After playing BotW I dunno if I can go back to old Zeldas.

I could probably go back to Wind Waker, still. But yeah, BotW really throws up a giant middle finger to the last like 16 years of Zelda design, where Hyrule is basically a theme park with Castle Land, Volcano Land, Water Land, and Spooky Land, or whatever.

Which is fascinating because it's arguably still built like Disney World. There are thematic areas. You can see the castle from almost every point on the map if you get to high ground. It's just arranged into a more real space, compared to even Twilight Princess, where the world still felt clearly like a series of big rooms.

Naw Its a different style, I like the puzzle to get into the themed puzzle dungeon to get more stuff to solve puzzles. Its very different. BotW really is scratches the skyrim itch with a little Zelda thrown in for variety.

one of the things pissing me off about all the stores around here is this jerking me around with "you'll have to come in and see if we have any" followed up with "but don't expect any for weeks at least"

like what you think i'm gonna walk in, see you have none, and buy something else? stop loving jerking me around and just say if you're out.

So I had a pro controller preordered assuming that the Joycons would be... not great. Turns out I was 100% wrong about that and two handed split mode is the greatest thing ever, especially considering that they don't register as a controller to my daughter (who loves to try to pull Daddy's Dualshock 4 and Steam controller out of his hands while he's playing a game).

So on Saturday I tried to cancel my preordered Pro controller with Amazon, stating that "it wouldn't arrive quickly enough" which is true, because if it had gotten here launch day I would have opened it and used it and probably liked it instead of going to WalMart to purchase a second set of Joycons instead, which is what I did.

So Amazon was like "I gotcha buddy, we'll make USPS deliver it to you on Sunday instead of Monday like we said we would!"

...before I return it to Amazon, I figured I'd offer it to a goon that was unable to get a Pro controller. Heck, I'll even be super nice and just charge the $69.99 USD for the controller itself and eat the cost to send it priority mail to ya. PM me if you want it.

reach down deep, there is always one. Zelda, LttP, OoT, WW and ALBW all have replay value to me. I could maybe do Majora's Mask once more in the future. That said, it is too early for me to say BOTW has replay value to me, not because it isn't that good, I think it will just be THAT long where I may not have the time. Unless I try to speed run it and go straight to the end.

Yeah I think BOTW replays are going to be speed/gimmick runs as opposed to 100% it again. I think the only game in the entire series I haven't played more than once is Twilight Princess.

I can't believe that in the year 2017, tribal console warriors are still going strong on their insane hate of whichever brand they don't identify with. I've never had a console at launch before the Switch and it's really... strange to see reactions.

For anyone with Left Joycon issues, here is a home remedy video to fix it fairly easily. Obviously you will most likely void your warranty, but this also explains why you won't be seeing a software patch for it.

You should look at the Retro Console thread, as people there posted links to Genesis Console Warriors who stick to the plug and play Genesis box.

It isn't tribal console hate. It's pointing out all the flaws in the system. There is a difference. I think console wars are over. No one cares. They just want a decent valued purchase. And so far, with all the issues, this isn't it. And outside of this little bubble on the internet, it has 2+ million views because people aren't going to be purchasing it until they fix those issues.

I am sure some early adopters are happy though.

Apparently dbrand put up a note on their Switch site saying they wouldn't be selling skins because they damage the console on removal in a way they can't get around. Apparently saying that anyone making skins for the console is going to have the same issue. So if those are the kind of thing you're into, heads up.

I have to admit, I put the joycon straps on incorrectly my first time. But I didn't have many lights on in the room and it was hard to see the + and -, and it was a pain to get off but I just grabbed the controller with my index and middle finger and hooked my thumb on the strap piece and squeezed.

Also, all of the dead consoles and technical issues does give me some anxiety, haha. Will have to baby mine.
