Mostly yes. The grinding in this game feels way better than the first HW, getting little stories about how the materials actually help makes the world feel more alive and gives them more purpose than simply seeing a number go up.
The missions themselves lean a little too heavily on having super...
Rewatching the BotW sequel trailer, it looks like Zelda and Link are exploring some sort of cave. I get the feeling the overworld itself won't really change much geographically, so how would you feel if to try and keep that feeling of discovery and a sense of the unknown a large part of the...
I agree on pretty much everything, AoC so far has been way better than HW. There are a few things I prefer about the first game, namely the music. Also, this is totally personal but HW had a lot of really special moments that AoC hasn't quite matched, largely relying on nostalgia. But like you...
I think they could try to incorporate dungeon items in a way that suits the open world format. Using the champion abilities from BotW as an example, what if the dungeon required those abilities but you were only able to use the powers outside the dungeon once the boss had been defeated...
I tend to abuse the staves a lot, exposing weak point gauges quickly is super nice. Other than that I just dodge around wildly and hope it works. Using stasis when the weak point gauge appears to extend how long you can chip away at it and then using a special to expose it immediately again...
Ehhhhhhhhhhhh, I don't really mind them but I'm not as excited about them as I was hoping to be. The controls just feel a little off, not to the point where I'm actively frustrated or annoyed but enough to turn me off the missions after doing one. Like, I'll have fun with a divine beast mission...
Full disclosure, I did grind Link, Impa, and Zelda to level 20 with the demo and get them pretty high level weapons.
Playing on hard so far and I'm not finding it too bad yet, defs had a few close calls though. I'm finding battles against other characters especially, a lot of the time I'm...
So far I'm loving Revali and Urbosa, think I prefer Urbosa just a lil more. Her lightning is sooooo satisfying to use.
Daruk and Mipha haven't quite clicked yet, but they're still loads of fun every now and then
Yeah, this defs feels like the kind of game you can really only get into if you like BotW in the first place. For what it's worth though, I do think it gets better after the first chapter. The first two missions are some of the most uninteresting, later missions start to feel more like the first...
Just picked up AoC and played through a few more missions, general impressions are still solid. The game defs has performance issues, but I started to find less problems with framerate and more with pop in (especially in death mountain). Other than that though, it's pretty solid so far. The...
At least the DQ demo is genuinely just the first ten hours of the game. AoCs demo is about three hours long, I just spent an ungodly amount of time grinding weapons/materials. Hey at least now I can make all the steak I'll ever need
I came extremely close to grabbing a PS5, but decided to hold off for a bit longer. I've still got a bit of a backlog of PS4 games so I'm not really in any hurry to get one, I'll probs wait a few months. Once a few more games are out and they become readily available enough that I can just walk...
