Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th December)

Been getting back into 3DS. I have the A Link Between Worlds Special Edition model, so I never considered getting a "new" model back in the day but last week I learned that the 3D effect is better! I didn't know it had head tracking.

I'm a total sucker for the 3D so I'm hoping to get one for graduating college next week. The extra buttons and c stick help in some games sure, but I'm most interested in not losing the immersion when the game gets intense haha.

@KY502ShinyHunter agreed, I get my hopes up every February that something will come up but no dice so far.

I wonder if game break thinks they could make more money releasing them individually or something on the e-shop and I'm all for it man, I can pay for that. I do feel like the aspect ratio of GB games is pretty strange on the switch, especially in handheld, I wish I could flip it 90 degrees to make at least look a little nicer.

@Axecon same thing happened to me like 2 years ago and I switched. if you can hop on a family plan for the +expansion pass. If you can get 8 people you got yourself the whole gambit for $10 a year. Super worth it. Otherwise anything passed like 4 people also makes it way affordable. I love the Genesis app the most out of the expansion pack but the N64 and GBA are bomb as well.

I love and prefer top down zelda's but EoW has been hard for me to enjoy and play, I'd like to hold off final judgement until the end of the game, since I'm not terribly far in, but it's pretty hard to defend sometimes because when Zelda "turns into" Link, those are the best parts to me, I feel like swinging a sword and getting to actively be part of combat is the best part of Zelda.

Most of the time I'm throwing the fire oozes so I'm at least doing something. The real time strategy is interesting but when these enemies I can normally cut through like butter are always an EVENT it becomes pretty sluggish.

I loved impossible lair, I remember feeling guilty getting it for $4 because it was so well done. It was a game I really didn't want to finish because I didn't want it to end.

The first game never clicked with me. I got like 5 hours in, which I think is a reasonable amount of time and just kind of walked away, I know I won't be picking up the remaster. Please make more impossible lair games!

Not sure if my phone was just glitching but I couldn't put more than one in. Either way, I've had the COVID since Wednesday and next week is start off finals so I've been busy. So somehow more casual like Tears of the Kingdom came back, and I've been having a great time. Especially being sick, it makes you forget how crummy you feel.

I'm also playing a Link Between Worlds during the week, but I doubt I'll touch it this weekend, since I'm so crammed.

@MSaturn I agree mixed feelings about the overall experience. Ending was fenomenal. But not a huge fan of crafting and Im fairly confident I don't feel a ton of want to explore since for the most part it's a recycled world. Not a bad game, or even just a good game by any means, just not sure I enjoyed it overall more than BOTW.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Top 5 Nintendo DS Games?

Tetris DS in underrated.One of my memories of the DS was with it.

I don't remember the details of it but I got to a point where I was so great at it I wasn't dying. This went on for at least a week, when I would just close it and put it on the charger at night. Eventually I wanted to play another game so I had to do the painful thing on ending it myself. I'm glad I did but it was nuts!

Re: More Zelda-Like Puzzle Crawling Arrives On Switch This Month In 'Dungeons Of Dreadrock 2'

I haven't played any crazy top down Zeldaesk indie games, not because they don't exist but everytime I see one highlighted they are usually really dark? Like theres like a glow around the character constantly?

Kinda like enter the gungeon, I guess I wish these environments were better lit? I know its for mood and world building and maybe its my eyes just getting old and not liking to strain to just see whats going on.

Any other good Zeldaesk indie games people would recommend? Possibly without the darkness?
