God I am getting absolutely wrecked by some basic mobs on the plateau. I love it. Totally have to change my approach to how I play Zelda Can report that the framerate drops I was having have been, for the most part, resolved by the patch.

poo poo, I'm actually glad they ended up cutting the Wii U's drat screen/controller thing out. gently caress that thing, it's uncomfortable, and distracting. Games like good ol' StarFox were ruined because of it imo. Just let me turn on some Zelda, sit back with a normal fuckin' controller and play. Hell ya.

No Mods No Masters posted:Well yeah I mean it would have been a lie also, just a vaguely more plausible one. That said I wouldn't write off any weird performance poo poo out of hand in a game where attacking an enemy sometimes causes a literal 1 second long hitch thats intentional, man. though I do miss the accompanying musical notes gonna grab a 5 hour energy on the way home and really sink my teeth into this poo poo tonight. cannot WAIT.

ya like the map is a literal wii u tablet with a map on it, they just show it on the screen instead of on the thing you are holding in your hand. its dumb as heck.

The Walrus posted:thats intentional, man. though I do miss the accompanying musical notes I really don't think so, this is distinct from the frame pause when you hit an enemy a la Wind Waker. I think it's a physics issue or something since it usually happens when you're about to ragdoll an enemy and the amount of hitch varies widely.

I know, I've seen the screenshots, and I'm sure the map is going to be large and all that. I'd still rather just hit Start and pull up the map or something for a check every now and then, then being forced to use that beast of a controller. Sure, I guess the option to use it or not would have been fine, but w/e. I do agree that they are full of poo poo about the reason for not including it though lmao

One thing to mention is that there is an option to swap the running and jump buttons, which I took. Feels a lot more natural to how I would 'normally' play a Zelda game.

hm that would make my constant jumping instead of attacking on the pro controller a little easier to manage, good call Shoehead posted:I've been getting a team Ico vibe from it. It might be the muted colours and the sounds of the wind. aesthetically and even maybe thematically sure, very much so. but in terms of gameplay - both the actual minute to minute game play as well as the overall design philosophy - its dark souls.

I haven't seen that in 4 hours of gameplay, maybe it's later areas or their game is unpatched or or or. I've noticed the pause on kills but it is about a quarter second, similar to WW.

I think it's the autosave every ~30 seconds that really matches the feeling of dark souls the most

I've noticed the pause on kills but it is about a quarter second, similar to WW. I think I've reached well over 10 hours and I've had that happen in two areas so far. Like, four or five times total. If you kill something huge by using a melee move with huge knockback and you're in a densely forested area and/or with more enemies close to you, there will be a second worth of hitch.

If anything, Breath's going to show just how mediocre Twilight Princess was, and how bad Skyward Sword was. "Wait, we were championing THESE games?!"

My hot take is the game looks pretty cool, and good on Nintendo for not remaking OoT for a fifth time, but i get the feeling that reviewers are getting influenced by the brand.

Trust Austin Walker, who has bounced off of pretty much every Zelda since Majora, but also remember that he's like me where he's a big weirdboy who loves exploring virtual forests and looking at sunsets.

My hot take on the gamepad-gutting: A lot of features in the game were made with the gamepad in mind, it's so obvious it was dropped for the switch. It's a good-loving call, tho. Game feels way better without having to stare down at your lap for the map or holding it up to try and scope out a location.

Kirios posted:If anything, Breath's going to show just how mediocre Twilight Princess was, and how bad Skyward Sword was. It's me, I'm the one who hasn't liked a console Zelda since Wind Waker. But to be fair, Midna was pretty awesome; she was the best part of Twilight Princess and I had a brief hope that they were finally ditching the 'let's rescue Zelda' thing with a new hosed up princess. And Skyward Sword on Dolphin is apparently beautiful; the poo poo graphics it had were the console's fault and not the game's. I also had to give Skyward Sword some credit for actually changing up Zelda's role.

I hate open world games with bland uninspired gameplay like Skyrim. The only reason i'm curious is that in the Giant Bomb video he said there's an island where you get stripped of all your gear and have to complete a task with what you can find there. I'm interested in if the places of interest all switch up the gameplay like that or if it's an Ubisoft style collectathon.

I hate bland open world games too which is part of why I am so excited for this game because it seems like it really sets itself apart from the crowd there and breathes a lot more life into the genre.
