Zelda: Breath of the wild

[Lock Jaw]

Does it really only have one save file now?

Wowwwwww

[Emperor Smeat]

Its one main save file and several auto-save files on the side since the game is constantly saving every so often.

[Lock Jaw]

Wowwww that seems really bad and stupid

[Big Vic]

It's odd.

Really glad I did Windblight Ganon last feel like I would be 'cheating' by constantly making up drafts during the Zoras Domain trail part.

[Emperor Smeat]

Older games used to be just 3 main save files but no auto-saves on the side. Seems Nintendo borrowed Square Enix's handheld games saving model when they designed that part of the game.

[Lock Jaw]

Just seems bad...... I know growing in a family with brothers all playing the same copy of a game.... it would have been total wank pheasant if we couldn't each have our own saved game.......

[Lock Jaw]

I mean, it is no big deal to most adult single players..... but to their demographic of kids (who probably have siblings) there should def be more than one save file for them.....

[Destor]

Just seems bad...... I know growing in a family with brothers all playing the same copy of a game.... it would have been total wank pheasant if we couldn't each have our own saved game.......Each user has a save dedicated to that user. So as many people can have a save as needed.

[Lock Jaw]

Phew..... ok, good..... carry on everybody......

First DLC pack was revealed to be around 456 MB in size for the Switch version and around 3.7 GB in size for the Wii U version.

[Destor]

Dissapointed that outside of the korok mask (and possibly majoras mask [details i haven't seen on it]) that none of the dlc offer new features. Though the phantom armor is a great replacement for the barbarian armor.

[Lock Jaw]

My brother bought a Switch, watching him play this now, and played a bit myself. Seems bad. Way too complex, too much "customization". Too many dealing with items and weapons and stuff.

Seems like they just made it "too big" and "too much".

Plus you can't even roll. How you supposed to get anywhere, just by running?!

[Shadow]

Yeah I miss the combat roll. But really the sprint is a good replacement.

Even if jump is mapped to the Y button for same arcane reason.

[Destor]

You can swap it and sprint in the options. I did

[Shadow]

But then what would I bitch about? The difficulty?

[Lock Jaw]

Oh? Maybe it is customizable..... when I played, I think jump was maybe x...... the Y button was attack, which sucked too, because in what world is the B button not for swinging your sword?

[Shadow]

I'm sorry because I got confused. Jump was mapped to X, Y is attack, B was sprint. I have switch Y and B in my game.

Sorry.

[Savio]

Anyone buy the DLC? Is it worth it?

[Destor]

i dunno. its not bad. if youre craving more content from this game style then go for it. youll get your money's worth

[Curtis]

I bought breath of the wild like 6 months ago because I finally got a Switch and that was the only game I really wanted since I loved the NES and DS Zelda games and I havent been able to make much progress. The open world doesn't work that well, it is what AVGN refers to as an "Where the fuck do I go" game.

I really want to like this but each time I turn it on, I end up not knowing where to go and get bored with the huge game maps. Needed better quest system imo.

[Fignuts]

Isn't there literally a button that tells you where to go?

Also the entire point of open worlds is that you don't have to go anywhere. You can just explore. Understandable if you like the old Zelda format but it's more of a preference than an objective criticism.

[Destor]

even traditional zelda drops. you into the world. LTTP is the only one that guides you by the hand with big flashing numbers for each dungeon

[Fignuts]

Fuck's sake the original Zelda doesn't tell you a god damn thing outside of the worthless advice from the people in the caves.

[Destor]

good luck finding dungeon 8 without nintendo power

[Sepholio]

lol I still remember when some games were basically unbeatable unless you had Nintendo Power.

[Sepholio]

Wanna say Castlevania 2 was like that. Who the fuck knew to take that dumb orb and go randomly kneel down for 10 seconds in front of the westernmost wall in the game? Nintendo Power knew, that's who.

[drave]

God damn Simons Quest.

lol you are trolling, the game tells you where to go.

I still get lost, theres like 453526 markers on my map and I dont know where to go and kinda gave up on it because it feels like a chore.

[Shadow]

That sounds like a you problem honestly.

[Curtis]

That sounds like a you problem honestly.

Wow someone's awfully agressive for no reason, over video games lmao.

I didnt say it was a bad game, just the quest system is not well designed and confusing where to go to progress. Ive played Skyrim and never had any issues because quests were straightforward.

[Destor]

its not aggressive to say its a you problem. the game has a ton of flaws but this isnt one

[Curtis]

its not aggressive to say its a you problem. the game has a ton of flaws but this isnt one

Yes it is. It was a personal attack. Saying it's a "you problem" is obviously meant to imply that I'm doing something wrong. You damn well know how that wording was intended to be interpreted.

You could say, "Maybe this type of navigation system isn't for you". But instead, it was a direct attack on me in an obviously aggressive, confrontational and dismissive tone.

There's no reason to be a dick.

[Shadow]

Your very existence makes people be dicks to you!

And no, pointing out the problem you have with very basic stuff in the game is not an aggressive or dickish position to take, dick.

[Curtis]

Wow just because I didnt like something in a game that you like, and still said it's a good game, it means I'm being a dick? Good to know. Video games are serious business, sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Either way, it comes down to "this thing not being for you".


You want to take it as a personal attack because of how it is framed, that is also on you. It isn't an uncommon navigation system at all.

The point isn't the content of the message but rather the way it was delivered and its intention. The way the message was delivered was not to point out that we have a different preference for navigation or quest systems in games, but to shift the blame to me, as if there is something wrong with me for not finding the navigation system intuitive. It was a very simple personal attack meant to belittle me.

You can say the same thing, but the way it is delivered and intended can have two completely different consequences. There's a courteous way to deliver a message and a nasty confrontational one and he chose the latter to make himself feel better for being able to belittle somebody else. All because of a game preference. Pathetic, hope it makes him feel "cool".

For example, if I spoke to somebody who said, "I think Trump is a bad president because he didn't take out Assad". I could say, "Well that's something wrong with you if you think that makes him a bad president". Alternatively, what I would do, is politely disagree and explain my position on why I do not feel this to be a valid case.

But whatever, basic internet tough guy bullying nonsense. I could understand that behavior for politics, because politics is a very serious topic, but over preferences in a video game? 1-800-come on now.

[drave]

I think Destor could have cut you down in better form, were that is actual intent.

[Destor]

if youre getting lost in a game that very possibly has the best map of all time its not on the game

[OssMan]

Curtis, here are some threads about Shadow to give you some context for who you're dealing with:

Trying to revive the feud there buddy? The one you won? Because I figured out that I just didn't give a shit and fucked off for awhile?

Also Curtis is an idiot who can't navigate a simple open world. I don't weep if he puts me on ignore.
