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

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] mcc@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

PC only, unfortunately the NDA forbids any public discussion on it.

[-] Blxter@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

As you talk about it ;) lmao. I am in it aswell though. I am disappointed in the game.

[-] mcc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How they murdered one of my favorite game. They chose to just ignore those of us who liked the OG game, and used the brand to attract an entire different group of audience. Hoping for division 3.

[-] Blxter@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It actually made me and my friend buy div 2 on PC as I never bought div 2 on PC before this. I am really hoping for a div 3 or another game like the div. With a dark zone area type with actually rpg elements and build crafting.

[-] corLeone@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

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.

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

Yeah, the game is great in this regard. Yesterday in TotK Inventions post, saw someone mention that they have played over 200 hours, and haven't come across "Construct Head" zonai device yet.

With lack of time to play games, I am starting to like linear games more, but I don't feel any time passing when playing TotK. A truly marvelous game.

[-] Zed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Wow, 240+ hours! That's really something. I don't think I am going to cross 100 hours anytime soon. How much did you do? All shrines? Koroks? Compendium?

I have never seen South Park so never got interested in the game, but I have heard from lots of people that it's really fun. Glad you are enjoying it!

Just started Zelda TOTK, slow burning it at the moment, will probably play persona 5 after this.

Dragon Quest XI. About 6 hours in and I'm absolutely loving it!

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Dragon Quest XI is a great game. I started it, but the game is on pause right now, will get back to it after TotK.. How far along are you? Reached the first city?

[-] hoodlem@hoodlem.me 0 points 1 year ago

Yep! Made it to the first city and now I’m’ off again where I’m going to where the adventure takes me next.

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 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm thinking Metroid as well...

But then I saw Tunic on a decent sale, so maybe I'll do that instead. Or maybe I should finish one of the many other PC games in the backlog first.... Just too much entertainment to get to.

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Hyrule is the best place to be!

Playing BotW or TotK? And how far along are you?

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

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 year ago

Basically the same as me. I finally went to Purah and most of the dialogue was "Ohh you already did that?"

I still have only have half of the depths explored, and finally have hero quest to figure out which sky Islands I haven't visited.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I wish they would recognize more quests though. I had done all the Tears, and I knew about Zelda, but still, all dialogues are, along the line of no one knowing what happened to Zelda.

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah my head cannon is that news doesn't travel at all throughout Hyrule (even with the newspaper), so that's why no one knows about Zelda.

I'm also at 75 hours in TotK, but not much closer to finishing the main quest than last week 😅

I played a bit of Doom Eternal since I finally got my phisical copy from Limited Run Games. It was very fun, and it feels different to Doom (2016). Still looks amazing on Switch! I'll probably be playing some more during the weekend to take a break from Zelda.

Shredder's Revenge is so much fun. Played all the story and some arcade in co-op and it's always a good one to go back to. The DLC will make me play it again for sure!

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Heh, it's same for me this week, haven't progressed much.

Glad to hear about about Doom Eternal, it recently came to PS+ Extra, so would play it there.

As for Shredder's Revenge, yeah, it's a great game, going to follow whatever the devs make next.

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.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Street Fighter 6 is very high on my list of games to buy, would probably get in this month or next. By finished, do you mean the story mode where you create your own character? How long is it? And how did you like it?

And what about Tears of the Kindgom? As I asked someone below: How much did you do? All shrines? Koroks? Compendium?

Good luck with Pokemon Ultra Sun! And I can understand staying away from huge games. Once I am finished with TotK, I am planning to play a few smaller games (and resume couple of games I have paused), before I go for another big one.

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?)
