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
I was at the same boat with Tears of the Kingdom as you - when I got all tears AND finished all regional quests, I immediately went to the castle and finished all story related quests that followed. Which of the regional quests did you enjoy the most?
Shredder’s revenge is so much fun! I really enjoyed playing this with my partner when we were in long distance relationship. Are you planning on getting the DLC?
As for my gaming progression this weekend, I’m gonna continue with clearing my backlog, game by game. On switch I am currently playing Blaster Master Zero 2, which I paired with a longer game I started playing this week - The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. The writing is so good! The characters are also enjoyable, as is the tradition for Ace Attorney series. I definitely look forward to play more of this.
On PlayStation, I managed to find used copy of Forspoken for a reasonable price. I was already interested in the game from playing the demo so I took the chance. I played for two hours last night already. So far it seems… not that bad? It’s probably too soon to tell, although I have a feeling I will end up liking the game in the end.
A shout-out for Shredder’s Revenge gets an Up-Lemm(?) from me. I can’t wait for that DLC to drop. Otherwise, watching my wife play TOTK is such a joy to me
TotK is such a good game, it does not matter if you play it or just watch someone else play it, you can have fun either way!
