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 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 !

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Road Trip! Have fun!

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.

[–] VoxAdActa@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If this anhedonia streak continues, I'll probably dick around for an hour or two on Guild Wars 2, drop an hour into Vermintide II, maybe load up an emulator and play a couple of SNES games, then ultimately end up listening to a podcast while I play spider solitaire.

[–] spiderjuzce@lemmy.sdf.org 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.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 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?

[–] spiderjuzce@lemmy.sdf.org 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

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 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. 😀

[–] cetvrti_magi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] BillyZane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same here. Finished Xenoblade Chronicles in 6+ months. Though, when the game takes over a month or so, I usually add some smaller games to mix.

How far along are you? and how are you liking it?

[–] BillyZane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love it. It’s basically the same game as Breath of the wild, but the underground and sky island increase the map even more. Then the added building and fusing weapons makes it way more fun to play. I’ve finished the first three temples and am on to the last now.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the new abilities make the game completely different.

Good luck with the last temple!

[–] Thcgrasscity@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 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/pokemon_snap@lemmy.piperservers.net (Making a relative link doesn't seem to be working at my end for some reason, so just shared the direct link)

[–] Kale@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hopefully a full weekend of Baldurs Gate 3.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Have fun!

BTW You have posted on a very old thread though. Our weekly thread is pinned on the main page of community. This one is more than a month old.

[–] phluko@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I'll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time...

Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. I prefer the GameCube and Wii era because my childhood.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Monster Hunter World for sure.

[–] cities@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I am still playing Tears of the Kingdom when I have time to play and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon

[–] threeLetterMeyhem@lemmy.world 1 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.

[–] bananahammock@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Emblem@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Found this hidden gem (for me at least) "Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon" really like this game.

Have been thinking to try out other Bayonetta's too, even thought they are different style of games.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't think it's a hidden gem, but I haven't seen many people play it. How are you liking the game.

I am in the opposite boat, I have played the other Bayonetta (thought only the first one) but not the Cereza and the Lost Demon.

[–] Emblem@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I first tried the demo of the game. Didnt expect to like it, but found myself really enjoying the art style and specially story. Havent finished the game yet, sadly I dont have as much time to playing games as I use to.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

sadly I dont have as much time to playing games as I use to.

Happens to all of us, don't worry about it.

I'll give the demo a try, once I have gone through Bayonetta 2 and 3. Thanks for the heads up.

[–] Sdot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Borrowed a couple games from a mate to see if I wanna buy them myself. Luigi's Mansion 3 is a no, but will be buying Mario 3D + Browser's Fury after payday. Also, usually fit in some time on Dorfromantik in the evenings or when stressed.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why did you like Luigi Mansion 3?

Dorfromantik looks fun. Is it as relaxing as it looks?

[–] Sdot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just found it very slow. A lot of unskippable cut scenes. Yes! So relaxing.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Luigi Mansion does have that issue. I didn't notice it the first time, because I like to watch the cut scenes, but when I tried to replay it, I just couldn't.

Thanks for the info, will add Dorfromantik to to my list!

[–] Yazer@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Minesweeper is a pretty good game. Which one are you playing? The one included with Windows? Or some other version?

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If Microsoft started releasing DLC for Minesweeper they'd make more money than the Acti-Bliz acquisition will ever make them.

[–] cutecycle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Etrian Odyssey at last, and Noob the factionless on ROG Ally + A Wonderful Life on ps5 later!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is Noob the Factionless? It looks interesting, but I have no idea about the IP, and the trailer didn't seems to explain much game play either.

Also, how are you finding ROG Ally? Heard there were lots of issues with the launch?

[–] cutecycle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not super far, but it seems neat so far! I know nothing about the media franchise, and wasn't sure about the aesthetic, but there is this cozy 2008-mmo-cringe to it that I like. It's a fairly standard JRPG

The ally has been great for me. I only use GOG, which works best on windows, so there was a lot of jank on steam deck. I know there's been some controversy about performance with updates, but I'm not running tons of benchmarks or AAA. It's been smooth so far!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That sounds fun, will give it a try when I get some time.

Glad to hear that it's working great for you. It's nice to see handhelds making a come back.

[–] Dougas@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How far along are you in TotK?

And good luck with Gimmighoul and Chesnaught!

[–] Dougas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

After 100 hours I've completed 2 of the 4 temples and gathered all the memories. Besides that I've just been completing shrines and doing some side quests.

Also thanks, I really want a shiny Gimmighoul.

[–] avividtale@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still playing EO3, but debating digging into something else too. Just not sure what I'm in the mood for. :)

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe try some non-Pokemon monster collecting game, there are many good ones available. Or some puzzly game, like Ghost Trick?

[–] avividtale@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Some good suggestions. I'd heard of Ghost Trick and that one did look interesting. :)

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm 75% of the way through Advance Wars 2 (from the Advance Wars Reboot-Camp remake). I normally get ~3 levels done per play session, but the last stage of Yellow Comet was more difficult than usual. I'm thinking these last stages are just harder than all the earlier stages.

I might try a hard-mode run, or maybe I start playing competitive (erm... casual-level competitive. I dunno about beating the grandmasters in this game but I kinda wanna see where people are).

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I was very hyped for Advanced Wars, but then they delayed it, and then released it couple of weeks before Zelda, so haven't gotten a chance to play it yet. Glad to see people are enjoying it.

Competitive can be interesting, though I doubt I would be hold off against the pros.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wolfenstein, Half Dead, & Ray Man!

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Rayman Legends I assume? Amazing game, maybe the best 2D platformer I've ever played.
