Hello Everyone!
It’s time for this week’s, “What are you playing” thread.
I wasn’t able to give as much time to gaming as I thought, who knew running a community can take so much time. Even when all members are so great, and I don’t have to moderate anything.
I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.
Other than that, me and wife just got NSO Expansion pass, and started the Happy Home Paradise DLC, while resuming our Animal Crossing play-through. Just cleaning the long neglected island, and helping Harv build the shops.
What about all of you? What are you playing?
I never got around to playing Breath of the Wild so the release of ToTK felt like a great time to finally give it a try! Still working my way through veeeery slowly, just about to take on my second divine beast.
Heh, I do that too. With so many games to play, many times I only end up playing the game when it’s sequel is announced or released.
BOTW is a great game, no need to rush through for TOTK, it’s not going anywhere. Just play at your own pace and enjoy the game.
FF Thearythm & Zelda TOTK on Switch, Baten Kaitos on GC, and Mario & Luigi Superstar saga on GBA (only short games of course :p). Oh and I am also playing Pokemon Stadium 2 on N64 😅.
Jokes aside, I started too many games this time, I am not generally this busy ^^.

Heh, I have sometimes done the same thing, but when I do that, I end up not finishing any of them. So, now I prefer to start only one big game.
As I mentioned in the post, I just got NSO Expansion pack, so going to try all of these, but one-by-one, not all at once 😀
Any games that you specially recommend?
BTW sorry about those test replies, I just couldn’t reply to your message (or anyone’s from kbin.social, finally figured out, have to select English as the language, or it won’t post)
Almost at the end of the vanilla portion of my 100-hour journey through Persona 5 Royal. That’ll leave just the extra semester/true ending left to play before I can finally move on to Tears of the Kingdom, lol. I tend not to play more than one game at a time, especially not really big games like P5R or TotK. Each deserves my full attention or I’d never finish them.
Are you planning to Play Persona 5 Strikers and / or just announced Persona 5 Tactica?
I am right there with you with not playing more than one big game. They do deserve the full attention.
Not Strikers, I have enough musou-style games and I don’t need another one. I haven’t seen Tactica’s trailer yet, but if it’s a strategy RPG like Fire Emblem or Triangle Strategy I’ll probably get it since that’s my favorite genre.
Tactica looks like a tactical game like FE or Triangle Strategy, with chibbi-ish characters. Would like to hear your opinions when you finally see it.
I’m getting ready for a local Splatoon 3 tournament in Philly this weekend, put together a quick pickup team for it. Also slowly working through Persona 5 Royal, just finished the third palace.

I’m playing Octopath Traveller 2! Just grinding at this point before I start the ending :)
Octopath Traveller is pretty high on my list. I never got around to playing the first one, so want to play it soon, so that I can get ready to play Octopath Traveller 2 in a few months.
I’ve been splitting my time mostly between ToTK and Metroid Prime Remaster, feels like a pretty good combo to break things up between. Just finally picked up It Takes Two, so I’ll probably see if the wife wants to game with me a bit tonight or tomorrow after she’s home from work.
still tears of the kingdom. before that was a long dry spell for the switch because of the steam deck I got
TOTK still, because once Pikmin 4 comes out I will switch to that
still haven’t even beat a single ‘regional phenomena’ yet… can’t stop myself from randomly exploring, which is honestly my favorite part of botw/totk anyway
@lackthought @slimerancher I did rito village
I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.
This is me right now. I owe myself do some exploring of the depths and sky islands. Having played BOTW the surface is so familiar that I kinda went quickly around it and probably advanced way too quickly on the main quests. It’s time for me to slow down and do the exploration.
I played BOTW at launch, so while I do recognize few places here and there, for me most of the land mass is new, and with the different abilities, and all the caves and wells, there is so much to explore.
Sky islands I have explored least of, and need to focus more on. Specially because there are some things you can only get on Sky islands. 😀
Yes, of course. I need to explore more caves and wells too. And even familiar places have changed. But I feel like I went too fast because, despite the changes, it’s still very familiar. It took me no effort to get to the main villages, because I kinda knew how to get there. It felt familiar yet new.
But that familiarity kept me from exploring the new places -and the dangerous places in the surface too-. I want to focus on that now. It’s gonna be fun.
I guess sometimes having a bad memory is also a benefit 😀
Monster hunter rise was on sale so I might give it try I loved the previous game in the series. I also need to “finish” kenshi at some point
How do you play Monster Hunter? Single player or with friends?
I have been thinking about trying Monster Hunter World with some friends, if there are enough of use who are willing to play it.
Octopath Traveler 2! Just starting
I still really want to pick that one up! I’ve been saving the demo for when I feel like I have enough time to really sink my teeth into it so I can get a jump on the story. Maybe next time it goes on sale if I feel like I’ve finished enough side quests in Zelda.
Did you play the first? It was awesome!
Probably some D4 and street fighter 6. Picked up Steins gate elite on sale though so might start that.
Diablo IV and Street Fighter 6 are both great choices.
Still have the Trial of the Sword quest from BOTW to finish before going to kick sludge Ganon’s ass.
Finally I managed to play and not lose interest, which is great, because I was mega hyped when it was announced.
And it is an amazin game (even if I still love A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess better)Are you planning to give tears of a kingdom a shot? I personally loved it as well
I’ll probably be playing TotK until Starfield comes out. Though playing TotK makes me want to play other Zelda games so I might try to squeeze in WW or TP.
I am still working my way through Tears of the Kingdom. I tend to lose steam on open world games and never end up finishing them. So far I am still motivated to finish this one.
