LAST GAME TO BE DESCUSHED WINS!

Climb8ng everywhere is bad. That's too much. Maueb if BotW was more selective about where you can climb it wouldn't need stamina.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 1:29 am

But then how would I know where I can or can’t climb

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 1:59 am

Use your focus ... um ... i mean, the sacred slab or whatever.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:38 pm

I'd have one less thing to worry about if I could just climb anywhere

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 4:00 pm

Can you really just climb anywhere in botw? I don't recall.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:54 pm

Pretty much. But the barriers are driven by stamina. Which is why it makes sense.

Started playing Elden Ring. I feel very positive about it so far.

My only complaint is the LOD (Level of Difficulty).

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Mar 01, 2022 2:43 pm

Oh. Finally, LOD gets explained. For some reason I though you were saying level of detail before.

I thought you were saying Level of Detail this whole time and I was very confused. "Man he is really particular about that one specific graphics setting."

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Mar 02, 2022 8:35 pm

Wait, what do you mean for LOD? Life or Death? Level of Development? Length of Day?

Anybody else playing Triangle Strategy? Battles are good but there seems to be way too much story between them in the demo. Camera control is sometimes an issue for me as well. Got it arriving today anyway.

As a huge FFT fan I was interested but the graphics are an eyesore with the massive bloom and depth of field effects. If it were on PC and I could turn that off I'd probably check it out.

But the bloom hide the LOD issues

Yeah on some environments its pretty difficult to distinguish your own units. I'm kinda' used to how it looks now though.

Just beat the first story boss in Elden Ring after 20 hours of exploring the surrounding countryside first and then his keep. This game is incredible.

I did the same thing at lunch time. I could go in the castle or back to exploring, and I think I'm going to explore for a bit.

Glad they went the BOTW route for their open world design, and not HZD.

Still too early to say if they are out doing BOTW in regards to open world design, but so far, I think it might. I'm damn impressed.

Too bad there's a stamina meter that ruins the game

Be sure to check out that elevator in the woods.

I didn't really have interest in Elden Ring to begin with but stamina meter clinches it.

I can’t tell if I like or hate Chocobo GP but I’ve played a fair bit of it while I’ve been sick.

It looked like a pretty solid FFVI remake from what you showed me

I play BOTW on a WiiU emulator that allows me to disable stamina. It's nice. So is not running out of arrows when you're trying to do a shrine puzzle.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Mar 12, 2022 10:52 pm

I doubt I'd have found stamina annoying if I had twice as much of it.

Oops how did I read "disable" as "double." I'm getting dyslexic or something.

That came in handy when I got the Master Sword. From that point I disabled durability because I thought that thing running out of sword juice was really stupid.

It’s kinda funny that another horizon game got completely overshadowed by a far better one world game.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Mar 13, 2022 1:16 pm

Yeah, I seriously doubt that. Although I don't think HFW is necesssrily as good as HZD.

I mean it’s pretty clear cut

Finished both playthroughs of story mode now and unlocked every character except Cloud (which is so ridiculously grindy to do, you practically have to pay IRL money for him). Now waiting to see what they do with the game after all the negative feedback the "battlepass"/freemium mechanics have gathered.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 1:20 am

As long as there's enough whales to suck money out of, they won't change anything or make it worse.

Only reason EA did it with Battlefront II was the negative response hit so aggressively before release.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 7:41 am

I saw a letter from the producer yesterday apologising for various things and promising to make it better, as well as clarifying what kind of new content to expect in future. I think they perhaps take shit like this more personally in Japan than a company like EA would.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Mar 15, 2022 9:42 pm

I never saw HZD’s dev apologize for the run of the mill, milquetoast game they made.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 1:01 pm

Pretty early on in this review they say ER and BOTW are far better than horizon

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 1:53 pm

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:53 pm

It's so fucking stupid. If you don't give a fuck about narrative games, just ignore them. Don't be comparing apples and oranges. Two things HZD absolutely doss better than BotW are story (BotW has none) and combat (give me a break does this even need explaining?). So let's only talk about things BotW does better and act like it's a given. How fucking stupid. Why do ER and BotW fans seem to have an endless need to dump on Horizon? Maybe you're just afraid to think about the game you spent hundreds of hours on isn't actually the ultimate be all and end all of entertainment.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 3:23 pm

Look Golbez. I know that the story is likely more fleshed out HZD/FW.

But I think all the evidence points to this unavoidable reality:

cloud33 · Post by **cloud33** » Fri Mar 18, 2022 1:31 pm

To be fair, I really like Horizon Zero Dawn better then BOTW like Lord Golbez. Because the hero is a hot redhead.

The protagonist of the game is Aloy, a huntress of her world. Aloy has to face off against a machine god that is terrorizing her world. I was skeptic at first and I said that no one was going to buy this game because of the protagonist's red hair. I bought the game because I love the game and because of the character and how sexy she is.

Link is just another effeminate man, whatever happened to real men in games? Just because he was made to look pretty doesn't mean he should. Some games go as far as a girl voice, so where is the difference? One would say that he is not manly, but why is that true? He's just one of those woke gender who "talks like a girl." As if being a man can be reduced to style or something. I can see some men taking his just being a weak "woman" and go "hell no, go away."

Links needs to be a better masculine role model for boys, real men don't wear glasses and come in pink capes.
