I am quite excited for the re-release of Skyward Sword. Breath of the Wild is the worst Zelda game in my personal opinion and people raving about how they likes it makes me fear we will never get a new 3D Zelda, or just a 3D Nintendo game, with the old dungeon-crawling, tools-filled inventory style of before BOTW. I found it to be much more fun, wittier and more charming than the Breath of the Wild concept and the way I see it, I feel it's Nintendo throwing a bone at those who preferred the old formula.
Personal opinion and all, I am more excited to replay Skyward Sword than have BOTW2, or older 3D Zeldas if they would also bring back WindWaker HD and Twilight Princess HD too.
Abby, use the movement of the watchhand that the monkey is holding on to as a reference for the rhythm instead of the monkeys winding up their high-five.
And so many people thought Bethesda would not mention Fallout 76 in this presser.
The game has a poor image, and GB certainly didn't help, but it's still hours of fun for people in which the Fallout 4/76 gameplay loop clicks. The userbase might be smaller, but it's no anthem and it's as friendly as Todd says. I think my base was attacked only twice in 60 hours of play.
Glad to see they're still working on content, although I might skip Nuclear Winter, battle royales have never been fun to me.
I'm sad Bethesda keeps throwing ammo at people to keep yelling at Fallout 76, for that I think is actually a decent video game that is being handled so poorly that the game itself is victim of Bethesda's incompetence.
If they had come out clearer to explain everything Fallout 76 is and does instead of rushing it out to the release doors and letting players figure everything on their own, the game wouldn't be so off-putting or be compared other survival games instead of being judged for what it is. It's a very bad first impression for many to say it mildly, and the people who are curious enough to stay in game to find what's new and fun gets yelled at for liking the game. -sigh-
Beshesda deserves all the heat for their handling of decisions of the game, but the popular image of the game is worst than the quality of the game itself which isn't fantastic in this current state but I feel has legs to stand and could be improved and enjoyed without trashing the premise.
Still makes me a bit sad hearing giantbomb staff talking down the motion controls in Twilight Princess again and again. Having played all 3 of the gamecube, wii and wii-u versions over the years, I found the wii's controls to be the best between 3, and I would recommend it anytime above the other two. The wii-u gamepad inventory management was so much slower than the wii remote and Link could perform less actions he could do on the wii.
It's my favorite zelda and I felt it was much improved by the cursor controls vs analog sticks and gyros. And my setup was such that I was lounging horizontally and was still getting 100% correct, responsive controls. I really wish they allowed people to use the wii remote on the HD remake. Oh well~
I think Dan would have enjoyed this game's combat if he did what I did and that is use all the good cards ALL THE TIME. Much like I learned to do in Sticker Star, I would spend every powerful cards on every enemy as long as it's effective. This random goomba? Painted Shoes and Hammer. This group of Shy Guys? Fire and Ice Flowers. At the point of the game I am at, I willingfully attacked and defeated every single enemy that was on my way. No saving cards, no running, just killing everything like a Mage casting master level spells at everything that moves. And I had a blast. Sticker Stars rewarded you by giving you tons of coins for using stickers so you can buy more, but this game doesn't need it, you can afford to maximize your deck with how much coins you can find, even when refilling your inventory with Things using them every new zone. Anyway, that was my experience and that's too bad Dan didn't enjoy the game combat on his own terms.
It's a bit hard to understand how Jeff feels about Twilight Princess, I feel it keeps going all over the place from it's a bad game that Nintendo should never do anything with again, to it's a meddling game that's kinda boring, to it's an alright game with high productions values and good parts.
But then again, I don't have the same opinion on the hits on the game. I felt it was the most charming zelda game yet, topping ocarina as my favorite game as I played through it the first time. I feel Brad's disinterest is powered by Jeff's opinions and I wish he would take this opportunity to finish the game and have his own opinions on the game.
