It's gonna be so good when the day 1 Switch or BoTW patch somehow breaks the game and we will have to wait a weekend to get a fix

In which case game doesn't boot without the patch. Well if people doing the EU leak files dance are any indication. Files leak is split between the almost 10gig game and a 2ish gig patch. Well for Wii u. gently caress if anyone knows what the switch version will be like patch wise.

This is why I'm going to the midnight launch, I'm just gonna get home, set up the wifi on it, and leave it all night updating, then when I wake up in the morning I'm gonna leave Zelda updating while I'm at work, then during lunch hour I'm gonna come back home to make sure everything is working and the connection didn't just drop Then I'm gonna come back from work and fall unconscious because I am so tired and not actually play until like 6 AM Saturday

Like that or a bunch fell off a truck or were destroyed or whatever. Rip all those zero time dilemma watches.

I'm grabbing this on Switch Friday but I tried out the Wii U version through means. There's some choppy frame drops in some areas but it runs and looks fine from the 3 hours I played and I wouldn't feel too bad about missing out on the Switch version if I wasn't such a baby that needs his new nintendos day one. It's funny that they obviously removed all the Sheikah Slate second screen functionality from the gamepad just so it wouldn't have any advantage over the Switch one. It just displays a kinda annoying slowly flashing text prompt that enables gamepad only mode. Awesome game btw but I'm going to wait for my Switch copy to play beyond the Great Plateau.

Someone on Reddit posted a list of the towns in the game. Just the names of them. For those who want to get hyped: BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER --- Lurelin Village, Kakariko Village, Hateno Village, Rito Village, Zora's Domain, Goron City, Tarrey Town, Gerudo Town --- BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER BUFFER NOTE: I've put an indeterminate number of "BUFFER"s in there as not to give away the length of the list for anyone who doesn't want to mouse-over and read it. Edit: and for anyone who only wants to know the number of towns, here: There are 8 towns in the game Hedrigall fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Mar 1, 2017 |

So for people who have been watching spoilers and stuff... That collectors edition map where people translated the Hylian to reveal the back story with the 4 dungeons being mech beasts created by the gods to stop Ganon... Is that something that was supposed to be a reveal or is it presented fairly early on? I read it thinking they wouldn't spoil the game with promotional materials released months ahead of time.

SeANMcBAY posted:I'm grabbing this on Switch Friday but I tried out the Wii U version through means. I've put in about 20 What really sucks is I'll be redoing it all on the Switch on Friday. I avoided the guided story and had a blast traversing the land, trying to fight, learning how to sneak around and fight smart. This game is simply incredible. I think it's time to set it down, though, and prep for the real deal. Also concurring the Wii U framerate issues. In any place of "interest", it tends to cut down to 20. In some areas it almost seems to drop under 20. And this is at 720p. Switch is going to be the way to go. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I've heard everything about the wiiu version from "it's fine with occasional dips" to "it's 20fps like half the time" so I don't know what the gently caress to believe anymore and will just wait until it's actually taken to task from digital foundry or some poo poo

Wandering the field and mountains is usually fine, as long as there aren't a lot of structures or a massive amount of grass. Higher polygon areas like dungeons, villages, etc. have some serious dropping.

Sounds like I've made the right decision to wait until I can get a Switch then.

It's "early": You find out about the mech beasts being created to stop Ganon as soon as you are capable of leaving the plateau. Not sure when they tell you that they're also the dungeons, but at that point you can probably guess if you've been following the rumor mill.

So, like 20-sub fps during anything other then casual exploration? edit: Speaking of disappointments, Amazon gave me the "We don't have a shipping date for this item yet" for the special edition of the BOTW guide. Lucky for me because sanity kicked in and I took the opportunity to cancel the order. Seriously, who needs strategy guides nowadays? Unless it comes with some cosmetic DLC or something the internet will have the entire thing scanned and up in a matter of days if not hours. pentyne fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Mar 1, 2017 |

Does anyone know how or if there is a Kakariko Graveyard and how it's handled? Is there even a Kakariko? I just want to know if there are ReDead/Poes/Wall Masters/etc and if there is something akin to a "Shadow Temple" and if it's some cool throwback to OoT. I always liked that TP gave a nod to OoT's Kakariko and graveyard but it's probably been hundreds of years since those events so they're long gone by BotW.

Timeline: I think there are bird people so post Wind Waker, also there are tree people Kokori. Not sure if any of that is a spoiler, I guess some people don't watch trailers maybe.

Friend said that the amiibo give you tunics from the respective games you scan in and showed me a picture of Link in the Twilight Princess garb. That's kinda neat to know, though apparently the chests can give you garbage poo poo as well.

I don't really care about any of this but I just want to remind you all that if you think it would be funny to spoil a mojor release like this (without using spoiler tags) before it's even out then the only thing you'll achieve is a sensible chuckle from me while I'm putting you on a long probation.

Hearing about the framerate in the Wii U version is a lil disappointing. Im an impatient idiot so I'll probably still get the Wii U version and get the Switch version at the end of the year when them shits is cheap. Also I doubt Im gonna get through the entire year without somehow hearing everything about it so I may as well just play it now.

(as with post I quoted not really spoilers if you watched any trailers) Not to mention Wind Waker ended with the Master Sword under an ocean sealing Ganondorf and Hyrule refounded in a different land entirely a couple games later. Only spoilers here are for Wind Waker I guess but tagged anyway.
