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?

Definitely still deep into Zelda. But I may flip over to Diablo 4 soon. I'm not too excited about the always online connection for that, though

Diablo 4 was one of my most anticipated game, but I try not to juggle multiple games at a time. So going to stick with Zelda before getting Diablo.

What class are you going to start your first play through as? Also, do you have any specific build in your mind? Or just going to explore the skill tree?

I usually start those games with the familiar barbarian and then slowly explore. I try to not really look at optimal builds and focus on the skills I think are fun. The sense of discovery is pretty cool when i "discover" a sweet combination or tactic, even if it turns out it's been a known build, I still feel like I discovered it

I agree. I don't generally look up builds, either unless I have done all I want, am looking for some new way to make the game not repetitive.

I generally start these game with a mage though (sorceress in Diablo), but after playing for a while, get an itch to get close to the enemies and beat them up, so start another play-through with a barbarian.

Played the demo with Necromancer, and now I want to play with the sorceress, but that is for whenever I get the game.
