Hello Everyone!

(Post got too long, if you want to skip, game names are in bold, you can just read those)

June is ending, and July is starting. For the US folks, that means 4th of July is coming! Another day to just play games, without worrying about work or school!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kindgom, about 75 hours in and very near the end, will probably finish it soon. Would have to wait and see, if I lose interest in rest of the stuff after finishing the main story, or want to keep exploring and doing other stuff. Details next, move to next paragraph, if you want to skip. I have done the last regional quest, I originally wanted to go back to exploring after that, but after getting all Tears and completing all regional quest, I wanted to focus on story and see how it ends, so left everything and went to the Castle. Haven't reached the final boss yet, but I think I am near the end now.

In non-Nintendo games, played a bit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge with my kid. We both had lots of fun with it, and going to continue playing it when we both have time. Only complaint I have is that 2nd player doesn't earn any trophies, but that isn't a big issue for me.

Also played a little of Monster Hunter: World, and I must say, Capcom, improve your multiplayer setup! It's so confusing. Only the host can watch cut-scene, and you can't play a mission whose cut-scene you haven't watched. So, if 4 players are playing, they all have to start the story mission separately, then during the mission when you come across the monster first time, there's a cut scene, after you have watched cut scene, all of you must abandon the quest and then one person can host the mission again and everyone else can join it. (Or all person except one can leave their mission and join that person's mission mid-way). Took us more than an hour to figure all that out. Not counting that, the game is really fun, but still not sure if we are going to stick to it.

Other than that, Marvel's Avengers is leaving PS+ Extra on 12 July. I usually don't prioritize games based on when they are leaving, but the game is shutting down in September and I don't want to spend money on it. So, even though I don't want to start another game right now, I am going to give it a try. The campaign is only 12 or so hours, and I have heard it is fun enough. So, plan to start it too. Not sure if I'll play the full campaign, but I want to give it a try.

So, what about all of you? What are you playing?

Edit: June doesn't have 31 days! facepalm

I'm going to finish Pikmin and then start Pikmin 2.

I'm feeling a real nostalgia hit at the moment for the GameCube so hopefully I can get stuck in to some favourites too!

Also on TotK, slightly behind you. Finished the fourth regional quest but haven't reported back to Purah yet.

!Spoiler alert! My plans are to do that, then the Korok forest, followed by the extra tear and the fifth sage (who I had stumbled upon before even finishing my second temple). Then I'll just... dick around for months instead of going to the castle. :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Basically the same as me. I finally went to Purah and most of the dialogue was "Ohh you already did that?"

I still have only have half of the depths explored, and finally have hero quest to figure out which sky Islands I haven't visited.

Just started Zelda TOTK, slow burning it at the moment, will probably play persona 5 after this.

[–] picandocodigo 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm also at 75 hours in TotK, but not much closer to finishing the main quest than last week 😅

I played a bit of Doom Eternal since I finally got my phisical copy from Limited Run Games. It was very fun, and it feels different to Doom (2016). Still looks amazing on Switch! I'll probably be playing some more during the weekend to take a break from Zelda.

Shredder's Revenge is so much fun. Played all the story and some arcade in co-op and it's always a good one to go back to. The DLC will make me play it again for sure!

I finished Tears of the Kingdom today! The ending is very sweet. I enjoyed the game immensely and I'm glad I spent so long wandering around, because I needed every last heart for the final boss!

Dragon Quest XI. About 6 hours in and I'm absolutely loving it!

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

Dragon Quest XI is a great game. I started it, but the game is on pause right now, will get back to it after TotK.. How far along are you? Reached the first city?

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

Yep! Made it to the first city and now I’m’ off again where I’m going to where the adventure takes me next.

I just got the Harvest Moon remake on switch and it's been great. It's still difficult but they added in more to the plot with the wonders. Oh and they yassified Gordy.

Just a heads up OP, Capcom did improve the multiplayer experience in Monster Hunter Rise. No more waiting to join a friend till after they've seen a cut scene. Honestly, makes playing with other people a lot smoother. Also, Avengers was kinda rough imo. I picked it up for about $8 a few months back after they mentioned it was going down and all the content was included, found the main story pretty meh, and gave up on getting to the DLC since it would take take a good bit of grinding to get to it. Certainly not the worst I've ever played... but wow does it leave a lot to be desired. Here's hoping you have more fun with it.

As for me: if I'm counting Friday, PowerWash Simulator dropped the SpongeBob DLC on Thursday, so I finished that out. Really fun, super high quality, though a shame it doesn't appear to have the music present. That being said, music licensing is wild, so I don't really hold it against the devs.

Planning to get back into Final Fantasy XIV some more as I've been out of it for months and just kinda wanna play it some more. It has literally been months though, so I'm super terrified of getting back into like, the actual new content. Just gotta shake the rust off I guess, so I've been cleaning up some solo stuff to get the feel back.

And since I've got the 4th off as well, probably going to tip into some Boltgun as I haven't finished it yet. It's good, but it hasn't grabbed me like some of the other boomer shooters I've played lately. Oh well.

After 240+ hours on TOTK, I finally finished it, I didn't know what to play for a few days, but then I started South Park The Fractured But Whole and I'm having a blast, I am a fan of the show and I love how the games feel just like an episode or a movie, I hope they make a third one down the line.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Wow, 240+ hours! That's really something. I don't think I am going to cross 100 hours anytime soon. How much did you do? All shrines? Koroks? Compendium?

I have never seen South Park so never got interested in the game, but I have heard from lots of people that it's really fun. Glad you are enjoying it!

Zelda Totk, currently in last temple but planning to explore and get sken armour and batteries before continuing further in the story once completed.

50 hours in and loving it :)

[–] piposaurus 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which temple did you leave for last?

[–] Nameproblem 2 points 2 years ago

On the last battle with Queen Gibdo. Going to go explore the depts more before continuing the story for a while I think. :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How on Earth have you done all the temples in only 50 hours?

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago

Of all the things to collect or complete, collecting complete armour sets is probably my favourite. I don't care about finding all the shrines, but I want to collect all the armour sets.

How about rest of the story? Got all the tears and sky towers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Still on TotK. 115 hours in. I've been at the last bit for a while, just going around and doing lightroots and shrines still. Lightroots are done, and about 20 shrines left.

I'm still considering if I want to do FF16 next. The demo had really bad motion blur and I kinda want to wait to see if they patch it before I spend money.

I still have plenty of other games in my backlog, so I don't know that it's a big loss if I wait. (Unless serious spoilers start getting out, which seems like it might be a problem with this one?)

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

[–] slimerancher 3 points 2 years ago

It's one of my favourite RPG, still listen to to the title music sometimes. The game-play, the combat, the pawn system. Loved it all. And with the sequel releasing soon, it's the best time to play it.

[–] piposaurus 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I was at the same boat with Tears of the Kingdom as you - when I got all tears AND finished all regional quests, I immediately went to the castle and finished all story related quests that followed. Which of the regional quests did you enjoy the most?

Shredder's revenge is so much fun! I really enjoyed playing this with my partner when we were in long distance relationship. Are you planning on getting the DLC?

As for my gaming progression this weekend, I'm gonna continue with clearing my backlog, game by game. On switch I am currently playing Blaster Master Zero 2, which I paired with a longer game I started playing this week - The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. The writing is so good! The characters are also enjoyable, as is the tradition for Ace Attorney series. I definitely look forward to play more of this.

On PlayStation, I managed to find used copy of Forspoken for a reasonable price. I was already interested in the game from playing the demo so I took the chance. I played for two hours last night already. So far it seems... not that bad? It's probably too soon to tell, although I have a feeling I will end up liking the game in the end.

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

A shout-out for Shredder's Revenge gets an Up-Lemm(?) from me. I can't wait for that DLC to drop. Otherwise, watching my wife play TOTK is such a joy to me

[–] piposaurus 2 points 2 years ago

TotK is such a good game, it does not matter if you play it or just watch someone else play it, you can have fun either way!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We Love Katamari (Reroll)!

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago

Pure fun!

Have you played the originals? Or playing these for the first time?

I'll be shooting bugs in mines with dwarves in Deep Rock Galactic. ROCK AND STONE!

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago

I played one or two missions of Deep Rock Galactic, didn't enjoy much playing solo, but I have heard it can be lots of fun when playing with friends. Maybe I should convince my friends to give it a try...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm 180 hours into ToTK and i'm still discovering new things on the map. I'm stoked that there's still so much more to discover.

I'm also playing Dragon Quest XI and it's really fun so far.

I've been on Visual Novel mood, finished Robotics;Notes Elite earlier this week (which was excellent!) and started playing the sequel, Robotics;Notes DaSH. Just completed Phase 02 of the sequel, and managed to unlock the five different routes that branch from this point.

However, so far DaSH has been a disappointment. The plot of the early portions of the game is just terrible, and Daru's perverted jokes get old really fast with him as the main character. Since there are hints of some bigger conspiracy behing the nonsense of these early parts of the game I'll hold my judgment until I finish the game, but it'll have to be some really great twist to make up for this painful start.

Been playing a lot of Pictooi lately. I've got a few more puzzles to wrap up and then I'll be done with the normal mode (unless theres some secret unlocks).

After that, it's either the Metroid Prime remaster or Advance Wars Re-Boot.

Shredder's Revenge

I am loving this game! Everything about it is so wonderfully polished and fun, a perfect blast from the 90s.

As for me, I just got Nobunaga's Ambition for Game Boy and I need an instruction manual. XD

Pokemon violet. I passed on it on release because of the bad reviews but I got a used switch lite with pokemon violet on facebook marketplace for 100 eur so I thought I might aswell. Super into this game. Played for 6 hours after "just one more gym". I might even buy the overpriced DLC

I've just finished Street Fighter 6 and Tears of the Kingdom and I'm working through Pokemon Ultra Sun at the moment; its fantastic.

I will probably jump to FF16 later on this year, but for now I will take a break with the huge games.

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

Street Fighter 6 is very high on my list of games to buy, would probably get in this month or next. By finished, do you mean the story mode where you create your own character? How long is it? And how did you like it?

And what about Tears of the Kindgom? As I asked someone below: How much did you do? All shrines? Koroks? Compendium?

Good luck with Pokemon Ultra Sun! And I can understand staying away from huge games. Once I am finished with TotK, I am planning to play a few smaller games (and resume couple of games I have paused), before I go for another big one.
