    The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (26th September 2024)

    in Nintendo Gaming

    I've been having fun crushing enemies with the Platboom, especially in water. But it still feels like combat was done as an afterthought. More effort has gone into this smoothie bollocks, with most chests containing a couple of ingredients, or money to buy more ingredients. Then they just went "oooh she woman she weak" and decided this was sufficient.

    It's sucking the need to explore or just travel because I know instead of being able to handle myself, I'm going to be fannying about in menus. So quick warps all the way.

    What about this one?

     

    It's a rare, holo but then I got a reverse holo as well. Very confusing.

    Wasn't really a thing back in t'day, but I'm not surprised they've done it to the rare holos as well.

    As I said, its been a long time since I bought some of these and so was a bit confused by the amount of shiny cards that are now available. I got a standard card but then a few packs later I got a shiny version of it. I guess every card can be a shiny now? Not a fan of that. Preferred it when there were just a select few that had that privilege.

     

    Apart from your standard holo/full art/secret rares etc, each card has a reverse holo version. Every common/uncommon and trainer card.

    Took some older cards to a card shop and got some monies for them. It's been awhile since I played competitively, might try being a judge again, especially after the WankGate scandal.

    My wife has been joking about how bad my Japanese has gotten recently so I decided I needed to do something about it. I’ve started Duolingo for the first time in years and have to say it’s come on loads since I last used it. I don’t know if I could use it to learn in the first place but it’s definitely a good way of keeping things fresh. I skipped level 1 and then it quickly put me up to level 3 but it clearly needs to bump me up a load of levels as everything at the moment is way too basic. It’s enjoyable though and I can see myself keeping at it.

    Anyone else still keeping up with it for something?

    I'm still using it for German, on about a 1170ish streak. I've gotten used to the layout they're now using, but I still think the module format they used to have was better, which gave you much control and you could go back to target areas/basics to refresh yourself as opposed to having "personalised training".

    Memrise has updated and had gotten a bit weird now, I'm thinking of cancelling my payment, but I haven't fiddled around enough to fully get to grips with it. You used to put on a word target and do stuff until it told you that you hit it. Now it has it in 3 flavours - learning with small clips and exercises, which now gives you about 3 phrases you repeat 10 different ways, "videos", which are small interaction clips, lasting about 20 seconds but say one or two words. Most useful is an AI chat you can discuss things with, but I've been more using the vocal/listening aspects as opposed to the writing segment.

    I imagine if this had been on the Switch the numbers would gave been insane. It's a better audience for such a game.

    We've got Captain Toad, which Astro Bot is a nice mix of that and Mario Galaxy.

     

    I hate it when I complete a game and I feel it's too short, because I want more you fuckers. Because it was that enjoyable. I was a little annoyed about who the final bot was, even though I recognised him, just would've preferred it to be someone I gave a shit about. But that music slams, I dunno how many times it took me to do it, but I did and enjoyed the musical feels along the way.

    I hope we get a sequel, lets not have Asobi waste their time with that speedrun bollocks :p

    Just a couple of side notes... I've defeated the bird so the 1-2 or do levels after that to do, so maybe I haven't come across this yet, but did those bonus robots from the bullshit riddles have any impact? 

    Also, just a small niggle, but prior to release in the Playroom in secret labo there was that portal which when you tried going in it gave you a prompt to the PS store. Did anyone else think it would take you to the game if you owned it and tried going through? It was the first thing I tried after installing as I thought it was going to be a nice touch, but it just tried selling it me again. I was devastated.

    My physical copy just arrived. I'll just keep this sealed, the disk isn't rattling around so thats a good sign.

    Shopto put this stupid sticker with your address and stuff on the wrap though so i can't really see the back of the box.

     

    You not wanting to see the nice lil comic poster that comes in the case?

    I've come to my first niggle and it's those monkey hands, they sometimes just don't want to reach for that next rung on the ladder. Sometimes it does, sometimes I wiggle about and somehow it magically decides it can reach, other times I've had to try dropping and hovering for that extra lift, which I don't think is what the solution was meant to be.

    Missed one warp in the gorilla galaxy, but will nip back for that later. It was a surprise when I found the first one it kicks you out the level and you have to redo, which is how I came across the 200 cost bird, which was a nice touch as I had missed something earlier on, but then when I got to the part of the level I hadn't reached, it kinda spoiled it for me. Here's hoping you can toggle it off if needed.

     

    I've had to rage quit against Captain Pincher. It just isn't working for me. I've watched 2 YouTube videos where they climb effortlessly up his ribs and I can't make it up 2 bits before it stops reaching out.

    Edit 2- replaying the level for the initial puzzle piece and getting the monkey again, I see what I was missing...

    But I'm also practically on the doorstep of my local depot so uh yeah seems like a real small chance :blank:

    Me too, but even then they won't let you try to pick up until next day.

    Luckily though mine has been delivered to my pick up, and I've picked it up naow.

    Time to install motherfuckers.

    My retort in your own words:

    That's not the correct action you fool. You've got to do a circular motion like Doctor Strange.

    Amazon have it out for delivery, I do hope it will arrive in time for finishing work. I've got it sent to the local One Stop because the post people have been increasingly lazy in how they hide their packages when we're not in. I blame the missus for ordering so much tat from Temu.
