Oh hey, nice to find you on a different corner of Lemmy! Thanks for the in-depth review, we need more OC on Lemmy like this. I’ll probably check it out because of you.
Might want to crosspost to !puzzlegames and the much more active !adventuregames which has also decided to include puzzle games, despite its name.
I’ve been playing TotK. (Working on 100%'ing it. I’ve got 52 Korok seeds left to get, and no guides. Probably still have some sidequests to do.)
I miss windbombs so much. The Tulin gust thing is great and all, but it’s really aenemic compared to a good windbomb.
I never got any good at BTBs. Probably why I never tried to speedrun plain old Any%. (I stuck to a couple of individual levels when I was speedrunning. I’m this guy if you’re curious.)
Also, this might be a hot take, but I believe with all my heart that BotW is a “better game” than TotK, but not on purpose. BotW feels kindof unfinished, but I still don’t like TotK anywhere near as much as I like BotW.
I don’t really see myself replaying TotK much. I’ve played BotW like 4 times now (not including speedruns.) And 100%'d it once.
Edit: Oh! Whistle sprinting too! That was the first thing I tried as soon as I started TotK.
It’s definitely speedrun sort of technique. Not in “intended mechanic”, though not technically a “glitch”, arguably. It’s just a consequece of how the physics engine works. It’s also referred to as a “bomb impact launch” or “BIL”.
The short version: You jump off of a ledge, go into bullet time by pulling out your bow, lay one bomb, wait until just the right time, lay your other bomb (both in mid air) just so that your bombs are lined up, detonate the first bomb, pushing the second bomb into Link.
While in bullet time, forces are massively multiplied, so the force of the bomb being pushed into Link exerts a massive amount of force, sending Link flying. It’s a really nice trick for locomoting and widely applicable. But definitely takes a good amount of practice to get decent at.
Oh, also, you can see OP doing a windbomb in the above video. And if you search Youtube, you can find a ton of great guides on how to do windbombs.
There’s something newer called “BLSS” (bomb… link… slide… something… I forget what it stands for, lol) or “Bless” that’s probably a little more powerful/fast. I got out of speedrunning before that was discovered, so I never learned how to do it. I’ll probably learn at some point.
Could be wrong but this does not sound sound outlandish for a alpha. There should be no point to ruin a name/brand before it is out. You should not leave a “review” of a unfinished product.
If the product is unfinished, why is it being released to the public, in any capacity?
If they want to playtest and find bugs in their unfinished product, they should do that. By paying a QA team and playtesters, not by trying to dupe streamers into generating free advertisement.
You have never played an early alpha of a game and signed a NDA to not disclose it I did this with many games the finals, th division heatland, x defient, arc raiders etc. although in this case since there are yt videos and streams seems a little weird. I was uneducated the games I am talking about when I played had watermarks on them and were made for testing etc had no idea the game was like viewable. In this case it looks more like if tarkov or an EA game said you can’t leave reviews.
To clarify yes I fully agree that not ok and didn’t know the full facts.
Hmm… A perfectly neutral review with a share of the wording from the contract is nothing but factual, and I believe could be argued to be non disparaging?
No, disparaging is disparaging, even if it’s warranted. But, if I were a small streamer who got a key, I would just repeat the non-disparagement clause any time I saw something obviously broken.
They can stop me saying anything negative but that doesn’t cover body language (they might try to sue but they wouldn’t ever be able to prove it to the degree required unless I had posted something like this explanation, and even then it’s dicey), and I don’t see anything in there about a minimum number of positive sentences of words to hit. God help these chucklefucks if they ever run into a Djinni or a cursed monkey’s paw.
I mean this game is set in and made by people in Japan, gun culture is very different there. “Impressionable youths” wouldn’t even have access to a gun.
Also, the visual of teens shooting themselves in the head is very much a thematic point, as Japan’s teen suicide rate is very much a systemic issue they were (and are still) grappling with when the story was written.
How would that work? Considering I mean that past studies have always shown that this doesn’t work like that for kids learning things from fictional works.
(nevermind that there’s no way they’d have a gun except in some really ass backwards countries without any gun laws)
I guess that depends on what you mean by fixed. Like No Man’s Sky added shit tons of content. Whereas cyberpunk just kind of stabilised the games performance and made minimal changes to the actual gameplay and content.
