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’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.

    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

        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.

    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.

    Some TotK and some Monster Hunter maybe some Advanced Wars sprinkled in.

    So much to do so little time!

      Haha, I know that feeling. I have such a huge backlog of games. Still haven’t played Astral Chain or Super Mario Bros U Deluxe… so many games, and so little time.

      Which Monster Hunter are you playing? Rise? I may start World with some friends soon, not sure how much we will play.

        Yup, Rise is correct. I play with a buddy of mine once a week. Although we hunt since the release of rise, we just finished the sunbreak story and slowly fighting our way through the anomalies. Life often gets in the way but MH is easy to pick up where you left it or to play even when there is not much time.

    Pokémon Scarlet. I’ve got a bunch of the ominous stakes to find still, I was really trying to not use a guide but it’s been a few weeks now. Even with the performance issues I still really enjoy the story.

    I also still need to get back to grinding for all the master trainer titles in Pokémon Let’s Go. We’ll see, as I get older it’s harder and harder to finish games at all.

      Finding the stakes without a guide is definitely a pain in the ass. But I definitely agree that the game is very fun, even with all the bugs and the performance issues.

    I finished ToTK, and realised I’d been missing out on some lore, so I’ll be playing Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity.

    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.

    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.
