Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The February 2022 Nintendo Direct

CairiB

I’m excited to watch, not sure what I’m hoping for though!

Any Zelda news is good news, so I’ll take whatever they give me.

I feel the itch for a really good RPG. There’s a very large Skyrim and Witcher shaped hole in my life at the moment. Because of my job I’m pretty much exclusively playing games on switch alone, and I need me some rpg….

@TheBigK I wouldn’t say that it’s down to you being easily pleased, more that others seem to want absolute perfection from years old games. So far I’m really enjoying the n64 games. Banjo is worth the price of it alone for me, I’m having an absolute blast. Last time I checked, that’s what gaming was supposed to be about; I don’t need a perfect experience whatever that is, but I expect a fun one.

Re: Dying Light 2 Will Take At Least 500 Hours To "Fully Complete"

It’s all relative is it not? If the gameplay is good, I’m not going to be thinking about how long it’s taking me to complete. I packed in many many hours on Skyrim and The Witcher and didn’t bat an eye at that. If the gameplay isn’t up to snuff though, I’ll put it down.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Replay Games?

I’m very much camp, re-read and re-play. But they tend to be firm favourites. (Lord if the Rings, and Zelda series, I’m looking at you!)

It’s chasing that serotonin hit I think. I already know I enjoy them, so I guess they are like gaming and reading comfort food!

@Celandines I hear you on the social element. It was a massive part of why I played as a young mum in on my own a lot.

I’m glad it gave you some comfort when how’s life was hard like that. ❤️

@KateGray Scientology?! Now I need to google this! 🤣

I was obsessed by this way back in its early days. I’m sure my kids were babies so it must have been at least 15+ years ago 😨

I was a dab hand at the stocks and a legend in the battle arena 💁‍♀️

Re: Video: This Is What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like Running At 8K With Ray Tracing Enabled

Mmm this is an interesting one. Korok forest looks pretty amazing it has to be said, but then some of the meadow and forest shots look kind of awful. Too bright ( all those rays of light are super distracting and wash stuff out in my opinion). But then the shots of the coast look great. Proof nothing is perfect?

With that said, I love the game just how it is, it’s like playing in a gorgeous fairytale novel. I need to take a moment after watching too to say that it can’t be ignored that the musical score for the game is simply beautiful! I haven’t played in ages but the music makes me want to set it all up right now and play it all day ❤️
