All blood moons do is respawn enemies you've killed, the primary function of which is give you another go at killing them and taking their loot. You can pursue whatever goals you like at whatever pace you like.

Botw's weapon durability seems a lot worse at first when all you get are sticks and branches, but eventually you get metal weapons and later the master sword and it's no more than a minor annoyance of switching weapons occasionally.

The blood moon also respawns fruit in trees, weapons scattered throughout the world, things like that. So if you see a good weapon somewhere that isn't in a chest, take note of its location and go back after a blood moon.

Most useful to reobtain the sword behind the shrine in Zoraville which is a pretty worthless weapon but looks incredibly badass.

The controls are fine/easy, it's the micromanagement of your kitchen that eventually gets the best of you Might be fun to work through at least the first world...

Quote-Unquote posted:Should I generally pursue the plot though? Like, does each blood moon make it harder and I'm hosed if I haven't progressed enough I typically recommend following the plot for a little while because doing so gives you access to a few optional unlocks and a secondary main quest that will have you exploring the whole world (the things the quest has you do are otherwise unavailable before that point even if you find the places you're supposed to visit). Here's a tip for monsters and fighting: The amount of damage a monster does to you is almost always purely related to what weapon they're holding. Take that weapon away or get them to use a weaker weapon of some type and the damage they do when they strike you will be decreased. Do note that certain enemies do have unarmed attacks and I don't really know how much damage those attacks do because it's usually pretty easy to just batter an unarmed enemy until they die. When monsters start gaining more HP, they don't gain attack strength either. You can have enemies with hundreds of HP but if you give them a stick to hit you with they'll still only do 1 damage. Steal weapons, find ways to make them drop weapons, go all out to defeat enemies. Be sneaky, loud, stealthy, resourceful, ranged, melee, explosive, environmental...the number of ways you can defeat enemies in this game is staggering, and you will only keep discovering new ways to do it. Right at the start of the game I discovered that enemies will throw rocks at you if you're up in a tree and they don't have a bow. Then I discovered that you can hit the rocks they throw with your own arrows and the rocks will fly back and hit them in the face. The game's combat can either be boring or entertaining. It's up to you how you want it to be out in the overworld.

My experience with Overcooked is that my wife absolutely hated it at first, but then got mad at being bad at it and insisted that we keep playing to get good and beat the first few levels. Now we're gradually working our way through and she loves it. I can see this game being a miserable experience if you're with people that can't admit fault and get too serious about games, but if you're with normal people, it gets pretty fun. You just have to be able to laugh about poo poo going south very quickly. My six-year-old is also getting pretty into it now, but we're still at the point where I'm doing most of the heavy lifting and just sort of guiding her to handle some of the tasks. My four-year-old just wants to set the kitchen on fire. Looking forward to getting a second set of joycons for family fun.

BotW is do whatever you want: the game. The only thing you can do wrong is go online and ask other people how to play it. That is why it is so good. I put 100 hours in and beat Ganon before I read a word about it online and it kicked rear end. Thank you for reading my essay.

My wife and I are big fans of Adventure Time, and while watching her play Super Mario Odyssey today, it occurred to me that this template would be perfect for an Adventure Time game. Finn and Jake could travel around to the various kingdoms of Ooo and help out their respective denizens. Instead of using Cappy to possess other creatures, you could use Jake’s shapeshifting abilities to complete challenges and collect uhhhhh some kind of crystals or something I guess. The final world could be the Nightosphere where you face off with Hunson Abadeer at the end. I think you could even design the graphics to look pretty close to the show’s animation, perhaps even more so if it were a 2D sidescroller. Anyway this is my game idea, by Weedle, age 29.

There is a new Adventure Time game coming to Switch that gives off a bit of a Wind Waker vibe. I hope it’s good since most of them have been poo poo except for that Zelda 2 clone one.

I agree with the first sentence, which the second one contradicts oddly enough. As for how I played, I tried not to look up everything but I was reading the thread a lot after a week or so of playing it, making note of tips and tricks and whatnot. Still have to beat the game by the way, man that game is big. I have some right side of the screen popping up stuff, a defect, I only play in docked mode. So just talked to Nintendo and will be sending it in, hopefully the warranty isn't lame. Now I gotta ship my switch proper, I guess bubble wrap or something, can I put shock absorbers in the box, be kind UPS guy.

The gameplay is serviceable if not spectacular, but at least it felt like a game that its developers cared about, unlike the later ones that feel pretty lazily thrown together.

The only thing I really dislike about BOTW on a second play (bothered me the first time too, but less) is realizing that I'm going to have to do some inane poo poo to finish the task at hand and it ends up taking 5 times longer than expected. Like, everything is a process and sometimes it really clicks and feels great but sometimes it just feel like the game doesn't respect that I don't have all the free time in the world. I was trying to do the thunder plateau shrine last night and I can't remember the last time I was so annoyed at a game. it was just layers and layers of bullshit just to accomplish the most simple puzzle.

But you see the game doesn’t respect that this fella that is playing through a pretty big video game for the second time in less than a year doesn’t have all the free time in the world. No free time. To do the optional side quest. For the second time.

Actually it's not my second time doing it. I skipped like 70% of the shrines the first time and wanted to play the DLC but my save is on a friends Wii U so I started over smartass. I've played like 15 hours of it in a month I'm not exactly barreling through it. I'm jut burned out on playing it for an hour here and there and accomplishing practically nothing 1/4 of the time. Pug Rodeo posted:What’s so complicated about it? If I remember right you just stasis knock a few orbs into the plateau and then put them in their respective dents. Not complicated, I just came into it out of arrows and had to go back so I could knock them off, and before I figured out I could do that, I was trying to figure out how to get to the tops of them, which was a huge pain in the rear end. That comboed with the constant lightning and the inability to climb was just a huge unfun pain. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Jan 15, 2018 |

Not everyone that's already finished it played it for 150 hours. You can beat the game in like 20 hours if you want to. Whoop de doo I've played Zelda for like 50 hours in a year, I shouldn't be criticizing something for being a pain in the rear end. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Jan 15, 2018 |

Quote-Unquote posted:Should I generally pursue the plot though? Like, does each blood moon make it harder and I'm hosed if I haven't progressed enough? I could be wrong since this is only based on my personal observation but I'm pretty sure the only thing that scales up the difficulty of the game (by spawning more dangerous versions of enemies) is completing one of the four main dungeons. It's possible that shrines completed, etc also factor into this? but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with blood moons, that's just the game resetting the world when the memory stuff becomes too much to handle (it's funny, you can cheese them to happen more frequently by cutting down a bunch of trees and breaking crates and moving items around and poo poo). Take your time, do the shrines. Feel free to go off and explore whatever looks cool but don't forget to occasionally just take the road from point A to point B, that's where you'll meet a lot of NPCs and pick up a lot of sidequests and you can easily miss all that if you constantly gently caress off into the wilderness and insist on climbing every mountain instead of taking the road going around it. It's a chill game and you can totally go at your own pace.

Botw link could easily be his own distinct character with glider recovery, cryonis platforms, stasis (maybe as a down+b counter move?) etc . Hell go nuts with it and add in weapon durability where his A-attack weapons break and get replaced with new ones with different properties

Mario I'd say drop FLUDD and the cape swing. Put the spin attack back on down-B and turn side-B into a Cappy throw that can be used offensively and also for recovery
