Links Awakening should have demonstrated to Nintendo that the 2d games will still sell on a hybrid console. They could be pumping out new 2d titles and remakes every few years to fill those gaps between 3d releases and make everybody happy.
Cool cool! Haven't played Skyrim in years myself, one day I'll go back. Probably take me years to decide which mods to use.
Yeah, would definitely recommend starting over if the character is old. Would start fresh and follow a build guide, the forum on the games website has loads of them. I'm usually a massive advocate for learning by doing, but Path is truly one of the few games where the experience is enhanced by having your hand held. It's just a lot otherwise. https://pathofbuilding.community is a pretty awesome tool that will likely be referenced by a lot of those guides too, really makes following things along a lot easier.
In terms of tangible tips: biggest mistake friends of mine I've helped get into the game tend to make is just prioritizing offense. Having capped or close to capped elemental resistances (75% unless you have something modifying them!) at almost all times is basically starting point towards having an effective character.
Ranged characters tend to be more successful and easier to play in Path of Exile as well, so maybe start that way if it's an appealing enough flavor of character!
I spent the last few weeks finally catching up on breath of the wild so I could go in to tears of the kingdom and oh boy, it's so good and I'm having so much fun. Haven't even thought about playing anything else for a little while now - though now I'm even more keen to play through some of the zelda classics.
I never finished BOTW and was gonna go finish it first, but my buddy bought a Totk edition OLED switch after already having bought the game so he gave me his extra copy. I gotta say, as fantastic as BOTW is, Totk is legitimately even better! You've got a lot to look forward to!
Love both. Totk is objectively a better game. But I think there's merit in going back to play botw. There's more of an element of exploration and survival in the wilderness to it that I don't feel in totk.
Final Fantasy XIV continues to dominate most of my free time, but Honkai Star Rail has definitely muscled its way in too since its release. I sure won't pretend that it isn't predatory in its gacha monetization, but there's a good game in there and I'm a sucker for sci-fi settings and for JRPGs.
On the XIV front, I've only got about half a rank to go before maxing out Island Sanctuary again from the latest update. Pretty excited to dust off Blue Mage again too when patch 6.45 drops.
I think they will do it. But I think it will be to incentivize users to get the 3rd game on whatever PlayStation platform is out by then. I only have uncertainty about it being the PS5 because it most likely would not come out until what? 2028? Microsoft themselves admitted in disclosures in the ActiBlizz acquisition that they anticipate next gen hardware coming in 2028. So PS6? Maybe?
