Anybody else just use Majora's Mask to fuck around with Bokoblins, Moblins and Lizalfos for a while? It's surprisingly fun and enjoyable considering how you can feed them and give them weapons.

DLC sucked. Trial of the sword is absolute garbage. No epic music, fucking rehash shit. When you die you get to do it ALL OVER AGAIN. I mean yeah, get gudd, what ever, but they didn't include enough replay ability aspects in it to make the grind actually fun. DLC costumes suck. Master mode FUCKING SUCKS (regenerating health? Seriously? Randomly placed God bosses scattered around areas when you first start the game. As if any one is going to fight a fucking white lynel on the great plateau. No master mode bonuses whatsoever, the lack of an actual achievement system means that it doesn't matter if you do all the busy work shit over again, your friends won't ever know. Just fuck Nintendo for this DLC, they should have just released the path of the hero shit as an update to get us through to the story mode DLC later this year. Oh and if they thing bringing this shit to the table will fly on the second go around, they better think again.

I don't agree with your complaints, especially the achievements part

Which is complete bullshit really.
Master mode should have been in a free update.
>>383248279
All master mode does is dis-incentivize combat even further than the weapon system already did.
I've spent most of Master mode either completely ignoring enemies I didn't have to fight or just bombing them until they dropped their weapon. Which I then steal the weapon and leave because it's not worth breaking that weapon to kill them.

Damage sponges with regen health isn't exciting or fun to me

Yeah, no you are the fucking retard here.
Developers should make games they themselfs think are fun, and make games for people who actually got time to play them.

Retards like you who think games should cater to you and your limited time schedule should A) stop playing games or B) Find a game that works better with your schedule.

Stop acting like you "deserve" to play and have fun in every game you think is intresting.

Also being the manager at McDicks or Subway does not make you a business man, it makes you a turd with responsibilities

With decent weapons, No.
You can kill them in a few Flurry Rush

Almost every bit of difficulty from this game is just HP values on enemies.

Because it takes ages to deplete their health bars and it just becomes tedious. Instead of turning them all into damage sponges with regenerating health they should've simply added more enemies and make exploding guardians and bigger enemies do damage when they fall over.
Path of the Hero mode is a great addition though.

I dont even like BotW, i just find your mentality fucking retarded, that you want video games to cater to your time schedule, instead of adapting or finding something else to do, this mentailty is what fucks over everyone that likes MMOs for example.

Im not ashamed of my job, i work at a retirement home for people in the early stages dementia, it pays ok, and i like it.
>>
>>383249010
No. Most of the game is fighting monsters, searching for korok seeds and shrines, doing quests, finding treasures and getting weapons.
>>
>>383249084
I usually just use a stick and a boko bow, takes like half an hour, but it's fun to take down those creatures that everyone fears with a stick(headshot them when available, then jump on their back, your weapon doesn't lose durability when you hit them while mounting them)

>/v/ always complains about howhard mode in games just turn enemeis into bullet/damage sponges

No, fuck off.
Comparing this game to Monster Hunter is retarded since that whole game revolves around hunting monsters and it actually rewards you for doing so, BotW doesn't and is in that sense a completely different game.

I 100% completed MH4U and XX, this is a pussy tier challenge in comparison.

>>383249678
Well, the only somewhat legitimate complaint about botw is that there wasn't enough story to please the Persona 5 "I need 90 hours of virtual people praising me for doing nothing impressive" crowd so most likely it will be 4 30-minute episodes of interacting with the champs.

I love exploration, one of the reasons SotN is one of my favourite games, so i explored every part of the map, including the fucking volcano (although there was nothing there), sure i missed a bunch of Korok seeds and had to use a guide to get them all but i never reached the point where i hated the game.

You're given fairies and hearty food in the trials, so it's not impossible. You'll also need to shuffle around your stats with Satan to actually pick up the sword and be able to enter the trials with 3 hearts.
>>
>>383249741
You sure are a retard.
What happens when MMOs start catering to people who dont have time to play them?

Shit like dungeon finder, LFR and stuff that takes time is removed from the game.

What is the one thing that takes the the most time in a MMO? Getting to know people who are good, so you can farm whatever your after more efficiently.

So what they do is remove the entire need to find people, so soloing or "quick queue" into shit is just as fast as having good friends that can help you out.

>>383249835

They can clean themselfs, all i have to do is stand next to them and tell them what to do, step by step, 8 months, still havent touched a dick or whiped a ass.

>>383250065
If you explore every edge of the map looking for something (e.g. the one single shrine you missed or more korok seeds for the last upgrades) you will come to hate the game. If you explore it because you want to, maybe that's a different story. Even with the Korok mask finding koroks is hell.

Using a guide makes arguments invalid tbqh.

Shoot them in the eye with a regular arrow, it stuns them for about 5 seconds so you can close the distance.
And every time you destroy a leg, they get stunned again. So yeah, you can create large periods of time where it just does nothing until you kill it.

master sword isn't the most powerful weapon by a long shot. it's the most useful one, and you just get it by having enough hearts. you use it against guardians because that's one of the things it will light up for

Why this game has invisible borders? It is something that you should not see in 2017 vidya.

Hard mode makes the game less boring.

It's literally Just Cause 2 and MGSV tier tho?

I would swap every single Korok Seed and Shrine for just 6-8 Hyrule Castles.

Even the Divine beasts fucking sucked in how short and easy they were.

What the fuck is the point of it? It doesn't make finding seeds any easier. You're still better off using the interactive map.

You're retarded. There's only one Lynel on the Plateau, and it's not "randomly placed", it's deliberately placed in a wide field so you can see it miles away and EASILY run pass him or walk around him since he's nowhere near any of the shrines you need to get to.

>>383260173
Why would there only be males? And how can you call their voice "masculine" when it's an animal voice?
>>
>>383260370
>Why would there only be males?
Because they're magical monsters summoned forth by Ganondorf's evil magic, they don't need to reproduce, they're not a natural species, they just respawn every Blood Moon.
>>
>>383260138
It's not about "need" or anything else.

It's a needle in a haystack type task to try and find the last couple shrines or koroks that you missed. It's only reasonable to look up a guide in order to avoid wasting time.
>>
>>383260470
They are a natural species, I see you haven't read their encyclopedia entry. Just because Ganon empowers them doesn't mean they aren't natural.
>>
>>383251264
eh,i'd go for normal mode.

You'll have a hard tome inhard mode, since all the enemies make much more damage and are damage sponges, so you'll be encouraged to avoid them, ruining the fun IMO.

Just start the nroaml one and you can se the difficulty yourself, by deciding whihc armor you wear and the food you eat. still, fhe first portions of the game can be challenging if you're going in blinnd.

it's an amazing game, have fun.
>>
>>383260545
The game shouldn't be designed such that it becomes trying to find a needle in a haystack. Why can't there be a shrine seer who gives you hints to a location of a remaining shrine for a price, but only when you have 90% of them or something? TP had it. That's only one possible fix.

Maybe they could also just come to terms with the fact that splitting dungeons into 120 mini-puzzles wasn't a good idea.
>>

I don't like the DLC. The game's biggest strength is the exploration, not the combat so I would've much preferred a new map region.
>>
>>383260604
>I don't understand Zelda lore.
Bokoblins, Moblins and Lynels are all -literal- demons who serve Ganon.

Lizalfos are more natural and aren't demon spawn.

Trial of the Sword too easy on normal mode, too hard on master mode.

Master mode otherwise is really tedious. Nothing is harder to kill, you just have to smack everything an extra 50 times.

You can easily just grind and make the game easy pretty early.

You don't see the obvious contradiction here? Not to mention your inability to understand the actual changes brought on by Hard Mode. Like how enemy AI is closely tied to enemy rank and so by ranking up everything, they made everybody smarter and more dangerous.

Oh, even worse then. I always have a huge excess of items for that fucker. Seems like you need to up your game when it comes to environmental damage and equipment conservation.

Spiked Boko Bow shots fired into the weakspot cause it to fall over instantly y'know right? Then you can just leave a couple bombs on the floor near his arms and climb up and start beating him. When he starts moving too much, detonate a bomb to blow up one of his arms. If you do it right, you can chain "stun" states on him and make the fight almost trivial.

It seems a little random, because sometimes their arms are completely invincible (Like during their ranged attack), but when it does work you'll blow the arm out from under them and they'll fall over.

The only shrine I had to look up was the one next to the Hebra fossil because my Shrine Sensor went off on the side of the mountain at the edge of the map and I legit spent hours scourging it looking for a small hole to sneak into.

Every other shrines I found on my own just by exploring areas I knew I had never been to before.

you can parry multiple lasers, I parried 3 in that very room and kiled 3 guardians, it was pretty fucking cool to witness

it's a shame because in master mode they removed the visual circle clue and now guardians delay their shots so you can sort of make it but it's not 100% guaranteed, you can even do half parries by taking fire damage

>>383262576

The enemies stop being spongy by the time you get to the zora domain because of all the new crazy weapons that are scattered around. The regenerating health becomes the difficulty factor in the fights and its really fun.
>>
>>383248467
>giv free gayme pls
>>
>>383253542
Yeah, but if you mount a lynel, the weapon, no matter what, won't break, so just abuse that.
>>
>>383273746
>The regenerating health becomes the difficulty factor in the fights and its really fun.

That's fucking stupid. The difficulty should come from the enemy attack patterns and interesting combinations of enemies along with managing your own character's skills, not having arbitrarily inflated health pools.
>>
>>383273395
Yeah I know but I think the story mode should be worth 15 for me. So is pack 1 worth like 5?
>>
>>383274503
Regenerating health=/=more health
Regenerating health forces you to not waste any time or the fight will drag on (aka recognizing enemy patterns better and dodging well)
More health forces you to do nothing but chip away
>>
>>383250274
It feels great making passes with a halberd on your horse against these.
>>
>>383274503
It's not arbitrary. The regen kicks in after a few seconds of not being hurt. So you're encouraged to stay on your target and murder them to death.

Not to mention, it's just putting them back on your level. Link has absurd healing capability. Giving them some was a good idea.
>>
>>383274580
I spent 4 hours in trials alone, so easily

>>383275074

>>383275139
>tfw beginning trials on master is harder than all the trials on normal
>>
>>383274749
>>383275034
It serves the same purpose. The enemies themselves and their patterns don't change, so it's the same as fighting them normally except fights take longer for no reason. It's the same with weapons breaking, it doesn't make the game harder, it just makes you need to collect stuff. You could beat high level enemies but you're limited by an arbitrary number of times your weapons can hit instead of your own skill as a player.
It's the laziest possible way to make a higher difficulty setting yet they make you pay for it.
>>
>>383275507
I agree they serve the same purpose, but their effects are quite damn different. Fights also do not take longer, if anything it should be shorter since you feel more compelled to finish them off faster. They only regenerate when you don't hit them for a while

And yeah it's lazy, but I guess the trials are meant to be the meat of that DLC
>>

>$20 for a hard mode, a cave of trials and a few clothing that could be perfectly unlockable within the main game
>upcoming DLC looks like a glorified cutscene pack
>>
As someone who fucking loves the base game, the dlc is shit.
Armor is whatever, looks nice but with no new set effects at all it seems pretty lazy.
Hero's path is cool but should of been in the base game, travel medallion seems pretty useless as there is already a surplus of fast travel locations.
Master mode could have been great, but the combination of weapon durability (which never bothered me in normal mode), health regen, and damage sponge enemies make it a pain. Some new shit, like the lynel in the great plateau was cool, forcing you to be sneaky and strategic at times. The floating enemies and damage increases we're also neat. If they had just upped enemy damage and not they're class altogether it'd be pretty damn enjoyable, but instead they made it where combat just isn't worth it at all past the great plateau, and the game is way less fun because if it. Stealth at times is fun, but running from every encounter isn't.
Trial of the sword is alright, but eventide did the same concept better. Also, it should've removed durability for the master sword.

Tl;dr, everything in this dlc should have been in the base game, and even then master mode is shit and could've been much better. For a game as good as this, it's kind of shocking what a asspull they've done so far for the dlc. I'm hoping the second pack makes up for it, but I doubt it.
>>
>>383276239
>a cave
More like 50+ caves

Also what gives you the impression that it is cutscene heavy?
>>
>>383275991
This doesn't work as well due to the whole regenerating health thing...
>>
>>383269421
>skill
What skill? Trial of the sword is built so that in the levels starting at 10 and beyond you're expected to literally exploit the game's systems to break the enemy design. At least on master mode, which is the shittest version. I mean, that lizalfos room where the definitive strategy is to literally just break the AI into a loop of backstabs so they can't fight back because otherwise their health regens faster than you can hurt them because there are two of them.

In Souls community backstabbing would be seen as cheesy shit. In Zelda community it's somehow "good gameplay" because you shits have no fucking standards. Good lord. No thanks, I'll play a better game.
>>
>>383276428
Once you get good weapons master mode becomes not spongy at all. Remember to drink elixers as well, you easily get them from monster parts

Also how is eventide better than trials? I like the trials better imo, the design feels more tight and deliberate
>>
>>383245894

DAYTOOOOOONNAAAAAAA

>>383276579
Wait they don't give you enough weapons to kill the monsters?
>>
>>383276706
Damn you shouldn't play trials on master mode, it isn't balanced for master mode at all.
>>
>>383276428
Great plateau is the worst place in master mode. It becomes pretty damn enjoyable after zoras domain and you get a nice set of barbarian armour
>>
>>383276869
Yeah, I know. But I thought, you know, they would actually bother to design their game instead of just slapping shit on there without thinking. I mean, I guess that's my problem with BOTW. It will implement something but then forget that something else breaks it. They literally aren't adept enough for open world games. They shouldn't have just splooged one out. They should have made a smaller game before this one to get their feet wet.

You know south of Hateno, there's a shrine on a high cliff. Moderate Test of Strength or something?

A bit east of that is one of those skull-hideouts
I have shit gear and there's 2 or three white bokoblins in there. Detonating all the explosives barely scratch them and they regenerate quickly.

So I lured them out with Majora's Mask to the bit above the 'two-people kneeling' shrine, took out my Korok Leaf, and knocked their asses overboard.

I'll admit, I'm abusing the environment more to kill enemies.

All that for a Soldier's Spear

I just spent 20 fucking minutes in that room trying to kill ONE lizalfos. There's only ONE viable strat for that shitty god damn room. Max Attack Food+Sneak Attack Cheese. It's the only fucking way. Anything else is wildly inefficient. It's fucking insane.

If that's the case, it could've just been there for people with their HUD on, I don't need a visual reminder that enemies are kicking my ass with their regeneration bullshit

>armor has been great for early game. The teleportation pad is a lifesaver
>OP early game gear on first playthrogh
>fast travel anywhere in an open world exploration game
this is massive faggot territory

>>383298213
I think the idea behind difficulty indicators on HUDs is for the sake of bragging rights/screenshots etc., to prove to other players you were able to complete something on the highest difficulty
>>
>>383298413
The gear really isn't OP or much better than other armor for early game except for maybe the Phantom armor, and the teleportation pad I've used maybe once. It is just nice for exploration if I want to return somewhere after I drift off a bit.

I don't like Wizzrobes. They're mean and scary and the ice one by the Zora Domain always kills me ;_;

Use a fire weapon on an ice wizrobe and it will die in one hit. Vice versa for fire wizrobes.

I expect them to go full anime and combine all the beast into a giant mecha warrior to bear Ganon again

Midna's helm isn't that good. Who is going to go after a Guardian in the beginning of the game. Just parry the beam or back off. By the time you need to fight a guardian there is better armor. The enemies can still see you with Majora's Mask. But yes the phantom armor is op.

Double Silver Lizalfos where you spawn in view of the blue archer Lizalfos.
>>
is the phantom armour better than the barbarian armour or something?
>>
>>383300924
No because it can't ve upgraded. In the beginning it is though.
>>
>>383300924
it gives level 3 attk like barbarian arnour but you cant upgrade it, thing is you can get it in the beginning though.
Still you can make level 3 attk food if you know how to farm razorshrooms and crabs early anyway.

nigger, they've been around for at least 100 years because of the Calamity, of course they'd be documented.

Nah. Only set bonus is Tingle

Before that too actually.

Remember that one memory where Link killed dozens of Lynels? That was pre-Calamity.

Riola spring in Faron, rest until night,
Farosh spawns from water even if you're close to his spawn location, the other two spawn high in the air when you're not looking and far away and also take forever to get close to the ground

Rehashed blights within the 'new' dungeon and the bullshit story the main game tried to implement.

Next game better deliver, I didn't even buy the DLC.
