Played quite a bit of Donkey Kong Bananza, have reached the Feast layer, though I did miss a few things in previous layer so will go back to it later to collect everything.

This should be very near to the end, as the whole skill tree has been unlocked, and how the story is progressing. Not going to rush though, going to play at my own pace, collecting everything before moving forward.


Played a little Judgment, not much to add here. Will fully focus on it after finishing Bananza and AI: The Somnium Files.


Finished the next two routes in AI: The Somnium Files.

Apparently my first playthrough ended in what is probably "true ending route" (I am assuming), as you need to complete the other 3, Red, Yellow and Blue route before you can continue that.

I have finished Yellow and Red route, now to the Blue Route, which I am guessing is going to be pretty long, since it diverges on Day 2, while others do on Day 3 or 4.

It was interesting to see some more info about people and what's happening, but there are still so many questions. Hopefully everything will be clear by the time I finish it.


I mentioned Diablo IV a few weeks back, but we are almost at the end. Just play it with friends, one night a week, but since we are mainly sticking with the main campaign, our progress isn't that slow. Plan is to finish the game this weekend.

The game is fun, but I miss the Diablo II skill tree, that was much better than what we have now, IMO.

I'll probably stop playing after that, but I do plan to return to it later, to play solo with other characters and do all the side stuff.

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

But the graphics doesn’t look good on Switch 2.

That's sad to hear, how's the performance?

Judgement and Diablo IV are NOT available on Nintendo platforms.

We don't care about platforms in this weekly thread. It's a general what we are playing. I regularly mention PS5 games, some people mention Steam or Xbox games as well. We also have users that mention Board games.

Oh I didn't know that. Cool to have open discussions.

How do you find Diablo IV vs III? I've been thinking to get III as it seems more approachable. I don't like micromanagement or overly complex systems.

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

Yeah, we try to stay away from any kind of console war or PC elitism.

Well, Diablo III isn't bad, but I liked IV much more that III. They have actually streamlined lots of things in IV, Skill tree is easy to understand and you can respec your characters whenever you want. For instance I was playing as Necromancer with all my skills suited for using minions to fight, but after completely unlocking my skill tree, I switched to using Shadow / blood magic and playing without minions.

Even other than that, you can do enjoy the game completely with just basic game knowledge. But ofcourse, there are lots of ways to min/max your build if you are into that.

Oh I forgot to mention that I only play solo, is IV designed more for multiplayer?

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Well, it's a Live Service game, and you need to be online to play it, but you can definitely play it solo.

You'll see other people moving around in towns or in wilderness, but I think the dungeons are private. Not 100% sure about it, but I recall reading something about it, and we haven't encountered anyone in dungeon.

There are options to find / join a party, but you can do all of that solo too, and that's how I plan to do my next playthrough too.
