Dizz posted:I need to get back to doing that, but re-doing the interactive map for the seeds i already have is gonna loving SUCK since I had like 650 last time i remembered. The Bowser amiibo will give you hints for purple coins, don't think there is any other way to highlight them. I wasn't thinking i would 100% this seeing as I still haven't finished all Korok seeds in BOTW, but I haven't even started the post game and I already have almost 500 moons so I will probably not be too far off the mark by the time I finish.

Finishing up Mario. Better than 3D World, worse than Galaxy 2. It's way short, and less challenging but still fun. BoTW definitely has it clenched for best Switch title this year, unless XC2 manages to be excellent, but I have low hopes at this point based on what we've seen.

Andrast posted:It has 836 moons, how is it short? And these post game moons are way more fun to get than the normal ones. The two that I got in the forest by doing weird jump combos because I didn't know that the gliding guy existed were the two most satisfying moons in the game so far. What I am saying is make your own rules, kids. Basically think of each moon as its own minigame

Speaking of Xenoblade 2, are all of the combat videos online still from the demo/showcase version? I know that the HP of enemies was initially bloated so combat could be explained in one go. If there are gameplay videos of trash enemies that don't take forever to kill, I would like to see it. If enemies are that much of a sponge (apart from bosses or unique monsters) in the final version I'll probably pass on picking it up.

The world design looks really cool, but the gameplay(and voice acting in the trailer, to a lesser degree) are convincing me that it is not a game for me Yup, XB gameplay is vaguely mmo-ish where your base attacks are auto-attacks, and you selectively use abilities that are on cooldowns. XB2 is a bit different, because your initial skill bars fill up by auto-attacks instead of timers, and other skills build up from using those initial skills, but it overall looks like it has the same feel as the other XB games's combat.

If enemies are that much of a sponge (apart from bosses or unique monsters) in the final version I'll probably pass on picking it up. I mean, in the E3 video, they showed us a fight where he killed a spider in 23 seconds solo, which isn't weird for a JRPG. Later on, they kill a bunny with a full party in around 10 seconds. It's only later on as they are fighting higher level enemies that are stronger that things get longer, around 30 seconds to a minute. Which, again, isn't that long for a JRPG. XB gameplay isn't something I'd call fast, but it's also not that slow unless you aren't using your abilities and stuff right, something that we won't know for sure from looking at these stage demos.

I'm trying to look up how to make a character look a certain way in Skyrim but I'm having trouble cause I don't know what to look for. Every WWE game you just search CAW and you get hundreds of builds for how to make them look a certain way but if I search for a Skyrim character build it just referred to like, what skills to train.

Al Borland Corp. posted:No you don't hold y to extend the throw, you press z and y to dive, you have to hold y when you dive or you won't bounce. Yeah, I realized that after I'd posted: turns out I just have slow fingers. Probably has something to do with mostly playing post-alarm-clock pre-verticality. Mahoning posted:Press "down" on the left stick. The reason I say "down" and not down is because it of course all depends on where the camera is at the time. Ah, thanks. I'd been pressing down-down enough times that I assumed it wasn't the right button. My only gripe with this game, which is pretty minor but stands out after the respectfulness of Zelda, is how heavy-handed they are with tutorializing you. I don't need to see the same cutscene every time I improve my ship and while you can press + a few times to skip a few of the cutscenes, they're going to try to tell you about a move you've already been using every time you change worlds. That's after the three or so dudes bringing up the action list, and the dozen videos showing how to shake controllers I'm not even holding separate from the console and have no intention to shake! I know a lot of the delight in the game comes from its childlike sense of wonder (and Mario's babyfaced expressions) but it'd be nice if they also treated us like adults. Especially given their demographic statistics.

The motion controls aren't the only way to do the whirling cap move. Get Mario into a twirl and throw the cap out.

KingSlime posted:People are getting the end pretty quickly, which isn't a huge deal given the total content but it makes me wonder: is it disappointing to have seen all the variety of environments roughly 25 percent into the total experience? I beat the game somewhere between the 10-12 hour mark, and have so far collected just over 300 moons at 20+ hours of playtime. I actually prefer the way they've structured things. The "plot" is basically a 10-12 hour tour through all the game's worlds to get you acquainted with what the game has to offer, and then after that you get to spend the next 30+ hours picking out where you want to go and what you want to do at your own pace. It's the perfect way to handle a collection game like this. I'd much rather it be this way than having each world slooowly revealed one after the other over the course of 40 hours. Also, another brilliant thing about this design is that it means there are hardly any worlds where everything is easy or worlds where everything is hard. Every world has a full range of easy on up through very difficult content, which means that the end-game doesn't revolve around you being stuck in one environment for too long, so no single world ever gets too stale. And yeah I'm nowhere near done with it, content-wise or enthusiasm-wise. I'm still pumped for the next time I'll be able to sit down and play it. kuf posted:The motion controls aren't the only way to do the whirling cap move. Get Mario into a twirl and throw the cap out. This basically doesn't count though because Nintendo somehow figured out a way to make the twirl even more obnoxious and less precise to do with the controller than with any motion control.

The main story of Odyssey takes about as long to work through as Mario 64, and the post-game moon collecting is way more interesting than collecting all 120 stars in 64 imo. And there's a lot more of it too. Only way I can consider thinking Odyssey is "too short" is if you beat the story and then just shelve it, but that seems like something an insane person would do.

Hammer Bro. posted:
Cappy reminding you of movement mechanics is just hiding a loading screen, if you skip the cutscene you just stare at a black screen instead. Zelda had gameplay tips in loading screens too, there were just far fewer loads considering the nature of the game. On top of that, there is a lot of movement tech that they never tutorialize, or wait until the very end of the game to do so. The hat dive for example.

I looked up the last 3 coins in Bowser's Kingdom because in total between main game and post game I spent like 3 hours looking for them (not always actively) and couldn't take it any more. They were on a lantern next to the giant Bowser head Otherwise I did it on my own.

Al Borland Corp. posted:What was your final time? It doesn't show up or I don't know how to check it. It didn't take all that long to do but maybe the fact that I stayed in each kingdom until I'd found everything available has something to do with it. I went through them carefully and methodically so when I came back for the postgame it went by really fast since there wasn't much else left to find. I liked doing it that way because I liked learning every nook and cranny of a level before moving on.
