I try not to fast travel, so I don't go straight back to the big lyres after finding a small one. If you do that too, Hedrigall, you must have a better memory than me. But note taking should work too.

Some vault chests are harder or impossible without the required skills at hand. Finding a cosmetic item in a chest is certainly an improvement over a sword that breaks in ten hits anyway. If youre looking to beat all of Hernes tasks then you will need to beat every vault with most of the loot, and all the myth puzzles. It is possible to max everything without having tobpick up every resource like Ambrosia. Theres also a Mastery System but games this packed with content arent really something you'd place twice.

Hedrigall posted:I just use my memory I tried to challenge my memory with those by not immediately returning to the big lyre and doing a vault or two first. I am usually really bad at memorizing arbitrary things like phone numbers or pins, but it worked quite well. I think I had to return to two of those lyres because I had some notes jumbled. Those are just short sequences with only four notes, so it is way easier to remember than some telephone number like 0246493615.

I can't find enough purple adamantine. I upgraded my body armor to level 4 something like 8 hours ago, and only now had enough to get my helmets to level 3. It'll be a long while before I get them to the next level. I killed Medusa. Not sure if there was an associated quest. Very very similar to her fight in Odyssey. The reward was pretty puny for 20 minutes of plinking arrows whilst the audio glitched out.

I don’t think I would have liked the game as much playing on a higher difficulty, I finished the game on easy with just a couple armor upgrades and maxed out weapons. I could still die if I did something stupid but it certainly removes the need to grind before progressing. The game is more than long enough as it is.

Finished the game. I was very nearing burnout near the end. I would say I did maybe 1/3 of the vaults and am missing 1 wraith lair. But I maxed out the axe and sword, which made the game super easy. 36 hours total. Fantastic game and makes me not want to go back to Valhalla. Really feel like this is going to be one of those 'missed gems' that people talk about in a few years.

As someone that hasn't played BotW, how does Fenyx compare? I thought the first 10-15 hours were fantastic, but my enjoyment has been slowly decreasing since. I expected the regions to have more variety. It does have a pretty budget feel for a full priced game. Half of the enemies are lifted from AC Odyssey, and (as far as I can tell) all the bosses are reskins of the basic enemies. And most of the puzzles really aren't great. The vaults began to feel like chores. Still, a pretty good game, definitely gonna continue.

I don't think it's a great game to binge on. Granted, that's exactly what I did, but it feels like it would be best to do a few hours here and there on the game. I did 36 hours in the course of almost a week. I wish I had stretched that out.

Rinkles posted:As someone that hasn't played BotW, how does Fenyx compare? Fenyx looks better. It's not even close but not a fair comparison. The combat in Fenyx is much better in play and in not having your weapons break constantly. Bows are much better in BOTW. In Fenyx they just plink and plonk, but in BOTW they are useful. Story isn't even close. Fenyx actually has time put into a story. BOTW has a couple cut scenes that are loosely tied together and every so often you meet someone who says something. Exploration is better in Fenyx because there is more to do and find. BOTW has a poo poo ton of empty space. I think BOTW has a slightly larger oveworld and definitely more variance in types of terrain. BOTW armor changes what terrain you can wander around in, hot or cold, basically and has some combat bonuses. Fenyx is only combat bonuses. Puzzles are a toss up. I think it is a matter of preference. I think Fenyx has fewer annoying puzzles. BOTW has a bunch that you know what to do, but are frustrating to actually do due to controls or system jankiness. Overall, Fenyx is the much better game. They are rightly comparable. Fenyx is BOTW, but more so, is a very fair description. If you like BOTW, you will probably like Fenyx. But going to BOTW after Fenyx will likely seem very dull.

Ubisoft games are often mechanically sound, only their structure can lead to burnout if you try getting the platinum. Games like Horizon are smarter about doling out their content over their runtime instead of feeling too overwhelmed. There are 282 unique pieces of loot, half of which is strictly cosmetic variants. I think this is far better than having a Diablo system of random crap, or Zelda's iinsistince on swords being nade of chocolate.

If the season pass was 20 I'd get it. 40 is crazy for what will amount to 25% as much content as the main game.

Yeahhhh, IFR has nothing on BOTW. BOTW is leagues ahead. There may be some minor gameplay improvements IFR made with the benefit of coming 3 years after BOTW, but BOTW remains one of the greatest games of all time. It's far, far more than the sum of its parts. It's a completely engaging immersive world, with moments of real beauty and awe. IFR is a clunky-looking BOTW wannabe. It's a 3D explorable checklist with 3 or 4 loud faux-Greek dudes yelling quips at the player constantly

I should've done Athena's missions earlier. She buffs archery and gives you one of the better phosphors (heals you), unless those are randomized.

Fenyx is just a better BOTW. It uses its space a whole lot more better than Zelda did. About 10 hours into BOTW the awe had worn out when I realized that there was shitloads of empty space in the game that often lead to one of three things: a shrine, a town or a stable. If you were lucky you'd come across one of the greater faeries. You could find cute little nothing puzzles but they are rarely engaging and the simple combat on top of the weapon degradation system made me not want to engage with it. It's the kind of game that was tailor made for seeing gifs of people use the power system in neat ways that you'd never be able to pull off. Having a denser and more compact world is definitely a boon. The only thing BOTW has over Fenyx is shield surfing - now that's something more games need to have.

If Fenyx's story wasn't so in your face I'd definitely rate it above BOTW but I can't even recommend this game to people because the sense of humor really is a barrier to get past for the opening hours. Otherwise it's a fantastic game just... in spite of the voice work and jokes.

Is there a way to play this game with no voice? This 'funny' dialog is loving garbage. Edit: Counterpoint- Fenyx rising's control is floaty and slipshod, the "HERE'S WHERE YOU NEED TO GO NEXT, ON YOUR MAP, HERE" is counterproductive to discovery through exploration, the animations are ok but not great, the menu controls on a console controller are complete garbage and obviously built with a mouse in mind, the tutorials don't exist unless you go to said menus, etc etc. So far it's 4 out of 10 for me. Meh. Edit: Hedrigall posted:Yeahhhh, IFR has nothing on BOTW. BOTW is leagues ahead.

I should have waited for another couple weeks of reviews before I wasted my money. edit 2: BOTW philosophy - Show don't tell. Find things your own way! FR philosophy - Go to these spots, dummies!

BOTW does the same thing. Climb something, look around, put marker on your map to go to shrine or some interesting spot, repeat. Fenyx is just a little smoother doing the exact same thing. And Fenyx does have stuff to find exploring that doesn't show up on maps. Actually explore and you'll find stuff.

Miniscule warning: it seems photomode photos aren't saved to your drive if you don't use your console's screenshot function. There'll only be an online copy (which you can screenshot). Iirc, that's not how it worked for Odyssey. This is on PS5, anyway.
