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’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 playing Tears of the Kingdom! I’ve been playing it nearly every waking moment of free time since it came out and it still feels like there is so much left to explore. I’m at 3 sages and 80 shrines, so I know I’m roughly 75% done, but there are so many discoveries that I just keep tripping over constantly.
3 Sages and around 80 shrines, we are pretty much at the same place. I am hoping this isn’t a 75% story wise, hoping for more parts in the main quest after the sage quests.
I was planning on finishing BoTW so I can start play ToTK, but I literally just bought another voucher and I have no idea what new games to get with it (if any at all at the moment).
Gosh it’s overwhelming.
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.
Been replaying Sunshine and just started Wind Waker again. I’m really loving these older games. I wish I could appreciate them more in the past. Oh well, there’s always the future!
Finished ToTK and now exploring and doing side-quests. I have a rule of no fast travel and it’s so much fun
It’s taking me so long with fast travel. Without fast travel, I may never play another game. It does sound fun though. I did that in Skyrim (but not in my first play-through), and enjoyed it immensely.
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
still tears of the kingdom. before that was a long dry spell for the switch because of the steam deck I got
Switch is a great place for indies… but Steam is even better.
How is Steam Deck’s size, looks too big for longer sessions. Is it comfortable?
never had an issue with it. it’s ergonomically perfect for me and more comfortable than switch with original joycons. I do often play it docked though.
That’s nice. I haven’t actually held it, just thought it looked too big from online photos.
Good to know that it’s comfortable.
I still haven’t finished TotK and a couple of days ago I bought Octopath Traveler 1 & 2! It was a bit of an impulse buy but they were on sale and I’ve been eager to play them ever since I played the demo of the first one in 2018 I believe, I’m very excited!!
All great choices.
I have heard Octopath Traveler 2 improves on 1 in every way, so better to hold off on that until you have had your fill of 1.
I’m finally getting back to playing TOTK and my love for this game increases every single minute I spend in it.
I absolutely adore this game!
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.

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.
I’m playing Tears of The Kingdom of course. Side from that I’m feeling like playing Persona 4 Golden. My local weather an vibes feel kinda like this game right now, do maybe that will inspire me trip finish it.
Persona 4 Golden is a great game, how far along are you? Or going to start a new play-through?
I think I’m currently a little after Kanji’s Midnight Channel. I’ll continue from there.
Ah, good luck!
Oh yeah TLOZ:TOTK is my go to right now. I’m at the point where I can battle Mr demon king but been side questing and all that jazz now first. I wanna go in and just obliterate him, so I’m focusing on getting the rest of the shrines etc beforehand and collecting better armour blah blah blah
I hope the final fight is better than BOTW. Calamity Gannon was kind of anti-climatic boss. Fighting a group of Guardians was tougher than Gannon. 😀
Good luck clearing the game.
Disclaimer I also haven’t fought the final boss.
I wouldn’t count on the Demon King being a terrible difficult fight. You have to remember that it’s a storyline quest, so it has to be achievable by the least common denominator. If you really want a challenge, you should explore the depths under the southwest region of Hyrule Field ;)
You are right, it makes sense.
I actually don’t want a very tough fight either, I remember some older games where I wouldn’t have any trouble through out the game and then I would get stuck at the final boss. But they have conditioned me to not feel the game has ended until I go through a tough final boss.
I actually did explored those area, but I was mostly running away from things 😀
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.
Nice! Yeah the second one is way better imo – a lot of these games involves grinding and they introduced the ability to run combat at double speed. I can no longer play the first one because it feels so painfully slow to me 😅
That is why I want to play the first one first. I have heard the second one improves everything about the game, so going back to the first one will be really tough afterwards.
