Hello Everyone!

I finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Took about 90 hours, and still have a lot left to do, but wanted to find out the full story, so finished the main quest. I liked the story a lot more than BotW. If you have already finished it, what did you think about the story? (without giving away any spoilers). Going to keep playing this as my primary game for a while though, while also thinking about which game to start next.

Secondary games:

  • Finished Marvel's Avengers. Nothing new to say about it. It could've been a very good game, if not for Live Service elements.
  • Almost finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. I am at stage 14, so just couple of them left. Will check the trophies after finishing the game and see if I want to platinum it. Only playing it with my kid, so going a bit slowly.
  • Started The Order 1886, it's a very small games, 4-5 hours at most, but didn't get much time to play after starting it, would try to finish it. The games holds up really well visually and gameplay vise.
  • I have committed to Monster Hunter: World now. Going to finish it, no matter how long it takes. Until now, I was only playing it with friends, but would try to do some optional stuff solo too, now that TotK is finished.

That's all for now. What about all of you? What are you playing? And what do you plan to play next? And how are you enjoying them?

I think I'm close to the end of Bowser's Fury, so I may be able to finish that in a sitting or two. I'm also playing Shredder's Revenge in a co-op setting, and the DLC announcement was a good reminder to get back into that (think we're also nearing the end of the story). And there's a Splatfest, so I feel somewhat obligated to choose a team and play a little, though I've definitely been on a Splatoon 3 break lately.

Let's go Mint Chip!

I don't play Splatoon 3, but I am rooting for Mint Chip!

Booo, down with Mint Chip! Up with... whichever team I end up picking. (Maybe even Mint Chip!)

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle 5 points 1 year ago

Not picking Mint Chip is a banable offense FYI

Bowser's Fury was really fun, how are you enjoying it?

Good luck with TMNT and Splatoon 3!

Thank you! Bowser's Fury is a fun experience, and the open-world concept is a cool one. I actually bought this Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury pack on the strength of Bowser's Fury alone, after reading people speculate that it might be the future of the 3D Mario series. I'm not sure how it would scale to a full game, though... I guess it might also be a little less "whoa dude" in a post-Mario-Odyssey world, since some of those levels were almost such environments in their own right (desert level comes to mind here, with its town area and other areas). The

is equal parts cool and annoying, with the way it gets less avoidable as the game progresses. But on the whole, it's good stuff... I haven't even looked at the main title yet, and I feel like I'm close to getting my $40's worth.

What has the TMNT experience been like for you? I'm a little frustrated at all the button-combo moves I can't seem to memorize, but that might just be a me-thing. Still having fun with this one, even with the struggles.

Yeah, I don't think next 3D Mario will be open world like this. They would need to make a world almost as big as Breath of the Wild or it will feel a step back from how much we had in Odyssey. Other than that, loved Bowser's Fury though, and felt the same about the spoilery part. It started as really cool, and started to lend a bit towards annoying, but from what I recall I enjoyed it till the end.

Mario 3D World is also really fun, I had never played it before, so enjoyed playing with my kid.

Well, about TMNT, I don't even try to remember all the moves. There are two types of attack: normal and super, and then there is jump, and dodge. You can attack, or jump and attack or dodge and attack. Where attack can be normal attack or super. That's all I remember and that's all I do 😀
