mipha’s theme sounds like costello’s “almost blue”
― voodoo chili, Monday, 25 January 2021 13:56 (three years ago) link
Got the switch versh of this just afore xmas for no raisin, thought I'd give it a replay. Ive done in a week what took months to do first time round.
I'm finding getting Revalis Gale first (rather than Mipha's Grace) has made a LOT of early game shit much easier. And I can navigate so much of the map from memory now haha /lolsad.

revali > mipha > big charge attack > shield thing
― adam, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 00:22 (three years ago) link
you can do a lot w/shield thing that i didn't realize for the longest time
― real muthaphuckkin jeez (crüt), Wednesday, 27 January 2021 00:44 (three years ago) link
yeah tbh i don't think i really know how to use it, it kinda kicks in accidentally for me.

shield thing helps a lot vs. guardians

kinda feel like the divine beast powers are "too much", "cheating"
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 January 2021 01:41 (three years ago) link
You should start with all the powers and have to sacrifice each one to beat the corresponding beast

I like that they disable 'em in the shrines at least.

You mean like, he flies into his own arrow somehow? I wonder if the physcs even allow for that to do anything ha.

While playing the DLC, wandering around doing nothing, I found an original-game shrine for the first time since 2018 or 19, and my heart went a-flutter

Buried somewhere in canyon east of Tabantha

Which, the one in the forgotten temple?
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 15:14 (three years ago) link
Man, I love this game
i didn't find the south akkala stable until a dlc side quest pointed me there, that's after playing the game without dlc for 150+ hours
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 16:16 (three years ago) link
It was almost at the bottom of a canyon on the way to Rito village. Rito was my first divine beast on my first playthrough. I'm sure I would've heard the radar ping, but I wouldn't have had the endurance to climb up and down to find it back then.
And I'm sure there's still a bunch of impossible-to-find shrines under the snow in the NW section of the map.
Haven't played for a while but it's still the best game! I never feel like I've wasted my time playing it, even when I'm up till 2am and feel like crap the next day.
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 16:47 (three years ago) link
even when resorting to maps the last few shrines were a real bastard to find. Even on the second playthrough there were some I struggled to find again
― stet, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 17:27 (three years ago) link
I definitely resorted to maps for the last 10 or so. No regerts, happy to 100% it. Should actually play the DLC someday though

i started playing on master mode got maybe half way through then just devoted myself to killing taluses and now i have so many gems
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 17:43 (three years ago) link
master mode is kinda dumb imo its not that much harder you just end up avoiding fighting more
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 17:45 (three years ago) link
it basically just makes it really hard to fight a bunch of guys at once because of the life regeneration
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 17:46 (three years ago) link
im playing this for the first time now
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 06:08 (three years ago) link
Omg all this time we were heckling Josh and you held out like two full years longer.
― Canon in Deez (silby), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 07:15 (three years ago) link
I'm about a month in to my first playthrough, 75 or so shrines down. The DLC is worth picking up, right?
― Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 09:59 (three years ago) link
Yes. I held off getting it until I had virtually finished the main game and feel like that was the wrong way to go.
― stet, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 10:11 (three years ago) link
okay, good to know, thanks
― Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 10:12 (three years ago) link
I finished the game first and then got the DLC so it was easier to spot the differences. You can start the DLC from the last save game before completion, you don't need to start the whole game again.
(Either way is fine though!)
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 12:16 (three years ago) link
I'd say it's inessential in the sense that the main game is enough, but the DLC adds about 20 or so new shrines which are all slightly harder than average. (Sometimes too hard - one shrine I was stuck on for about six months.)
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 12:18 (three years ago) link
But it's essential 'cause its MORE BOTW.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 12:19 (three years ago) link
Ah! same!!
― flamboyant goon tie included, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 12:22 (three years ago) link
I'm not sure actually if it was the same stable (I think it was?) but yeah there was one stable I didn't find until way way way way after I'd done pretty much everything
the south akkala one is nested in between some mountains, not really near any of the akkala landmarks like tarrey town. i actually had found the stable’s associated shrine but i guess i didn’t hear the stable music and just went off in another direction
― voodoo chili, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 13:10 (three years ago) link
just downloaded the DLC, and it has dumped a load of new quests into my Adventure Log, like I didn't have enough to do already FFS Princess Zelda!

I just had other things to do! And wanted to wait for a Zelda game to go on sale, a thing that never happens! But, inexplicably for 24 hours, it did (for 60 cad instead of 80)
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 16:45 (three years ago) link
Anyway I hated it at first but I'm getting into it and it's pretty good.
goontie, every time I play this game even now, I'm riding my horse at night and think of what you said way upthread about the music (cutting and pasting here):
"the pointillistic piano part just kept escalating and escalating until a full repeal of ObamaCare was suddenly upon me"
lol

ok does that repeating motif in the pharaoh sanders/floating points album remind anyone else of rito village?

it does hah, botw in particular has a few 6-7 note, ambiguously modal themes like that one

if BotW were a computer game, the pc gamers would be lording their "saxophone patch" over us
― microsloth fig stimulator (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 16:33 (two years ago) link
of course I'd buy it as an expansion
― microsloth fig stimulator (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 16:34 (two years ago) link
I guess since people are flipping out over BOTW2, I guess I should try playing this again? I got really bored the first time through, and trying to find the temples only to feel stymied by the puzzles was not enjoyable.
― BABABUOY (Leee), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 18:31 (two years ago) link
Even I loved it. It's one of the few games I finished that I've kind of wanted to play again even at the expense of games I haven't started. And for that matter, "finished" is debatable, since I finished the story and a lot of the side stuff, but I know there is much more I could do. The world is just so rich and interactive and fun to explore.
