Hello Everyone!

Another week without me playing too much.

  • Playing and enjoying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. The game is super fun, but can be a bit tough sometimes, or maybe I am just not good at platformers. I am at 2nd boss, would try to clear it and the 3rd area.
  • Finished Carto, loved the game. Some of the puzzles require you to think a bit, and there's one puzzle near the end that I couldn't figure out. Saw a YouTube video, and cleared the puzzle, but still can't figure out the logic behind it. Other than that, there are some secrets that I didn't get, I may go for them, not sure yet.
  • Back to Monster Hunter: World, cleared couple of missions. Going to keep at it.

Now that I have finished Carto, going to start another smaller game, not sure which one yet, have a few lined up, will go through my list and decide.

What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play over the weekend?

I might start NSMBUD myself, we’ll see. I’m still playing Dragon Quest and it is really heating up. Love this game. Also I think there’s a Rilaboom available in SV Pokémon raids this weekend, so I’ll fight for that.

I need to get back to DQXI too, but after TotK, trying to clear some smaller games before fully getting into such a long game again. How many hours in are you?

Good luck with the raid!

I know I’m late to the party but I actually beat New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe this weekend! I actually also found certain parts to be challenging but every time I tried to google for guides I found community after community talking about how absurdly easy it was. It was kind of surreal so I just wanted to validate your feelings about the challenge.

That being said, when I went back to replay older levels…..it was way way way WAY easier and I found that I have progressed over the course of the game to have become pretty competent. The game’s difficulty curve trains you pretty well.

So, basically what you are saying is, "git gud"! 😀

Jokes aside, it's nice to know I am not the only one, and there's actually a difficulty curve for those who aren't platforming experts. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah just to update you on that comment. I started playing Super Luigi U and I’ve been very humbled. I’ve been playing Toadette because this shit is hard. Like really hard.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, that's umm... nice to know. I don't think I would try to finish Super Luigi U, but I would at least give it a try. Once I have finished Mario side, that is.

The game? It seems to have very negative comments on steam. How are you liking it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm trying to finish Mercenary Kings. I've gotten a long way but it's taking so long to finish. You really gotta commit to this game.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How are you liking the game? Doesn't it become repetitive? I played a bit of the start of the game, and it was pretty much all in same area, doing same kind of things? (I am seeing the irony, talking about same area and doing the same thing, while playing Monster Hunter myself...)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it is at first because you do multiple missions in the same area which are very similar. As you move up the ranks you unlock new levels with new enemies that are much harder, but it takes a long time to get there.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I enjoyed the game-play of the 2-3 missions that I did, would you recommend me to keep playing it? I just saw that it's too long and switched to something else, thinking I'll play it later, but then didn't get around to it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly? No.

The game is fun and the graphics and sprites look amazing. I mean it's Paul Robertson that did the artwork. But, man it's repetitive. Even the bosses are always the same. One you figure out the pattern you barely even have to think.

It's too long for nothing and you keep doing the same thing over and over.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 1 year ago

Don't know why you have gotten downvotes without anyone giving a counter argument.

Thanks for your feedback. I am going to keep ignoring it for now.
