BOTW has some of the most unforgiving PVE combat this side of Dark Souls until you either get a bunch of upgrades or interact with a few different layers of systems, even against like the tier 2 trash goblins.

Most of Minecraft’s systems are really complicated and not really explained at all.

BOTW is not afraid to kill you at all, but the combat isnt particularly difficult. Then again, I'm 200+ hours away from when I was first learning the game, so maybe I'm misremembering

Lol, I just found out something utterly hosed up about the Sega Collection on Steam. In the workshop people ar not just uploading silly hacks that let you play as Donkey Kong in Streets of Rage 2, but also fully functioning ROMs. I just played through the first two stages of Moonwalker and it works perfectly. How the hell is Sega not aware of this? :psyduck:

I think that's a good way of describing it. I thought it was really refreshing, a Zelda game where you can actually die :v:

I watched a lot of people play it and I'd say most people died at least a couple of times during the plateau. The great thing is that it doesn't really set you back, and it allows you to figure out a clever way to handle situations. A lot of people died to the Bokoblin with the strong weapon in the skull lair on the plateau, but then most of them figured out that you can use all the environment traps, bombs, jars of oil, etc. to make the encounter a lot easier. I thought it was genius. :3:

They really aren't? The complicated poo poo is so thoroughly optional for a kid that just wants to build a castle.

BOTW will happily one-shot you on the starter island if you don't realize how much damage a thing does or lack fully developed motor skills.

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
Yeah adventure games where you never die are boring and lame. Where's the adventure if there's no threat?

Struggling to learn a new game and its nuances is like 80 percent of the reason as to why I play video games to begin with! I want it to feel like work to some degree. Botw achieved that despite the last dozen or so Zelda games being utter failures in this regard.

Also, if there's never any fear or caution on the side of the player, he/she will never have a chance to fully engage with what the game has to offer. Barrelling through content without a care in the world is the definition of dull

I mean you can’t construct the poo poo you need without looking into the combination mechanics which are a bit obtuse and over complicated. Making Steel tools is hugely important and getting there at the beginning is a huge chore with many steps.

Not quite sure if the publishers who are still around would be equally cool with Steam distributing their property for free.

Not that I give a rats arse. I can finally play classics like Boogerman, Cyborg Justice and Haunting: Starring Poulterguy without dealing with dodgy websites.

The Switch registers GameCube controllers plugged into the adapter as if they were Pro controllers, so it'll work for any game that supports Pro controllers. Of course, it will be missing the ZL and Minus button, pressing in the left/right stick, and any gyro controls so it might not be playable for games that depend on any of those.

Yeah when you connect it in the controller connect screen it pops up a picture of a gamecube controller. The just straight added system level support in a patch.

Like above said the only problems are joycon only games, and anything that uses the missing buttons. I used 2 for a long time for mariokart until I got more joycons. Worked great.

Gonna use for 8 player smash on friday!!!!

I had the controllers from old gamecube. Got the adapter for emulation and then Nintendo was cool as gently caress and threw in support for it out of nowhere! They know how people like to smash and they are really user friendly about it.

Minecraft somehow seems to meet people at their level. I've watched little kids play and they seem pretty content making huts and killing cows. Older kids get to explore caves and piece together the crafting system (which is actually a lot better now that the game lets you pick recipes rather than just giving you a blank slate to plug ingredients into). Adults get to build redstone supercomputers because they know how to look things up.

Really, Minecraft is pretty incredible considering how halfassed literally every aspect of it is.

I still have two perfectly working Wavebirds with adapters in a box at my house, I kinda want to see if I can get anything for them when Smash comes out but I feel like the hardcore who would be interested in that would already own a set or more likely use a wired controller to avoid any millisecond delay a wireless signal would introduce.

It did have some motion and pointer segments that would work fine if you're playing it docked with the joycons, but they would have to rework those segments to be playable in handheld.

e: Off the top of my head you need to use motion to open some containment locks and you have to use the pointer to use the one beam that is like a wielding gun to fix broken circuits. I think there's also a shield grab/grapple beam ability too?

The grapple beam gesture idea was awesome, less so in practice because of how flaky the nunchuk's motion sensor was. If they get it right this time, I will humiliate myself in public by doing the moves every time, no matter where I'm playing.

It wouldn't be that tough to rig up a facsimile, even if they're still using emulation. Set up an accelerometer aiming system like Splatoon's, feed the data to the emulator as though it were Wiimote IR data, and that should cover your aiming needs.

But apparently the port is currently only made of wishes and ghosts.
