I never got into BOTW, either. But TOTK is so much better in every way, I got into that just fine.

BOTW is just so bare-bones and not engaging enough.

I bought BotW right when it came out and I’m still not all that much further than you. I’ve come back to it multiple times, but just can’t get into it. I had trouble with the freezing area too. Took me an hour before I finally stumbled across a solution. I’ve gotten a bit further than you, and it just keeps getting more and more over complicated as you go.

I just don’t think the game is fun, personally. But I also don’t think Skyrim is fun. I’m not really into most open world games. I wish they would make us a new one more in the style of Ocarina and Twilight Princess, but it seems like we’re in the minority

A few tips for you:

Cook food. Lots of it. You can sell cooked food (especially meats e.g. rare meats) for crazy amounts of rupees. Use rupees to buy cold weather clothing from the various towns in game, then use that whenever you feel cold (same goes for hot weather, you’ll need hot weather clothes).

Don’t try to go way off into the mountains right to start. Find the shrines close to you, mark them on your map, and go there. Do the same for towns. You can then fast travel via the map around the game world, making things way easier.

Finally, when it comes to weapons, you really can’t get attached to any of them. The Master Sword is the only one that doesn’t break, but it will lose energy and take time to recharge before it can be used again. It’s just part of the game mechanics. While annoying, it does force you to plan out your attacks and consider your resource usage.

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?

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.

An ultralisk was the first thing that I thought of.

CluelessLemmyng,

The Torrasque. When you first encounter them, they’re terrifying.

derekabutton,

Then again a minute later, still very terrifying, and I just lost a shitload of zerglings to it.

Blizzard,

That was my first thought as well but then what about a Battlecruiser or a Carrier?

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.

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

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.

Krogoth - Total Annihilation Core Contingency

It has extremely durable armor, capable of withstanding seven nuclear missiles. Its main weapons are the Gauss cannons mounted on either arm, its secondary weapon is an Annihilator-type laser mounted on its head and its third weapons are two Starburst rocket launchers mounted on its back that are used as effective anti-air weapons. A single Krogoth can destroy a sizable ARM base if it isn’t well defended.

An absolute beast of an RTS unit.

AAA,

TA is just a gem. I like how the base game is pretty moderate unit-wise. And then they just said “fuck it” and added whatever cool shot they (probably always) wanted.

And the soundtrack kicks ass, “March unto death” being my favorite.

Narrrz,

I always felt like the arm got the short end in the expansion. they just never got anything to parallel the krogoth.

their static artillery being shorter range also always hurt them in my vs cpu games. though the vulcan was pretty awesome of you could somehow generate enough energy to sustain its RoF.

@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.

@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

For me, one of the worst experiences is realizing a game I really want to play only supports uninverted

FYI, the steam deck allows you to customize all that shit even if the game doesn’t support what you want.

    Never happens to me, but is that like if a game you’d override outside the game and play inverted it’d be fine 90% of the time but then it doesn’t make any sense in some menus or maybe the map or whatever?

    You have a few options.
    On the deck, just use the joystick for one and the trackpad for the other.
    Or use either mode shifting or action layers (I never remember which is which) so that behavior changes when you hold another button.
    Think kinda like tab vs alt tab, but with like… anything on the controller. Want the joystick the behave differently when holding the left trigger or whatever?

    Shun!!!

    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.
