Just got to the top (well almost, couldn't quite clear the spire because I only just got off the plateau) of Hyrule Castle I didn't find any cool weapons or fashion  But I found a bunch of money and fancy arrows so I guess it was a worthwhile excursion in the end

Gonna get this on Wii U with a Pro Controller today or tomorrow, pretty goddamn excited. It looks so good and I'm glad to hear that you all seem to be having a ton of fun with it.

Deep in Hyrule Castle and the music is absolutely amazing. Hanging out in Zelda's Room and the music is chilling

Having just left the plateau I think this is the champion of March's three post-apocalyptic robot killing open world games so far, and that's really saying something since the others are drat good too. It's so quiet and reflective, just the way I like it.

Got my Switch and game and it's great obv. My only issue is the lack of an option to change targeting to a press to target press to cancel thing, and instead you have to hold it down. Pretty sure both 3DS remakes and WWHD had this option so unsure why BotW doesn't.

Only a mild issue, but still definitely not how I'd prefer to be playing. Oh well! Still too busy exploring to go climb the first tower, love dis poo poo sooo much

Does this really count as a speedrun? I edited your link so that it's time-stamped to part of the end boss fight where he dies as basic Link and then comes back with tons of hearts and equipment, like he stitched two different playthroughs together, and then uses that equipment (like the magical force field) to beat the boss.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Yes please Just hit it with an arrow. Doesn't matter what kind, just make sure you get a hit in and the thing will happen. No fighting. Also, general pointer for y'all: when you get to the first village, talk to the guy that's not from that town, he'll have a stupid easy sidequest that opens a Very Important thing, and after that he will start helping you with another, way more interesting, sidequest that'll have opened up at that point.

Thinking of getting botw on Wii U. Without reading the last 10 pages, does it run/look good on the Wii U? I would think Nintendo is above gimping it as a message to gamers that they should but a switch

I think they're just routing. The idea being that eventually skill level will reach a point where the death won't happen.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Thinking of getting botw on Wii U. Without reading the last 10 pages, does it run/look good on the Wii U? The difference between the Wii U and the Switch version appears to be pretty much entirely resolution. As far as I've heard, they both have frame rate issues to about the same degree. It's just Wii U is 720p, Switch is 900p (or 720p in portable mode), that's about it. I'm pretty sure the draw distance is even about the same.

All I've done so far is wander round, look at stuff, murder bokoblins, get toasted by a guardian and cook a spicy mushroom lunch. And find a poo poo-tier sword and bow. And I'm having so much loving fun doing it!

You'd think that but they took out all the gamepad stuff with the Sheikah Slate so it wouldn't have an advantage over the Switch version. Consensus seems to be that it runs about equally badly on both consoles though.

It's so weird that I was tech baby enough to get a Switch because I wanted to play in 900p with a few added sound effects, but tech illiterate enough not to be troubled by framerate stuff. I was reading "horrible" as taking serious fun away from the game and that is not at all the case. I don't really notice it. So for anyone on the fence for either version know that it should absolutely not be a deterrent. Game is incredible by the way. So far it's everything I was hoping for, and that was on the level of "This better enter my personal canon."

My favorite thing in the game so far is when I bypassed a small puzzle by climbing over a wall. Like, instead of trying to open the door I just climbed a wall and got into the area I needed. It's so weirdly refreshing .
