Hello Everyone!
(Post got too long, if you want to skip, game names are in bold, you can just read those)
June is ending, and July is starting. For the US folks, that means 4th of July is coming! Another day to just play games, without worrying about work or school!
I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kindgom, about 75 hours in and very near the end, will probably finish it soon. Would have to wait and see, if I lose interest in rest of the stuff after finishing the main story, or want to keep exploring and doing other stuff. Details next, move to next paragraph, if you want to skip. I have done the last regional quest, I originally wanted to go back to exploring after that, but after getting all Tears and completing all regional quest, I wanted to focus on story and see how it ends, so left everything and went to the Castle. Haven’t reached the final boss yet, but I think I am near the end now.
In non-Nintendo games, played a bit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge with my kid. We both had lots of fun with it, and going to continue playing it when we both have time. Only complaint I have is that 2nd player doesn’t earn any trophies, but that isn’t a big issue for me.
Also played a little of Monster Hunter: World, and I must say, Capcom, improve your multiplayer setup! It’s so confusing. Only the host can watch cut-scene, and you can’t play a mission whose cut-scene you haven’t watched. So, if 4 players are playing, they all have to start the story mission separately, then during the mission when you come across the monster first time, there’s a cut scene, after you have watched cut scene, all of you must abandon the quest and then one person can host the mission again and everyone else can join it. (Or all person except one can leave their mission and join that person’s mission mid-way). Took us more than an hour to figure all that out. Not counting that, the game is really fun, but still not sure if we are going to stick to it.
Other than that, Marvel’s Avengers is leaving PS+ Extra on 12 July. I usually don’t prioritize games based on when they are leaving, but the game is shutting down in September and I don’t want to spend money on it. So, even though I don’t want to start another game right now, I am going to give it a try. The campaign is only 12 or so hours, and I have heard it is fun enough. So, plan to start it too. Not sure if I’ll play the full campaign, but I want to give it a try.
So, what about all of you? What are you playing?
Edit: June doesn’t have 31 days! facepalm

I’ll be shooting bugs in mines with dwarves in Deep Rock Galactic. ROCK AND STONE!
Nice! I played a mission or two once, but didn’t enjoyed it much playing solo. I have heard it’s really fun playing with friends though. Maybe I should try to convince some friends to give it a try…
I’m 180 hours into ToTK and i’m still discovering new things on the map. I’m stoked that there’s still so much more to discover.
I’m also playing Dragon Quest XI and it’s really fun so far.
Yeah, the game is great in this regard. Yesterday in TotK Inventions post, saw someone mention that they have played over 200 hours, and haven’t come across “Construct Head” zonai device yet.
With lack of time to play games, I am starting to like linear games more, but I don’t feel any time passing when playing TotK. A truly marvelous game.
Still on TotK. 115 hours in. I’ve been at the last bit for a while, just going around and doing lightroots and shrines still. Lightroots are done, and about 20 shrines left.
I’m still considering if I want to do FF16 next. The demo had really bad motion blur and I kinda want to wait to see if they patch it before I spend money.
I still have plenty of other games in my backlog, so I don’t know that it’s a big loss if I wait. (Unless serious spoilers start getting out, which seems like it might be a problem with this one?)
Lightroots are easy to find if you have done enough shrines. I still have more than half of them remaining though.
I am a very patient gamer, generally speaking, most games I play years after release, and for some reason I have been pretty lucky with most spoilers, still haven’t played The Last of Us 2, and haven’t seen any spoilers yet. Final Fantasy XVI is on my must play list, but there are so many other games I still have to play, so probably won’t get around to play it before at least an year (well, a few years if I am completely honest).
Honestly, I found all the light roots even before I think I had even half the shrines. It was sort of my favorite part of the game for a bit. Just hop on an airbike and roam around looking for light, and stopping to look at interesting stuff I found on the way.
On the other hand, finding shrines tends to be either much, much easier (just look around after launching from a sky rower) or annoyingly harder (hidden in a cave). I guess that’s why I’m only just now finishing them. At this point, I’m just using an online map to help me do the last ones.
I haven’t made the hoverbike yet, maybe that’s why. I probably should make one now. And I agree, with how the map expands, finding a lightroot is much more rewarding than finding a Shrine.
Well, you probably found all the shrines that are

linked with the lightroot.
So, only the ones in some weird places or sky islands should be an issue now.
Yeah I was

using them as a guide and kept getting frustrated having to hunt around for a cave. Although, even more frustrating are the Proving Grounds. I still have one I haven’t done even though I know where it is.
I haven’t had much trouble with proving grounds yet, but then again, I have done much less shrines than you, so probably haven’t encountered the more annoying ones yet.
I agree with the finding them in cave thing.
spoiler
My locator+ was pinging me, I went in from one direction, came out from other, and couldn’t find the cave, just gave up on that shrine and moved on.
I find most of them fairly annoying, but a few are particularly bad. I’m not looking forward to the one I gave up on.
And yeah, some of the cave systems are confusing. It helps to go back and forth and make sure to look up. Sometimes there are extra little branches that are only visible in one direction.
Yeah, everyone plays differently and likes different things. Whenever I talk about TotK with my friend, we both have completely different observations, and get to learn new things from each other.
Thanks for the tip, will try that.
I got accepted into Division Heartland closed beta. Gonna be playing that.
Congratulations, where are you playing it? Is it PC only yet?
I have never played any of the Tom Clancy games (other than little bit of first Division, but gave up because of the grindy nature of the game), let us know how you are liking the game.
PC only, unfortunately the NDA forbids any public discussion on it.
As you talk about it ;) lmao. I am in it aswell though. I am disappointed in the game.
How they murdered one of my favorite game. They chose to just ignore those of us who liked the OG game, and used the brand to attract an entire different group of audience. Hoping for division 3.
It actually made me and my friend buy div 2 on PC as I never bought div 2 on PC before this. I am really hoping for a div 3 or another game like the div. With a dark zone area type with actually rpg elements and build crafting.
