I leave for two weeks and everything goes to hell.
Meat is overrated anyway. I can easily go days without eating it, especially with how I've been eating recently.

I didnt see that 😯 Can you link it?Open world games even today seem to be limited by design decisions made when the hardware was much more limiting than it is now. One reason I generally don't enjoy open world games is the facade of grandeur usually falls away pretty quickly and you start to see the shallow design.
I'm worried as hell that this new Zelda will do that
I love seeing urban wildlife traversing cities like they're just another commuter waiting to cross the street or waiting for a bus.
See my skunk crossing the street post last night, it was the most adorable thing I've seen in months.

I quit mainly on moral grounds originally, and I've gotten used to it
okay, why not.
Well what I was saying is that Zelda cities are more like villages and feel like that's all they need to be. Elder scrolls cities are supposed to have large economic and cultural impact but have 20 people in them. A Zelda city with 20 people usually doesn't seem like it does much in terms of trading and is just self sufficient. A much more primitice kind of city. And like I said with the larger cities they hide off parts of them in the background like in oot and tp.ah, the debates you miss when you're banned
Really? When I think of "games where the cities are implausibly small" my mind first goes to Zelda. Maybe something about the more creatively designed characters makes them feel busier and more populous than they actually are.
Well if the new Zelda is limited by something it will be time considering they seem to not need a facade of grandeur

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Did you find it extremely difficult at first? I've been thinking about doing it tbh
This one:
It made my freakin' night, I was just inexplicably happy after that.
I have hopes that Nintendo is the first company to actually get an open world RPG right.

Hot damn I love the sound of The Bundys

Zelda has good towns... sometimes.
I liked Wind Waker's island towns.
Kakariko in LttP was cool, especially how it had a dark world counterpart that was not so friendly.
OoT's castle town and Kakariko were well done. I liked how they were compact, yet full of life and very individualized characters. The mini-game shops were great fun in castle town and had a nice game-y atmosphere to them, where Kakariko also had a lot personality to it in its sleepy atmosphere. The lurking Death Mountain and the nearby graveyard, the Skulltula house, and later the well, gave the town a sense of terror lurking beneath its ordinary facade.
Majora's is objectively well designed as you spend a lot of time there, but I didn't like that game so meh
Minish Cap's was good but way too small

dark souls franchise and witcher 3 get it right imo
Red dead redemption?
And yesterday I saw a cat that was flattened on the road. Let's trade animal in the street stories please
Nah it's not that hard. I buy lots of tofu and avocados and walnuts. I make lentil soup almost every day. Fruits/veggies/berries too. And other things
Almond milk is baller and a more than suitable milk replacement
If you want to pack in lots of protein it's undoubtedly more simple a task if you eat meat, and that may be partly why I don't have a lot of muscle mass. There are still ways to get it though if you are motivated but I'm not trying to build mass so I don't care.

Eh... I don't see it. In Zelda it's always "the great, long-storied kindom of Hyrule" or whatever and the kingdom is just fifty to a hundred people, split into three or four towns of a dozen characters each or one big town in the center. It raises the question of how did all of these huge castles and dungeons get built? Why are Ordon and Lon-Lon ranch so renowned if they barely have enough animals to feed themselves, let alone produce domestic product?
Also, ironically, the largest actual town in Twilight Princess is the sheikah ghost town.
It gets open world right and if Zelda does it right, that will be the closest comparable
Yep, it does, though I it lacks the RPG part, I don't mind that but would be nice to have it.
I don't consider any of the DS games I've played to be "open world" in the same way that something like Skyrim is and Witcher 3 ain't that much better than Skyrim in that regard.
The design of the DS worlds is really nice though.
Didn't enjoy it, especially in retrospect. Suffered from all the problems that open world games have been suffering from for a decade. The game would have been much better as a more guided experience like DS.
No thank you to that trade
I already drink Almond milk and I can't eat eggs
Problem would be cheese though, needs my cheese.
Today is Anything Can Happen Thursday, a day in which my routine is shaken to the very core as I abandon my organisational needs and do something crazy/boring. Monday is Chinese, Tuesday is KFC, Wednesday is McDonalds, Friday is fish and chips, and the weekend is anything that I have in the freezer and cupboards. Anything Can Happen Thursday doesn't apply to food only, of course, it affects my entire plans for the night. After throwing the die, it looks like tonight I'm...reading Game Of Thrones and eating crackers, washed down with wine.
How is it less of an rpg than Zelda? If we're accepting jobbs calling Zelda an rpg I think it's fair to also call rdr and rpg
I very much disagree. You need open world to nail the tone of the west. And it's pretty well guided. You follow the roads on your horse and as you go the quests keep telling you to go further and further out. It's really not a game that particularly rewards going off the beaten path unless you just enjoy doing that on your own.

Aw❤️
I just saw a duck on a roof!!!!
At first I inexplicably thought "does that lady have a pet skunk that she walks off leash?!" that's how natural they looked standing basically next to each other. I don't think she saw him/her.
I wanna see a duck on a roof!
Lucky.
Ducks are awesome.okay have your phone ready so next time you see an animal doing something weird you can capture it
what's going on in germany!

Zelda ain't an RPG and Dark Souls ain't open world
But is dark souls punk?
Ok, fair enough. I was going to bring up the level up system, but even non rpgs have it so I got nothing, lol.
Bruh, Zelda's an RPG.

^^^^^^^^^
But, RDR is awesome!!!
wrong and wrong
in zelda you dungeon crawl, level up (heart container upgrades), learn new abilities, interact with NPCs and assume the identity of a blank avatar
dark souls has you exploring a somewhat large map in pretty much whatever order you choose.
It's a very capable game, that's the best I can say about it.
Very much like GTA. I don't think Rockstar can make a game I love.

People to this day will argue that for Zelda. Many don't consider it an RPG compared to the likes of Final Fantasy and such.
Yeah, Breath of the Wild is a odd name.
Ya, and riding your horse from mission to mission in the world they made was not fun. It made the game worse.
I love Metroid, it's my shit, but a RPG Metroid would be interesting to see.
yeah it would
Have you played other Rockstar games besides RDR that aren't GTA?=O

I like Breath of the Wild because it's the first title since Link to the Past to not be "thing that is in game"
Zelda is typically called "action adventure" and has very few rpg mechanics
Next you're going to tell me that the mako made mass effect worse
Most LoZ games don't classify as an RPG. You technically don't have stats beyond damage counters that you can't see for different weapons, upgrades are bare bones, and you have no control over what your character is aside from the name. But Breath of the Wild is definitely an RPG. There's no doubt about that.
I may be wrong but I think that's the direction Jobbs is going with Ghost Song
IIRC there will be NPCs and such
Hmm... Bully was alright, Table Tennis was dumb, LA Noire was bad...
They Developed Manhunt right? That game was pretty good.
lol
it's not a hardcore RPG but it's more of an RPG than metroid is. there are npcs you can talk to and stats and levels and a pet you can feed and make it evolve
Yeah that's cool, but the name could had been something else!
I haven't heard of that game.=O
They're just terms and meaningless. It's like the agonizing threads over whether the Souls games are JRPGs or not.
sounds dope

Total bullshit, I played the demo and put some decent thought into this thread. It was a legitimate point of discussion with well reasoned points. 5 second reaction my ass. I am offended
