RCarr posted:Your choices are: there are still plenty of the grey consoles left in the uk, shopto even has the master edition of zelda going. not that it helps any if you're not in the uk but still. reminds me of the n64 days, wonder if this means my zelda order will get canned the night before and i'll have to spend the whole of friday searching for a copy only to then have the store i originally pre-order from phone me up and be like "hey, got some, you want some? come get some!" like i did OoT. those were some loving rollercoaster days.

hey zelda thread, should try to finish skyward sword by friday? i've had it for years and only recently ripped the disc (late last year) started playing through it on dolphin with a real wiimote. i am up to the desert mines area which i believe, going by zelda tradition, is like super early and just before i get the master sword? or this is another wind waker situation where there's only like 2 dungeons left? thing is i keep getting really annoyed by the constant hand holding that really brings the games pace to a crawl. and how annoying it is to fight correctly. should i persist? yay/nay

sigmachiev posted:Yeah, that's good to get some contrarian views. https://twitter.com/boulapoire/status/836339548175142914 translated thread- "I just made the Breath of the Wild prologue on Wii U. Unfortunately, it's an amazing ad for the (version) Switch. Aliasing pronounced, image less clear, serious slowdowns / jerks ... And nothing on the GamePad when you play on TV or vice versa. There are sometimes hiccups of display during cutscenes or exits of inventory. Physical power + camera rotation = framerate death. Last trick that comes probably as much from the console as from the game: a loading time of 5 seconds minimum at the return of the Home menu ... Accuracy: The data / update installment promised for the disk version is done. There may be a patch day one planned but in the meantime ... Precision # 2: The start zone hurts framerate on Switch, but not at this point. As soon as we leave the set, it's fine." edit: better translation: Strictly talking about the tutorial area : Strong aliasing Worse sharpness Serious framerate drops Visual issues with cutscenes and when getting out of the inventory Too many actions (using a power+rotating the camera = "framerate death") 5 sec loading time when you get back to the Home menu He installed every patch available The plateau on Switch is bad framerate related and it gets better after, but in the plateau it's nowhere near what the Wii U version is Vikar Jerome fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Feb 28, 2017 |

sounds like it, i'm sure they'll be some gameplay videos out soon with the leak and all. then again, the menu plays on CEMU at full speed apparently so i'm expecting 4k/60fps poo poo in a few weeks time.

This is why I have such a love/hate relationship with Nintendo. They can make fantastic games but their console hardware is poo poo. gameplay vid of the wiiu version, first 15 mins, no spoilers if you've seen the e3 footage. seems okayish? i can see some drops but yeah maybe that day 1 patch will fix it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJsn2MdHOr8

word of warning, people who are pirating the game early are setting up dedicated youtube channels with spoilers in the channels name, user names, description of videos, titles and thumbnails and its popping up on recommended lists for some people. kinda impressed at the effort but maybe avoid youtube for awhile.

Loopoo posted:Anyone know where I can buy a copy of the regular BotW? Everywhere I'm looking (Game, Argos, Amazon) are sold out of the regular copies and only have the Limited Edition in stock. I was hoping to grab the game so I could play it on release, but I straight up can't find anything other than Limited Edition and Download codes (gently caress that, same price as the physical game without the physical stuff that I prefer having). mentioning game and argos, i'm assuming you are uk, there are a few still left at places like VERY and base.com. shopto is sold out cept for the limited edition. most places are running out. Tesco Direct have some and i would guess asda might have it come midnight tomorrow. you might wanna keep checking the shopto page tho if the others don't get it, that was sold out over the weekend but then came back into stock and managed to snag a copy to go with my switch.

been playing on tv mode all day and then i switched! and i did one of the shrines on the toilet and i now agree switch is good console with a very good game. whats the likely hood of waterproofing the joycons do you think, because if i can play this while showering every morning we have truly entered the next generation. wish that pro controller was cheaper tho, i keep hitting zl/zr instead of l/r with the grip :|

Escobarbarian posted:Side quests are done! Now farming dragon scales to upgrade my favourite armor. Got two from Farosh, does - holy poo poo I just realised their names are based on the 3 goddesses who created Hyrule - does the ice one take the same route it did for the shrine quest where you shoot the stuff off its back? And where's a good place to wait for Dinraal? The ice one i noticed flies down through the canyon ruins during the day after curing it. The one near the entrance to the snowfiled where one of the memories is. Are they part of something or just world flavour stuff? I ask because i havent done any of the dungeons yet and i was trying to do that 3 cedars shrine quest, and through the blizzard i saw a glowing thing and paraglided over and lol ended doing that entire thing. Felt like i had skipped ahead in something.

I have only explored part of hyrule field, kakarikos areas, hateno(or whatever its called) its beach, islands and mountian areas and just heading into zoras domain. I have 6 hearts.The parental app claims i have been playing for 64 loving hours. This is going to be one of those goddamn 400 hour things again. I aint gonna see the credits until christmas am i.

Pain of Mind posted:This is the first Zelda I have really played since the Nintendo and SNES ones. I just got off the plateau and was told to head to a town. Is there anything important you get during the main quest progression that it is worth doing relatively early before going completely off course exploring? I am drifting pretty far away from the quest marker. You should at least follow it until you get your slate fixed for that missing rune like the next vilage after kakariko, then the game turns into pokemon snap - hyrule safari and then just go nuts.

WanderingKid posted:The one that completely stumped me were the dueling peaks shrines. It just never occurred to me the solution could be in another shrine, leading me to spend half an hour staring at the constellations on the walls trying to find some sort of pattern. Then I started just doing random combinations. Then I calculated the number of possible combinations in total. Even when I found the other shrine, the penny didn't drop and when I caved and looked it up on google I forgot the first shrine solution after I overwrote the sequence with the solution to the other shrine. So I had to google the second solution too. that shrine is awesome. soon as i read the sign i took a screenshot and went to the other one, took a screenshot and then kept bringing up the menu. hilarious thing was that i used the actual in-game camera because at that point i had forgotten we have a screenshot button now due me not having a brain.

So uh, i've started seeing white bokokins around, even in areas i've been too before and they are quite tough, is this tied to some progression? Am i gonna see more of this poo poo with other enemies? I'm basically half way through the game, half the map unlocked, half the shrines, half the beasts, a certain weapon. 300 seeds nearly i think, 120 hours. :/

poo poo, i think im nearing the end. :| my time is currently 185 hours, i have 4 shrines left and i know which ones they are too that loving one with the gerudo is laying on the control, havent found out how to make the drink yet and i havent found out how to get the ball from impa either and im not sure where the other two are 350+ seeds, finished the last beast last night, nabooris i got all the monster outfits including dark link i dont want it to end. how many quests are there? i remember hearing pre-release about 75? i think i have about 7 i need to find with 5 left i still need to finish im only heading into hyrule castle when i got all shrines and quests finished. i dunno if i will bother with maxing out outfits i have all fairies unlocked or getting all the korok seeds, then again what else am i gonna do till the dlc hits. speaking of, i apparently maxed out my bow menu but there is still one slot left? am i missing an arrow somehow in all this time? or is this reserved for some kind of light arrows during the last boss, as per tradition? don't tell me, i'm probably right.

Reinanigans posted:I mean, I know where to go for the dragons. I usually go to Lake Hylia at midnight for Farosh, one of the stables with a bridge near it for Dinraal, and I forget for Naydra. The issue is Farosh wasn't spawning at his usual spot and I was wondering if there was something I needed to do in the game to trigger him to appear there since I started a new file. i think you need to talk to impa and get the champions tunic before any of them start showing up.

poo poo, i just beat ganon. i had heard the last fight is super easy when you are maxed out so i went in with the un-upgraded *of the wild set complete with the hylian shield and master sword. it was loving awesome. spend the whole day inside that loving castle. 200 hours, 55.33% complete. gently caress yeah. guess i spend my time upgrading armour sets and getting these korok seeds until the dlc hits. work hosed up my payslip so its not like i can play mario kart until next month. :| also, i wonder if i missed something or if ts cut content/dlc because in the trailer there is that bit where all the guardians wreck a town, assuming it's hyrule castle town too.
