Started a new Witcher 3 save, in addition to juggling Baldur’s Gate 3, Paper Mario TTYD and fighting for the championship in my F1 23 save… I have severe commitment issues 😅
Moving forward I hope that representation in media is organic, and that it's not a defining characteristic but rather a part of a well-written person. People are so much more.
@SalvorHardin My issue with the memories in TOTK is that the story isn't remotely interesting enough to work as well as BOTW's. Also, this kind of story doesn't work out of order, so I found out the big twists early on, which ruined the whole thing. It's a shame, because Ganondorf stole every scene he was in, even though he and Link had nothing to really work with. For that reason I'd welcome a linear Zelda game with a linear story, one that actually works.
Loved it in the moment but it felt so glaringly similar to BOTW, from the memories, story, combat, exploration loop... the new abilities were awesome though.
Ocarina of Time, the variety and consistent quality in that game was pretty insane. Nine dungeons, some of which are still considered the best in the series.
My favourite memory’s got to be diving into the eye of the Hebra storm, somehow I figured it out without a guide and I felt like an absolute genius in the moment. Such a special feeling
as long as the game runs properly at all, it doesn’t matter whether it’s 30 or 60… that said the game looked like it was struggling to even hit that, hopefully Intelligent can work that out soon:
@Beetlebum91 Don't wanna trash talk the remake but this is indeed a strange thing to happen, despite the excuses of complex lighting and effects that some may offer. I've seen tougher games run at 60.
I imagine it's been very difficult since both Sugiyama and Toriyama died during production, so I'm happy to wait as long as needed, this series is the gold standard of JRPGs.

Definitely not on the first Switch but I'm sure there's scope to pull it off for the second.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door On Switch
It’s strange they couldn’t hit 60 on the Switch given bigger games like Odyssey have done it no prob, and at a less resolution too.

Yeah there's something oddly therapeutic about turning dozens of laps in a race car. It's so metronomic.
