Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 13th)

I picked up the Bioshock trilogy last year but only did the first 20 minutes, so i'm going to restart it. I'll play some 2 player 3D World with my wife too!

MHR demo v2
Mario 3D world + Fury

@HexagonSun I beat Sunshine last weekend, playing it for the first time in at least 15 years, have fun!! I loved it! I might go back and play through it again later in the year.

This weekend is Wii and Wii U time. 🤓
1. Gold's Gym Cardio Workout Wii
2. Transformers Prime Wii U
3. Captain Toad Wii U
4. Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival Wii U

I have accumulated 19,468 punches on Gold's Gym Cardio Workout from Sandbag training but it seems i didn't unlock anything even i have accumulated more than 160,000 punches by total. 🤨

Megatron Boss fight from Transformers Prime was really damn hard. 🤬
But i have managed until chapter 9.

I have unlocked Chapter 3 from Captain Toad Wii U.

As for Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, i played for 30 minutes with Cyrus, Reese, Timmy + Tommy and Kicks. I oftenly pick Kicks as i like his looking and other figurines (Digby, Cyrus, Timmy + Tommy). They have reached Lv. 4

Fallout 4 on GPD Win Max.

SM3DW, P5S, TBOI, LiS2

(Early chocolate easter eggs for everyone who guesses all these abbreviations correctly.)

Gavin. Of all those RPGs I would start “The origami King” that game surprised me in a very positive way. It’s a “light” RPG theres no grinding involved, and the battle music is just amazing. You will want to enter combat just to hear it’s tune.
As for me “Persona Strikers” if a Persona game is out all other games are “on hold”

Over the weekend I'll be playing Bravely Default 2, Crash Bandicoot 4 Switch/PS5, Bowser's Fury.
Probably a few multiplayer games also. Resident Evil Revelations 2, Sniper Elite 4, Mortal Kombat 11, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

I'm pouring a few more hours into The Talos Principle, after decimating Fire n' Ice last week. :3

That Everhood thing looks like my kind of thing as well, so I might look in to that!

Mario 35 before it leaves me forever.

Have to complete 7-4 during a run to unlock 8-4 and finally get to play as Luigi. Getting tense now time is running out!

Bowser's Fury, Leisure Suit Larry (I must be close to the end now.. I am at BJ's mansion) and Animal Crossing New Horizons as my friend in Ireland is hosting an early St Patrick's Day party on it later today. 😄

Possibly some Rive: Ultimate Edition and Bit.Trip Runner.

Finally beat Jeane in NMH but then discovered there's one more boss, so that's what I'll be doing.

Decided to return back to my Halo 3 legendary difficulty playthrough yesterday so continuing with that. If I complete it or get fed up of the Cortana level (the worst level in the entire Halo franchise), I'll probably return to Bravely Default II.

@MarioBrickLayer @HexagonSun I'm hoping at some point to play Mario Sunshine in All-Stars a second time, but using the GameCube controller now they've added support for it. Will be good to play through it with the proper water controls again. It's my favourite Mario of all time.

Apex Legends.

Back to Xenoblade 2. The completionist in me is calling!

This week I will be mostly playing

Age of Calamity
New Horizons

Finally purchased Links Awakening as I never played it on GameBoy and enjoying it. Probably some Virtua Racing and Outrun too!

Arcana's been on my radar for ages, although discovered only in the romset (granted, it's not like I'd had any chance in hell to encounter it physical here prior). Even then, I have managed to miss the fact that it's a HAL game! Hoping to get down to it one day, too (although that's my sentiments about literal THOUSANDS of games out there).

On the modern platforms, I've been in a particular mood for the sim RPGs myself this week - catalyzed by the recent acquaintance with My Time At Portia (some may mourn the lack of content updates compared to PC version, but DAMN, does the game seem to offer an unholy amount of said content as it is!) and Princess Maker 3, then leading me back to plan more of "My Time At Cardia" and even "My Time At Selphia" (the "idle" RF4 playthrough before a binge order one later - I need two of those anyway if I want to play as legit Frey AND have my character woo someone female), as well as potentially more Ciel Fledge and the also recently acquired Valthirian Arc. That said, I don't intend to ignore other genres either - Spirit of Justice, Burnout Paradise, The Last Remnant, Goetia and Shadows of Valentia lure me, too. Might also do a couple more Mugsters islands and expletive my way through one more Bloodroots stage (for all of the game's awesomeness on many levels, I rarely have the nerve cell capacity for multiple stages at a time😆).

Meanwhile, my Namco x Capcom playthrough is at the grand stage 20 mark (out of 50, yikes) and still growing its crazy cast. They even have Forgotten Worlds protagonists... self-consciously identified as "The Nameless" and going in all dialogues and menus as "1P Warrior" and "2P Warrior"! What a franchise... even the translation issues (which extend to the menus, so I suspect I'm missing out on a whole bunch of mechanics - even the local joint attacks which had no separate tutorial, but I triggered one of them once by sheer accident) don't make it any less of a wild ride. Even more impressive how the plot manages to tie it all in (contrary to everyfan telling you that there's no plot beyond crossover fanservice - but then again, who in their right mind even associates fanship with basic literary competence anymore?).

And to wrap it up, another shoutout to Portia. The game pulls no punches - you're mainly a builder (on top of all the fishing, farming, mining, exploring and fighting you can do), in a relatively postapocalyptic world digging up optical data discs in abandoned ruins to boot, and the sense of "starting again from scratch" is sure damn there. Compared to many other sim RPGs, need to build a bridge or help repair a fence? All those wigs and branches won't do by default (although they're still legit for some basic tools and furniture) - you need a special machine to process wood into boards. And you need to build said machine, including its copper blades, so you'll be also building a furnace to smelt copper ore and a grinder to turn some copper bars into said blades. And don't forget to power all this stuff - the furnace takes raw wood, but the more complex machines require the previous civ's "power stones" you dig up at the ruins in thankfully convincing amounts (but as you progress, you can also commission the local Special Corps with getting some of this stuff for you). Oh, and one of the aforesaid machines also needs some relic parts dug up. One Dark Souls of a sim, but you won't catch me complaining.😄

Playing final fantasy 13 on ps3 and really enjoying it. Besides that pokemon black 2 on the ds, final fantasy tactics on the psp and maybe a bit of moss in the psvr.

Also the collectors edition of tactics ogre for psp should arrive today so I’m excited to play that too.

Overwatch as usual

Trying to play some Cyber-Shadow, Xenoblade Chronicles and/or Final Fantasy ix. Never played that one.

Hyper Light Drifter
Beautiful game, but hard as nails. Precision timing is needed but my reflexes aren't what they used to be. My persistence hasn't diminished though

Are we allowed to mention games on other platforms? I just started Tales of Vesperia on PS4. My third Tales of after Symphonia which I loved on GC and Berseria which combat system I didn't like.

Crash for I haven't played it just yet but I will.

After a very exhausting week, I'm having a relaxing weekend playing some Going Under, Cuphead, and I'll probably start Bioshock 2.

WRC 9 for me this weekend, I played 8 to death so really looking forward to this one.
I've also bought 3d All-Stars so going to have a go if I get chance.

Yakuza 0 - I'm only a few chapters from the end but I got sucked into the cabaret club mini-game and it has taken up a surprising amount of time.
Atelier Ryza 2 - Penultimate dungeon
Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War multiplayer - Helping my partner grind out levels on the battle pass because she wants the vehicle song pack that contains 'Africa' by Toto. Completely understandable imo.

@Lynox Super Mario 3D World, Persona 5 Strikers, The Binding of Isaac and Life is Strange 2. I’ll take a Wispa egg please 😉

Meanwhile, I’m about 32 hours into IFR

@darkswabber
How was your progress of FF XIII PS3 ?
I have reached chapter 11 at Gran Pulse but i still nervous to leveling up my team as there were a lot of tough enemies over there and 1 battle with Dimetrodon like foes took quite long time.
Any tips to quick leveling at Gran Pulse chapter 11 (Easy enemies with a lot of CP) ?

Started Huntdown on Switch today. Playing with an arcade stick and having a blast. At some point this weekend I am going to finally dive into the new System Shock remake demo on PC.

I've been trying to get back into Starlink to try and get through it, but it doesn't hold my attention for long periods.

On Switch, Ring Fit Adventure for.my weekend workouts, and possibly Persona 5 Strikers.

On PS4, Cities Skylines, Stellaris and Spider-Man.

Playing Harvest moon one world since i wanted to have my own battle of the farms experience and I am actually really enjoying it. The criticisms so far are definitely valid, it does look trash, there is no way this game should be skipping frames and everywhere does look very barren but it really did change up the formula a bit with the seed gathering instead of buying them from shops, and how everything is just controlled by the A button is sooo refreshing i have never understood why you need so many menus to switch between different tools. The characters (and their models) are actually quite interesting as well and i actually care about them, though sadly the repeated dialogue over and over is grating but even the mineral town remake had this problem.

If i need downtime from my crops will probably have a breather on one of my rhythm games.

I am also crying into my drink about how much i am interested in the A train game that just came out despite its steep price but alas that will have to wait since i went nuts on sales earlier in the month, that and those last 2 ff games that i want to snap up are on sale too OOF

I'm playing the monster hunter rise demo again.
With a little bit of smash and xenoblade in between.

@Anti-Matter I’m at the final boss of chapter 11.

There’s a cave you enter to progress story with the pulsework knights. Before that there is an behemot king fighting and before that a save point with a behemot king. The trick is to stealth attack that one to kill it quickly and walk just past the save point to respawn it. It give 4k CP every kill and it takes about 30 seconds to kill it and respawn it.

For the stealth attack, wait until its back faces you and it start the walking animation, if you attack it while it just turned and didn’t start walking straight again its AI still thinks its facing you so it won’t result in a stealth attack.

@Anti-Matter EDIT: use fang, lightning and sazh. They’re the best combo. Fang has the best commando skills and the highest offensive, lightning the highest magic and best ravager skills and second highest offensive, and sazh has haste which is a must.

Just bought Pokémon Omega Ruby/ Alpha Sapphire for the wife for Mother's Day. We'll be starting them later.

Getting near the end of Super Mario 3D World, but I fancy a change of pace. I was going to play some AC Black Flag, but I was helping my son with Stardew Valley earlier and it's made me want to get back out on the farm. tl;dr Stardew Valley.

For the third weekend in a row the witcher 3...

Probably a bit of the “all of the everything”.

Working on Bravely Default 1 on 3DS. On Switch it’s Stardew Valley, Ruins of Tasos, Cyanide and Happiness, and I really need to get back to BotW to finish that - all shrines done, all diviner beasts done, just need to finish up some armor upgrades, collect the last few memories and go after Ganon.... then finish up Age of Calamity as I left off near the end on there as well. Smh. Must be one of those “I just don’t want it to end” type of things or something, always have a rough time seeing major epic games through the end like BotW and Witcher. Oddly wasn’t an issue with Skyrim or Fallout 3, but was for FONV and FO4.

@darkswabber
Thanks. 😀
I will try it.

I’m wrapping up my second game file on Link’s Awakening and I’m having a blast. The entirety of my first playthrough, at the time of its release, was in handheld mode, but this time around I’m playing on a 65” TV. And boy, what a difference! The visuals are so much more vibrant and beautiful. In fact, you know what? I think I prefer Link’s second Switch outing to even the wonderful Breath of the Wild. Does that make me a bad person?

Cleaning up some sidequests in Bravely Default 2.

I'm still playing Diablo 3 on Switch, and I'm going to start Doom Eternal on Series S.

Going back to playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Haven't had time with all the backlog that took over my interest, not to mention grinding out on several Zelda games AND playing through Paper Mario: The Origami King.

I treated myself to 19,000 yen of Japanese Eshop credit yesterday, which was the amount needed to buy ESP ra.di psi, Aleste Collection, Cotton Reboot and G-Darius. So I'll be playing those along with some Capcom Arcade Stadium and GnG Resurrection. And I'll be using my brand new Retrobit Saturn controller.

Good times

@Vriess Hyper Light Drifter is easily one of my favourite indies, and its soundtrack is quite simply amazing. I'll definitely need to replay that at some point this year.

Will be playing more Monster Hunter Rise demo and UnderMine later today.

Switch - Borderlands 1, so glad I can finally play most of the series in bed lol

PS4 - Weekly GTA Online session with friends tonight, gonna be fun!

PC - Bloodstained via Game Pass before it leaves in a couple days.

Same as every weekend at the moment. Exploring Skyrim on switch and the odd run in Dead Cells. Also been playing Slay the Spire again lately, albeit on my ipad. Still can't get close to beating the proper boss.

Also still obsessed with actual physical card game Aeon's End playing solo, just ordered one of the many expansions. Recommended for anyone that likes Deckbuilders. So much variety in the game.

@MajorasLapdog Ding ding ding! Those look delicious by the way. Sadly, we don’t have those here Fancy a strawberry cheesecake flavored one instead? XD

Yoshi’s Island with the kids and hopefully some Robotic; Notes too.

Apex (switch yes I like it lol)
And trying to get the new costumes and stuff in overwatch.

Doing the usual daily stuff in Animal Crossing including trying to breed blue roses. It's taking forever, but I have a pretty guaranteed route laid out to do it. Other than that, probably some Bit Trip games, and I also finished off all of 3D World and Bowser's Fury so I think it's time to dive into Crash 4 on Switch.

Also doing some online Smash matches. I got an ethernet cable and adapter for my Switch, and I'm enjoying pretty darn stable matches with my mains Greninja, Ike, Wolf, and Sephiroth!

@Vriess HLD is my all time favorite indie game. Have fun!

Still playing through Bravely Default 2 hoping that it end sooner rather than later, 65 hours in and frankly I'm so done with that game at this point.

Still playing Cat Mario- got the the flower world and realized I have to get all stars/stamps AND flags for the next rocket. On top of the levels just getting harder... I’ll also give Apex a try on Switch since I told my nephew I’d try it out.
On the Xbox front I’m playing Okami and Max Curse of the Brotherhood- good times!
Have a great weekend everyone and happy gaming!

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury still (hadn't played 3D World since selling my Wii U back in 2014, almost forgot how much I love that game, in some ways like it more than Odyssey).

On PS5, starting Yakuza: Like a Dragon, interested to see how I adjust to turn-based gameplay which I'm usually not a fan of but Yakuza is one of my favorite series of all-time so I have to give it a shot. Also hoping Activision sorts out whatever the upgrade issue is with Crash Bandicoot 4 because I'm looking forward to trying the next-gen version.

@Mamabear Wait till you reach the last level... actually, it's not TOO bad with plenty of practice, but it is far and away the hardest level in the game. It's harder with toad than any of the other characters.

Chugging away at Bravely Default on the 3DS! Just got stopped by the water crystal boss... man is he tough...

Other than that.. Yakuza 0 on PS4

Persona 5 Strikers and Robotics; Notes on Switch.

Trying to get binding of Isaac finished... a couple of completion marks left on the Keeper... it’s tough!

On Switch: Void Terrarium, Roundguard and some GG and KoF98.

On PC: Loop Hero has its hooks in me bad, which sucks because so does Valheim. Going to try and juggle those two.

I put my Switch down and jumped back into Samus Returns on the 3DS and holy crap Iforgot how good that game is, full fledged 2.5d Metroid and it's fantastic. After I beat that I decided to jump back into Ocarina 3d since i had the 3DS out and discovered my copy of the game is missing. Jumped on the Eshop and discovered it's in the Nintendo select range so I dropped the 20 bucks and I've been re loving Ocarina 3d all over again, currently in the Shadiw temple. Long live the 3DS!

Bowser's Fury, Crash 4. Maybe some Gnosia and Dragonball FighterZ (new DLC). Possibly Smash too.

@OorWullie I’m so jelly! How much is ESP Ra.De. on the Japanese eShop? And do we know if there’s any chance of it ever releasing on our virtual shores? If not, I may just crack and finally get myself some yen credit from Play Asia. Though I do really want that Aleste Collection, too!

[EDIT] I actually just checked. Am I right in saying it’s 4,500 yen? Apparently that works out at around £30 GBP, which is very tempting. I guess my next stop is to find out which denominations Play Asia does for the Japanese eShop.

Smash, FF7, Mario Galaxy on switch and Splatoon 2.

So much to play! Got 3d All-Stars and Outer Worlds last week. Especially want to start Mario 64 for the nostalgia. Did manage to return to Octopath Traveler, too. Cleaning up my ACNH island for the big makeover in between. Almost forgot, getting used to Apex Legends as it seems to be a fun game despite the graphical limitations.

I’m afraid I inherited my daughter’s cold, and with this lack of energy may ease into a slow-paced puzzle type game. I was thinking Capatain Toad would be a perfect candidate from my backlog (if I don’t just crash after the weekend chore obligations).
I see that playing Super Mario 3D World reminded a few of us of Captain Toad this weekend. 😊

Ideally I would take a chunk out of Divinity: Original Sin 2, but will likely settle for a few missions in Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, or try to get a bit closer finishing the Witcher 3: Blood & Wine DLC.

More accurately I'll likely never get a chance to touch the switch until after 9 when the kids are in bed, then promptly fall asleep on the couch at 9:30.

@Gamer83 Yakuza Like A Dragon was far and away my favourite game of 2020 (My launch game for Series X). If you can get through the first couple of chapters then it becomes possibly the best in the series (neck and neck with 0 in my opinion). I went for the full 1000gs Enjoy!

As for me it’s Dragon Quest XI on Series X; so close to the end now. Plus I bought a whole bunch of Physical Switch games to add to my backlog.

I felt like playing a fighter earlier, so I played ARMS for the first time in forever, been rocking Ninjara. I'm also planning on playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Trials and Tribulations, so I can finish the Ace Attorney trilogy. Also, because I saw someone else mention it, I might play some Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker as well.

@Vapeguy
That 3DS Metroid got me to buy a 3DS and I was not disappointed! It was even a bit of a challenge to run it fast enough for the best time window too! (Glitchless)

I played the original (game boy Metroid) on 3DS when I got it, it was great too! (Though just making a map means the second run is fastest window right).
I like the isolation feel of the original, but the clear story in the new one helps make up for the teaming with life and excessively glorified brutality in the QTE. I just look past it as a gimmick like the ocean of giant boobs in other games.

Playing a ton this weekend. Super Mario Land 6 Golden Coins, Dr Mario GB, Shovel Knight Specter of Torment, Pokemon Blue and finally Pokémon Sword which I'm nearly finished with. I'll probably have it buttoned up by the end of the weekend.

@K1LLEGAL
Good to hear. The game got great reviews on PS4, Xbox Series X/S and also PS5 and I love all the previous mainline games so I'm definitely looking forward to it. Not too concerned about a slow as that's par for the course for Yakuza. Expecting a great, epic story for sure, only concern is how I'll adjust from the action gameplay that I love to turn-based which hasn't always clicked fr me.

Playing Rocket League, still working on trying to get out of platinum. Defense & rotation arent my weakness. I'm not perfect, but they're not a weakness. I may rank up higher in 1v1 before I get higher in 3v3.

Decided to give Crash Trilogy another try - played levels 10-12 in Warped. I'm not feeling the levels where Crash runs blindly toward the camera. The Dingodile boss was fun.

Splatoon 2, ACNH, and Pokemon Sun. Just the usual. Nice weather here so I'd like to get outside.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Immortals Fenyx Rising — it is a lot of fun! Watched a tutorial that gave some basic tips that really helped.

@The_Pixel_King ESP ra.de costs 4950 yen, which translates to £32.60. I had been waiting for a Western release too but it's been a while now and I haven't read anything about it coming. I bought my codes from here

https://www.offgamers.com/game-card/consoles/nintendo-eshop-card-jp

The mark up is quite low but there is a service charge, a couple of quid per transaction. It doesn't have a basket either which made it seem more pricey than it initially seemed if buying a bulk of codes. I spoke to one of the agents on their live chat though and was advised to top up my account with store credit instead, which there is also a service charge for doing but none for any purchases made after. So that's what I done and it all went smoothly. Codes were sent straight away once I verified my account with phone number.

A 5000 yen card works out around £36, fees included. Not sure how that compares to Playasia but I'd guess it's cheaper.

Probably Apex Legends on either Switch or PC if I can get around to it. Maybe another game, but I'm not sure which one yet. I do want to try to get around to Apex at least.

God Eater 3, pretty good action/MH clone game if you can get it on sale for about half price (got it for full price and feel a bit underwhelmed i must admit).

Currently playing through Stardew Valley and the Amnesia Collection, the latter has really surprised me with how good it is.

I've been playing SNES for a change!
We had a multiplayer session in The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (the first SNES Goemon) and Donkey Kong Country, and I've been enjoying some Brain Lord (an Action RPG that shouldn't be overlooked). Oh yeah, and hopefully a good dose of Hunt: Showdown on sunday. The new update is sure to make it interesting!

@Reyren Wow! You're fast! It took me 200 hours to finish all quests and shrines. (Excluding finding all of the Korok droppings)

Age of Calamity, Lost Vikings from Blizzard Arcade, Immortals, and grabbed Mario Tennis from the Mario birthday sale.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Super Mario 3D World, and Animal Crossing

Finished Metroid Prime 2 and loved it, now working on Prime 3. Though something about Prime 3 really bothers me - it feels way different from the other prime games, but I just can’t place it. The music isn’t quite as good and it doesn’t give me those secluded vibes Metroid is known for.

Luigis Mansion 3 that I just picked up on sale. Probably going to play Persona 5 Strikers after that.

Quiplash 2 with friends on a call!

ACNH, Splatoon 2, and Tales of Vesperia!

Pokémon Blue Version (GB) - Making my way towards the Rock Tunnel. Looking forward to getting to Lavender Town.

Wordament (Android) - The game continues to crash now.

Fruit Ninja (Windows Phone) - I think I've seen all this game has to show me now.

Trying to finish bravely default 2 so I can get back to persona 5 strikers and ghosts and goblins. I'm hoping to finish them before monster hunter. Spoiler alert: it ain't happening : (

I’ve been playing mostly the first Borderlands and Hades, although I’ll try to get through the rest of the Original No More Heroes as I try to beat the first two in preparation for 3.

YS VIII, non stop.

Loving my time in Mario 3D World! I was a big fan of 3D Land, and when you add on the extra characters and mini-games in World, this is pretty much heaven for me.

I’m already trying to decide what to dig into next, and having burned out a bit on Mario 3D platformers, I’m leaning towards a beefy JRPG with Xenoblade Chronicles DE or DQXI being the front runners.

Also, looking forward to picking up my physical copy of Hades this week! Cheers!

dragon ball xenoverse 2 for the first time tonight!
smash ultimate
mh rise / mhgu
pokemon sword online battles
Arms

I'm playing the Japanese only Aleste Collection which arrived this morning courtesy of a UK eBay seller who had the bundle which included the white Aleste Game Gear Micro too!

Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury with my kids. Also maybe some 3D World on my own file (Started the Star world recently).

Still Finishing up Link’s Awakening DX as well. On the 8th dungeon now.

So...I was on my fourth playthrough of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and I was planning on doing the crimson flower route this time around. (This was the only route I haven't done yet.) However, I was kinda stupid and didn't talk to edelgard when I was supposed too. I'm a little sad because I thought this was gonna be my last playthrough so I was taking my sweet time trying to get all of the support conversations and whatnot. I ended up spending 40 hours on white clouds alone and now I gotta do another play-through if I want to do the Crimson flower route again lol. I don't mind doing another playthrough but playing through white clouds again is kind of a motivation killer to me.

Maybe it's time for me to hop back into FF12 again lol. Or who knows, I also want to 100% complete Ys VIII before Ys IX comes to switch. I'll be sure to look up missable content from now on lol.

I've been getting back into Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. What a game! I really hope Explorers of Sky gets remade after the gen 4 remakes come out

Where is the poll? Why did you remove the poll?

PS4: Trophy hunting BlazeBlue Cross Tag Battle
Nintendo Switch: Bravely Default 2

As usual, it is a pretty 3ds-heavy weekend.

I beat LoZ: Oracle of Seasons, and so am now doing the linked version of Oracle of Ages. What a great set of Zelda games I missed when they first came out.

I am also playing Unchained Blades. What a great eshop gem of an rpg. Fun and different story, and same cool systems in place.

Lastly, I am replaying the Steamworld Dig games. These are just so much fun.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Construction Simulator!!!!!

On my switch im playing mario kart, zelda awakening, stardew valley and MH rise demo at the moment. Waiting to get SOS olive town and MH rise on the 26th

I'm back at it with some more modded Terraria! Still a phenomenal game.

@Lynox5 Super MArio 3D World, Persona Strikers, The Binding Of Isaac, Life is Strange 2 ?

I'm finally almost done with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, so my goal is to finish that this weekend!

I got a N3DS XL early during the pandemic when finding a switch was impossible and had fun with new leaf, smash and MK7. Just picked up a copy of monster hunter 4 and am will be booting that up momentarily 😆

Pure Pool. 3D World. Why would I want to play anything else? 3D World is an all time classic, up there with Super Mario World on the SNES. Playability, smiles, laughs. It made me realise the whole thing Reggie and the Japanese crew said about the main objective of Nintendo is to put smiles on faces. 3D World makes me smile a lot.

@andyg1412 Same here with Awakening and I just finished it on virtual console.
so dreamy

Enjoy!

@Mijzelffan Every week someone asks and I’m yet to see an answer.

Well I did beat Bravely 2.

Decided to go for (what I assume to be) a short game, Half-Life. I've been kinda trying to be getting into FPSs a bit after having neglected them for most of life and this one is a genre classic or so I hear, managed to make it roughly a hour in and so far I'm enjoying it, the sound design in particular I find really good.

Those headcrab things are really annoying to hit though.

Fortnite and Dead Cells, I might possibly check out Apex on Switch.

Started octopath traveler a couple fo weeks ago and it’s slow and long don’t know if i will make it to the end.

Minion Masters (PC)
Sonic Adventures DX (PC)
Evil Genius (PC)

@The_Pixel_King I haven't played it yet. I have played the Aleste Collection though and I imagine it's set up much the same as that. Most of the options are in English except for system settings but you can find a translation online. Or do what I do, use Google translate photo mode and hover it over the text. It's fiddly but it does the job haha. Going by Aleste, it's all fairly easy to navigate

The Aleste Collection is superb by the way. It's surprised me. Every game is good and they look and sound far better than I thought they would.

@Reyren Exciting to hear of some one playing BotW! I played it at launch and more when DLC dropped. But i still have not played it a second time. I really want to but there are always more games. If you are wondering, i definitely think the DLC is worth the price. Enjoy the game!

Animal crossing! I am surprised how the new Mario items have sparked my imagination. It is such a chill almost meditative way to spend time.

I got to level 70 in Rocket League season. So, i now have the coolest car. That game is fun.

And Mario world. And travel mosaics and lonely mountain. . .

Happy gaming everyone!

Everhood caught my eye, but I want to see the review first. For now I finallt aqured the mario 3D colection and am trying to beat 64 for the first time, as well as a brand new game called Chained (It's actually pretty good).

I have been playing Mario Party 9 lately. This game gives me nostalgia vibes every time I turn it on. I even have two episodes of this game on my Youtube channel. I'll have a third one later tonight.

Started Paper Mario Origami King, as well as continuing my progress in Super Mario 3D World.
Might play some 90's Arcades from Capcom or Neo Geo games.

Btw, if you have Apple Arcade - try Sp!ing - awesome platformer/rope swinging game, level design is great.

I've been playing more on the Switch again of late following my lack of inspiration on the PS5 side. On world 8 of 3D World and been enjoying Pyra in Smash. I'm still a bit unsure of the faster running speed in 3D World. I keep running of ledges or overshooting when I jump, even late in the game. Won't be a problem for first time players on Switch and it doesn't detract from the game that much overall. It's still my favourite Mario game.

@I_commented yeah, I played through the trilogy a couple of years ago and Prime 3 almost feels like it’s from a different series. They for sure leant in heavy to a more linear and cinematic game as opposed to the previous two’s slow, atmospheric exploration. It’s also very short with not many collectibles to go back and find. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good game but it’s very different and doesn’t stand shoulder to shoulder with 2 and, especially, 1

I have played the DLC! But I haven't finished the third and final Master Sword Trial. ;p
While I feel like it wasn't really worth the price of admission (20 euros), I enjoyed the DLC for what it was.

I have played TROPICO 6 - and I'm loving it. It have been a long time since I have played a City-building games. And the political issue in this game is really leveling the strategy-element.

I’ve been replay Breath Of The Wild
