Hello Everyone,
This week passed way too quickly. It seems like I didn’t do much. There aren’t any significant updates form my side.
Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn’t. So, no changes here.
In non-nintendo gaming, still playing the same games, without much change:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
- Monster Hunter: World
- Marvel’s Avengers
For Marvel’s Avengers, the game started strong, but went downhill quickly due to all the Live Service elements. It could’ve been a fun game if they had stuck with single player. I am near the end of main campaign, and will delete it as soon as I complete it. Probably just need 2-3 hours more.
That’s all from my side, what about you guys? What are you playing? And how are you enjoying it?
You must log in or register to comment.
Still working through ToTK tbh ngl. That game just has SO MUCH CONTENT.
It does! And most of it’s optional, so if someone doesn’t want to explore it, they can just ignore it.
How far along are you? And how many hours have you spent?
I’ve done the four sage dungeon things, and put probs 90 hours into the game. Mostly been doing side stuff up until this point, and somehow I still haven’t run out!
Yeah, the game has lots of side quests and activities to do. And some of the quest lines are pretty interesting. There are also still a few main quests left where you are, so you can do some of those too, if you want.
You’re not alone on TotK. I’m still working on it too. Been taking my time to enjoy it, and the number of hours of gaming time isn’t what it once was.
Yeah, this isn’t the kind of game you should rush through. As for gaming time, that’s the issue with growing up, but the good thing is, whenever you have time, there are games waiting for you.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2
Zelda TOTK
How are you enjoying Tony Hawk Pro Skater? I have heard some people say 1 and 2 are best of the series. Is that true?
And how far along are you in TotK?
I love it! I actually play more Tony Hawk than TOTK! The progress tracking across the different pro skaters and challenges is what keeps me going. That adds so much replayability.
I’m only ~10hrs into TOTK…
Nice. Well, as long as you are enjoying what you are playing, what does it matter which game you are playing more or less. 😀
Have fun!
Hey, im gonna be playing some Mario kart this evening we should organize some lemmy races
Yeah, a Lemmy Mario Kart tournament!
Do you have Booster Pack? If yes, how are you liking it? If not, why not?
Im definitely liking the booser packs the slow roll out is kind of annoying but i guess it keeps engagement up. Other then that though the changing courses are very welcome to me.
I want to try out the Pikmin 4 demo and finally launch Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. I bought it ages ago, but haven’t even tried it yet. I have a disgusting backlog. But this weekend, I want to give my Switch some love.
Well, I have stopped impulse buying of games. No matter how many good or great sales pass me by, I don’t buy a game, until I reach the point where I say, “I’ll play this game next”.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a great game BTW, highly recommended. If you like it, also get the DLC.
… I impulse bought the DLC 😅🥲🥲
Haha, good choice.
Finishing up Pikmin 2 endgame before 4 comes out in a couple weeks
Nice! How long was Pikmin 2? And are you going to play Pikmin 3 or already played it before?
About 10 hours I think to credits, but there’s a whole 4th area you don’t even unlock until finishing the game, so I’m still working through that. I played Pikmin 3 when it came out on Wii U and then again when it came out on switch, so I’m all set there
I just did the same! Was surprised to see the fourth area after the credits rolled. Having tons of fun with Pikmin 2, very excited to play 3 and 4 when it comes out!
Play all four games back to back? Won’t that cause a bit of burn out?
Ah cool. Thanks for the info.
I keep playing TotK. I’ve done a few more shrines, caves and got the Master Sword.
Also, for some reason I got Sonic Origin Plus and finished the first Sonic game. I grew up with Nintendo and only rarely played Sonic at friends’ house. It’s not the first time I play it, but definitely the first time I finish it. I feel like this game had so much potential, but the level design is pretty bad, and ends up being the poor man’s Mario. It’s still fun at times, but I hope Sonic 2, Knuckles and CD get better.
What? I haven’t gotten the Master Sword yet!
I grew up with Sega, and have played the Sonic 1 and 2 about a gazillion times and I am still not sure how you are supposed to play them? Are you supposed to keep running? Or play it slow and steady? I really like Sonic and Tails as the characters though.
I won’t spoil it, but based on previous comments I think you have the requirements to get the Master Sword. DM me if you want me to point you in the direction in a not too spoilery way 😅
I’m so glad someone who grew up with Sega thinks similar about Sonic! It’s a sanity check for me. I thought “maybe I’m too biased and expect this to be Mario when it’s clearly not Mario”. But I’m not, and I don’t. I play many different kinds of games and I’m not expecting Sonic to be Mario. But it’s a game that’s all about “going fast”. However, if you go fast, you’re punished with awkwardly placed enemies or obstacles which completely ruin the flow of each level. And Sonic is agile only when doing the spin or running for a while. When you’re trying to go slow and steady, he’s extremely slow and clunky. I understand there’s a “faster/better” path on the high levels and slower path on the lower levels, but it still doesn’t work as one would expect.
I started Sonic 2 and it’s not much better. And as I said, there’s lots of potential. It seems like an issue with level design, where they didn’t do much play testing and just put things randomly around the level. I’m still going to finish 2 and probably continue with 3 and Sonic CD. I hope there’s a progression in level design in newer installments. I’m going to go back to Sonic Mania after this too, see how that one feels after playing the originals. Sonic Superstars looks pretty cool, I’m hoping it’s fun and uses the potential I’m seeing in these 2D Sonic games!
Oh, and forgot to mention that I found out about the sword. I am there now, let’s see if I get it or they send me somewhere else.
I haven’t played Sonic Mania, but it has been highly regarded for being similar to older games, like 1 and 2, so not sure about the level design.
I would love to see your review after playing Sonic Mania, if it’s like 1 and 2, it just means we are the odd ones who don’t know how to play Sonic games.
As for Sonic Superstars, it looks great, and I am looking forward to it. Let’s hope it’s as fun to play as it looks.
Mario Kart Wii. The GameCube/ Wii era was the best imo.
Switch is my first Nintendo console, so for me Switch will probably remain the best era.
Why do you like the Gamecube / Wii era the best?
I’ve been mainly playing Zelda and ignoring main quests as much as I can. But this weekend I’ll play the new splatfest in splatoon
Same here! Just started TotK
Splatoon is one of those game that I really want to play, but never end up getting it cause I don’t play multiplayer much, and don’t have any friends who are interested in playing it.
How are you enjoying it? Do yo play it with friends or just random players?
As for Zelda, I was doing mix of main quest and exploration, but have recently jumped straight into the main quest, want to know the full story! 😀
I was the same about splatoon initially. I rarely play any multiplayer games so I was a bit sceptical at first. But gameplay looked fun so I decided to give it a try and it was a blast. I have so much fun playing it even though I am relatively bad at it. I play with randos because I don’t know a single person irl who has a switch besides a coworker of mine. He doesn’t play splatoon btw.
As for Zelda, I am going in waves. Did the first sky island and then a bunch of exploration, then decided to dive into the story and collected all the memories and did 2 temples, I then returned to random exploration until I tried to do both last temples but I gave up midway as I got sidetracked by other stuff.
Glad to know you are enjoying Splatoon. If I ever get around to getting it, will give you a shout.
Still rocking Tears of the Kingdom, awesome game
A really awesome game! How far along are you?
Story wise, I’ve finished 2 temples, and I’m still missing a couple of tears/cutscenes. Feels like this games will last forever (probably at least the rest of the year)
Haha, yeah. Last week I was sure I am about to finish the game, and there is still much to do.
Well, if the game is worth it, I don’t mind playing it slowly over a long period of time, but I do add another game or two to play with it in that case, otherwise I start feeling like I am missing out on everything.
Yeah no hurry, this game is awesome for dropping in and invest a couple of hours here and there 👀
Just got a Switch for my gf and me soooo… Animal Crossing lol.
Need to start BOTW too.
Congratulations! Welcome to the Nintendo Family!
Animal Crossing is a very addicting game, if you like these kind of games. Even my non-gamer wife has over 150 hours in it.
Oooh, starting BotW for the first time. Enjoy the experience!
I’m just on the cusp of beating Metroid Prime. Amazing game if you haven’t played it.
I haven’t actually. I was playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 when they shadow dropped it, and now playing Tears of the Kingdom. It’s very high on my list though. Will probably play it within this year.
Have you played the original? Or remake is the first time you are experiencing it?
Oh nice! I’ve never played a Xenoblade game and have been really curious about 3. And Prime is what I jumped to after TOTK.
I played the original Prime in high school, but just did not have the skills or awareness to get anywhere with it, so while I remember it vaguely, this might as well be the first time I’ve played it haha.
I think if you want to play Xenoblade, you should start with 1. There wasn’t any direct connection between these games before, but with 3, there is. That being said, 3 is the best one in my opinion.
Ah, that’s great. Have fun
Yeah I think the premise of 3 was the most appealing to me of the bunch.
Can physical copies of 1 still be found easily?
I am not much in physical copies, but they are available from amazon at least.
Probably Tetris 99 (my go to “I just want to zone out and play” game), and I might pick TotK back up (I’m really early in the game). I bought The House in Fata Morgana last month and haven’t started it yet, so I’ve got that for an option too.
How’s Tetris 99 doing these days? I played a little in the beginning, would usually jump in for maximus cup or when they were giving away themes. Haven’t played in a long time now though.
TotK is of course great, but it isn’t a game you should rush through. Just play at your own pace and enjoy it.
I have played The House in Fata Morgana, but have heard good things about it. So, that’s not bad choice too.
Good luck with your games!
It’s still around, sometimes joining a 99 game can take a few minutes (the longest I’ve waited has been like 2, if that)! Some issues dropping connection but it’s very rare.
Yeah I’m still working through the shrine levels, Hyrule will be fine until I get to it. And same, the art style for Morgana and plot really drew me to it so I’m excited.
Thanks you too!
Thanks for the info, maybe I’ll give it a try again sometimes.
I am almost done with Pokemon Ultra Sun and will be starting Signalis this weekend; I don’t usually play a lot of horror games anymore but this one reminds of me the older Resident Evil and Silent Hill games.
I am also not a fan of horror games, but keeping an eye on Signalis. Do share how you like it.
Playing Advance Wars. I finished the first campaign couple days ago and now I’m trying to get the 100%
Nice. How long was the campaign? And what else do you need to do to get to 100%?
The first campaign took me 9.5h according to the in- game clock but I believe only counts battle time so it should be 10-11h real time.
To get the 100% you have to beat every mission on the map. There is one that’s hidden. Rank and score is irrelevant for 100%.
Ah, interesting.
Thanks for the info.
