Explosionface posted:My favorite revelation in this game was simply that there were no impassable barriers, especially invisible ones. It's made it impossible to play other games. "Oh, there's a hole in that building! With a clever glide I can go explore and noooooooope it's a cosmetic wall."

I climbed a bit further from the shrine, and rather than making resist food I just horked down apples and chicken to offset the environmental damage. Really the great thing about this game is that while they have intended ways to do things, if you find a workaround they say "sure, go ahead" instead of "go back and do it right." Shame they removed the Magnesis physics-breaking boat, though.

vdate posted:God bless you, you loving madman. This is something only a crazy person would do, but it's the best kind of crazy. All I'll say for now is that I did the same zoom-out thing you did on the Great Plateau, and then just put down the controller for a second and went 'uh....'. I'm guessing drat near everybody did. Still, it's looking great so far, and I'm looking forward to more! Yeah I think everyone does. It's one thing for reviews to say "this world is really big" and another to realize how many hidden corners there are in the starter area alone.

PMush Perfect posted:I'm starting to greatly appreciate this theme of "decide where to go next through some random, arbitrary means" thing. It's incredible that you can just go to some random place in this game and find something. It may just be a korok, but there's stuff, and terrain, and maybe something that looks cool. The closest they get to "just put a texture here so there's not a hole in the geometry" is some of the fields, and even those have their aesthetic.

If the only reason you want a Switch is this game, take a look at the WiiU offerings, you can probably get one for cheap and the game is fine on it.

The great thing about Eventide is that they give you so many toys to play with. So the challenge isn't "guess what they want you to do" but rather making use of a vast set of tools. Lightning happens more often so you can throw metal weapons at enemies, you can just shoot the weapons/orb off the Hinox (I've heard you can glide in and grab it, but either the window for that is tiny or I was doing something wrong), they've hidden tools around corners that someone might not even recognize as tools and someone else can turn into their main leverage.

I also want to play the game and finish it so I can start a new one and take a different route, see what I can do with the skills I've learned and such.

I love the temperature mechanics if you look at the thermometer in the corner. There's red and blue marks on the side for extreme temperatures that cause damage. Resistance clothes like the doublet will lower those marks, but the elemental weapons? They actually move the needle indicating ambient temperature. One of those little things that just makes the game click for me.

I got there while freezing to death (not enough cold resist, just chugging food) and assumed it would be a much tougher boss fight so I nope-d out. Went through more of the game watching it circle the mountain off in the distance taunting me.

Mega64 posted:Eventually I start getting some hits in. The main issue is Lynels have a lot of health, so it'll be a long fight and you will break several weapons in the process. This seems like a good time to talk about the actual combat numbers, give folks a sense of scale. The Champion's Tunic lets you see hp of enemies, so this is all about as transparent as a game can make it without having some faerie show up and pause everything to explain it. The attack value of a weapon is how much damage it does for each attack. Enemies don't have armor, they don't take reduced damage from anything, it's just "base attack damage, doubled if the weapon's thrown or breaks, extra damage for charge attacks [that I've never bothered to parse out]" plus some buff from whatever attack food you scarfed down (I would go parse this now but my WiiU is all the way on the other side of the room.  ). If your sword does 14 damage and the enemy has 60 health, it takes 5 attacks. For a sense of scale your starter bokoblins have 13 health, blues have around 70 and black ones have 240. That lynel has 2000 health. However you come at it, this thing is going to take some effort. On the other hand, Mega got a 24 attack sword from it instead of his 14 one, which would make going back and fighting it again substantially shorter.The damage you take works pretty much the same way. It doesn't matter if a club is being held by a bokoblin, a moblin or a lynel, it has the same attack stat as if you picked it up. So if Mega had 9 armor (I believe that's what the gear has at that point going purely off memory), that 24-attack sword would be doing 15 damage every time it hit him, aka 3.75 hearts. So if you see a basic bokoblin with some nasty spiky club don't take it for granted; if he DOES hit you, that's gonna hurt.
