@Jegere_ Searing hot take incoming:
Climbing out of low elo is an absolute nightmare for the exact same reason that fighting against bots for a prolonged period is a bad idea
@Ignis_Kat It's definitely dumbed down. Like it's not even a bad thing, but if you have eyes to see you can tell where the devs went "we should do this differently so players don't get lost or confused"
It's not even a bad thing, but itnisnquite overt.
Similar takes.
The economy is the biggest positive for me, items are a much more scarce resource in general.
Most of the difficulty changes are at least understandable, although they do get patronizing at times.
The transition to real time NPC movements is impressive and makes me hope the MM leaks were real.
The biggest annoyances are the general adultness getting sanded down (well, hyrule town guard, great fairies, spider house, etc) as well as a lot of the cutscenes losing a little sauce. There are good additions to be sure, but the small things we lost do stand out.
I haven't quite finished yet, but all in all, it's honestly slightly better than I was expecting, although as I've repeatedly said before I had extremely measured expectations.
Oh and I'm running JP voices so thay I don't die of cringe so I can't really comment on the quality of the voice acting.
@Vidya_James For me the biggest positive changes are to the economy.
It used to be that I went through the entire game basically full of everything. In the remake, rupees and regen are much more rare, and consumable refills are markedly less valuable.
