It'll make a lot of money 'cause it doesn't look like microwaved garbage, unlike most of E3.

Yorkshire Tea posted:OOT did this pretty well with Din's fire/fire arrows as I recall. There are at least a few points in Forest Temple, Water Temple and Spirit Temple where you can use those to bypass puzzles. Which is a great reference, because I haven't felt this way about a Zelda game since I was staring at the OoT box in the store twenty years ago. It's refreshing. The most enjoyable thing about the Zelda series, for me, was the sensation of melancholic vastness. Little is explained, the world feels huge beyond the borders, and you are just a moment in it. Things like Ikana Canyon in MM, where there's a deep history in the ruins but it doesn't waste time telling you all about it, leaving it up to imagination. I hope this game brings back that feeling of being lost in a world you know nothing about. The closest thing we've gotten in recent years is Dark Souls.

feedmyleg posted:I can't imagine how many hours this will take me to complete. I spent like 70+ hours on Twilight Princess, and far more than that just loving around in Wind Waker. Never played any of the Skyrim or whatnot open world games so have no basis for comparison, but this could be a very, very long play experience for me. It took me over 200 hours to beat TW3, nowhere near all the sidequests and none of the DLC. So.

Zelda weapons have never really been about DPS stats, so if they go that route it'd be kind of lovely TBQH.

Mahoning posted:So is the voice acting only during cutscenes? Because it seems the NPCs are the same old grunts and other noises with on screen text for dialogue. I hope so, full voice acting is one of the most monumentally stupid decisions the games industry ever made. I can't wait to catch every horse in Hyrule like they're Pokemon.

Dehry posted:There's a Wii U emulator and there's a piracy app that downloads direct from the Wii U servers. The games even run on Wii U without exploits if they were on disk. 90% of games currently run like a dogs butthole on it at 10fps though, so I imagine it's going to be years before BotW is emulatable at full speed.

Dexie posted:That was kind of common back in the day for 'fantasy' RPG franchises. Early Ultima was full of it, Might & Magic eventually went pretty hard on the sci-fi stuff, there's things like WARMECH in Final Fantasy. I think Wizardry had some sci-fi stuff here and there? Pretty sure Wizardry 8 or 9 had you straight up dropping out of an alien spaceship and fighting against an alien space wizard., IIRC.

Walked into Best Buy in a mall, walked out with a neon switch, Zelda, and a leftover promo keychain from SS as a freebie. I have only watched the original trailer, read no previews and no reviews, and staunchly avoided the hype. Now I hang off the side of a building on ropes for four hours with the anticipation threatening to kill me.

I wandered into some wasteland and now after a long battle I have a goddamn laser sword. The stats are silly, but low durability. This game owns hard, I won't be playing anything else for like the next year with how little I've accomplished in 6 hours. Makes Witcher 3 feel tiny. According to some Rito this is set like 10,000 years after OoT/ TP  Nintendo knocked this one out of the fuckin' galaxy. Rime fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Mar 4, 2017 |

The density of cool and awesome poo poo to do / find in this game, given the size of the world, is off the chain insane. I'd really thought the open world formula was overdone and getting boring, based on recent releases, and Nintendo has come and kicked the door down here. Goddamn. GODDAMN.

I'm having an extreme amount of fun playing pokemon snap in tablet mode, and if they don't make a free-roaming next-gen Pokemon snap game in this engine they're seriously losing money.  Holy gently caress. I just found the gigantic respawning lightning dragon which is a mile long and not even a boss.

Thus far my only gripe with this game is that the music is quite repetitive and does nothing to differentiate the various zones. You get glimmers of the old Koji stuff in there, like that riff on Lon-Lon / Kakariko that plays in various places, but overall it's pretty drat boring. I get that they wanted the environment to speak for itself and the atmospheric sounds to take precedence, but I really feel like they went a bit too far and it sort of shallows the atmosphere. I need me some rippin' flamenco in my Gerudo desert, gosh darn!  E: Also I just found a campground guarded by like 15 mountain goats. There were 20+ spicy peppers in it.

Ciaphas posted:Yeah I was trying to figure out why I'm not really engaging hard wi th this game, and it's definitely the lack of music I will concede that the chill ambient makes it very, very easy to play for 4-10 hours straight without noticing the passage of time, compared to older titles where the high-energy pumpin' jams would lead to fatigue after a while.

Some of these towers are loving intense, completely unassailable until late game. Also Skull Island is legit. Even Bokoblins will one-hit you up there, but there's some nutty stuff.

Much trial, such sacrifice. Now that the initial gloss has worn off I'm starting to see through the cracks a bit. Of course, then I struggle through a thunderstorm and watch lightning blow trees apart all around me only to find MAJOR SPOILER a shrine to loving Ruto from OoT and the game goes back to

Shrouded Shrine was legit one of the most white-knuckle fights I've had so far. So fun. I do wish there was a bit more lore hanging around these places though, that's always been one of my favourite things about the series: the vague yet tantalising history behind locations like Ikana canyon and such. Here you get these vast ancient ruins, but little in the way of meat behind them. Feels shallow.
