I currently lack a Nintendo console. I'll probably eventually end up grabbing a N64 usb controller the next time I upgrade my PC because I want to replay a few games like Blast Corps.

gently caress the haters play skyward sword. The low points are low but the highs are high and it contains the best dungeon in the series to date(Ancient Cistern). The motion controls are really good and effective if you're not trying to wave your entire arm around, and add a lot of depth and fun to actions that would be otherwise routine. It's not entirely good, but the parts of it that are good are well worth the parts that aren't.

I am still kinda expecting there to be some obstacle that requires four macguffins to get past to beat the game, "you can go straight to the ending" feels like marketing talk more than an included feature.

Is there a list of what each individual Legend of Zelda related Amiibo does with BotW? There's 5 new ones coming out. I know the Midna + Wolf-link Amiibo grants Wolf Link ingame (lol I sold my console and can't encode health onto it) There's a pile of old ones as well like Ocarina of Time, 8bit Link, the Smash Bros Link, etc.

I read somewhere that one Amiibo gives a small amount of food, one gives a small amount of resources, etc The wolf one seems like the only one that makes a real difference.

No it was pretty literal. http://www.polygon.com/e3/2016/6/15/11942652/legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-ending quote:"Users may not actually get the full story depending on how they play this game and how they strategize and solve puzzles," producer Eiji Aonuma told Polygon. "Users are able to go to the very end goal without revealing why Link woke up the way he did and where he did. Whether you want to reveal the storyline and find out why Link woke up, or you want to just go straight to the goal, that's an option totally up to the user."

Stay away from SS. It's going to come out on Switch. And it will still suck, but probably less. It has hours and hours of suck that should have been removed during beta. Play MM. It was not even close to my favorite but I can recognize a great game and it is among the best I have played. It is seriously impressive what they did in that game, especially for how old it is. Just get it for your 3ds, get a walkthrough, and do a 100% and get it done. You'll be glad you did. Minish Cap is good. Oracles games are good and you can DL to your 3ds for less than $20 for the pair. Not sure what that is AUS but probably close. You already played all the good stuff in WW so you are probably okay. The last bit is disappointing compared to the first 1/2.

I don't get the hate for Skyward Sword. I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's not the best, but it's still pretty good. It also has a lot of good features in it that need to show up in BotW. The only complaints I have are that the motion controls sometimes don't do exactly what I intended, some things should have just used the joystick instead of motion controls, and a couple of the fights get tedious. Though the last one would be true regardless of what control scheme you use.

You don't need an N64 controller. You can map the C buttons to a stick. You can also map them to X, Y, RT, and RB on an xbox controller.

It had plenty of flaws, but the art direction, gameplay, and dungeon design were a great nostalgic hit for me. I played it in a few long sittings, so the tutorial popups resetting whenever you loaded only occurred a few times for me, and yes Fi + flying around were really really annoying, but i think the good more than made up for it. If I recall, there was a homebrew patch that removed a lot of the handholding too. Controls are fine as long as you realize winding up = swinging the wrong way, its all wrist flicks.

It might be terrible during a replay, but it hasn't bothered me too much. I just hold down A and she's done soon enough. Edit: Yeah, once I figured out the wrist flicks, the game worked a lot better. You get trapped into thinking "it's 1:1" because when you move your arm slowly, it really is kind of 1:1. All that falls apart when you try to actually swing the sword.

Every enemy in the game I can recall off the top of my head is some form of bokoblin or stalfos and their only attack is "slowly walk up to link and hold sword up" and ehh. Just not enough variety. Repeated visits to the same places I've been and a awful main villain just tank it for me. Only cool stuff in the entire game is the timestone things.

It will probably avoid saying anything that's going on until you're at it or past it. So it would say "head into the next room" instead of "head into the next room where you get a cut scene that reveals Zelda's love for anime wall scrolls."

Every enemy in the game I can recall off the top of my head is some form of bokoblin or stalfos and their only attack is "slowly walk up to link and hold sword up" and ehh. Just not enough variety. Besides this and the game constantly telling you where to go and what to do, I just didn't like how formulaic things felt for the first few dungeons (after which I quit). I hated earning the right to find the dungeon then finding pieces of a key to enter the dungeon then going through the dungeon itself; it just made the whole experience feel like I was collecting things nonstop. It seems like it's designed to have a very tight and consistent loop of "find things, open gate, go to next challenge" which is certainly a big part of Zelda, but I kinda felt like I was on that track too often. And since I already know that the pieces of this key I'm collecting are just there to make it harder to get to the "real" challenge (the dungeon), it felt like the Zelda trappings worked against it here. It would be cooler if sometimes you had to get these three key pieces and then the dungeon wasn't a traditional Zelda dungeon at all; maybe it's just a boss or an item sitting in a chest. I think the problem was that the sense of discovery was gone from a formula that existed to feed a sense of discovery. That's why I'm pretty happy that BotW is going for a bunch of smaller areas to explore; it means there's way less pressure for each one to conform to a pattern or to have a certain length requirement or whatever. It kinda looks more like a Mario 64 setup (lots of MacGuffins with varying amounts of effort required), which has me very intrigued. Edit: Also I was really, really bad at bomb bowling and gently caress bomb bowling. Nickoten fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Jan 21, 2017 |

With you on the handholding tho. Why not a simple 'have you ever played a zelda game before?' prompt when you start a new file? It's really baffling there's no option to toggle that stuff.

Imo the biggest flaw in SS is structural: the developers want you to never, under any circumstances, get lost. This is why every area and dungeon except the forest and the sand sea is designed to essentially be a twisted, winding corridor to your destination, and why you get a detailed map of each area anyways. It's why they added dowsing, and beacons, and Fi to tell you exactly what you need to do at any given time. It's why she pops up even when you don't want her to, in order to repeat whatever the last character said in a "videogame-y" way. Of course, zelda games are supposed to be built around exploration, but you can't really explore without getting lost a little. So instead, the developers force you to revisit every area with some new gimmick. It's telling how many of these are built around not using your items, the gear you're supposed to have built up over your journey: no items in the silent realms. No items while swimming. No items because...you got hit by a blast of hot air??? It bucks any sense of progression and makes everything feel disjointed and scattered. I liked SS in the end, though. The art design is some of my favorite in any video game - even beating BOTW fron what we've seen so far- and the dungeons are well-designed. The timeshift stones alone make it worth it.

^^ For that last one, you lose your items because the Bokoblins take them.Mr Phillby posted:Worst MM3D change is zora mode swimming, but if you never played the older versions you won't notice. There are a lot of motion controls that could be brought over to the switch. Gyro aiming for the beetle and the bow/slingshot would work in handheld and TV mode. The goddess wall drawing could be done with a gyro controller in TV mode or just draw on the touch screen in handheld mode. Sword slashes could be replaced with a button and a stick direction. The motion controls for sword slashes aren't that great and they don't always do what you want. There are times where I think "Ok, I need to swing up to the left" and it swings some other direction because maybe my hand was tilted or something. Some of the motion control stuff needs to be moved to the stick. Falling or instance. Before you fall, you have to make sure you calibrate the IMUs or you might just fly off somewhere else because they've drifted. It would be much easier to just use a stick to decide where to go. In all likely hood, the game will just be recreated with the joycons emulating the remote and nunchuck. Edit: Also, I don't like how taking the shield out overrides other items. When I'm trying to catch a bug and I jostle my left hand or go to scratch my face or something and the shield comes out. Cojawfee fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jan 21, 2017 |
