You know the more I think about this the more I kinda like it. Just say no to it and allow it to be a solid gaming system, but then again we live in such a connected media world people would bitch about it.
I'm sure they'll show up, Nintendo says they will (we'll see, they need buy in from those companies to build the apps). I just don't see the point. I have tablets/phones and other much more used consoles and devices connected to a TV already. I don't need this to do that, I will only ever use it to play Zelda and Mario
If I can get a game on the Xbox I'll still play it there. Achievements for the win, and most of my friends are there. But like any quality game, if it's exclusive I will play elsewhere. Zelda (and eventually Mario) will make it worth owning. Off topic, but one of these days I also need to brush dust off my PS4 and play Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn I suppose too...
I agree about the Switch and Zelda. I am also loving it. Very beautiful game. World is HUGE and man it's just done so well. I am going to bring up a few things I dislike or find to take a way from my enjoyment a little. First off weapons breaking. Should not have been included in a Zelda game, EVER. Who likes to go into a dungeon to fight a hard enemy to have their weapons constantly break and then you have to go into the menu and equip another? Frustrating at times. Doesn't take away from the game overall but annoying. Same goes for an inventory limit. I can only have so many weapons on me that will break anyway? What if I run out? They do have many weapons to pick up everywhere to make that not too much an issue but still.Also the world is HUGE and it's sometimes a pain to travel. Climbing is a chore and slow. Same with swimming. You have an endurance meter and with swimming and climbing if it runs out you either drown and go back to shore if swimming or fall if climbing. For such a large world I wish travel was easier. You can fast travel once you find travel points so I guess exploring is something that can be fun but with limited time I guess the old me see sit as a chore.
Yeah, the weapon breaking is a pain. Climbing and swimming are a bit of a pain. Having not really played previous Zelda's they just seem to be a normal mechanic to me I guess. Plus, as far as "completion percent" of the game, most of it is collecting the Korok seeds, which you can turn in to expand your inventory slots for weapons/shields/bows, so you eventually have a lot of them sitting in your inventory I guess.Travel is a pain if you are exploring and trying to climb a lot. There are clothing items you get that will increase climbing speed or swimming speed to alleviate that eventually though. Also, I've spent more of my spirit orbs on endurance than I have on hearts. I have lots of cooked items for health and extra hearts in inventory, the extra endurance to climb higher peaks is nice
No - I have I am sure over 70 hours in. I know it was over 65 last week and I spent plenty of time in it this weekend. I have done about 2/3 of the shrines, found 1/3 of the collectible things you use to increase inventory space, completed 4/4 divine beasts (dungeons). I spent most of my time over the weekend exploring areas of the map where I hadn't found shrines and such just looking for new places and exploring.
