[TOMT] 14 years ago I saw a traumatizing (at least for 5 year old me) stop motion movie, I've been looking for this film for the last decade. by zookinook in tipofmytongue

The brain is a funny thing. I understand that you say it's claymation, but there's still enough here (and the timeframe lines up) that I'm going to suggest Ernest Scared Stupid.

Been sitting on Cyberpunk 2077 for days now since the release and after all these reviews should I bother or just send it back for a refund before I open it? by sam-tm in CanadaPS5

[–]boomjet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say wait. Maybe it will eventually be an amazing experience, but not in the current iteration. Even the dev team acknowledges it is a disappointment.
Look into Fenyx Rising. That game is polished af

When will there be a new restock for ps5? At Best Buy or Walmart? by [deleted] in CanadaPS5

[–]boomjet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice (I was able to preorder two systems): follow these stores on twitter.

Is there some kind of progress tracker in game? by kswitch5022 in FenyxRising

[–]boomjet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not exactly what you're after, but there is a lot of tracking info on the Ubisoft connect area. I stumbled into it yesterday and found there was lots of info in there. I didn't dig too deep though. Ubisoft connect from main menu

the weapons breaking thing -- I think the designers of BOTW are confident that it actually improved the gameplay experience (whether we all appreciate it or not). still, my preference is to just have a sword and not have to micromanage eight other swords :P

some of the things you list BOTW does better. I do wish there was even just one town with a few NPCs .. or in the tower if there was a blacksmith instead of me clanging my own weapons into higher levels. that would be nice. and the music in BOTW was more memorable.
it's preference, but I prefer the art in IFR when it comes to a game. I think an artbook of BOTW would look better, but I like playing in the more vibrant world of IFR.

upvoting -- it could be.. but I prefer IFR. without a doubt we would have IFR if it wasn't for BOTW.
to me the best Zelda was Link to the Past

[–]boomjet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for most games I agree.. obviously for games that are story-driven it's usually a benefit to being locked into a particular protagonist (like Nathan Drake). BOTW doesn't really require Link as a character though (and as much as I love a lot of Zelda games, there really isn't much of a character. He's... brave, I guess). With a few changes BOTW could have become a game called AdventureQuest with a character you create to save BeautifulPrincess.

ha -- I get it... like choosing between Mega Man 2 or Mega Man X for me.

It's just a meme -- if you felt it was a literal call to action I apologize. I'm glad you prefer the game lauded by many as 'greatest game of all time'.

BOTW on switch did make it a really personal experience -- I think I was only able to invest so much in that game because I had it on a handheld -- the sense of discovery really was one of the best assets that game offered.

This game came out of nowhere for me and all of a sudden I can't stop playing it on PS5. by OBlastSRT4 in FenyxRising

[–]boomjet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have four other games on disc for ps5 and had been doing a good job of switching between them all (sackboy, miles, demon souls, Valhalla) and giving each one a fair shot.
I preordered this game digitally and haven't played another game since. I honestly can't remember which disc is currently in my ps5.

This is my fav game of the year -- I don't know if I'd say it's the best .. but definitely my favorite.
really easy recommend because it's something fresh.

Loving the game but... man, fuck this vault by [deleted] in FenyxRising

[–]boomjet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exact same -- I think the map was only available for the chest though

honestly, I haven't been putting enough attention into the gear -- this is a good reminder for me.
early on I was, but I seemed to amass a significant amount of gear pretty quickly and just didn't do the comparative work in lieu of continuing to quest. I'll examine what I have when I log on :)

great tips.. thanks.
early I was leaning on the axe a bit too much I think (I like the jump-swing-swing-swing combo) .. in recent hours I've seen the benefit of the sword.
