Astro7x posted:Amazon for me because of origin based sales tax. I live in Chicago, so I pay 6% on Amazon rather than 10+% from buying in the city or surrounding suburbs. For me, I saved $16.72 in sales tax + $12.48 on Zelda because of the 20% off. So $29.20 purely from buying from Amazon and getting it SOMETIME within the day, while I'm working anyway. Yeah at this point between my Amazon rewards card and the Prime pre order bonus, I can't remember the last time I got a game not there.

Tempted to sell my Sheikah case and buy the city slicker. Feel like as cool as the zelda case is, its something I would feel weird whipping out on an plane/train/automobile. I think I've gotten 20 hours into Zelda this weekend. And it doesn't feel like. And I'm still overwhelmed by choosing what to do. And I literally haven't traveled West in any capacity yet. Like, on my way to the non-beast related story marker early on I saw an interesting looking pond and went to check it out, which led to a ridge, which led to a canyon, which led to a jungle, which led to a road, which led to a town, which led to a beach, which led to a boat, which led to an island, which took a while to clear and oh god did I just take a 6 hour detour?

I'm staying out of the Zelda thread for spoiler, but does anyone know how frequently you can scan in amiibo? I feel like while the Link, Rider, Zelda, and Bokoglin giving solid weapons will do some interesting things for speed runs, if the Guardian amiibo really does give arrows and cores, I feel like that is a potentially degenerate way to farm those items that are otherwise fairly difficult to come across or how having a single ancient arrow helps speed runners with being able to take out a Guardian on their route.

Oh, and I didn't really like the look of the Pro going into the weekend but holy poo poo if this isn't one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever used. Going to replace my 360 pad on my PC with one of these. If you're on the fence, get it.

I probably put in over 20 hours of Zelda over the weekend and am trying to find a way to take a half day today. Goddamn. Both dungeons I've done so far have been cool, and two shrines in particular stood out to me, will spoiler their locations as they're both very very worth going out of your way for: From the fishing town in the far southeast, steal a boat and paddle out to the island in the very far southeast corner of the map - you will come up against the edge of the map trying to paddle around the enemy boat by the sand bar. Find your way onto the crab-shaped rock formation northwest of Death Mountain in the lava, the mine cart rail goes to it. Climb Down from the top of it and around the lip, jumping off the wall to float down (you probably can find a way here via minecart?). Kind of loving the way that me and the two friends who are all playing this just keep messaging each other "did you see this" or "make sure you go there" - the world is massive and dense and it definitely captured the "you need to talk to your friends to find everything" feel of Zelda. Granted I'm sure that is going to be less and less true as every inch of the game is dissected for speed runs, which are going to be amazing.

FireMrshlBill posted:reach down deep, there is always one. Zelda, LttP, OoT, WW and ALBW all have replay value to me. I could maybe do Majora's Mask once more in the future. That said, it is too early for me to say BOTW has replay value to me, not because it isn't that good, I think it will just be THAT long where I may not have the time. Unless I try to speed run it and go straight to the end. Yeah I think BOTW replays are going to be speed/gimmick runs as opposed to 100% it again. I think the only game in the entire series I haven't played more than once is Twilight Princess.

Apparently dbrand put up a note on their Switch site saying they wouldn't be selling skins because they damage the console on removal in a way they can't get around. Apparently saying that anyone making skins for the console is going to have the same issue. So if those are the kind of thing you're into, heads up.

Infinitum posted:I would honestly like a Skyward Sword HD port as I've never played it. I'm like 70 shrines into BOTW and I'm really not sure where they take the series from here. I'm not sure how they top this without taking it in another completely new direction. *That's 70 shrines with 3 areas of the map I haven't even been to, with my map marked up with "hey that looks interesting" features all over the place still. I've never had so much trouble trying to decide what to do in a game (and have relegated that duty to the partner).

Infinitum posted:That said, I still think there is always going to be room for a more 'traditional' entry into the series. This was my thought, that they could do a very linear 2D Zelda as it has been quite a while since we've seen that. Give it the polish that LBW got and it would be awesome. I'm just blown away at how dense BOTW is 30+ hours later (I wish that thing would update). I accidentally entered the castle and pretty much explored for ten minutes before deciding I don't want this to end I better bail. Having said that, there are some quality of life changes that would've been nice with cooking, armor "favorites", notes on the map, framerate in dock, remapping controls, etc, but all things I can live with. I'm pretty sure I know what "the spoiler" is from the first memory I found and each one since kind of furthers it -- all of my friends are avoiding spoiler threads too and are a little behind me, so I literally had to wake up my fiance to explain it to her just so I could talk about it. Also, restating that 70 shrines in there is a clear front runner for Best Shrine and if you haven't gone there, you should. No context provided beyond "Bring Arrows" (but you should probably be buying every arrow you see from every vendor you see anyway). Go to Death Mountain, look on your map in the lava to the northwest, get inside the crab.

I kind of want to do as much as I possibly can in a vacuum (or with limited input from IRL friends - it seriously is the Zelda 1 "you need to work with people to find everything" taken to the extreme") before breaking out a guide to find the best Ancient farm spots, find the Korok seeds I missed, and solve any Shrine side quests I couldn't figure out (seriously, what the gently caress is 17 of 24, this is either way simpler or way more complex than I am thinking).

nerdz posted:I'll literally only get a switch when Monster Hunter is out. Yup. I skipped the last 3DS one to give myself some time off from the franchise to dive into this one fresh. I loved play 3U on my Wii U, and 4 was great on the 3DS but I did miss playing it on the big screen. Hopefully Capcom is up to the task of actually making things look pretty, though to be fair I would still play it if it looked like FF7 and had a polished MH experience.

I am missing one shrine and I have no goddamn idea where it could possibly be. Hell, at this point I'm not even sure how to go about finding it WITH help. Maybe I should actually go finish the game or the random non-shrine related side quests I have left instead of spending 3 hours running around with no direction. And yes, I got the shrine in the castle.Jonas Albrecht posted:I splurged and got a Guardian amiibo at Target today. It's rad, I think I am going to have to track down the rest of the line. I got the Guardian and archer Link. They're both really, really nicely done. Scanning anything into the game isn't worth the effort unless you're doing some kind of amiibo assisted speed run.

Not something someone is (or should) just throw out there as the one I'm missing. Taking a break to do other poo poo and will give it a fresh look later. And standing by my original "Best Shrine" assessment. Location: Inside the rock crab in the northwest of the lava lake in death mountain.

Jonas Albrecht posted:My first playthrough is gonna be DLC and amiibo free. Subsequent ones will be good for messing around with the game via loot. You may want to do amiibo from the start as there are apparently rare armor drops that are only obtainable through amiibo if that is your thing. Including: Ganon's sword, Sheik's mask, some other crap I forgot but i think the OOT outfit. The benefits they offer with the shield/bow/etc they drop are really not huge as they break so quickly and you get those items fairly early, and the Ancient materials from the guardian are easily farmed later in the game should you so desire. Speed runs only appear to care about Smash Bros Link amiibo. I got the DLC but I don't think i ever backtracked to find the chests, doesn't matter. e; Can someone repost that list of Nindies with trailers and release dates?

I have either been using pro controller with my tv or joycons loose in tabletop mode at my desk. Not crazy about handheld mode or the cradle. Can't think of too many occasions I'd need to play in handheld that tabletop wouldn't work at least. Handheld mode issues to me probably would matter less for games that didn't heavily utilize the right joystick.

Doesn't get much more complete without going down the 100% rabbit hole (seriously, i'm only at like 38%). e; I don't remember the last time I played a game for more than 30-40 hours and then this comes out.

Thanks Dark Souls for teaching me how to hold a controller incorrectly, the proper way. Yeah I can't play Zelda in handheld mode because of the claw required. Much easier with loose joycons at my desk or with the pro on my couch. Master Blaster is great in handheld though. Still haven't opened Bomberman or loaded Shovelknight, but it is seeming like I'll be using different controllers/modes game to game.

enojy posted:I'm really satisfied with the way they set things up if you were to start a new game and just rush the castle, as a speed runner or masochist may do. No spoilers, but it's nigh impossible. Someone may pull it off eventually, but I'm pretty sure we won't see a "any% no upgrade tree branch only" run for years, if ever. Ehhh, I went into the castle a few times before my end run and its definitely worth exploring a good deal before actually trying to "win", during which you probably won't actually fight anything. Took me a few hours to explore the place fully. Great music, good loot, [spoiler]some great journals[/spoilers] -- go for it! I don't think you'd have enough inventory slots to do "tree branch only" runs, current speed runs are already under an hour with lots of room for improvement in castle path optimization.

I'm not a huge BoI fan but I am tempted to get it as I hadn't played anything but vanilla. Would much prefer Gungeon (or, if we're going to dream, FTL) on this thing but alas. Bomberman is still in its wrap and I'm kind of tempted to just return it after hearing about the input lag and other various issues. Seems like impressions of the release got worse than the demo.
