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 guess there is no point in asking if you liked Legends Arceus, but how do you compare it with Scarlet and Violet?

Also, why Etrian Odyssey three? Why not 1 and 2?

Haha!

So, I love Scarlet and Violet as well, for different reasons. PLA was an excellent story. It felt very complete in terms of what it was. Meanwhile, I'm basically foaming at the mouth over the DLC for S/V. One feels like watching a really good movie and the other feels like watching a really great series, if that makes sense?

As for EO3. It's purely by happenstance. My husband was playing it and I decided to pick it up. :)

Heh, good for you!

I have only played Let's Go Pikachu, and then Sword/Shield. While I enjoyed them both, it didn't make me excited to try PLA or S/V, so skipped them both. I may give the next one they release, a try, but not sure yet. Will decide when they announce it.

I can relate. I don't enjoy every Zelda game or every Final Fantasy game and will skip multiple in a row. The earlier Pokemon games also don't hold my attention very well. My interest was someone piqued by Gen 5 (good story) and I've really enjoyed gens 8 and 9.

I am very curious about what the next gen will bring. I'm eyeing that Persona 5 spin-off too, but it's a series I haven't actually played before, despite its popularity.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there are genres and series we love, and will play every game in it, and then there are games we don't care about that much...

If you are interested in Persona, just start with Persona 5 Royal, it's same as Persona 5 but with improvements, and one more semester at the end. But all the spin-offs are different genre, so just because you like the base game doesn't mean you will like the spin-off or vice versa.
