Pokemon has entered the chat

Idk if people are defending it or not. I agree with you though, OP. I watched the demo, and it looked like a DLC. Nothing major seemed to have changed. I’m also pretty convinced there won’t be any big dungeons in this either, if there were Nintendo would have talked about it already. Oh well, maybe the next game 6 years from now will have that.

I didn't even like the last Zelda game so this means nothing to me...

Yeah, the thing that made wow so special is the thing that cannot exist anymore BECAUSE of the times.

The best thing about wow was exploring out in the wild and randomly seeing someone else doing the same. I made my first long term net friend running from troggs near Karanos.

Now, everyone is using the same speed Lvling guide to level as fast as possible, and people run right past everyone because everyone is trying to max lvl as fast as possible. It's so streamlined that most of the servers are on the exact same paths to get to places, doing the exact same quests and skipping the same quests.

You don't randomly meet strangers in the wild anymore to team up

The Scarface and Godfather games were both pretty cool

My brother once went into detail about the kinds of mentalities players have when playing a certain race. For gnomes, he said (and I quote), “Gnome players have a screw lose. I’m convinced. [They’re] the kids that torture ants outside with a magnifying glass.”

This made me laugh harder than it should have.

I think part of the fun of breath of the Wild was discovering the map. And I feel like part of the fun of Tears of the Kingdom will be seeing how that map that we all know has changed. Those of us that know breath of the wild well will come across so many moments where we just stop and go oh my God, the such and such is now thingy majig. I hope that will be enough to give the same sense of wonder.

Certainly a lot calmer than Goldshire, I can tell ya that!

Sure, if there's an entire hyrule sized area worth of them. but it looks like it's more like a skyloft sized area to explore. I'd pay 10$ for that as a DLC for BOTW.

Eh…I prefer to just simply use the originals and replace the control sticks (although it’s very time consuming it’s easy enough to do). But I say to each their own. We should be allowed to enjoy the games that we want the way that we want

Maybe 1996 or 2009 or 2022 or 2021. Maybe it's 1987 or 1988 depending where you live. Could be 1990 or 2002 or 2003 or 2001 or 2004 or 2015 or 2011

God I'm really enjoying this games downfall way too much lol.

I’m with you on this. The sense of wonder and the unknown was vast in the original game. At best you had some spotty article pages on Thottbot if you were lost. Now every inch of the world map has been marked and gone into detail by thousands of YouTubers. Not to mention every min/max guide for the flavor of the month so your character just ends up being uncompetitive or a complete cookie cutter. Really I wish we could go back to 2000s era internet in general, it was a lot more exciting.

That's why the volume I suggested is extremely low.

Forearms are a muscle that respond very well to high volume. We aren't really looking for them to get bigger so much as strengthen them against repetitive strain.

From what ive seen, lots of OLD zelda fans aren't happy. It seems to specifically be BotW fans

It seems odd to say since it's already over....

I'm going for it.

"No you couldn't use e-shop cards. Ya had to link to your Switch account."

Phew.

History restored.

I really fail to see how there isn't gonna be similar exploration. The sky islands are there, obviously, but also it's not gonna have all the same shrines and stuff. You'll be exploring in the exact same way, just to find new things. The fun of the exploration wasn't literally just seeing the landmass itself, it was the things or challenges you actually discovered. You admitting you're still buying it and hype for it really deflates your critique here too. But yeah, my point is, "it wont have the same exploration effect" is not actually a genuine criticism. It's a foolish one.

Aren't the sky islands, totaled together, somewhat equivalent in size to Hyrule from the first game? I mean, check out the scene of Link falling from the most recent gameplay demonstration, they're everywhere. Not to mention that there's bound to be some very real, tangible changes to Hyrule itself, and the new will most likely total up to about as much content as the first game. That's not even mentioning how the new abilities provide so many new ways of interacting with the environment. Should the game have come out sooner? Yes. But since Nintendo seems to be one of the few major studios that doesn't have a track record of crunching their devs, and with how hard COVID seemed to have hit the team, I'd rather be getting it in a complete state now than a broken mess a year or so ago.

Prey is one of my all time favorites

Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest were always my starting areas (Undead). I loved those areas so much especially coming off the high of WC3. The early years of WoW really were something special.

I still play the original on Xbox. 👍🏻

Loved my N64 Mad Katz controller back in the day. Even when the backing fell off, the control stick was like brand new.

Rock and stone, or you ain't comin' home!
