What are you playing this weekend? 2023-07-15
Hello Everyone!
I finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Took about 90 hours, and still have a lot left to do, but wanted to find out the full story, so finished the main quest. I liked the story a lot more than BotW. If you have already finished it, what did you think about the story? (without giving away any spoilers). Going to keep playing this as my primary game for a while though, while also thinking about which game to start next.
Secondary games:
- Finished Marvel's Avengers. Nothing new to say about it. It could've been a very good game, if not for Live Service elements.
- Almost finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. I am at stage 14, so just couple of them left. Will check the trophies after finishing the game and see if I want to platinum it. Only playing it with my kid, so going a bit slowly.
- Started The Order 1886, it's a very small games, 4-5 hours at most, but didn't get much time to play after starting it, would try to finish it. The games holds up really well visually and gameplay vise.
- I have committed to Monster Hunter: World now. Going to finish it, no matter how long it takes. Until now, I was only playing it with friends, but would try to do some optional stuff solo too, now that TotK is finished.
That's all for now. What about all of you? What are you playing? And what do you plan to play next? And how are you enjoying them?
I think I'm close to the end of Bowser's Fury, so I may be able to finish that in a sitting or two. I'm also playing Shredder's Revenge in a co-op setting, and the DLC announcement was a good reminder to get back into that (think we're also nearing the end of the story). And there's a Splatfest, so I feel somewhat obligated to choose a team and play a little, though I've definitely been on a Splatoon 3 break lately.
7Oh yeah this is the Nintendo sub, but anyhows: Arknights has a new event and Fate/Grand Order has released the final part of it's latest story chapter, I am looking forward to playing through the story in those two mobile games as soon as I have time.
Then after that possibly try to find the rest of the armor pieces in Tears of the Kingdom, unless I get too tempted to get started on Master Detective Archives: Rain Code instead.
5Congratulations in finishing Tears of the Kingdom! To me, the story was definitely an improvement from the first game, with more memorable and epic moments.
As for me, last week I broke down and got myself a Steam deck! I already installed several games to try out, with intention to give Ni No Kuni a real shot this time. Last time I played the game I dropped it after several hours because I found combat boring, let's see if this time will be different.
On Nintendo Switch I am slowly getting through The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Currently I am on case 4 of the first game.
And lastly, on PS5, I am playing Forspoken. I finished main story last weekend, and right now I am just roaming the world and doing side activities.
5Almost done with Pikmin, only a few remaining ship parts to collect and I have plenty of days to do it.
Edit: down to the last part but I'll finish it off in the morning.
Minecraft Story Mode. My kids were too young to remember it the first time so I've been playing that with them. Not long started so I hope to finish episodes 1 and 2 this weekend.
4@slimerancher we've been playing TotK for the same amount of hours every week 😆 I'm at 90 hours now, but haven't advanced the story much since last week. After getting all the dragon tears and the Master Sword I've kept exploring the map and I went back to the depths to explore more, find some armor pieces and follow one of the story quests related to the Yiga in the depths. I still haven't done at least two temples, the Zora and the Gerudo ones. Maybe I should get going with that...
I've also played the new Mario Kart 8 DLC. It made me nostalgic of playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U with friends! I need to organize a Mario Kart night soon.
Pikmin 4 should arrive a week today, so that'll be next I guess!
4I had forgotten about this last week, but I actualy had Trails into Reverie preordered!
Got it early in this week and started playing. Didn't have as much time as I'd like, but I managed to reach Act 2, and just got to the Reverie Corridor.
Really want to play more as C since his party is the "new" one, but early-game is mostly focused on Lloyd and Rean.
3This week in TotK I cleared the first temple (Wind Temple) and have been working on mopping up everything I can in the Hebra region so I have to spend the least time there possible moving forward. It was my least favorite part of BotW and TotK didn't really change my opinion. One related question though: guides I've found say you don't need to do the geoglyphs in order, but I've found the one in the northern snowfield and have combed the entire thing multiple times, including where the guides say you find the tear, but the tear is nowhere to be found. I got the one just outside Rito Village, which is supposed to be second, right away, it was readily available. Are the guides wrong, are you forced to pick them up in order?
2This weekend I'll play the new splatfest in splatoon 3. I made a mistake last week and thought the splatfest was then, and I spent about 5 minutes in the game wondering where the splatfest was. Felt so dumb.
Congrats on finishing the story of Zelda. I finished the last temple yesterday and I will finish the story next week.
