I enjoyed this game as well as X2: Wolverine's Revenge back in the day. One of my favorite touches of the origin game is the damage model on Wolverine, shit could get gruesome.

Yeah, my one complaint really is that loot doesn't really feel particularly special when you're going to break it sooner or later.
Though I've found some pretty good weapons that I've broken on some of the harder enemies.
I actually don't mind the inventory system overall. I just wish I could throw bows like I can throw away my bad weapons by tossing it.
As you progress through the game later weapons have higher durability. They still break, but they take a beating for some time. I didn't like the durability system initially but now that I'm in the swing of things I do respect it. I am actually starting to like how this is forcing me to always adjust and adapt--it just adds to the hectic sandbox nature of the game. Also [ITEM SPOILERS!!!]
it only emphasizes how great the master sword is once you realize that it's technically unbreakable--it's like the first item you truly feel the need to keep, and other items that carry their durability like the lightscale trident

Their reasoning for Wolverine's lunge is funny. Something to the extent of, Logan has stubby claws while Kratos has chains to reach enemies far away, so we'll make him comically jump enemies to close the distance.
And Dan will have an inside line to 2020's grumpy cat, White Guy Blinking.

I like the durability system in BotW. It encourages me to use weapons I normally would never even bother with. Doesn't feel like busy work or unrewarding either, you find new weapons everywhere.
Also finally finished UPF. Drew is gonna be missed

I need the next Beast in the East episode, now. I'm debating waking up extra early tomorrow morning to start it. Their reaction to the Majima reveal in the last episode was everything I'd hoped.

I found most of the videos leading up to release boring, it looked boring when Jeff played it and the reviews never really convinced me when I read them. My friend got it for me as a late birthday gift and I played about 12 hours and gotta say...It's pretty good. Has a pretty engaging story and the combat does feel really good. I'm not in love with the game and have a few issues with it, but it is good.
I see... I'll probably pick it up when it's on sale then! Thanks

I might redbox Horizon when I get a moment. Picked up a shift for work, so I gotta wait for BiTE part 5 but oh well, cash money.
I was pretty worried after seeing the quick look but I'm loving the game. I think it kind of shows that it's the studio's first open world game cos it's a bit rough around the edges in some ways but the core combat is good and the story is really fucking great.

I feel bad for Dan if he's going to Wrestlemania

The best game on Switch besides Zelda, as long as you got someone else to play with.
I feel like there isn't a single Wrestlemania that Dan would hate going to.

Dan will find something dumb to do to entertain himself, like holding an obnoxiously big cutout of his face.
Big Show Hall of Fame Vape Watch 2017 will make it all worth it.
Also if a wrestler steps near horse shit.

I didn't say I feel bad for him if he's going to the Hall of Fame show or NXT.

I spent... so much time playing Zelda this weekend. I doubt I've played game this much over a weekend since college. I'm almost glad the Switch doesn't have the activity tracker so I could actually quantify my shame :lol
If 1-2 Switch were cheaper I'd be tempted to buy it to try with coworkers on lunch (or drinking after work lol).

Basically how I feel with Horzion rn. And now I just got Zelda.
I managed to refrain from putting it in my mouth, it was tempting doe.

Same. Got no chores done because I was glued to my Switch all weekend. I keep having a revelation when I realize I'll be able to continue playing during my downtime at work. I just beat my first major dungeon. What an incredible game.

I know what you mean. I usually play about 1-2 hours of a game per day when I can with some days being 2-3 hours if i'm not terribly busy or I get a new game. With Zelda I was expecting the same thing but I think I played about 6 hours on Friday, about 10 hours on Saturday and 7 hours today. I haven't played a game in that stretch of time since I played persona 4 on the PS2 when I was in high school. There is just something great about the game. I really need to get back to horizon at some point :/ I might make horizon my weekday game and zelda my weekend game so I can hopefully get both done before Persona 5 comes out.
I can't believe how much time I've spent playing Zelda and I still have at least three regions I haven't stepped foot in. This game is massive.
I'm a bit disappointed that I'm being forced (or at least strongly encouraged) to focus on heart containers over stamina upgrades though. Dan mentioned it on a podcast or in the QL, I really wish I had followed his advice now.

Yup, hearts or bust. Some of the enemies here just 1 hit kill you, which is always surprising as hell whenever it happens.

Give yourself at least one or two stamina upgrades though. Being able to climb/glide stupid distances without stamina-specific food is really, really useful while exploring.

Eh, it's so easy to avoid attacks or farm fairies that I'd rather have the stamina to go exploring.
It's actually for another reason which I won't spoil here, though it has been nice against some of the more annoying enemies.

I went the total opposite direction since I wanted to climb some really high mountains and paraglide farther as soon as possible. Finally upgraded my heart's after 20 shrines. Going stamina focused at first is doable, You just have to be a lot more strategic with encounters and utilize parries, dodging and flurry rush more. Also abusing bombs like crazy.

Don't forget food buffs. Super important early on in the game and they make you a demigod later on once you've upgraded your base stats.

Where? I've come across two after a number of hours.
And I wish Switch had a PS4 video feature. Somehow a wild horse decided to jump off a bridge after me into a lake. I watched it swim over to me on a small island, which it's now stranded on because it won't swim off.
I think she might already be in a serious relationship.
Engagement is just a word my friend.

The video of Vinny etc. getting lost in the web of shady download sites looking for a Eurotruck mod came up in my recommended videos and yup, still Top 5 Greatest GB moments.
EZA did a farewell strean for the Wii U.

That would be a neat idea for GB. Just to go through the highlights of the system and look back at them. See if something has changed about how they feel about them.
