I think the previews didn’t spoil anything that I wouldn’t have expected already, and both of the ones I browsed mainly boiled down to “you can come up with lots of solutions to end up at a certain result” which, duh. But it certainly isn’t gonna hurt anything to tag stuff from these previews so whatever. I did find it a little concerning that both of the previews I read mentioned the controls being a bit difficult to wrangle.

WarpDogs posted:hard to believe Nintendo actually played these redux Blight fights on Master Mode. They're challenging in the way bosses should be, but severely limiting resources while giving them the ability for infinite health makes impossible runs too common. and that's really annoying! I've never done these fights on Master Mode, but how does Waterblight work? It only gives you ten arrows, which is not enough, and arrows appear to be the only way to damage him in phase two. On normal mode the way I ended up beating it is just leaving the arena for the empty Divine Beast, waiting for Urbosa's Fury to recharge, then strolling back in. On Master Mode I would assume it's just literally impossible.

its not a spoiler in that sense, spoiler is the wrong word, but it is new information about how the game will play that wasn't available before today and I can see this as a game where going in as blind as possible might be more fun like if you like doom and a new one comes out you don't need a preview of every weapon its fun to find them and see what they do without expectation

The most important thing about all this gameplay that nobody has mentioned? A ton of new music, that has the same vibe as BOTW, but is new and different. Hell yes. My new writing soundtrack!

I'm gonna watch the IGN preview but I've already seen a couple of news articles pop up in my news feed that can be summarized as "holy gently caress Nintendo just re-invented video games" I need to watch these previews just to have even an idea of what to do because this game will be mined for content and crazy viral clips in such a way it makes BOTW look like a flash in the pan. edit: holy poo poo, you start with the travel medallion, and you can save your assembled vehicles and just quick summon them when you have the necessary gear and there's a solution to weapon durability...... pentyne fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Apr 26, 2023 |

I thought they would be rarer and we'd have to find them and kinda plan around them, not that there would be seemingly so plentiful and disposable that there'd be an inventory screen for them. We also saw that there's about 6 'powers' total whereas before I thought maybe recall was just one of many spells. I also thought we could swim underwater. God, scarcity of materials would be the new “weapon degradation” debate for this game

On normal mode the way I ended up beating it is just leaving the arena for the empty Divine Beast, waiting for Urbosa's Fury to recharge, then strolling back in. On Master Mode I would assume it's just literally impossible. you basically have *just* enough resources to do it even if you abuse elixirs. I really have no idea how you do it otherwise, though my guess it'd be a really boring method of "use only bombs for phase 1 and for launching back the ice" Someone already mentioned the ice block stasis trick which is the right move, but that also eats your spear durability. The other trick is to use Revali's Gale. You'll nearly clip through the ceiling and the camera gets all crazy, but it allows you to do easier slow-mode arrow shots to make full use of your 10 arrows and ensure you land nearby when it falls. This method gave my wife severe motion sickness just watching me lol The main trick to prevent regen is to use bombs to at least 'tag' them between attacks, but with Waterblight this is extremely hard and often a net negative in the 2nd phase. You'll notice it takes 3 eye shots to down the blight but they (cruelly) gave you 10, which is not a multiple of 3 and means you have 1 leftover arrow you can use to tag them. That ended up being a load-bearing arrow for me because it allowed me overcome a big pretty mistake in my successful run

master mode was great in theory - more enemies, stronger enemies, AI that can't be cheesed, and bosses more willing to launch their stronger attacks at you but then let down extremely hard in execution - HP regen kicks in way too fast, and the inflated health bars mean you can go into a fight with multiple fresh weapons and break all of them because the durability isnt balanced for it

yeah the BotW way of combat just isn't meant for HP regen. You're *constantly* fighting with the engine so that it doesn't accidentally gently caress you over, and it's very silly. On the other hand I've enjoyed just ignoring combat with trash enemies, and i'm kind of glad MM pushed me toward that Instead of regen it should have been enemies can do 4x damage but so can you.

Not a deal breaker question, but a pretty huge thing I wanna know about, even moreso that dungeons: Have any of the previews revealed if you can fuse materials to weapons to repair them, or even fuse weapons to each other, or is weapon degradation just identical to BotW?

As far as it seems, if you fuse something to a weapon it resets the durability, but you can't keep fusing over and over, just 2 base items together

Just avoid the thread for the next month or so and that should give you plenty of time to sort out most of the gameplay spoilers

I'm not too worried about it, I was more leery when I thought they might be keeping the old powers and adding a whole set of new stuff on top of them.
