anything. 😀 But if you want any information or help, you can hit me up.
Definitely will!! Is there any Tears of the Kingdom oriented /c here or somewhere else?
There are a few. lemmyverse.net is a great place to search for instances or communities. You can check them all out and join the one you like.
Hey, im gonna be playing some Mario kart this evening we should organize some lemmy races
Yeah, a Lemmy Mario Kart tournament!
Do you have Booster Pack? If yes, how are you liking it? If not, why not?
Im definitely liking the booser packs the slow roll out is kind of annoying but i guess it keeps engagement up. Other then that though the changing courses are very welcome to me.
started playing this town building sim called dago noka! it’s mindless enouugh to just unwind with.
Looks interesting. How are the controls on Switch?
not too bad! probably could have used some more polish (the item menu could have been less messy) but it’s fine for what it is.
Okay. Thanks for the info!
Playing Advance Wars. I finished the first campaign couple days ago and now I’m trying to get the 100%
Nice. How long was the campaign? And what else do you need to do to get to 100%?
The first campaign took me 9.5h according to the in- game clock but I believe only counts battle time so it should be 10-11h real time.
To get the 100% you have to beat every mission on the map. There is one that’s hidden. Rank and score is irrelevant for 100%.
Ah, interesting.
Thanks for the info.
Dying Light 2. it was a little rough on launch but recent patchs have improved it a lot
Nice, how are you enjoying it? I have a friend who wants to play it co-op, but I want to play the first one first.
Splatoon 3
Nice. Is the Splatferst over? Did your side win?
The ice cream one? it didn’t start yet.
But I won the Power vs Wisdom vs Courage one at least :D
Ah cool. What did you choose?
Power, and we won by a landslide!
Guess we were too powerfull ¯_(ツ)_/¯
lol, Power beating Wisdom and Courage is so bad, but that’s how the world works. Congratulations on the win!
What are you going to choose for the ice cream?
Same with TotK. Trying to finish all side quests and getting all armor before the final boss
I wanted to do that, but I want to know the story!
Since I’m going on vacation tomorrow, I ended up finally beating the boss today, but I do want to find all the armor pieces too yeah… Will see if I keep going after my trip, or if I end up being distracted by other games. (Which is why I usually try to avoid beating the end bosses in games before I’ve done all/most of the sidequests)
I got the Master Detective Archives: Rain Code collector’s edition waiting for me (new game by the Danganronpa team)
Ori and the will of the wisps
I really need to play it one of these days.
How are you enjoying the game?
Tears of the Kingdom. I could finish it right now but I don’t want the game to be over. So I am just going around completing everything I can think of
Enjoy your time with it.
Just bought the Escapist 2 because my niece wanted to play it with me online. In all honesty I am not that interested in it but it was 5€ on discount, so it’s not a huge loss 😅
Fun time with niece. I would say its worth it!
How is the game? Is there a story?
Don’t know, haven’t played it yet 😅
Haha, no worries. Update us in one of these threads whenever you do. 😀
Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn’t.
Very much same. Though not exactly that I could not, more like I do not exactly want to. I am pretty advanced on the plot, so now i am exploring the depths, finding side quests, seeing caves, finding wells. This game is endless.
And maybe I should start helping the korok find their friend, bless them.
Yeah, I can understand that. I was in the same boat, but as I mentioned last week, I reached a point where I want to know how the story proceeds. If you had seen all the Tears, you may know what I am talking about.
I think i know what you mean. I think on the main storyline I only have the final boss left, but I feel so unprepared.
Good luck. As the sage of Nintendo community on lemmy.world, I stand with you.
Edit: Okay, that was more cheesy than when I thought it in my head. 😀
I have only the final boss left, and despite feeling vastly over prepared, I can’t bring myself to finish it yet and am still desperately trying to get everything else done first (koroks being the exception).
Finishing up Pikmin 2 endgame before 4 comes out in a couple weeks
Nice! How long was Pikmin 2? And are you going to play Pikmin 3 or already played it before?
About 10 hours I think to credits, but there’s a whole 4th area you don’t even unlock until finishing the game, so I’m still working through that. I played Pikmin 3 when it came out on Wii U and then again when it came out on switch, so I’m all set there
I just did the same! Was surprised to see the fourth area after the credits rolled. Having tons of fun with Pikmin 2, very excited to play 3 and 4 when it comes out!
Play all four games back to back? Won’t that cause a bit of burn out?
Ah cool. Thanks for the info.
