    How much do you play games you hate?

    Spawned by a discussion my friends and I were having: I don't particularly like elden ring even though I've put well over 500 hours into it by now. My friends seem to think this means I can't dislike the game, because if I didn't like it, I wouldn't play it. But my perspective is that I have...

    Who created the labyrinths?

    I've got nothing, aside from this being basically the only reference to the three virtues of power wisdom and courage that we have in the game

    Tears of the Kingdom Favorite things about tears

    What are some things you liked about tears of the kingdom? For me, I liked the story and the new abilities. The new bosses were also fun and unique for the most part Note that this thread is not the place to give criticisms disguised as compliments, make sarcastic comments, or instigate fights...

    Do we really need a jump button?

    When botw first got trailers, everyone was excited about the sheer novelty of "local boy learn[ing] to jump after 30 years" But now after two games of a dedicated jump button I'm starting to feel that it's just not necessary? Like, a lot of this stuff we currently use the X button for can...

    Spoiler This boss's phase two was unbelievably bad [gerudo dungeon spoilers]

    Queen gibdo is a cool looking boss for sure and I wasn't having that great of a time fighting it to begin with, but phase two was just ridiculous. Running around and blowing up all the ads is fine, but the light that shines down made it literally impossible for me to see anything. The whole...

    Tears of the Kingdom Tears of the kingdom art book

    So I got the art book and it's awesome. Couple of neat things about it but unfortunately it's in Japanese. Did anyone get the art book? Can you read Japanese and is there any interesting tidbit you found?

    Tears of the Kingdom How do you feel about Zelda's new design?

    Most of us hated Zelda's design in botw. I can't put my finger exactly on what's different about her but I do think the new design works great

    Spoiler The You-Know-What [First Dungeon spoilers]

    Upon completing a not-divine-beast the subsequent cutscene explains to you and the sage descendant the events that happened in their time, AKA the imprisoning war. But the imprisoning war took place after the events of ocarina of time according to the current timeline. This doesn't fit with...

    Tears' marketing cycle has been so bizarre

    Aside from the obvious constant delays, tears' marketing has been pretty bizarre. What is the elevator pitch of tears? All we know about the game is that Zelda is probably taken again and ganondorf probably returned somehow. We still have no information on the strange iconography shown in the...

    Features the Switch is STILL missing

    The switch is potentially nearing the end of its lifespan (although I hope not, it still feels like a fresh console) but throughout these last 6 years barely any new features have been added, software or hardware. What are some features you think were a missed opportunity? Some of mine...

    What constitutes an open world in Zelda?

    This poll is meant to help disambiguate what people mean when they say "open world". The general concept is pretty simple of course, but it can get nuanced, especially if you consider a difference between simply open world and an open world game. So, vote for what games you consider to be open...

    My Zelda Timeline Theory

    This is my current working wheel timeline theory. Basically, any timeline that breaks the curse of demise will branch off into a linear timeline and escape. Any other timeline will loop back into the main cycle of the curse. This does a good job of explaining 2 inconsistencies in the official...

    Favorite/least favorite literary devices

    I've started listening to the game of thrones books now and I hate it. Or more accurately, I hate the author's use of dramatic irony. Probably one of my least favorite literary devices, it burns me inside, as it's meant to. What are some of your least favorite literary devices? As for...

    Elegant Design Solutions

    Every now and then, you'll hear a story about or maybe reverse engineer a problem that developers had to overcome, and the solution they arrived at just really tickled your fancy with how clean and elegant it was. For me, a lot of magic cards hit this sweet spot, but I've also appreciated...

    Flawed Masterpieces; suboptimal/poor design choices

    Oftentimes the most iconic, influential, and masterful games of all time are games that are also flawed to some degree. Some would argue all games have flaws; I don't think this is necessarily true but that can be discussed "If players like your game, but nobody loves it, the game will fail."...

    How integral is time travel to the series as a whole?

    I've always considered Zelda intrinsically a story concerning time travel or at the bare minimum the concept of zeitgeist regardless of the themes each inatallment focuses on, despite not all games featuring time travel mechanics. What so you think?

    I Love Soup

    I love soup so much! My mom stopped cooking it, even though I want her to and it is so annoying! Why does she buy pizza or something instead of cooking that treasure. Soup isn't just some lumpy drink that only old people need to eat, so I know what the appeal is to anyone! And it is just the...

    Dark Souls Mafia

    Yes, indeed… The Darksign continues to plague humanity, those branded locked far away to the north. Good men have begun to curse Gwyn’s name, believing him to be responsible for the curse of the Undead. Few remember the Age of Fire; the world grows colder, becoming Ash. Yet hope for the...

    How do you feel about BOTW's stamina bar?

    The stamina bar in BOTW is interesting because it's one of the only linear mechanics in the obnoxiously nonlinear game. That being said, it caused a lot of problems for me personally when I played and demanded to be fully upgraded almost immediately just to be able to climb and swim...
