RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

[CopperTom]

The Divine Beast was cool in Zelda

Which one did you beat?

Spoiler: show

I've only done the elephant one so far. Took me quite awhile to figure it out. Very cool new take on dungeons, especially given the shrines.

Rito / Bird is the easiest. Then Goron / Lizard. Hardest is Geradu / Camel. Be sure to buy the fire gear, cold gear and heat gear. It costs a lot, but relying on elixirs sucks. You need both heat gear and cold gear for the desert.

How do you make elixirs? I have a bunch of stuff for them, but you can't really cook them? I just made it to Goron City and bought the gear to withstand heat.

You can view the ingredients to any elixir you possess. You can fiddle with recipes or elixers. My simple goto is 1 basic meat + 1 radish = full hearts +3. There's a very simple quest to obtain one of those pieces of gear. I bought the gear first too.

I really hate crafting.

[Monkey_Driven]

I usually don't like crafting in games if it feels tedious or tacked on, but I really like it in both Zelda and Horizon.

Ganon is dead.

I cleared all Shrines, found all memories and completed all side quests. I plan on going back and finding all shrine chests. I can't imagine that I'd find all Koroks. I only found 240 out of 900. I had no interest in taking photos for the compendium. This would be the first Zelda that I didn't get everything of everything.

The game was excellent. One of the best games that I've ever played. I'd recommend this game to anyone.

The Zelda team said this is the direction of all console Zelda's moving forward. If I had to guess, the next Zelda will either have a greater reliance on wildlife companions (riding horses, birds, bears, dolphins, etc.) or using transformations.

How many hours have you logged? Did you use any walkthroughs to find shrines?

I hope future games stick to the shrines. I love them.

Yeah, I used a map to find the last handful. Does it track hours somewhere? I'd guess about 100.

I think you can track it somewhere in the Switch's menus.

Playing the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remaster. It's like being reunited with some great old friends. Don't skip this one if you are new to the series. Really love the light adventure vibe its a lot more fun than all the angst in the last one.

Man I love just climbing, gliding, and exploring in Zelda. Open world done right.

[CopperTom]

I never found the clock or completion percentage. I found the horse fairy though.

Definitely a great world to explore.

Anyone know anything about the Uncharted spinoff? It's priced like a full game, but does it require Uncharted 4?

It does not. Standalone game/story, but with Uncharted characters. I'm very excited about it.

Speaking of standalone spinoffs, trag, have you played Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon? You should.

I read the fine print after posting, it reads like anyone who owns Uncharted 4 will get this as a free download?

I have not, and I'd love to, but it hasn't been ported to PS4 yet. As best as I know, the only way to play it is to get sign up for Playstation Now and rent the PS3 version on my PS4.

Unfortunately, I think it is only free if you purchased the super deluxe version of Uncharted 4.

The next Zelda Amiibos were announced - MM, TP, SS. To be released on June 23. Keep your eyes peeled for preorders. Hopefully, the first of the Zelda Season Pass DLC will also be released on June 23.

3 BoW Amiibos are available at BestBuy.com for those of you still hunting.

Just bought Zelda for my girlfriend's birthday - not till next Wednesday. Pretty torturous wait until I, er, she gets to play it.
