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

      Haven’t played either, but I think GBA Fire Emblem might be a shorter game, if that matters. Would love to know what you ended up playing.

        Hehe, my wife and I ended up playing Mario 3D world to finish the story and just started bowser’s fury :P
        MH:Rise is just to continue playing it, I already finished it but it’s a great game to mindlessly play when getting bored.

          My little one loved Bowser’s Fury, she was too young to play it when I did, but she loved the Fury version of Bowser. She now call Bowser, “Bowser Fury”. When watching the Super Mario Bros movie there was a regular argument between the kids,

          “It’s Bowser Fury”

          “It’s not Bowser’s Fury, it’s just normal Bowser. Bowser’s Fury is that big one”

          “It’s Bowser Fury again!”

          “Nooo, it’s not Bowser’s Fury…”. 😃

          Yeah, I didn’t get the attraction of MH before but now that I am playing, I can totally understand that. Though, I am still at the stage where I have to be cautious against the new/big monsters.
