Playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, killing demons and dragons, making alliances, removing obstacles. I can see why people loved this game so much.

I finished The Last Campfire soon after posting like week's thread.

Started The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the first time ever, on Switch using NSO subscription. I was expecting a very dated gaming experience, but it doesn't feel too bad. The gameplay is still fun. There was some issue with getting used to the controls on Switch, but I think I have gotten the hang of it now. Basically have to remember to not use right stick, and things work out fine.

I have left the forest, and am now in Goron dungeon. Got slightly stuck in couple of places but not enough to look up anything yet, it's still early in the game though, so who knows how it goes.

Edit: I dropped Helldivers 2, while the game seems really fun, it just isn't for me. I am not sure why exactly, but I think it's because the game has no narrative and no proper end point. I like to play and finish the games, but can't do that if game never finishes.

What about all of you? What have you been playing, or planning to play over the weekend?

They all sound like non-answers to me. They can't say anything about anything specific, they are making more games, they will keep making more games.

It's a GIF, so there's no sound.

I'll take my leave now...

The first paragraph remineds me of motto of EDC community "two is one, one is none"; and while you can't have a backup for each individual employees, having some redundancy is just more efficient in the long run.

I played Ori 1 recently and enjoyed it a lot. Not a perfect game, some sections / design choices felt a bit dated but other that, a very good game. And yean, the music is pretty nice.

Happens. Hope you got time to play over the weekend,

Someone mentioned it here too, I think. Basically switch to controller configuration 1.2 in the game, then in Switcn settings, swap the left and right sticks. That's the general gist of it, though, there might be other changes too.

I have to agree about the controls, and have the same issue with right analogue and c buttons.

I am still super early, so haven't gotten stuck anywhere, let's see how long that lasts.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I have just left the forest, and the game is still fun. My biggest issue right now is the controls on Switch. Not a deal breaker though, at least not yet.

[–] slimerancher 2 points 6 days ago (5 children)

That's nice. I just finished The Lamp Campfire and started Ocarina of Time, for the first time ever!

[–] slimerancher 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I wanted to try Perfect Dark too, but went for Goldeneye first. Haven't played it seriously yet, but did setup the controls and played the first mission a little bit.

Headline makes it sound like he is some kind of villain revealing his evil plot.

 

A slow week for my existing games, as I played mostly multiplayer games this week.

Tried some Star Wars: Hunters, it's a free-to-play 4v4 multiplayer game, that is only on mobiles and Switch. I saw the free-to-play and completely ignored the game, but then heard the SwitchUp guy (don't remember which one was it :S ) liking it, so gave it a try, and had lots of fun with it.

It may end up as a pay 2 win, but for now, you can unlock all characters without paying anything, and there is no way to get stronger by paying (other than maybe unlocking characters and maxing their levels quickly). I am not sure if I'll play it too much, but it's a fun game to jump in for a game or two when you aren't in a mood to play a longer game, or just to pass some time.

Also played some Helldivers 2 on PS5, and while the game is fun, I couldn't really get into it. Maybe because the friends I joined were all pretty high level and they pretty much carried me through the initial levels, so didn't get to experience the nitty gritty of the game much. Even when I joined the randoms, they were all in their 30s when I was level 4. I'll probably try it one or two more times to see if I can get into it, but right now it doesn't seem like I'll play it after that.

This weekend, I plan to get back to Dragon Age: Inquisition on PS and The Last Campfire on Switch. Hope to finish The Last Campfire as it's a pretty small game and I think I am reaching the end.

What about all of you? What have you playing lately? And what do you plan to play this weekend?

 

Coming in 2024

 

Fae Farm's 2nd content update.

Hmm.. interesting. It makes sense that they improved some stuff in the sequel, but everyone has different taste, and what one finds interesting, others can find boring.

I recently read that DQ-III remake will have quality of life improvements, like recall functionality from DQ-VI (just what I have read, haven't played either of those games), so they probably modernized some other things too, and will probably do the same for DQ-I and II. Would just have to wait and see.

 

Didn't play much this week. Mainly continuing with Dragon Age: Inquisition, plus some more puzzles in The Last Campfire.

My wife, who generally doesn't play games, got back into Tetris 99, even reaching 2nd in a gruelling match. Also playing some single player Tetris in Puyo Puyo Tetris.

What about all of you? What have you been playing? Or planning to play over the weekend?
