Man, this game not being playable officially on something that can output 4K is tragic. this looks SO much better upscaled to 4K on Ryujinx(Switch emulator).
I couldn't imagine playing this on the Switch at ~1080P.

I'll still buy it but I may just play this on the emulator exclusively.

yeah at this point we aint getting that until Switch 2 which got DLSS or when someone gets the emulated versions modded up for better performance and resolution. it's a shame because the game ain't graphically crazy but the art style is fire and the hardware holds it back.

It's easy to lose time doing mundane tasks like movement and traversal.

Alright, so I got to try out the leaked version on Steam Deck - ran like absolute trash

The opening scene was really contrived - hey we know you are mighty Link with the master sword and 20 hearts but we are going to have some ganondorf slime grab your arm and conveniently drain you down to 3 hearts, break your master sword, and take away Zelda - start from scratch bytch

I didn't play much longer after that because the frame rate was just too awful - in the open world I was down to like 2 frames per second lmao

So without looking at major spoilers, the general consensus is that I’ll be shocked if this games gets below a 95 on Metacritic.:wow:
Unless this game goes completely left field and it sky dives away from the little I've played in the tutorial/intro area, this game will be an easy 97~98 game. It's literally BOTW but better. Like, I literally haven't done anything outside of getting two power ups and just moving around the area and seeing shyt. If I see dungeons this may be the GOAT Zelda game.

My son preordered this on Amazon, but on the 12th I'm going to Wal-Mart in the morning. I told him that from jump. This is his own purchase with his own money. We have 2 switches.


Should I let him have his own copy?
Or should I just cancel his and share mine?

I would cancel mine but...case me and my lady ever part ways :ufdup: .......
Why don't you just by digital and share it you deadbeat?

I’ve been playing a bit more last night and this morning. It’s running better now that I tweaked a couple settings. I’m just running through the intro area as I want to explore how much Hyrule has changed

Wow...they hid all the DLC and Amiibo items from BOTW in the Depths. At least they are free, but you gotta work hard for it. For example:
Majora's Mask is rewarded after you kill 5 highest tier Lynel's in a floating coliseum. The Depth's ain't no joke. Majora's Mask actually speaks to you this time.

Dope - some of those items were overpowered anyway

Aight I'm done looking at spoilers. I just saw some shyt I regret seeing.
Link can customize and control a Zonai Mech. Seems like Monolith Software who also worked on this game showing their Xenoblade Chronicles X and you can take the mech anywhere....
