Looking forward to playing Zelda whenever I can actually get it, because apparently a preorder doesn't mean you get the game any more.

I feel this is a prank to get people to lick game carts like idiots, but Jeff Gerstmann's reaction was so genuine that I don't know what to think.

I actually really want to make molds out of different game cartridges and cast them in chocolate now, and it surprises me that I can't find evidence of this already existing.

Finally gave up, cancelled my physical Zelda preorder and switched it to digital. What is this hosed up world where a digital download code costs more than a physical disc and case?

I made the mistake of comparing the Switch and Wii U visuals for Zelda and the Wii U version's pretty awful color contrast is sort of a dealbreaker :negative:

I know, I know, this shouldn't matter to me, but it's noticeable enough that I think I'd feel like I was cheating myself out of a really pretty game by not waiting to play it on a Switch, whenever I can actually get one.

Is this what it's like to care whether you get a TN or IPS on your 3DS?

Hopefully you're getting the Wii U version because Switch games aren't eligible.

I meant more that in game the first item you get is literally a magic tablet and a ton of stuff revolves around it.

Yeah I'm loving the game but that's really goddamn stupid.

Also, making sprint the bottom face button and jump the top face button. I have to claw if I want to sprint jump. There's a menu option to change it but it just swaps the buttons so it's the exact same issue.

I'll probably play Zelda at some point. Probably.

Not super excited for the Switch but I'm considering breaking out my wiiu to play botw...Is it good, so far? That comment about having to claw to jump worries me.

Yes, hello, I am the one who made that comment. I've only played the game for a few hours so far, but it is extremely good. I haven't come across a situation where I would need to sprint jump, I just want to be able to do it and it feels unwieldy. Other than that, I'm having a great time cooking up frogs and peppers :v:

There is a lot of hyperbole about BotW going around, but I really am having a great time with it and it's impressive how carefully crafted and packed with stuff the world is. But what I really love is that it's the first Zelda game in a long time that doesn't force you through hours of tutorial and story before letting you just explore. It really does have that 'just dropped into the world and set off to explore' feeling of Zelda 1.

Christ, Skyward Sword felt like I was on a railroad through the entire game, from beginning to end. Even worse constantly being stopped to have Fi tell you things.

I just started up the game to find out for you, it says 'artifact', which is different from most of the 8-letter subtitles, which is 'location'.

Yeah but there's no money in this though. Gamers say they want video games to be considered art but the minute you start subjecting them to the sort of critical analysis that gets applied to art it immediately turns around and becomes "god why are trying to shove your agenda into this, just play the game and have fun, jeez."

Have you considered that the people saying these two things are not, in fact, the same people?

The selfie mode on the camera in BotW loving sucks because Link is always in the exact center of the shot. You can make him do little poses and point at stuff but good luck lining his finger up with anything.

Well gently caress. I was playing BotW and suddenly at the beginning of a fight, I got huge GPU-error looking graphical artifacts on the whole left side of the screen, and the very left edge of my gamepad. It was only ingame and not on the home menu/Wii U system menu, but jesus christ. I'm gonna leave the thing off for the night and hope it gets better.
