This by itself doesn't raise any red flags for me.

They could just be increasing there team for some other project, or hiring some more talent to polish up the game, both are possible. Sometimes people leave the company for personal reasons and need to be replaced, there can be so many factors behind this.

Nintendo shadow dropped Metroid Prime 1, which to be honest doesn't make any sense to me, but I think it shows they have some sort of roadmap to Prime 4 release, with Prime 2 and Prime 3 coming in few months. We may get a Prime 4 announcement next fiscal year, that is after March 2024.

What do you think? Any theories?

Ah, interesting.

slimerancher, 11 months ago

Yeah, not a fan of subscription model, specially for a paid game.

I am really excited for the game. Keeping an eye on it since it was first announced. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

slimerancher, 11 months ago

I haven’t… I usually like these kind of weird games, but all the trailers I have seen never attracted me. Well, I think it would be better to say, I have never really understood the game. Maybe I should look at some gameplays.

slimerancher, 11 months ago

Ah, nice. Thanks for the info. Sounds fun.

Diablo IV is a game worthy of number 1 spot.

This is a great year for gamers. So many highly anticipated games in different genres coming up, and it seems all of them are really good.

It would be interesting to see what spot Street Fighter 6 and Final Fantasy XVI take.

No need to be sorry, we all have our own ideology and preferences. I am not a fan of these micro-transactions either, but I can ignore them if they are just cosmetic.

slimerancher, 11 months ago

Yeah, the game is huge.

If you want linear game-play, just do the main quests. They even mention which quest you should do before, as everyone will talk about it. And just do some explorations and side-quests along the way. Gives the game a lot more structure.

Personally, I haven't used the dupe glitch, didn't even know about it until it was patched and saw someone mention that patch fixes it, but I have nothing against anyone using it in a single player game. If it's how you enjoy the game (and this isn't effecting anyone else), you do you.

Unfortunately, I wasn't acquainted with Nintendo when I was young, more of a Sega kid myself. Got curious about Nintendo after PS3, and was wondering what to get next when they announced Switch, and I moved over.

So, while I did play a little bit of A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time somewhere, my first proper Zelda game was BOTW. Since then I have played the original Zelda, Link to the Past and Link's Awakening remake. Also going to try rest of the Zelda available on Switch.

It happens. There are times when you don’t want to play anything new, and Mario Kart is kind of an eternal game.

Do you have the booster pack or just playing the original courses?

Good luck! Pikmin 4 looks pretty fun.

slimerancher, 11 months ago

I have never played Windwaker, hoping for a Switch remake / port. Or they can just add it in NSO.

Saw some random comment online, that they are Nintendo's emergency backup games, when they have nothing else, they can quickly release them to fill the gap.

Personally, I can never understand how Nintendo thinks.

Haha yeah, good thing you didn't went to Gerudo first, that has even more of a difficulty spike.

For most of the stuff, you don't even need to buy it, you can just find it from exploration. I found a piece of cold-resistant armour (different from the Rito one) from exploration, so I am still using that, instead of buying the one they are selling.

As for the ingredients for cooking, I just forage them, or when you kill monsters, they usually have some stuff lying around, some of them are often carrying some extra stuff, like meat, or fire flower etc.

The game does have the route of just go to shop and buy stuff, but you can play the whole game without buying anything.

I think the only exception will be Goron area... but maybe I just wasn't able to find a way around it. 😁

Ah, interesting to know about the Zelda games. And I agree TOTK is above BOTW for me too. It's everything BOTW was, and much more.

slimerancher, 11 months ago

Welcome to the world of Zelda! It truly is a masterpiece.

If you start with TotK, it may be difficult to go back to BotW, but if you do play it later, I would love to hear your feedback.

If you want to play Zelda games, you can try the older ones through different NSO apps, SNES, Gameboy etc. but they are all very different from TotK / BotW, and not everyone enjoys older games.

slimerancher, 11 months ago

Fair enough. There are so many good games coming out these days, if you want to play older games too, the list just keeps on increasing.

Spiritfarer is a really nice and relaxing game. I started playing it expecting a small 4-5 hours game, but it's pretty much a full length game.

I paused and moved away from it, but it's a game I want to return to. Just take your time and enjoy the game.

Also, patient gamers FTW! I am also a patient gamer, but with some minor exceptions. 😀

slimerancher, 11 months ago

I agree with that. More games should add accessibility features, specially single player ones.

And I haven't tried matching the total count of compendium, so not sure about the creatures, but it does have a lot more things to collect in this game. Again, don't want to spoil, but the different kinds of things you need to collect and quests / game mechanics related to collecting things are in much greater quantity than in BOTW.
