Okay, so I'm only a few hours in, but already I feel bored as hell

Nice sage there friend. How does sea water taste?

It's not as bad as Fallout 3 but it's still not good. The landscape is littered with "landmarks" but those landmarks don't provide fun. Shrines are trash all around as none of them are hard other than for need of battling the controls, and the facts that "towns look like they match the environment" isn't a bonus, it's a basic fucking design choice that almost every game follows. Sure there was thought put into the world, but they put it in all the wrong places: They made a barren landscape, and the things they did fill it with aren't fun.

I actually just finished it.

At first I sort of disliked the game. Hated weapon degredation and exploration felt kind of pointless.

But then after I did the first divine beast (I chose to do the gerudo first) I really started enjoying the game. The gerudo beast was actually pretty challenging (the fight to get onto the beast was a blast, and the boss was challenging), and there started to be a lot of cool secrets around the world (spirit horse, great fairies, giant flying dragon spirits) and I was really enjoying going around taking on miniboss enemies like lionels, hinoxes, and those big rock things.

As I got further into the game though, it dipped in quality. Shrines became so fucking boring that I started actively avoiding them, and all the other divine beasts were shit with the exception of the Zora one. Getting to them, solving the puzzles on them, and fighting the bosses was easy as shit and not worth the time.

Eventually, I got to the final boss and was really disappointed. It was extremely easy. Finishing all the dungeons took away half of his health from the first stage. The first stage was kind of cool, but it was so easy to dodge all of his attacks that I only took damage at the end when I was trying to parry him while fucking around. The second stage of the boss was mind numbingly boring. I didn't take any damage and was never in any danger at all.

The end of the game is shit. I think the best way to play the game is as follows:

This way, you don't have to do the other shitty dungeons, and ganon might actually be a challenge when you go to fight him.

The rest of the game is a giant waste of time.

I feel you man. I've played it for a few hours and haven't really arrived to anything particularly interesting as of yet. There have been lackluster shrines which last a few minutes each not to mention all of the cool Shiekah techniques are straight up handed to you from the start and I haven't gotten to any actual "dungeons" yet. In the other Zelda games I have played you at least get into the action fairly early on. Sure Ocarina of Time sets up the village and lets you get to grips with everything in the beginning, but it's not long until you are inside the Great Deku Tree solving puzzles and fighting your first boss.

Even in the first Zelda, which is pretty much an open-world game, you are given a sword and sent on your way. There's no need to go to a bunch of towns to find out to prepare you for the adventure, you are already on the adventure.

I will give it a chance and keep going until the end, however. It's my first game of 2017, and I did make a vow to play more modern games. I just wish there was more to it.

a bunch of towns to prepare you, rather

B-b-but I'm bored after 5 minutes, it must mean the game is shit?

It's not as good an RPG as Nioh.

Hows the PC port coming along?

Is that the full pic?

No, he's been posting it everywhere.

full pic bls

Post whole thing

Post on-topic pics next time, you derailsome fag.

i want to get fucked by that bird

I asked a legitimate question here! How's the PC port coming along?!

everyone does

Welcome to every game where open world is just a fucking gimmick instead of actually being a world that is open.

he's the only rito to be all swole and beefy

Too much hyper, tho. Never liked genitals that are impossibly big.

Those. Has a nice balance of feminine and masculine traits. Gives an impression of top-notch mental and physical condition.

The artist is Hayden you can get them on exhentai. He does human males fucking furry females a lot. His art is okay but his art style is so mellow.

...

I wouldn't mind getting attacked by those sharks.

Fucking cocktease.
You got the sauce on those though?

Wait shit nevermind I've just noticed the signature on the bottom I'm retarted.

Considering sharks have small teeth functioning as skin, fucking them would feel like fucking an anthro roll of sand paper.
Not that some of you would mind.

Most of the gaming mechanics were solid, as well as the unlimited freedom and ability to finish shit off from the start, but the lack of weapon, bow or shield repair (closest thing you get is rebuilding those champion weapons), and the fact that the same rule doesn't apply to armor is really a tedious pain in the ass, especially considering all the weapon smiths in the game, and I wouldn't even mind this so much if the weapons didn't degrade like wet cardboard. Although the combat and AI system is pretty impressive but they could've added more behavioral variety to the enemies when you're disguised as one of them. Also, the lack of enemy variety is what really rustled my niggerbockers.

I arrive in Zora's domain and I get spat at by blue creatures in the water who can shoot water balls. I instantly assume they're classic River Zoras, but no. They're just fucking Lizalfos, and these freaking reptiles even live in the cold. And they're portrayed as being essentially the same as Bokoblins/Moblins, living amongst them and being spawned from Malice instead of being their own unique primitive race that live in their own unique camps and douchebag villages. Even the Bokoblin camps in this game are surprisingly underwhelming compared to the ones in Skyward Sword seen in Eldin volcano or hideouts, which had huts and even furniture and bedding for the Bokoblins. Also, I was expecting at least one Skull Kid in the lost woods or some special NPCs in the Kokiri-named lakes instead of just regular lakes that offer nothing after the shrine shit is completed.

Content between areas is also too sparse and everything's so horribly underpopulated. Even Zora's domain, which looks like a huge bustling city from afar, is actually just a bunch of towers that rise from the lake and serve no real purpose, and the overall population is pathetically low. I was at least expecting some kind of underwater traffic or that the insides of the towers are just filled with water, but they really serve no real practical purpose other than looking fancy. And Goron "City" is probably one of the smallest villages in the game. I was expecting some bigass metropolis of holes in the mountain walls with stone bridges that act as roads with Gorons rolling on them. Hell holes in the wall would've been lazy but at least made it look big. Even the hotsprings are unattended when they're supposed to be a huge attraction. Not even japanese-style onsen housing made of stone with a stone wall divider between male and female baths. I wanted to peep damn it. You could do it in Skyward Sword with that oldfag but not here with some gerudo tourists?

And then there's no option to disguise as a Yiga ninja and browse their little hideout in peace. I can understand that much of Hyrule was destroyed but it seems the destruction was solely concentrated on Central Hyrule while the rest remains untouched, so you'd expect most of the settlements on the borders of the map to be bigger or for there to be more of them. And with all the Adult and Child Timeline races running around, you'd figure an Anouki or Yeti village would be somewhere in the barren Hebra mountains, which is itself pretty damn empty. And don't get me started on Akkala.

And the Rito Village was by far the most disappointing. I was expecting some high rising tower filled with huts, but instead the huts barely go above three floors and their "homes" are barely the size of a single room, its basically a hippie commune. And the other problem is that the Medoh quest is horribly short and possibly the easiest in the game. The Rito felt so under developed…

Also, ffs I was at least hoping for a Lynel bandit camp/village made up of weaker craftsmen/artisan Lynels considering that their compendium entry mentions that they make their own weapons and such, so they'd have to have access to a large forge and education somewhere to be able to craft such fine weaponry and accessories. Going into a Lynel village while wearing the Lynel mask and buying their goods or just slaughtering their women and children from the inside would be quite the bomb. And since the village would be inhabited by weaker artisan Lynels, they would have lower HP and cheap weapons so as not to create too much of a challenge or avoid dropping any valuable, thus making you keep going after the big stronger Lynels outdoors for the good loot, and the stronger Lynels outside could've been explained off as being stronger due to their nomadic isolation as a test of manhood. But now I may be pushing it with the Lynel thing…

Also, the stables feel so odd. You'd honestly expect stables to be in or near settlements rather than in the middle of nowhere, so what they should've been were Inns first and stables second, and considering how peaceful and prosperous the areas they are in are, you'd expect for their to be growing settlements near them, essentially little villages or several camps, but instead its just the rare Bokoblin camp. The inability to register pseudo-horses at stables is a pain. I can understand the bear, but the Stalhorse was definitely worthy of stable occupancy. Also, the bokoblin camps are a pain as well.

Overall, the main joy is the exploration, but once you find all the towers, the enjoyment of exploration just dies down and it gets pretty boring from their on out.

Also, is it just me or was the way the Tarrey Town houses are build made to resemble building blocks? Can't shake the feeling that Nintendo was going to allow you to build houses/villages at one point to populate this barren dead land, and if that were the case then its a pretty shameful loss.

Anyway, with that I'm done and I meant every word of it despite the self-mocking reaction pic I posted.

Can't you furfags ever not shitpost your faggotry and derail every fucking thread you are in? Even 4cuck/v/ doesn't like your asses, and with good reason.

>>>/furry/

Oh fuck off you autist.

Water is overpowered as fuck it's too easy to fucking drown

Not to mention the whole Zora armor set doesn't give you much of a speedboost in water despite that you can swim up waterfalls at high speeds.

Holla Forums truly is shit both here and on cuckchan

Dude, the bird is from an outsider's perspective hot as fuck, this shit was inevitable.

Good thing we have vols like sangria to delete opinions he doesn't like. As for making the board usable, fuck that shit.

Kass is part of the new Zelda, tho. Discussing about how he's so hot is like discussing about how Garret is so cool in a Thief-thread, or speculating about the merchants nature in a thread about Resident Evil 4.

Emphasis on discussion, mindless circlejerking shouldn't take the presedence over actual discussion.

Only if you're a gay animal fucker with a parrot fetish.

I'm sorry user.

Then make a fucking thread for him instead off shitposting your shit tastes in every zelda thread, you abysmal autist.

Idiots are discussing shark porn here because of you. You furfags are fucking autism magnets.

Why are you upset?

Roll up, boy-o. The sharkshit started before the parrot was mentioned.

...

Notice how many furries are faggots as well?

Its a discussion of Zelda. It is going to degrade into "who ya bangin?" I have never seen a discussion of Zelda that didn't.

Ayup. People seem to forget how bad it got with Twilight Princess.

Same reason any user would be upset if someone started posting cooking tip or dress tips in an MGS thread and figuring out if Snake would look good in Summer yellow. inb4 one of you idiots actually starts posting pics of Snake in dresses

Just another reason to hate gaijins.

...

The lack of boss diversity is the one thing I really don't get. I have other problems with the game, but I can at least see why they made those decisons. Weapons break, because they want you to experiment, instead of sticking to any one weapon. Dungeons are short, because they broke up the dungeon content, and spread it across the game. I see no reason each of the Divine Beasts couldn't have had a totally unique boss.

Last Zelda thread didn't have any. And furry shit is something no one but autists can fap to.

Correction. Only something gay autists can fap to.

I'm enjoying it. I've just played it every fucking day for two weeks and I'm a little burned out.

It was a real treat to see what Hyrule castle was really like after all the trouble of running around doing other shit just to get ready for it.

The game felt very large in geography but barren with the amount of content, people, enemy variety. The 4 main story dungeons were short and most of my time was spent just exploring, getting all the shrines and finding korok seeds along the way. I wish there were more gimmick shrines like the island that takes all your gear and items until you beat it and the one that makes everything pitch black because most shrines were just basic puzzles with the abilities you get in the tutorial area.
I wanted to play the game with a tunic but the only non-DLC (12-15$ for an amiibo is a ripoff) is the Tunic of the Wild which you only get after unlocking all 120 shrines. The problem with that is that you HAVE to beat the Ruto, Zora, and Gerudo bosses to unlock 3 of the shrines which means that I only have the Goron area and Hyrule castle left after that.
The slo-mo QTE dodge system also made combat extremely easy when you get the timing right. I only had to fight the lynels once or twice to learn their different movesets for their weapons (spear, SnS, club) and the only annoying boss was the Gerudo dungeon because I was still trying to play the game by using the shield to block which is stupid. All other sub-bosses are piss easy.

7/10 Worth a playthrough (and a pirate). The game won't even let you make multiple save files.

I'd say botw is about the 3rd best zelda ever made. Behind MM and oot.

How unsurprising.

Despite my grievances with the game, I can agree to this.

Well put. I never even realized that the story as a whole was pretty damn short.

I'm still undecided on whether I like it more than Wind Waker. It is without a doubt better than Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword though.

user, I think you need to calm down. I would much appreciate random cooking tips cos I love cooking. And discussing Snake in a dress would be funny. What's your problem?

It's good for fucking around with.
Wonder if the CEMU folks can crack those in as well. Gonna be couple months before shit gets stabilized for good.

That's what /ck/ is for.

There's a reason furfags are shunned on a majority of sites.

That's another strangely unnecessary seeming problem. You'd think with such a huge overworld, they'd make a point to populate it with lots of enemy types. And yet there are no Deku Babas, no Skulltulas, no Redeads.

so is Holla Forums finally becoming /svidya/ or is this "sangria" guy a new mod who hasn't yet learned to control his hotpockets?

yeah whats up with that? you can swim against gravity itself but on a horizontal body of water you're slow as shit

open world is definitely a do-able concept when the developer puts effort into it. unlike bethesda and Konami….

Indeed. Even when I first saw that forest Octorok I thought it was a Deku Scrub.

That's the kind of forward thinking inventive genius that nintendo needs!

you deserved to get banned, don't try and rile up le defense force just because you can't stop making every thread about degeneracy

Oh, you're one of those autists that sperg out if you post any kind of content even a little bit outside of the boards description. Gotcha.

slippery slope Holla Forums, slippery slope…

I didn't mean that derailing is good, but realize that what you consider derailing is actually within the parameters of thread topic. If the related character wanking doesn't become overwhelming it should be considered to be perfectly on-topic.

Saged for sliding towards meta.

...

...

It seems like they cut out everything that couldn't easily be adapted to any area in the world (why model a Deku Scrub that will only appear in the forests, when you can have five different colours of Octorok?), along with any enemy that's more of a puzzle to fight than something you can just wail on until it croaks.

Nintendo was inspired when they made that game. Shame the 3ds remake is all pastel colors and ruined it's atmosphere.

Oh, I'm guessing you're one of those autists who needlessly derails threads for shits and giggles.

Yep. BotW ain't worth jack. Bigger isn't always better. The barren wilderness is just a time waster.

Well these fags were posting this shit another thread because the OP's pic was bowser in bed. It wasn't with his cock out or a word bubble saying he wanted to fuck. At best it as midly suggestive.

Somehow that gave people the green light to start posting yoshi porn and someone started doing voice recordings like they were yoshi getting fucked. It basically turned into a standard fuck party.

Autism? Furfags here are the ones who can't keep it in their pants. No one is saying you can't make an off color post here and there but if your objective is turn every thread into a furry circle jerk you can get kindly get the fuck out here.

...

Please stop meta posting.

Not an argument. Discouraging derailers like you from derailing is the only way to keep shit stable around here. Otherwise we're no better than cuckchan at this point, except we have /furry/.

birb bard and shork prince are god tier husbandos

...

I beat it about a week ago. I love it, 8/10 game for me, but I'm waiting for the superior sequel.

Overall, here's what would make BoTW better:

At least give an option to repair all weapons.

agreed, im one the fence with Sidon but that beak wins me over, also i like accordion music, its just neat to chill to.

I like junk weapons as an idea, but there also should have been a higher class of weapons that don't degrade. Either they're attantable through an upgrade process, or there's one of each of them hidden in the game world somewhere.

I'm also kind of baffled as to why there's no hookshot in BOTW. Have these people not played Just Cause? Obviously you'd give it to the player late in the game or it would just trivialise movement, but it should be there.

Maybe, but without the system, my first 40 hours would have been spent just going from point A to B because thered be no reason to explore. After that, it really doesn't matter because you already have the Master Sword + 10 royal broadsword at all times.

That's a good theory with Tarrey Town. Would have been neat but no proof whatsoever that's the case. If we find proof that town-building was excluded to rush the release for the Switch, get the torches and pitchforks Nintendo is done.

I'd mostly want to preserve the novel weapons like the magic rods. I feel really bad wasting those.

Oh fuck yes.

so what?

...

Those imp hips give me innate sexual urges.

Well he just said he wants to fuck the parrot, so obviously he doesn't want posts that shit on his shit-tier fetish.

Man if there really was a building option it would probably have been fantastic no matter how limited it was.

If you're that desperate for approval from peers, then go elsewhere. I'm sure cuckchan would love you oh wait, they ban furries too. Sucks to be you then.

irony is completely lost on you isn't it?

there is a difference between making a meta post and blatant shitposting. im asking what your point of saying 'muh meta posting' is beyond trying to shut down anyone who calls you out for being a degenerate faggot

so are you going to talk about zelda or just gonna be a BOARD WARRIOR all day?

I'm not sure what this post is supposed to be conveying.

Yeah, okay.

I think it's supposed to be a sign of approval, but with Holla Forums these days its impossible to tell. Personally I'm up for any weapon with any level of degradation so long as I can have an option to repair it or even craft them.

Ideal would be to use weapon degradation as a punishment for reckless combat behavior. But can you make a gameplay mechanic deep enough for it while maintaining accessibilty and (((fun)))?

Bummer, but I guess I can bend it with imagination.

you're not an anti-metaposter if you metapost, you retard.

WOW THOSE ARE SHIRLEY THE SAME THING

Like landing a hit on an enemy won't degrade your weapon, but hitting his shield will?

...

No shit, sherlock.

To lazy to search for the existing thread?
It's not even at bump limit ffs.

Eventually we'll reach a point where even the mods have stopped giving a shit about enforcing "one thread only" and it'll be just like old-Holla Forums again.

ctrl + f would do people a world of good but that's a lot of work to learn those key combos. Plus some shitbirds don't even bother putting the name of the game in the subject line.

Yeah, that sucks big time. If mods should do something it's slap people for not mentioning the topic even in the opening post.

In this case, I guess it was OP using a new thread as a way to not get ignored or getting his message delivered to people who browse catalog but don' open these threads or something.

ONLY TAP WATER ALLOWED

Eh, can't win 'em all. I honestly hadn't even seen the subject field used all that much up until Holla Forums gained prominence around 2014, where a much slower board let it be used to better advantage. Around the time of the board drastically slowing down + one-thread-at-a-time autism is when we started using the subject field in earnest and began objecting to not using it for new threads. Probably if they're not using it they're more recent 4chan immigrants or just used to a much faster board than what Holla Forums provides.

joke game

are you fucking gay?

It's fun I guess, it had me really engrossed earlier on, but now I'm not as inclined to play it. For reasons largely said in this thread already, once you fill out the map, you've seen most of what the game has to offer, as it just offers variants of the same stuff everywhere.
It certainly is impressive how big the world is, how much you can see of it, the fact that it doesn't just break anywhere, the level of freedom you have, etc.

And while I get this is the game the team has wanted to make since the first one, I can't help but think the way the series developed overtime due to not being able to, was the better direction to take it. Because as much as they tout this was inspired by the first Zelda, it's really more WRPG Zelda, and a pretty shallow one at that.

Really, BotW feels like a step back in a lot of ways. There's only 4 dungeons, each of which is piss easy. You don't get any upgrades like you did in the past (boomerang, hookshot, etc) nor any items from the dungeons. I get why they did it, to not make it impossible to do something in the game without the specific item, but it's still just not very "Zelda" in execution.

Not to mention the music, good god the music. Now this is where it's irrefutably a step back from Skyward Sword. Yes Skyward Sword was horrendously paced, wasted your time, held your hand, etc, but the OST is fantastic. Just listen to the theme and you'll have an idea of the kind of game they were trying to build.

But BotW's OST is like it's afraid to have any memorable tunes, lest it get in the way of the atmosphere. I mean hell, they removed gamepad functionality because it did, and the game absolutely suffers because of the weaker OST. If you don't believe me, imagine Wind Waker and just try to tell me you aren't hearing at least one song from that game in your head right now.

TL;DR it's an okay open world game, it's a terrible Zelda game and a step back in nearly every aspect, in that regard.

There's the weapon mounts in your house, at least.
But I don't think that's what you're talking about, right?

Bretty gud. The only thing I'd add is that the village with the loli scientist is beyond comfy.

You're supposed to lob an arrow at them and then collect the scale that falls as an offering to the shrine of Power/Courage. You know, like the one at the shrine of Wisdom told you to do.

You don't necessarily need a subject line if it's an off the wall thread like "Post your favorite x about y!" or "games that are like x", but if it's a general thread or a even a non general thread about one game in particular it can make navigating the catalog a lot easier and keeps people from creating duplicate threads.

It feels like it's something you should do automatically like wiping your ass after you shit but that's proably too much to ask for most people nowadays.

nigger what are you talking about?

On topic-

From what I've seen it doesn't look like there's any end game. I know it's a zelda game and maybe I'm spoiled by other games in this day and age but I guess I've come to expect there to be a new game plus or something more other than the main story.

Is there any world building or persistence or does it not matter and you basically go around killing stuff and see no real change over time? Does the world feel empty once you've explored it?

Yeah but it's still fucking gay, the only reason to shoot at them is to collect more materials to upgrade other gay armor that isn't barbarian armor. Which you have to spend wood and flint / a weapon that ignites every fucking time you want a stupid horn, fang or a stupid scale every single fucking time and you have to sit there and wait til they spawn and run down and you have to shoot at them, every single fucking time with armor you have to upgrade MULTIPLE TIMES which leads to
BACK TO SITTING AND WAITING FOR HOURS TO UPGRADE YOUR STUPID ARMOR, THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID, THIS IS FUCKING GAY AND FOR DUMB FUCKING NIGGERS. WHY CAN'T I FIGHT THESE DRAGONS, HINOX'S AREN'T A CHALLENGE, TALUS AREN'T A CHALLENGE, MOLDUGAS MORE LIKE NIGGERS WORMS BECAUSE THEY DUMB NIGGERS THAT EAT BOMBS, FUCKING STUPID RETARDS. OH BOY I wANT TO FIND HINOX'S, FUCK YOU THERE"S MULITPLE COLOURED HINOXS SO YOU HAVE TO GO TO YOUR STUPID TABLET AND SELECTA DIFFERENT COLOURED HINOX, WOW THAT IS A WHOOLE LOT OF FUN, NO THAT"S NOT FUN. THAT ISN'T FUN. THAT IS A FUCKING GAY. THIS GAME IS GAY. THIS GAME HAS NO STYLE. THIS GAME IS FOR RETARDS AND SHIT, WHY IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS A HARD MODE DLC? FUCK THIS GAY GAME, ONCE YOU 100% OH WAIT YOU CANT FUCK YOU AMIIBOS, PHYSICAL CANCER IN A PLASTIC FIGURINE, THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DLC, THEN100% THAT, THEN 100% THE OTHER ONE BUT YOU WOULD RATHER PLAY SOME OTHER GAY SHIT GAME ON THE NINTENDO SWITCH WHICH IS FUCKIGN GAY, so that's like 300%, but THE BEST MEME IS THAT YOU HAVE TO FINISH TWILIGHT PRINCESS HD AND AGAIN STUPID GAY AMIIBOS TO GET WOLF LINK TO HAVE MAX HEALTH, JUST TO 400% THE FUCKING SHIT GAME

Breath of the Wild is a fucking mistake.

Nothing will ever be like old-Holla Forums.

Fight fire with fire, retard.

Agreed with this, but Hateno village was probably the only town that was perfectly done. It feels real in every way.

Things like that you just don't get in AAA games anymore, and I had more than a few moments like that when I played this game. Initially the traveling aspect of the game is incredible, and if you have a lot of time to burn I recommend walking everywhere. The real problem is that once you get somewhere cool like a village there's not much to do outside of buying and selling stuff. What this game really needed was MM-style sidequests that were specific to each town, none of that "go and bring me 20 bundles of wood," or "show me a fire rod" bullshit. Also, the major towns and characters become irrelevant after you finish their dungeons. It would have been much better if characters like the Fish Man of Positivity came back or had some role if you did their quests. As it is you have all this interaction with them and then they repeat the same line of dialogue over and over. Zora's domain had the best sequence leading up to it, especially if it was the first Divine Beast you went for. Lots of lengthy, fun content leading up to your fight. The way I see it, this game is an excellent foundation for future Zelda games to refine what was done here and bring in things like more dungeons and bosses.

There's no point, if you have the Master Sword you have 13 hearts which is more than enough. Just cook a shitload of hearty food that give you like 15 bonus hearts and learn to parry and the game is broken.

Hence the bit about coming from a much faster board, it strikes me that if they're not doing it then they're fresh off the boat and used to a faster board where there isn't really much time to peruse the catalog. Compared to here where a thread can scrape along for a month or more depending on how often it's bumped, ie the Monster Hunter thread that's still lingering.

you stupid fuck

How did you do that?

𝒩𝒾𝑔𝑔𝑒𝓇.

I think Breath of the Wild is a lot of fun.

What's the point of getting the special effects if you can just cook food to get the exact same thing? You're never in any danger thanks to parrying and dodging and status effects like cold or heat resist can be gotten through peppers and mushrooms. Sorry you're having a spergout over it.

I watched the GDC talk they did about the game, apparently they did HD renders of all of the games since WW to decide on an artstyle and liked the WW one the best. Considering how similar Hateno looks to Windfall Island I would guess that it was the first village they made, which would mean it also had the most work put into it.

I can't help but be disappointed in the baby-tier short dungeons with no unique items and boring bosses. Seems like they were going for casual fags where this is their first zelda or something

Yeah. I was going to stop but there is nothing to play on my wii u anymore

𝓛𝓲𝓷𝓴… 𝓦𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓾𝓹, 𝓛𝓲𝓷𝓴… 𝓨𝓸𝓾’𝓻𝓮 𝓪 𝓱𝓾𝓰𝓮 𝓯𝓾𝓬𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓯𝓪𝓰𝓰𝓸𝓽, 𝓱𝓸𝓵𝔂 𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓽…

I think one of the main problems with this game is the fact that it isn't an RPG with a leveling system. When going against a group of difficult enemies, you would rather go around them than take a few minutes to beat them because you don't want Moblin guts and weapon degradation. There is no point in fighting because there is hardly any reward. Maybe I'm just playing the game wrong.

If all you're doing is hitting enemies with weapons given the number of tools the game hands you to make up your own strategy, maybe you should think more outside the box. Melee should be a last resort, not a default method of attack. Soften the mobs up with some environmental damage, snipe the archers, what have you, and then scab the good weapons from their corpses when you're done.
And it's a good thing it is completely optional. You don't have to fight at all unless you need monster parts or treasure. In fact, the more monsters you kill the more the game spawns harder enemy types, until you start seeing silver bastards everywhere (who are often carrying royal weapons and they multiple gemstones when they die).
The fact the game doesn't use a checklist to tell you what to do in any given area, no enemy outposts to destroy or whatever, means you're just playing to have fun, not earn your cheevos like some sperg who needs a gamerscore to feel like he's accomplished something. That's fucking refreshing.

It's not unicode, you niggers. I checked.

Compare this with Just Cause for instance that has markers and tasks to do in each area with pointers and status update for each one of them and rewards to progress in equipment.
You end up grabbing an helicopter so you can fly fast, blow things from up high and move on to the next settlement as fast as possible.

BOTW instead lets me climb a huge mountain\tower, grab the binoculars and look at something in the distance, mark it in my map and then start hiking there. Or just looking at the map and seeing suspicious areas. It feels more like an adventure, not a linear progression or a "todo list".

I had a couple questions concerning the Gerudo. What's with the fair skinned Gerudo? I thought the reason they were dark was because they live in the desert. Also, how are they populated? They look for husbands and get married, but men aren't allowed in town. Do they mate then return pregnant?

DEEPEST LORE

you could put your foot in the door and post fuzzy lolis instead of just being wrong about everything

My friend had a theory regarding the Gerudo.
"Gerudo + any race = Gerudo daughter"

And I think what you said is close, but not quite. Some of them have to do that, since there's Gerudo children running around, but the game makes it a point that the goal of any Gerudo woman is to leave her home and find a suitable husband.
And you actually see this happen a few times.

So they are reverse Xenomorphs?
They seek a mate, then they install a chestwomb burster inside their cunt combining the genetic traits of both?
Guess that explains the fair skinned Gerudo, they are bred from Hylians…

Lucky Hylians have a chance to bang their spawn, or have their spawn fall in love with them

DEEPEST SEXUAL LORE

>>>/bog/

are there any female rito?

Yes.

I forget when BotW takes place. Are the Rito birds evolving into people or people evolving into birds?

Yeah. I was getting Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas vibes. That was touted as being huge for it's time but just as aimless. So many new mechanics but it doesn't add much to a cohesive whole. The main dungeons needed to be better than just the shrines which are scattered and range from great to okay. Breath of the Wild will be looked back as a great foundation and hopefully the next Zelda will build upon it much better.

I like it. There's more to interact with in the world than MGSV had, although playing BOTW just makes me wish it controlled as well as MGSV does. They both have good and bad points, including a few I haven't touched on.
Also since no one will read this, I just wanted to claim the girl in the Hateno village clothes store as my waifu.

pick one

That's because it's just Dark Souls for nintendo babbies.

Well, at least it's not the young hag…

So like with Jews? As long as your Jewish heritage comes from your mother's side of the family, you are Jewish, according to Talmudic law?

They're both pretty autistic, honestly.

It's not just Dark Souls. It's Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Red Dead Redempion, Minecraft, Portal, and Dark Souls.

Please, I must learn how to aesthetic text.

One of the few characters in the game that reacts differently when you talk to her shirtless

So would you say that's it's definitely a love it or hate it sort of game?

Hey, can you faggots leave? thanks

so like the asari from mass effect?

How do you beat ganon's fire form if you don't have a shield? Arrows dont do shit to him and the meteor also seems unstoppable

Don't bother user, too many Nintendfags on here for you to be listened to.
I have over 120 hours into this and I just quit without finishing it…..it's boring and everything is drawn out to make the game last longer.

-expected sperging in 3, 2,…

Lies. The Zelda Nes and Snes games are amazing.

I beat it last weekend, and thought it was ok. I enjoy exploring games, but I can understand if people don't like the large amount of downtime, heck, I listened to podcasts at some points. It really felt like the game could have used more tools, but that could have messed with the open world concept, and the Gale skill and glider are pretty much all you would ever need. While I was going through Hyrule Caslte at the end, it made me realize how much I wanted longer dungeons in the game.

The Zora dungeon had my favorite gimmick, while the others were all kinda samey. They really dropped the ball with the Rito stuff, which was disappointing since that was the last area I visited. There was pretty much no reason to upgrade anything except your weapon limit with the seeds since shields aren't that useful and bows are limited by arrow quantity. The enemy variety was kinda disappointing, and I was disappointed there were no skulltulas, especially since you can escape most encounters easily by scaling a wall.

nice b8

Pretty sure you can destroy the meteor with a bomb throw too. Or drop a bomb cube and run away and wait for the meteor to pass over and trigger it.
Have you tried stopping the meteor with timestop and hitting it back to him in the time honoured tradition or magic tennis?

i'm definitely enjoying it more than skyward sword, besides the awful voice acting in cutscenes and shitty wii u framerate in towns, it's fun, especially the exploration and link dress up

So has anyone tried a 3 hearts run?

Went to beat ganon with 3 hearts, felt good.

Also is nice when you get a bow that can shoot 5 arrows and just waste one.

Just finished that a while ago after losing all my shields from failing to reflect the laser, you gotta dodge the fire sword swings just right so you trigger the counter attack move, which pierces through the fire armor.

Use Naboris power, but I think that only works if he's in the walls.

Just bomb him you nigger.

Just like parry man

Open world games are boring. But that has got nothing to do with Zelda.

Personally I'm old school: give me a well written adventure with good voice acting, cutscenes and a fantastic OST. But those days are gone, at least for triple A.

Oy?

пиздец тут говноеды сидят

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is everyone forgetting that their lore states only one male every 100 years is born?

Isn't it obvious that only females can be born until that 100 years is up, and if they mate with lighter / darker males, lighter / darker gerudo daughters are born?

I mean… If you're that bored you could just fight the final boss right now and end your playthrough.

Nintendo games are boring.

Can you analyze why you think he isn't "hot as fuck"? Because he seems pretty hot to me with his caring and intelligent yet playful eyes mixed with grade a body. Being a sort of a warrior poet is the highest form of human existence, why not admire it?

...

It's been the most fun I've had with an open world since Morrowind and the best AAA game since Tropical Dong. For the first time since Wind Waker I felt like I was going on an adventure when I played this game, though like WW that magic will probably be gone if I play it a second time. On the other hand I had to rush to the end since Spring Break was ending so I never really saw the western half of the map outside of the Gerudo/Rito villages, so maybe if I go that way I'll get the same feeling again. It also reminded me a lot of Samurai Jack, but that might be because it was on my mind constantly due to the new season.
Some problems that I haven't seen anons here bring up, both major and minor

Why do faggots and furries derail every thread?

Just like a nintendo babby game thread to get derailed by furshit. Lel

I could teach you the secrets of slightly large text.

I hated it, then kind of liked it, then really fucking hated it after I finished. Huge flaws, tons of wasted potential. world is too large, too easy. It's MGS5/10, clearly unfinished.

I think what you're trying to do is make a slight mistake in your formatting so that a clever user could look at the "error" and figure it out, but the "error" is obscure enough to not just be giving it away.

I just pasted the alphabet in uppercase and lower for each set of characters, then a sentence or two I had assembled for use elsewhere in the past. I don't use auto-replace scripts or anything, because I can't be assed to expend the effort of doing this constantly, but if people want to talk all fancy-like and wow the normalfaggots, then more power to them.

That is correct, as anthro is a bottom-of-the-barrel fetish. Horseshoe theory users belong on boards like Holla Forums and /furry/ instead.

It just means they work like monster girls, user.

Faggots spamming their fancy text but not sharing are boring faggots, so let's make this interesting instead.

Seems about right.

Furniggers tend to stay away from anything that isn't normalfag shit.

It's just unicode, there are hundreds of sites that allow you to type that way.
Or you could manually type out their number with the numpad if you can somehow remember them all.

Seems about right.

Yeah that stuff's just unicode but there actually are a lot of hidden formatting techniques that you can't find anywhere. Everyone knows how to use italics and bold and strikethrough and underline and large and
redtext
but there's a lot more nifty shit out there that I wish I knew.

Jesus doing shit like
this
Isn't hidden, people just don't do it a lot.

There's more than just code, spoiler and greentext. I've seen special fonts that you couldn't just copy, it was special formatting built in just like all this other stuff.

And so the moral purists and metashitters shit up another potentially good discussion while pretending that they aren't the problem.

How morally pure are you, user? 卐

Oh no, it was just special text copied from unicode sites.
Like this post
The only formatting option you haven't listed is something I think was called LaTeX?
I'm not sure if it even exists on the site anymore. It might have been removed because it's not in the FAQ anymore.
8ch.net/faq.html#how-do-i-format-my-text
The above link has every time of embedded site formatting.

I'm pretty sure latex was removed a long time ago.
It was so complex to use that nobody ever used it.
This is what the formatting for latex used to look like
$$\left[\frac{top}-{kek}\right]$$
That'll probably just come out as a bunch of letters and punctuation marks, you used to use it like that.

I don't buy it.

Woooooooooow! How was I supposed to know a Nintendo thread would be shit.

you should be more worried that the young'uns are perverted, deviant motherfuckers with sexual crushes on fictional bird-men.

If only Sega had won the 90s console war…

This place is already filled to the brim with raging autists and hopeless depressed NEETs.
Having a few more sonic games wouldn't change anything.

Seriously? A lot of people just google "cool text format cursive" to find pages that let you type whatever you want and then Ctrl+C\Ctrl+V the formatted text.
I'm sure all it does is automatically add the right Unicode character to format it and it's copied along but a lot of "fancy text" posters probably aren't even aware of that.

Anyway, yeah it's just that. Just google "cool text cursive" to find sites for this kind of shit. That's (mostly) the whole trick.

Because Holla Forums has been invaded by a bunch of retarded children and low-effort secondaries that just visit to laugh at bad games and therefore every game has to be bad for them otherwise it's not fun because they sure as heck ain't gonna play any.
And nobody noticed their arrival because "Holla Forums hates videogames" is the purity test chosen by said retarded children and low-effort secondaries to "ward off normalfags and redditors", nevermind that anyone can fake hatred and only children believe purity tests actually work.

So yeah, X thread will be shit because the majority would rather have another Tortanic over a good videogame. Easier to have fun with, you don't even have to play it.

...

Sega invented console wars and fanboyism. They deserve everything they got just for that.
