KingSlime posted:There have been too many amazing games, rogue legacy 2 was insanely good. I gotta go back and do the NG+ stuff some day Theres so many QoL improvements in Rogue Legacy 2 that I cant believe I didn't pick it up sooner. Making it so that the mo ey you have to forfeit to Charon actually goes towards him granting you stat boosts is a masterstroke. Now when I'm 50 gold off buying anything I dont feel completely bitter about having to drop 2k or whatever. And it makes sense, because Charon giving you a little leg up means each person might be leaving him more money by the time they die...

Video Game Jerk posted:I bought an OLED Switch and was thinking of swapping out the stock joycons for grey ones for aesthetics. I realized I don't know if the new joycons are mechanically better, and only found conflicting information online. Any advice as to whether swapping the joycons out is an okay idea or not?

CainFortea posted:The joycons are the same internally anyway, so yea. You could even just get the shells and swap them over instead of the entire controller. There's a firmware flag or something in the joycon that indicates its color (how you can see the joycon color in the system menus and some games), so if you do a shell swap, ideally you'd look into changing that info as well

Butterfly Valley posted:Wait you did your ridiculous amount of depths exploration at the start of the game without the paraglider? Lol No, I wasn't that crazy. I did some overworld exploration with out it, but gave up when I couldn't activate a tower or finish a shrine I found. KingSlime posted:In the meantime I guess there's plenty of indie games that are aping classic Zelda but I get the sense that none of them are anywhere near as good as the real deal Why is that? Zelda isn't a hard formula to crack but few if any ever meet the standard.

Is twilight princess as worthwhile as breath of the wild? My Zelda background: Zelda 1: started in 87/88, didn’t own it until 97, beat it first in 07? Love it. Zelda 2: struggled with it. I feel like I should try again. LttP: didn’t beat it until 09. Loved it. Windwaker: tried it a little when it came out and couldn’t get anywhere in it. Skyward sword: got it for switch, played a few hours and found it tedious. Links Awakening: charming and I love it, but paused in the middle of it and couldn’t figure out what I was doing in it. BotW: started it a few weeks ago. Game of the decade 2012-2022

The Maroon Hawk posted:This is the only way I can see them wringing a third game out of this map. Flood the world, the Rito move to the top of Hebra Peak, the Gerudo to the Gerudo highlands, the Gorons colonise the inside of Death Mountain somehow, the Zora remain underwater so the game can have atrocious underwater mechanics once more. Maybe some of the sky islands fall into the water to make new islands I’m far enough into the game to see all the story stuff, (all tears) and the implication that this is one timeline but possibly all timelines and so far in the future everything just sort of blurs together is both funny and I like it. The implication is that this is like 20-100,000 years after skyward sword in pretty sure.

I mean that was kind of the consensus behind BOTW iirc, that it was meant to “converge” the different timelines by just being like “lol all of the other games were many millennia ago and the stories have all faded into legend”. I think they pulled it off rather well honestly My personal timeline theorycrafting after seeing everything but the endgame is that TOTK establishes a second Downfall timeline that skips directly from OoT and the Imprisoning War to BotW, acting like LttP, TLOZ, TLOZ2 etc never happened

I’ll probably start with ocarina and see how that goes. I don’t know why I haven’t ever given them a shot. I played quest 64 and got really far before it dumped my game save. I do t know if it was just a freak occurrence or if I had a bad cartridge or what. My friend borrowed it and never gave it back along with a bunch of my n64 and ps1 stuff in like… 2003? Now he just shrugs every time I ask about it which pisses me off.

I remembered enjoying TP, and is the reason I even got BotW, since i'd played old school zelda only and missed everything after zelda 2. But I also don't remember anything at all about it beyond have a very "beautiful melancholy" vibe to it so it didn't make a huge impact.

I really don't know how that became popular sentiment. I guess there was an annoying period around the mid 2000s in which Zelda fans fought about whether a "timeline" existed, but those battles are long over They've been thinking about Zelda continuity since literally the 3rd game, and they care very much about it. It's never been random or slapdash, and at least half the games are about the origins or consequences of some major facet of the series. It's not even that complicated and it's absolutely not stupid! BOTW/TOTK isn't abandoning the timeline, it's combining all the pieces into one really good soup

WarpDogs posted:I really don't know how that became popular sentiment. Popular as in, many people think it or popular as in many people want it? Because it's a thing lots of people believe because of how disconnected many of the games are. I mean, you have A Link To The Past, which is supposed to explicitly tell the story of the Imprisoning War, which has at best a passing resemblence with the events of the Imprisoning War as depicted in TotK. Even their official chronology has different timelines in it. And that official book was published in 2011. Also the 3rd game was released in 1991, and any claims they had about having an internal document about the timelines started in about 2003. And even in those claims, they literally say they don't really care too much about continuity. Shigeru Miyamoto posted:For every Zelda game we tell a new story, but we actually have an enormous document that explains how the game relates to the others, and bind them together. But to be honest, they are not that important to us. We care more about developing the game system… give the player new challenges for every chapter that is born. So it sounds a lot more like the whole timeline thing is just a way to...link...the games all together for messaging purposes and not something they actually care about or use as some kind of driving force to their game design. Seems a lot more like they make a cool game, and then basically try to cram it into a lore spot somewhere.

I mean regardless of what you think of the rest of the timeline, TOTK has you see things happen in the distant past that are completely different and do not fit into any understanding of the previously established timeline stuff. It's doing its own thing divorced from the rest of the series and personally I like that.

How can you be bothered by a game being a dream in the game story, like it doesn't matter at all, it's all fiction. This is a dumb as those Superman Facts Articles or IG posts, SUPERMAN ONE TIME DID THIS THING THAT WA no he didn't, superman is not real, there's no such things as superman facts. the only superman fact is "superman is a character invented by that has appeared in " There is no cannon for anything, none of it happened, none of it mattered, make a Fan Bike flying around and bomb some monstars, get some heart containers, and push some buttons and shut up.

Mega64 posted:Link's Awakening was a dream and nobody complains about that. Links Awakening was a dream told to us in-game midway through. This endorsed book then says Termina is a dream, despite pulling this twist already and because nothing in the game supported this idea. It was a retcon put forth by somebody who had nothing to do with Majoras Mask production. This is akin to JK Rowling pulling a Schroedingers Gay.

Different people and leadership have been involved with different games, barring a few big names whose involvement has likely dwindled over the years Taking the games at face value without any timeline stuff, they contradict themselves from sequel to sequel
