Nintendo Switch

So I got a bone to pick with myself,

Nine Hearts in, and I took the words of a torch from @Chris Galindo as I went into finding the Korok forest, after failing quite badly once.

And, thanks to him, I finally got to the Master Sword, and Korok Forest..but I have now found a new problem.

I, am terrified, of pulling out the Master Sword. In quite frankly one of the strangest manner of events, this is the first time since Arkham Asylum with Croc for me, that I am terrified, to do something as simple as pulling out the all-powerful sword that "seal's the darkness". I don't know why, but this is something I never thought I'd say, but I am honestly unsure if I am going to go with the Master Sword for end-game, and keep in mind, I am two Divine Beasts down now (Revali and Mipha), so it isn't like I do have 5 more to go.

I am..pretty unsure of what to do next, and quite frankly, this may be the reason to why my experience with BoTW may be cherished more than I originally thought, as I am seeing it as the "experience" as opposed to a simple game. And you know what, I think that's what Nintendo intended for, and it's working.

yeah, so the game encourages you to find your own path, and play how you want. Personally, I spent most of my time seeking out shrines because I enjoyed all the "mini puzzles" in the game. I saved most of the divine beast stuff for later. Revali's Gale is probably the most useful "power" in the game. So it's good that you got that one. It saves a lot of time when trying to explore.

the Master sword is great, but has it's own limitations, so it's not the "be all/end all" weapon. You will still be using plenty of other weapons dropped or found.

You can’t pull it until you have 13 hearts anyway.

Just began playing BOTW myself.

Currently watching a Super Mario Odyssey level walkthrough on Youtube (don't have a Switch, so I can't play it:curse and holy crap. Now I get why this game is getting 10/10's. I haven't smiled this much at a video game since I played Super Mario 64.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing SMO!

Odyssey is great, and is filled with fan service...

but it’s not 10/10, I wouldn’t even say 9/10. The basic platform ing mechanics are super tight, but the content you access with those mechanics can feel...a bit rushed. Re-used bosses and levels, lazy moons, small areas to explore, lots of empty space...not great.

Retro Studios could be in big trouble...
Glassdoor Reviews of Retro point to trouble in Texas | ResetEra

If this is true, it really does explain why Nintendo didn’t go with them for Prime 4.

I think most of the people responsible for Metroid Prime have left anyway. The last game was over 10 years ago. They had 3 of those games release in a 5 year span. In the 10 years since then all they've done is 2 DKC games...

With respect, I couldn’t disagree more. I would absolutely rate it a 10 without hesitation. The level design is incredible, and the game is accessible to a wide variety of skill levels (this is probably where your point around “lazy moons” comes in). I couldn’t tell you how many hours I’ve put into this, and my 4 year old son loves it as well. To each their own, I suppose.

Just sent in my left Joy-Con to get the analog stick fixed. Am I done gaming until it comes back? Heck no, that’s what my new Pro Controller is for

I needed one eventually for multiplayer anyway so now was as good a time as any to get it.

What happened with the stick?
I need to get a second controller as well, probably will get a wired one though.

It was very hard to click it in which for Fortnite is terrible because you need to do that to run. This will now prevent any future problems too.

Ah ok. I find my joycon sticks click too easy, so I am moving in BOTW and suddenly crouch down lol.

Also, loving BOTW so far, or as I like to call it: Legend of Zelda: mountain climbing simulator

Two major Ports are coming.

The first, is a port of the hit fighting game, Skullgirls from Lab Zero coming to Switch both Physically and Digitally.



The second, is the reveal of Panic Button's big July port, is none other than a port of Warframe.

The way Warframe was announced is priceless lol.

Can we get less ports and more original IPs and content please that aren't indie but AAA games.

Warframe is pretty much an AAA game. It’s on the same level as Rocket League.

Yeah, Warframe is surprisingly large for what it is, regardless if it's not from a Triple AAA Studio.

Its still a port unfortunately...I'm talking exclusive AAA games.

Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, Smash, Pokémon 2019, Metroid Prime 4, etc.

This is a Nintendo system. What were you expecting?
