I don't think I'm ever going to find a Switch. The day after I left Dallas Amazon Instant had it up for 3 minutes. All the in stock websites seem to be wrong when they list it as being in stock.

Lemming posted:Your argument was that a different game that works very differently doesn't use weapon durability, which does nothing to address the changes that would result in BotW from removing weapon durability in that specific game. Nobody has made the argument that no game would work without weapon durability, which is the only thing your example would address. The point is the game needs to be designed as a whole with that system in mind. BotW was designed with weapon durability in mind, so to remove it would require a total overhaul. You could do it, but it'd be debateable if it was "better," and it would certainly be a different game. those games are competitive player vs player games which sets an entirely different standard to a single player game. also that example is awful as it doesnt show a way that durability would help, which was the core conceit of the hypothetical. you may try again if you like

Now that I beat Zelda, aside from snipping some clips it will probably gather dust until Mario Kart. Also like 5 Top Tier games came out on other systems, a lot of which are huge time sinks.

With my set up, I don't have many issues with the joycons. However, the issue is definitely reproducible if I try, and I was under the assumption that everyone can reproduce it by covering it up and having another object in the way like a coffee table. I can use my PS3/PS4/360/XB1 controllers 20 ft away behind my back while standing so the couch and my coffee table are in the way and have absolutely zero connectivity issues. The other day my two year old was standing in front of me, and her plus the coffee table was enough to lose connection during Snipperclips. Since those aren't normal use conditions, I don't complain, but that is a bit outrageous that the antenna/radio circuits are so poorly designed. I haven't had such a bad connection for a wireless controller since my Double Player IR wireless controllers for the NES that required constant line of sight. Maybe I should send my joycons in if other people aren't able to reproduce the issue at all. Beastie posted:What kind of monster doesn't use the black theme?! I still use the white because I like the color of the icons on the homepage better. I hope they release a BOTW theme eventually.

This game doesn't do that. If you want to do that there are dozens of games from the past decade you can check out, some of them are pretty good!

My dumb muscle memory keeps defaulting to a Dark Souls-esque control scheme, so I end up hitting the right trigger when trying to parry in BotW. Drawing your bow doesn't do a lot to reflect guardian lasers back at them, let me tell you. Therefore, 2/10, game is garbage and by extension the Switch is garbage

This game doesn't do that. If you want to do that there are dozens of games from the past decade you can check out, some of them are pretty good! I definitely felt like I broke the game though. I had a full inventory of hugely powerful weapons. Armor that was the highest defense I could find. literally 250+ lighting arrows and around 75 of the other ones. Only 20 ancient but that's a end game 1 shot kill to guardians. And more full heals then I could carry. The boss was a joke, did a few hearts damage. I mean, it was thematically correct, the game said buff up to destroy Ganon. I buffed up and walked through him. It worked but I would 100% describe is as a broken game when nothing can even get close to me and if they do they his for 1/20th of my health. Again, my weapons breaking didn't add challenge, I had 10 more that strong, it added annoyance at swapping to a new one. Bombadilillo fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Mar 22, 2017 |

This is why I'm hoping the hard mode is more than enemies deal more damage/have more health, and I'm optimistic because they proved they really knew what they were doing when they built the game in the first place. Weapon durability doesn't make much of a difference end game, true, but it makes a huge difference earlier on.

They usually did the hearts don't drop from enemies, only heal with potions/enemies hit harder for hard mode. Im interested to see what they do here. Maybe food heals over time? Hopefully its something clever and fun.Lemming posted:This is the result of being pretty far end game where you'd naturally assume you'd be strongest, but I agree that it's less fun.

I agree with that, It gets less bad. I wished that the special weapons you get didn't break, but you got other ones that can be more powerful or elemental that break. I really liked the Goron one and make pilgrimages to death mountain to get a knew one regularly. I feel bad for that goon who loved the Giants boomerang. Have fun twice in the game I guess (there might be more I found 2 I remember). Or maybe actual weapons merchants who sold these things?

The real content in the stuff in December. The Summer pack is to give you something to do during the long summer months (unless you are an adult and have work). I'm hoping there is more to it but I wouldn't be overly angry if it was just normal hard mode. Maybe with a tacked on you need 5 orbs to upgrade instead of 4 meaning you will have less hearts and stam when you hit end game. Food that gives max hearts not also topping you off would be pretty interesting since you would need to heal before using it. It would also make inns a ton more viable.

I had to do this a few times for the kid's "show me these weapons" quest and I think it was pretty fun to do. Like a mini adventure.

That would be really disappointing to me because the way the game works is really convenient and accommodating and lets you do all sorts of things you feel like it should be able to let you do, but once you know the ins and outs you can really break it. Stuff like switching between armor types mid combat (sneak with sneak outfit, then switch to tank armor once the fight starts as an example), the full heal thing, even just chomping tons of food mid fight take a lot of the challenge out, and even if the numbers are tweaked, unless it's so insane you HAVE to do those things to beat it, it'll still be pretty easy.

I loved the giant boomerang too. I assume there's more than one in the game. I know stuck-in-the-ground weapons seem to respawn when monsters do, but I'm not sure about chests. I also don't remember where that big boomer was. I wasn't yet keeping track of stuff like that when I found it.

It does play better after the update they released, but I still suck and it's pretty repetitive. It does seem like it would be a great game for live multiplayer if you can get a few friends together and embrace the chaos. But Fast RMX is great value for $20. Tons of courses and good online play. It's just difficult to find time to blink during a race.
