You don't need a Switch for BotW, though, so that's not exactly a point in its favor.

LionArcher posted:Update. Reddit has a guy with an early Wii U copy, doing an AMA. Shown screen shots (no real spoilers, and talks about frame rate. )Game runs great! Looks very good, and only dips when it's a combo of heavy weather effects and a lot going on. He says it doesn't effect the experience much, and is loving it. That's the news I was waiting to hear.

axeil posted:so were all the skyward sword/twilight princess reviews "BEST GAME EVER HOLY poo poo" before release? because it seems that's how all the reviews are trending and i'm getting worrying amounts of hype seeing them all come in. i mean the friggin' kotaku article said the only con was that you can't remap the buttons. Yes, both TP and SS were given a glowing reception at release. Skyward Sword less so, but Zelda games have always been number one with a bullet in review scores.

The Switch looks DOA to such a degree that even if Breath of the Wild runs like the Last Guardian on Wii U I still wouldn't get one. Hell, I regret buying the Wii U, sort of. Hyrule Warriors was great but Bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade X were my big hopes for that console and they both kind of sucked!

One thing in the Eurogamer review that I kind of leered at was the whole "the writing is worse than in OoT and MM but that doesn't matter anyway!" I mean, the scripts in those two were nothing to scream about anyway, but I still remember the casts. Oh, well. More likely the NPC's will be closer to those in Twilight Princess, which had maybe two characters who were remotely memorable.

Bust Rodd posted:So how is the sword//weapon play in this game. is there a Zelda game that it's more similar too? I always felt like the swordplay in WW was the best, and I just want to gauge how LONK handles himself this time around. It's way more in-depth and I am getting my rear end kicked regularly. All weapons have basic slashes and charge attacks, but there's also a perfect guard and parry system and enemies themselves tend to be much smarter about how they fight (especially with bomb spam).

I feel like Nintendo's persistent inability to understand how modern games "work" played to their advantage this time around. Like, open-world games aren't supposed to be like this. Most of them boil down to ten thousand collectible icons on a map and a lot of empty space because developers are worried that players will get aggravated if they feel like there's too much content they're missing, so everything is signposted and labeled and collated for our convenience and it feels like running down a checklist after the first couple of hours or so. Nintendo meanwhile created this gigantic map with a huge variety of biomes, puzzles, and activities with only the bare minimum of tutorializing and then just kind of shrugged and walked away because they never got the memo on the hand-holding part of the design.

BigRed0427 posted:Ok, sold off most of the junk I had been collecting and got over 1000 ruupies. Now I can unlock the Great Fairy. Yeah, never sell any kind of enemy vendor trash. You'll need all of it for something or another. If you need fast cash, stick to selling ore. You'll need that for other purposes too, but at least it gives you so many Rupees you can easily restore your stock. Don't sell diamonds, though.

I finished collecting all the spirit orbs, doing the one in the snowy mountain area last and instead of fast traveling back, I decided to walk it, which was an awesome idea. That "boss monster" respawns, yeah, and they're scattered all throughout the world. Beating them nets you a bunch of ore you can sell for quick cash.

Harrow posted:Even rubies or sapphires? I thought those were necessary for weapons or armor crafting or something. (If I can sell rubies, I'll be pretty happy, though.) As far as I know all the gems are used for crafting in some capacity. Everything is used for crafting. Lizards and flowers are used for crafting. Most of the gems aren't terribly rare, though, and they sell for so much dosh that you won't need to drive yourself crazy farming them. Except, again, diamonds. They do drop out of ore deposits (I was lucky enough to find one) but it's a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of thing and otherwise they're handed out as rewards for fairly involved sidequests.

Your Computer posted:I've been wondering, what's the "intended" route in this game? I've been to a lot of really terrifying areas (central hyrule, mount lanayru, that horrible tower with all the lightning wizzrobes and black/yellow lizalfos) and fought a lot of stuff I have no business fighting with like 4 hearts and a 12 dmg sword. I went to Kakariko pretty early, as well as the Hateno lab but then I just kinda went all over the place after that. I think I read someone in this thread suggesting Zora -> Gerudo -> ??? I can't really remember. The game nudges you towards the Zora first, I think, since the first memory hint directs you to the base of Lanayru and the Zora encounter you on the way. After that I think it's anything goes.

Harrow posted:Speaking of those guys, is there a good trick to fighting the ones where the ore weak spot isn't on top? The ones where it's on top are really easy--just climb up and beat on the weak spot--but when it's on their back or something I have a hell of a time. The only time I killed one of those was by running in circles around it painstakingly blowing off its arms with bombs and getting in a couple hits each time (while trying not to let it fall on me when it leaned forward to rebuild its arms). It was... not a fun experience. Fucker didn't even drop anything but ambers and flints, too. Just climb on its back, drop off so that you're standing on the weak spot, and start swinging. You'll hit it anyway.
