Last weekend before Switch 2 release! How many of you have pre-ordered? Hope you all get it on launch day or as soon after it as possible!

Started Chatper 9 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition but got stuck, I was at recommended level, but you can't use Skells during the fight, and it's kinda tough one. I also went with characters with low class levels, so grinding a bit to level up.

Finished The Surge!

The game took a bit getting into, but once I did, it was a really enjoyable game. The games isn't too difficult, and while I died more than a dozen (more than a couple dozen) but they all felt my faults, like I knew what to do, just wasn't skilled enough to do that. If there was an easy mode, I would've switched to that and just finished the game, but as it is, took 3 days to finally beat it.

Started Marvel's Midnight Suns. I am only at the beginning and have done just the first mission after creating the character, so not much to say, but it feels really good for now. As a turn based tactics game, it would've been perfect on the Switch.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Like last week, I'm playing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. I don't know how far into the story I am, but...

spoilerThe calamity has already appeared.

I've been doing the shorter missions at times, like sit down for 15 minutes and do a few of those and trying to get more stuff. It's hard not to always play with Link, but I've had fun with other characters too. And if you don't level them up, then Link is overpowered in comparison. Has anyone else played the DLC? It looks cool, but I wonder if it's worth it? The gameplay is fun, but the story caught me as this is a BotW prequel. I'm thinking of going back to BotW, then I can play the enhanced version when I get a Switch 2 and notice the improvements much better, since I haven't played in so long now.

I'm not a huge fan of the Warriors format, but I had a good enough time with AoC. Some of the cut scenes gave me chills. I'm a little fuzzy about the DLC. I got it, and enjoyed it (don't think I finished all of it), but I'm not sure I'd call it crucial. It's just more game. It's gone on sale a handful of times for the patient gamers out there. I'd wait until you're done with the core game before trying to decide. If you're still flowing, go for it. If you've had enough, let it be.

Been kinda wanting to pick it back up since Age of Imprisonment was revealed.

Oh, and I pre-ordered a Switch 2 from a big retailer, but I'm still expecting not to get it June 5 for some random reason 😅 (Nintendo, the retailer, the mail...) They can't disappoint you if you're expecting to be disappointed!

You can pay to level up the other people. It’s a pain, but there are options if you’re only using Link.

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

After reading this comment I went to that training place for the first time! 😅 Yeah, that makes it easier, and it's not too expensive to level them up to a decent level.

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I try to at least force myself to cycle through the main story people. It helps with the repetition and makes it feel like I’m experiencing more of the story.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

All your talk of AoC is making me want to play it.

Can just get Age of Imprisonment but can't justify buying it unless I finish AoC. Why are you doing this to me? 😀

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Hahaha, Age of Imprisonment is what got me back into this! Need to clear out that backlog before the new Switch 2 titles start coming out 😄
