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?
Oh yeah TLOZ:TOTK is my go to right now. I’m at the point where I can battle Mr demon king but been side questing and all that jazz now first. I wanna go in and just obliterate him, so I’m focusing on getting the rest of the shrines etc beforehand and collecting better armour blah blah blah
I hope the final fight is better than BOTW. Calamity Gannon was kind of anti-climatic boss. Fighting a group of Guardians was tougher than Gannon. 😀
Good luck clearing the game.
Disclaimer I also haven’t fought the final boss.
I wouldn’t count on the Demon King being a terrible difficult fight. You have to remember that it’s a storyline quest, so it has to be achievable by the least common denominator. If you really want a challenge, you should explore the depths under the southwest region of Hyrule Field ;)
You are right, it makes sense.
I actually don’t want a very tough fight either, I remember some older games where I wouldn’t have any trouble through out the game and then I would get stuck at the final boss. But they have conditioned me to not feel the game has ended until I go through a tough final boss.
I actually did explored those area, but I was mostly running away from things 😀
Same for me. I will keep going with tears. I am 80 hours and I feel like I have barely scratched the surface. There’s so much to do.
Also I will play a bit of Pokémon Scarlet to farm the Chesnaught and Donphan paradox forms raids.
Yeah, it seems like it’s a minimum of 100 hours game, unless you don’t do anything other than the main quest.
I’ll probably get a couple hours of totk in this weekend, and that’s it. I’ve got way too much going on outside of gaming this particular weekend lol
Happens to all of us. There’ll be enough time for games afterwards.
Recently got Splatoon 3, really fun when I don’t get disconnected
How is the network now? I heard disconnection was a common problem in the beginning?
I’ve only played for a couple of weeks, but I’d say over 50% of games end early because of a player leaving or network errors.
Oh. Isn’t there any penalty system for users who leave the game early?
Nintendo really need to improve their network, their games are most troublesome to play online. I regularly have lag when playing Smash, but I can play Brawlhalla without any issue. Same for a few other games.
Tears
of the Kingdom?
Correct!!! It’s sooooo good!!
It is! What a gaaaaame!
I’m bloody addicted mate!

Super Mario Bros U Deluxe with friend, the princess crown powerup is a very stupid edition, why didn’t they make it for all characters?
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.
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.
Are you planning to Play Persona 5 Strikers and / or just announced Persona 5 Tactica?
I am right there with you with not playing more than one big game. They do deserve the full attention.
Not Strikers, I have enough musou-style games and I don’t need another one. I haven’t seen Tactica’s trailer yet, but if it’s a strategy RPG like Fire Emblem or Triangle Strategy I’ll probably get it since that’s my favorite genre.
Tactica looks like a tactical game like FE or Triangle Strategy, with chibbi-ish characters. Would like to hear your opinions when you finally see it.
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.
Persona 4 Golden is a great game, how far along are you? Or going to start a new play-through?
I think I’m currently a little after Kanji’s Midnight Channel. I’ll continue from there.
Ah, good luck!
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.
P5 Strikers is on sale this week. Get it now if you think you’re going to play it.
I think I grabbed it on PS Plus back when it was free, I’ll double check that
still tears of the kingdom. before that was a long dry spell for the switch because of the steam deck I got
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?
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.
That’s nice. I haven’t actually held it, just thought it looked too big from online photos.
Good to know that it’s comfortable.
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.
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 getting ready for a local Splatoon 3 tournament in Philly this weekend, put together a quick pickup team for it. Also slowly working through Persona 5 Royal, just finished the third palace.
I’m still playing Minecraft, new update just dropped.
How do you play it? Creative or Survival? Or those themed DLCs, like the Incredibles ones that just dropped?
Creative mostly, I have a bunch of builds I cycle through. Right now I’m building a dwarven city. I have a few DLCs but I rarely play them.
