What are you playing this weekend? 2023-07-15 - eviltoast

Hello Everyone!

I finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Took about 90 hours, and still have a lot left to do, but wanted to find out the full story, so finished the main quest. I liked the story a lot more than BotW. If you have already finished it, what did you think about the story? (without giving away any spoilers). Going to keep playing this as my primary game for a while though, while also thinking about which game to start next.

Secondary games:

  • Finished Marvel’s Avengers. Nothing new to say about it. It could’ve been a very good game, if not for Live Service elements.
  • Almost finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. I am at stage 14, so just couple of them left. Will check the trophies after finishing the game and see if I want to platinum it. Only playing it with my kid, so going a bit slowly.
  • Started The Order 1886, it’s a very small games, 4-5 hours at most, but didn’t get much time to play after starting it, would try to finish it. The games holds up really well visually and gameplay vise.
  • I have committed to Monster Hunter: World now. Going to finish it, no matter how long it takes. Until now, I was only playing it with friends, but would try to do some optional stuff solo too, now that TotK is finished.

That’s all for now. What about all of you? What are you playing? And what do you plan to play next? And how are you enjoying them?

    I am a massive Final Fantasy fanboy so, my totally unbiased opinion, it is a masterpiece. The story made me cry like 6 times. It’s excellent story telling. The game play is engaging. Not terribly challenging but it could be for folks less familiar with action games. There are ways to decrease the difficulty on a few different axis by equipping certain accessories. The side quests can be a little fetchy but I think even the worst ones add some depth to the world. There’s plenty of optional bosses too. It’s my personal game of the year although Tears of the Kingdom is probably more deserving overall for more broad appeal and polish.

    There are two versions of Runescape - old school and RuneScape 3. RS3 is the older of the two. It’s been the natural continuation of the game with a controversial overhaul of the combat system to make it more traditionally mmo adjacent. Old school started in 2013 from a back up copy of the game pre-2007 when the change occurred. Jagex now runs both simultaneously. Old school is the game you would remember if you played back in the day. It’s bigger than ever. At any given time there are well over 100k folks playing. Regular new content and updates. It’s amazing.

    I’ll probably start with FF1 and go from there. I’ve played them all before in other versions so I might as well go in order.

      my totally unbiased opinion

      Of course! And I expected nothing less from you!

      Glad that you liked it. From what I have seen and heard, it does seem to be a strong contender for GOTY.

      Ah, I just searched for Old School Runescape, and it’s exactly how I remember. Wow, so many people such an old game, and which looks like so ancient! It once again proves that graphics aren’t everything.

      Good luck with FF marathon. I haven’t played many of the classics, only FF7, and FF9. I may give the rest a try, just to see how they are.
