Don't look at me!




Are you the kind of guy who takes a trip through the mountains and complains that the car ride there isn't a VR Six Flags roller coaster?

The game is about exploration and discovery. If you found it dull, it is probably because you actively dislike exploration and discovery.

BotW just isn't for you, and that's okay.

How long does it take Nintendo to repair the left joycon issue?
It's not horrible for me but I'd like to get it sorted. Most of the time I play with the Pro.

Yep! And I haven't even played it yet. Only watched my girlfriend play while helping out every once in a while and it's absolutely up somewhere in my GOTY list. It's a wonderful game.

I really need to beat Horizon this week so I can move on to BOTW. I'm bad at actually finishing games so I've made a point of beating this one first.

I'm bad at talking myself into finishing games. For gently caress's sake I stopped playing the new Shantae on the last level. I have Yakuza 0 and Nier Automata sitting on the shelf because Switch.

Everyone's entitled to their opinions but I don't know how you can walk away from botw and describe it as bland. I don't even know how to rebut that because I can't even understand the language gap between us

This. Yatzhee Croshaw called the landscape "same-y" and even that I'm just like, "???????" BotW is literally my favorite game of all time. My previous favorite game was Ocarina, so that stood for a good 18 years.

I sent mine in and had it back I think four days later? Might have been five. It wasn't horrible for me either but it was making two player Mario Kart a bitch very occasionally.

Do all of them come with the extras or do you have to have pre ordered it or whatever. Knowing Gamestop Im assuming it's a preorder only thing, even if it comes packed in. But Ive never played Cave Story and I got keychains from Puyopuyo Tetris and I got one of those Switch backpacks and have been adding stuff to it like those little pins or keychains you get with games or preorders and poo poo.

I just walked in and got my store's only copy without preordering. All the stuff was hilariously packed into a normal Switch case that felt like it was about to burst. I believe the keychain and the little red bag it comes in is a GameStop exclusive. You still get the rest of the extras buying elsewhere.

Mine didn't come with a keychain, just an instruction booklet and what I'm assuming is a soundtrack on a mini-CD that looks like something Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century would have listened to. But I ordered off Amazon. After I quit working at Gamestop (voluntarily) I quit preordering there too. Call me salty if you want but that place is trash.

You should work on that. It's practice just like anything else and honestly I've found it very satisfying to stick with games. Little goals feel awesome to achieve even when it's something like beating a video game. You can do it too!

Seeing as I said I liked the overworld and the climbing I... don't follow your logic? Like that's the one thing I think was handled really well.

It's just everything else in there is boring as dirt.

$30AUD for MK8! Let your mates know.

They're also listing Splatoon 2 for $64 as well, so that'll probably be the best price Australia wide if you're buying physical.

BotW has a great gameplay loop. I enjoy it because I can pick it up and play it until I feel like stopping since there's nothing explicitly making me feel like I have to keep playing like other games.

It's probably my favorite exploration game since the exploration is so fluid. An despite the combat taking a little bit to get used to, I still find it fun even if the enemies aren't that varied. Because, if you think about it, why would there be a million different enemies trying to kill you throughout the world?

I always hate horse riding in games, though.

I have never played Cave Story for everyone's praise for it makes me wany to buy it.

Though 30 bucks is steep, especially since I just got both Witcher 3 expansions for 12.

It's literally a free game on PC, too.

I'm in the same boat. Everyone keeps gushing about the game but I can't bring myself to buy a game for double the price for "reasons" and I have no interest in playing it on my PC, so my only option is to wait until it drops to 15.

I refuse to pay a switch tax on any game.

Also BOTW is my GOAT despite agreeing with the majority of complaints about the game. Breath of the Wilder in 2 years is going to be crazy.
