Just got a Switch and it's basically my Sonic Mania console right now. Really contemplating if I want to buy Breath of the Wild or not. Why can't AAA games be $30 instead of $60 :mad:

BotW is worth 60. Also it won't ever drop because Nintendo.

Based on my limited ten hours of experience with it so far, it's TOTALLY worth $60.

It's this. At best you can hope for a "Buy 1/Get 1 50% off deal" that some retailers do from time to time. This is the chief reason why I am only buying physical games for the Switch.

Yep. Game is ENORMOUS.

And literally anything you can think of is at least 50% to work. Like, I felt like a total moron when I swam through an icy river that hurt me and then saw a floating log just go by next to me as soon as I was done.

Did you try Cryosis? I used to to very slowly cross a pond only to realize after the fact that there was a boat not ten feet from where I started my crossing.

I'd wager that (assuming you have all the upgrades) that if you try ANYTHING in Zelda, it'll work. I was never let down, at least, but then again I tend not not be very creative.

It's a shame I see people call cryo useless so often when it's cool as heck when dealing with cold water or working across bodies of water with low stamina. Plus all the people that miss its really obvious defensive utility before and in the zora DB.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Yeah, I've been playing Zelda for months on end and still feel like I haven't seen half of it. It's *that* kind of game.

I did, but there was a little cave overhead bit that I didn't think I would have clearance to get under. (turns out I would have - there's a shrine in there, I bet people will know exactly the one I mean when I say that - and it was clearly designed to get to in several different ways)

Game rules. The only thing I've tried that didn't work was throwing a metal weapon at an enemy when I was about to get struck by lightning for wielding it. And I can't confirm that I didn't time that wrong.

e: also why did I think Mario x Rabbids dropped today

When you type botw are you saying the whole name subconsciously or are you saying like "bot wuh"

I wonder, is it possible if you use Magnesis to float the metal item near the enemy? I know it can trigger for stuff lying on the ground.

There are certain combat shrines that are in shallow water and you can use cryosis to form columns for the guardians to crash again.

What was broken? Do they accept work orders for the dpad? I didnt think they had redesigned it yet.

My game of the year is tied pretty evenly so far between Nier Automata, Persona 5, Sonic Mania and Crash Bandicoot :)

This year has been good for games in general, it's shocking.

face buttons stopped working completely or it would act as if left was held down indefinitely, another goon in the spla2n thread has the exact same problem. I looked at the letter and they just replaced it. There was even a specific pre-set "select the problem" for the exact problem on the nintendo support site!

I didn't think much could top 2016 but 2017 has been strong so far. BotW, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mario Odyssey. I don't get down with Nier or Persona but god drat have we had a good two years.

Yakuza 0 is my goty so far

BotW just hasn't clicked with me
people talk about how much there is to do in that game, but the world feels kinda empty to me

I'm probably dumb and bad at games, but I wind up following the roads to the next story objective and not seeing much to do other than shrines in between

There's a lot of "that's neat" moments with the physics, but my combat style mostly boils down to hitting things with clubs and swords :shrug:

I feel the same way about BotW, it's personal opinion for me but I liked the overworld and getting around it but everything else was just kind of boring me to tears. Big empty world with copy pasted bokoblin outposts that lead to some of the lamest and most boring dungeons in the series? Ehhh.
