Happenstance

You dont need to play any of the previous games. There tend to be nods to games that came before it, maybe a character cameo but nothing that matters. The Persona games are very stylish JRPGs that are basically half dungeon crawler, half slice of life games. Its a really good mix that tends to have great characters which you will get to know through social link quests and then dungeons which you'll battle through to progress the story. Here's IGN's review of the previous game:

Has the digital price been announced yet?

Yep I figured that would happen as well @Cube. The cross dressing never bothered me.

Lol yep I remember that.

I may have to get a cover for my Mavic controller. Took the drone out today and just couldn't see a thing on the controller. I've got to use it for work in June so I'm worried I'll mess things up without one!

Never heard of that myself but I know some companies do ship in fans for certain sections to get the cheers going etc. Thats not really a practice I mind but it is nice when the companies themselves actually mention it at the start of the conference.

I think I might trade my Wii U in this weekend. Its already been packed away and I just cant see myself ever getting it out again.

Well that's Zelda completed! Pros: - The game looks gorgeous - While I had problems with the mechanics and story, the gameplay kept me playing for over 30 hours. I'm someone who tends to prioritise story over most aspects so it definitely did something right! - The shrines and towers were a fun distraction to do while I was listening to a podcast or watching Youtube. Keeping me interested in the game where for other more focused games I wouldn't have been able to split my attention. - Some good characters dotted around. Cons: - The open world, while impressive in size just never really felt populated or interesting to me. I dont have many stories about stumbling into a great moment etc. Personally I think the talk of it revolutionising open world games was overhyped. - The difficulty always seemed off. Maybe its the fact that its mixed with the weapons breaking all the time but I never felt it was fair or earned when a normal enemy took me down in one hit. I've never liked durability in any game so its no surprise I didnt like it here. - The story was bland to the point of barely being needed. - A agree with the music criticism, not really a lot there. - Motion control shrines should never have been included. - Voice acting was very hit and miss. I know I have a lot more pros than cons but I did enjoy the game overall. I just thought it was maybe a bit overhyped in the end. Still a lot of fun though. I think the Switch itself probably had a lot to do with my enjoyment of the game. Its very nice to be able to switch between the TV and handheld and as I said in my thoughts, it ended up keeping me playing when with other games I might have put it down to do something else. According to the Switch it took me 35 hours+ to complete the game. Still though, first ever 3D Zelda completed!

Thats the fourth dungeon down. Think I might try and take a run at Ganon now.

Sounds like what happened to Giant Bomb's first Switch as well.

I never watched or listened to any of his stuff but the stuff that seemed to pop up from or about him from time to time never made me want to give it a try. I think this would make me more likely to watch Kinda Funny stuff now.

Everyone's getting into the Switch

Yep, I know what this is like lol

Yeah I've yet to see that as well. Maybe it only does it when you've been using the parental control app? I havent used it.

Theres still the rumour that an aniversary collection will be released on PS4 this year with 1-13 (I assume they'll exclude the MMOs). I hope that does happen as I'd love to own them all in one place.

People are way too invested in the scores a game gets. It's just the 8.8 from Jeff Gerstmann for Twilight Princess all over again. People want their reviewers to honest and able to freely speak their opinions but only when it lines up with their own.

I've just got my flameproof armour so I'm on my way to Goron City to hopefully start work on the last dungeon.

That's 3 dungeons down. Took me a couple of deaths before I got the hand of taking on Thunderblight though!
