I always though Skyward Sword to be one of the more underated Zelda titles, maybe solving that motion control problem will invite more people to play this game. Sure hope it does, cause its a solid entry
I will probably spend all my weekend to finally defeat that Octopath Traveller final boss... God, the fight is so epic, but going through that one hour boss rush beforehand makes me throw my Switch.
@Beatrice Wow, i never expected an Umineko lover on here. I guess without my love for all those Switch games i couldn't have ever seen that
@Ralizah I think Haven definitely leans towards a good Singleplayer experience rather than a good Coop game. The Reason for that is actually just that there is not too much gameplay to begin with. There is exploration but only one of you can control the player(which you can switch, but there is no real point except dialogue). There is the VN aspect where you choose dialogue options(both of you can choose every option). Lastly there is combat which is really simple and the only time Coop is really used since each one of you chooses an attack option.(Again, this is really simple, there are about 4 commands).
Gameplaywise it is really no Coop game, i played it mostly on my own and it is basically a sweet Visual Novel with some exploration and combat. Playing Singleplayer is definitely better than the multiplayer(gameplaywise at least). Hope that helps a little
I am still unsure on if i should get this game or not, i think its quite positive how he reacts to his feedback though. Pretty sure the gameplay is great as a rpg but everything else is alright to meh standards
@Anti-Matter As i said before, i can relate to your train of thought. Everyones opinions are different and that is totally fine, yours even seem very interesting. I just didn't understand why you even look at this list if you don't care about it from the get go.
@Anti-Matter While i can see your reasoning, i don't really understand why you are on a page where the metacritic score is displayed in the first place. Personally i think these scores are still good to find some games one might have missed out on
I don't mind any spinoffs, especially the RPG idea i saw in the comments sounds really interesting. Of course only if there are no less normal zelda games coming out, i want more 2D zelda games in between the big titles
Age of Calamity all day! If i get to it i will finish ori and the will of wisps and there is always a bit of smash or iceborne(only pc) sprinkled in whenever the need arises
I am not getting it at launch, but i guess only cause i am not ready to play a big game like this right now. Also its too expensive for me after just buying age of calamity. Maybe one day if it is that good. Onto the actual topic though: I think its really funny how sometimes the games come to happen
@LordGeovanni thanks for the help! I do have the switch version and the ds version cause i really wanted to try the game. I played a bit on ds and got further than on switch.. But first of all i need to get back into the game if i want to start over. For now i am still on finishing other games but your tips are very much appreciated!
I just never got into the fighting system in the first game. Am i just not having any talent with this or is it genuinely a problem? I am unsure if i would pick up a sequel, only if i get through the first game which was fun except the gameplay
Never liked Monster hunter a lot, until i played Worlds which was a lot more beginnner friendly and made me appreciate the series a lot more. Probably gonna buy this day one now
I played some other warrior games and always thought them to be quite fun for a while but not really a lot more than that. Hyrule warriors was my favorite and i do expect like 20 hours of entertainment or so before i get bored of the gameplay... Nonetheless i am really curious if they actually stay true for the story which SPOILER
pretty much ended with everybody dying and that sounds a bit too hardcore for Nintendo. Looking back at my botw playthrough it didn't really seem like there was much of a fight anyways... more of a one sided slaughter by ganon so is this really gonna be canon?
looks interesting, not much backtracking and possibly celeste like difficulty with interesting ideas. @Kalmaro In the end i didn't even finish Carrion yet. It seemed fun at the beginning but well it is basically just backtracking and occassionally some fighting which quickly made the game quite boring to me, a shame cause the concept seemed really fun
@Mach_Rider I actually am not so sure about boring level design. The visuals are pretty good, the different regions are very unique in their presentation, difficulty and creativity(mushroom jump region, dark cave region, jungle region and so on), especially with the enemies which are pretty much the core point of the game as well as exploring. maybe you mean the amount of backtracking that is boring? but that is the same with most metroidvanias. Not judging, cause its your opinion, but i am still curious in what exactly you found to be boring although i guess some of the bosses can get very unfair and rage inducing. I just really enjoyed that game personally
Still stuck on my phoenix wright playthrough, alongside enter and exit the gungeon which i will probably playthrough with a friend. Just finished the hotline miami collection and i must say that i have really fallen in love with that bloodbath, although i didn't get much of the story until i read a bit more about it
awwe when going through the comments i feel like a lot of the people didn't really enjoy this game too much which is a shame because it does have its own really fun moments. It certainly might not be the best Zelda made, but it does have some interesting dungeons and if the motion controls would be reworked i think the gameplay wouldnt be much of an issue as well. The Artstyle and Story are quite solid as well in my opinion(especially your interaction with Zelda) and don't forget the awesome music. Of course there are some Issues like the rather boring flying around or revisiting the same or very similar areas sometime as well as Fi maybe annoying you about low batteries...( Oh and lets not forget a certain boss) But overall its pretty solid, especially if you are going for the more classic zelda things you might have missed in botw like me(e.g. music and dungeon designs).
@buggysdad that really does sound annoying. At the very least they are fixing it for free i guess, but its hit or miss if your problem gets solved or not. for me it did, but looking through the comments it seems that you are either lucky or unlucky depending on where you are sending it in
I am actually a bit confused now, so xenoblade is not open world but hyper light drifter is?So open world is basically when you can access the whole world from the beginning or after the tutorial, have i got that right?
@Shepdawg1 which really makes sense to me. Not caring about the console as long as this becomes reality sometime. I hear a lot of good things about suikoden and would gladly spend a bit of money on the final product
The E3 is always great fun, all those many games coming out, packed into one big event is a lot more convenient than picking and waiting for every little piece of information nintendo is feeding us
I am looking forward to this game, as mentioned before i would also support by buying the game and not by funding the kickstarter though. It will be a great chance to get into the suikoden series myself
@TheWingedAvenger Zelda is fun, absolutely and without doubt. The Combat works well and is easy to learn, my point was that Zelda is more button mashing than Xenoblade and not a button mashing game per se, the combat is just not very deep, fun yes but not too deep is all i am saying. Ultimately, it comes down to personal opinion and i probably agree with the fun gameplay part here. However, if you want a more complicated but rewarding fighting system, i still consider xenoblade to be above Zelda which does not feature a lot of strategy usually.
