Hello Everyone,
This week passed way too quickly. It seems like I didn’t do much. There aren’t any significant updates form my side.
Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn’t. So, no changes here.
In non-nintendo gaming, still playing the same games, without much change:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
- Monster Hunter: World
- Marvel’s Avengers
For Marvel’s Avengers, the game started strong, but went downhill quickly due to all the Live Service elements. It could’ve been a fun game if they had stuck with single player. I am near the end of main campaign, and will delete it as soon as I complete it. Probably just need 2-3 hours more.
That’s all from my side, what about you guys? What are you playing? And how are you enjoying it?

Tears of the Kingdom FTW! Just… So beautiful
It’s an amazing game! 💖
Edit: Forgot to ask, how far along are you?
Early, just got impa into the first “temple” that shows all the dragon tears! Trying to figure out where to go next after I mark everything in the map - somehow! You?
Ah, I am near the end of main quest, have spent dozens of hours on side quests and exploration too. You are still in the beginning so not going to spoil anything. 😀 But if you want any information or help, you can hit me up.
Definitely will!! Is there any Tears of the Kingdom oriented /c here or somewhere else?
There are a few. lemmyverse.net is a great place to search for instances or communities. You can check them all out and join the one you like.
Still working through ToTK tbh ngl. That game just has SO MUCH CONTENT.
It does! And most of it’s optional, so if someone doesn’t want to explore it, they can just ignore it.
How far along are you? And how many hours have you spent?
I’ve done the four sage dungeon things, and put probs 90 hours into the game. Mostly been doing side stuff up until this point, and somehow I still haven’t run out!
Yeah, the game has lots of side quests and activities to do. And some of the quest lines are pretty interesting. There are also still a few main quests left where you are, so you can do some of those too, if you want.
Same with TotK. Trying to finish all side quests and getting all armor before the final boss
Since I’m going on vacation tomorrow, I ended up finally beating the boss today, but I do want to find all the armor pieces too yeah… Will see if I keep going after my trip, or if I end up being distracted by other games. (Which is why I usually try to avoid beating the end bosses in games before I’ve done all/most of the sidequests)
I got the Master Detective Archives: Rain Code collector’s edition waiting for me (new game by the Danganronpa team)
I am the same, let’s see if it holds my attention after beating the final boss. I want to complete most of the side quests.
I wanted to do that, but I want to know the story!
You’re not alone on TotK. I’m still working on it too. Been taking my time to enjoy it, and the number of hours of gaming time isn’t what it once was.
Yeah, this isn’t the kind of game you should rush through. As for gaming time, that’s the issue with growing up, but the good thing is, whenever you have time, there are games waiting for you.
I keep playing TotK. I’ve done a few more shrines, caves and got the Master Sword.
Also, for some reason I got Sonic Origin Plus and finished the first Sonic game. I grew up with Nintendo and only rarely played Sonic at friends’ house. It’s not the first time I play it, but definitely the first time I finish it. I feel like this game had so much potential, but the level design is pretty bad, and ends up being the poor man’s Mario. It’s still fun at times, but I hope Sonic 2, Knuckles and CD get better.
What? I haven’t gotten the Master Sword yet!
I grew up with Sega, and have played the Sonic 1 and 2 about a gazillion times and I am still not sure how you are supposed to play them? Are you supposed to keep running? Or play it slow and steady? I really like Sonic and Tails as the characters though.
I won’t spoil it, but based on previous comments I think you have the requirements to get the Master Sword. DM me if you want me to point you in the direction in a not too spoilery way 😅
I’m so glad someone who grew up with Sega thinks similar about Sonic! It’s a sanity check for me. I thought “maybe I’m too biased and expect this to be Mario when it’s clearly not Mario”. But I’m not, and I don’t. I play many different kinds of games and I’m not expecting Sonic to be Mario. But it’s a game that’s all about “going fast”. However, if you go fast, you’re punished with awkwardly placed enemies or obstacles which completely ruin the flow of each level. And Sonic is agile only when doing the spin or running for a while. When you’re trying to go slow and steady, he’s extremely slow and clunky. I understand there’s a “faster/better” path on the high levels and slower path on the lower levels, but it still doesn’t work as one would expect.
I started Sonic 2 and it’s not much better. And as I said, there’s lots of potential. It seems like an issue with level design, where they didn’t do much play testing and just put things randomly around the level. I’m still going to finish 2 and probably continue with 3 and Sonic CD. I hope there’s a progression in level design in newer installments. I’m going to go back to Sonic Mania after this too, see how that one feels after playing the originals. Sonic Superstars looks pretty cool, I’m hoping it’s fun and uses the potential I’m seeing in these 2D Sonic games!
I haven’t played Sonic Mania, but it has been highly regarded for being similar to older games, like 1 and 2, so not sure about the level design.
I would love to see your review after playing Sonic Mania, if it’s like 1 and 2, it just means we are the odd ones who don’t know how to play Sonic games.
As for Sonic Superstars, it looks great, and I am looking forward to it. Let’s hope it’s as fun to play as it looks.
Oh, and forgot to mention that I found out about the sword. I am there now, let’s see if I get it or they send me somewhere else.
Hey, im gonna be playing some Mario kart this evening we should organize some lemmy races
Yeah, a Lemmy Mario Kart tournament!
Do you have Booster Pack? If yes, how are you liking it? If not, why not?
Im definitely liking the booser packs the slow roll out is kind of annoying but i guess it keeps engagement up. Other then that though the changing courses are very welcome to me.
Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn’t.
Very much same. Though not exactly that I could not, more like I do not exactly want to. I am pretty advanced on the plot, so now i am exploring the depths, finding side quests, seeing caves, finding wells. This game is endless.
And maybe I should start helping the korok find their friend, bless them.
Yeah, I can understand that. I was in the same boat, but as I mentioned last week, I reached a point where I want to know how the story proceeds. If you had seen all the Tears, you may know what I am talking about.
I think i know what you mean. I think on the main storyline I only have the final boss left, but I feel so unprepared.
Good luck. As the sage of Nintendo community on lemmy.world, I stand with you.
Edit: Okay, that was more cheesy than when I thought it in my head. 😀
I have only the final boss left, and despite feeling vastly over prepared, I can’t bring myself to finish it yet and am still desperately trying to get everything else done first (koroks being the exception).
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2
Zelda TOTK
How are you enjoying Tony Hawk Pro Skater? I have heard some people say 1 and 2 are best of the series. Is that true?
And how far along are you in TotK?
I love it! I actually play more Tony Hawk than TOTK! The progress tracking across the different pro skaters and challenges is what keeps me going. That adds so much replayability.
I’m only ~10hrs into TOTK…
Nice. Well, as long as you are enjoying what you are playing, what does it matter which game you are playing more or less. 😀
Have fun!
Playing Advance Wars. I finished the first campaign couple days ago and now I’m trying to get the 100%
Nice. How long was the campaign? And what else do you need to do to get to 100%?
The first campaign took me 9.5h according to the in- game clock but I believe only counts battle time so it should be 10-11h real time.
To get the 100% you have to beat every mission on the map. There is one that’s hidden. Rank and score is irrelevant for 100%.
Ah, interesting.
Thanks for the info.
I am almost done with Pokemon Ultra Sun and will be starting Signalis this weekend; I don’t usually play a lot of horror games anymore but this one reminds of me the older Resident Evil and Silent Hill games.
I was really enjoying Signalis then got stuck at the first boss (I’m a pretty shit gamer). Thanks for the reminder, definitely gonna give it another go this weekend!
Ah, I am not a very good gamer either, even though I have been playing for more than 30 years 😃
Good luck with the boss!
I am also not a fan of horror games, but keeping an eye on Signalis. Do share how you like it.
@slimerancher primero zelda tears of the kingdom y después mario maker 2
How are you enjoying Tears of the Kingdom and how far along are you?
As for Mario Maker 2, have you made any levels. or just playing them? I am wondering how fun it will be to get the game if I only want to play the levels, without creating anything.
@slimerancher I’ve been playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for about 45 hours, I haven’t dedicated myself to doing the main missions, from what I’ve been playing it seems like an excellent and high-quality game
@slimerancher and as for mario maker 2, i dedicate myself exclusively to playing community games, every time i play it surprises me with some new mechanic, it’s an endless game. And you have levels made by you?
I haven’t actually played it yet. I am thinking about getting New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe first. There are so many games to play, and so little time.
@slimerancher I understand you perfectly, I have a list of pending video games and I haven’t been able to finish them due to time. but super mario bros U Deluxe is an excellent game, it is much more enjoyable in the company of friends.
Yeah, I’ll probably play it with kids and wife. Thanks!
It really is a very high quality and excellent game! Glad you are enjoying it.
Have you visited all the sky towers yet? Or just doing random exploring?
@slimerancher Yes! It is a wonderful game, and in response to your question, I am exploring the game in no specific order, I am letting myself be carried away by its world and its islands in the sky.
Nice! That’s a great way to play.
Keep having fun!
Finishing up Pikmin 2 endgame before 4 comes out in a couple weeks
Nice! How long was Pikmin 2? And are you going to play Pikmin 3 or already played it before?
About 10 hours I think to credits, but there’s a whole 4th area you don’t even unlock until finishing the game, so I’m still working through that. I played Pikmin 3 when it came out on Wii U and then again when it came out on switch, so I’m all set there
I just did the same! Was surprised to see the fourth area after the credits rolled. Having tons of fun with Pikmin 2, very excited to play 3 and 4 when it comes out!
Play all four games back to back? Won’t that cause a bit of burn out?
Ah cool. Thanks for the info.
Also slowly wrapping up TotK, trying to savor it as I wrap up final shrines and things. Besides that I’ve started another run of Minish Cap in the virtual GBA which is a blast. Messing around with Infinite Fusion has also been really fun
Oooh, I didn’t notice Minish Cap is on NSO, will give it a try too. How is the game compared to Link’s Awakening?
Mario Kart Wii. The GameCube/ Wii era was the best imo.
Switch is my first Nintendo console, so for me Switch will probably remain the best era.
Why do you like the Gamecube / Wii era the best?
Still rocking Tears of the Kingdom, awesome game
A really awesome game! How far along are you?
Story wise, I’ve finished 2 temples, and I’m still missing a couple of tears/cutscenes. Feels like this games will last forever (probably at least the rest of the year)
Haha, yeah. Last week I was sure I am about to finish the game, and there is still much to do.
Well, if the game is worth it, I don’t mind playing it slowly over a long period of time, but I do add another game or two to play with it in that case, otherwise I start feeling like I am missing out on everything.
Yeah no hurry, this game is awesome for dropping in and invest a couple of hours here and there 👀
