I wish more games were like #BotW and #TotK and shut up. So many games have their head stuck up their butt about talking about themselves and not letting me play. #gamedev#gamedesign#legendofzelda
Here's a rant that should get me kicked off a couple lists: Breath of the Wild #BotW is bad and its game designers should feel bad.
There is nothing - nothing - fun about your weapon breaking after looking at two enemies, and thus having to carry and farm 300 copies of the same weapon to avoid this problem.
There are far, far, far, far, far better ways to encourage different strategies and playstyles besides this boneheaded, shortsighted, bad, stupid, dumb, and terrible mechanic.
Wait, #LegoFortnite isn't a big online pvp battle thing? I thought that's what the whole idea behind #Fortnite. After watching Floydson's 100 Days video, it's clearly a survival crafter. And I think it's single player, possibly with some co-op options?
I don't think #Minecraft is the best comparison—it reminds me a lot more of #BreathOfTheWild with the blueprints, janky vehicles, gliders, character leveling, and potions. It doesn't look like it has the puzzles, plot, or boss fights of #BOTW. To offset that, the village building; automation via NPCs, and machinery add some potential for depth.
I guess this is just me being old and out of touch with the games played by kids these days. Certainly looks fun.
#GenshinImpact is very pretty and always gives me FOMO surrounded by people playing it, but every time I revisit and play it I honestly feel lost lol. And while it's really fun for the most part, my expectations perhaps got set a lil too high for it (due to the pretty visuals, and popularity) so when I encounter some jankiness in certain elements of gameplay, it feels a bit jarring. The mechanics feel like it could be as fluid as #NierAutomata or as polished as #Zelda#BOTW/#TOTK, but it's not. It's not all bad though, I'd say 80-90% of it is great - esp considering that it's free (so far at least for me, not sure if the later parts of the game would require/incentivise you to spend any money).
I am actually toying with the idea of finishing all of the shrines before finishing the main quest of Tears of the Kingdom. As someone who didn’t even come close to finishing Breath of the Wild this is an unexpected development.
I took that approach in #BotW, but only after playing about 2/3 through the game on the Wii U, setting it down unfinished for over a year, and starting from scratch on the Switch later.
So maybe not presenting the best approach to emulate.
ok so #intro toot even tho i've been here since march !!!
i'm hoisa or ren, i'm 27, transmasc nb (he/they pronouns) and from spain
i normally toot in english but use spanish in other social media
i'm looking for moots interested in:
I can’t believe I finally finished the Messages From An Ancient Era quest in #Zelda. I’ve been working on this one for months, bit by bit. Finally turned my attention to it and checked it off.
Wish I knew how many more quests were left to do. Only 4 active at the moment, including the 2 mains left. GETTING CLOSE!
@gedeonm I’m pretty sure I clocked close to 400 on #BreathOfTheWild because I finished it, then restarted a no mini-map/pins run.
In #TearsOfTheKingdom I am 210 hours in, 100 shrines 75 lightroots and not even 10% of the Koroks. While I doubt I will 100% it, I’m trying to get close. I skipped a lot of side quests and such in #BOTW but want to savor #TOTK so I’m trying to do all the things!
My 9yo, who has been on a big #BotW kick for a few months asked me "What's the easiest Zelda game?" I personally think all of them (except BotW) are not difficult in the sense she means. I told her Windwaker is probably the easiest (which disappointed her, since it's not on switch)
If you had told me #FZero99 would make it so I don't finish #BotW yet I wouldn't have believed you but here we are playing 3 nights straight after work :blobfoxangrylaugh:
@GossiTheDog Cool! Like walking right into monster camps wearing Majora's Mask in #BOTW/#TOTK. If I'm careful to pick them off one at a time away from the others, they never raise the alarm and gang up on me.
It reminds me of when I got my #Nintendo#Switch on Day 1 but my copy of #Zelda#BOTW didn’t arrive until the following Monday. I downloaded #ShovelKnight, and while I knew it was a great game I also knew it was filler until the big release.
So when you’re completing a block puzzle left in the middle of the woods with no instruction by Koroks, you’re performing stigmergy, like a wasp might do with its fellows’ nest. It turns out that bugs just really are great at block puzzles? #books#wasps#korok#totk#botw
