Hello Everyone!

Let’s start a first ever, “What are you playing this weekend?”.

I am still completely enthralled by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I am about 50-60 hours in, and still have lots of explore. I don’t want to mention anything that might be a spoiler, but I think I should be around 60% done with the story. I am on media blackout about the game, so I don’t actually know how long it actually it is, but this is what it seems like. Of course, if I go by total amount of Shrines, or Koroks, I am probably just 10-20% of the total.

All my other games are on pause, probably not going to resume anything else until I have finished Zelda.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

    I’m still playing Breath of the Wild because I never finished it on Master Mode. I can’t believe I waited so long for the sequel, yet the release snuck up on me! In a way, it kind of prolongs the excitement. Thanks for holding back the spoilers!

    How are you liking Tears of the Kingdom in general? Better? The same? Complementary? From the trailers, I was worried it might become a bit gimmicky, but BOTW also adds a good level of trust for me.

    Besides that, I literally just finished my first real gaming PC build yesterday! I didn’t even have time to do install anything, so work today felt like I was a kid having to go to school on Christmas afternoon. I’ll soon install Star Wars Battlefront 2, one of the few games my non-gamer wife ever binged, that way we can play together.

      BotW felt like a road trip across the entire United States. TotK is like watching an epic movie while revisiting the best parts of the road trip experience without all the grind.

      One thing I wish I had been told/knew before playing TotK is to follow the main quest objectives as closely as possible from the start. Like you can go do your own thing, find a bunch of stuff, and the game will have built in responses to whatever you end up doing. However, you’ll miss out on a lot of elements and story complexity if you go this route. There are a lot more puzzles and fun stuff to navigate if you do them when prompted instead of finding them on your own.
