My brother got it free with his ps5

It's why we're playing the first game so he can finally play it

In retrospect he should have waited until the bundles with FFXVI in them but he saw it was on sale and bought it immediately because of how hard they were to get

Ragnarok is such an incredible game.
 
I normally don’t care about graphics quality in games most of the time. However, I played a free demo of Sonic Frontiers yesterday because I wanted to see what that game was about and, my god, it’s so bad. It honestly could be a GameCube game. I was shocked at how poor it looked for being on the most current system on Switch.
 
I started Tears of the Kingdom sometime in early June, and last month I finally beat the game 100%. All hidden/key items, all sub-bosses beat, all korok seeds, all hudson signs, all bubble gems, all locations scoured in sky, surface and depth. all of it. took me about 400 hours, but my god it felt longer than that. this game was good, but trying to beat it 100% really drains the fun out of it sometimes. the reason i wanted to beat it completely regardless was because i always wanted to go back to botw to do the same, but never did. so when this game was revealed, i decided to do everything else in the game before fighting the final boss, so as to not really have a reason to go back to it once i beat the main story.
at this point, i’m not gonna try to 100% games anymore, unless it’s something super short and/or something that i really loved. but, yea, totk still a great game for sure!

this is also why i’ve kinda been a bit mia in this thread for the most part.

right now, im taking a break from gaming after feeling burnout by 100% completion madness.

Did you get all Koroks, Bubbuls, etc without using a guide? I don’t think I’d ever want to do something that tedious but if I did I’d unapologetically use a guide or map. That’s impressive if you didn’t!

I can see it taking 400 hours even with a guide! I could never commit myself to Korok completion but I did find 150 out of 153 caves without help.

Last night I retired from Subnautica after 175 hours. I basically ran out of things I wanted to do. I saw that Below Zero is on sale but I think I’m going to pass on it because I’ve had enough of oppressive environments for now.

I considered getting Disco Elysium but concluded that it’s too dark how dark for my tastes (I read about some of the stuff that happens/can happen in the game and don’t think I can handle it).

The plan instead is to play through Super Mario Wonder with my 7-year-old. We started it yesterday and laughed a lot. I’m not particularly good at 2D platformers (I never beat any of the NES/SNES-era games) but am assuming that the badge system will make the later levels less frustrating. If all goes as planned we will be finishing the game around the time Hogwarts Legacy finally drops for the Switch.

didn’t need a guide for the bubbil gems, the game gives plenty of resources/clues all throughout so that wasn’t very hard. i did need a guide for korok seeds and finding (any) stone taluses and hinoxes since finding those are a bit harder. i wanna say i had found about 500 korok seeds before resorting to an online map for the rest. if i didn’t use a map, yeah, it definitely would have taken longer and i would have gone more mad by the minute 🤯😆

I just got 100% of the shrines and lightroots, and now I'm prepping my final fight. I couldn't imagine going for 100% of the seeds!

It was very good. My second favorite out of the 3 modern Tomb Raider games. My favorite was Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

I plan on going back and playing all 3 games again and trying to 100% them. But sadly I think that will be impossible for me with Raise of the Tomb Raider. It has difficulty based achievements such as "reply 5 levels without taking any damage" and "completing the game on survivor difficulty".

Regular difficulty is plenty hard. I always find the hardest difficulty level in games impossible. I don't understand how people can do this. For me I find it takes me 100's of tries to beat a boss battle if I can beat it at all. No fun whatsoever.

skill issue

jk lol

I'm in the same boat. if it's hard for the sake of being hard and stops being fun, what's the point?
 
Made some more progress in Lies of P this weekend. Not sure how the rest of the game is, but the first time you are allowed to summon is WAY overpowered. I was plugging away at the boss solo, and was probably only a few attempts from victory. My wife asked what the little fountain thing was by the boss door and I said it was for summons. Decided to try it out, hoping to see something story related. Got a summon I had never heard mention of before, and instead of the typical Dark Souls NPC that helps pull some aggro, this one went full ham on the boss and did the majority of the work. I think I only got hit a couple of times from wide sweeping attacks. Victory felt empty, so I won't be doing that again! Other than that the game has been fantastic so far.

Debating whether or not I should pick Elden Ring back up and try to finish it next.

I put in like 40-60 hours on the PS4 version before getting the PS5 and didn’t realize it’s a bit of a process to transfer your progress to the PS5.

Recently booted it up to pick up where I left off and was devastated to discover I have to start fresh.

It’ll be many years before I pick up the will to endure such punishment again lol
