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

Switch: Raiden IV. NDS: Ketsui Death Label. Both are so much fun!

A retro-weekend!

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.

Just finished TOTK after like 150 hours. Now I’m moving on to Master Detective Rain Code!

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago

Congratulations!

Master Detective Rain Code looks great, do share your opinion next week.

Still playing E03 and replaying Pokemon Sword here and there. (Mostly post-game and DLC stuff.)

[–] slimerancher 1 points 2 years ago

How are you enjoying Etrian Odyssey? And how far along are you? According to howlongtobeat.com, it should take around 50-70 hours depending on how much stuff you are doing.

I liked Pokemon Sword (only Pokemon game I played, other than Let's Go), but didn't get the DLC. How is it compared to the base game?

GTA Online with my friend who only has an Xbox. I bought an Xbox and XBL just to game with him and he only plays sporadically every few months so I hop on when I can. After he gets back to not playing again I will go back to TOTK.

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.

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

I love Picross! I don't play it as a main game though, but pretty much always have a Picross game going on. I am currently on Picross S4. I'll add Pictooi to my list of Picross games to play.

Good next games, I still have to play both, but I am leaning towards Metroid Prime remaster first.

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

Yeah, I'm thinking Metroid as well...

But then I saw Tunic on a decent sale, so maybe I'll do that instead. Or maybe I should finish one of the many other PC games in the backlog first.... Just too much entertainment to get to.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 2 years ago

Haha, true first world problems. 😀

Nothing this weekend. Going to spend next Saturday night trying to get past the technodrome level in TMNT Shredders Revenge.
