What are you playing this weekend? 6/9 (self.nintendo)

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?

Congratulations on your gaming PC build. I can understand the feeling of getting a new "toy" and then not being able to play with it due to work or family responsibilities. Any special games in mind that you want to try?

I only played Battlefront 2 a little. Is there a co-op campaign? Or going to fight each other in the PvP?

As for the Zelda, for me, if Breath of the Wild was 10/10 then Tears of the Kingdom is 20/10.

Even though there are few places I recognize, everything feels new (it could be just because I played BOTW 6 years ago), the main structure of the land might be same, but there is so much more to explore. Not to mention a complete new underground layer, and the sky!

Also, the new abilities are a game changer, they gives you so much freedom. Don't want to spoil too much, but for me at least, this game is better than Breath of the Wild in every way.

Thanks! I really want to finally try out Skyrim. I've postponed it for years because I just know I'll get sucked into it hardcore, lol.

I'm not sure, didn't think about that! I never played it, only watched a roommate play, I'll have to check if we'll be able play in split-screen.

As for the Zelda, for me, if Breath of the Wild was 10/10 then Tears of the Kingdom is 20/10.

Now that is one high bar! You just got me even more excited for TOTK than I already was!

Skyrim is one of my favourite game, last played it couple of years ago on Switch.

For first play-through, I would recommend playing without mods, or as few mods as possible. And do share how you like it.

I was afraid that game won't match the hype, but it has exceeded them. But I won't recommend going straight to TOTK after BOTW. You may end up feeling burned out. So give it at least a few months' space before jumping into it.

Good point. Then it's fortunate that I just got my PC build done!
