It looks great, if a bit blurry at times. The framerate is acceptable 90-95% of the time but it drops in fights with more than 2-3 enemies and in most woods. It can get annoying and even a death sentence, especially in fights. Not great but in the grand scheme it's ok.

Did you try getting your amigo out?

Good for you, but for all the others who report that they have problems it sucks. If I buy a new product I expect it to be working fine without major hickups like Joy-Con connection issues...

Didn't know about that. Is it really that bad?

All Sheikah Towers activated : peace: I decided to go near what I suspect will be the final area (I mean...it's not difficult to guess ).

Dude...we don't need to know you're playing BotW with your amigo out.

Is there a way to see some kind of completion rate?

Just woke up from an unexpectedly long slumber. Feels like I slept for 100 years...ehem. Anyway, I'm almost completely healthy again. That sleep helped a lot. Fired up the WiiU and can't wait to get back to exploring the world. One more tower left and after that it's time for some good old exploration : peace: Already set up my laptop so I can watch Bundesliga while playing later today Edit: Ok, so the game got me. After 16 hours it got me. Just now I fought a Fire Keese at night. Killed it and the grass caught fire. Right then 3 Stalmoblins rose from the ground and surrounded me. I used the upstream caused by the fire to ascend, aimed my bow and froze the enemies with Ice Arrows. I plunged down and destroyed them Fights like this make me forget how much I dislike breakable weapons

Huge spoilers coming up and lots of disappointment...

Three Sheikah Towers left. But I'm getting a little bored of going after them. I think I'll just choose one area I haven't been to (except for activating the tower) and explore the shit out of that

Fair enough I'm just about to get my 6th and 7th heart containers and then I'll try to reach the remaining 6 map towers and the occasional shrines. I also need to...

I actually meant which of the map towers you were talking about. What a coincidence, by the way. I just reached the Faron Tower and climbed it.

Which towers are you talking about? I need to activate 6 more. Two in the west and 4 in the north.

Enjoy : peace: Just came back from the physician. Nothing too worrying but I'm not feeling too good right now. Looking to get some sleep and I hope I'm well enough later to play again

A bit late to the party but to everybody who gets a Switch today: Enjoy, have fun and remember to eat and drink : peace:

Wow, that is really impressive. : peace: I might (most likely will) get the game sometime next week...

That's the thing. Those little "secrets" don't feel like secrets to me because the reward aren't anything to write home about. As for what I'd like to find: If weapons weren't breakable I'd be happy to find some weapons with unique abilities or stats. But as it stands I don't really use any good weapons because they break...too good to use syndrome, I guess. Heart pieces would be great to find, too. But not sure if it's such a good idea in a world this big to have heart pieces scattered around. Might be a pain to find them.

Anybody here with non PS4 Pro impressions? Mostly interested in the framerate.

You're right, I totally forgot about the fast travel mechanic. I think I'll go back to unlocking them travel points again Don't it is not worth it in my opinion. I upgraded stamina twice hoping to get a good chunk but that extra bar is depleted soooo quickly...I actually regret not getting extra hearts. The framerate is what caused my deaths so far. It can get pretty annoying. Oh my, it's been ages since I've played TP. I don't think I can reliably compare BotW and TP, sorry. I do question my awareness when apparently there are so many secrets at every corner and I seem to miss all of them...? On my way from a shrine to a quest marker I've come across one additional shrine, a group of monsters guarding a chest (which contained a weapon that broke after one !!! fight; I don't consider that a secret) and the occasional wild animal. And I deviated from the path (which was quite lengthy) to my destination a lot. I like to think of myself as someone who is perceptive enough to find secrets, especially considering the amount of exploration games I've played, so I don't know where the problem lies.

I've deviated from that approach. I followed one of the main quests and am trying to reach a certain point. Not sure if this is a good idea as I still only have 3 heart containers but that may finally ramp up the difficulty Something I noticed: The framerate can sometimes get pretty bad during fights against 3 or more monsters. That makes it almost impossible to excecute evasive movements.

That's my biggest gripe with BotW so far (besides breakable weapons...GOD, I hate that ). I wander around a lot without doing anything really...I spot a shrine and on my way there I fight the occasional monster and that's it. It got stale very quickly. However, I do enjoy a massive world to explore (even though there's not a lot in it) and I will continue doing that tomorrow as soon as I come back from the physician. : peace:

The game could've benefited a lot from a much smaller map/world. Also:

You can and I did. But complete button reconfiguration would be better, at least for me. Yeah, I can see how it will get worse. Which may become really annoying as I fear you have to rely on your inventory a lot. But I guess it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. I was only joking Way too early to judge the game. Yeah it is. Got annoying very quickly... Could be but I have to agree even though I haven't played Nioh in a while.

Played this for an hour. Can't believe it got so many 10/10s. Should've gotten 15/10s To get this out of the way, some things I don't like: Inventory management, both in the dedicated inventory menu and the quick menus. It's a bit clunky. Stamina - I understand that it's used as a device to limit your traversal and it's a nice design choice. However, you should be able to have unlimited sprint distance. Getting around seems a bit slow for now, but that's just my personal thing. Button configuration - I'd love to change things up a bit Very minor things, though a little annoying. Other than that it's been a blast so far and I can't wait to see what this game has to offer.
