okay so zelda thoughts: clearly that image of the goddess with the seven magatama/tears or whatever they were is hinting at seven temples, right? we're getting temples back? my brother mentioned you don't see any shrines or towers and that he didn't think fast travel would be a thing, and my response was all the fast travel points are gonna be floating above the main landmass, and you'll be leaping off em. there's a bunch of text in the opening bit of the trailer that i thought was hylian but my brother informed me it is zonai, the barbarian set peoples language, which i guess is not fully translated at this point? big ol nazca glow lines. one looks like the goddess and one kinda looks like the windfish? also the bit with the rock link grabs and then zips up on is like stasis, but improved? same as the return of dungeons i hope for i really hope there are some actual tools/items this time. i want a hookshot so bad. not a lot of footage or things to really discus but hot drat, when link landed on the glider birdmech thing i laughed, because i had read folk complaining about the lack of the master cycle, and just imagined the devs reading the same complains and giggling to themselves about what they had yet to reveal. also also i really hope the glider needs to be fed apples or whatever, like the master cycle. that would be very funny to me.

nothing I loved more in botw than when Zelda says that the blood moon has arrived and I just think "Correction. With my master sword and full set of ancient gear, I am the one who knocks! Guardian despair and suffering shall begin anew!" Ostensibly, I just needed more ancient arrows to defeat Ganon but it's so satisfying to chase Guardians down and slay them.

kalel posted:been on a pokemon crystal kick recently. I posted about this idea before but I really wish they would release a pokemon game with the art style and design of the Gen 2 or gen 3 games but with all the new Pokemon. Maybe there's a rom hack that accomplishes something like that but I wouldn't know where to look The game you are looking for is "Pokemon ultra shiny gold sigma". It even includes mega evolutions and Alolan regional variants. A quick Google shows people mostly love it, so have at it my friend. I've always been partial to crystal clear myself. It's both more and less difficult than a normal Pokemon game, allows you to start in any town, and everything (gyms, wild Pokemon) level up with the number of badges you gain all the way to the full 16. You can also start with objectively the best Pokemon, dunsparce. |

Sarah Cenia posted:orbs, is splatoon 3 worth 60bux or should i wait? I don't know how much 60 dollars is worth to you, but I'll tell you that the new Splatoon is the bees knees and exactly what you need to clear your head of roleplaying putting bullets on some dude's head. It has a great campaign that will teach you everything you need and rather quick online matches so you'll never get bored when you move into the long lasting portion of the game.

i recently fixed my 3ds so it works so ive gone back to my favorite game series of all time: yokai watch. i never did finish 3 before it died since ac:nh took over my life , so im finally playing through it. i really hate the new battle system but gosh, i love this series so much. also nice to play after the fact so i can just stockpile codes for items and coins. i do wanna go back and make a new save file on yw2 as well because gosh, i love the story and the yokai in that one. |

I decided to be a sucker and buy the steelbook version of Doom Eternal from limited run. I never got around to playing that game because I was so pissed at Bethesda for cancelling the retail version and making it eshop only, and normally I loathe LR on principle for being collector bait but in this one case I can put my feelings aside. Now I should probably go back and finish Doom 2016

thinking I might pick up the switch versions of the new dooms just to play with the gyro. anyone have any experience with playing them on the pro controller? I’m all in an gyro after playing splatoon 2. still haven’t picked up 3 because I got so burnt out playing 150 hours of 2 earlier this year |

skyward sword, besides the cdi games, are the only zeldas i haven't beat. the art style where everything fades into impressionistic paintings was very cool but i could not get past the motion controls.

Even something as abstract and cartoony as Super Mario Maker can be immersive, all it takes is having a tight, well-designed gameplay loop and an appealing visual style and/or characters. It’s all subjective though, a lot of people think Skyrim is absolutely captivating but I never really got into it. My most immersive experience ever was Forza Horizon 4, English countryside + cars = mmmmm yes |
