I never felt it was that barren. Felt like it was always something you could do.
If you are sitting alone in the middle of a desert/ocean/whatever you can always start a thumb war against yourself but it does not make for a compelling way to pass the time.

Looks beautiful. Was thinking how cute that pokemon-like squirrel was (0:43) until she nailed it with an arrow (0:49) and made a roast of it (0:52).

I think it was genshin impact which kinda looks more like a tales game rather than botw.

I came across the video on Nintendo's YouTube channel and it looks magical. It's basically exactly BotW but with worse graphics (not bad, just somewhat dated looking), and that's not a bad thing, watching the trailer made me feel much the same way watching the original BotW reveal did, and they chose some great music to use for the trailer. I hope all the music in the game is as good as that.

BotW was already looking outdated, this is not just "dated looking" this game looks miles better, but not on the switch.

have you ever played an island survival game before? they usually end up sucking. they usually have very little combat too (hunting isn't combat) so i'm not getting my hopes up for this especially if it has a bad crafting system (they usually do)
Ark: Survival Evolved is pretty great.

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
