mamelon posted:I think I misused "grinding," then. My impression is that the enemy fights, attack mechanics, and achievement criteria become sort of strict and unforgiving as the game gets harder. That's absolutely not true as far as the base game is concerned. You don't need to do any grinding or any arcane tedious stuff to beat legend mode and the entire first adventure map. It is not strict or unforgiving, with the hardest maps rewarding good strategy and planning (as well as some amount of technical skill at dodging when it comes to avoiding damage). In some of the later DLCs it gets murkier where optimal strategies involve getting item powerup potions and spamming light arrows to stunlock everything. That sucks, in my opinion, so I fizzled out and stopped playing in the middle of the Twilight DLC. But until that point, it's completely reasonable and you don't need to grind or do weird tricks to progress at all. Just buying the base game gets you a long, meaty experience that you will be able to complete without getting bored or frustrated. Then if you want more you can explore the DLC. In summary, you've misinterpreted what you read in the thread where people are mostly talking about the more recent DLC stuff that doesn't apply to earlier parts of the game.

Hyrule Warriors is really good and the DLC package is mostly good. You're almost certainly going to burn out on the game before you finish all of it, but if your experience ends up being like mine you'll still get a hundred hours out of it before that happens.

Overall completion percentage 81%. Playtime 19:19. Not bad at all really! Only scan thing I missed was the wasps in the incinerator, apparently. (Those were unique wasps?!)

So with Tipping Stars, how does the actual tipping system work? I understand that you get stars by completing levels, and that stars can either be spent in the workshop to buy new items to use in levels or to tip to players whose levels you enjoyed, but that makes it sound like stars are a finite thing and it'll be weird if you can't unlock everything in the workshop through the base game and have to resort to making levels to get more stars to buy everything. So yeah, how does it actually work?

Silver Falcon posted:Switching gears for a second, I just beat Metroid Prime! In Metroid Prime 2, don't try to be too cautious in the dark world. At first, your health drains at a frightening rate, but rather than waiting for it to slowly tick back to full in the safe zones, look for anything destructable. Those coccoons will give you large health refills. Until you become more resistant to the atmosphere, most of your visits to the dark world will be heavily signposted by the locations of the safe zones. It also helps to remember the layout of the same places in the light world.

Well you also get stars for completing other people's custom levels, about half of which are straight line star farms. Make any halfway decent level though and you'll find yourself with lots of tips.

The Wii U disc in the Smash OST has Pac Man's theme which was in Smash 3DS so hopefully Nintendo will give me a full refund on both versions of the game

Mario 3D World question: Do you really have to beat every level with every character to unlock stuff? If so, is there any way to tell which characters you've beaten a level with? And what's the deal with the yellow flag on the stats screen? Is that just for getting the tip of the flagpole at the end of the level? Is that required to unlock stuff, too?

Sade posted:Mario 3D World question: Do you really have to beat every level with every character to unlock stuff? If so, is there any way to tell which characters you've beaten a level with? Beating every level with every character is strictly a 100% completion thing. In order to unlock the final world you need to get every top of the flagpole, every green star and every stamp. Other than the final world though it's just the green stars that unlock levels (you should try to get to that final world though so you can feel the pain of Champion's Road like the rest of us)

Yeah all you get for beating every level with a character is their stamp (and I think doing it with everyone might get you a star on your save file, I don't really remember)

And if your girlfriend burns out on the game, you can simply carry another idle character with you to the flag pole to speed up completion time. I know this from experience.

Re: Mario 3D completion; once you beat the final boss/every level once (don't remember which), you unlock an addition to the level checklist feature that'll show you what characters have beaten which level.

What do we know so far about Zelda for Wii U? I know it's suppose to be very open world, making it sound like there will be less of a focus on puzzles? The dungeons will probably still be puzzle heavy though.

Link can glide with a parachute in it, too. The open world Mario looks around wind waker size actually, just stems a lot bigger since it's land. We'll see if the land pet "square" is as empty as the ocean was though.

I seem to remember someone saying that having homebrew installed on your Wii would invalidate the transfer of your data to the WiiU. Is this actually true? And if so what steps can I take in order for the transfer to succeed? Would I have to reinstall homebrew on the vWii?

You can transfer just fine, it just won't transfer anything not on your Shop Channel account.

If you have homebrew, when you do the transfer it just ignores anything added with homebrew. You can still transfer anything you bought on the Wii but all the homebrew stuff stays on it. You would have to reinstall homebrew on the vWii.
