I’m going to be standing outside my neighborhood Best Buy fifteen minutes before they open to pick up my copy as early as I can, then walking home and spending all day/weekend on the couch justifying four years of anticipation It’ll be the first Zelda I play on launch day ever (even AoC I had to wait till a couple days after) and I am loving hype Is this what being an adult is??? 12yo me would be green with envy

I'm never doing the chalice dungeons again though edit: MokBa posted:I’m using PTO and I am going to be setting an alarm to start playing it the moment I can.

I miss that feeling when botw was still pretty new and I put in a ton of hours into the game and think I saw everything. But someone posts a new 5 second video showing off something I've never seen/done before, and I'm like "holy poo poo this loving game!" and pick it back up to put in more time. And this happens repeatedly. Like elden ring had extremely good spectacle, exploration, and sense of mystery/awe but it never came close to that feeling I'm trying to describe with botw.

Elden Ring really needed climbing and a glider. But so does pretty much every 3rd person adventure game.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Are there any good videos or something that explains the tech behind BotW? Like for instance when you're way up high and it feels like you can see most of the map. I know it's not really rendering everything and you do see pop-in sometimes as you get closer to things, but overall it does a pretty good job of seeming like everything you can see from your vantage point is rendered and not some visual trick. But I'm assuming there are tons of visual tricks used that are integrated seamlessly. Like how there are times when a big mountain or location like Hyrule castle appears in the distance but seems a lot closer than it actually is or bigger than it should be at that distance. Not really about the distance stuff you're asking about but this is a pretty good video about BotW's visuals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By7qcgaqGI4

So are there any guidelines for cooking good buff items? Cooking +attack food is pretty simple but a potion for a longer effect on that and other stuff would be nice. Is there a specific ideal ratio of critter to monster parts? Should I save the miniboss ones for special circumstances? Also, will I reasonably find the dragons doing their thing just by exploring? Found Farosh but I wanna upgrade my tunic because it’s good fashion and lets you see HP.

Yeah, just run around enough and you’ll see all three of them eventually. Farosh is probably the one most people see first.

There's one where you do need to climb a specific mountain (north of Hateno) before it'll start wandering around.

Should I save the miniboss ones for special circumstances? if you want to get super-detailed about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/63c915/cooking_in_breath_of_the_wild_getting_the_most/ tl;dr: -Monster Guts, Tails, and Keese Eyeballs are the most useful monster ingredients for cooking, don't waste your rare miniboss parts -Adding a dragon horn to anything maxes the meal timer at 30 minutes -Cooking in the half hour before a blood moon will boost your meals -As a general rule, potions tend to be less good for potency but better for the length of the effect because of how much time monster parts can add to your dish. You can't make a Level 2 Attack Up potion since that would require 5 bladed rhino beetles + a monster part, but you can use 1 bladed rhino beetle + 4 monster guts to make a Level 1 attack potion that will last ~13 minutes

I believe you can also add food into your potions. So 3 bananas, horned beetle, keese eyeball, which would make a better potion. I'm not 100% because I'm not at home (and the Wild Cooking app isn't letting me confirm it), but I think I did that a week or two ago.

I always just assumed any combination that has both food and critters/monster parts would result in dubious food but apparently the important part is that if you use a critter you also need to have a monster part. In that case 2x Mighty Carp + Rhino Beetle + 2x Keese Eyeball would give you Level 3 attack boost for ~9 minutes Augus fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Apr 24, 2023 |

I wasn't going to do a BotW replay, but after seeing some 4k 60fps footage I just had to give it a shot on PC. Holy hell what an improvement. Feels like a whole new game. I debated the Second Wind mod but as it stands I think I'm going to stick to a vanilla experience. There's no way I'll make a significant enough dent in the game before Tears comes out so I might as well keep it simple. It's going to be hard going back to the switch after playing like this, but I am about as excited for TotK as I was for Elden Ring at this point. Just completely bought into the hype.

I'm doing a lazy play through right now where I don't redeem any spirit orbs but just do the main quest (getting towers as I need/want them and shrines that seem fun)

I started up a new game on PC as well. Linkle mod is super cute and well done. 4k60 is awesome but the real star is super fast shrine/overworld loading. Hope they somehow manage to improve load times. I’d be really curious to know what they were able to do technically with ToTK that they couldn’t do for BotW due to BotW being a WiiU game.

After I bounced off of Second Wind due to the shrine quality I decided to resume my 10th-or-so playthrough on my Switch. I just got the Master Sword and respecced to maximize my stamina. Now I'm going to attempt the trial of the sword with only 3 base hearts. For like... the third time. Hearty food and 30 minute defense meals go a long way.
