A real hellraiser


My first death was on the central tower when I was being taught to use the Shiekah Slate. I pulled it out and tried to zoom into something and promptly walked right off the tower.

I love how absolutely brutal this game is after all the other ones were afraid to take more than 1/2 a heart for anything. giant spider robots who will obliterate you after chasing you for a mile is an awesome change.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

I never thought I'd be happy to see one-hit kills in a zelda game but welp


I did notice that you end up with a quarter heart after a particularly vicious attack suspiciously often though

If you die from fire, falling, or enemy physical attacks "Game Over" is in red. If you get frozen or zapped to death the "Game Over" is in blue or yellow, respectively. Pretty stupid but the little touches make it all great.

Wow, they've sure stuffed this game with little cool details. I remember the first time I came across bokoblins hunting boar, and that impressed me quite a bit for some reason. The AI is awesome

My one complaint with BotW are the side quests. While they are all really fun to do imo, the rewards are loving garbage most of the time. Thanks for the 100 rupees for my 10 minutes of time, I'd rather go bowling.

Also yea the game over colors are cool.

The only good case is the generic gray eva case that has a nice mesh pocket on the top side that holds a poo poo load of stuff but is still thin. You can find it all over the internet.

I stopped doing them once I realized this. But they are more adventure hooks then quests. They point to Some guy who only comes out at night in a place I would never have checked on my own. They are adventure hints and use them as such, I don't need the lovely food or a few more added to my pile of infinite rupees and gems.

That thing is loving monstrous. Unless you need to tote around the dock for some reason, no, don't get that. There is a smaller version that just holds the switch with joycons attached. That's the *goon approved* one. Same brand. Looks very similar. Still big, much smaller than that though.

I got the smaller one because I needed it to fit in a bag. I like it, but wish I could fit like... anything else in it. Even a pair of Apple earbuds was a no-go in that zippered pouch, because they get compressed down onto the Switch by the lid when closed up and no thanks. Forget about a USB cable.

The bigger one isnt too huge in person, but won't fit in a backpack too well. However, it can hold a shitload more stuff.

Someone on Kotaku was making GBS threads on this one because it turns out the inside is made from cardboard. I don't care because for $15 it does the job.

Everything else out are ugly as gently caress black plastic monstrosities. I'll upgrade mine when there are more options this summer.

What did they cut it open? I have this and it fits the Switch and my battery pack and cable and joycon straps. Its good.

Yeah that's the one I have, it's not a Hard case but it's enough protection from other backpack items. The bad part is they stitched in a billion game slots instead of something useful like a second pocket for headphones/usb-c cable/etc.

Beastie posted:

My only problem with it is that the mesh catches the joystick if you're not careful.

That too, you have to pull pocket open first to get the system in and out. Pretty minor, but also a thing.

I have the non-design version of that case. If you look at the tag it says cardboard as a material.

My only problem with it is that the mesh catches the joystick if you're not careful.

Edit: I take my Switch on a 12 minute train ride to work so it works awesome to just pop the case in my backpack. I could see needing something beefier if I was checking my bag with an airline.

I keep a USB cable in mine. Seems to be fine. What makes you say otherwise? I really just throw it in my bag though, so it wouldn't really bother me even if it didn't fit the USB cable.

Sorry, I was specifically referring to the USB cable that comes with the Pro controller -- it's too long and thick to coil up compact enough to fit without being stuffed. A shorter, thinner cable could probably work out without any major clearance issues.

I noticed while having the earbuds in that pouch that the lid rests on top of them while shut (before zipping it up,) and just didn't want them constantly pressed down onto the screen area.

Ah, yeah, this is a smaller third party cable I bought before I got a pro controller. The pro controller one is too long/thick, you're right. I wouldn't put earbuds in either.

I've been toying with doing this. My only worry is that the Switch will shift around. If it works for you then it works for me.

Get Samsung evo ones that are the highest size/price you think it's reasonable. They're pretty cheap and they're quality.
