I felt the same way about that game. It’s not very good at all once you get past the fantastic art style.

I tried to warn you all. The game is really mediocre with spurts of just plain bad sections at regular intervals. I also dont even think the art is all that great except the one secret area.

W101 is the one Platinum Game I haven't played yet. I really want to and I hope it gets ported to Switch eventually.

Unfortunately it's literally impossible to be as good as the wiiu dual screen version, which i think is why they're taking so long to bring it. If it does show up, hopefully they include a stylus mode, not just an easy mode like bayo2, but allowing handheld to use the touch screen for drawing.

anyone playing mistover or valfaris? would love to hear some goon opinions before i drop money on 'em

I only played the demo of Mistover but it's a really slow game man. Combat was slow, uninteresting and took forever cause of how much hp the enemies had. It was a timed demo and I couldn't finish it. Bad first impression.

As for Valfaris I watched Aris play it and it looked really fun but I heard it's pretty short.

I beat BotW a while back and have felt a slight itch to replay it. I never got any of the DLC. What’s included and is it worth getting? Have you all found replaying BotW was a good time?

Yeah for real. The Face Shrine was long and stupid and wasted my time. The Eagles Tower I was all right with because me getting stuck was a result of me being a bloody dingus. Turtle Rock was long and dumb and I got stuck a bunch and felt both stupid and like a drat genius when I finally figured out how to progress.

I'm at the end of the game now and I am irritated at the boss rush inside the egg. I just got loving bodied by the boss form with the spinning spear. I had to look up how to beat him and turns out you have to use the spin attack?! gently caress that. Nowhere else in the game does the spin attack do anything different from a regular sword attack. It just does more damage. That is stupid and now I am irritated.

I was told that by a couple people I complained to. Here's the thing: Ganon is also vulnerable to Silver Arrows and that's how I beat him. I've only beaten LttP once. I played it right before Link Between Worlds. There was no loving way I would know to use a spin attack

I was also told you can ram him with the Pegasus Boots but I swear to god I tried that and it didn't work. Maybe I didn't actually hit him? Either way, I'm calling bullshit on that form. None of the other forms gave me trouble. Just beat the game. Got tedious at the end but meh. I liked it overall.

I also didn't notice any frame rate problems.

If you don’t have the Golden Sword in LttP Spin Attacks are the only way to damage Ganon.

I think I had the Golden Sword... In any case, it's kinda bullshit that the game relies on knowledge from a different game for that one bit, and doesn't give you any other hints about it. The game expects me to remember how to beat the final boss of a game I beat... what? 6 years ago?! I can't even remember what I did a week ago, much less 6 years!

The game doesn’t tell you in LttP either!

Did the game actually explicitly tell you how to deal with the slime boss?

Nah, the point of the game is lampooning Sentai, so using the screen to draw out the commands felt way better than just tapping a stick. Plus the game goes into bullet time when you draw on the pad, so you don't have to rush. W101 revels in being a video game and its level of control is a part of that.

Looks like RE 5 (I guess 6 also) is on sale for preorder, it's $20 if you already own RE4 (or some of the others).

Five is more actiony than RE4 but loads of fun, competent levels and good gameplay plus great co-op with a friend. If you liked RE4 it's very likely you'll enjoy RE5.
