Yeah I remember hating the look when first seeing it, funny enough it’s now my favorite-looking Zelda game of them all (and in my Top 3 Zelda games overall, along with BotW and Ocarina)
I’ve learned escapism is really a bad idea for long term mental health. Might make you feel a little better at the moment, but then your problems are still there when you’re done. So you escape more to avoid your problems then before you know it you have an addiction while you let your problems fester and get worse.
Call me an old man yelling at clouds, but it’s really no wonder there’s such rampant mental health issues around the world, there are so many addicted to social media, gaming, TV binging etc. now.
@NintendoJunkie Guess it's kinda like being a Star Wars fan: you love it for all the good will the original work built up, despite most of the content afterward being garbage, you stick around for the few gold nuggets that come around.
So….has no one here been to the eye doctor? This is all standard stuff they do there plus some video games. I’m sure they had licensed practitioners performing these procedures, it’s not like they get a guy who just got out of his computer engineering degree go poke around with your eyes.
@Brad_Hogan I'll be honest, I haven't! I've always assumed it was a watered down port like most third party games ported to Wii at the time. Hope to be pleasantly surprised though.
@iLikeUrAttitude Nah we don't "deserve" anything for being consumers. We pay for products we want without ever contributing to them to in any way "earn" them, other than with the currency of whatever country we reside in. I absolutely hate the phrase "that fans deserve," implying they did anything outside pay for the products and whine about it online.
That said, the cloud play is complete BS and I'm not spending my money on it, but I sure as heck didn't do anything to "deserve" it.
I feel, like 3D theaters, metaverses will be the latest interactive fad that runs for about 10 years because corporations put so much money into it they have to force them to run their courses, then it will just die out.
@Milton_Burle I don't think it's because you suck at games, it was deliberately designed to be VERY difficult, but every run makes your character just a little bit stronger and your next run just a bit easier.
Some of the cartridges for these games go for $20-$50+ at secondhand gaming stores, this isn’t unreasonable at all. Heck we only spent $20 a year for the service to begin with, that’s insanely cheap for an online service, plus it’s not like you’re being forced to pay extra.
Makes sense, FC6 seemed to come out with a whimper, I barely saw any hype for it on release, whereas everybody’s been hyping Dread since the day it was announced.
Wow, that's.....that's not Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. Like....how dare they put his name and title on a game that has nothing to do with his masterpiece....this is like making a game where you're hunted by a rabid moose and they title it "Stephen Spielberg's Jaws".

You keep using that “multiverse” word….I do not believe it means what you think it does.

Re: Yes, Hogwarts Legacy Really Is Coming To The Nintendo Switch
Eh I don’t need every game to be portable, I’d rather get the full-def version of any major AAA title and play those at home.
