What are you playing this weekend? 2025-01-17 (lemmy.world)

Got pretty close to the finishing Astral Chain, just 2 levels remaining. Nothing new to add though.

Finished Nier Replicant , well, at least got the first ending, Ending A. Now playing for Ending B, stopped at the front of last dungeon, so should finish this over the weekend. Then comes Ending C, Ending D and Ending E.

Generally I don't playthrough the game again and again, but I am interested in seeing how they unfold the story, and since I am only doing the main quest in this playthrough it was pretty quick. There are still many questions, but the second playthrough is explaining a few things (and making us feel bad about some things).

So, what about all you? What have you been playing?

I wonder when, or even if, they will release Prime 2 and 3 remasters. I was planning to play Prime Remaster after Astral Chain, but now thinking about playing Future Redeemed first, so that I can have some time between that and X.

How's the Returns HD difficulty? When compared with DKC or DKC 2

There's a new rumour about a Nintendo Switch 1 exclusive Direct in February, maybe they'll shadowdrop the remasters for Prime 2 and 3 then!

I think the difficulty is maybe a bit higher in Returns HD? I'm not sure. I've only been in one mining cart scene and it was quite stressful but I managed. I always go for the K O N G letters in every stage (not the puzzle pieces though) which makes it harder than just trying to get through it. It has a modern mode which apparently gives you extra lives and can't remember what else. If it's there, I use it, I'm not bothered to play on a more difficult setting just for the sake of it, and I don't have the patience for it anymore. It's getting harder as I advance, but I would have to go back and play some original DKC to compare it properly.

Ah, cool. Do we have enough first party stuff remaining for Switch to get a Direct? At this point, I am hoping they would be going all in for Switch 2 exclusives.

What happens when you are out of life? Game over?
