Is 17 enemies supposed to be an extensive list of enemies to go up against or something? You’re proving my point for me there pal.

Finishing my first playthrough now as well, and good lord is the combat system freakin’ atrocious. The controls are “scream at the tv and throw my controller out the window” bad at times. I honestly cannot for the life of me understand how this game was considered one of the greatest games of all time when it came out…

Which part of that is inaccurate? I’m finishing my first playthrough now and there was a shocking dearth of things to do in the world (and what there was was frequently just a reskin of stuff I’d seen within the first few hours of gameplay. “Here’s a great fairy with different hair, and a new lynel that’s blond, or a…

Wholeheartedly agree. The rain is incredibly annoying. I don’t get why upgrading the climbing gear to it’s max wasn’t the in-game solution to this. That honestly is such a no brainer that it’s mind boggling not to include it- the game presents a challenge, creates an annoyance that obstructs your ability to accomplish…

Not to mention that virtually everything that IS in the open world is a literal reskin of shit you saw within the first 2 hours of playing. Every great fairy, every stable, every shrine, enemies in the mountains that are just white versions of the ones in the plains, the big bad enemies that just have different hair…

I’m currently finishing my first playthrough now, and good lord do I think this game is overrated. I honestly consider it to be, by far, the most overrated game I’ve ever played. I don’t think it’s bad or anything- it’s perfectly adequate, if almost completely forgettable. But IGN ranked it the fifth best game OF ALL…

I’m playing it now for the first time and have not been enjoying it much at all for the very same reasons you listed. I’m a little surprised at how much love it’s gotten- I’m 30 hours or so in at this point and think its arguably the most overrated game in history. There’s not much to do, the story isn’t interesting…

Glad to find someone else that feels this way. I finally got around to playing it like a year ago and I honestly couldn’t finish it fast enough. It was cutesy, I suppose, but I feel like the only thing it had going for it was the nostalgia factor. I get that it reminded a lot of us of games we played 30 years ago, but…

Just seeing this now, on November 24, 2020, fully three years after you lodged this complaint. It’s a shame too, because I wanted to actually talk about some of these games, but no way am I going to post a comment about BotW into the oblivion in the hopes that someone will sift through 3 years of comments to respond…

Eh, I have played maybe 30 minutes of Zelda games in my whole life (and not for at least 25 years), so I went into it with no expectations or preconditions. Just think there’s not much there, and what is there is repetitive and unsatisfying (every shrine looks the same and is pretty much the same difficulty, every…

I’m finally playing through BotW now (just bought a switch a month or two ago), and I could not agree more. The characters are utterly bland and boring (and the terrible voice acting doesn’t help to bring them to life). Honestly, I’ve found BotW to be undeniably the most overrated game I’ve ever played. It’s perfeclty…

The markets are going to be too complex to simply reconstruct with a quick google search. You can review the various statutes and codes in various jurisdictions to get an idea on how those are calculated (good luck with that lol), but the calculations necessary to be able to compute how much Sony is spending in excise…

The sales tax (and, as I understand it, the VAT) are paid by the consumers at time of purchase. I was pointing out that their are duties and fees imposed on imports at the time of importation. Those vary significantly based on a variety of factors, including international trade agreements between nations. Those costs…

I’m not sure that extra money goes to Sony. A lot of those costs are going to be taxes and duties imposed by your governments on imports of electronics, so Sony/Microsoft/etc. are taking home the same amount but they have to raise the prices charged to consumers in order to get to that same amount. Not really sure how…

It’s a complicated consideration, for sure. The consumer base is greater, but the upfront costs of a AAA game have also skyrocketed (my guess, with no analysis done or evidence, is that the costs have gone up by a proportionally larger amount than the consumer base increases, but I could be wrong- just a hunch). All…

When did video games start costing $60 at release? I feel like it was a VERY long time ago, which means that we’ve all been getting a very good deal for a very long time given inflation. $70 for a new game doesn’t seem unreasonable to me, and I’m actually a little surprised about how long its taken for the price to…

Yup. Couldn’t make it past that first big ass bonfire in Bloodborne for like a week, so I gave up on the game for a solid 6 months. Finally got around to playing it again and realized I needed to adjust my playstyle, and I’d say that it’s now probably my favorite game of all time. Getting gud at these games is just so…

Good one!

Lol, classic :)

For sure. This serves as a nice reminder to me that you never know what’s going on on the other end of the screen. It’s easy to throw a snarky or judgmental comment into the fray, but a little bit more grace online goes a long way. You do what you gotta do to deal with what you’ve got going on pal. Nothing but love.
