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?

Another run-through of Bioshock Infinite with some Dead by Daylight matches sprinkled in.

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

I really need to try Bioshock Infinite. Have only played the first one yet.

Dead by Daylight just got the Nic Cage character, is he already in game or coming sometime in future?

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

Oh, so lucky. I wish I could play through the Bioshock series for the first time again, and all the games are super cheap.

As for Nicolas Cage, he may be on the beta platform but he's not live yet. It'll be fun to play him once he is.

I picked up the Borderlands bundle not too long ago so I’m having a nostalgic blast with that.

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

Nice. It has been a long while since I last played it. Which class are you playing as?

Like every night, I’ll be raiding on Pokémon Violet. It’s just become a routine for me. I have the pokedex and everything. I raid just to wind down and have fun.

Xenoblade 2 up to ch9 just gotta finish the story instead of side quests and blades

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

Xenoblade is one of my favourite series, but didn't enjoy the gacha mechanics of 2.

Have you played 3? In my opinion, that's the best of the series, just don't start it right after 2, or you may feel a burn out.

I just migrated from Reddit and I was surprised and pleased to see a Dragon Quest Slime here to greet me!

I'm playing FFXIV now until the demo for FFXVI dops.

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

Haha, good to see another fan of Dragon Quest, and the blue slime!

I am on media blackout for FFXVI game, and haven't seen any of the extended game plays, but what little I have seen, it looks great. Yoshi-P seems to have outdone himself. Also the fact that there won't be a day 1 patch, just shows their confidence in the game.

Disco Elysium. Porting a game with such a PC centric interface to Switch was an interesting choice, but I'm glad that they went with it. Fantastic game!

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

I keep hearing about Disco Elysium, I should play it soon.

Taking a break from TOTK to play age of calamity. Skipped it way back and got the dynasty warriors itch again

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

Still playing TOTK. Such a vast world. I still haven't completed many quests so far, I'm just running around exploring. There is something to see and do around every corner.

[–] 3sframe@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Started Zelda but I may hop back into Dead Cells. I played Dead Cells a few years ago, didn't like it, and put it down. Tried it a week ago and got hooked. Bad time since ToTK just came out. But I'm reminding myself I don't have to binge a game I love and can always take a break from it. It's a good problem to have, I guess!

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

I have a love / hate relationship with Dead Cells. It is a very fun game, but I am just not very good at it...

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

Etrian Odyssey HD. It's been far too long since I've been absolutely ruined by an unfortunate FOE encounter, so looking forward to working through the rerelease of the series.

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

I have heard so much about Etrian Odyssey, but never had a 3DS to didn't get to play the original ones.

How does the HD collection compare to the original release? And how has it aged?

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

The gameplay loop is pretty faithful to the original as far as I remember (it's been a few years). I did notice a few differences compared to the Untold version of 1 which threw me for a loop (they added a "hint" system in Etrian Odyssey Untold to give you an audio cue that there is a hidden passageway nearby, which is absent in this version and the original DS version).

The map controls are a bit awkward and unintuitive for me, at least so far. I imagine they're more intuitive on PC with a mouse, but it's not that big a deal.

As far as how it's aged: the only thing which really makes it feel a bit aged to me is the rather high random encounter rate. If you're used to more recent dungeon crawlers like this, they have fewer, more meaningful encounters on average; the EO series has a lot of simpler encounters that are there to drain your resources, and to make it a bit of a gamble about whether you can avoid the FOE who's chasing you. It's not bad, but it's something to consider.

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

Thanks for the info.

I hate random encounters. Well, maybe hate is a strong world, but I don't like them at all. Will keep it in mind when I get it.

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

Pikmin 2. First time. Pretty fun!

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

I have only played Pikmin 3 demo, but want to play the full game before getting Pikmin 4.

Are you planning to get Pikmin 4? Or going to play (and finish) 2 and 3 first?

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

Resident Evil 1 for Gamecube.

I've been playing Gamecube games lately. I finished Paper Mario recently. Amazing game

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

Nice! I have been meaning to get back into Resident Evil games, with the remakes, but was afraid the first one may not have aged well. How are you enjoying it?

[–] ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The game looks good on the Gamecube. I was actually very impressed with how good it looked considering it's age. The controls haven't aged well of course, but everyone knows that. I'm slowly starting to get used to it

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

That's good to know. Don't have a Gamecube, but will give the PS4 version a try.

[–] nafri@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

maybe starting Tears of the Kingdom, been trying stay away from spoiler, idk what to expect, lol

[–] divinegrilledcheese@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I just finished Untitled Goose Game (2019). The game is surprisingly short (I would say around 4 hours?) but I had fun with it. Now that I'm in the indie game spirit, would you suggest any good indies for Switch/PC?
