If it’s a first-person view then I just want to point the stick in the direction I want to look. If its a third-person view then I’m moving the camera so you need inversion.

Dark Templar from StarCraft. Just going about your business then suddenly you’re sliced in half.

A Ghost dropping a nuke is pretty scary but not much different from the real life possibility of dying from a mile you didn’t know was coming. Just not from an invisible person.

Being infested by the zerg would be pretty terrifying too. Not really a specific unit though, I don’t think. Haven’t played in quite a while.

I’m going to be real- I enjoyed BotW and TotK enough, but I don’t see them as traditional Zelda games and it actually pisses me off that Aonuma has come out and said we will NEVER get a traditional 3D Zelda ever again. So the success of the open-world Zeldas is the nail in the coffin for the games we actually grew up loving. The death of the open-world fad can’t come soon enough, most of these games are nothing special.

misanthropy,

I tried and hated both. Which sucks, because I have played just about every Zelda game up to botw. It’s just not a Zelda game. It’s generic open world adventure game number 58957853378 with a Zelda graphics pack…

a_fine_hound,

I agree wholeheartedly, I haven’t played any Zelda before BotW and based purely on reviews you’d think it’s the second coming, but then it’s just kind of a cool open-world puzzle game with truly atrocious combat system. It feels like some people just love bland and uninspired as long as it has Zelda branding.

I personally modded the game to remove weapon and shield durability, and it was unreal how much more enjoyable this made BOTW to me.

It’s much older but the RE1 remake for GameCube has that same stressful (in a good way) gameplay you’re describing. Looks pretty good for how old it is too in my opinion. It’s the only RE game I’ve finished cause I’m a wimp 😅

Erdrick,

Oh man… “crimson heads…”

Geez my first encounter startled me good. Very much a jump scare.

Erdrick,

RE2 on PSX was my first.
I had two distinct feelings of extreme dread and true primal fear.
One was the first sequence, attempting to maneuver through the burning zombies.
The next was the morgue, even knowing as I walked in exactly what would happen.
I’ve never since then felt such and emotion in life that compared.

I remember getting to the police station, exploring a little bit, and then immediately noping out of playing the game 😅

Erdrick,

Would that be the original or remake?
Not that it really matters… they are BOTH pretty terrifying.

The original PS1 version. I’ve never played the remake but I really like the concept behind the tyrant. Ensuring I’ll never play it xD

If you can’t work out how to make a cold person warm, maybe this isn’t the game for you, I didn’t even realise that was a puzzle or challenge tbh

MyDearWatson616,

It practically forces you to figure out cold weather on the plateau.

secondaccountlemmy,

A nine year old out there has probably beaten the game. This complaint is kinda hilarious ngl

BROMETHIUS,

Lots of spicy fruits for me. Until I could afford a jacket lol

CaptPretentious, do games w I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but …

It’s a very mid game.

Large area of nothingness. Nothing really to explore or a reason too. Combat is strait up discouraged. The quality of the story falls off a cliff right quick. The Zora zone has the best story and NPCs.

Crafting clearly should have been a thing, it at least a real use for gems. And cooking was under done in so many ways. The only thing you need to know how to make was the baked durian fruit.

It’s honestly a victim of the trend that existed of every game needing to be as big as possible and be open world.

And hopefully you don’t like archery, because Nintendo figured you’d need to really work to buy arrows so you can launch a few. They made sure to patch out an exploit (on a single player game) that made it easy to get arrows.

The game could have and should have been better. I know people will get mad, because people lost their minds when it came out and people dared to not give it a perfect score… but this game really felt like a tech demo… to see what they could do and see what was popular. I forced myself to beat it, haven’t touched it since.

It’s not a bad game, but not great either.

@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Non inverted, keyboard and mouse.
The only games I play inverted are flight games on a controller where I invert Y, only because I’m too cheap to buy a flight stick setup and whenever I go doyen that rabbit hole I start overthinking it and not buying anything.

cyanarchy, do games w Do you prefer inverted or uninverted camera, and what are your experiences with it in general?

You’re the first person on earth I’ve ever heard of to invert the X axis, I can’t even think of a game that let’s you do that.

I’m pretty boring, I like my sticks neat unless I’m flying an aircraft, then I need vertical invert.

Now tank control schemes I could argue about for a while, what numbskull wants to drive in the exact direction they’re firing?

Grangle1, do games w I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but …

BotW and TotK are a very different type of game from OoT. As others have pointed out, there are a lot of environmental mechanics to learn as well as how to find and use different types of weapons due to weapon durability. It’s a much more open ended game than OoT where exploration is much more of a focus, whereas OoT is more story focused and has a more specific order to do things (which isn’t 100% set in stone, as the whole Spirit vs Shadow Temple debate proves) that’s still more straightforward than the newer games. I like both types of games, especially for both OoT and BotW/TotK being gaming masterpieces for their time, and the three of them are my top 3 Zelda games for sure. But if you don’t like one or more of them that’s perfectly fine. Not every game will appeal to everyone.

leggettc18,

Fun fact, Spirit and Shadow aren’t the only temples in that game you can do out of order. You can do the Fire Temple first, as there is only one chest that requires arrows and it doesn’t have anything crazy important in it. Water Temple can also be cleared without arrows, but you do have to get a bit more creative with some non-intuitive jumps and either saving and resetting or using a warp song to go back to the dungeon entrance without raising the water level in order to do that. Spirit Temple does require arrows but nothing else from the other dungeons is required so you could do it as early as your second dungeon. Even then I think you can abuse invincibility frames to skip an eye switch and I can’t remember anything else that required arrows in there. Shadow Temple is the most restrictive, but only because you have to clear Forest, Fire, and Water in order to gain access to it. Once you’re actually in the dungeon you’ll find that arrows are the only item from the other dungeons you actually have to use to beat it.

RightHandOfIkaros, do gaming w What is the most terrifying RTS game unit to be up against?

It depends. AoE2 Organ Guns, in a group of at least 10, will obliterate basically everything in their path, but alone theyre not too menacing to anything other than vils.

Any Scrin unit from C&C Tiberium Wars, because that faction was overpowered.

ryathal, do gaming w What is the most terrifying RTS game unit to be up against?

Something in 40k universe probably. Tyranid or demon units would probably be my top choice for worst. Necrons are literal terminators too.

secondaccountlemmy, do games w I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but …

The exploration and physics IS the game. You kinda do the objectives along the way.

It really helps that you follow the road though and turning off the UI. I dont think this is for you though of you got frustrated by the weather. The old man teaches you to cook and make a fire.
