I don’t see a sheika slate in any of the trailers and I also don’t see a blue sheika slate bomb in that sequence you’re referencing. It looks more like a rock that’s been fused with something to make it explode. I’m hoping you can fuse anything to have an explosive property, like meat.

Ah, yeah I think you're right.
Maybe that pole he's using turns items fused to it into explosives?

Seeing as how the mechanical parts have a battery life, I'm very curious how we will be able to expand that and how complex we can get with machines.

Modders are gonna make a Gundam.

Libluini: May 18, 2012; I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...; Grimey Drawer

If fusing bombs to weapons is real, I will make so much dumb poo poo. Bomb swords. Bomb hammers. Bomb sticks. Bomb shields. Bomb everything

KingSlime: Mar 20, 2007; Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!

ToTK looking good, though I'm having trouble getting hyped over the sky islands thing. I feel like it may get annoying or repetitive

Other than the sky islands looking meh though everything else looks solid and I'm glad weapon durability is back. Plus they said they have lots more to show and there'll be plenty of new poo poo so I'm hopeful this will be more than "BotW but with a sky ocean on top"

The new powers seem very fun, especially love how adding monster parts to weapons can influence their traits

hopefully they'll have some sort of Temple of Time Turnip that has a similar effect that you can slap onto a stick

or maybe your new powers can be improved or changed and Recall can be modified to be like Stasis again

I want two main changes, other than a new plot...

A) quick cooking with some sort of recipe book. Have the materials? Choose the meal (that you had to discover first) from a list, and it'll use up those materials.

2) OoT-like fishing.

Will I cry over the aggressive resolution scaling, anti-aliasing, and low res textures that all together make the game look like it's 3 generations old? Probably not.

For weapon durability still being in the game though? Maybe.

The problem is that you have too much money, and I found a way that I could personally solve that problem for you. Check your PMs.

Ah right, it's not ant-aliasing, it's just poorly done aggressive depth of field and super low res shadow effects trying to mask a resolution so poorly upscaled that everything over 30 feet away looks like it could have come straight out of Minecraft.

My bad.

Fundamentally I still see little reason to actually engage in combat.

Now you can get monster parts to make cool weapons... But I don't need cool weapons if I mostly avoid combat. Like in the last one I had no reason to spend my weapons to get more weapons, the only thing I had to actually fight was in a shrine, challenge, or divine beast.

I recommend relaxing and playing vidoe games instead of giving a poo poo about fake things like "framerate" or "resolution"

So you only have to engage in combat when you're in a focused gameplay section rather than exploring the world. Is there an open world game where that isn't the case

I'm sorry, Digital Foundry doesn't have charts for "relaxing" and "playing" so I don't know how much of that each game has.

The best looking 3D game this year is a remake of a gamecube game. The best looking game overall is a 2D game about pizza. As long as Zelda doesn�t run less than 30 fps it will be fine.

Lol, just use the consumables that's why they give you so many of them.

RE4 remake is nice looking but doesn�t wow me. Feels very similar to other games in terms of aesthetics. Gameplay wise it�s amazing.

In terms of visuals, I prefer games that go for a more timeless look. Which is why Jet Grind Radio is still one of the best looking games today.

that said playing xc2 before xc3 was probably a mistake because i was xenobladed out by the time i got to like i guess the halfway point in xc3, but by then i was significantly preferring xc2 anyway
