Hello Everyone!
(Post got too long, if you want to skip, game names are in bold, you can just read those)
June is ending, and July is starting. For the US folks, that means 4th of July is coming! Another day to just play games, without worrying about work or school!
I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kindgom, about 75 hours in and very near the end, will probably finish it soon. Would have to wait and see, if I lose interest in rest of the stuff after finishing the main story, or want to keep exploring and doing other stuff. Details next, move to next paragraph, if you want to skip. I have done the last regional quest, I originally wanted to go back to exploring after that, but after getting all Tears and completing all regional quest, I wanted to focus on story and see how it ends, so left everything and went to the Castle. Haven’t reached the final boss yet, but I think I am near the end now.
In non-Nintendo games, played a bit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge with my kid. We both had lots of fun with it, and going to continue playing it when we both have time. Only complaint I have is that 2nd player doesn’t earn any trophies, but that isn’t a big issue for me.
Also played a little of Monster Hunter: World, and I must say, Capcom, improve your multiplayer setup! It’s so confusing. Only the host can watch cut-scene, and you can’t play a mission whose cut-scene you haven’t watched. So, if 4 players are playing, they all have to start the story mission separately, then during the mission when you come across the monster first time, there’s a cut scene, after you have watched cut scene, all of you must abandon the quest and then one person can host the mission again and everyone else can join it. (Or all person except one can leave their mission and join that person’s mission mid-way). Took us more than an hour to figure all that out. Not counting that, the game is really fun, but still not sure if we are going to stick to it.
Other than that, Marvel’s Avengers is leaving PS+ Extra on 12 July. I usually don’t prioritize games based on when they are leaving, but the game is shutting down in September and I don’t want to spend money on it. So, even though I don’t want to start another game right now, I am going to give it a try. The campaign is only 12 or so hours, and I have heard it is fun enough. So, plan to start it too. Not sure if I’ll play the full campaign, but I want to give it a try.
So, what about all of you? What are you playing?
Edit: June doesn’t have 31 days! facepalm

Also on TotK, slightly behind you. Finished the fourth regional quest but haven’t reported back to Purah yet.
!Spoiler alert! My plans are to do that, then the Korok forest, followed by the extra tear and the fifth sage (who I had stumbled upon before even finishing my second temple). Then I’ll just… dick around for months instead of going to the castle. :D
Ah, interesting. BTW you can use spoilers tag, for spoilers

I haven’t done much sky islands, so didn’t stumble upon the fifth sage quest. And I don’t know what’s there to do in Korok forest, since I haven’t been there, but will check it out after finishing the game.
Basically the same as me. I finally went to Purah and most of the dialogue was “Ohh you already did that?”
I still have only have half of the depths explored, and finally have hero quest to figure out which sky Islands I haven’t visited.
I wish they would recognize more quests though. I had done all the Tears, and I knew about Zelda, but still, all dialogues are, along the line of no one knowing what happened to Zelda.
Just started Zelda TOTK, slow burning it at the moment, will probably play persona 5 after this.
If you have just started TotK, and you are slow burning it, there is no need to think of what to play next yet. You have a looong journey ahead of you.
Have fun!
I finished Tears of the Kingdom today! The ending is very sweet. I enjoyed the game immensely and I’m glad I spent so long wandering around, because I needed every last heart for the final boss!
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
It’s one of my favourite RPG, still listen to to the title music sometimes. The game-play, the combat, the pawn system. Loved it all. And with the sequel releasing soon, it’s the best time to play it.
I’m going to finish Pikmin and then start Pikmin 2.
I’m feeling a real nostalgia hit at the moment for the GameCube so hopefully I can get stuck in to some favourites too!
Nice!
What are your favourites from GameCube era?
I just got the Harvest Moon remake on switch and it’s been great. It’s still difficult but they added in more to the plot with the wonders. Oh and they yassified Gordy.
I never played the original, how would you say the game is, for someone who has no nostalgia for it, and has played some of the modern farming games?
not this weekend but next weekend, i am hoping to get the harvest moon remake and maybe we love katamari remake. loved these games as a kid so a lot of nostalgia there.
I’ve been on Visual Novel mood, finished Robotics;Notes Elite earlier this week (which was excellent!) and started playing the sequel, Robotics;Notes DaSH. Just completed Phase 02 of the sequel, and managed to unlock the five different routes that branch from this point.
However, so far DaSH has been a disappointment. The plot of the early portions of the game is just terrible, and Daru’s perverted jokes get old really fast with him as the main character. Since there are hints of some bigger conspiracy behing the nonsense of these early parts of the game I’ll hold my judgment until I finish the game, but it’ll have to be some really great twist to make up for this painful start.
I’ll be shooting bugs in mines with dwarves in Deep Rock Galactic. ROCK AND STONE!
I played one or two missions of Deep Rock Galactic, didn’t enjoy much playing solo, but I have heard it can be lots of fun when playing with friends. Maybe I should convince my friends to give it a try…
Pinky: What are we doing this weekend, Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every weekend…We’re going to take over Hyrule!Hyrule is the best place to be!
Playing BotW or TotK? And how far along are you?
TotK. I’m going the maximum exploration route, so I’ve only gotten the Travel Medallions, Tulin’s Sage, and the locator so far. I’m leaving the main story until much later. 135 hours in, though, and only playing an hour or two most days.
I got accepted into Division Heartland closed beta. Gonna be playing that.
Congratulations, where are you playing it? Is it PC only yet?
I have never played any of the Tom Clancy games (other than little bit of first Division, but gave up because of the grindy nature of the game), let us know how you are liking the game.
PC only, unfortunately the NDA forbids any public discussion on it.
Ah, of course, no worries. Have fun!
As you talk about it ;) lmao. I am in it aswell though. I am disappointed in the game.
How they murdered one of my favorite game. They chose to just ignore those of us who liked the OG game, and used the brand to attract an entire different group of audience. Hoping for division 3.
It actually made me and my friend buy div 2 on PC as I never bought div 2 on PC before this. I am really hoping for a div 3 or another game like the div. With a dark zone area type with actually rpg elements and build crafting.
I’m also at 75 hours in TotK, but not much closer to finishing the main quest than last week 😅
I played a bit of Doom Eternal since I finally got my phisical copy from Limited Run Games. It was very fun, and it feels different to Doom (2016). Still looks amazing on Switch! I’ll probably be playing some more during the weekend to take a break from Zelda.
Shredder’s Revenge is so much fun. Played all the story and some arcade in co-op and it’s always a good one to go back to. The DLC will make me play it again for sure!

Heh, it’s same for me this week, haven’t progressed much.
Glad to hear about about Doom Eternal, it recently came to PS+ Extra, so would play it there.
As for Shredder’s Revenge, yeah, it’s a great game, going to follow whatever the devs make next.
Just a heads up OP, Capcom did improve the multiplayer experience in Monster Hunter Rise. No more waiting to join a friend till after they’ve seen a cut scene. Honestly, makes playing with other people a lot smoother. Also, Avengers was kinda rough imo. I picked it up for about $8 a few months back after they mentioned it was going down and all the content was included, found the main story pretty meh, and gave up on getting to the DLC since it would take take a good bit of grinding to get to it. Certainly not the worst I’ve ever played… but wow does it leave a lot to be desired. Here’s hoping you have more fun with it.
As for me: if I’m counting Friday, PowerWash Simulator dropped the SpongeBob DLC on Thursday, so I finished that out. Really fun, super high quality, though a shame it doesn’t appear to have the music present. That being said, music licensing is wild, so I don’t really hold it against the devs.
Planning to get back into Final Fantasy XIV some more as I’ve been out of it for months and just kinda wanna play it some more. It has literally been months though, so I’m super terrified of getting back into like, the actual new content. Just gotta shake the rust off I guess, so I’ve been cleaning up some solo stuff to get the feel back.
And since I’ve got the 4th off as well, probably going to tip into some Boltgun as I haven’t finished it yet. It’s good, but it hasn’t grabbed me like some of the other boomer shooters I’ve played lately. Oh well.
That’s great to hear about the MH: Rise, but we have gotten used to MH: World (and we all already have it), so going to stick to it and play that for a while.
As for Avengers, I am liking the start of the Campaign, but it could just be my lowered expectations. Let’s see how it holds up.
I have always wanted to play a MMORPG, played a bit of FF XIV, but the amount of time needed to play a MMO is just something I don’t have. Good luck getting your groove back.
Boltgun is on my wishlist, thanks for your impressions, will check out some reviews before getting it.
After 240+ hours on TOTK, I finally finished it, I didn’t know what to play for a few days, but then I started South Park The Fractured But Whole and I’m having a blast, I am a fan of the show and I love how the games feel just like an episode or a movie, I hope they make a third one down the line.
Wow, 240+ hours! That’s really something. I don’t think I am going to cross 100 hours anytime soon. How much did you do? All shrines? Koroks? Compendium?
I have never seen South Park so never got interested in the game, but I have heard from lots of people that it’s really fun. Glad you are enjoying it!
Not at all lol, I just love exploring and taking my time so it adds up, and just a few days ago I decided that I finally should finish the game, it was an awesome experience all the way through, my only complaint would be combat, I was hoping it had improved since botw but nope.
I think the South Park games should be given a chance even if you are not a fan of the show, they stand very well on their own as fun RPGs.

Still playing TOTK. Still have plenty to do.
