Finished Wind Temple in TotK last night btw, it was badass

It was on the scale of BotW dungeons rather than classic Zelda ones but the leadup to it where you're flying around the sky islands in the blizzard probably counted as part of the dungeon too, and the concept (fleet of ghost ships floating inside a giant storm cloud with a flying ice serpent imprisoned within) was metal as gently caress

Probably gonna go check out the Hylian corner of the map now so I can visit those towns before I start hunting for another temple

Gotta say I really appreciate how this is the first Zelda game that actually does something interesting with Zelda's character (besides possibly Wind Waker)

like, it actually appears to be giving her a legend :eyepop:

every star wars game with lightsabers has had to mod in proper gore/dismemberment afaik

jedi knight 2/3 had it in the base game, you just had to enable it through the console

incidentally, they're now playable on your quest/pico, sabering through troopers in VR is so loving amazing

Exploration is ill-advised.

it's okay for a boss fight to finish with a series of qtes if the visuals are adequately sicknasty

I'm realising No More Heroes basically used motion controls for QTEs and that is absolutely the best way to do it

it is not the same game if I'm not slashing the controller to cut heads off dudes

Went to JC Penny Family Photo Studio yesterday and my infant girl was a star. Big smiles and attentive head posing. She was a dream.

Toddler boy went everywhere except the little red dot that triggers the flash.

I highly recommend a Department Store style photo session for you family. It makes you shower, dress up nice, and get in the car.

they never improve because video games aren't a novel medium anymore. they're a decades old culturally entrenched industry run by billionaires who are hellbent on sucking every last dime out of people, and this is especially true of established brands like blizzard
