It also crashes every time I try to log into EA's stupid account system from nearly 10 years ago, so I have to go through the process of declining the online stuff every time I want to play. I am unable to figure out why this happens and the internet has been no help so oh well.

edit: I mostly wanted to chill while drifting around wide corners and listening to eurobeat but it seems EA has other ideas, like trying their goddamndest to keep me from playing their video games

Are you playing on Steam or Origin? I tried playing not to long ago with a wired Xbox 360 pad and had no trouble and yeah that drat EA thing is busted because that morphed into an Origin account. Have you tried logging in with that?

He's a pretty cool comic book character, and I've been a fan of his since I was like 12. I never played the Saturn game, but I had a friend who owned it when I was in 4th grade. The creator of Scud is a kinda weird and funny guy, and he also made the Sarah Silverman Program.

But then again, I try to ignore him as much as possible. He might even be a member of the populist Sweden Democrats for all I know.

I thought that he was all about that type of joking, then grew up and toned it way down. I've never watched him and only the knowledge I have of him is just in passing topics, like this one.

My full on ignorance is showing but I can't remember another mainline Zelda/Ninty game that had DLC like this? Not a big Zelda at least?

I can only remember Fire Emblem having some maps etc but I wasn't thrilled with how that was handled overall either but there was a heckuva lot of content in the main game and the additional stuff didn't seem too major.

The additional dungeons better not just be sitting there in the main world in BotW but not accessible unless you pay, taunting people. Wouldn't be best taste.

They could have an NPC with a quest marker to tell you about the dungeon with a link to the store page like in Dragon Age: Origins.

It's really, really good as of this last build. There are a few minor balance issues wrt to boss AI and some of the unlockable characters but I know for a fact they are trying to fix those ASAP, and the only remaining bugs (that I know of) are extremely minor and tough to find. It's entirely possible that waiting a few days or a week before playing it seriously would be a better experience due to them wanting to hotfix remaining after launch, but it's like 96% perfect right now. And even if they launch the game without fixing some of the 'worse' stuff, if you haven't played 65 goddamn hours like I have while trying to break the game, you almost certainly won't notice it when you're having a great time with your friends punching and comboing everything. The difficulty curve is super cool right now, challenging without being unfair, very on par with the original game. And you can crank that difficulty up if you find yourself having too easy a time, although I would not recommend 'Fungondo' mode to anyone for their first playthrough.

The beta I've been testing only has about 1/3rd of the game's story in it, a limited number of gangs, shops, playable characters and locations, and no ability to purchase extra moves, so I can only imagine how much more open of an experience it will be after the full game launches. When I first tried out a beta build like last summer, it gave a very poor initial impression due to the first thing happening in the game being very meme-ish, the combo system being underbaked and the enemy AI being a loving relentless clusterfuck, and even a month ago the steam beta was hardly something you could call 'fun', but the amount of progress they've made since then is simply astounding. It's obvious they spent an enormous amount of the dev time making sure the underlying mechanics and building blocks of the game were solid before worrying about tuning the game to actually be fun, and it looks like that approach paid off.

:cool: Thanks for the response. I'm looking forward to it more now :)
