What are you playing this weekend? 2024-07-19
Still playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, nothing more to say about it. Though, while the game is still fun, I think my stamina for 50+ hours games has gone really down. I am about 65 hours in. I think I can do 10 or so more hours without much issue, hopefully I'll be near the end by then.
Played some more of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Cleared the first temple, and now clearing the second temple, I am quite sure I have cleared more than half of it. Should reach the third temple over the weekend.
One interesting thing is, Ocarina of Time has interesting dungeons and kinda meh overworld, which is opposite of BotW and TotK.
I also started couple of "side-games". Horizon Chase Turbo a no nonsense arcade racing game, it's just race after race, without any other shenanigans. I have only played the first area, so not sure if I will keep liking it, but for now I am enjoying it.
Also started Golf Story. This has been on my wishlist since Switch's launch year. A lite-RPG / golf game. I am not really a big golf fan, but I am enjoying it in this game.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?

- www.videogameschronicle.com Link will be playable in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom | VGC
ESRB rating reveals new details about the upcoming Switch game…
> Confirmation that players will be able to assume the role of Link comes via the US Entertainment Software Rating Board. > > “This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Zelda as she attempts to dispel rifts throughout Hyrule and rescue Link,” reads the classification board’s rating summary of Echoes of Wisdom. > > “From a ¾-overhead perspective, players explore various environments while fighting stylized enemies (e.g., humans, creatures). As Link, players use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies; Zelda can use a magic wand to summon creatures (e.g., wind-up knights, pig soldiers, slime) for battle. > > “Some enemies can be defeated by being set on fire; other creatures dissolve into mist when defeated. Battle sequences are somewhat frenetic, with several enemies attacking/fighting at once.” > > To what extent Link is playable in the game remains to be seen. While some fans are speculating that the title could feature dual protagonists, or a New Game Plus mode starring Link, his role as a playable character could be much more limited.

What are you playing this weekend? 2024-07-12
Played out some 4-5 hours more of Dragon Age: Inquisition, there are still 3-4 areas I haven't even started exploring, so this is going to take a few months more.
Also played a few hours of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Some spoilers if you haven't played the game. If your client doesn't auto-hide them, you should skip next 3 paragraphs.
Ocarina of Time spoilers
Cleared the Zora area, was a bit lost on how to get to the stone, but figured it out after running around for a bit. Got stuck in the dungeon though, couldn't figure out how to proceed. There were couple of switches but needed to put something on it or the door closes. Had to look it up that you have to talk to the Princess multiple times. Since majority of NPC don't change their dialogue, I didn't bother talking to her again after hearing her dialogue.
So, cleared the dungeon, got stuck again at finding "Ocarina of Time", then finally got the master sword, and found out that BotW wasn't the first time when Link slept for years, apparently it's a thing he do. Alo, Link got bigger! I didn't know about that, so that was surprising.
Now, I am again stuck at Karakiro Village, since the Sheik told me to go there, but can't figure out what to do. Impa was supposed to be at graveyard, but can't find it there. And have tried most buildings in the village and there isn't anything directing me where to go. There is obviously something under the well, but my bomb can't destroy it yet, so will come back to it later. Well, I am not stuck enough yet to look up what to do, going to see if I missed anything. Maybe will figure something out.
I was also playing Swords and Soldiers in small bursts. Finished it. It was a fun little game, and I'll recommend it if you like the genre. I have heard that second game is better in every way, so have added it to my wishlist. Sad to see that the studio has closed though.
Phew that went for a while 😀
So, what have you been playing lately? Or any game that you would like to recommend?
- www.gamedeveloper.com Nintendo's systemic policy of miscrediting is harming external translators
External translators who've worked on major franchises including The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing have been refused credits and locked into decade-long NDAs.
That's really sad. What's worse that Nintendo isn't the only one, apparently it happens a lot in the gaming industry.
