Hello Everyone!

Let's start a first ever, "What are you playing this weekend?".

I am still completely enthralled by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I am about 50-60 hours in, and still have lots of explore. I don't want to mention anything that might be a spoiler, but I think I should be around 60% done with the story. I am on media blackout about the game, so I don't actually know how long it actually it is, but this is what it seems like. Of course, if I go by total amount of Shrines, or Koroks, I am probably just 10-20% of the total.

All my other games are on pause, probably not going to resume anything else until I have finished Zelda.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

I'm still really deep into Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe 90 hours in and still only have gone through two of the regional/sage quests, because the side quests and adventures are really a lot of fun. Exploring the depths is super cool. While the sky islands seem to make up less of the game than I thought they would, they're still a cool part of the game and I'm still exploring, side-questing, and occasionally getting back to the main story quests. Given all of that, why did I buy Diablo II for the Switch? Because it's nearly 70% off right now and with some credit I had it was $10 and I got a lot of playtime out of DIII.

Wow, 90 hours and just two sage quests. I believe I would be fully done with the game when I reach such an hour count.

Sky islands are as big as depths, but some of them still have a kind of puzzle, on how to reach them, so it end up taking just as much time.

Diablo II is a classic, and at 70% off, it's a must have! What do you think about Diablo IV? I am really interested in it, if it weren't for TotK, I would probably be playing that.

There's just so much to explore...every time I walk 5 feet in any direction I feel like I just started some other side quest lol. Maybe the perceived discrepancy in sky islands vs the depths can be explained by observing that the parts of the depths where there's nothing really there would be the parts of the sky islands that are just sky? Haven't played Diablo 4 yet, but have some friends that are really really into that franchise and have been enjoying it a lot.

Oh, that was a typo, I meant Sky Islands are not as big as depths.

But there are many Sky Islands which are above one another, well maybe not many, but still a few. I remember seeing one that had 6-7 floors.

Also, if the full sky was covered, there would be no sun, moon, rain etc. so they couldn't do that either, makes sense from that point of view.

That makes sense, although I’m convinced the sky could be covered and I’m still going to start pouring just as I try to climb something lol
