...being tethered to a wall outlet that's not the least bit handy? No thanks dude.

I have a rechargeable battery pack and the micro usb cord connected to the Xbox.


Cool.

I just buy 180 batteries for like $13 at Costco lol

That tornado scene is sooooo bad.

And I love the premise of it. But dear god was the execution stupid. If they had a car fall on him or something idk. Anything would have been better.

A heart attack because Superman is powerless against something like that.


The premise is he COULD save him but doing so would give away his powers.

Standing a few feet away from each other and awkwardly awaiting a tornado is not the approach they should have went with.

I like how the Ninendo Switch Pro controller lasts like 400 hours on a single charge.

But it does suck when it comes time to charge it. Kinda forces you to take and a break whether you want to or not.

I definitely dont mind throwing a couple more batteries into my xbone controller and just keep going.

If you're unhappy with a product but still think it can be improved you voice your opinion on the matter.

Are you advocating just taking what corporations dish out and saying thank you?


If thy make a good product? Absolutely.

But no we live in constant outrage culture where even the best games released for the generation. For example see the latest nerd rage that went around until Insomniac added the Raini suit to Spider-Man PS4.

Nothing is ever good enough these days.

Goddamn it, I really wish people would stop sucking OoT's dick. It's not nearly as great as anybody seems to think it is. It's pretty middling or bad in terms of a lot of things, like dungeons, overworld, music, story, and it's basically the worst Zelda in terms of combat. Some puzzles were ok but almost every puzzle in every Zelda are great.


It was the first 3D Zelda dude. It was groundbreaking for its time.


People seriously have the inability to value things for their time or to remember how games made you feel when you first played them.

You leave no stone unturned because the possibility of treasure.

You find something curious in the world and you dig a little deeper, employ a little common sense and you absolutely will be rewarded for it.

What does it give you though? When you open a chest or box or kill the enemies?


Trinkets, crafting materials, upgrades, equipment. Things like that. But listing it doesnt do justice of the feeling of discovery.

I also forgot to mention how various powers and items you get that reward you for just fooling around with them and coming up with creative solutions to traverse the world.

why do you say the world rewards you for exploring? How does it reward you? I've never played but I'd like to hear your thoughts.


Oh its one of the best exploration games Ive ever played. The world design is absolutely fantastic and everything is built in mind to give the play incentive to be inquisitive.

You see all these towers in the distance and you ask how do I get there. How do I scale it

You see mob camps peppered about and you think of interesting ways of to tackle them.

You leave no stone unturned because the possibility of treasure.

You find something curious in the world and you dig a little deeper, employ a little common sense and you absolutely will be rewarded for it.

They absolutely nailed the spirit of Zelda. Which to me is two words. Go. Discover.

I really liked that it didnt follow the traditional formula, but had some of the same basic story elements.

Hopefully going forward they continue to experiment in new ways with the franchise. And not in a gimmicky waggle-the-stick way.


honestly i'd have preferred if there was no story in BotW at all, cuz it was grade A garbage

i get that people loved botw but it was not for me and i'd like a more traditional zelda for sure

BotW is traditional. OoT is a garbage ass game that broke away from original series conventions in order to handhold a casual audience through it.


Your version of history is fascinating


My version is that of one who started with TLoZ and not someone whose first console was the N64.

OoT was a huge letdown to me and all the 3D crap that it inspired afterwards. BotW is the only good 3D Zelda.


You sound like someone who played OoT for the first time yesterday

I started playing BotW sometime last week, and I've been enjoying it, so far.

the only thing that I don't like is how the weapons/shields/bows can break.

I've never played Ocarina of Time (I wasn't really into single player games, as a kid), though, but I did play through Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.


I like it and dislike it at the same time. I like how it keeps gear interesting through the course of the game and forces you to use different things.

I just hate how easily they fuckin break. You get like 8 hits and then the fuckin thing disintegrates. You catch someone one in one one of those flurry combos and a brand new weapon literally break from one combo.

Also youve literally had 20 years of traditional Zelda

Darmik posted...
The cool thing about BOTW's formula is that it can be a lot more variable. Anything that's completely open with some goals to find and a final boss is going to be a faithful follow up.

The Ocarina formula was extremely rigid in comparison and they had a tough time following up on it.


I agree with this. There is a lot of room to play around without tinkering too much or making it a formula I hope they learn a lot from this game

Playing through Breath of the Wild now and it definitely captures that same feeling of playing through OOT.

Huge open world with very little direction. So many different things to uncover. Exploration feels really good and the world reward you for it time and time again.

For 20 years now theyve been trying to recreate OoT to the letter, instead of capturing the feeling that the game gave.

Now lets see if they spend another 20 years trying to recreate BOTW.

Yeah as great as the game is, it's missing alot of Zelda in it. Bombs are infinite, no real magic boomerang, no hookshot, no fishing...

I hope the next keeps this type of world and exploration but has more traditional Zelda kind of progression. Real dungeons, more bosses and the weapons.


I like the idea that you dont need the Zelda staples I think thats the best thing to happen to the series.

But a fishing rod is an intrigal part of any open world exploration game!! You NEED a fucking fishing rod.
