Hello everyone!
Another very busy week, didn’t really play much at all. And recently my DualSense (PS5 controller) started drifting and options button stopped working, so sent it for repairs, which means no PS5 games for few days. Which leaves:
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Still in water level, I paused the game and left it in sleep mode, which one of my kid closed, so I lost all progress since last castle. Had to replay all that. Now at the final castle of Water level.
- Dragon Quest XI Played some more, killed a boss, and finished all the open available side quests. Now to next main quest.
What about you all? What are all of you playing? Or planning to play next?
I’m still on ToTK personally. I finally got the master sword this week. I got the game on launch day.
Nice! How many hours have you played it already? And where are you spending all your time?
It’s says “220 hours or more”
Uh….yes….
I play open world games by wandering all over the map, and doing whatever silver ball caught my attention at the moment.
I’m on Splatoon 3 trying to reach level 100 on the catalog before Drizzle season comes out on 9/1. I’m still on level 57 🙃
Wow, only 43 levels to go! Good luck!
BTW what do you think about Drizzle season? I am hearing good things about it.
I’m trying to clock in around 3 levels per day to catch up, the 1.2x bonus during the last few days should help a bit.
Can’t comment much about weapons or map design since I’m very much a casual.
I’m excited for the new dressing options. We only saw backwards cap and oversized clothes. Curious to see what other options things like glasses and shoes have. Music continues to be fun and fresh from what I hear, though I like the Sizzle season music more for now.
I really wish challenges could be rotated on a schedule at least similar to Salmon run. The opening times are just wonky at best. The best scenario would be like Overwatch arcade, where you play whatever jank mode whenever.
ToTK, continuing. Completed the Goron area and my apparent sequence break from last week early for the main story, and found the remaining dragon tears last night. Just have Zora left to do for sages, but running around and doing more shrines/side quests again first now that I have the full map. Very tempted to get the Master Sword early too if I’ve already gotten a couple other things I supposedly shouldn’t have yet. Gonna have to really grind and make sure I have the proper equipment and food to do that, though, from what I understand I’m gonna have to take on to get it, fighting those things can really be a pain if unprepared.
Shadows over loathing. I’m already with the nostalgia feeling that may end it up soon and don’t want to 😅
I’ve played that Dragon Quest few years ago and liked it a lot, hope you enjoy it :)
That’s the sequel to West of Loathing, right? How is it, I never played it.
And yeah, Dragon Quest is a lot of fun. Looking forward to what they do with DQ 12.
If you played west of loathing, this is pretty similar, but set in the 1920s. Absurd RPG both, I love them.
Has DQ12 already estimated date or something? I know DQ11 had some sort of spin off game on one of the main characters, but it did not pick my interest enough, so I haven’t played it
I was playing a Link to the Past for the first time but I lost a lot of progress by forgetting to save including a whole dungeon and the ocarina mini-quest :( I want to keep going but it’ll be hard to get me motivated to redo a bunch of stuff. I enjoy the game but it can be tedious just due to its age
Ah yeah, that’s the issue with these older games. When playing A Link to the Past, I would just save before and after every dungeon, and when I am closing the game. Kept me safe enough.
It’s a fun game , so you may end up enjoying rest of the game if you can get yourself to replay that bit again.
