BotW and its sequel are so unlike any other Zelda game, I doubt having played or grown up with other Zelda games would be helpful.

Dreaming of, or warning about?

The whole reason behind it was to socialise with others in person and trade.

Now, though, the whole “multiple versions” is kinda pointless and just gates things, as you said.

Yea, that’s one of the ones that is excluded. Usually just the smaller contained rooms.

I’ve replayed this game maybe 4 times, I love it! Hope you enjoy your time with it all the way through.

FWIW, you do have safe spots.

Avatar Legends is the new name for the franchise overall. I suppose it’s to differentiate from Cameron’s Avatar.

I suppose my experience may be different than others, I’m at the tail end of Act 3 and I have yet to grind for rosaries or shards. I remember people saying I’d need to do that, and I never have.

Why do we continue to give Nintendo excuses for their shitty anti-consumer practices?

If these are just because of US tariffs, why increase the price of Switch 1 consoles that are already in Canada and don’t need to be shipped through the US? Why increase digital games that aren’t being shipped at all? Not to mention, they opened the floodgates for the price increase in games.

It’s a pretty low price already, and I personally think the devs deserve it. Hope you enjoy!

I get the inherent value people attach to it, but after having it several times (I’d have it for a month or two and then drop it for like, a year), I would never go back to it even if it still seemed like a good deal.

For an app developed by Microsoft and working on a PC, it has some awful pathing, and I lost saves and had issues launching games on multiple occasions. Tried many fixes and it never worked out. Some games would work for me, others wouldn’t. So for me, since it felt like a toss up to get a game to work, it was pointless.

Not that you’ll see this, but I mean that you’re being incredibly rude, argumentative and a bully towards them. You can disagree with someone without being a dick about it. This Lemmy instance is becoming more like the reddit game subreddit by the day, I swear.

You’ve been on lemmy for a day and have replied to this post bashing the OP like 5 times. Relax.

Wow our dollar is shit. Not certain where the $120+ is coming from, then. But it is clickbait, so I suppose that’s the point.

I assume they’re talking about the DLC as well. All together, the game + DLC over here is $140. I assume it’s closer to $120 for America, but haven’t done the conversions.

Was excited about it until I saw the price. Now I’m just a bit sad.

Demo was fun, though.

I’ve spoken to others about this subject due to this and none of them have reflected the comments here. I don’t even know most of the people I posed the question to. I suppose this forum (and the forums or social media these posters frequent) hold their opinion as more of a fact than I was led to believe.

Regardless, everyone can feel how they want about this. I’ll just play Silksong and have fun on my end of the table.

I think I approached the discussion wrong and perhaps wasn’t voicing what I was thinking properly. Regardless, I’m clearly not in the majority of opinion, so I’d like to just bow out of this discussion and wish everyone has the fun that they want to have.

I haven’t gone out of my way. While I haven’t used the word “fun”, I did say I enjoyed most runbacks in Dark Souls as a sort of puzzle. Being downvoted for a subjective opinion is absurd, especially when the person I’m responding to also has a subjective opinion. But nice to know my opinion has less value.

Anyway, I don’t really want to go in circles with this since I feel like both sides here have said what they want to say.

I’ll just leave with an example of a mechanic I find unfun and wish would go away, as a sort of olive branch of understanding that opinions are opinions. In Breath of the Wild and similar games, I hate the weapon/item degradation mechanic. I understand their design goals with it, and I understand how removing it from those games would change quite a bit of how they want the game to run, but I’d be much happier if it were to disappear completely.

You’re getting voted up for your opinion, and I’m getting down for mine. Strange. Things you say are unfun for you are fine for me, like I said in my post, I do believe it’s personal opinion.

I’m not denying that there has to be design intent in here, but I take great issue with people stating “runbacks are unfun” as a matter of fact. Again, if it’s taken into consideration with time and how the boss mechanic works, that’s simply how the game is designed. I respect everyone’s opinion and their thoughts being the opposite, but I don’t think it’s a universal truth that must be upheld with every game.

Again, maybe I’ll feel differently regarding Silksong specifically as I get further. So far I don’t take umbrage with it’s runback design.
