I played the Wildlands beta for half an hour and it was hard to imagine a more boring game. Didn't help that it was bookended by some of the worst directed and most self serious cutscenes I've ever seen.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was great and Horizon might even be a little better, I'll have to see how it shakes out.

Rise was excruciating outside of the bits where you were actually playing it, Horizon has it beat on that front already.

Well the price of physical is slowly getting pushed up too, getting a new game for less than £45 is going to be rare soon. I blame Brexit and old people.

I got the WU version for £40 from Amazon but it's unavailable now. You're screwed if you want the Switch one for less than that though yeah. Some places have been putting Switch games up for like £55.

Don't despair earlier this year they didn't mark something I ordered as dispatched until like 11pm and it still got here the next day.

They never updated mine but I've just said gently caress 'em. Nintendo gets my money directly now.

I'm tempted but I managed to pre order it months ago for £10 less than its going for everywhere now and it's not like I'm short of games to play atm.

E: though I just realised it's entirety possible that's why Amazon stiffed me lol

But I already had it preordered at that price from Nintendo's official store until Amazon got it back it stock at £48. It's literally the one video game I would pay £50+ for

Normally I'd be all over a new Nintendo console but there doesn't seem to be anything worth buying one for at the moment, if Zelda was a huge upgrade over the WiiU one it'd be different but eh.

Yeah it pretty sad. I only played it for an hour and there were tons of places where it looks like you should have used the pad with stuff, but all it says it 'tap screen to play on game pad!'
Like they couldn't even put the map on there.

I just want all games to let me invert the Y axis because I'm a mutant and I can't play with it non-inverted. Wind Waker on the Wii U is challenging for me because you can't invert the Y axis.



Speaking of: can you invert the camera in Breath of the Wild?

Yes

Both axis if you're a weirdo who plays with inverted X too

Actually scratch that, as long as it doesn't have a character as bad as Sera I'll be happy.

Zelda is the best but does anyone know if there are real dungeons or is it just lots of the mini puzzle shrines

honestly a lot of the framerate "problem videos" I saw for Zelda involved a few seconds on the Plateau starting area, which is an area that overlooks like the ENTIRE loving gameworld so I can understand why rendering and displaying all that poo poo might momentarily stutter a bit. A few stutters when fighting like 5 or more enemies but it hardly bothered me. it's really nothng different from what might happen if you played Bloodborne, which was also mainly 30fps with occasional quick lapses.

The frame rate gets really bad in towns and I hope they patch it at some point because it's 'the bad bits of The Last Guardian' bad. You're very rarely spending a lot of time there though.

I think I'm hitting hype backlash on Zelda. I'm about to go finally pick it up but the more I read hyperbolic reactions to it in the Breath of the Wild thread the more skeptical I get.

I don't doubt it's a very, very good open world game, but I feel like people are reacting to things that are general open world conventions as though Breath of the Wild is the first game ever to do them and their mind is blown. Is it just that it's both a very good open world game and also has the Zelda franchise, or are there concrete things about it that really do make it the most incredible open world game ever? Mild gameplay spoilers are okay--I've already spoiled myself on things like how many dungeons there are, so clearly I'm not going in totally blind.

The biggest thing that BotW does differently to most open world games to me is that there's very little gating, the tutorial section won't let you leave until you've done what it wants you to but after that you have all the main powers and you can kind of just run off in whatever direction you want. You do run the risk of running into enemies that are too tough for you, but if you can kill them and take thier better weapons you level the playing field pretty quick.
Other than that the world feels more 'alive' than any other open world I've seen.

Are there any decent recent games where you give a squad orders then tell it to go and see how it goes, kinda like how you could for rainbow six: rogue spear?

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is out soon and has aspects of that though it might be more actiony than you're looking for, also I think there's a Warhammer 40K game out soon that's a bit like that?

It's kind of insane that they managed to get a game that looked as good as Uncharted 4 and then make it open world on top.
