Picked up Bunhouse 🐰🌱
Interested in Approval, but that translation in the Eshop blurb and the typo in the title doesn't exactly inspire confidence that It will be a good game...
Monster Menu and the Lighthouse game look interesting to me as well.

Re: Struggling To Build Cool Stuff In Zelda: TOTK? This Fan-Made Site Can Help

Super helpful!
It's like anything creative on the internet, it gets blown up to make the rest of us feel awful, Animal Crossing and Minecraft are prime examples of this.

Sure there are a few people that do these amazing things but in reality most of us lack the creativity and are in the camp that @AG_Awesome mentioned and that's okay, there are a lot more of us than those darn clever folks but with social media it never feels that way, but it's true!

Re: Poll: What's Your Game Plan For Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?

Sillyeyepatch

Muck about, experiment, explore and enjoy is my answer.
I ruined BOTW for myself because I let it stay in my backlog for ages and by the time i got to it, I knew everything there was to know, so I wasn't letting that happen again.

Took me the best part of yesterday to do the tutorial, but my game didn't come till late, so the game proper opened when it was bedtime for me. I've just been wandering around, making things that don't work and having a blast xD

Zelda physical duh.
I want Fuga 2 but I've not played the first one and finally it went on sale in my region so I picked that up and if it gels I'll grab the sequel in the foreseeable future!

Edit: Probably don't need to justify anything to anyone but I usually buy games I'm interested in on release to support the devs, but with Fuga no matter how many reviews I watched I could never be sure 100% if it's my thing, hence the sale pick-up.

Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - An Absolute Marvel, But Is It Better Than BOTW?

Sillyeyepatch

I always read reviews, I never just look at the score, but I'm making an exception in this case. I just don't want to know anything at all! But once I've had some time with it I will 100% come back, I promise!

Edit back as promised! I feel really bad for @AlanaHagues because this was such a great review and so many of us didn't want to read it after all that effort >.< but She did such a great job of describing what makes it great without spoiling the game, it was really impressive, I really thought Alex was gonna take this one, not that I don't love Alex as well but it's nice to see someone else at the reigns from time to time. I can't believe that little indie games buckle on the Switch but this runs and looks near flawlessly (or at least for my standards) on this elderly console, the devs are absolute wizards.

As for myself, I am really having trouble dealing with the absolute scope of the game as I have mentioned in forums and I've ran away to the much more modest Kirchen Bel in the original Atelier Sophie until I can face Hyrule again, but I can see that it's a me problem and that the game is truly phenomenal. I really hope I can overcome it and enjoy it for the masterpiece it is.

Re: Piggyback's Official Guide For Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Releases This June

Sillyeyepatch

There's nothing like the smell of a guidebook, the feeling when the pages get worn from use, the frustration when a cat plops their butt right where you are trying to read. If I wasn't dead set on an organic playthrough, (no matter how flawed or incomplete it may be) I'd get this.

BOTW sat in my backlog for literal years I, played in 2020 I think and before I even played it I knew everything there was to know. I'm not letting it happen again, I'm playing day 1 and stumbling every second of the way!

Re: As Switch Momentum Slows, Nintendo Expects Further Sales Decline Next Year

Sillyeyepatch

Maybe it's because the Switch is my only console, and I only got proper into games when it came out (before that I would just play Pokemon and really casual games like Animal Crossing)

But I'm in no rush for the next console unless it's fully backwards compatible and I can just download all the games I have on the new system by my Nintendo account or something (which is unlikely) I have so many games to play that will probably last me the rest of my life.

Do people just play the first parties on Switch and all the third parties/indies elsewhere or something? granted I might be playing catch up a bit with a lot of ports I never experienced the first time around, but there are literally thousands of games to pick from inbetween big releases.

I know I'm really slow in getting to games but I don't think the first party scene has been bad at all either I do play most of the ones I'm interested in on release but I still have FE Three hopes, Xenoblade 3, and AW still in their shrink wrap on my shelf because I've been to preoccupied with indies and the like. We are days away from the new Zelda, they don't rush their games and that's a good thing, I really thought we would have Odyssey 2 by now, but you just know they are making it the best it can possibly be.

The only thing making me want a new console is the fact that a lot of devs just don't optimize for the Switch very well leading to a lot of games I play just not running well on the system, and if they do run well there are often so many cutbacks that the games look kinda terrible and when I get stuck on something and consult a walkthrough and look at the other versions of the game and how beautiful they are it makes me kinda sad. Of course there are exceptions like Nier Automata and things like that but they are few and far between overall.

Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Ago, The Action Replay Ruined Pokémon For Me

Sillyeyepatch

This is a great article. Anyone who liked Pokemon in this Era 100% went through this and regretted it instantly, using an AR literally sucked everything that was good about the games away. Not only that once you'd used it, it was kinda tarnished forever and you could never play it the same way again cause why bother when you can have 999 of everything and infinte shinies.

That being said I had a lousy partner in high school that would just ignore me and play WOW every time I went round his house, and I spent all that time Action replaying what you would call a 'living dex' these days of shinies. My idiot brain thought it was a good thing to do back then... Hey I didn't play any other games back then and I'd already spent hundreds of legit hours with these games.

Re: Review: Super Dungeon Maker - A Promising 'Zelda Maker' That Needs More Time In The Oven

Sillyeyepatch

Ahh this is so sad for those that were interested. I know people have been clamoring for a Zelda maker for years now, and this looks like it's not gonna cut it and to echo what @Ralizah said, that Is just an embarrassing and pathetic thing to do and it forgoes any forgiveness and patience for patches people would have had. It's on the Eshop, people expect a finished game, it doesn't tell you that in the Eshop before you buy it either, I just checked, and that's so scummy, not everyone frequents these sites daily like we do. Lucky I wasn't interested by this. I feel bad for the people that got burned and bought it before they came here.

Edit ahh @SwitchVogel you beat me to it!
