Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there's still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn't went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven't played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That's all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

I keep playing TotK and I'm also 65 hours in. I'm taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven't even been to the south west part of Hyrule!

I'll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.

I'm supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!

Mario party for switch.

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

TOTK if I have the time. By far the best game I've played since BOTW.

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

About to finish 13 sentinels & got spiritfarer and both portals in queue.

I've been playing mostly Tears of the Kingdom and Fallout 76

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

How are you liking Fallout 76? I am a big Fallout fan, but after the abysmal 76 launch, and all the memes, I have stayed away from it.

Have the improved the game? And how's the gameplay now?

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

The community is fantastic for the most part, we seen to help each other which I love. There's a lot more things to do now, it's still kinda buggy but still fun. They added NPCs which makes things so much better. My advice is find a friend or two on the game and explore the world together. If you have a playstation I'd be willing to play some time.

[–] Grangle1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought the boss of the seventh Palace would be the final boss of the base game in Persona 5 before getting to the extra content. I was wrong. It took me until last night to actually get to the real final boss of the base game (and I luckily beat it on the first try... The mini-boss gauntlet before it was harder than the boss itself, lol). So only now did I actually start the extra semester in Royal. That said, I ordered Tears of the Kingdom this morning and I'll probably get to that sometime this week or next, finally. Excited to start playing it after seeing so much about how it actually lives up to its hype.

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

Persona 5 turned out to be MUCH longer than I expected, and I expected it to be long. My wife kept laughing at me announcing 'I am going to finish it soon, it's almost the end' and then the end didn't happen. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed it all, great game!

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

Congratulations on beating the main game! Now you have until you recieve the copy of TotK to finish the Royal content!

What did you decide about P5 Tactica? Going to give it a try, or skip it?

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've taken a step back from gaming this week. It was a busy one.

Still, I'm making pretty good progress on totk. Great game.

I got a 4070 for my birthday. So I tore my whole PC apart to dust out every nook and cranny. It replaced an R9 290. Other specs: 24 GB DDR3, i7-4790K running on Z97, 1 TB NVMe SSD and 8 TB HDD (I don't mind a loading screen)

I previously had 4 3,000 RPM server fans keeping it cool because I was running dual R9 290s in the thing air cooled. When you have two 94° cards, there's a ton of hot air coming from the thing. It'll heat a room quite effectively.

I'm down to a single 140mm 700 RPM fan in back and a single 120mm 800-2000 RPM fan in front. It's gone from being as loud as my vacuum cleaner to near silent. And in testing, my GPU never hits 70°. My 290 ran 85-90 playing Wind Waker with Hypatia's HD texture pack. My 4070 doesn't even get to 50° after an hour of play. And my intake fan doesn't even have to ramp up. It's so nice having a quiet PC again.

It's gonna be pushing 100°F outside this weekend so I'll be staying inside and hiding from the weather. Maybe I'll mow on Monday morning since it's supposed to be a lot cooler. Need to replace my busted garbage disposal. But when I'm not doing those things, I'll probably STILL be playing Tears. I think I'm up to 70 hours.

[–] hoodlem@hoodlem.me 1 points 1 year ago

More Pokémon Violet for me. I’ve finished the game but I find raiding relaxing.

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

Still ToTK. I started strong when it first came out, but haven't had as much time until recently.

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

More TotK for me, with a high level of avoiding the main questline.

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

I am still playing Tears of the Kingdom when I have time to play and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon

[–] flicker@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm desperately trying to find time for TotK. I tried going to (end the game) and had to leave because I needed materials and meals. I managed to get extremely far in the game but work made progress impossible for the last two weeks...

[–] Omegan@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I think I've decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn't get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it'll be nice to focus on that for a bit.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Monster Hunter World for sure.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Nice! How far along are you? I just started it with a few friends, we are still in the start, just reached Tobi-Kadachi.

The co-op is a mess in this game, you all have to separately go on a mission, then watch cut scenes, then everyone except one needs to abandon quest, and join one person's quest. Hope Capcom makes it simpler in next versions.

I'm 75% of the way through Advance Wars 2 (from the Advance Wars Reboot-Camp remake). I normally get ~3 levels done per play session, but the last stage of Yellow Comet was more difficult than usual. I'm thinking these last stages are just harder than all the earlier stages.

I might try a hard-mode run, or maybe I start playing competitive (erm... casual-level competitive. I dunno about beating the grandmasters in this game but I kinda wanna see where people are).

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

I was very hyped for Advanced Wars, but then they delayed it, and then released it couple of weeks before Zelda, so haven't gotten a chance to play it yet. Glad to see people are enjoying it.

Competitive can be interesting, though I doubt I would be hold off against the pros.

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. I prefer the GameCube and Wii era because my childhood.

Patient gamer, I'm still on BotW. Turning over every rock, checking every tree and puddle.

Borrowed a couple games from a mate to see if I wanna buy them myself. Luigi's Mansion 3 is a no, but will be buying Mario 3D + Browser's Fury after payday. Also, usually fit in some time on Dorfromantik in the evenings or when stressed.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why did you like Luigi Mansion 3?

Dorfromantik looks fun. Is it as relaxing as it looks?

Etrian Odyssey at last, and Noob the factionless on ROG Ally + A Wonderful Life on ps5 later!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How is Noob the Factionless? It looks interesting, but I have no idea about the IP, and the trailer didn't seems to explain much game play either.

Also, how are you finding ROG Ally? Heard there were lots of issues with the launch?
