Game owns once out of sky tutorial. You get the paraglider doing the next quest in Hyrule field so it's real quick.

I'm probably not going to check out this thread too much mostly because, surprisingly enough, I'm liking the story and I don't want to get spoiled about it.

How did everyone get to the ice shrine and then back to the temple of time?

I glued some tree trunks together and climbed them over the ice wall for the former and walked all the way back for the latter but I wonder if I just missed some obvious solution and managed to brute-force my way through the tutorial island.

There's a climbable wall under a waterfall between all the frozen walls. I just climbed up there finally. it took me forever to figure out that area

Better world exploration. Combat is good but not Elden Ring engaging. So far it's been either I kill stuff fast and easy or it's tough stuff and I die in one hit because my weapon doesn't allow shield and I didn't notice in time.

Really they should team up and hold hands and kiss because they are both flirting around the perfect combo. Throwing a little Death Stranding in here would be sick. They gave us towing harnesses and... So far haven't needed it once. I'd love to build some roads and long haul truck some poo poo across this world.

Have you beat any of the dungeons yet? Having Gust has been pretty essential for me

So much regret doing that Divine beast after getting nearly every shrine. The other powers weren't so useful so I didn't expect the last one to be a super useful movement thing.

Saw there's a custom build of ryujin out that'll require you to purge your shader cache, but supposedly fixes the timekeeping and underground textures. Rock bug still there but at this point I've just accepted it as part of the general basic rock texture of the world lol.

Whats the link to the build?

Same; I actually had good performance with the recent Yuzu fix, but various elements were just "off" graphically to the extent that I prefer just doing it on the Switch where there's no hassle and everything just works correctly. I figured out how to transfer saves between the Switch and PC, so I can always just switch over when emulation improves.

It'll be amazing emulated once the kinks are worked out (though it's a shame it will probably never reach the heights of CEMU BotW, which had a ton of graphical/visual upgrades).

Never use Yuzu. Use Ryujinx and RyuSAK

There will be a 0 day patch like usual, then everything will take off. But we're already playing at 1080p30 a week before release so it can only go up from here

Ryujinx runs way worse for me (unless there's been a radical improvement in the last ~24 hours, which is possible). I couldn't get a smooth 60fps in it, while I could in Yuzu.

TOTK can only play at 30fps right now. the 60fps mod isn't good.

I can live with rock textures and hitchy frame rate, I'm in crashes every 30ish minutes land. The autosaves make it pretty easy to just soldier on though.

The crashes drive me loving nuts. But then I remember I'm just lucky to play early in 4k

go gamers

Ytlaya posted:

I mean, you can play in 60fps pretty reasonably; you'd just need to set the speed to 50% in shrines and cutscenes. I don't think it's worth the hassle when I can just play on the Switch, but it's pretty playable.

yeah you just explained why not to play 60fps. it also breaks cutscenes sometimes

Barreft

Infinitum posted:

The new 60fps patch fixes that.

60fps outside
30fps in shrines
Cutscenes apparently sometimes break

Which patch is that?
[LINK REMOVED BY MODERATOR]
60 fps/30fps in cutscenes is what got the new XB3 DLC to work without crashing.

I haven't really looked, the game engrosses me for so long I've just tried to ignore the disconnects

I guess there is an even newer custom build of ryujinx that should maybe fix the crash issues? Haven't tested it yet.

E: and maybe increase performance

Just changing that memory setting has me with no crashes since. So thanks for that! I'm sure I'll get one in the next 5 minutes but it's better than every 30

alternately play on a real switch which has none of these problems and runs fantastically

You're right, but paying ~$300 for an original Switch is pointless when you can emulate the whole thing for $400 with a Deck and it runs better than 540px20fps.

Ryujinx has better clouds but on the other hand all of its rocks have ugly as hell white squares on them. In the end, both emulators have issues right now.

It is kinda funny we're arguing over things on a game that isn't even released yet lol

Yeah I went there first hoping for Revali's Gale, but Gust has gotten me through much, including the Zora route. I dunno how I would've completed that without it.

This game is absolutely limitless for multiple playthroughs.

Okay I'm taking Yuzi out for a spin but despite having 30fps mod is playing at 60fos, but in the bad double speed way. I also do not see any option to toggle the resolution from 1x up to anything higher. Any of you yuzuheads know what I'm missing?

why would you ever use yuzu

Khanstant posted:

because i wanted to see what rocks are supposed to look like and dirty ryu wasn't letting me apply the title patch. i think ryu normal version can handle the patches or whatever now.

The shader stutter in Yuzu is a lot more noticeable, didn't bother with one in ryu since it was microstutters but this is lagging. The rocks do look nice

I don't think so. OoT and MM are different games doing different things, while it looks like TotK has pretty much all of BotW in it, plus some other stuff. Less a sequel, more a replacement.

If that's the boss I'm thinking of you just hop on the steering wheel and it's easy to steer. Without the steering wheel you just move around on the glider to tilt it in whatever direction. Fun fight btw. Really loved that, hope there's a jet bombing range later on because I could go for some more of those.

Anyone know the intended solve for getting the crystal out of the gisa crater cave? I’m guessing it was the rockets but I hadn’t seen them before so i wasted one and fuses the other to a stick which did nothing so I was SOL. I did eventually cheese it by dropping a wing down, grabbing the crystal and hopping on, then rewinding the wing back up top

Sounds like you did it the intended way op
