I'm gonna take one big bath then get a pedicure on the 11th.
From the 12 till 16th just homemade chili, limeade and quick shits whenever I see a loading screen

I thought as much for megaman and ended up having to go to three different stores, so i'm pre-ordering this time.

Also there's pre-order bonuses

also midnight-release type events are, according to the cashier, pre-orders only

I was looking back at my old BotW videos, and stuff like this feels like the biggest reason why horses will never be my thing in the game :getin:

I know it won't happen, but I really wish the master cycle would just be something you have right from the start in TotK.

That needs to be in the base game. I never got the dlc and knew the cycle existed but seeing it in action makes me furious I never got to tool around on it

I'm gearing for it for the first time (the last time I beat BotW it didn't even exist!) and while I wouldn't say it's too hard yet, it has way, way more steps than I thought it would. These DLC shrines are pretty nuts, and I didn't expect I'd be tasked with doing them all at once. I figured they'd just be 20 additional shrines to do whenever!

but I don't think I like Master Mode tbh. The health regen is just too ridiculous, and it's been especially obnoxious for these redux blights fights. 10 total arrows for this waterblight prick? and his regen kicks in during his long rear end transition animations? gently caress off!!!!

The DLC shrines are the best shrines, and the DLC dungeon is the best dungeon (I really like Vah Naboris too).

This is what my eShop preorder confirmation mail says:

"Payment will be collected no sooner than seven days before the official release date, and the download will start immediately upon the successful completion of payment."

So I'd say yes?

Yeah, I think had these shrines existed at launch it would have taken some of the sting away from the no-dungeons thing, because they are much more involved and clever in the same ways dungeon puzzles are

Might try that with my collection of only the finest lynel bows. Each of the blight bosses already got lots of arrows to the face.

Probably go back to it after I shove a sword and a bunch of arrows into Ganon and declare victory over master mode.

Common misconception that; that fun is relaxing. If it is, you're not doing it right.

My Switch came with a copy of BOTW and all the DLC installed on an account the old owner left me the PW for, I played through the game and beat it, then took a big break, then picked it up again and decided getting the bike would be my new objective, then left off after doing like... 4 steps of the quest.

I picked it back up again a few weeks ago and powered through it in a couple evenings and I'm now kind of like "ok, now what?" - would have been a lot more fun if I'd done it earlier when I had more of the game left to explore.
