Hello Everyone!

It's time for this week's, "What are you playing" thread.

I wasn't able to give as much time to gaming as I thought, who knew running a community can take so much time. Even when all members are so great, and I don't have to moderate anything.

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.

Other than that, me and wife just got NSO Expansion pass, and started the Happy Home Paradise DLC, while resuming our Animal Crossing play-through. Just cleaning the long neglected island, and helping Harv build the shops.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

I've been splitting my time mostly between ToTK and Metroid Prime Remaster, feels like a pretty good combo to break things up between. Just finally picked up It Takes Two, so I'll probably see if the wife wants to game with me a bit tonight or tomorrow after she's home from work.

[–] xektor17@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’m finally getting back to playing TOTK and my love for this game increases every single minute I spend in it.

I absolutely adore this game!

[–] Thebazilly@pathfinder.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom! I've been playing it nearly every waking moment of free time since it came out and it still feels like there is so much left to explore. I'm at 3 sages and 80 shrines, so I know I'm roughly 75% done, but there are so many discoveries that I just keep tripping over constantly.

still tears of the kingdom. before that was a long dry spell for the switch because of the steam deck I got

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Switch is a great place for indies... but Steam is even better.

How is Steam Deck's size, looks too big for longer sessions. Is it comfortable?

[–] cities@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

never had an issue with it. it's ergonomically perfect for me and more comfortable than switch with original joycons. I do often play it docked though.

I was planning on finishing BoTW so I can start play ToTK, but I literally just bought another voucher and I have no idea what new games to get with it (if any at all at the moment).

Gosh it's overwhelming.

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

TOTK still, because once Pikmin 4 comes out I will switch to that

still haven’t even beat a single ‘regional phenomena’ yet… can’t stop myself from randomly exploring, which is honestly my favorite part of botw/totk anyway

Finished ToTK and now exploring and doing side-quests. I have a rule of no fast travel and it's so much fun

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's taking me so long with fast travel. Without fast travel, I may never play another game. It does sound fun though. I did that in Skyrim (but not in my first play-through), and enjoyed it immensely.

[–] guyman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Been replaying Sunshine and just started Wind Waker again. I'm really loving these older games. I wish I could appreciate them more in the past. Oh well, there's always the future!

[–] alvarolh@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I still haven't finished TotK and a couple of days ago I bought Octopath Traveler 1 & 2! It was a bit of an impulse buy but they were on sale and I've been eager to play them ever since I played the demo of the first one in 2018 I believe, I'm very excited!!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

All great choices.

I have heard Octopath Traveler 2 improves on 1 in every way, so better to hold off on that until you have had your fill of 1.

[–] jaded@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably some D4 and street fighter 6. Picked up Steins gate elite on sale though so might start that.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Diablo IV and Street Fighter 6 are both great choices.

[–] thebutler@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

nearing the end of the ToTK main story (i think), so i’ve been debating how heavy i want to go into all the side quests. I can’t believe how much this community has grown, you’re crushing it as the mod!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thanks, it's really appreciated.

The game is huge, and sometimes it's okay to consider the game finished after the main story is done, nothing wrong with that. For instance, I am never going for all the koroks. Even all the shrines aren't necessary, but I'll try to do most of the side-quests. At least that's the plan for now.

Gonna try to complete my lunatic playthrough of Fire Emblem Engage on Lunatic Mode. Also try to get in some time to play Tears of the Kingdom.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How are you liking FE Engage? Most people I know prefer Three Houses over it, and didn't like Engage much.

Almost at the end of the vanilla portion of my 100-hour journey through Persona 5 Royal. That'll leave just the extra semester/true ending left to play before I can finally move on to Tears of the Kingdom, lol. I tend not to play more than one game at a time, especially not really big games like P5R or TotK. Each deserves my full attention or I'd never finish them.

Finally finished my vanilla Persona 5 playthrough on my PS4 a few weeks back, so last week started my playthrough of Persona 5 Royal, and will likely continue that.

I started playing an indie game called In Other Waters, played for a hour and I dig the vibe so far.

Other than that I will be playing TotK. I finished all regional main quests, I might try to push the main story further.

I also finished main story + secret ending of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Finished the game at 84%. I will definitely attempt to get 100%.

I play Fire Emblem Engage. Just finished a Ironman run and maybe try to beat the DLC mapps as well with my now limited army

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Someone else also mentioned in the post that they are playing Engage, and I asked them how they are liking it, and going to ask you the questions.

How are you liking FE Engage? Have you played Three Houses? Most people I know prefer Three Houses over it, and didn’t like Engage much.

I never got around to playing Breath of the Wild so the release of ToTK felt like a great time to finally give it a try! Still working my way through veeeery slowly, just about to take on my second divine beast.

[–] iamlyth@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

They have completely separate roles and moods. Breath of the Wild feels so much like Princess Mononoke and it’s space and exploration feels like a gaming equivalent of meditating

I'm playing Tears of The Kingdom of course. Side from that I'm feeling like playing Persona 4 Golden. My local weather an vibes feel kinda like this game right now, do maybe that will inspire me trip finish it.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Persona 4 Golden is a great game, how far along are you? Or going to start a new play-through?

FF Thearythm & Zelda TOTK on Switch, Baten Kaitos on GC, and Mario & Luigi Superstar saga on GBA (only short games of course :p). Oh and I am also playing Pokemon Stadium 2 on N64 😅.

Jokes aside, I started too many games this time, I am not generally this busy ^^.

Monster hunter rise was on sale so I might give it try I loved the previous game in the series. I also need to "finish" kenshi at some point
