Oh man, I gotta say another thing that's a little too punishing about this game is the knockback. Usually its trivial and whatever, but every once in awhile somebody happens to knock you off a ledge and gently caress that just ruined everything. Link can go ragdolling down an entire mountain, down into a river, where you don't have enough stamina to actually climb back out or swim anywhere safe. Or worse, you fall somewhere on the ground and you don't actually die, so now you have to slowly work your way back up the mountain to get back to where you were and finish off that enemy who was almost dead, but managed to send you flying. Its like Castlevania 1 levels of knockback punishment. Kawabata posted:the desert boss ganon thing is the most awkward boss fight ive ever seen in a videogame. complete poo poo gameplay at 10fps Yeah I straight up hated that fight. Maybe my least favorite fight in any zelda game ever. It was just a mess. I knew exactly what to do but ugh.

See I think this is great. Getting sent flying off a mountain and watching Link smack his face on every rock down the way is hilarious. One day I hope to get knocked off a cliff, proc Mipha's Grace mid-fall, and then fall far enough to die again anyways.

Honestly, it's kind of a shame seeing a Nintendo game running so poorly (in places). Nintendo games usually feel so responsive because they run so smooth, and when you see that kind of stutter it becomes much more noticeable, more so than when other companies products release something that has similar performance hitches. And I say that while still thinking this game is awesome, by the way.

Suspicious Dish posted:where's my best bet for an electric trout Best place is the Hyrule Ridge tower. You know, the one surrounded by a lake that's a party spot for Electric Wizzrobes. The lake has a bunch of voltfin trout in it. If you haven't been there, you could try swimming through Zora's River. I got my voltfin trout from that river while doing the message in a bottle quest. DarthBlingBling posted:DLC hard mode idea: Link gets fatter as he eats Reminded of the Sonic mod that makes him get fatter everytime he grabs a ring Hard mode probably will have some restriction on eating though, like a fullness meter. Something to keep Link from breaking out a buffet table in the middle of every battle. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Mar 12, 2017 |

Honestly, I knew a week ago that Jim was going to give Zelda a silly score. Not that 7/10 isnt a "good" score, it is, but it clearly doesnt reflect the actual quality of this game. He has had beef with Nintendo for ages, and has likely given this review the score it got without being able to seperate the morons who make the legal decisions at Nintendo (which hes bang on about) and the guys who make the games at Nintendo. Its a drat shame, because normally I think hes pretty fair with his reviews but this is just the latest chapter in his long running issues with Nintendo.Macintosh HD posted:So who is this Jim everyone is mentioning http://www.thejimquisition.com/ He's something of a marmite video game critic.

I know I've said before this game doesn't seem to be my bag but god drat if it doesn't keep trying to draw me in anyway. I'll sit down, get up later disgusted then realize it's been two hours.  Since exploration is a thing I'm bad at/can't do, are there any Official Guides® that are any good? I wouldn't object to something to read while at work, otherwise I'd just google about.

Try to find another way around, usually there's some other place you can approach so you don't even have to climb, or so you can climb in short bursts with ledges. But yeah the rain really is my least favorite part of this game. Its way too punishing.

I really like how they redesigned the zoras here. Their heads are literally dolphins. Gorons really don't change much between games but they're probably the most redesigned race in the entire series (they always look different in every game they're in minus MM.)

I'm fine with the rain mechanic usually since it doesn't rain often. However, when you're in a place where it rains frequently that also has a ton of cliffs its super annoying. Akalla is the worst when it comes to this. Lots of cliffs, rains basically every loving day.Shimrra Jamaane posted:So doing this Zora side-quest... did I just enable a pedophile? The kid specifically mentions that Zora's don't grow tall quickly. Also the guy looks pretty young so I think they are both supposed to be teens. Its still weird though. At least the Zora kid acts pretty mature for her supposed age. Unlike Purah who is just awful awful awful.

squidgee posted:So uh, I'm doing the Goron dungeon right now and only have like 7 hearts. Depends on how good you are at parrying fireballs  Honestly gently caress hearts for the most part. I think I had something like 5 or 6 real hearts total until I maxxed out my stamina bar; durians are plentiful and max stamina is far more useful for just about every situation that's not "getting slapped in the face by a lynel". I've obviously got more now later, but all it really means is "bonus heart food goes further because I can make meals with one of them instead". Also the same applies to temp energy food, so I've got my bags cluttered with "+ fractions of bars of stamina food" from before I realized one cooked endura shroom is essentially worth 3-and-bit rings of stamina. Also re: divine beast rewards, I really like the abilities on paper but the fact that they're 1. not on a "cooldown per usage" and don't start recharging until you've used "all" of it and 2. force activate for Goron/Gerudo no matter how little you actually need it in that situation is irritating as poo poo. Multiple times I've ended up bombing the last stack of shielding off myself so I can have the full thing there for when it's actually useful, and I think I've gerudo stormed more enemies that were already dead from the power attack than live ones.

I ice blocked to the shrine before Eventide from the beach just because it's where I happened to be. I don't know if the inability to ice block while swimming was intentional for "balance" reasons or something relating to "well you have to use stamina while swimming. soooo" but if so, it's such a silly thing that I feel like they should have just allowed it. It's trivial to work around and doesn't add any difficulty, just irritation.
