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?

    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

    Probably some D4 and street fighter 6. Picked up Steins gate elite on sale though so might start that.

      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.

      How are you liking FE Engage? Most people I know prefer Three Houses over it, and didn’t like Engage much.

      Someone else also mentioned in the post that they are playing Engage, and I asked them how they are liking it, and going to ask you the questions.

      How are you liking FE Engage? Have you played Three Houses? Most people I know prefer Three Houses over it, and didn’t like Engage much.

    I finished Yoshi’s Crafted World, finally after like 3 years of owning it. So now I’ve decided “welp I guess it’s time to play Breath of the Wild”. Enjoying it so far, I do need to get to Kirby tho… which I was planning on doing once I finished Luigi’s Mansion 3, Paper Mario and Yoshi’s Crafted World, oh well.

    In non-Nintendo stuff, I’ve been playing Fallout 4 on PC because I’ve gotten that itch. I’ve only ever played in PS4, I think I got it on PC when it went on sale. It’s really weird playing it with a mouse and keyboard, but it’s a lot of fun building a new character and trying to figure out their personality… she feels like very sarcastic and mean but will soften up when you get to know her.

      Haha, I know that feeling. I have such a huge backlog of games. Still haven’t played Astral Chain or Super Mario Bros U Deluxe… so many games, and so little time.

      Which Monster Hunter are you playing? Rise? I may start World with some friends soon, not sure how much we will play.

    I’ve been attempting Etrian Odyssey III on the switch but the controller feels clunky for mapping and the game feels so much more challenging than I remember ~10 years ago? lol.

      I think we were used to playing difficult games back then, with all the improvements and changes in game design, the old games feel more difficult than they used to.

      Have you tried auto-mapping? Does that make game less clunky? Or does it reduces the enjoyment of the game?

        Thanks for the reminder about auto-mapping! I haven’t got to try it out. I feel like that will help, I loved mapping on the 3DS but I don’t think It’ll hinder my enjoyment on the switch.

    After a few months of moving about between hotels, I finally got everything all set up a my new place, so I’ve been enjoying some splatoon 3 again, along with legends arceus.
