Last game you DIDN'T finish and your thoughts

Is 10hrs per Temple a lot? That make the game ??? long

Also remember I finshed BotW in like 25hrs that you can see I took my time more based from that.

Yep I think it's clear that you took your time more.  That said I'd say I've played maybe 30 hours so far, and I haven't got anywhere near the second temple.  It's not even on my imminent to-do list.

I couldn't with your views on BotW

1. Weapon Durability

Better in TotK as when it goes your sword is going to break after two hits, I can least put a rock on the end of it to make a club to get two more hits.

2. No Dungeons

Still in my opinion no dungeons, sure we got the temples which the two I saw looked the same and had the same objective.

3. Bosses

Better in TotK as the two I fought at least weren't just copy and paste like in BotW

4. Story

In BotW you do get some story told to you via the main quest, but a lot was told via the memories with those darn photos of a leaf in the wind on a cold winter's morning. Least in TotK, you've got those geoglyphs that can be spot from the towers and much easier to find.

5. Towers

Climb tower open map up, what's this a Ubisoft game?

6. Story Again

BotW never ever made me want to save Zelda, or why I should care beyond umm yeah I guess better save Hyrule. Again this is improved in TotK as some of the other characters are likeable or give reason to care.

7. VO

Princeess Zelda still isn't for me, at least Matthew Mercer is decent.

8. Shrines

Seemed more in BotW than TotK even though it's the other way around. Now I'd sooner have dungeons and you're going to say they're the same as before, yet this time I did like them maybe it's the white aesthetics, or I prefer Links powers now.

9. No items

Sill no items, I want a boomerang that I use for one dungeon and nothing else.

10. Haven't really got a 10th, maybe though for the next they should look at an ALBW where they make that game bigger, 3D and the dungeons I can go to in any order like in ALBW, but the fire dungeon is easier with the water bombs or along those lines.


Maybe set pieces because in the story at certain points something might happen like Link captured and you have to escape, where I didn't see that in BotW or TotK.

I think the only way I can respond to that is to return the favour...




Like Mas with TotK, I don't think Persona 4 Golden is a bad game. It's just a victim of a suddenly busy time in gaming for me. Why should I spend tens of hours playing a game I might get into, when there are so many games on my pile to be played? And one absolutely massive one that has dominated my time for the last fortnight, and will continue to do so for at least as long again.

I don't think it's a good game either. Or rather, I don't think it's a good RPG. The character customisation ain't much outside the Personas of the main character, the dungeon is a dull mess, the battle system is too simple to have any appeal, and on any of the harder difficulty settings (read: starting at Normal) grinding becomes a necessity. The social sim: sure, there I can see the appeal. The writing's good, shocker. The serial killer plot is enjoyably atmospheric. Chie and Marie are both instantly lovable, and I would have liked to get to know them better outside the RPG they were attached to. I have my struggles with the social sim, a great big set of choices for a gamer who can't stand them, but I can see why people like it.

I have Persona 5 waiting for me, a retail copy. I find it harder to give up on retail copies, and they do say it's the Persona game that finally nails the dungeons. There's one more chance for the Tenseiverse, whose games I've now had four cracks at, to get me on board. No rush, though. I've got an absolutely massive game to enjoy first.

Someone needs to change their signature.

P5 has a bunch of designed dungeons unlike like a certain game and I don't mean P4.

C'mon now you might not like the TotK temples (clearly because you miss that old Zelda gameplay loop) but they very clearly are environments that are designed.

Not uniquely designed at least from the two I did, just the beasts all over again.

Do you mean the objectives being the same? That was a bit of an eyebrow raiser for me at first but I still have to disagree as the puzzles are very different in each one & the main thing is not everyone will solve these puzzles the same way with ultrahand/recall etc either.

You may have done different but basically it was find three things, use power of sage for me and guessing the next three dungeons the same.
