Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 29th)

I'm taking a short break from TotK to quickly do a run of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. This version is based on the special edition so each chapter is only one year which drastically reduces the grind. The game has a lot of negatives but I'm enjoying all the additional features over the original.

If TotK had proper OoT style dungeons then it would be my #1.

1. Super Mario 64
2. Ocarina of Time
3. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
4. Xenoblade Chronicles
5. Sonic Adventure 2
6. Tears of the Kingdom
7. Pokemon ORAS
8. Hollow Knight
9. DKC: Tropical Freeze
10. Portal 2

Re: Soapbox: Getting The Master Sword In Tears Of The Kingdom Is Zelda At Its Best

I had a pretty cool experience with this one. I remembered that there were Zonai ruins in Faron in BotW. So I went there expecting to find something neat but there wasn't really anything there. But looking up into the air I saw that huge thunderstorm. So I went up there and found the island with the construct head that leads you to the Spirit Temple. After getting Mineru's Vow she tells you to check the Lost Woods for the Master Sword. If you do that then the Deku Tree tells you the Sword is moving around in the sky. The feeling that I found all this stuff early was really cool (I had only done fire and water temples by this point).

EDIT: I'm 100 hours in and I haven't even been to Gerudo yet. This is the first game to crack my top 10 since the original Xenoblade in 2009. It's one of the finest games I've ever played.

Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo Controller? Every Nintendo Pad Ranked

The small deadzone in the analog stick, the thumbstick grips, the isolated sunken D-pad, the directional guides, the comfortable grip, the inventive colour schemes, the large primary action button surrounded by periphery action buttons, the analog triggers, the easily tappable second analoge stick... GCN is king <3 for 3D games.

For 2D games, I have to go with the Wii U Pro controller. That thing is a SNES controller with analogue sticks. And an absurd battery life.
