Hello Everyone!

(Post got too long, if you want to skip, game names are in bold, you can just read those)

June is ending, and July is starting. For the US folks, that means 4th of July is coming! Another day to just play games, without worrying about work or school!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kindgom, about 75 hours in and very near the end, will probably finish it soon. Would have to wait and see, if I lose interest in rest of the stuff after finishing the main story, or want to keep exploring and doing other stuff. Details next, move to next paragraph, if you want to skip. I have done the last regional quest, I originally wanted to go back to exploring after that, but after getting all Tears and completing all regional quest, I wanted to focus on story and see how it ends, so left everything and went to the Castle. Haven't reached the final boss yet, but I think I am near the end now.

In non-Nintendo games, played a bit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge with my kid. We both had lots of fun with it, and going to continue playing it when we both have time. Only complaint I have is that 2nd player doesn't earn any trophies, but that isn't a big issue for me.

Also played a little of Monster Hunter: World, and I must say, Capcom, improve your multiplayer setup! It's so confusing. Only the host can watch cut-scene, and you can't play a mission whose cut-scene you haven't watched. So, if 4 players are playing, they all have to start the story mission separately, then during the mission when you come across the monster first time, there's a cut scene, after you have watched cut scene, all of you must abandon the quest and then one person can host the mission again and everyone else can join it. (Or all person except one can leave their mission and join that person's mission mid-way). Took us more than an hour to figure all that out. Not counting that, the game is really fun, but still not sure if we are going to stick to it.

Other than that, Marvel's Avengers is leaving PS+ Extra on 12 July. I usually don't prioritize games based on when they are leaving, but the game is shutting down in September and I don't want to spend money on it. So, even though I don't want to start another game right now, I am going to give it a try. The campaign is only 12 or so hours, and I have heard it is fun enough. So, plan to start it too. Not sure if I'll play the full campaign, but I want to give it a try.

So, what about all of you? What are you playing?

Edit: June doesn't have 31 days! facepalm

Still playing TOTK. Still have plenty to do.

[–] Nameproblem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Zelda Totk, currently in last temple but planning to explore and get sken armour and batteries before continuing further in the story once completed.

50 hours in and loving it :)

I got accepted into Division Heartland closed beta. Gonna be playing that.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Congratulations, where are you playing it? Is it PC only yet?

I have never played any of the Tom Clancy games (other than little bit of first Division, but gave up because of the grindy nature of the game), let us know how you are liking the game.

Switch: Raiden IV. NDS: Ketsui Death Label. Both are so much fun!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A retro-weekend!

[–] Zed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

After 240+ hours on TOTK, I finally finished it, I didn't know what to play for a few days, but then I started South Park The Fractured But Whole and I'm having a blast, I am a fan of the show and I love how the games feel just like an episode or a movie, I hope they make a third one down the line.

I've just finished Street Fighter 6 and Tears of the Kingdom and I'm working through Pokemon Ultra Sun at the moment; its fantastic.

I will probably jump to FF16 later on this year, but for now I will take a break with the huge games.

I'm playing Sparklite and Dragon Quest Builders 2!

[–] SuperEars@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I took a chance on DQB2 and really liked it!

Pinky: What are we doing this weekend, Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every weekend...We're going to take over Hyrule!

Also on TotK, slightly behind you. Finished the fourth regional quest but haven't reported back to Purah yet.

!Spoiler alert! My plans are to do that, then the Korok forest, followed by the extra tear and the fifth sage (who I had stumbled upon before even finishing my second temple). Then I'll just... dick around for months instead of going to the castle. :D

TOTK — 4th sage quest on death mountain rn

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

An interesting choice, to leave this one for last. Why did you do that? 😀

[–] Pringles@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pikmin 4 demo and Diablo IV.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Reading your name is making me hungry!

How are you liking the demo? Planning to buy the game?

And what about Diablo IV? I am very excited for it, but probably won't have time to play it any time soon. What is the main class you are using?

[–] six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been playing a lot of Pictooi lately. I've got a few more puzzles to wrap up and then I'll be done with the normal mode (unless theres some secret unlocks).

After that, it's either the Metroid Prime remaster or Advance Wars Re-Boot.

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

I love Picross! I don't play it as a main game though, but pretty much always have a Picross game going on. I am currently on Picross S4. I'll add Pictooi to my list of Picross games to play.

Good next games, I still have to play both, but I am leaning towards Metroid Prime remaster first.

Shredder's Revenge

I am loving this game! Everything about it is so wonderfully polished and fun, a perfect blast from the 90s.

As for me, I just got Nobunaga's Ambition for Game Boy and I need an instruction manual. XD

Still playing E03 and replaying Pokemon Sword here and there. (Mostly post-game and DLC stuff.)

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How are you enjoying Etrian Odyssey? And how far along are you? According to howlongtobeat.com, it should take around 50-70 hours depending on how much stuff you are doing.

I liked Pokemon Sword (only Pokemon game I played, other than Let's Go), but didn't get the DLC. How is it compared to the base game?

[–] tomcatt360@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be shooting bugs in mines with dwarves in Deep Rock Galactic. ROCK AND STONE!

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

Nice! I played a mission or two once, but didn't enjoyed it much playing solo. I have heard it's really fun playing with friends though. Maybe I should try to convince some friends to give it a try...

[–] pe1uca@lemmy.pe1uca.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm thinking on playing MH:Rise but I also want to play the GBA Fire Emblem.

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

Haven't played either, but I think GBA Fire Emblem might be a shorter game, if that matters. Would love to know what you ended up playing.

[–] pe1uca@lemmy.pe1uca.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hehe, my wife and I ended up playing Mario 3D world to finish the story and just started bowser's fury :P
MH:Rise is just to continue playing it, I already finished it but it's a great game to mindlessly play when getting bored.

I'm 180 hours into ToTK and i'm still discovering new things on the map. I'm stoked that there's still so much more to discover.

I'm also playing Dragon Quest XI and it's really fun so far.

Still on TotK. 115 hours in. I've been at the last bit for a while, just going around and doing lightroots and shrines still. Lightroots are done, and about 20 shrines left.

I'm still considering if I want to do FF16 next. The demo had really bad motion blur and I kinda want to wait to see if they patch it before I spend money.

I still have plenty of other games in my backlog, so I don't know that it's a big loss if I wait. (Unless serious spoilers start getting out, which seems like it might be a problem with this one?)

Pokemon violet. I passed on it on release because of the bad reviews but I got a used switch lite with pokemon violet on facebook marketplace for 100 eur so I thought I might aswell. Super into this game. Played for 6 hours after "just one more gym". I might even buy the overpriced DLC

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Glad you are loving the game. Have you played the previous Pokemon games? Or are you new to the series?
