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?
My four year old is getting Super Mario Bros Wonder for Christmas and I’m so excited. I had her play the demo at Target a few weeks ago and she really liked it and played it surprisingly well. She insisted on going back a few times. I’ll have to remember to film her opening it in case we get a Nintendo SIXTY FOUUUR!! reaction.
Wonderful!
That’s awesome :) What was her reaction?
Nothing very dramatic. She’s pretty happy to have the game at home now. My brother got her the Lego Super Mario starter set with Peach and that was a bigger hit than the game.
Bought Tears day one. Been busy all year. Finally unwrapped the plastic seal this morning. I’ve avoided all spoilers so far. And the opening cutscene tells me I’m in for a heck of a time.
You’re in for an adventure! I got it day one too, and decided to stop playing at 100 hours since it was taking most of my free time 😅 I’ll get back to it and finish it at some point, I think I’m not even halfway through the main quest.
I completed the game at around 100 hours, but my total completion is at 46%. I may get back to it someday, but there is so much to play…
I know I’ll get back to it soon. I can’t believe how long it’s been since the game’s out! Hopefully the Switch will give us a break for a few months so I can catch up with everything I want to play… But then again, there’s usually a Direct in February 😅
I have such a huge backlog, I don’t even know what to wish for in the direct… Maybe Switch 2?
Switch 2 is my hope. I don’t think there can be that many big games coming out for the Switch, I’d guess -if any- more remakes.
Yeah, but I meant, I have such huge backlog, even with Switch 2, I am not sure which game to wish for 😀 e.g. Metroid Prime 4, I want to play Metroid Prime 1-3 before I play 4, so while it would be nice to finally have some news about it, I don’t care about it too much.
That is why if you have seen this week’s thread, I am planning to ignore newer games for a while and take care of the older games in my list.
Yeah, I’m kind of the same just now. It’d be really nice to see anything from Metroid Prime 4! But I assume it’ll be on the next console.
Was on a Don’t Starve kick, but thinking about doing some Stardew Valley because it’s such a cozy game
@slimerancher@lemmy.world I’m officially endorsing this one and pinning it.
Official Thanks!
Wrapping up everything that is left to do on my first run through Xenoblade 3. All unique monsters get. All but one colony max affinity get. All X gems get. Not maxing out hero levels.
Then post-game stuff and start future redeemed DLC.
Oooh nice! Getting max affinity in some of the colonies can take some effort.
Backpack Hero still draws me in! The performance of the game could use to be better in town, but otherwise I’m addicted.
Are you still enjoying it? The game looks interesting.
Yes and no. The game is definitely my kind of game. The loops are nice, the way in which you arrange your bag as you go for maximum benefit is nice. What’s not so nice is that the village you come back to after each run, one that you are upgrading and building up in a customized manner, is somehow bugged. I’ve lost progress after going on runs. Layouts and upgrades revert back to the same state now. I confirmed this a few times and then decides to set it down for now. A real shame. I got 85 hours out of the game. So I certainly enjoyed it!
Just looked it up, the issue is on PC version too, hope they release a fix soon.
Thanks for the thread! Much appreciated!
I dropped Nioh, the game became too repetitive for me. I was in 4th region (not counting tutorial one), there are 6 total. If you don’t mind that, combat is pretty good and the game is fun. I guess if I was playing more than 3-4 hours a week, I wouldn’t have gotten tired of it and may have finished it.
Started Sniper Elite 4, I am not much of a stealth fan, so just killing everything that moves and loving it, specially when killing them from far.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 is still going on, though didn’t play it much over the holidays. Will get back to it soon.
