@FreasurePlanten You thought that was fun? It bored me to tears. The control feels floaty and imprecise (and laggy). It sure looks nice (nice main character animation too), but it is basically a walking simulator where you can glide (sometimes). Thatās it. Everything shown in the trailer shows nothing new than what I experienced in the demo.
I think Knightās redemption looks good especially on the sale right now, so I added it to my cart. I also wishlisted Teared: Looks like a cool (pretty) throwback to arcade action sidescrollers
@Darthmoogle Iāve played it in the arcade and gets really repetitive, really fast. In a 4 player session we all just kept spamming our power moves. Thereās no real purpose to the gameplay and the bosses are sponges
@PinderSchloss TotK hardly had any performance issues. It was praised up and down for pushing the Switchās hardware without breaking it. What are you referring to?
@IndoorEnthusiast What is boring about him? Thereās still nothing else that looks like Mario and his world. His colors and design are instantly recognizable. His small, portly stature gives him a cute and likable presentation (inspired by Toriyama characters). His move set is also legendary: He can jump super high and bounce off of objects with impossible momentum gain, wall jump, spin float, backflip, dive and roll, butt-slide, belly slide, jump kick to gain height, swim in all directions, jump between planetoids, triple jump, fly in 3D without a vehicle⦠and thatās not even getting into his epic powerups.
I went ahead and ordered the physical. I have had trouble getting into this one in the past (on PC), but I think it would benefit from a handheld play, where itās better suited for retrying⦠over and over again. (The combat mechanics have a stiff learning curve, and you almost will never benefit from taking on a group of enemies). I suggest people play in the Easy mode, otherwise you have limited saves early on.
Itās truly impressive Saber got this working even this well on Nintendo, PCs struggled to run this game originally
@marsbitrona People said the same of the 3DS. The 3D cranked up never bothered me, personally. Outrun 3D looks amazing that way, as does Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 3D
@Zidentia TotK was created by absolute coding geniuses. Itās one of the most stable yet largest worlds Nintendo has ever conceived and executed. The game should have won for best direction as well.
So Iām with you that anyone that says itās just DLC frankly arenāt being genuine about it. There is a massive amount of new stuff in this go round of Zelda and Iād even claim there are actually 4 maps due to all the new cave systems created.
Congrats to Larianās win, even if I donāt agree with it, though.
@RandomDave Nope. You have to fight your way out. The traps are dumbest design decision in the game (especially the mandatory ones). I can only imagine it was to pad the gameās length
@Tasuki Lords of Shadow trilogy is self contained. It tells a complete story by itself and only has small references to past Castlevanias (like Rinaldo making the combat cross / Vampire Killer)
