Our glorious leader is away on vacations, so it falls on me to post this weekly thread. Just going to copy what I posted at the nintendo community, hope you don't mind.

  • Didn’t get to play New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, but plan to at least clear one level every day, starting from this weekend.
  • Completed second case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, started a third one. Loving the game.
  • Dragon Quest XI is probably the only one I spent most time playing. Going to keep playing it.
  • Beat Nergigante, with some help in Monster Hunter: World. Now have to look for other Elder Dragons, but since I have Rathian armour which has -10 Dragon damage resistance, going to grind some better armour. Thinking about High Metal or Ingot. I was thinking about pausing the game for a while to focus on DQ XI, but then I thought I would have to “git gut” in MH again, so going to stick with it. Couple of sessions every week at least to keep the skills from deteriorating very much.

What about you guys? What are you currently playing? And what do you want to start next?

The S version. Battle speed is set to fast. And yeah, the game is great.

I played Marvel's Avengers a little while ago, and while the start was great, the game became a grind and boring as the game progressed. Finished the story but had no mood to go for Platinum. The heroes were fun to play, and I agree, this could've been a great game if they had went with SP design, instead of going with Live Service one.

GotG and Alan Wake are on my wishlist, as for Yakuza, I played first 5 a long time ago, now wanted to replay the series from 0, but I am not sure I can play so many. So, wondering if I should just skip 1-5 and just watch the story to recall the details and jump straight to 6. I know Ishin is kind of a spin-off, but I want to play all the games in release order.

Yakuza 0 is the pinnacle of the series, you should absolutely try it. Tbh, you can just play 0-Kiwami 1-Kiwami 2, it serves as a great trilogy, with one great game and two good remakes, while the Remastered trilogy (3-4-5) can be skipped if you already experienced them. I personally don't like 6 that much, but you can go for it for the story.

It's definitely difficult to go through the entire series consecutively. You can avoid burnout by breaking up your playthroughs with the spin-off. Both Judgment games are amazing and offer a fresh take on the old RGG formula.

Oh, I didn't clarify, but I have played Yakuza 0 earlier this year (loved it, great game), just wondering if I should play 1-5 or skip them. I have limited gaming time, and hundreds of games in my backlog / wishlist. 😀

I think I would go with your suggestion, play Kiwami 1 and 2, then watch the story of 3-4-5 for a recap, and then go to 6.
