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'm on my billionth play through of Legends Arceus, but I may give Etrian Odyssey three a try!

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

I guess there is no point in asking if you liked Legends Arceus, but how do you compare it with Scarlet and Violet?

Also, why Etrian Odyssey three? Why not 1 and 2?

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

Haha!

So, I love Scarlet and Violet as well, for different reasons. PLA was an excellent story. It felt very complete in terms of what it was. Meanwhile, I'm basically foaming at the mouth over the DLC for S/V. One feels like watching a really good movie and the other feels like watching a really great series, if that makes sense?

As for EO3. It's purely by happenstance. My husband was playing it and I decided to pick it up. :)

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

Heh, good for you!

I have only played Let's Go Pikachu, and then Sword/Shield. While I enjoyed them both, it didn't make me excited to try PLA or S/V, so skipped them both. I may give the next one they release, a try, but not sure yet. Will decide when they announce it.

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

I can relate. I don't enjoy every Zelda game or every Final Fantasy game and will skip multiple in a row. The earlier Pokemon games also don't hold my attention very well. My interest was someone piqued by Gen 5 (good story) and I've really enjoyed gens 8 and 9.

I am very curious about what the next gen will bring. I'm eyeing that Persona 5 spin-off too, but it's a series I haven't actually played before, despite its popularity.

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

Yeah, there are genres and series we love, and will play every game in it, and then there are games we don't care about that much...

If you are interested in Persona, just start with Persona 5 Royal, it's same as Persona 5 but with improvements, and one more semester at the end. But all the spin-offs are different genre, so just because you like the base game doesn't mean you will like the spin-off or vice versa.

I'd be playing Zelda: TotK but my wife currently has occupied the lazyboy almost every night for the past month. Thank goodness for Diablo and SF6...

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Still playing TTOK and Gnosia. Gnosia is a really good werewolf style game with overarching story and the KI is actually quite good.

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

I'm playing Jack Jeanne, just started the game but I think I'll like it as I've been looking for a visual novel with more interactive elements than story only.

[–] 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!

[–] piposaurus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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 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.

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

I might try to finish Pikmin 3 before 1, 2 and 4 hit!

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

Well, 1 and 2 are already available on eShop. Unless you are waiting for physical, that isn't out yet, I think.

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

Yes I'm waiting for the physical release, as I already have 3 in physical, and wanted to have all 4 in my drawer, for some weird reason.

[–] MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago

After a few months of moving about between hotels, I finally got everything all set up a my new place, so I've been enjoying some splatoon 3 again, along with legends arceus.
