Hello Everyone!
Let’s start a first ever, “What are you playing this weekend?”.
I am still completely enthralled by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I am about 50-60 hours in, and still have lots of explore. I don’t want to mention anything that might be a spoiler, but I think I should be around 60% done with the story. I am on media blackout about the game, so I don’t actually know how long it actually it is, but this is what it seems like. Of course, if I go by total amount of Shrines, or Koroks, I am probably just 10-20% of the total.
All my other games are on pause, probably not going to resume anything else until I have finished Zelda.
What about all of you? What are you playing?

I’m about 20 hours in, in Zelda TotK. It’s my first proper Zelda game, not counting what little OoT I played via emulator a long back. The game is stunning, so playable and atmospheric. It’s a true adventure game.
I’ve dropped it for a bit to play D4, but can’t wait to get back to Hyrule.
Welcome to the world of Zelda! It truly is a masterpiece.
If you start with TotK, it may be difficult to go back to BotW, but if you do play it later, I would love to hear your feedback.
If you want to play Zelda games, you can try the older ones through different NSO apps, SNES, Gameboy etc. but they are all very different from TotK / BotW, and not everyone enjoys older games.
I’ve dabbled a bit with OoT, TP and some other ones too, always found the games very intriguing with no lack of quality. Other games / things took priority so I never got far enough with any of them to actually say I’ve played a Zelda game.
Fair enough. There are so many good games coming out these days, if you want to play older games too, the list just keeps on increasing.
Same here, TotK all the way. ✌️ Same as you, haven’t read anything to not spoiler myself, but seems that I may be at 70% done. Already start feeling a bit of nostalgia just in case I happen to finnish it soon, it is so good 😄
Another run-through of Bioshock Infinite with some Dead by Daylight matches sprinkled in.
I really need to try Bioshock Infinite. Have only played the first one yet.
Dead by Daylight just got the Nic Cage character, is he already in game or coming sometime in future?
Oh, so lucky. I wish I could play through the Bioshock series for the first time again, and all the games are super cheap.
As for Nicolas Cage, he may be on the beta platform but he’s not live yet. It’ll be fun to play him once he is.
Really taking my time with TOTK, im refusing to upgrade hearts or stam so far
Wow, that takes dedication. The game is pretty tough without upgrading hearts, a single attack from a bokoblin can kill you.
Good luck for the play-through.
Probably going to be playing Steins gate elite, was able to get it on sale.
I have heard so much about Steins gate, but was never able to get into it.
I dusted off the WiiU to play Windwaker HD again. I’m just killing time before Pikmin 4.
I have never played Windwaker, hoping for a Switch remake / port. Or they can just add it in NSO.
Porting windwaker and twilight princess from WiiU to Switch would have been easy. I wonder why they have not done it yet.
Saw some random comment online, that they are Nintendo’s emergency backup games, when they have nothing else, they can quickly release them to fill the gap.
Personally, I can never understand how Nintendo thinks.
I’m still really deep into Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe 90 hours in and still only have gone through two of the regional/sage quests, because the side quests and adventures are really a lot of fun. Exploring the depths is super cool. While the sky islands seem to make up less of the game than I thought they would, they’re still a cool part of the game and I’m still exploring, side-questing, and occasionally getting back to the main story quests. Given all of that, why did I buy Diablo II for the Switch? Because it’s nearly 70% off right now and with some credit I had it was $10 and I got a lot of playtime out of DIII.
Wow, 90 hours and just two sage quests. I believe I would be fully done with the game when I reach such an hour count.
Sky islands are as big as depths, but some of them still have a kind of puzzle, on how to reach them, so it end up taking just as much time.
Diablo II is a classic, and at 70% off, it’s a must have! What do you think about Diablo IV? I am really interested in it, if it weren’t for TotK, I would probably be playing that.
There’s just so much to explore…every time I walk 5 feet in any direction I feel like I just started some other side quest lol. Maybe the perceived discrepancy in sky islands vs the depths can be explained by observing that the parts of the depths where there’s nothing really there would be the parts of the sky islands that are just sky? Haven’t played Diablo 4 yet, but have some friends that are really really into that franchise and have been enjoying it a lot.
Oh, that was a typo, I meant Sky Islands are not as big as depths.
But there are many Sky Islands which are above one another, well maybe not many, but still a few. I remember seeing one that had 6-7 floors.
Also, if the full sky was covered, there would be no sun, moon, rain etc. so they couldn’t do that either, makes sense from that point of view.
That makes sense, although I’m convinced the sky could be covered and I’m still going to start pouring just as I try to climb something lol
Disco Elysium. Porting a game with such a PC centric interface to Switch was an interesting choice, but I’m glad that they went with it. Fantastic game!
I keep hearing about Disco Elysium, I should play it soon.
Just finished BOTW this weekend and taking a break from Zelda. Picked up Pokemon Violet again but got distracted. Does Pokemon Violet get more engaging? I’m on the 3rd gym and I feel like they’re still holding my hand.
Botw gave me an experience that I haven’t had since Skyrim was new - I wanted to go out of my way to explore the whole world. Leave no piece of the map untouched.
Man, what I would give to experience Skyrim for the first time again.
I haven’t touched a Pokemon game since X/Y. Black and White 2 were where Pokemon peaked, imho. I checked out after X/Y.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is my Switch game for this weekend. I still have so much of the Depths to explore.
I’m completely hooked. There’s so much to do and the amount of times I’ve gotten sidetracked I can’t even count.
Same here, I keep getting distracted with different things.
Still chewing through TotK when I have free time to. Hoping I can get to a point where I’m happy taking a break by the time Pikmin 4 releases.
Good luck! Pikmin 4 looks pretty fun.
Taking a break from TOTK to play age of calamity. Skipped it way back and got the dynasty warriors itch again
Still playing TOTK. Such a vast world. I still haven’t completed many quests so far, I’m just running around exploring. There is something to see and do around every corner.
Currently playing Harvestella and loving it. I have TOTK but keep coming back to this one right now.
Not feeling motivated to try anything new, so will continue rotting playing Mario Kart 🥲
It happens. There are times when you don’t want to play anything new, and Mario Kart is kind of an eternal game.
Do you have the booster pack or just playing the original courses?
Now only original courses, but will probably buy booster pack soon. Not even sure why I haven’t already 😅
