Not worried about getting the game now (saw a video of the two games side by side and the graphically upgrade isn't worth $400 to me) but I would be bummed if I can't get a dope carrying case for my future switch current 3ds plus the soundtrack... wait, there's video of the wii u version?

aw. here's some very minor spoilery impressions from my first three or four hours with the game. I've tried to focus on the negatives, as they definitely do exist, even if this appears to be game of the decade. - Shrines are cool so far, bigger than I thought they would be but somewhat limited. It's surprising to to into a huge room that has literally one puzzle to solve before getting to the goal. Also not sure if they have specific locations or if there is a set progression - you need to teleport into them so they could easily have a set order that you go through regardless of which temple you've found. I'm assuming they're in set locations though as they've already had to find a way to make the overworld vary in difficulty so why not apply the same principles to shrines. set progression would remove a lot of the discovery-feeling while not actually changing much in effect though. - Main complaint with shrines is the lack of environmental variety. If we're losing dungeons it's a real shame to have their replacement have the same aesthetic through the whole game. I was reeaaaally worried at first they all had the same city in the sky ripoff music but that doesn't seem to be the case, there's at least 3 or so songs that they can feature - You can get off the plateau before getting the glider, in fact it's pretty easy to do if you're taking a long way around to get to a shrine. - in terms of the opening plateau, it's very large and very dense. however, much of what's there is guided by the story. I was hyped to climb to the top of the temple of time right off the bat only to find a sick bow, and was disappointed to find that it's a mandatory location by the end of the intro - game is hard. we've all heard it but it's pretty true. learn to cook right away as it'll really lessen the early game's annoyances. - game is huge. you're looking at 10 minutes just to run across the plateau. probably 10-15 minutes to get from the plateau to the next location (kakariko village) to the east, and that's not even at the extreme boundary of the east map. just a guess but I'd estimate 40 minutes nonstop running to go from edge to edge - speaking of running, the time to deplete stamina is very very low, making running around an annoying minigame of letting go of A every two and a half seconds. Not sure if there's going to be a way to upgrade this - haven't seen a skills menu or whatever that would indicate this is possible. There are stamina boosting foods but that will never be a permanent solution. - controls are great. little complex honestly, I would frankly prefer a 1-1 implementation from dark souls. but the weapon movesets are fun, there's a lot of freedom, and a lot of room for skill based gameplay. only annoyance is that there's no dodge when not locked on, and when locked on it's really not something that gives you a lot of mobility, moving you only a bit to the side or back. - it's very stupid the lack of use of the wii u gamepad. it's literally not used. this is silly when you have a pad shaped inventory system - can only guess that this was just never implemented when they decided to go multiplat. Would be so handy to be able to switch weapons and especially powers on the fly. you already can do this with dpad menus but it would be much easier on a touchscreen - the music! oh man the music. every single piece either directly references or evokes a past composition, which might seem a bit on the nose usually but because the tunes are used so sparingly (no overworld music), when you hear a snippet of a tune you know coming from a shack over the hill, it's like stumbling on or uncovering a distant piece of the past, which is really what this whole game seems to be about in theme. - murdering dudes with the iron hammer is great fun - koroks own - I still frankly am not sure what the composition of the game looks to be. Really hoping there's more to it besides the main quest directing you to specific shrines and then the guardians. First sidequest i got after the plateau was a treasure hunting one with a verbal riddle/clue, so there's going to be that kind of thing at least. - so zelda has been holding down hyrule castle for the last 100 years, are we getting granny zelda? and how is impa gonna be alive? questions questions That's all I've got for now but if anyone has any questions about the early game I'd be happy to answer.

RCarr posted:Don't you get a choice to upgrade your health or stamina after each shrine you complete? That, along with the stamina boosting foods, should make this a non issue fairly quickly, no? oh right, yes, I forgot, it was getting late by the time I stopped playing. spoiler for health/stamina increases every 4 shrine bits you get you can trade in for more hearts or stamina.

hm that would make my constant jumping instead of attacking on the pro controller a little easier to manage, good call Shoehead posted:I've been getting a team Ico vibe from it. It might be the muted colours and the sounds of the wind. aesthetically and even maybe thematically sure, very much so. but in terms of gameplay - both the actual minute to minute game play as well as the overall design philosophy - its dark souls.

I haven't seen that in 4 hours of gameplay, maybe it's later areas or their game is unpatched or or or. I've noticed the pause on kills but it is about a quarter second, similar to WW.

early shrine quest question hateno fort the dude in there gives you a clue about piercing a statue's gaze, but I can't find the statue to shoot with an arrow. assuming its something obvious I'm missing? Also while I'm asking questions has anyone found the treasure from the quest in the stable south of kakariko? I'm assuming it's in the mountains above that waterfall right there but I couldn't spot the cave after looking around a bunch

To the north of the main path you're following towards the next town. oh cool thanks, I ended up taking the southern path to hateno through that bobokin camp across the river from what I think you're talking about. this game is so huge it boggles the mind.

protip as it is probably pretty easy to miss the shine that tells you this basic mechanics spoiler, not even an item you can do this already this game has a parry system and perfect dodge system, both of which let you get in 'flurry' critical hits after executing the move edit: also this flaming sword is unbelievably dope. it fully flames doesn't just glow is there a way to repair weapons?

has anyone found that shine with the rotating cube over water where you need to light all the torches? I'm still stuck on it, keep coming back but I can't even work out how the mechanism to move it works exactly, I feel like there's something obvious I'm missing.

Infinitum posted:Cleared the first dungeon. Holy gently caress bring food. I love that we're all experiencing our own poo poo with this game. most people probably follow a similar path up to hateno but then all bets are off. by the way the whole scene where you get into the elephant shrine was really good also what was that weird glowing thing I saw in the mountains north of hateno?? I bailed because the moon was all red; I just came over a crest in the mountain range and the moon was blood red and there was some glowing dragon thing and had the biggest wtf moment I've probably ever had in a game

I'm surprised I haven't heard more talk about the fire sword forged in death mountain considering you get it from such an early quest (treasure hunters in dualing peaks stable). taking swings and burning the grass in the field around you is the coolest thing

Well after 30 hours I finally decided to adopt a horse. I rescued him from the moblins that were probably treating him terrible, but in doing so I accidentally shot him when he was charging at me mounted by a moblin. he was so pretty and brown I had to pay him back by making him mine. Within the 30 second ride to the stable I already had him at max bond and he's got 2 in every stat besides 3 stamina and a gentle nature. Good boy. I named him Rudolph btw

i think its really funny how i and probably everyone else when we saw the skull lake on the map pre-release pictured kind of a pond, not too big, shaped like a skull. the scale of this game is so nuts if there wasn't a map it would be nearly impossible to actually tell it's a skull shape

I kept trying to indicate to her that there was a second Goron one that she could do, but since I could only rasp feebly and she can't read chat at the same time she streams it didn't work out.

I would honestly be ok with a mechanic where you need to find a rune stone or whatever in each dungeon to activate a power or ability (some of which could just mimic equipment like the spinner), that would only work in the confines of that specific dungeon. Have a lot of really versatile stuff in the game like BotW, but for dungeons have really specific and dramatic gameplay changing powers and get weird with it without being hampered by needing to make them more versatile.

TheLoneStar posted:We literally have a minute of gameplay and almost no more information. They know they have to top Breath of the Wild, so no way they won't dial things up. For sure. All I can go on is what we have seen though and that implies the big new addition is the sky islands, not full dungeons as I think most people were probably hoping. If it's just shrines again tbh I probably won't play at release but that's just a strong personal preference I have.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I'm pretty sure I know what's going on with the rewind under the hood based on what's in the patent; It's just documenting the position and rotation of an object over a span of time, and when you hit rewind it just interpolates the object back along those points like a path (ie; it's telling the object to return to the most recent saved position, then the one before than, then the previous one, etc, etc). You can force a momentum value on-collision, or just treat it as a moving object at whatever speed it travels between those points, and you've got your reversed wrecking ball smashing its way back up a hill.
