Combat is as boring as you make it. Therefore it can only be concluded that you're boring.

Why on earth would people not expect controllers to wear out? The Nintendo joycons messing up early isn't ideal, but if they are lasting for hundreds of hours it is probably fine to get another set?

This Apple mentality of "use and discard" is what some people would like to change, although I think it's neat on nintendo's part to acknowledge their faulty thumbsticks since now they don't have a ground to stand to challenge criticism to their awful QA issues.

I thought the combat in BOTW was the best of the series.

I didn’t mind the combat initially but it was frustrating in the endgame when you have to hit every enemy a dozen times. Paired with the durability system it just made more sense to evade fights where possible. That or just electric attack everything and run away with the loot.

The “screens” being mechanical is not the problem; the fact that Nintendo used glue to secure their ribbon cable connections is.

Were screens like the Virtual Boy's ever used in any other commercial products? They seem simultaneously really clever and really stupid.

Yeah stale is the word for it. I’d prefer either some light RPG elements (damage boosts, higher crit damage) via equipment or a bit more of a combo system. Adding 2-3 extra equipment slots for rare stat boost items would’ve been fun.

Funny you ask, at one point l was working on research for a Virtual Boy documentary so I know a little bit about the history of this weird machine... basically a company called Reflection Technology was trying to create a product called Private Eye that would have been sort of like a 90s Google Glass. Factory and machine workers would be able to see schematics and instructions in one eye while working on an engine. Long story short, Nintendo saw the technology and Gunpei Yokoi integrated it into the development of the VB.

Here’s an article that provides a lot more info on the tech/history: https://www.fastcompany.com/3050016/unraveling-the-enigma-of-nintendos-virtual-boy-20-years-later

That's what tonics are for!

But yeah, BOTW is easily my favorite Zelda game but I just needed a little bit more.
It's such a huuuuge game that I would have liked a slot or two for strong passive effects.
Rune recharge/strength, glide/climb/swim stamina reduction or speed, bonus gathering.
That kinda stuff.

I wouldn't want +1% damage or other piddly effects.

pixaal posted:

We don't have any details aside from the trailer.
My hope and expectation is that it's going to be the same core (to save dev time) and then added/refined mechanics.

If they use hero powers again, I hope the charges are on independent timers. It was weird having to use up the last Gale just to ensure the power recharged.

I'd also really like a pratfall button like GTA 5.

I don't remember where I saw it–it might have even been this very thread–but someone described MGS as Pac-Man with :techno: and I honestly can't disagree with that. Excepting the boss fights (which are generally interesting, at least) treating the enemies in the MGS games like ghosts who should be avoided at all costs is the way to play.
