Tbh I was not a fan of BOTW I just think it’s not for me. I’m sure it’s a great game but just not my great game.

Fair enough. Both games are very similar, so this one isn't going to win you over if you bounced off the original.

yay just got my first heart and went down below

any one else notice the game seems to be very bright or is it just my tv settings?, been tweaking my tv settings a bit.

I tweaked my TV settings yesterday and I thought the same, the game was bright and colorful (It was during the day in game mind

).

I noticed this to. If you set TV out put range to limited the blacks look black and not grey.

Great we have shrines in the beginning (hated it in BotW) and a lot of fusing which seems to prolong the gameplay. Having said that, there will be some fun things to do

Seems the main culprit for the FPS tanking are the memory clocks.

I really loved BOTW but I don't think this is for me.

The same way I loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but didn't like Fallout 4...

'Building' things.

I hate building things in games. That's not exciting to me at all.

I only just started playing. Is that a huge part of the game or something?

I’m impressed with a fan attached to a few logs and people are out there doing this?

I'm sure i've read comments (or watched a video) that said whilst it's obviously part of the game, Nintendo were conscious to design it so that it could be played without a particularly heavy reliance on the building mechanic - i.e. you can still approach a lot of the game as you perhaps would have done in BOTW and make do with fairly simplistic stuff, rather than needing to spend 3 hours crafting the perfect hover glider to be able to progress to the next minor game area.

Nice. Going to try and stay out of this thread until I complete the game me thinks. I had no idea the game had such mechanics. Will get too tempted to watch videos posted above. Rather just discover and do my own thing

Yeah the building to solve puzzles is really simple stuff, attaching a few bits together, nothing complex, at least I haven't encountered anything complex so far.

Seems fusing stuff is necessary for decent weapons but the rest seems pretty optional from my limited time and the reviews/feedback I've listened to.

I'm still using a trusty horse or traversing on foot for the most part.

Plainsong · 15 May 2023 at 19:04

Same I’m just playing it like BOTW and exploring on my horse.

Buddy · 15 May 2023 at 19:45

So what's the performance really like?

Is it choppy? Is it like BOTW? Was BOTW smooth?

I've never played either.

Choppy at times but not enough to be a pain. The game is pretty slow paced.

I ended up watching the Digital foundry review. Decided if I'm only going to play one, I'll go for tears.

Plainsong · 15 May 2023 at 22:39

It’s not that bad. A few dips at times but certainly nothing to worry about.

kakarott · 15 May 2023 at 23:11

So had to use a guide to get to the 3rd shrine lol

I was lost as well but then I went back to the cave that exits to that area and decided to see if I could climb up the large tree roots and yes it works. That saved me a headache just climbing straight up to the shrine, link has enough stamina to do it
