the shred is strong in that song

i wonder if they double checked all the engrish to make sure that everything in the lyrics jived with what they localized names and stuff too, or if the songs don't mention anything related to the game

I have on good authority that the pre-sales to the game are pulling Zelda-like numbers.

Sounds like they should start making a third game.

wait, which Zelda?

I might be in the minority here, but I absolutely love the fact that my map is on my controller at all times. I've always wanted that kind of second-screen functionality when playing games like this.

it just seems like a waste to have a wireless controller i always have to have wired into the wall. its not a complaint, i like the idea of having the map, but i hate the gamepad's poor design for battery life

i feel like i'm a million miles behind everyone else, but...

how exactly is exploration level calculated? what do the icons on lit up squares mean? i assume a check mark or a golden icon on the tile means i've completed the relevant quests in those hexes....

With a little more polish it would be the GotY and frankly the only reason it isn't to me is a combination of the weak plot (which I could ignore if not for the flaws) and the nagging design decisions scattered throughout. It reminds me a bit of Demon's Souls in that the core of what is there is so strong that I can look beyond the obtuseness in a lot of places. It's worse that Demon's Souls in that the obtuseness gets in your way a lot more and the game is significantly more complex in a basic 'play this' way.

being on the wii u doesn't help this, either
