Aside from some things already mentioned in this thread, I have a rather petty complaint.

The Xenoblade Chronicles sidequest ticked me off. Instead of being offered as an optional, free DLC quest, it was slipped into a game update. In other words, the main game now contains a blatant advertisement. (The DLC is separate and optional, so the Nintendo Switch shirt, etc. aren't bothering me nearly as much.)

Yeah everyone went crazy about this cooking, it's just a pain in the ass combining the ingredients and finding recipes yeez
Yeah freaking boring! BotW is the best looking Zelda, but the game play sucks! I hate it probably just as much as Skywards Sword. And i absolutely don't understand all the positive reviews, Nintendo probably payed them off.

O yeah, also the motion controls that were forced upon you and almost made it impossible to get into the dungeon was very frustrating about Skywards Sword and the absence of the for Zelda-so-typical-day-and-night-cycle was a huge deal-breaker to me.

The dungeons - I like the standard dungeons and the standard gears. I hope, they will add these back in the next zelda game.

The Ganon fight wasn‘t epic to me. In the other games it was epic af and it costs alot of time to beat him. In botw it was easy and the champions did damage him so hard, that it was in the end to easy to beat him and yes, I agree with the water exploration.
that's why you fight ganon before you do the champions. You choose the difficulty on the ganon fight. So much more rewarding when you fight ganon with low hearts and no champions

What are/were your disappointments with Breath of the Wild?

For me it was the lack of water*. I was hoping that when the commercial unveiled with all the water scenery that Link would be able to explore those bodies of water. In the game he was only able to float on the surface and catching fish without a rod was weird. In previous games he was able to dive in or sink to the bottom and explore (except for windwaker, 99.9%water....)

*water exploration
my disapoint in the brething of wild was the lak of midnos and feys like the older good and nice zeldos. was the nicest and made me fel like having: frends. also, i love teh stick of sungs in the wind woker. unfortunat here is just whistle song of horse. sads :cry::whip:F

I didn't like the climbing neither, it felt like a rip-off of Assassins Creed, where the latter was created as a rip-off from Zelda in the first place. So, adjusting Zelda to a western public is moving away from what made it great. Zelda lost its originality and has died because of it. And don't even get me started on those obnoxious amiibo's! For f**k's sake how can you force that sh*t upon us like that Ninty?

I can't speak to the later games but the earlier ones I played saw climbing be a pretty essential part of the game, and useful ability within it should you wish to use it.

it was just weird to me that nobody ever looked up at the guy running up houses and flipping across buildings leaping 50ft then murdering people. i played unity and syndicate they werent fun imo. origins looks fun but i hate desert settings even though they did add a bit of water

Sound:
Yea it's an open world so it's probably harder to make same good sound for the whole game, but it's all recycled, something like song of storms or gerudo valley doesn't exist.
Dungeons: It's more like OOT child dungeons and pretty weak.
Boss: Nope there weren't any, or maybe one if you count all 5.
Shrines: not really hard, most of them felt the same like there are 5 different kinds which repeads them self.
Sorry but I think it's more or less a hardware demo for the switch, there are still so many questions.

The story is weak per se, so many good ideas but none of em is really finished.
5/7

For the ones I played there were plenty of general NPCs which commented on it, and guards that would do stuff about it, be it on the ground or when you were up there.

Also nobody ever looks up and see also "bystander effect".

Re "i hate desert settings even though they did add a bit of water"
Curious, I have never found settings something to be dismissed. They can do it badly and it can be inappropriate (pretty hard to do a subtle romance scene during desert survival)

i dont like how food/elixir effects dont stack. for instance you can stack 5 attack fish for +3atk but combining attack+defense food only gets a heart refill instead of +1 atk & def

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
