Hello Everyone!

It's time for this week's, "What are you playing" thread.

I wasn't able to give as much time to gaming as I thought, who knew running a community can take so much time. Even when all members are so great, and I don't have to moderate anything.

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.

Other than that, me and wife just got NSO Expansion pass, and started the Happy Home Paradise DLC, while resuming our Animal Crossing play-through. Just cleaning the long neglected island, and helping Harv build the shops.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

I am still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom. I tend to lose steam on open world games and never end up finishing them. So far I am still motivated to finish this one.

Finally finished my vanilla Persona 5 playthrough on my PS4 a few weeks back, so last week started my playthrough of Persona 5 Royal, and will likely continue that.

P5 Strikers is on sale this week. Get it now if you think you're going to play it.

Probably some D4 and street fighter 6. Picked up Steins gate elite on sale though so might start that.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago

Diablo IV and Street Fighter 6 are both great choices.

I play Fire Emblem Engage. Just finished a Ironman run and maybe try to beat the DLC mapps as well with my now limited army

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Someone else also mentioned in the post that they are playing Engage, and I asked them how they are liking it, and going to ask you the questions.

How are you liking FE Engage? Have you played Three Houses? Most people I know prefer Three Houses over it, and didn’t like Engage much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm a very big Fire Emblem fan and play all story paths of Fire emblem Three houses which i played maybe over 300 hours and on Engage i'm on maybe 200-250 hours into the game. So obviously i like both game, i wouldn't spend so much hours if i don't like a game. I'm aware that Fire emblem Three houses get a better score and sold better, but i think Engage is a better game. As i already wrote up ahead, i finished a Ironman run and i waited for this so long, because the former game was quite bad for this. Armbush spawn all over the game, not that iteligent map design or boring maps and you don't get a lot more units over the game. Fire emblem three houses has the feature that you are able to socialise with other classmember. So a lot people compare it with Persona, but i think it's not on a level like Persona. I'm not a big fan ob this church mechanik, a lot tasks are just boring or even annoying and dialogues aren't always that good writen outside of the support dialogue that engange has as well. Three houses has a better story, at least people want to tell me that and i maybe see it, but as stupid as some of the character interactions of engage are, i just like the story and how characters are a bit more. But at one thing engage shines the most and this is gameplay and map design. The core mechanik of a Fire emblem game, because as a long time fire emblem player, the Fire emblem gameplay keeps me playing every game of the series. Out of my head, there are not much maps in Fire emblem three houses that are special, i think there a decents maps, but a lot worse as well. Of course it's easier for me to speak about Fire emblem engage maps because i just played it recently. Fire emblem engage has a lot more maps with interresting maps hazards or designs, choose interresting legacy maps and redesigned it in an interresting way. Playing against Ike was just, how do i ever get to ike and than he breaked though the north of the map, that suprised me a lot and was fun to play. The later maps that gave you a time limit to finish the map but always try to push you units back is for me a good map. And some of the dlc maps are awesome and a really good challange (engage has maybe the best fe dlc out of all games). The Engage mechanik is as well more interresting than the mechanik of three houses that let you do different moves acording to the (i don't know the name) soldier types you get arround you. The three houses was build arround destroying shield from big monster and some maps were quite good with that (like the map we fight this big turtle) and some weren't fun with this mechanik. I think the mechanik was decent, has pros and flaws like the pairup mechanik of the 3ds games. But the engage mechanik is so fun for me, play besides marth or other heroes and get stronger for a short amount of time let me solve problems in the games but i have to plan ahead because it will run out at some point (endboss use that to kill my precious dragon QQ in ironman). Skill system in Engage is weird and broken in three houses...

In the End i think Engage is better than Three houses, better for core fans of the series, but maybe not better for players that got into the series with three houses. But sadly if i rank all newer Fire emblem games (3ds and switch), three houses would be my least favorite game, but not the worst in the series.

I don't know if my text makes so much sense, just came out of my head and of course engage is more fresh to me than three houses, makes it easier to remember things in engage.

I'm still playing Minecraft, new update just dropped.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do you play it? Creative or Survival? Or those themed DLCs, like the Incredibles ones that just dropped?

[–] FollyDolly 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Creative mostly, I have a bunch of builds I cycle through. Right now I'm building a dwarven city. I have a few DLCs but I rarely play them.

Some TotK and some Monster Hunter maybe some Advanced Wars sprinkled in.

So much to do so little time!

Still playing TTOK and Gnosia. Gnosia is a really good werewolf style game with overarching story and the KI is actually quite good.

I finished Yoshi's Crafted World, finally after like 3 years of owning it. So now I've decided "welp I guess it's time to play Breath of the Wild". Enjoying it so far, I do need to get to Kirby tho... which I was planning on doing once I finished Luigi's Mansion 3, Paper Mario and Yoshi's Crafted World, oh well.

In non-Nintendo stuff, I've been playing Fallout 4 on PC because I've gotten that itch. I've only ever played in PS4, I think I got it on PC when it went on sale. It's really weird playing it with a mouse and keyboard, but it's a lot of fun building a new character and trying to figure out their personality... she feels like very sarcastic and mean but will soften up when you get to know her.

Cannot afford it until I get paid at the end of the month, but I'm so thrilled about the Etrian Oddysey re-release. Usually I'm not big on re-release, but these games hold a special importance for me as my first dungeon crawlers. If only Nintendo priced things more accessibly. 😔

I'm playing Jack Jeanne, just started the game but I think I'll like it as I've been looking for a visual novel with more interactive elements than story only.

I've been playing a ton of Diablo 4, but definitely want to find some time to hop back into Hyrule and complete some side quests in TotK. I also want to play through Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble on NSO; I never managed to pick it up when it was new on GBC, so I'm stoked that I finally get to play a game that has eluded me for so long!

Been replaying Sunshine and just started Wind Waker again. I'm really loving these older games. I wish I could appreciate them more in the past. Oh well, there's always the future!
