Finished Splatoon Raiders! Well, at least saw the credits.

I was wrong about the map again, there was one more map reveal before we got to the final level. Not to mention that the final level wasn't a single level, it had it's own mini-world map with a few levels, which got lengthier and more difficult as we reach closer to the final boss. Finally cleared all that though! There are a few post-game dungeons, and they say you'll get something if you complete all of them, so at least there is one more story moment.

Levels have "normal" mode, and during the game you unlock "hard" mode for completed dungeons, which give you different rewards. After finishing the game, "Very hard" mode is also unlocked for all levels.

Not sure if I'll do the very hard versions, but at least going to clear main post-game dungeons. I am a bit underleveld for that, so clearing the unfinished hard levels. This also gives me the chance to upgrade my last tank (Tactics!) completely, as well as raise my bonding level with last member (Shiver!) to max.

Overall opinion, the game is a lot of fun. The gameplay loop doesn't change from the start (there is a constant progression though, regularly unlocking new stuff), so if you don't like it, you don't need to keep playing, the game is probably not for you.


Played a bit of Hogwarts Legacy. No significant update here. Didn't play Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age or Fire Emblem Three Houses as I wanted to focus on Splatoon Raiders.


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

Replaying Destiny 2 on a new warlock character

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

There doesn't seem to be any chance in near future, but fingers crossed for Destiny 3.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just played No man's sky for the first time some weeks ago. Jeez, I am so hooked. I started going late to bed because of a game for the first time in 20 years.

It'll help me wait for a price drop for elden ring... someday...

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I have heard great things about No Man's Sky. Glad you are enjoying it.

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I will finish, maybe, my first run in Brigandine Abyss. Just a guess, currently not sure how my choose story path is ending

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

How are you liking Brigandine Abyss? I recall you said it wasn't what you expected.

Finished Octopath Traveler II!

It was very nice of the developers to give us a good "power leveling" option late game, which also led to some rather amusing moments like this (no significant spoilers in the video). Anyway, I quickly ended up very overleveled and the last few chapters were a breeze, I beat Agnea's final boss in two attacks. 😀

Awesome final chapter and epilogue, I really wish future games lean more on moments like that with the whole party. Definitely going to pick up OT0, and may even give OT1 another chance after this.


Playing Super Robot Wars Y Anniversary Expansion Pack!

Back to this but only did one more mission. Looks like we're getting the Witch From Mercury S2 content.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

lol, I like being OP, maybe I should add it back to my wishlist.

[–] Phelpssan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

It's fairly easy to get OP in OT2.

Game is very open and rewards exploration, you can grind enemies 10 levels higher if you're careful (treat them like mini-bosses), and it's not hard to reach cities with higher-level gear early (and money is plentiful if you keep stealing stuff from NPCs). Also has many easy-to-reach chests in higher level dungeons with good gear.

Late game you also have this trick I showed in the video - an expensive to hire NPC that can get you 100x EXP or 100x JP bonuses if you're lucky, but you can ensure you get max value with some save scumming. Gear matter far more than levels in this game, so this feels like a bonus the developers threw in case you need to catch-up some characters or just want to power-level a bit.

In Fallout 3, I'm now in the main story part that I haven't played on my first attempt to beat the game, so it's all new from here! Fawkes is great, I didn't expect to pick up another companion but I can't resist. And because he officially counts as a 'creature', I can have him and Bittercup at the same time!


I completed the Zoro DLC in One Piece: World Seeker. I was surprised to have access to the main world map. I was saying that the world is basically made for Luffy to traverse it with his abilities, so how would Zoro reach high places? Apparently, by continuously jumping up any wall, no matter how steep. It's a bit weird, but whatever works!


Having finished the early grinds in Monster Hunter GU, I chose Cephadrome as my first monster to hunt. That was a mistake! He had a paralysis weapon I wanted to craft for the early game, but without being able to make Sonic Bombs yet he was a huge pain in the butt! He also gave me my first taste of the legendary Plesioth hip-check. I knew the memes, but good lord that's a hitbox and a half! I'll pick someone more basic next time...

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

Had to look up Plesioth hip-check, and you are right, that's some hitbox!

How are you liking it though? Having fun?

[–] sdcSpade@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm having fun, but you'll have to ask again in a few months. Aside from the obvious 'old game' quirks that are hard to go back to, I still have a long way to go to get used to my new weapon. I've been playing Switch Axe since Rise, so the fact that I have a shield to block attacks with is very strange. Rathian is always a good litmus test to see how well you're doing but it'll take me a long time to get to that point.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Well, good enough for now. Hopefully you will keep enjoying it.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

One of my friends presented a challenge to the group.

Who will be the first to beat The 7th Saga?

I think I'm the only one seriously attempting the challenge. 4 runes found. 3 more to go!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wow, that's an old game. Good luck with the challenge and keep us updated!

[–] Phelpssan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Also a game that's notoriously difficult in the wastern release due to nerfs applied to character stats in this version.
