A real hellraiser


Has anyone tried spawning a giant metal box on the edge of the world with the guardian Amiibo, stasis smacking it, then grabbing on to break past the barrier?

Also, it makes certain weapons better or worse, makes certain critters and things appear, and it's not like you can't climb if you do the 4climb1Jump technique. It limits your climbing earlier in the game but less so later, so regardless of what direction you go in it puts higher things more out of easy reach and that is a good and clever mechanic

The one thing I haven't really liked and wasn't at all clever was just being stopped by an invisible wall and told NOPE at the map edge. Why is there obviously walkable land and no contrived story reason to stop me? Just nope. That was lazy and the only thing I can say that about so far (100+ hours in )

yeah. Walking far out in the Gerudo Desert and being told to screw off was lame.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

I really if BotW has ruined exploration in all other open world games for me. I definitely ruined Horizon, which is still good in combat and everything else. But I couldn't care less about finding crap because its bad and not fun.

Laughing with my wife (who is a model by the way) at people being mad at rain and breakable weapons in Zelda as they don't recognize the brilliance of interlocking systems overlapping to force the player into tense, dynamic encounters and situations beyond their control, requiring quick thinking and adaptability to overcome, thereby increasing the fun factor from 4.5 to 5 out of 5. Just lol.

It's a cool game where discovering *stuff* is really fun and interesting, and the dungeon rewards are part of that stuff even if you think you're being clever with your dumb analogy. There's an entire thread to talk about that stuff without ruining the experience for other people.

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense
I have a question about Snake Pass controls. For some reason all the videos the person playing can't figure out how to move like a snake, and never mentions anything about how to play properly. You gotta wrap your snake body around stuff to go do things, jerks!

Is it hard to wrap yourself around for example a vertical pole? Isn't it just hold the control stick a bit to one side, while raising the head with the "raise head" button? Wouldn't that just wrap the dude around the pole?

Are the controls and game mechanics really that hard?

It's Twenty serpentine people. You gotta zag.

The confusing thing about the controls is because you have an acceleration button you want to use the control stick to steer, but that's not how it works. You go in the absolute direction you push the stick.

To move faster you need to go in a zig zag pattern.
