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?
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
started playing this town building sim called dago noka! it’s mindless enouugh to just unwind with.
not too bad! probably could have used some more polish (the item menu could have been less messy) but it’s fine for what it is.
I’m just on the cusp of beating Metroid Prime. Amazing game if you haven’t played it.
@irishbreakfast @slimerancher I just beat the remaster earlier today. It was a really fun game. I hope Prime 2 and Prime 3 get similar remasters someday.
I haven’t actually. I was playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 when they shadow dropped it, and now playing Tears of the Kingdom. It’s very high on my list though. Will probably play it within this year.
Have you played the original? Or remake is the first time you are experiencing it?
Oh nice! I’ve never played a Xenoblade game and have been really curious about 3. And Prime is what I jumped to after TOTK.
I played the original Prime in high school, but just did not have the skills or awareness to get anywhere with it, so while I remember it vaguely, this might as well be the first time I’ve played it haha.
I think if you want to play Xenoblade, you should start with 1. There wasn’t any direct connection between these games before, but with 3, there is. That being said, 3 is the best one in my opinion.
Ah, that’s great. Have fun
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.
Splatoon 3
The ice cream one? it didn’t start yet.
But I won the Power vs Wisdom vs Courage one at least :D
