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?

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

I got accepted into Division Heartland closed beta. Gonna be playing that.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Congratulations, where are you playing it? Is it PC only yet?

I have never played any of the Tom Clancy games (other than little bit of first Division, but gave up because of the grindy nature of the game), let us know how you are liking the game.

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 :)

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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?

[-] TimesEcho@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's doable if you don't go for too much exploration.

[-] piposaurus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Which temple did you leave for last?

[-] Nameproblem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Zed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] Zed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not at all lol, I just love exploring and taking my time so it adds up, and just a few days ago I decided that I finally should finish the game, it was an awesome experience all the way through, my only complaint would be combat, I was hoping it had improved since botw but nope.

I think the South Park games should be given a chance even if you are not a fan of the show, they stand very well on their own as fun RPGs.

[-] roxas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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?

[-] six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

Nice! I played a mission or two once, but didn't enjoyed it much playing solo. I have heard it's really fun playing with friends though. Maybe I should try to convince some friends to give it a try...

[-] pe1uca@lemmy.pe1uca.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking on playing MH:Rise but I also want to play the GBA Fire Emblem.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't played either, but I think GBA Fire Emblem might be a shorter game, if that matters. Would love to know what you ended up playing.

[-] pe1uca@lemmy.pe1uca.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Hehe, my wife and I ended up playing Mario 3D world to finish the story and just started bowser's fury :P
MH:Rise is just to continue playing it, I already finished it but it's a great game to mindlessly play when getting bored.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My little one loved Bowser's Fury, she was too young to play it when I did, but she loved the Fury version of Bowser. She now call Bowser, "Bowser Fury". When watching the Super Mario Bros movie there was a regular argument between the kids,

"It's Bowser Fury"

"It's not Bowser's Fury, it's just normal Bowser. Bowser's Fury is that big one"

"It's Bowser Fury again!"

"Nooo, it's not Bowser's Fury...". 😃

Yeah, I didn't get the attraction of MH before but now that I am playing, I can totally understand that. Though, I am still at the stage where I have to be cautious against the new/big monsters.

[-] corLeone@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the game is great in this regard. Yesterday in TotK Inventions post, saw someone mention that they have played over 200 hours, and haven't come across "Construct Head" zonai device yet.

With lack of time to play games, I am starting to like linear games more, but I don't feel any time passing when playing TotK. A truly marvelous game.

[-] treed@lemmy.zenithia.net 1 points 1 year ago

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?)

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lightroots are easy to find if you have done enough shrines. I still have more than half of them remaining though.

I am a very patient gamer, generally speaking, most games I play years after release, and for some reason I have been pretty lucky with most spoilers, still haven't played The Last of Us 2, and haven't seen any spoilers yet. Final Fantasy XVI is on my must play list, but there are so many other games I still have to play, so probably won't get around to play it before at least an year (well, a few years if I am completely honest).

Like many of us, still rocking TotK here. My wife and son played the Pikmin demo for a while today and that looks to be the next game we buy.

In non-Nintendo stuff, I’m at some point going to work more on my PSVR2 backlog. I bought a handful of games when it released but due to some major life events, and the inconvenience of headers, I haven’t been able to play much.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! How far along are you in TotK? And as for Pikmin, have you played the previous games in the series? Or Pikmin 4 is going to be your first one?

How are you finding PSVR2? I wanted to get it, but the price is a bit expensive (maybe not for a VR unit, just in general), so postponed it for now. Are there fun full games? Or is it mostly small experiences?
