I was pretty good at dodging/flurry rush in BotW and couldn't figure out what I was missing in TotK until someone clued me in: you need to jump laterally to dodge vertical strikes, and you need to jump back to dodge horizontal strikes. Completely trivial after that and I felt real dumb.

Ive been playing a bit of BOTW and the game never tells you this. What an odd oversight.

Is it not introduced in the combat tutorial shrine in Kakariko?

I stopped playing TotK last summer because I wanted to scrape the save off my switch and play it emulated on my PC with my 4k OLED. I have a 5600x and a 3080 - what kind of performance can I expect? I mooched around a bit on the opening islands and it looked and ran much better than natively on the switch but I've heard it can be taxed a bit more in cities etc - but my assumption is it's still going to look much better than on the switch, right? or are there other performance issues i should be aware of

Well that makes perfect sense, because  Like I said, I was really good at it in BotW but suck at it in TotK. But like that other poster said, I guess it's easy to forget

Yeah I don't wanna go back and reinstall BotW just to test it out but the way I remembered it a dodge is a dodge, there wasn't a match-direction-to-attack requirement which was my problem for most of TotK

It crashed a lot but this was right after it came out, I think just an emulator issue

The most noticeable issue with Yuzu will probably be shader-related, the emulator needs to process shaders when they're called. That means either stuttering the first time a shader is used (means a lot of stuttering early on) or missing graphical elements (also mostly early on).

Alxprit posted:I think the issue is that people need to decide when they are done with the game, rather than a linear game funneling you into it over time. And it's hard to decide to say "I'm ready to be done," as a personal thing. If you get into a mode where you're grinding for something it gets lovely. I finished BoTW the night before ToTK came out and in BoTW I had gotten to the point of playing with clear objectives like "find those last shrines" and "I'm gonna to finish upgrading this armor then I'll fight Ganon" and it was hard to get back into the mode of just exploring and letting the game unfold based on exploration. For instance, I got it in mind that my objective was to upgrade my battery and I discovered just wandering around the depths looking for charges and zonaite is a terrible way to approach the game.

I take back what I said about the game feeling less grindy if you let it unfold "naturally" in the case of the infamous "Call from the Depths" sidequest.

Would love a remake of Majora's Mask that takes advantage of the lack of restrictions they have. Not just a reskin like the 3ds ones. More towns people, bigger clock town, more dungeons even if they are mini dungeons, better utilization of the items outside the dungeon. I know it would never happen because remakes are never enhanced anymore. I got spoiled early on with super Mario all stars and Link's Awakening dx.

No fall damage? That's balanced, by the time you get that upgrade you played enough to get where we were going. Post game ability that stops Zonite wings from despawning after two blinks of the eye? Never.

Finally got BotW. I've only ever played LttP. I'm so annoyed with it a lot of the time, but I cant stop playing. I cannot believe they thought up the weapon damage system to begin with, and then actually went ahead and implemented it. And no way to repair! Just really gives you that anti-player feeling from the NES days. Stamina, especially as it relates to swimming, really should have been adjusted as well. I remember memes comparing it to Dark Souls at launch, it comes nowhere near it in terms of difficulty, or most other ways. But I keep wanting to come back. I usually try to not look anything up during a first playthrough of a game but I've gotten basically no hints about recipes aside from the item descriptions so I used a website to track my inventory and tell me what I can make. Why do most of the recipes just...do nothing? According to the website anyway, there are a ton that offer no health or status bonuses. I like having the lay of the land, I'm not all that deep in the story but I have basically the east half of the map exposed, sometimes at my own peril. I did reach the northern lab and get the ancient equipment so I was able to go back to the central tower and defeat the few surrounding guardians and reach the top. I've completed the elephant beast but not much else as far as the story goes. Perhaps owing to the fact that I've stayed in the east so far, enemy variety is kind of disappointing. And what with the weapon condition degrading, I'm often conflicted as to how to mine poo poo. I try to keep an iron sledgehammer, but failing that, using the bombs makes the gems fly to gently caress. I'm not even sure what good they are really, aside from selling. Racked up like 16 korok seeds, also no idea what they do. I assume the counter on the loading screen, one of them is how many shrines you've done? If so, I'm up to 29 I think. I've gotten 2 stamina upgrades and the rest, hearts. When I found the test of strength shrines, I thought I was really in for it when I got to the major one. Easy peasy. I assumed there was just the one set of those but I've discovered there are at least 2. I like using the powerful weapons to just dummy hinoxes but I keep having fomo about how I'm going to deal with end game poo poo if I wear out the good weapons now. Feels like its going to take forever to beat this, which is good, but I'm hoping to get this and Tears done before the Elden Ring DLC drops.

turn your korok seeds over to mighty hestu at lookout landing to expand your inventory. the recipes are just kind of fun, but you really just make them to improve that benefits of any edibles you pick up that have bonuses to hearts, armor, damage, etc; note that any recipe can only have one bonus, so just slap that ingredient together with stuff that gives you a bunch of health back

oh wait botw. you'll still turn your seeds in to hestu, but he's in a different place you should have run into on your way to the village the game guides you to early in, after which point he moves somewhere else. i think he tells you where after that first meeting?

he's on the road winding up the mountain northwest of the stable by the field of dead guardians that leads through a gate into a spooky forest to the east. i don't know what the stable is called. there's a dog.

There’s a Korok on the side of the road leading into Kakariko village that’s very easy to miss, especially if you don’t follow the breadcrumbs after first leaving the great plateau. Go here and do this quest:

This is really the only quest that screws you over if you overlook it early in the game. Nintendo should’ve done a better job pointing you to it after you leave the great plateau. I also recommend going to the Hateno Village Lab and doing the story stuff there to unlock the full potential of your Sheikah Slate, if you haven’t already.

Eventually you will stop worrying about your weapons breaking and embrace throwing them in an enemy's face when they are near breaking (but it really helps if you collect Korok seeds and give them to Hetsu to expand your weapons inventory).
