My Dual Sense (PS5 controller) got drift again, so no Monster Hunter this week.

Half-way through Soda Jungle in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (one good thing about Super Mario Wonder, is it's smaller name)
Didn't play much Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, want to fix that this week.
Not much to say about Dragon Quest XI, it's trudging along.
Started Deathloop as it's leaving PS+ Extra, but couldn't get into it, so dropped it.
After Deathloop, I wanted to play some kind of shooting game, so stared Remnant: From the Ashes. Loving the game, it's not as hard souls-like, but it's still a tough game, I guess more of a souls-lite. Loving the game, and that's taking most of my time now.

What about you guys? What have you been playing?

Playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. It's sad, though. I've noticed my urge to play the game slowly drop more and more once I realized how much of the map, weapons, and music is borrowed from BotW. Sometimes, it feels like I'm just playing BotW 2.0 instead of a proper sequel. Still, I keep making progress.

Replaying Paper Mario TTYD. I really love this RPG and the Paper Mario series as a whole. Really hope we get a proper RPG for the next game in the series, with partners, badges and all that stuff.

I'm also replaying Mirror's Edge. One of my favorite games, thanks to the setting and soundtrack. It still looks beautiful, despite it coming out in 2008.

Really? Sure, they carried over some assets and the shape of the overworld map is the same... but most of the stuff ON the map, the chasm map, the sky map, cave systems, new abilities, a crafting system that makes the durability mechanic suck less, new characters, new ways of earning korok seeds, the president hudson puzzles, the shrines are all different (and overall more difficult, thankfully) ... there's so much new, unique stuff in this game that it's sometimes overwhelming to me, and I 100%ed BOTW twice. I think you're over-fixating on the fact that the games have the same engine.

Yeah but some of that stuff doesn't really do anything for me. The depths are alright, the sky map is too empty, with most of the islands looking nearly the exact same, the caves all have the same look. The abilities are cool, crafting is cool, new characters are nice. I hate everything about korok seeds, and the Hudson puzzles can easily be cheesed to the point that you can use the same solution for almost all of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, well then it sounds like a lot of the new stuff just doesn’t go along with your tastes/play style. Nothing wrong with that. Meanwhile, I can’t help but explore every square inch, so the Korok seeds are a nice bonus for that; and I’m an engineer so I like coming up with crazy alternative solutions to the Hudson puzzles and shrines
