People have review hardware but I think they're prohibited from cracking if open. It's confirmed in the boot they're using PCSX ReArmed on ARM hardware. I think early claims it's a PSTV were a combination of speculation and jest, but I wouldn't be shocked.

Regardless of the hardware, the PAL bullshit should result in a mass recall 😛

anyone else ever feel like that there's some game out there that they want to be playing right the hell now, but without actually knowing what that game is (or sometimes even what it entails)

or is that one finally weird enough to just be me

whether this applies to other people, or if it's exclusive to me, well i guess i couldn't say :v:

It's really just two specific rooms in turtle rock, the rest of the dungeon was about as good as a normal lttp dungeon (which is, not great by zelda standards since the series has come a long way but not terrible either)

With all the recent talk in the thread over the last couple of weeks of people giving their GOTYs I've realised it would be super fun to bring over the Top 10 of the Year thread that I've run a few times in TV IV. Before I get started on knocking an OP up I just wanted to check, is this something that someone already does in this forum? I don't want to go stepping on somebody's toes :ohdear:

Turtle Rock is the Mario level, so the enemies have to be overpowered to show how cool Mario is to deal with them on a regular basis.

If it makes you feel better, imagine if you had gone to Turtle Rock before Ice Palace. Like having Chain Chomps chew through your health bar? How about with green mail?

The chain chomps were challenging but I felt like I had counterplay and when I got hit it was my own fault, the fire bars in the dark room and the eyelasers guarding the chests are the real fuckers

At a little bit past getting the flame hollow in Darksiders 3 I'm not having too bad of a time (though it did crash on me once, but I figured it was time to call it a night at that point). Hit stun does generally exist for small enemies though that was also true for 2 in the beginning, so I'll have to see if that still holds later. Whip combos feel good and have clear purposes, though the flails are a bit underwhelming. Fighting big enemies seems to be heavily dependent on getting perfect dodges, which from what I can see will basically stop any attack chains they are doing and give you a chance to get some hits in but usually not a full combo. Otherwise they are pretty aggressive. You also can't dodge out of most or all of your attacks so you have to be conservative in attacking. Enemy damage does not gently caress around even on standard difficulty and if you take one hit you're usually taking several, so it might honestly be better to play on easy. I ran into a miniboss in a side room that could basically one shot me and took quite a few deaths.

I'll see how it holds up, but right now it's about on par for me with the previous games and is different in what it is going for. It seems a lot of reviewers didn't like the lack of loot from 2, but I disliked the loot so it's not a negative for me, and graphically it looks fine but basically everything after last gen looks pretty much the same to me anyway. Main annoyances I have are that the lock on has some issues and the camera runs has problems in tight spaces and around pillars.

I also keep forgetting that there is a sprint.

honestly turtle rock is a hard area but it doesn't stand out to me as being particularly nasty. like yeah you have to deal with the wand tracks but whatev'.

to me, the real nightmare in all of lttp is the room where you have to keep casting ether to reveal the invisible floor, and it's only visible while the spell is animating

For the eye lasers: If you charge a spin, Link can move without changing directions, and he’ll hold his shield out to his side, so you can move into and out of the way of the laser without dropping your guard by holding the charge.

Legend of Zelda: Does Link Ever Kiss A Girl?

Like, not cheek but lips. And who made the first move. Who was it? Please let it be Zelda :)! (I'm Sorry! Link and Zelda NEED to be together. It makes me mad if Link doesn't go with her cause he's the one always saving her and crap and suddenly a girl comes out of nowhere and barely helps him and gets his heart. IT WOULDN'T MAKE SINCE!)

Zelda def smooches Link at the end of a combined Oracle games playthrough but it's a one-way smooch. I remember being slightly scandalized as a kid by seeing kissing in my video game.

In Zelda 2 doesn't it end with the curtains closing and Zelda and Link kissing? You just can't see it.

Is there a highly regarded list of what were considered the best books of the 20th century? When I think of film I think of AFI’s for instance. Is there a good and reliable one for books?

I generally use the Booker Prize shortlists, they're pretty reliable.

Also someone brought up the Vita TV and god I'm sad I missed out on those, weren't they going on closeout for $25 at some point?
