Highjacking the “what are you playing” thread tradition since it’s a busy time for most folks, hope it’s ok @slimerancher@lemmy.world 😬

What is everybody playing this (hopefully long) weekend? I keep playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I haven’t put many hours on it yet, but it’s been super fun all along. I also got the physical edition of Quake II from LRG recently, so I play some missions single player every now and then. On my DS I started Metroid: Samus Returns. I’ve been wanting to play some Metroid and I hadn’t played this one before. So far so good!

Probably some new Switch owners on Christmas day, hopefully that translates into welcoming new members to this community 🙌

What about youse? What have you been playing or are planning to play?

    I love Xenoblade series, though in the mainline games I would rate XC2 at 3rd, with XC1 at 2nd and XC3 at 1st.

      This is what my sister told me too. I’ve not played 3 yet, but I’ve heard it’s good. From the trailers it looks pretty different to the first two! Looking forward to that after I’ve finished 2, plus maybe its DLC if you’d recommend that?

        I haven’t played XC3’s DLC yet, but it’s very high on my list. It connects all three games together, and brings them to a close, so can’t wait to get my hands on it.

          Was meaning 2’s DLC actually! Because I never actually finished the main story I hadn’t got the DLC yet. Any good/necessary for getting the whole story?

            Ah, XC2: Torna! No, you can skip it if you are just interested in the main story, it’s a prequel story of some characters from XC2, some 500 years ago, but it’s a very good DLC, with many improvements over the base game.

            I would highly recommend to play it too, many people consider it better than XC2 main game.
