Playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, killing demons and dragons, making alliances, removing obstacles. I can see why people loved this game so much.

I finished The Last Campfire soon after posting like week’s thread.

Started The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the first time ever, on Switch using NSO subscription. I was expecting a very dated gaming experience, but it doesn’t feel too bad. The gameplay is still fun. There was some issue with getting used to the controls on Switch, but I think I have gotten the hang of it now. Basically have to remember to not use right stick, and things work out fine.

I have left the forest, and am now in Goron dungeon. Got slightly stuck in couple of places but not enough to look up anything yet, it’s still early in the game though, so who knows how it goes.

Edit: I dropped Helldivers 2, while the game seems really fun, it just isn’t for me. I am not sure why exactly, but I think it’s because the game has no narrative and no proper end point. I like to play and finish the games, but can’t do that if game never finishes.

What about all of you? What have you been playing, or planning to play over the weekend?

    I’m still playing through the Perfect Dark campaing on Switch. As you mention with OoT, once you get used to the controllers, you don’t mind anymore. I thought maybe N64 games hadn’t aged well since the 3D graphics were right from the start of the transition into 3D, with not too many polygons. But the gameplay is still fun, which is the main thing. And the old graphics have their charm!

    I also had some friends come over and since one of them had mentioned she liked Bubble Bobble, I got Bubble Bobble 4 Friends. I wouldn’t get it for myself, but it turns out to be really fun and chaotic on couch co-op with 3 other people. It starts easy and gets quite challenging, mostly when there’s so much stuff on screen (or I’m old), but I guess that’s the goal.

      I agree about N64 graphics. While I don’t mind 16bit pixel art, early 3D graphics haven’t aged well, but Ocarina of Time, and Perfect Dark (from the trailer) don’t look that bad. If other games of that age are similar, than I think I can try a few more of them.
