Well, that's soft confirmation that it won't be out this year. June would be the perfect time to start slipping some information out for a holiday release.
It's still Hyrule. It's got all the same tropes, locations, and monsters. I want to visit something that isn't Hyrule or Hytopia and isn't a "parallel world".
It's talked about like it's part of the kingdom and the Hylian royal family is treated as an authority figure there, so I'm inclined to say it's still in their purview.
Absolutely.
Confining each game to Hyrule makes the world feel very small. I never get the sense that there's anything beyond Hyrule, since nothing outside of it is mentioned and almost everything taking place beyond its borders is a "parallel world".
But it isn't explained or even hinted at. We've been told several times is irreversible, but then the transformation is just reversed without any sort of explanation. No one questions it. That's just some awful storytelling.
I guess I'd rather she just stay a dragon. Double down on the fact that it can't be undone. She sacrifices herself for the betterment of others and there's no coming back from that, and Link has to accept that outcome.
Yeah, but how? You can't repeatedly state that turning back is impossible just to undo it in the last five minutes with zero explanation. Keep her a tragic figure who gave up her mortal self to save this one mute twink who lives in her house.
Honestly. TotK is a story with such low stakes and...
I'd remake them in a 3D graphical style, but I'd want them to be more than just a graphical remake. I say expand upon and develop the game further with the technology available now. Pull a Resident Evil.
I'm not a fan of the idea. Heck, I wasn't a fan of Zelda's transformation in Totk. The game spends half its flashbacks talking about how you can't turn back if you eat your magic pebble and turn into a dragon, but then the game just... has the Zonai turn her back without any explanation as to...
No.
The very existence of the Zonai and the implication that they were active during the earliest bits of Hyrule is at odds with the kingdom's history as we know it, since they just didn't exist back then. Unfortunately, it's just what the series does. Nintendo seems afraid to offer any direct...
Wait, that's my bad. Lemme recycle my message.
I don't think any statement was made about BotW's canon, but it's not like it fits into the timeline less than any other game in the series.
Almost exclusively. For whatever reason I shifted into playing female characters at some point after Mass Effect 3. If I can create a character who choose who to play then I almost exclusively choose the female option.
A gaming laptop if you've any interest in gaming with it. If you catch a sale it's not too hard to find something with decent performance for a reasonable price.
Do it. I'm of the mind that all the old fogies still cluttering up development should be nudged into retirement. I'd love to see Zelda move on without corporate and managerial mandates saying it has to adhere to a particular gameplay and narrative formula.
I'm pretty sure the solution to each puzzle is highlights on the wall of the opposite shrine. There's a second shine on the mountain that offers the solution it the first, while the first contains the solution for the second.
I recommend taking a screenshot.
The only thing I tend to keep in mind is how consistently incompetent the monarchy is. They're typically portrayed as idiots with no foresight, no record-keeping, and whose military forces crumble at the drop of a hat.
War.
War never changes.
The year is 1992. Wolfenstein 3D hits store shelves. While technically the third entry in the Wolfenstein series, the first two entries are but whispers on the gentle brush of gaming history. Fresh on the market with weapons to wield, floors to descend, and Nazis to...
Today I did a little fleet managing at my fleet manager job by reassigning a driver to pick up an assigned load after the original driver called off work sick. I consulted their dispatcher's board that contained all the relevant information on who to use and what loads were assigned to them...
In a world where AMD and Nvidia quit jorking each other off and produce meaningful upgrades? A new GPU. I'd like to get something more powerful, but the Nvidia 40x series just felt like a waste of time when I've got a 3070 in my PC.
Despite being knee-deep in Dragon's Dogma 2 I've decided to pick up a copy of the System Shock remake. It's been on my radar for a minute now and I decided to take the plunge after I spotted it for 50% off on GOG.
Dragon's Dogma 2.
Like the first game this is a bit of a weird one. It's mechanically fun, but can often be obtuse in its design or frustrating it's repetition. It's got some great combat and exploration mechanics, especially the returning ability to cling monsters, but that combat is often...
I tens to be a back sleeper. I'll sometimes roll on my left side when I'm shifting around and trying to get comfortable, but I'll always shift to my jack in the end.
I tend to be a creature not habit. I settle on something I like and tend to stick with it. Heck, I'm such a dull creature of habit that I will seek out a restaurant's menu before I get there so I can order right away without having to waste the server's time.
It depends on the streamer. I'm not really interested in watching someone play a game so much as I am interesting commentary and interactions. It has to be the sort of streamer who can entertain me without being the focus of my screen.
Helldivers 2 and Dragon's Dogma 2 are my current obsessions. They're both great in their own ways, but there's a certain chaos to HD2 that not many games can replicate.
I think the caves could be fun, but I think it would have been nice if we saw differing themes throughout, like how Elden Ring mixes up its own side dungeons as caves, dungeons, and tombs.
Many, but probably Elden Ring. That's a game that blows your expectations out of the water with how big it is. You'll spend dozens of hours in game and think, 'There's no way they could drop a whole other region on me,' and then the game reveals some huge secret area you didn't know about before.
Usually, no. The old Xbox 360 days of racial and homophobic slurs being hurled through cheap pack-in headsets ingrained in me that voice chat with randoms is to be avoided. When I'm in voice chat it tends to be with friends and is usually done through an external client like Discord.
Until the...
