Horizon Zero Dawn is remarkably excellent. Honestly, the Killzone developers created this game. Unbelievable jump in quality into a vastly different genre.

Good grief the BOTW graphics and FPS dips on wii-u are atrocious. It's not unplayable or anything but drat. Even with the cell shading whatever poo poo they use.

Yeah yeah Nintendo graphics blah blah but other wii-u games look legit great on my Samsung ks8000

Honestly new Zelda is maybe a 7-8/10. Goons losing their minds over how amazing it is. A lot of the realism Skyrim whatever aspects like weather/temp affecting you and weapon durability are annoying as gently caress. I guess I prefer a more linear Zelda too. That's disregarding the poo poo graphics and fps

Still gonna give it an honest go and maybe it'll pick up idk

Yeah, def. This game came out of nowhere for me and it's awesome.

Really glad I got HZD instead of Zelda. Hoping they patch things up so the framerate isn't terrible for it when I inevitably buy it in the future.

The Souls series and Diablo 2 are the only ones I can think of that gets gear degradation to the point where it isn't a massive "gently caress you we're adding play time and choice related content" without them bothering to make it fun or even strategic

Except when they released Dark Souls 2 on PC and gear degraded twice as fast because they calculated it based on number of frames in contact with dead bodies or walls. They eventually fixed it but that was horrible.

Fallout New Vegas did a pretty good job, I thought. Well-made weapons degraded slowly, crappy Saturday night specials fell apart faster, and if you bothered to throw a few skill points into repair, you could easily keep your weapons in working order with the scavenged parts you found on dudes you killed.

Well you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

I've been trying to sell my non-pro PS4 bundle forever and some guy asked me if I wanted to trade for a Switch with Zelda. Thought it maybe fell off a truck or something but he had a receipt and everything. He ended up taking a bit of a loss but they're not exactly impossible to find around here so it was about even.

Anyways guess I'll see what this thing is all about. I already have 6 hours on the Wii-u, at least I know what to do now. Portable Zelda does sound nice. Keeping my wii-u forever tho

Switch is 900p and wii-u is 720p. But switch is 720p portable I think. Maybe a tiny benefit in FPS. Switch has better audio

The wii-u graphics and FPS dips are pretty bad but it's more than playable

Figured I'd throw it up on here first.

gave my copy of Dirt Rally with my PS4 bundle. Was gonna sell the game with the DLC since I never used it but took it since I knew the guy wouldn't use/care about it

It's the pre-order bonus which gets you the loaded mini Cooper and escort mkII and some other random little bits like a unique engineer I guess idk. Yours if you promise to actually put it to use

It's worth it just for the larger hard drive. You'll spend more than that $100 if you ever decide that 500GB isn't enough (because it isn't these days).

If you have a PS4 already I don't know that it's worth getting a Pro, but if you're deciding between the two, go with the Pro.

Yes absolutely. With the forthcoming boost mode, there is a net benefit for un-patched titles as well.

Oh yeah that's a good point, I just upgraded my old 500GB platter games drive for a 1TB SSD and it's so nice not having to worry about these giant 50+GB games anymore.

The new zelda is scratching an exploration itch in a way I haven't felt in a really long time. It makes me want to go backpacking and climb mountains the same way reading "The Hobbit" does.

Its up there with the first time I explored FFXI with my high school friends, emerged from the vault in fallout 3, or just went out exploring in dayz with friends looking for gear and just enjoying walking around a forest searching abandoned buildings

Also out of all the open world games how is zelda the first one to make a decent climbing mechanic?

Try to get a screen protector for it if you can. Apparnetly it scratches easily, especially with the dock if you're not careful

I'm not shocked, Nintendo products tend to have poo poo screen durability despite being relatively rugged in other ways. I'm sure goons are acting like you'd have to be some kind of idiot retard to get so much as a blemish on your device, though.

actually it's the best console ever released according to goons, with such amazing games as Zelda, Bomberman, and switch 1,2
