Who cares? It’s a single-player game, they’re not hurting anybody.

Googling “zelda where to farm [xyz]” and then farming [xyz] isn’t fun for everyone. Glad you find it fun, though.

Edit to clarify: you know you actually need the item first to actually duplicate it, right? So if I want to upgrade an item and it costs 10 hinox testicles and I already have 4 from beating two hinoxes. Why…

Obviously. Did that negatively affect my enjoyment of the game? Did it affect you or those around me? Did the game punish me? Did Nintendo? Nope. There’s no law about cheating in a casual single player playthrough. I gain nothing but time, and I lose nothing but the respect of some guy in the greys in the Kotaku…

Hitting rocks to get gems to get rupees is not exactly an “amazing” time. I just beat the game yesterday, and it was one of the most satisfying boss battles I’ve ever had the pleasure of engaging with. Duplicating 300 diamonds did not take a damn thing away from my enjoyment.

Because repeated mindless grinding is so much fun.....

“I still think that the decision to change the main character from Basch to Vaan as it just massively messes up the whole story”

Except that makes the analogy bad.  There is nothing wrong with playing Hardcore Diablo IV, and the fact that people are losing their characters for bullshit reasons they have no control over is messed up. 

ok, a druid killed by the environment does strike me as unusually ironic.

Though if he does eventually get to level 100 with a new character the victory might be all the sweeter.

How many fucking layers of people are on that video? Why do I need a group of streamers streaming a streamer?

Yeah, I think that’s a mistake in the article, or poorly worded. I think what actually happened was that he set a world record in that tournament and got first place in the tournament, but later somebody beat his record, moving him down to second place world record.

To be fair, the history of speed cubing only became required curriculum in American Highschools in the late 90s and most schools in the south refuse to teach it because of the Cube of Rubik’s association with summoning demons

Lighting a car on fire next to a home has the potential of turning into something far more deadly. Force would’ve been justified here.

I know it’ll be hard, but the best way for her to give this guy the finger is to go on with her life and he has to pick up the pieces for his actions.

This almost has to be incel behavior.

I appreciate this troll comment. A+ joke.

I see where you’re coming from, but given it’s been 12 years since Skyrim or a Skryim-like game, making it clear it’s a Skryim-type game, which that trailer very much did, is obviously a pretty solid approach. It’s not like the Skyrim trailer showed the worldbuilding and role-playing, did it? Or Fallout 4 or Starfield.

There were two common criticisms of Infinite: it was much more linear and scripted than the previous games and some people really didn’t like that the Vox ended up being villains.

Agreed, unfortunately Nintendo has already said otherwise...

Nintendo: Breath Of The Wild Is Now Blueprint Of Zelda Series (kotaku.com)

I enjoyed BotW and thought it was waaaaay better than Skyward Sword, but it didn’t capture me like previous Zeldas did. Watching people play TotK just looks a tedious menu simulator.…

Unpopular opinion ‘round these parts but I really hope the next Zelda moves away from the BotW formula. Or if they do another open world, they experiment with balancing away from crafting and towards large, intricate, clever dungeons, which were always the heart and soul of Zelda for me. But between Elden Ring and…
