@Zythria @ostzx I think the difference is the lack of lock on system. I’m not familiar with the game. I think I heard of it, maybe rented it, but it didn’t make a big impression on kid me.

It’s a good reference though. Would be curious to see what other games took from it.

@NopeSignal And the couch fucking. Can’t forget that.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@DragoonC89 It takes a while to get used to. But yeah, it’s great.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@gigiconlaG @WorstGenHQ I think the treasure was Imu himself and Doffy’s plan was to use the Op-Op fruit to switch into his body.

It’s the simple theory and has been around forever but as we see more of Imu and the WG, it makes more and more sense. The covenants alone are broken.

@Idlingaround @empyrealviolet Getting that perfect parry and following up to punish felt rewarding every time. Having to use a spear or two handed weapon when I was used to a single hand was fun. Using random items to distract or freeze was great. It hit for me. Best combat in a Zelda IMO.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@Idlingaround @empyrealviolet I feel like we played BOTW very differently. Between armor/food buffing attack and defense, modifiers on weapons buffing them even more, and the flexibility of combat made this a non issue while also being engaging. Taking down Lynels without using any weapon durability was great

@WorstGenHQ At first I thought it would be a Naruto sweep. I’ve backed off that, but I do think Naruto takes it. Rasenshuriken is too powerful of a move and Naruto has too many other options on top of it. It’s close, but still Naruto IMO.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@otakuspects I think Loki is the best option but not realistic.

Ignoring him, I think Vivi. She’s already a Strawhat even though she isn’t on the crew.

After that, Yamato. And I do hope and expect it will happen. Probably after Wano gets attacked by BB.

@Emery_B_223 @WillemsRobbie @lastchalice I did take out two of the little bastards with the Master Sword, but the third one escaped. I was kind of proud and the rupees basically made it where I have no concerns about money. My Giant’s Wallet is almost full.

@BaratiePLC Paramecia awakenings allow the user to affect their environment mostly. We don’t see this here IMO.

But, regardless she does have a lot of mastery over her fruit. If only she had armament…

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@jared_shult And fuck like half her staff?

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@empyrealviolet I disagree. It’s more like if you don’t engage with the game systems, you struggle. Get over the weapons, you find more. Enjoy it. Don’t hoard them. It’s a fun difficulty mechanic in the beginning and a non-issue in the mid and late game. I’d try it if you haven’t.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@kaamusari I don’t hate it, but I do find it hard to get into.

It’s the motion controls. They aren’t accurate and convenient enough. And even on the switch with a controller, they aren’t accurate or convenient enough. There’s a reason why LoZ motion controls have been reduced to gyro aim.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@CM147143 @CDHenry_PA Then you fine them. The motivated will thrive. The majority will do the bare minimum but learn something. The lazy scumbags can be dealt with.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@MdayMday_ BOTW and TOTK had great combat IMO. I would farm enemies. Perfect parries were extremely satisfying. Beating enemies with minimal weapon damage was a fun challenge.

I miss the traversal and combat from those games in OOTR.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@lastchalice I fight everything that spawns when I’m running around Hyrule Field at night. Between that and having a bunch of Skulltulas, my giant wallet is almost maxed and I don’t have much to buy. A little bit of grinding goes a long way in this game.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@WillemsRobbie @Emery_B_223 @lastchalice Best weapon for them is the Biggoron sword. Longer reach and more damage.

[Darrell Johnson @InvaderDJ]

@CM147143 @CDHenry_PA I’m sure some will. I don’t think the majority or even a large minority would. Pay them $20/hr, have it count towards certifications, fine the ones who don’t show up without an approved excuse.
