Wait, wasn't TotK a 200h DLC for BotW? A DLC can't have a DLC of its own!
But seriously, I'd rather they start working on the next big thing. TotK is big enough as it is. Now give us 5 or 6 more sequels to ALTTP, instead of remaking every Zelda in existence until the next BotW sequel comes out!
The official Zelda timeline was created after quite a few games and changed a bit overtime. So I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo didn't have a clue about where BOTW and TOTK would fit. They might add a new game in the future that either merges all timelines, or create a new split before BOTW
The last 2D Mario that captured my interest was Super Mario World. And Wonder jumped at the top of my wishlist with its first trailer. So their solution to encourage creativity definitely worked on me.
It's supposed to be children game cards that you can play. Like magic the gathering. Why the hell was it made into a market of its own????? This is just another example of what happens when people try to monetise everything.
Celebrating delays early on? Devolver digital, I tip my hat to you! I wish this becomes a trend. I pretty much stopped buying games day one (safe for a few select developers like nintendo) because of how bad most games are on release. Day one has the quality of an untested pre-alpha way too often.
It depends on when they will replace it. If the Switch gets a half gen next year and stick to a hybrid generation for 4 extra years, it will blow the PS2 and DS out of the water.
To be honest, there is barely a difference between a new gen and a half gen. Look at the PS5. Most games are also released on PS4, making it a sort of PS4 Pro-Pro with more expensive games.
You could buy this statue, or a switch oled, TotK, it's prequel and still have some money to spare. Also I wouldn't want it on my shelves even if I had it for free.
Same thing happened after BotW. Whenever it rained, I thought "dammit, now I can't climb anymore!". Then I realised I can't climb regardless of the weather, so I got over it.
The obvious choice for a new dlc character is the racket in pong. I'd love to see this vertical bar in HD. The pieces from Tetris would also be a good choice.
Not exactly a failure, but I once tried stacking 20 fans on a zonai floating platform (the one from the gacha machine) to see if it would move. It moved up very slowly, or down much faster. Then I tried horizontally. I discovered the fans bend slightly when they are stacked. I had a giant penis floating in front of me and I didn't even make it on purpose.
They probably worked on a copy and paste of the same thing until they saw the trailer for TotK and realised it wasn't another BotW clone.
Now they are probably trying to make a bad TotK clone and will call it "Immortals 2: Tears of Ubisoft Quebec" because they won't be able to sleep for the next 2-3 years.
I'd love to see a new game set in a more distant future in which the Yiga and sheikah's history are mixed up and Kohga is remembered as the hero who helped Link save the world.
I stopped at trine 3 and don't intend to buy anymore of their games. When players complained about trine 3, they pretty much said: "We knew our game sucked but we ran out of money, so we released it unfinished because we don't respect people who give us money."
@_fatto_katto_ I think they wanted to give the option to put them upside down and to move the stick and button part higher or lower. But I'm not 100% sure
The concept doesn't seem too bad. But a hybrid consoles with a screen cropped with round corners by Nintendo is one of the many ridiculous things about this.
Also I don't think Nintendo has used the same logo colour for 2 consecutive consoles. I wonder if they'll go for a more classy black, or a flashy colour, like yellow or green.
@Picola-Wicola I remember spending too much time on the wiki from the start to optimise crops and directly get the right gifts, talk to everyone every day to build up friendships and then rush to the dungeon to progress as much as possible.
Just enjoy the game, take your time. The game is made to be enjoyed and there is no wrong way to play it.
If you don't want to have a huge (but still pleasant) chore watering every day, don't plant to many crops until you get better tools and/or some sprinklers.
Don't try to do too much every single day.
Rainy days and winter are a good time to ignore your farm and do something else.
Crops only grow specific season(s) and will die when the next season start, so make sure you have enough time to grow them.
Some things are extremely rare (like a fish that appears one day a year). The wiki can really help you
Don't carry too much stuff with you and don't stay up late at night (I think 2AM means a really bad surprise)
Another advantage with the physical version. I can delete all the patches and go back to v1.0 if I ever want to glitch like crazy. In the meantime, I play the most up-to-date version of the game.
@Purgatorium I glitched lizalfos tails to upgrade a few armours. I couldn't be bothered to hunt 300 lizalfos of each type with ridiculously low drop rate. I wouldn't have glitched if they had a normal drop rate.
It's not a direct competitor. I have a switch and a PS5. Whey work perfectly well together. But I won't buy an XSX because it wouldn't be of any use to me next to the PS5.
The perfect gaming setup is Nintendo + (PlayStation or Xbox) + gaming PC. The only direct competitors are Sony/Microsoft AMD/Intel and AMD/nVidia. Nintendo fits alongside everything.
I never liked the New series. It's the first time since the SNES that I am genuinely interested in a 2D Mario. It looks a lot more fun and didn't have that generic "just another New super mario" feeling.
I blame their greed selling games in multiple pieces with season pass and dlc. I've never bought an assassin's creed day one. I've always waited to find them much cheaper, so I can have the full game with season pass for a normal price for a game (and 80€ isn't a normal price at all)
There is a lot more in common between the surface and the depth than shrine and lightoot position. Water on the surface is a wall in the depth and reliefs are opposite, meaning a mountain on the surface is a mine in the depth and a canyon is a high plateau. I've been using the surface map to navigate from one lightroot to the next. The minimap keeps the level you selected when you open the map.
I expected both Octopath games to ship quite a bit more than this. I loved the first one, and I'll probably get the 2nd one on PS5 if it drops under 30€
I'm still lost with the timeline after finishing TotK. It feels like they are retelling Ocarina of time except Rauru is a furry king and not a fat hylian sage.
A sequel would have us explore space and the center of the planet as well as the multiverse for about 1000 hours of content. I think I'd rather explore Hyrule 10000 years in the past or in a more distant futur than a direct sequel. Why not give us a link between the Zelda lore and BOTW, and how all 3 timelines merged.
My interest in the series was short lived. I started with RF4S and loved it, then lost interest after the underwhelming, unbalanced and unoptimised RF5. So only a good metacritic score could convince me to get another one (probably on PS5 since they won't ever run properly on the Switch)
If they are going crazy on this, I'd rather have a Smash Bros adaptation. At least they could go bonkers and do whatever they want. And Chris Pratt could voice every single characters.
And if they insist on doing a Zelda movie, I hope it's by a Japanese animation studio in a style closer to Skyward Sword with a lovely and crazy Zelda. The team behind Danmachi would be a great choice with Link being similar to Bell.
