This is great. I was doing one utilising a shield jump the other day as it was easier than the arrow one that i found very hit and miss. This is the best one yet.
Tears of the kingdom like the majority of everyone else. Ive just cleared 2 dungeons but im going to slow down now and just start unlocking more of the map and shrine searching. 7 hearts now, 1 extra piece of stamina and ive got 12 shrine tokens (i dont know what they are officially called) to trade in and about 18 korok seeds that i need to trade for inventory slots. Really great game and i was so close to not even bothering with it as i didnt like BOTW.
@gloom they are part of the tech from a past race. The Zonai. Far more advanced in making machinery. The ultra hand was given to link by one and all the wheels, fans etc are Zonai creations.
Took a risk on this one after not really liking BOTW and im so glad to hear that classic dungeons of a sort have been re introduced in to the game. Glad i booked tomorrow off now.
Ive got it pre ordered from Nintendo but im not sure if i will have it for launch. If not i will be going out to buy it physical day 1 and sending a copy back on arrival as ive now got friday off work.
@Anti-Matter broken game? Im sorry but you obvioustly havnt played it or have the faintest idea what your talking about when it comes to this game in particular. Its absolutely gigantic, probarbly one of the biggest games ever. The game isn't broken, its being supported. The majority of other devs could take a leaf out of Hello games book.
@TYRANACLES "Come to think of it Ganondorf always did resemble Akuma to me." Exactly what i was thinking earlier, especially with all the red hair and the top knot.
Looks awsome but if its just like BOTW with a building mechanic thrown in (which it looks like) i dont think i will get it. I couldnt get in to it despite buying it twice unfortunately and the lack of dungeons and memorable boss battles killed it for me.
@ZeldaNX "Still no confirmation about dungeons. This gameplay is cool, but could all kind off been guessed by the trailers. I am a die hard zelda fan, but BOTW didnโt have that special spark for me" This commen completely sums up my thoughts. This game will need dungeons just like previous Zelda games for me to buy it. BOTW didnt do it for me at all.
I loved the open world of BOTW and the crafting mechanism but absolutely hated the fact that they didnt include themed dungeons. I know there were the shrines but the were not anywhere near as good as the full blown dungeons from previous Zelda titles imo. The degradable weapons were not my bag and broke far too quickly. Also the bosses absolutely sucked. I hope the new game has dungeons otherwise it will be a hard pass from me. (ive avoided everything on the game up until now)
For me, personally the switch 2 doesnt need to alter too much. Somewhere on a ps4 pro level of power would be good, 1080p solid 60fps with oled screen as standard. Keep the joy cons the same just change the sticks to hall effect to vanquish the drift. Full backwards compatibility with the option for devs to upgrade their software to take advantage of the new hardware if required. Get in to the 21st century when it comes to online by incorporating party chat and an easier way to meet and add new friends etc. DITCH THOSE FRIEND CODES. They already have an amazing handheld/console hybrid so just improve on what they already got.
Been trying to get one of these for over a year. Stock is a bloody joke in the UK. I wont feed the scalpers tho, instead opting for not giving Nintendo my money.
Fighting Psycho Mantis on Metal Gear Solid. I thought my console was broken when it kept beeping and HIDEO kept popping up in the top right hand corner. I wondered why it said Hideo and not Video, not knowing who Hideo Kojima was at the age of about 12. Im sure i wasnt the only one who had to Google what the hell to do.
Looking forward to this. Will be good to play through the campaign again without having to emulate it. Even with its dated graphics its still a great game.
Found this game a little too deep for me. I do like strategy games but im just not great at them. Advance wars is about my limit..... Which reminds me ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Over 200 hours on the switch version since day 1 and it will be day 1 on ps5. A competent chat option, boosted res/textures, boosted frame rate etc. Dont get me wrong, i loved the switch version dearly, its my favorite switch game but i would happily play it all again with the bells and whistles.
This game should really have been on switch years ago. Its literally printed money on the table and people have been asking for it. Probarbly one of the most requested games id imagine. No excuse really.
Never played one of these games before but i do like RPGs. Does the story follow on from one another or csn they be played out of order. Id rather get the latest one but no point if im not going to understand whats going on.
@EVIL-C ive always thought this when playing Broken sword 5 on the swich. Surely it wouldnt have been too hard to add mouse/keyboard support to a point and click game.
This makes me laugh as konami could be rolling in profit if they even bothered to dig in to their back catalogue of games. A remaster of the MGS series and Castlevania alone would make them money. So much potential but the just dont even bother.
@GoldenSunRM that would be sweet ๐
This looks awsome. Will be a day 1 for me but on ps5. I loved WRC10 and overall it was a solid rally expierience with plenty of content. Will be a shame to see it get Codemastered.
Defenatey one of my favorite N64 games. Such a charming game. This will probarbly get me to upgrade my sub this weekend. Just a shame i cant get hold of the controller without paying ebay scalper prices.
Dont know about the Japanese but there has got to be something about it as its got my whole family playing pass the pad after each match. Even my wife is in on it and ahe doesnt really like video games. Its a game that we can just chuck on, have 10 quick rounds together with and then turn off if we want to. I just wish i could lvl up a bit faster and find a gun i really like with a special that i also really dig. We like the shark one ๐ฆ๐
New to splatoon and the only thing i know about is ranked and Turf war. Not really have a clue about anything else in the game. I find it all quite confusing really, especially how to re roll gear in the hope of ditching all the crappy side perks and starting again. When i select it from the shop the tab is greyed out and only lets me lvl the stat power. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I just got the 8bitdo arcade stick for switch and a few beat em ups. Switched out the buttons and stick for sanwa's as they feel much better with a satisfying 'click' when pressed but overall the quality is really good.
@Ninfan its a great game. True to the origional DKC games on the snes with enough new content to make the game feel fresh. Some of the levels are pretty long tho and it can get surprisingly tricky. Solid platformer tho.
Monster Hunter Rise/Sunbreak. I literally cant stop playing it. I dont play online ever really but this game i just love jumping in to quests with randoms. It feels so much better than solo. I just wish i knew some mates to play with whilst being able to chat about tactics etc.
This is a game that me and the fam used to play quite alot in the evenings but once youve done all the tracks a gazillion times it starts to get stale. Anything extra in my mind is a bonus. Ime yet to buy the DLC but i think the time is right now season 2 is dropping. Hopefully those 16 new track and the rest to follow will breath a little life back in to the game and we can dust the cart off.
