Infinity Gaia posted:They don't really need any extra tools to just do their job of gliding, just height. If you're having trouble getting them off the ground, use your grabby hand, move the item over the open air and then back, then use recall on it. Grabbing something, moving it, then recalling it is key to doing a lot of puzzles the wrong way and it's a lot of fun. I don't think I had the time reverse thing when i first encountered the gliders not sure, but I probably never would have thought of that

Also, if anyone is having crashing issues with ryujinx, set memory manager mode to host (fast). I haven't crashed at all since I changed that. Or maybe one of the updates did it.

Wells are the new Grottos. I love collecting one slimy newt per well, because I can never remember to have enough couth to not scare em all off. And man I get a lot of Dark Souls and Elden Ring vibes. Some recursive influence there, but so far I've had several FromSoft moments where I feel like more of the team definitely has played. One was dropping into some dark gap into some place called like Altar of Bone, pitch black, except for skeletons I must fight in an arena. I have invisible floor issue so maybe in the intended experience it's not quite so dark? Not necessary for the fight really but I was worried about drops, weren't any though. Another I was just gliding around and dove to catch what I thought was a lil Korok puzzle and suddenly I'm in the dark root depths or whatever descending a root system with enemies to harass me and treasures to entice. My health is so low if I'm sloppy in combat I can easily die too lol

playing this feels like a loving slog if youve played the first already. i cant believe they didnt bother to change any of the sfx or weapon degradation or korok poo poo at all. presentation is near identical. big whoop i can build vehicles--to do what, drive around a world ive already seen? i just dont get it.

I wasn't exactly obsessive about BotW but I find it kinda fun to see what changes happened around the world. It doesn't really feel like going through the same place twice because everything besides basic geography is different.

Frogger shrine cool. Hope they do more with that than a weird treasure bonus. Just did a shrine in the air after piloting some floating blocks. In the end used two floating blocks to just make myself a staircase under this island and supported into it and got the crystal gem I needed. It's a shame you can't glue horse to glider and do a kind of drop where you and the horse dive bomb off. I swear games never let horses do anything but run and jump. Never divebomb. Sky gliding across the map rules, sorry 15 shrines I skipped over, I'm too busy cruising.

The more I play this the more impressed I am that it feels like a perfect blend of BotW and the older games. Like there’s an actual focus on narrative instead of it just feeling like an afterthought! And everything about the dungeons sounds real exciting to me.

TotK feels like playing BotW 4.0. Instead of making a whole new game, they used the MMO model and added 6 years worth of patches and expansion packs. It does address some of the problems I had with BotW. There's so much more to do in the world and side quests out the rear end. It can be a bit annoying tbqh as now key items and mechanics are now gated behind them, making the game feel more linear. Story wise it feels like what you're doing makes more sense. Like there's an actual narrative as opposed to only getting the story through collecting cutscenes. I figure those gamers who actually care about story in Zelda games will be completely satisfied. I am optimistic that things will open up getting to the depths. AfricanBootyShine fucked around with this message at 13:25 on May 4, 2023 |

I didn't mind the first island and I even did the shrines in the totally wrong order and skipped most of the content because I was going places using bizarre methods. You want to finish with the cold shrine high up so you can glide right to the temple.

I went back to the zonai mine from the start to find more ore and that and the buds all respawned. Darkness being a real mechanic feels Very Zelda to me in a way that I'm vibing with. I can't wait to do dumb stuff with Zonai Mirrors. Related, found a sky island with a Mirror Shield puzzle out Gerudo way. This is real Zelda poo poo right here.

Can't you just lift it up with ultrahand/recall for instant flat ground gliding? I'm becoming an ultrahand/recall evangelist it's literally the coolest most emergent gameplay I've ever discovered in a game ever. Every puzzle can be done Your Way

Pasting from elsewhere: Final update on main quest dungeons: There are 7 in total. 5 are this game's divine beast/traditional dungeon hybrid and 2 are in the style of BOTW's Hyrule Castle. One of which is Hyrule Castle and another that is apparently Ganondorf's Castle Also yeah lots and lots of shrines

Costco Meatballs posted:Can't you just lift it up with ultrahand/recall for instant flat ground gliding? That's what I'm saying isn't worth the time. You need some height and momentum and the recall doesn't let you lift high enough or get enough momentum for clean takeoffs. The trick works best if you have a little fall you can start off the glide with, otherwise a lot of slightly coasting above ground and then landing. I only tried for like 15 minutes before I just walked my Korok buddy over with ultrahand, but I could not get a takeoff with just glider hand/recall. Using fans and stuff I'm sure it could get going better, but I was just trying plain paper airplane style trying to launch as high as hand would let me with as much push as it lets you get. Still, it was fun trying and remembering to like, do the flight takeoff in reverse so you can rewind and get the air.

I guess they felt like since the abilities are generally more complicated, the great island needed to be slower paced and hold the player's hand more than the great plateau. Needless to say, they're wrong and it sucks

The great island almost feels like a throwback to a more old school zelda philosophy where you are systematically tutorialized to death with a sequence of 50 children's puzzles. There is a little bit of choice and flexibility in it but you really have to go out of your way to not just take the intended solutions I feel like. I'm like meh leaning slightly positive on botw overall but I do appreciate the virtues of the plateau especially a lot more now No Mods No Masters fucked around with this message at 18:07 on May 4, 2023 |

A lot of the design decisions seem like they're informed by the response to what was a format breaking game in the original botw. The Great Island is more traditional because it has to both teach people who are new to it after hearing that BOTW is one of the best games ever, and this is the time to GET IN to what your social circles are experiencing together, and also, wants to bring in fans that were not as keen on the original by giving them the scaffolding they need to be propelled forward. Being given an open ended problem is not everyone's cup of tea, similarly being tutorialized to death a la skyward sword can equally put people off. So you kinda have to ride a fine line. It's constrained in such a way as to let those who want to break out of the structure do so and start getting creative with the abilities in places, while offering a set path with gentle nudges on where to go next. I think the Plateau rode a bit closer to the open ended find you own fun paradigm, while for some this can be a bit closer to skyward sword.

I guess I get all of that, but then you leave the intro and it's completely back to being botw open ended, make your own solutions stuff. So you've annoyed people who want it the botw way, and given a false impression to people who want it the skyward sword way. Feels like it's a half measure, unlikely to please anyone except people who are inherently pleased by zelda basically. To be a bit positive, the visual aspect of it is nice though. The plateau is pretty generic in comparison looks wise
