You actually do slip on it. The way slipping works in this game is if you climb just long enough, or if you jump onto the wall. If you jump onto a cryonis pillar's side, you'll slip. The only one with the slant in their brain is you, anon.

Just imagine a game like souls or a party heavy rpg.

You can use plants and mushrooms to attract fish, as long as the bait has an effect that matches the fish's own effect (Stamina shrooms attract Stamina fish, etc.)

>>378339461
nah, DA:O was more.
>oh you want to leave the area you are in
>oh look some monsters

they had the camping stuff yes, but that wasn´t like what I meant. Let us take BotW as a World and it´s size. Then say we take Dark Souls like actionrpg mechanic + all the "beeing alone" feeling.

So you are now in a world, on your own. Story is more about lore and you get slowly further. You are in a forest and you didn´t slept for 12 hours. You need to find a place to lit a bonfire and chill there. You can only take a limited amount of some items, which you can only organize during bonfires (kinda like witcher). etc.

>rain is suppose to be comfy
>botw makes it the most annoying thing ever

That's just one of the hundreds of reasons this game sucked. You would think they'd at least give you items or equipment to make climbing in the rain easier, or hell making it a higher set bonus for the climbing gear. This would have been exactly a good moment to have the hookshot too. Hack ass developer.

>who needs dungeons
>who needs music
>who needs a story
>who needs unbreakable weapons
>who needs a world with actual stuff in it

At that point, who even needs a zelda game?

Why isn't there a set of gear that negates the climbing penalty while raining?

>>378346753
rain is why a hookshot or grappling hook of sorts would have been golden, even one with limited durability

you cant move anyone in it or decorate it to your liking. only put up weapons for decoration and thats it. It's ironic, too. The devs know that most of your weapons break, so they give you a literal gallery to give the weapons you dont want to break another purpose: just to sit there and look good.

I never played FFXV, is it truly as bad as I hear it is?

I grew up playing VII, VIII, IX, X... Stopped when they went online with XI and never looked back. Then I fell for the XIII meme, thinking it might be like the FF of old.

I played it before the updates so I don't know how it is now. I never liked the classic FFs and I liked this one. So if you really like the old ones I don't really think this one is the one for you.

You can mine flint just by stumbling across any random ore stuck in the wall, it's about as plentiful as glowing rocks and amber.

>>378355265
Yeah but just because you don't have a korok leaf, it doesn't mean you have to go and find one. You can just fashion another way to power the raft. It's one of the most rewarding things about BotW - you can always find your own method of doing things.

Never understood the wining about the rain. Nintendo made a game where the weather, the climate and the environment are all intricately connected. The gameplay informs the player and affects their choices and - in turn - influences how the player interacts with the world. Nintendo made a living, breathing world of consequence. Shit's next level gaming but kiddies gonna complain anyway.

You can easily make money by cracking open some ore and selling some gems in shops. If you find some glowing rocks though, you can trade in 10 of them for a diamond once you've completed a sidequest in zora village.

Think about the name the game - Breath Of The WILD.

Ocarina Of Time's central gameplay mechanic was controlling TIME.

Yeah thats so wild

>>378356868
People who complain about the rain are casuals who cannot into adaptation because they're used to modern games holding you by the hand and beating you over the head with tutorials.

The funny thing is, if the game made a prompt that read "hey, listen, you can't climb as fast when it's raining so find somewhere to rest," there'd be half a dozen threads going on about how Nintendo is only for children who can't think for themselves and how they don't trust their audience to figure out basic shit for themselves.

Better off just ignoring them.

Well there's a ton of regions where it never rains at all and Revali's Gale plus some stamina upgrades do a lot to make the downsides of rain go away but in the early game I can see it being a pain.

Sell most of your materials. You damn sure aren't going to be using them for anything important.

>>378362606
Yeah, they're the most common.

>>378362784
Depends on the severity of the rain. A light downpour won't do much, but heavy rain, lashing down in sheets seems to affect the visability of most enemies.

>>378360232
Theres cooking pots at every stable. And every stable has a shrine next to it, so you always have a way to warp one.

I find the stables ultra cosy places to visit.

I haven't given in on finding everything on my own but goddammit, why a Kass quest? He can be anywhere save for extreme climates, but that's still a lot of ground to retread. If both shrines end up being Kass quests that'd be a real kick in the balls.

>>378360232
Nah, but if you're in a pinch, most foodstuffs will become at least a little more potent if roasted on an open flame, like the campfires you can make.

>>378363874
you just have bad luck, the blood moon one is where he keeps his diary that tells you where all the kass ones are.

>>378363963
Kass keeps a diary? Back to Rito Village then.

>>378363874
I found that one by random happenstance quite early on. He's on top top of one of those mushroom trees out in the mid west. You can glide there from a nearby hilltop that also has a shrine/warp spot, so that you can come back when there's a bloodmoon.

In fairness, some sidequests encourage you to explore the castle prior to your final assault. Finding the shrine gives you a handy warp point if you want it.

They actually wanted to put more stuff in it, like an ancient Sheikah Machine that let you play old Zelda games, furniture, and different colors of bonfires that give you bonuses for resting and cooking, but Miyamoto came in and said something about "Breath of the Wild is about the outdoors. Letting players stay in House would be no good."

>>378364949
So as it also miyamoto that said crafting couldnt be in this game because I have a feeling it's just the entire zelda team being stupid at this point

What about the Kass quest where you have to shoot an arrow from a tower at a specific time? How did you do?
I still haven't fcking got it

I just wish it didn't always get super cloudy when it rains

>>378362251

I'm going to have to go with Miyamoto on this one, simply because the focus of the game is on being outdoors in the wild and adding incentives to stay inside your house would kinda take away from that experience.

It's already good enough that you have a place to rest, store weapons, and cook; it doesn't need any bells and whistles to make you stay in one area for too long.

it proves how behind the times he is because you can still give people interior comforts in an exterior game.

I don't know, but there's an interview where Aonuma said his son thought cooking was weird, so it's a wonder they didn't just drop the idea right there since we all know Aonuma's son is the true head of Zelda development.

Anyone else have this problem with BoTW? I feel like once you've played for enough time, you've seen anything and nothing surprises you anymore. You will only find weapons that are the same but stronger, enemies that are a different color, or another shrine or korok seed. Literally everything about the game is god-tier aside from this, but it's the one thing that matters the most, especially for me. The reason why I love Ocarina and WW is because those games are constantly throwing new shit at you.

I wish BotW had more shit like

>incompetent developers

If you don't like the way the feature works, that's fine. But it is a design choice, not incompetence.

Also, if the recharge timer started before charges were used up, the powers would be practically infinite because you don't use them very often. Unless you're crazy casual,
in which case you have no place to be questioning developer competence.

>>378365680
You can't really have a focus on exploration and survival while living in a comfortable environment.

Leading up to the game and playing through the great plateau I felt amazing.

Ten or so hours later after I got off the great plateau I felt like you. Now I can't even bring myself to finish it.

>>378366620
Not like 900. There are 900.
441 are needed for a full inventory. The others are extras.

I think the game is well worth the 60 bucks (compared to others). Eventually you will get tired of it, of course, but it can have a long life

>>378367253
This. Horses were pointless. They should have followed you automatically to the best of their ability (while staying out of the way during combat) and would only be left behind if you climbed mountains.

>>378367418
Eventide island is great, so are the labyrinths. But it's just that the vast vast majority of shrines aren't unique to get to.
Bowling is near a stable to the northwest, you find a guy who says "Hail, kiddums!"

>>378366776
This and the broken combat were the game's biggest flaws. By the end of the Great Plateau you've already seen most of what the game will offer.

Only one I had to use a walkthrough. I wish I hadn't, though, because my thought process was on the right track, but I just wasn't getting it, I had to be somewhere soon, and I wasn't having fun with it. But it was definitely one of those "Ohhhhhh, So I really am retarded" moments.

Eventide is great because it essentially forcefully resets a lot of your progress, gives you a real reason to enter combat, as well as the greatest feeling of survival in the entire game.

The combat lacks an incentive actually engage enemies. There's no real risk or reward, it just perpetuates a cycle of breaking and acquiring weapons. Managing your inventory every time that happens isn't enjoyable either.

Solution: Stand on shrine plate. Wait for tower shadow to point at it (3 or 5 PM if I remember correctly). Shoot at the sun.

>>378368076
It's a great way to push the story aside.

Plus, Link has a reason not to remember anything, so he knows the same as the player going in.
Given that Link has always been designed so as the player identifies with him (link doesn't show much personality, he is a shell for the player) I'd say it's pretty fucking clever. Simple and effective

>>378368262
This is a drawback of all openworld games. While it's true, it's just symptomatic of the genre as a whole.

Not true. DD has phenomenal combat with appropriate risk vs reward. The open world aspect is executed poorly but the combat itself is a blast. It's basically the opposite of BOTW.

>>378368946
You need to solve all the problems in the village troubles diary at Impa's house in Kakariko village. Once you do them all, the whodunnit will start.

All of those things are paltry in comparison to the overall experience you get on the plateau. The only significant things that lie beyond the plateau that you haven't seen or experienced already are divine beasts (glorified shrines) and towns.

>>378370381
I think I must be in the minority, because I like everything about the Ganon sequence. Nothing about it was particularly hard as long as you were at least a bit prepared, but I felt satisfied, and even go back and replay it sometimes.

>>378370494
I tried to do this, but I was doing the main quest exclusively out of the gate, so I wasn't as familiar with the world. So I usually just used Pikango (which I still liked how he didn't just pinpoint them). I only stumbled on one, and that wooded area one was complete bullshit.

The final one was rewarding because I really had to put on my detective hat. Turns out it was a place I hadn't been, so I had to use pure map analysis.

It doesn't matter, the distance for jumping up Cryosis is too small for that to be an issue since you clear it in one hop and your stamina refills rather quickly so there's not much chance in pissing out when you're making an ice bridge

Right underneath Hebra tower. How the hell did you miss it? The smoke from the cabins chimney should have given it away instantly.

*starts fire and mash A before it's extinguished*
*uses Ravioli's Galioli*
*Equip climber gear, climb four steps, jump, repeat*
*use a less inclined path while waiting the rain out*

Never found him, which is why I called it bullshit. Again, just had to study the map, but there aren't any real landmarks in the photo, and there's a fuckton of forests in the game. So it was just "where's a forest with woodland type trees that I don't have any Korok seeds nearby?" Which still wasn't a great strategy because even if I found a Korok, I may not have seen the memory glow. The radius for their visibility should have been a lot higher in general, really.

Also, new topic: Which language do you prefer? I think Russian is it for me. German is close, but I'm familiar with it, so it breaks the whole "sounds like a fake language" thing.

I thought this at first too, but I think it's something that grows on you. Also youtube the full OST, and you'll see that there really is a long going on in the game musically.

>>378371796
And yet you can climb a Frost Talus if you have the full winter gear

Doesn't make it any less of a pain in the ass and a huge boring time sink.

Late game one of the true joys is torturing guardians. Chop their legs off then slowly bomb them to death while they lay there helpless and unable to turn, firing their laser in rage into space.

Very Ganon-second-form-like, come to think of it.

>>378373119
wow it takes 40 seconds to climb instead of 30 seconds those 10 seconds really are such a time sink!

Climbing didn't need to become any more boring and tedious. It's not enjoyable and the rain just makes it worse.
