That happens even when games aren't leaked, because there are always poopsockers who take the entire week off and finish the game by the time I get 10 hours in.

Unless you're one of those types, in that case, sorry for your loss.

They should have remade/expanded LA and the Orcale games, and Minish too, all in the style of Link between Worlds instead. The actual LA remake toy art style is stupid, it makes a mockery of what is still unquestionably the greatest zelda game

replaying botw a bit. it's funny how i AGAIN approached the zora town from a completely different direction than the game 'intends'. just skip the long road with lizalfos archers and fly in from lanyaru tower.


remember that if you open up a chest and your weapon slots are full, you have to back out, open menu, drop the weapon, reopen chest. so annoying.

that is fixed in totk according to my pirate friend.

Botw confession, in almost every shrine where the goal was to carry a torch to somewhere/direct a lit flame/something similar, i simply cheesed it by shooting the end target with a flame arrow

Except the two blue fire ones. I actually liked the second one in akkala, was a good stealth section. First one was just a waste of time

Yeah, opening chests being smoother was revealed in the preview days.

They seem to quite like the idea of “you can approach it however you want” since the sky island gameplay looks geared towards getting you halfway up there and then saying “figure the rest out yourself.” I wonder if they were influenced by those BotW videos where people figure out how to get up to Vah Medoh without doing the questline. (If you’re curious what happens, you can reach it with glitches or a ton of balloons if you want, but the model doesn’t have collision turned on or any triggers set so you can’t start the dungeon, you just fall through it)

I loved that art style, and I want them to use it again. It was the frame rate issues of the remake that really disappointed me.

The toy art for LA Remake is great. A combination of cutesy endearing presentation and the ominous setting is excellent. It's just a shame about the rest.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Blackbelt Bobman posted:

That dungeon is fine but probably the weakest in the game. Beetle is a cool item though!

There are seven dungeons iirc but I suppose every main area is sort of like a mini-dungeon itself. Then they change them up for later sections. And then there are the silent realms. They definitely wanted to do more with SS than the Wii could handle which was why it ended up the way it was.

Sweet! I'm gonna keep going on. I am enjoying myself, and it's keeping me from looking at too many TotK spoilers.

I'm quite charmed by the art style, it looks really nice in 60fps on my OLED switch. The painterly stuff is timeless looking and the model for link really pops. It's really impressive to me how botw and TotK really took the art styles from wind waker, twilight princess, and skyward sword and melted them all together.

The paraglider in skyward sword is the worst feeling part of the game so far, like, totally pointless - such a funny contrast to how good it was to use in botw.

At least one of the channels invited to the gameplay demo had footage of this happening. It just opens a bar of all your weapons and let’s you pick one to drop, as expected.

IMO the worst part of the paraglider is you cant fail at using it. If you get too close to the ground when falling in, Link pulls it out anyways and Fi chastises you for being reckless. It should've let you get a funny comedy game over IMO.

I get those sometimes in BotW/TotK, except not a comedy death bc they forgot to write something funny instead of just game over.

Their website clarifies that this will be gameplay footage, followed by “more livestream content”

This close to release I want to try to just wait till the next day, but who am I kidding, I’ll most likely cave and watch this lmao

I only have 8 more shrines left in BotW but I'll be damned if I can find them aside from the sand seal one which I am saving. I imagine most of them must be shrine quests because I have been all over on foot and no beeps, damnit.

Have you found a shrine or two where you realized it was too tough and left with the intention of coming back later then forgetting? I had ONE shrine left on my first game and couldn't find it then I realized that it was orange on the map, indicating that I found it but didn't complete it.

Managed to snag a reservation for the Nintendo NYC midnight release . . . for the 1am slot.

No fuckin' way is there gonna be a single physical copy left by the time they let my timeslot in, much less the collector's edition.

Least I'll be able to take some neat photos of the store.

If I can't nab a collectors edition I think I'll just try and scoop the book on Ebay to go on the shelf with the Historias. Gonna take my chances at a Target or some poo poo because I saw people in line way ahead of time last time at GameStop when I grabbed a big release.

I ordered the collector's edition but I'm definitely just gonna order it digitally because who knows when that thing will actually arrive. I figure if I am suddenly broke one day I can sell it for a nice profit. But also it'll just be cool to own.

BotW for whatever reason really resists my muscle memory and I restarted at least two 40+ hour playthroughs after coming back after a year and being unable to perform basic functions. Even now playing consistently the past month I have to verify the shield parry button before playing laser baseball, even though I'm batting .900+ now
