Back in 2012, one of my justifications for buying a WiiU was that I KNEW there would be a new Zelda game on it. Like a lot of people, my WiiU got some use, but nowhere near what I was hoping for. The lack of 3rd party support for the WiiU made the over all experience of being a WiiU owner a little underwhelming. When Zelda was announced for WiiU and Switch, I had already made a mental decision that I would be playing it on WiiU, just to get VALUE out of the console, but it also seemed like a good send off for the WiiU.

It's funny how you mentioned all of your weapons breaking fighting the guardians right after mentioning the Master Sword losing power. The thing is, the Master Sword wasn't designed to be an all-around go-to weapon in this game; it was meant to be the perfect counter to guardians. The Master Sword glows with bright light whenever you face an entity of the Calamity (A.K.A the guardians!), and it does massive amounts of damage per strike. Also, in that state, the sword will almost surely not lose power. It's significantly upgraded in every way against guardians, and it's probably your best defense against them. So don't waste the Master Sword on random enemies, and it'll be your best friend.

I wouldn't say ''missed a lot.'' It's just a fun sidequest that doesn't offer that much in the grand scheme of things.

What makes a game "perfect" is subjective. And they both gushed about how much they love the game, why is it wrong to have issues with it?

Well, they grew up along with gaming since Atari, NES. So it's understandable for them to want a realistic looking Zelda for once.

It's so great to hear James being in love with a modern videogame. It's just so unusual for him, since he almost plays no games anymore, and if he does, he plays old NES or SNES games.

I liked the game a lot, found all the shrines, most of the koroks, the secret village, the blue rabbits that give you rupees, the fairies, I even found out that if you hold less than 3 fairies in your pouch, the fountain gets refilled, and the amount of detail in the game is awesome, the clues and dialogue by the NPCs, the Easter eggs from precious Zelda games, the champion's weapons, how to make a catapult out of a box, a rock and a plank, this game is just amazing to explore and discover. Plus it got some great physics to play with. Sure, the story lacks some emotion and content, but I honestly didn't mind, just imo.

Mike thinks the art style is "all they can do"?? It's fucking Nintendo, come on. It was intentional.
@hi_tech_reptiles3 жыл бұрын
This 3 year old comment bothers me. It was partially on the Wii U. Even with the Switch it was intentionally based on the limits of what they could do lol. The Wii U is hardly more powerful than the *Wii* an almost 15 year old console. And the game still slowed down constantly on the Wii U lol. I'm not saying its bad, but a more flat shaded art style allowed them to have a better resolution target on Switch with the open world along with having it on Wii U at all. The texture memory on that thing is not great lol.
@AreYouCerealBRO3 жыл бұрын
@@hi_tech_reptiles Games look beautiful on the Wii U because of Nintendo's art direction. They know their limits and I have never once looked at a Nintendo game and thought "this could look better on a PC". You can't tell me that Nintendo would have made BOTW look completely photo realistic even if they could.

James Rolfe put in over 140 hours on a modern game. Not only does that make this game of the year, it's one of the masterpieces of game design period. Mike may have sounded like he didn't love the game, but every so often, you can hear him gush about it. This game was designed to sidetrack the shit out of you. You stray from your basic objectives...all..the...time lol

The guardians can be taken out with one well-placed blue arrow. Also, just run sideways to avoid the laser (doesn't work when too close).
