Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@bimmy-lee yea for sure. I haven't gotten many n64 games other than Mario golf. Id have to back and check to see if there are any issues.

On TW3 front, it's very intimidating at first, and at times, it can be cumbersome and confusing. But I dont think it's nearly as confusing as other rpgs.. I'm struggling to make money and repair my equipment atm. I think i need to do side quests to earn cash which im not crazy about. But I'll manage.

I did get stuck for an hour or so last night and i wasn't sure what to do. After reading ign's walkthrough, I learned i had to "open a book" to actually activate the quest icon. It really stunk since i was walking around aimlessly for a good hour. This was the first time this happened tho to the games credit. Hoping it doesn't happen often. The game is too big to be unclear of where to go. All and all about 10 hours in, it's manageable.

@NintendoByNature - Good to know it’s manageable. I’m not ruling it out, maybe someday in a sale, though I also know enough about it to know it’s a game well worth a full asking price.

Dude, huge game starting right now! Good luck. I hope it’s a good game as an impartial observer. I’m sure @NotTelevision is watching too, so good luck as well. May the best team win. Lots of great recent history between these teams. It’s a fun, weird rivalry.

@bimmy-lee i know ughhhh were out and about right now. I'll catch some of it though.

@bimmy-lee yeah the wonderboom 2 came out mid 2019. From what I hear, besides the slight difference in looks, the main changes are a battery boost, better bass, and the addition of an "outdoors mode".

Apparently if you pair two gen 2s together you can get stereo sound too.

@bimmy-lee Yeah, same here. That first day in BotW's game world was simply magical. That first impression will never be bettered by revisiting the game, and it actually IS one of the factors of why I haven't returned to it yet. Some of the other factors, besides private issues, are time and career, or rather: career switch WIP. More on that later this or the coming month, if I succeed. But it's been pretty tough so far. Even in the new year, I apparently can't seem to get a break. Oh, well. Let's make lemonade...

@bimmy-lee Tug-of-War kind of game. Overtime now. See who wants it more. 👏

@HobbitGamer its €329.99 here in Ireland is that the same price it was 3 years ago

@Ninfan it was £279 RRP at launch and still sold at that price but you can get a better deal if you shop around

@NotTelevision sweet game..because im a vikes fan 😋

I don’t know, I don’t believe in euros.
I’d imagine it launched at the price of 3 famine-era potatoes.

@HobbitGamer LOL .THAT'S VERY SORE

@Anti-Matter hello, I did some looking for you about f1 race stars ps3, yes it has 11 of the 20 F1 tracks and I emailed CODEMASTERS , ( or did you do that already ) to ask if you can still get the DLC Valencia track anywhere.😃

Wow. Eight notifications, all of which are in this thread. I feel loved! ^^

@Ninfan The Switch was (and still is) $299 here. That particular deal was $289 before tax and came with the V2 console and Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Our tax isn't figured into the price here, but applied at checkout.

@ThanosReXXX Oh yes, there WILL be some impressions. I'm a huge Zelda fan and am really into the series lore. While I don't always buy the whole "timeline" subject - though some games clearly are related to each other - I think it's still an interesting discussion to have.

Glad to know that there's more to the story/plot than I've been led to believe. That was one of the few complaints I've seen floating around. As with anything, a game's pros/cons are up to each individual in the end.

@bimmy-lee I like visual cues in my games; it's a way to try to put some missing puzzle pieces together on your own. I love a good puzzle. You guys are making me more excited to play BotW now! I think it'll be my next timesink game after my current long one...which will be a bit. I've _just_started DQ VIII.

@NintendoByNature I was surprised that there weren't any eshop sales (unless they went unreported from the sites I follow) to speak of. A lot of people like to bellyache about My Nintendo; while it's nothing great, those discounts did save me a few bucks every now and again.

@Tyranexx oh for sure. I've used it quite a few times myself. I usually spend all my platinum points on all the rewards, but whether or not i actually purchase the games is another story.

I gotta say, it shows everyone else you replied to had italicized font except me. What have I done to deserve this?! 😉

@Tyranexx To give you a real world example, just think of a mall in a small town, or in a big city, and let's make them both the exact same size: in the small town, it'll probably be the hub or the center of the world for the locals and the local youth, and it's kind of omni-present, because of its size vs the town's size.

Now, that same mall in a large city is largely drowned out by hundreds of other stores, maybe even another mall, and it most certainly won't be the center of the city. So, in comparison, it feels a lot smaller, and you'd probably need to travel farther to get there, but it's all relative and perceptional. It's still the same size mall, with the same amount of shops, and the same people capacity.

I hope that example translates well. For me personally, all the whining/complaining about BotW was kind of a lite version of the Pokémon Sword/Shield outrage. Smaller, but still largely overreacted in my opinion. It's a great game, and how innovative it is and how much freedom it allows, is clearly proven in articles about people discovering things, to this day, that no one else has thought of or tried before. Such as the Korok leaf article from last week. And that several years after its release.

P.S.

What's up with all the italic text?

I fixed the italic text in my previous post. XD There was an underscore between the two carrots up there (a common way I make a happy/pleased face in text conversation) that the site's formatting translated into italics.

@NintendoByNature My platinum points expire in droves. I do use them, but not too often. The gold coins typically serve more of a purpose these days, but even that is limited since I don't purchase digital games very often.

@ThanosReXXX That's a great example tbh, especially considering that I'm from a relatively rural part of America. Some chain stores and shopping centers that people in more urban areas take for granted are harder to come by around here. One of the best places for the kids to hang out these days is Walmart. There are strip malls blooming up around it. That part of the town is growing.

I'm sure if I have any complaints with BotW, they will be very minor. The only real misgiving I have about the game is that I know you have to gather materials to craft items; while I don't dislike crafting per se, I dislike how time-consuming it is in some games I've played.

@Tyranexx Don’t worry, if you’re out exploring and fighting you will come across most of the things needed to craft 75% of things. The ones that really take effort are related to dragons.

I really need to finish BotW...and Astral...and many things. But I’m too busy getting continual “You’re Dead” screens in Witcher 3

@Eel - That’s kind of cute. Pair up two v2 Wonderbooms, and they make a little stereo sound baby.

@NintendoByNature @NotTelevision - Wow, another crazy NO/MIN game with no shortage of controversy. This is becoming an annual tradition. With no skin in the game, it was super dramatic and entertaining. I’ve been on to next season for weeks now NT, it’s not that bad.

@ThanosReXXX - Well, I wish you luck in your new adventures my friend, it’s never easy making a change, but it’s often exactly what’s needed. Take it out on the lemons whenever you need. Just grab one, and squeeze every last drop out of it.

@Tyranexx - I’m sure you’ll find something or everything to love about it whenever it makes its way into the rotation. I’d probably recommend starting it four to six months out from BOTW2 (whenever that turns out to be) if you make it that long.

Strange, but i still thinking to play PS3 games i have since last week.
Maybe i have never got a chance to play PS3 5 years ago and when i got the chance, i played my PS3 everyday.
I completely have no desire to continue my BOTW honestly.
But i still kept it, i still saw a potential but other games attracted me more than BOTW.

@HobbitGamer Ah good, so I wouldn't have to go out of my way to grind out items most of the time. That's something I dislike, though it sounds like the game doesn't force you to do this. That torture would be under my own willpower. XD

@bimmy-lee We'll see how much longer I hold out. It's one of those games I've been dying to play...but I could say that about a good chunk of my Switch library right now.
