Tingle erasure.

the strenght of Nintendo games is just that high. No matter how much you want to resist them, they still are the company that releases Mario and Zelda, and that’s difficult to beat :(

yeah, I actually was more intrigued for the story than the exploration. Now that’s done, I have a pretty nice sandbox to sink a few hours in here and there.

this is so wrong it’s almost funny. Where do you get it, TikTok?

I used Ryujinx. I can’t say about how well it ran because my laptop is kind of shitty (I had trouble installing the emulator, for some reason), but nothing catastrophical. Nevertheless, the game is doing some clever stuff behind the scenes to keep the world “continuous”, that’s for sure

make me, bitch.

if my opinion influeces anything on anyone, that’s their problem.

Guilty of both lol.

I know, I work hard on it :3

I fail to see how the leaks prevent any of that. Zelda is getting a nomination regardless of anything (maybe even the quality of game itself).

mainline stuff, mostly. Hyrule is not *that* different (although there are a couple things I’m excited to discuss openly with other fans later), so I didn’t feel too compelled to exhaustively explore all of it. I can see myself getting 100 extra hours out of the game, though.

ah, man, fuck Nintendo. Love your games, but it would be easier to just ignore the leaks.

nah, they are pretty much extinct. Hell, even the dudes with hexagonal PFPs in Twitter (pre-Musk at least, I don’t know today) were getting rarer by the day. And good riddance.

remember when the comments were infested by defensive cryptobros? Terrible times.

“Like Inside Out, But Sexy”

I didn’t say “serious”, I said “with respect”. It’s actually a big difference. You can make comedies and farces about war, but the best ones have the aknowledgement of how fucked-up the whole thing is. Advance War doesn’t do that, which is why tonally the game is weird.

eh, I think there are some topics that you need to approach with some tact or respect regardless of the target audience. As some other commenter said, the jarring tone of the game has been the butt of joke for a while because it’s weird. If Nintendo wanted a light-hearted strategy game, maybe war wasn’t the best theme…

well, BotW started development as a WiiU exclusive, no? That’s why the slate is basically a GamePad.

I really, really hope we get a more traditional dungeon experience in TotK (for me, Hyrule Castle doesn’t really count). The Beasts and Shrines were fun at the time, but tellingly, I don’t have any desire to revisit them at all, which is a first for me when it comes to Zelda (I can probably navigate Stone Tower Temple…
