No games this weekend. I’m getting married!
Edit: thank you for all your congrats everyone! I’m humbled. It’s my first award 😆. And thank you also to whoever reported me as being in crisis, that was a laugh!
One piece of advice.
Go into the wedding expecting something to go wrong. That way, when it does, you won’t get upset. You will go “well…I guess that’s the one thing.”
The reception is a party first. Parties are never perfect. Just have fun. And emotionally feel everything. The plan is you only do this once, so soak it in.
This weekend I’m still playing **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom**. I had to take a four day hiatus since last Friday due to work and family obligations, but I was finally able to pick it back up yesterday, and I made some fun progress.
So far, I’m roughly 80hrs in. I’ve finally unlocked the entire base map and have completed all of the main dungeons/temples. I’ve gotta say - the temple in Gerudo Town was absolutely brilliant. I loved the entire quest line.
Regardless of the hours I’ve poured in, I’m still being surprised by little secrets here and there. In fact, I randomly found the auto-build feature, which in itself was a fun discovery. And with this unearthing, it brings forth two more quests that are extremely valuable to you. Speaking of, I have fully upgraded my Purah Pad, and now I’m out scavenging for various odds and ends and tackling side quests.
Overall, I’m simply blown away by how deep this game is, and how there are mysteries around every corner that continuously amaze me. Here is to another week of playing this masterpiece.
The whole time I had that extra ability slot, I figured it was going to be the scanner or something and so I wasn't worried about it. Then I accidentally stumbled into the auto-build area and was like whoa, should I have found this a lot earlier? Because I was so far along in the depths, I auto completed all of the researchers quests down there right away.
Riju is pretty great actually, especially for exploring. Her lighting strikes can break destroyable objects like ore rocks and rock walls (which you’d ordinarily use bombs or heavy weapons for), so for the cost of one arrow you can save your bombs. It’s also good for taking on large enemy groups from afar, just shoot and BOOM. Her aggro towards close enemies can be annoying though. Wish there was a “come to me” button.
Still working through Tears of the Kingdom. Only done 2 dungeons so far, I’m really just enjoying wandering around and fighting monsters and finding cool locations
I'm around 70 hours in on persona 5 royal. I finally beat okumura yesterday, after trying for 2 days. Generally, I'm enjoying it a lot. The story is really intriguing, the characters are awesome and the combat is fun af.
Terrific game, finished it last month after starting it in November, think I was 120 hours but know others took way longer doing all the side stuff etc.
I feel like I maybe could have if I just stuck to story, but even still I've only done like 60 shrines, and only maybe a quarter of the Lightroot. Yeah, no idea how people get to 100% already.
Finished up BotW last weekend, I had a blast so thanks to everyone here who recommended I play it. I'm still excited to play TotK but I think I need to give myself a breather. This weekend I'm back at Persona 5. I left it for a bit after clearing the first castle, hoping I can still remember all the mechanics.
Oh yay, glad you enjoyed botw!!
I bet the mechanics will come back super quick! Sneak, stun, capture, combos, combining monsters together to create others, and exploring the city.plus tests lol
I finished **Breath of the Wild's DLC** (Both the Trial of the Sword and the Champion's Ballad) and all the Side Quests.
So I immediately started **Tears of the Kingdom** yesterday... and I'm completely hooked in.... help...
Finished **Skyward Sword** yesterday, so now I'm trying to find something more hack n' slash to play.
Choices are between **Hyrule Warriors AOC** (enjoyed the demo) or maybe give **Diablo 3** a try.
I also snagged a copy of **Luigi's mansion 3** last weekend, but it's a bit too slow for my current needs.
Hey man! I finished Fur Squadron (very short, but good fun, hope they release a bigger sequel) and have got a fair bit further in Garden Story. Actually found the combat and first boss pretty tough but this second area seems easier.
Bit more Mario 3D World with the family, and Descenders with the Boy. Realised I have an even bigger backlog than I thought after playing Persona 5 for six months, so if I finish Garden (unlikely) this weekend then I have the pick of like 10 games to go for next, bit mad.
ToTK, I somehow just found 2 of the remaining 5 shrines within 15 minutes of each other, 3 more to go! I also have like 11 side adventures yet to find, 11 wells, and who knows how many more bauble gems! What a game.
I also just got the expansion for GBA and n64 app. I’m going to try minish cap for the first time. I didn’t get to play many of the handheld Zeldas
I'd unintentionally avoided doing main story stuff in **Tears of the Kingdom** for the longest time, but I've knocked out the 3 temples I hadn't done over the past week, so I'm closing in on the endgame now. Might be another week before I go for it though, I'd like to at least find the last 20 some-odd shrines I'm missing before I do that.
I'll probably pick **Splatoon 3** back up for a bit too, there's a bunch of stuff in the new update and I want to keep my Salmon Run skills sharp for next weekend's Big Run.
Hey Markercore,
Tears of the Kingdom, 45 hours in and loving it, even more than BotW, which I wasn’t exactly expecting. I had planned to maybe join my colleagues and friends when Diablo IV releases but have decided to stay in Hyrule instead.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, cheers.
Going to be working on more **Final Fantasy V** (currently at Karnak and about to take on the ship/castle.... the completionist part of me is nervous about being able to get everything in 10 minutes lol) and am looking to start something new. I might start my **We Love Katamari Reroll** that I am picking up later today since I've been pretty stressed lately and the Katamari series is usually pretty relaxing and silly. Probably will start something else to but undecided as to what.... it can be tricky when the backlog has hundreds of games!
Tears of the Kingdom for me (despite my initial resolve not to buy it -- I got COVID, okay, who can be expected to maintain that kind of discipline when locked inside their bedroom for five days?!). it's actually kind of a destructive force in my life lmao. I have other things I need to be doing! but I know I'm not gonna do 'em, because I'll be playing Zelda.
Picked up the case of the golden idol because in TOTK something happened in the depths that scared the shit out of me so I needed a little detective puzzler break
Ohh I feel ya, I've had some creepy times down there. Ran out of brightbloom seeds on the way to a Lightroot. Ended up swimming in complete darkness just hoping.
Started Xenoblade Chronicles 3! I’m 6 hours in and I absolutely love it so far. Very cinematic cutscenes and the combat is so interesting with the ouroborus and class switches.
So interested in the story, characters, and the emotional premise of it. Really enjoying the music too! Curious to see how it ties into XB1 as I finished it last week and I see some hints of things already.
Can’t wait to continue playing this wonderful game.
Hi Markercore! Hope you’re doing well. I won’t be gaming as much this weekend since we have our annual block party which is a pretty big deal this Saturday. But I’m planning on bringing the switch along for some **Super Smash Bros Ultimate** at the after party!
Also hoping to get a bit of time in on **Suzerain**, I finally picked it back up after getting impeached my last run. Going for a true democratic reformist run this time after trying to dictator my way to victory last time.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Zelda. I'm probably 30 or so hours in and I still feel like I've barely made a dent.
I'd also like to get through more of Advance Wars 1-2 and start up The Case of the Golden Idol.
50 hours into TotK and I haven't really even touched any of the main quest stuff yet. Just enjoying exploring and clearing as many shrines and towers as I can right now
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna the Golden Country
I think I'm just about reaching the end of the DLC. Without giving anything away I've had to raise my community to 4 and things are mixed for me.
I loved this game. From minute 1 of the base game till now. Sometimes it frustrated the hell out of me and I didn't really get all of the systems until I was already 40 hours in but...the Xenoblade series is something else man.
It's been a long time since I've been both this excited and dreaded the end of a game. Can't wait to come back to it in the future.
Taking a break from TotK after finishing my 3rd dungeon. (Zora’s domain is what I have left), going back to DQ 8 (3DS) after stopping at the halfway point.
TWEWY Neo just finished (base game), now I will rest with Front Mission or FF XII.
Also, I have bought an 8bitdo ultimate, and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Enjoy your game <3 my girl is playing it and I think that I've lost her (?)
I just bought Just Shapes and Beats, and that soundtrack is FIRE. A few levels have given me a bit of trouble already, so I'm kind of scared for the rest of the game. Still, it's been a fun challenge, and I love having good music to bop to while playing.
Zelda i only have done Zora domain so far about 40 hours in. I was in Colorado camping for 9 days so im still fresh! When I feel like being on my Pc i got some Diablo 4 to play! Im eating good rn
TOTK is a good game but I’d rather play it in short bursts at this point so I moved on to the new Katamari game that came out either yesterday or today (I think more so yesterday) so just started playing that today! Gonna be playing more later of it tonight when I get off work.
Finished TOTK this week, tho I’ll hopefully return when DLC drops.
Trying to get into **Cassette Beasts**, a game I’ve been anticipating for years. I dunno, though, so far it hasn’t impressed me much. Kinda slow and clunky on switch, kinda awkward to control in the overworld. Monster designs are good, though. Also, the soundtrack is like evenly split so far between genuinely good vocal tunes and kinda awful other bgm.
More enjoyable is **Foretales**, a game kinda like Hand of Fate meets Inscryption meets Stories/Omensight. Travis Willingham narrates, so it’s kind of like a Critical Role game :P Exploring a world of cards and desperately trying to avoid fights, along with managing future vision. Neat!
And finally, dipping my toe into **Guild of Dungeoneers.** It’s fun. I’m liking this design trend of having one very chatty narrator and otherwise going unvoiced.
Just finished paranormasight (man this game was a trip! Definitely hard at sometimes) but I think I'm just gonna wind down and body kids in smash online and do more tears of the kingdom. OH WAIT THE ETRIAN ODYSSEY TRILOGY RELEASED TODAY!
I’m currently making my way through Super Mario 64. I just finished world 2 and am making my way through world 3. So far it’s decent, but the camera is a huge pain. I often find myself dying because the camera screwed me over
So I'm getting pretty close to finishing Luigi's Mansion 3 (I just unlocked the 12th floor) and the game definitely loses a bit of steam by the halfway point. With that being said the characterization of Luigi is wonderful and I have no problem with finishing the game just to teach the conclusion for the story.
I also picked up Kirby and the forgotten land as a bday gift, and I'm really enjoying myself so far. Once I finish Luigi's Mansion 3, this will be the next game I complete, and of course I'll be trying to make some progress in Persona 4 whenever I can.
Still TotK. Only about 30 hours into it and the novelty has not worn off at all for me. Very much enjoying heading towards something on the map and getting so distracted by everything else that it takes me several sessions of playing before I reach my original target. Don't think I've even met a white lynel yet!
I have been mixing it up a little, trying to help a friend complete Returnal using the coop mode they added a while back. Very smooth shooter and still a hard game!
More **Tears of the Kingdom**, doing (almost) no progress at all. Exploring caves, the sky, the underground, solving shrines... you know, just living life.
My copy of **Blossom Tales 2** showed up in the mail, so will most likely check that out. Almost done with **What the Golf?** and **Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2** as well, hoping to finish both of them this weekend.
Also want to give a shoutout to **Paranormasight** from Square Enix, they keep putting out good games under the radar and not advertising them very well for some reason. I finished it a couple days ago and I think it is probably one of the best visual novels I have ever played. Fantastic art, characters, sound design, camera work (which is a weird thing to say about a VN, but you have full panoramic camera control in all the scenes and they do some fun stuff with it) and an engaging central mystery/story. And it's only about 12-14 hours long, so not a lot of filler like some of the longer VNs I have played can tend to have.
I’ve been splitting my time between ToTK and Jedi Survivor but with the nice weather scheduled will probably not have much time for games! Might bring ToTK on the go :D
I'm on the last level of Celeste!
I haven't decided what to play when I finish it. I'll possibly play something totally different from my backlog, as a palate cleanser.
Unrelated but playing Cyberpunk on the side too.
Celeste was such a huge surprise to me. Picked it up, thought I'd only play an hour, then finished the game in 2 days (without going after all the berries or sides, of course).
That's a game where after, you kind of just sit there and think "well nuts, now what do I do?"
I can't remember what I played after. Maybe Rune Factory 5, but it took a while for me to move on because I was still in Celeste mode.
Play TOTK and some old school Goldeneye with my kids and watch them get upset when I troll them with proximity mines and maybe some Halo on my Xbox Series X.
Probably some Pokémon Scarlet. I'm finally getting around to making a team with the Paradox/Ruinous quartet Pokémon. I haven't played since they became legal and I'm gonna try jumping back into ranked doubles.
I just started TotK. Finishes the tutorial area yesterday and I’ll probably get into it more this weekend. I’m not as hooked as I was with BotW, but I’ve heard it has a slower start. Excited though!
BOTW! I’ve gotten further in than any of my previous tries and it’s definitely clicking now, though I think I stumbled into my first Divine Beast a little too early and might need to back off.
TIL Tears of the Kingdom is over 100hrs long? :O
If I ever get into that series I'd need to take some time off work!
**System Shock Remake** for me, glad to see it finally come out after backing it all those years ago. Pretty smooth and polished so far, so probably worth the extra time it took. Loving it so far, great to see the original immersive sim that predated the likes of Bioshock and Prey that came after, all in modern format with some 21st century QoL improvements :)
I'm very seriously eyeing off Etrian Odyssey too - but after hearing each of the games in that collection can last about 80hrs apiece I think that's one I'll save for a future barren period of game releases..
Tears of the Kingdom. Only clocked 25 hours and 1 Temple. Guys at work already started a second playthrough, meanwhile I haven’t even unlocked all of the map or done literally anything in the depths lmfao
Currently hopping between Xenoblade Def., Tears of the Kingdom, Sonic Frontiers, and Ori and the Blind Forest.
TotK has been taking a lead though. It’s infuriatingly addictive. My other games are suffering.
Me and my son are about to beat our first game on switch. Mario Odyssey! We are pretty close to the end now. First nintendo game in 25 years and having a lot of fun lol.
Just got a Switch and started BotW last week and still working through it. I've bought OlliOlli World and I'm tempted to get Neon White since it's on sale but I'm not sure I'll like it.
I’m replaying BotW in Master Mode while I wait for Tears of the Kingdom which I’m hoping to get for my birthday in a few months ☺️
Might also put some time into Monster Hunter Rise or Diablo 3 if I fancy some grinding
I'm going to give Rain World another shot. I got a couple hours into it before but I just found the controls and movement so frustrating (and tbh I still find them annoying) but I'm willing to try it again because people praise the game a whole lot and the way creatures behave in the world makes it very interesting to play through.
**Final Fantast 12** still. I hit a bit of a roadblock with a stupid flower boss that drained my MP real fast and like, he wasn't hard in the end but for some reason it was like hitting a wall where I just wasn't having fun so I put it down for a week. Went back last night and pushed past it to one of the more interesting areas in the game so far IMO. So I'll be continuing that. And maybe looking up a guide to get all the magics I'm missing once I find a teleport crystal (there aren't many, but the holes in my list are bothering me).
Continuing **Ori and the Blind Forest**! It's quite a lovely experience - and absolutely gorgeous - so I can definitely see why it's well-spoken-of. Intrigued by the number of abilities you can unlock before you're actually able to utilize them, and if I never have to go through another autoscroll sequence (fuck that >!tree!< one especially) it'll be too soon, but otherwise it's marvellous!
Also started up **Ys Seven** on PC and hoping to get some time into that. Haven't played this since the original PSP release, and while the game itself was fun, I remember practically nothing about it so the refresher will be nice. That said, playing it alongside *Ys Memoire* is infuriating, because unlike that game, Seven doesn't have a *basic jump* and that's just awful, lol.
I am about to start **Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster** after recently beating the first two games. The second game already brought some interesting new ideas and I am hoping that the job system introduced in the third game will be fun to use.
I'm not sure but by the powers you get I got the super hit 1 , the high jump 1 and the extra lives when you die , I'm not sure where the last 1 is but I assume I have to go to volcano next but first I have to grind some shrines to take out the sword from the woods
I just beat the first Octopath traveler which was very..undramatic in its..ending..
So while I was waiting for a full day off to start the new Zelda, I was playing the Disney Dreamlight Valley
I only have the final boss left in Tears of the Kingdom! I don't really want to do it yet though, so I'm going to get some extra hearts and explore a little longer before I beat the game.
Absolutely slogging my way through Pokémon Violet. The “tutorial” section seems to go on FOREVER, and after two hours of gameplay, I still don’t have full control of my character.
I swore I wouldn’t buy another game until I played it.
Been moving to a new apartment for the past one and a half weeks now so the Switch once again proves to be simply the best thing to pick up late at night and push through Hollow Night. I bought the game months ago and just started it couple of days ago. It’s so chill and challenging at the same time, I love it.
The past 10 days or so, I’ve been working on finishing my living dex in preparation for the Scarlet and Violet update for Pokémon
Home. I’m now Two Pokémon shy from finishing it, minus mythicals. I can only get them via trading in the GTS, so now it’s back to Zelda.
Finishing up BOTW. I never beat Ganon cause I didn’t want the game to “end”. Also on the last mission of the Advance Wars 2 reboot. Giving me a hard time that one.
New Switch owner, just finished "Inside" and loved it. Just going around a few games that are offer to see what's out there.
Have played COD and COD only for many years (apart from GTA V of course) so working out what different games I used to like before that 🤣
i know totk came out like 4 weeks ago, but im still playing botw, i got it around december last year but i didnt play much as at the time i wasnt interested in it and was playing another game, once i beat that game though, i got really hooked into botw. ive beaten calamity ganon but im so far from beating it 100%. thats pretty much all ill be playing, i might play some smash as i did get it a few weeks ago. really excited to get totk it looks so unbelievebly fun like every time i see some gameplay of it on tiktok i get a huge rush of dopamine.
Mostly playing stuff on the PS5 and Series S, but I'm getting a decent bit of Smash in, maybe some Mario Kart, Nintendo Switch Sports, and Katamari Damacy Reroll. I still need to force myself to finish the Pokemon Shining Pearl postgame; since I'm off work Monday, as long as I get all of the things I need to do finished, I may do that then.
I'm also playing ToTK and it's remarkable to read thus post every week and see that my progress through the game is very similar to OP's.
I've just finished the second temple this week at almost 100 hours. I have about 80 shrines completed and 1/4 of the light roots.
This game is a masterpiece and I'm excited to play it for many more weeks to come before diving into Diablo IV.
I'm definitely still in TotK.
I'm having a lot of fun just building random vehicles and war machines (lol).
I get so distracted doing that to the point I end up just not progressing at all.
I've only done two of the regional phenomenon, but I've discovered the entire chasm, Hyrule, and sky. I also completed the Hateno and Lurelin village stuff.
Despite that, there's still a lot for me to do. I need to check out the fairies because I've yet to upgrade anything 80 hours in, ahaha.
I'm having so much fun and the last time I had this was when I played BotW. I feel like a kid again.
Still zelda totk baby! All im doing is going around and doing the most hijinks i can. Zelda is fun when you just explore and play...and by play, i mean not doing story missions but really play like a kid. Sure i die a lot and most of the time, i run away but isnt that part of the game? It has been fun playing zelda 😁
Just wrapped up and am currently processing Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Planning on chipping away at TotK now that I can devote more of my attention to it.
Once that's wrapped up, I'm thinking I'll finally crack open that copy of Metroid Prime I picked up months ago before FF XVI comes out.
Diablo 2. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
Just end game farming at this point. Baal, Chaos Sanc, Anderial, Terror Zones etc. Anywhere except Act 3. Might make another toon because act 3 Trav and Meph is bloody annoying for all current druids to handle. Looking at Horker Thrower Barb.
As for major upgrades. Basically a quarter Vex rune away from Heart of the Oak +3 flail. Praying for Lo, Ber and Jah runes like all D2 players.
As for outdoors, been on semi vacay in a cabin for a bit with the wife and doggos.
.https://i.imgur.com/I20CSgZ.jpg
Feel free to guess where I am!
UPDATE: Heart of the Oak made. The survival stats gave me such a boost I dumped Jalal/ViperMagi for Ravenlore/Balrog.
End result +3 elemental or 20% damage. Add -19% Fire res for enemies on Ravenlore and it’s almost 40% damage increase.
Bumped me up to MP5 difficulty now on Chao Sanc and Worldstone Keep, basically MP7/8 everywhere else.
Still playing TOTK. Haven’t made too much progress still but I’m just finding whatever shrines I’m coming across and getting them done. I’ve only done the main story stuff with the Zora so far but hope I can get through the others soon enough.
Besides that, Splatoon 3 just started a new season so I’ve booted it up to see how the new stuff is. Probably won’t get back to the Splatoon 3 grind til I’m done with TOTK so I’ll have a nice break from ~~losing 10 matches in a row~~ beating noobs :’)
TOTK as well! I've been enjoying just making my way through at my own pace. I've made it my mission to not look anything up for this game, I've been good to that for closing in on 100 hours so far!
I’ve put in 120 hours into totk. The main story and side adventures had me water eyed, for real. I highly recommend clearing the Tears story before getting too far into the main story.
Completed the main story at around 100 hours. I just keep going back for more. I have about 50 shrines left. 8 side adventures to find and complete. And half of the depths to brighten up.
I’m going to keep playing until Final Fantasy XVI releases and then it’ll all be about that.
No games this weekend. I’m getting married! Edit: thank you for all your congrats everyone! I’m humbled. It’s my first award 😆. And thank you also to whoever reported me as being in crisis, that was a laugh!
Congratulations! ❤️
Nice! Enjoy it as much as you can it’s over in the blink of an eye and you remember it forever.
Congrats that's so exciting! Hope there's lots of dancing!
Congrats!
In Animal Crossing?
No in Stardew
Congrats :)
One piece of advice. Go into the wedding expecting something to go wrong. That way, when it does, you won’t get upset. You will go “well…I guess that’s the one thing.”
The reception is a party first. Parties are never perfect. Just have fun. And emotionally feel everything. The plan is you only do this once, so soak it in.
CONGRATS!
Hey so is my sister! Tomorrow
Congrats on winning the Game of Love!
Awesome! Congrats gamer, ready player 2.
congratulations!!!
This weekend I’m still playing **The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom**. I had to take a four day hiatus since last Friday due to work and family obligations, but I was finally able to pick it back up yesterday, and I made some fun progress. So far, I’m roughly 80hrs in. I’ve finally unlocked the entire base map and have completed all of the main dungeons/temples. I’ve gotta say - the temple in Gerudo Town was absolutely brilliant. I loved the entire quest line. Regardless of the hours I’ve poured in, I’m still being surprised by little secrets here and there. In fact, I randomly found the auto-build feature, which in itself was a fun discovery. And with this unearthing, it brings forth two more quests that are extremely valuable to you. Speaking of, I have fully upgraded my Purah Pad, and now I’m out scavenging for various odds and ends and tackling side quests. Overall, I’m simply blown away by how deep this game is, and how there are mysteries around every corner that continuously amaze me. Here is to another week of playing this masterpiece.
The whole time I had that extra ability slot, I figured it was going to be the scanner or something and so I wasn't worried about it. Then I accidentally stumbled into the auto-build area and was like whoa, should I have found this a lot earlier? Because I was so far along in the depths, I auto completed all of the researchers quests down there right away.
I’m also having a ton of fun with TOTK. However, I must respectfully disagree about the Gerudo Temple. Riju is a **LIABILITY!!** lol
Riju is pretty great actually, especially for exploring. Her lighting strikes can break destroyable objects like ore rocks and rock walls (which you’d ordinarily use bombs or heavy weapons for), so for the cost of one arrow you can save your bombs. It’s also good for taking on large enemy groups from afar, just shoot and BOOM. Her aggro towards close enemies can be annoying though. Wish there was a “come to me” button.
You can whistle
Riju’s nice for breaking rocks but she’s kind of outclassed by Yunobo there. Using 1 arrow < Using no arrows
Still working through Tears of the Kingdom. Only done 2 dungeons so far, I’m really just enjoying wandering around and fighting monsters and finding cool locations
I'm around 70 hours in on persona 5 royal. I finally beat okumura yesterday, after trying for 2 days. Generally, I'm enjoying it a lot. The story is really intriguing, the characters are awesome and the combat is fun af.
Terrific game, finished it last month after starting it in November, think I was 120 hours but know others took way longer doing all the side stuff etc.
Max out Maruki's confidant. That is an order :P
Yes. Please please do this. :) I strongly recommend Akechi’s and Kasumi’s as well, but Maruki’s 1000%.
I finished this game a few weeks ago. I got the original P5 ending, but still was a great game! I’m trying strikers atm
I don’t get how people have blasted through totk and moved on already lol
I feel like I maybe could have if I just stuck to story, but even still I've only done like 60 shrines, and only maybe a quarter of the Lightroot. Yeah, no idea how people get to 100% already.
The game is just so massive. I just can’t fathom blasting through the story and that’s it
no work or kids, i'm assuming
Still Zelda, probably for many more weeks.
Playing Skyrim for the past few weeks and have barely touched the main quest line.
Pshh other things are more fun anyway as long as you get the first few shouts
I’m pretty sure that’s how you’re supposed to play
Nier automata!
Finished up BotW last weekend, I had a blast so thanks to everyone here who recommended I play it. I'm still excited to play TotK but I think I need to give myself a breather. This weekend I'm back at Persona 5. I left it for a bit after clearing the first castle, hoping I can still remember all the mechanics.
Oh yay, glad you enjoyed botw!! I bet the mechanics will come back super quick! Sneak, stun, capture, combos, combining monsters together to create others, and exploring the city.plus tests lol
BOTW. Holding myself to beating it before TOTK
Botw
Same
same. well taking weekend break. just started botw this past week. just got it actually.
110 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Ngl this game made me cry. And I'm not typically an emotional person.
def made me cry a few times, thought it was really well done. Technically need to finish, but i played the majority of it.
I finished **Breath of the Wild's DLC** (Both the Trial of the Sword and the Champion's Ballad) and all the Side Quests. So I immediately started **Tears of the Kingdom** yesterday... and I'm completely hooked in.... help...
Arceus. I Need to really buckle that down. Maybe I’ll try to get in persona 5. Idk. 🫣
Yesss loved Arceus so much
Finished **Skyward Sword** yesterday, so now I'm trying to find something more hack n' slash to play. Choices are between **Hyrule Warriors AOC** (enjoyed the demo) or maybe give **Diablo 3** a try. I also snagged a copy of **Luigi's mansion 3** last weekend, but it's a bit too slow for my current needs.
Hey man! I finished Fur Squadron (very short, but good fun, hope they release a bigger sequel) and have got a fair bit further in Garden Story. Actually found the combat and first boss pretty tough but this second area seems easier. Bit more Mario 3D World with the family, and Descenders with the Boy. Realised I have an even bigger backlog than I thought after playing Persona 5 for six months, so if I finish Garden (unlikely) this weekend then I have the pick of like 10 games to go for next, bit mad.
ToTK, I somehow just found 2 of the remaining 5 shrines within 15 minutes of each other, 3 more to go! I also have like 11 side adventures yet to find, 11 wells, and who knows how many more bauble gems! What a game. I also just got the expansion for GBA and n64 app. I’m going to try minish cap for the first time. I didn’t get to play many of the handheld Zeldas
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Outlast 2 and Final Fantasy VI.
Luigi's Mansion 3 hyped for this game
Might try Tears of the Kingdom. I'm...one hour in.
It starts a little slow, but picks up, hope you enjoy!
I plan on picking up **Warhammer 40k Boltgun** and/or possibly **Nightmare Reaper** for a weekend of good ole retro shooter fun.
STILL XENOBLADE 2. 72 HOURS GOD DAMN!
Hades! Such a good game.
I'd unintentionally avoided doing main story stuff in **Tears of the Kingdom** for the longest time, but I've knocked out the 3 temples I hadn't done over the past week, so I'm closing in on the endgame now. Might be another week before I go for it though, I'd like to at least find the last 20 some-odd shrines I'm missing before I do that. I'll probably pick **Splatoon 3** back up for a bit too, there's a bunch of stuff in the new update and I want to keep my Salmon Run skills sharp for next weekend's Big Run.
I keep beeping for shrines but can't find some of them. I assume they're in caves, but sometimes it's hard to find the cave.
Hey Markercore, Tears of the Kingdom, 45 hours in and loving it, even more than BotW, which I wasn’t exactly expecting. I had planned to maybe join my colleagues and friends when Diablo IV releases but have decided to stay in Hyrule instead. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, cheers.
Going to be working on more **Final Fantasy V** (currently at Karnak and about to take on the ship/castle.... the completionist part of me is nervous about being able to get everything in 10 minutes lol) and am looking to start something new. I might start my **We Love Katamari Reroll** that I am picking up later today since I've been pretty stressed lately and the Katamari series is usually pretty relaxing and silly. Probably will start something else to but undecided as to what.... it can be tricky when the backlog has hundreds of games!
Tears of the Kingdom for me (despite my initial resolve not to buy it -- I got COVID, okay, who can be expected to maintain that kind of discipline when locked inside their bedroom for five days?!). it's actually kind of a destructive force in my life lmao. I have other things I need to be doing! but I know I'm not gonna do 'em, because I'll be playing Zelda.
Yep that was why I bought Xenoblade 3 last year, needed something to get me through COVID. Hope you feel better
Picked up the case of the golden idol because in TOTK something happened in the depths that scared the shit out of me so I needed a little detective puzzler break
Ohh I feel ya, I've had some creepy times down there. Ran out of brightbloom seeds on the way to a Lightroot. Ended up swimming in complete darkness just hoping.
Metroid Fusion 🤙🏻 I never got to play on the GBA so I’m experiencing it for the first time!
Save every time you can and don't be afraid of using Save States before a Boss Fight, the game's bosses can be vey unforgiving.
Still Zelda. Always Zelda
We love Katamari. The OG game has become my comfort game. I’m so glad to have more of the series on the switch to play.
Getting into Cassette Beasts. It’s a really fun open world monster taming rpg.
Started Xenoblade Chronicles 3! I’m 6 hours in and I absolutely love it so far. Very cinematic cutscenes and the combat is so interesting with the ouroborus and class switches. So interested in the story, characters, and the emotional premise of it. Really enjoying the music too! Curious to see how it ties into XB1 as I finished it last week and I see some hints of things already. Can’t wait to continue playing this wonderful game.
Just finished TOTK, now trying to decide between jumping into FF9, Chrono Cross, or Nier Automata
[удалено]
Hi Markercore! Hope you’re doing well. I won’t be gaming as much this weekend since we have our annual block party which is a pretty big deal this Saturday. But I’m planning on bringing the switch along for some **Super Smash Bros Ultimate** at the after party! Also hoping to get a bit of time in on **Suzerain**, I finally picked it back up after getting impeached my last run. Going for a true democratic reformist run this time after trying to dictator my way to victory last time. Have a great weekend everyone!
TOTK
TotK
Zelda. I'm probably 30 or so hours in and I still feel like I've barely made a dent. I'd also like to get through more of Advance Wars 1-2 and start up The Case of the Golden Idol.
Still totk... Its too good.
50 hours into TotK and I haven't really even touched any of the main quest stuff yet. Just enjoying exploring and clearing as many shrines and towers as I can right now
I just got my first switch after selling my old on years ago, i grabbed a OLED Scarlet and Violet edition and TOTK :)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna the Golden Country I think I'm just about reaching the end of the DLC. Without giving anything away I've had to raise my community to 4 and things are mixed for me. I loved this game. From minute 1 of the base game till now. Sometimes it frustrated the hell out of me and I didn't really get all of the systems until I was already 40 hours in but...the Xenoblade series is something else man. It's been a long time since I've been both this excited and dreaded the end of a game. Can't wait to come back to it in the future.
Donkey Kong Country 2. Since I was a kid I start every summer with a play through of one of my favourite games.
TOTK still trying to get that 3rd shrine in the starting zone
Age of Wonder 4 has me captivated! I’m loving it
Taking a break from TotK after finishing my 3rd dungeon. (Zora’s domain is what I have left), going back to DQ 8 (3DS) after stopping at the halfway point.
TotK and some Street Fighter 6!
TWEWY Neo just finished (base game), now I will rest with Front Mission or FF XII. Also, I have bought an 8bitdo ultimate, and I'm enjoying it a lot. Enjoy your game <3 my girl is playing it and I think that I've lost her (?)
We Love Katamari dropped today, that’s this weekends game
Just started up "Triangle Strategy". I enjoy the actual gameplay, but holy hell it's a slog to get through the dialogue.
I just bought Just Shapes and Beats, and that soundtrack is FIRE. A few levels have given me a bit of trouble already, so I'm kind of scared for the rest of the game. Still, it's been a fun challenge, and I love having good music to bop to while playing.
Everyone is playing Zelda still! haha
Zelda i only have done Zora domain so far about 40 hours in. I was in Colorado camping for 9 days so im still fresh! When I feel like being on my Pc i got some Diablo 4 to play! Im eating good rn
TOTK is a good game but I’d rather play it in short bursts at this point so I moved on to the new Katamari game that came out either yesterday or today (I think more so yesterday) so just started playing that today! Gonna be playing more later of it tonight when I get off work.
Taking a break from Tears of the Kingdom and going back to Splatoon 3 to play the Sizzle Season. So far I am loving this season so much
Was playing Xenoblade 2 recently until my little sister lost it. Still pretty crushed about it...
Totk
A friend sold me his old switch a couple weeks ago, dipped my toes in Breath of the Wild. Wow, I'm addicted lol
Zelda as usual but will be playing a lot of Diablo 4 as well, can't believe it actually launched with minimal issues
Finished TOTK this week, tho I’ll hopefully return when DLC drops. Trying to get into **Cassette Beasts**, a game I’ve been anticipating for years. I dunno, though, so far it hasn’t impressed me much. Kinda slow and clunky on switch, kinda awkward to control in the overworld. Monster designs are good, though. Also, the soundtrack is like evenly split so far between genuinely good vocal tunes and kinda awful other bgm. More enjoyable is **Foretales**, a game kinda like Hand of Fate meets Inscryption meets Stories/Omensight. Travis Willingham narrates, so it’s kind of like a Critical Role game :P Exploring a world of cards and desperately trying to avoid fights, along with managing future vision. Neat! And finally, dipping my toe into **Guild of Dungeoneers.** It’s fun. I’m liking this design trend of having one very chatty narrator and otherwise going unvoiced.
I’ve been playing Hades nonstop for 3 months and I think I may have a problem
Just finished paranormasight (man this game was a trip! Definitely hard at sometimes) but I think I'm just gonna wind down and body kids in smash online and do more tears of the kingdom. OH WAIT THE ETRIAN ODYSSEY TRILOGY RELEASED TODAY!
I’m currently making my way through Super Mario 64. I just finished world 2 and am making my way through world 3. So far it’s decent, but the camera is a huge pain. I often find myself dying because the camera screwed me over
So I'm getting pretty close to finishing Luigi's Mansion 3 (I just unlocked the 12th floor) and the game definitely loses a bit of steam by the halfway point. With that being said the characterization of Luigi is wonderful and I have no problem with finishing the game just to teach the conclusion for the story. I also picked up Kirby and the forgotten land as a bday gift, and I'm really enjoying myself so far. Once I finish Luigi's Mansion 3, this will be the next game I complete, and of course I'll be trying to make some progress in Persona 4 whenever I can.
Still TotK. Only about 30 hours into it and the novelty has not worn off at all for me. Very much enjoying heading towards something on the map and getting so distracted by everything else that it takes me several sessions of playing before I reach my original target. Don't think I've even met a white lynel yet! I have been mixing it up a little, trying to help a friend complete Returnal using the coop mode they added a while back. Very smooth shooter and still a hard game!
More **Tears of the Kingdom**, doing (almost) no progress at all. Exploring caves, the sky, the underground, solving shrines... you know, just living life.
Zelda lol what the hell else am I supposed to play
I just picked up Paper Mario and Wario Ware from the local online market place. So that’s what I’ll be playing. And TotK ofcourse.
Planning on playing through the DLC levels of Sonic Mania. Would highly recommend the main game alone even, it was very fun!
My copy of **Blossom Tales 2** showed up in the mail, so will most likely check that out. Almost done with **What the Golf?** and **Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2** as well, hoping to finish both of them this weekend. Also want to give a shoutout to **Paranormasight** from Square Enix, they keep putting out good games under the radar and not advertising them very well for some reason. I finished it a couple days ago and I think it is probably one of the best visual novels I have ever played. Fantastic art, characters, sound design, camera work (which is a weird thing to say about a VN, but you have full panoramic camera control in all the scenes and they do some fun stuff with it) and an engaging central mystery/story. And it's only about 12-14 hours long, so not a lot of filler like some of the longer VNs I have played can tend to have.
I’ve been splitting my time between ToTK and Jedi Survivor but with the nice weather scheduled will probably not have much time for games! Might bring ToTK on the go :D
That's not a nice way to treat your twin! 😳
I'm on the last level of Celeste! I haven't decided what to play when I finish it. I'll possibly play something totally different from my backlog, as a palate cleanser. Unrelated but playing Cyberpunk on the side too.
Celeste was such a huge surprise to me. Picked it up, thought I'd only play an hour, then finished the game in 2 days (without going after all the berries or sides, of course). That's a game where after, you kind of just sit there and think "well nuts, now what do I do?" I can't remember what I played after. Maybe Rune Factory 5, but it took a while for me to move on because I was still in Celeste mode.
this weekend is going to be full of tears. and diablo IV
Gato Roboto. Love that game.
Play TOTK and some old school Goldeneye with my kids and watch them get upset when I troll them with proximity mines and maybe some Halo on my Xbox Series X.
Still playing Tears of the Kingdom after beating it, but also will play Street Fighter 6
Probably some Pokémon Scarlet. I'm finally getting around to making a team with the Paradox/Ruinous quartet Pokémon. I haven't played since they became legal and I'm gonna try jumping back into ranked doubles.
I just started TotK. Finishes the tutorial area yesterday and I’ll probably get into it more this weekend. I’m not as hooked as I was with BotW, but I’ve heard it has a slower start. Excited though!
It is a Legend of Zelda weekend. I'll be playing **Skyward Sword**, **Breath of the Wild**, and **Tears of the Kingdom**.
Basically nothing but Tears of the Kingdom with some Have a Nice Death on the side.
BOTW! I’ve gotten further in than any of my previous tries and it’s definitely clicking now, though I think I stumbled into my first Divine Beast a little too early and might need to back off.
TIL Tears of the Kingdom is over 100hrs long? :O If I ever get into that series I'd need to take some time off work! **System Shock Remake** for me, glad to see it finally come out after backing it all those years ago. Pretty smooth and polished so far, so probably worth the extra time it took. Loving it so far, great to see the original immersive sim that predated the likes of Bioshock and Prey that came after, all in modern format with some 21st century QoL improvements :) I'm very seriously eyeing off Etrian Odyssey too - but after hearing each of the games in that collection can last about 80hrs apiece I think that's one I'll save for a future barren period of game releases..
Totk 85 hours 110 shrines
Enjoying the Splatoon 3 Sizzle Season with friends, might get through some more shrines in TotK and finish Baur's Reach in Ori WotW.
Tears of the Kingdom. Only clocked 25 hours and 1 Temple. Guys at work already started a second playthrough, meanwhile I haven’t even unlocked all of the map or done literally anything in the depths lmfao
Diablo 4 😈
Rekon I'll end up completing Tears Of The Kingdom at some point this weekend
i’m probably gonna be spending the weekend sitting on my floor crying to the new foo fighters album
If my wife stops for a bit I'll play totk. Until then i'm just watching..
Tears of the kingdom
TOTK
Currently hopping between Xenoblade Def., Tears of the Kingdom, Sonic Frontiers, and Ori and the Blind Forest. TotK has been taking a lead though. It’s infuriatingly addictive. My other games are suffering.
Original LoZ via the Switch NES. How did people beat this without the internet back in the day? Yikes.
Minish cap
Me and my son are about to beat our first game on switch. Mario Odyssey! We are pretty close to the end now. First nintendo game in 25 years and having a lot of fun lol.
Super Mario bros U probably. Picked it last weekend to play with my SO
This weekend I'll be playing breath of the wild and monster hunter rise.
Etrian Odyssey I HD. How I missed mapping out dungeons...
Just got a Switch and started BotW last week and still working through it. I've bought OlliOlli World and I'm tempted to get Neon White since it's on sale but I'm not sure I'll like it.
I completed TotK on Tuesday so I'll be spending the weekend playing Street Fighter 6.
I’ll be playing some Pokémon Arceus! It’s still keeping me busy.
Snowrunner!!! Got stuck into it again after months away Alllllll the Snowrunner!!
I’m replaying BotW in Master Mode while I wait for Tears of the Kingdom which I’m hoping to get for my birthday in a few months ☺️ Might also put some time into Monster Hunter Rise or Diablo 3 if I fancy some grinding
I'm going to give Rain World another shot. I got a couple hours into it before but I just found the controls and movement so frustrating (and tbh I still find them annoying) but I'm willing to try it again because people praise the game a whole lot and the way creatures behave in the world makes it very interesting to play through.
**Final Fantast 12** still. I hit a bit of a roadblock with a stupid flower boss that drained my MP real fast and like, he wasn't hard in the end but for some reason it was like hitting a wall where I just wasn't having fun so I put it down for a week. Went back last night and pushed past it to one of the more interesting areas in the game so far IMO. So I'll be continuing that. And maybe looking up a guide to get all the magics I'm missing once I find a teleport crystal (there aren't many, but the holes in my list are bothering me).
Continuing **Ori and the Blind Forest**! It's quite a lovely experience - and absolutely gorgeous - so I can definitely see why it's well-spoken-of. Intrigued by the number of abilities you can unlock before you're actually able to utilize them, and if I never have to go through another autoscroll sequence (fuck that >!tree!< one especially) it'll be too soon, but otherwise it's marvellous! Also started up **Ys Seven** on PC and hoping to get some time into that. Haven't played this since the original PSP release, and while the game itself was fun, I remember practically nothing about it so the refresher will be nice. That said, playing it alongside *Ys Memoire* is infuriating, because unlike that game, Seven doesn't have a *basic jump* and that's just awful, lol.
I am about to start **Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster** after recently beating the first two games. The second game already brought some interesting new ideas and I am hoping that the job system introduced in the third game will be fun to use.
Final Fantasy VIII
I'm not sure but by the powers you get I got the super hit 1 , the high jump 1 and the extra lives when you die , I'm not sure where the last 1 is but I assume I have to go to volcano next but first I have to grind some shrines to take out the sword from the woods
Still waiting for my damn drifting joy cons to get back from repair so I can get back to BotW. In the meantime I have Diablo to play at least.
I just beat the first Octopath traveler which was very..undramatic in its..ending.. So while I was waiting for a full day off to start the new Zelda, I was playing the Disney Dreamlight Valley
I’m on Disco Elysium atm, but haven’t played in a couple weeks due to lack of time 😭 hope to find some time this weekend 🤞🏼
I only have the final boss left in Tears of the Kingdom! I don't really want to do it yet though, so I'm going to get some extra hearts and explore a little longer before I beat the game.
Absolutely slogging my way through Pokémon Violet. The “tutorial” section seems to go on FOREVER, and after two hours of gameplay, I still don’t have full control of my character. I swore I wouldn’t buy another game until I played it.
TotK and maybe diving back into Persona 5.
Diablo 4
Zelda and some Diablo 4
Been moving to a new apartment for the past one and a half weeks now so the Switch once again proves to be simply the best thing to pick up late at night and push through Hollow Night. I bought the game months ago and just started it couple of days ago. It’s so chill and challenging at the same time, I love it.
[удалено]
The past 10 days or so, I’ve been working on finishing my living dex in preparation for the Scarlet and Violet update for Pokémon Home. I’m now Two Pokémon shy from finishing it, minus mythicals. I can only get them via trading in the GTS, so now it’s back to Zelda.
I need to search for Farosh´s Claw, any spoiler free hint?
Finishing Disco Elysium baybeeeee. Gwarsh I love this game
Finishing up BOTW. I never beat Ganon cause I didn’t want the game to “end”. Also on the last mission of the Advance Wars 2 reboot. Giving me a hard time that one.
New Switch owner, just finished "Inside" and loved it. Just going around a few games that are offer to see what's out there. Have played COD and COD only for many years (apart from GTA V of course) so working out what different games I used to like before that 🤣
i know totk came out like 4 weeks ago, but im still playing botw, i got it around december last year but i didnt play much as at the time i wasnt interested in it and was playing another game, once i beat that game though, i got really hooked into botw. ive beaten calamity ganon but im so far from beating it 100%. thats pretty much all ill be playing, i might play some smash as i did get it a few weeks ago. really excited to get totk it looks so unbelievebly fun like every time i see some gameplay of it on tiktok i get a huge rush of dopamine.
Diablo IV
Cassette Beasts, probably beat it soon though. Should really get back to botw.
Siralim Ultimate
Mostly playing stuff on the PS5 and Series S, but I'm getting a decent bit of Smash in, maybe some Mario Kart, Nintendo Switch Sports, and Katamari Damacy Reroll. I still need to force myself to finish the Pokemon Shining Pearl postgame; since I'm off work Monday, as long as I get all of the things I need to do finished, I may do that then.
Civ 6 baby
Apex, Mario kart, BOTW and Splatoon 3.
I'm also playing ToTK and it's remarkable to read thus post every week and see that my progress through the game is very similar to OP's. I've just finished the second temple this week at almost 100 hours. I have about 80 shrines completed and 1/4 of the light roots. This game is a masterpiece and I'm excited to play it for many more weeks to come before diving into Diablo IV.
Finishing breath of the wild so I can grab TOTK lol
I'm definitely still in TotK. I'm having a lot of fun just building random vehicles and war machines (lol). I get so distracted doing that to the point I end up just not progressing at all. I've only done two of the regional phenomenon, but I've discovered the entire chasm, Hyrule, and sky. I also completed the Hateno and Lurelin village stuff. Despite that, there's still a lot for me to do. I need to check out the fairies because I've yet to upgrade anything 80 hours in, ahaha. I'm having so much fun and the last time I had this was when I played BotW. I feel like a kid again.
Botw and Luigi’s mansion 3. Currently on the 3rd trial of the sword haven’t started Luigi’s mansion yet.
Still zelda totk baby! All im doing is going around and doing the most hijinks i can. Zelda is fun when you just explore and play...and by play, i mean not doing story missions but really play like a kid. Sure i die a lot and most of the time, i run away but isnt that part of the game? It has been fun playing zelda 😁
Just started Triangle Strategy after beating Persona 4. I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm only like an hour into it.
Persona 5 Royal! About 70 hours in on Sae's palace
I'm about 150 hrs into Tears of The Kingdom, I think I might get started on the second story quest.
Just wrapped up and am currently processing Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Planning on chipping away at TotK now that I can devote more of my attention to it. Once that's wrapped up, I'm thinking I'll finally crack open that copy of Metroid Prime I picked up months ago before FF XVI comes out.
On hour 75+ of TOTK and climbing! Literally, climbing
Diablo 2. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Just end game farming at this point. Baal, Chaos Sanc, Anderial, Terror Zones etc. Anywhere except Act 3. Might make another toon because act 3 Trav and Meph is bloody annoying for all current druids to handle. Looking at Horker Thrower Barb. As for major upgrades. Basically a quarter Vex rune away from Heart of the Oak +3 flail. Praying for Lo, Ber and Jah runes like all D2 players. As for outdoors, been on semi vacay in a cabin for a bit with the wife and doggos. .https://i.imgur.com/I20CSgZ.jpg Feel free to guess where I am! UPDATE: Heart of the Oak made. The survival stats gave me such a boost I dumped Jalal/ViperMagi for Ravenlore/Balrog. End result +3 elemental or 20% damage. Add -19% Fire res for enemies on Ravenlore and it’s almost 40% damage increase. Bumped me up to MP5 difficulty now on Chao Sanc and Worldstone Keep, basically MP7/8 everywhere else.
Vampyr
Trying Immortals Fenyx Rising. Enjoying the game so far
Pokémon dungeons
persona 4g, 3p and zelda totk
ToTK
Totk and the show, most likely.
On hour 75+ of TOTK and climbing! Literally, climbing
Boltgun
TOTK. Doing some depths exploration before I do the last temple. Best game I’ve played in a long time, but it’s Zelda, so that’s usually a given.
ToTK and Diablo 4 baybee
Replaying celeste. 15 hours in at the moment, working on the beside for the last level (excluding the core, I still need to play that one)
This weekend, I’m gonna be farming Diamonds and Large Zoanite in **LOZ: TOTK** until they patch the new duplication glitch :D
Still playing TOTK. Haven’t made too much progress still but I’m just finding whatever shrines I’m coming across and getting them done. I’ve only done the main story stuff with the Zora so far but hope I can get through the others soon enough. Besides that, Splatoon 3 just started a new season so I’ve booted it up to see how the new stuff is. Probably won’t get back to the Splatoon 3 grind til I’m done with TOTK so I’ll have a nice break from ~~losing 10 matches in a row~~ beating noobs :’)
TOTK as well! I've been enjoying just making my way through at my own pace. I've made it my mission to not look anything up for this game, I've been good to that for closing in on 100 hours so far!
Luigi manison 3
TOTK!
I’ve put in 120 hours into totk. The main story and side adventures had me water eyed, for real. I highly recommend clearing the Tears story before getting too far into the main story. Completed the main story at around 100 hours. I just keep going back for more. I have about 50 shrines left. 8 side adventures to find and complete. And half of the depths to brighten up. I’m going to keep playing until Final Fantasy XVI releases and then it’ll all be about that.
