Chat Transcript:
6:54 PMHello Everyone.
7:01 PMso your not liking botw7:02 PMthey are forcing you to do shrines to get more stamina
7:03 PMHey guys!
7:04 PMUse the sheikah slate it will beep as you get near them.
7:06 PMagree, nintendo needs to ad control rebinding
7:06 PMI think it will once you leave the plateau may have to get to hateno village first
7:07 PMhi
7:07 PMHigher elevations are colder too
7:08 PMFish, meat and peppers
7:08 PMthis is a immersive sim, its all interlocking game systems. a decent amount not explained.
7:09 PMIn the south eastern portion of the plateau there is a cabin with a cooking pot.
7:10 PMThe game does not hold your hand at all much of it is expected for you to figure it out on your own.
7:10 PMyou can climb everything in the open world
7:12 PMYou can once you complete the plateau
7:12 PMIt will game over if you drown with little health
7:14 PMyou get to chose between +1 haerts, or +1 stam bar for every 4 shrines
7:14 PMSpirit orbs, shrines and Korok seeds
7:14 PMThis game is all about creating your own adventure
7:17 PMyou can technically fight gannon after you get off the plateau if you want, wouldnt advise it
7:17 PMNo health first
7:17 PMWell he has been dead for 100 years
7:19 PMZelda kept Gannon in check for 100 years
7:19 PMsomeone is
7:20 PMyup zelda has been fighting him for 100 years, while your lazy ass slept.
7:21 PMThere was the Hylian royal army but they are all dead
7:22 PMMore is revealed once you complete the first four shrines and talk to the old man
7:23 PMcrystalis has an awesome cover
7:23 PMI have Chrysalis. I’ve never beaten it.
7:23 PMSome shrines are very straightforward others are head scratchers. Some are combat trials
7:25 PMthe shrines are minni puzzles. also the 4 runes you get are the equivlent to items from past zelda games. you can use them to get around the world
7:25 PMBetter weapons will have higher durability
7:26 PMWhoops. Crystalis, not Chrysalis. I haven’t beaten a changling queen yet either. :p
7:27 PMIt’s infected my auto-correct.
7:27 PMI guess Nintendo likes to be different…
7:29 PMThe easily breakable weapons makes me want to skip this game. :/
7:30 PMsquare really wants people to emulate crono triger dont they?!……… for real a god awful pc port.
7:31 PMI never owned the Gameboy version. I’ve heard of it.
7:31 PMYou can hold left, right, or up on the D-pad to more easily select gear or runes.
7:32 PMI felt that many if not all of the weapons in Zelda were unnecessarily made to break quickly…
7:32 PMplayed the Secret of Mana remake yet?
7:33 PMfirst time, I am a ligit upset at a bad port. they really treat one of the best rpgs of all time like crap.
7:33 PMIt was intentional so you wouldn’t rely on one weapon too much. Though most combat can be skipped if you don’t want to fight.
7:34 PMit was made so you would “switch” weapons xD
7:35 PMunderstood
7:36 PMit sucks but the game is still cool though
7:36 PMbetter than expected
7:39 PMshout me out plz it’s my birthday
7:41 PMyes please on warioware for phones
7:41 PMlol Andrew
7:41 PMhe could rap then? lol…
7:41 PMthe flu in CA?! j/k I know climate does not matter
7:44 PMNintendo tapping into the furry demographic
7:46 PMthe dark souls amiibo has the “best” functionality.
7:46 PMIce T would be best for detective pikachu
7:47 PMSHAUN!!!
7:48 PMPicachu ala Carmen Sandiego play style?…
7:48 PMAndrew would be great at that pikachu voice
7:49 PM+17 years andrew, alot of new people.
7:49 PMDarth Andrew should be the next Bat Man…
7:49 PMWe need another Year of Luigi
7:51 PMgata water that 3ds crop
7:51 PMAndrew i’ve been away for a while did you end up getting a Pro Controller for Zelda and other games.
7:51 PMCan always try the demo
7:52 PMCome on Buff Dedede is all the justification you need.
7:54 PMThat clay Kirby game would be perfect for the switch
7:54 PMStarted on ps2.
7:55 PMThe upcoming Smash for Switch will be my first Smash ever. Looking forward to it!
7:55 PMthe wiiu was a Doa system though
7:56 PMsome people are good at drawing and some aint…
7:57 PMThat is part of the reason why the Wii u didn’t sell. Games didn’t come to it.
7:57 PMandrew i luv u
7:58 PMDo you think because Crash baadicoot is coming to the switch we could have him in Smash?
7:59 PMGameStop has it listed at 49.99
7:59 PM39.99 for 3ds
7:59 PMI used to think Crash was inspired by the Tazmanian Devil cartoon…
8:02 PMI though they were gunna rename it to ff (insert random subtitle here), glad they did not do it.
8:02 PMThoughts of Bayonetta? I’ll be Buying 1 and 2 to see if i like it. What do you think of the game?
8:05 PMI love Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.
8:06 PMBayonetta 2 still sold around 1 million
8:06 PMi think video game companies under estimate north American RPG fans…
8:07 PMThat’s awesome!!!
8:07 PMBayonetta 1 only sold about 2 million on PS3/360
8:07 PMthe only jrpg serries I think does sell way less than it deserves, are the Trails games
8:07 PMMax level FTW!
8:08 PMnote I said Trails, not Tales
8:09 PMMonster Hunter World on the switch possible?
8:09 PMno way on gods green earth can the switch run mh worlds
8:09 PMiron galaxy
8:09 PMThe company that brought Skyrim to Switch (i think) wants to port it.
8:10 PMmuch lower
8:10 PMsound like that Dev wanted publicity…
8:10 PMThey got doom on the switch
8:11 PMthe have monster hunter. double cross in japn
8:11 PMbut did Doom had blades of grass?…
8:12 PMI’m joking…
8:12 PMthat praise the sun amiibo is “best” amiibo
8:12 PMDo you think Nintendo might go the same route as Sony and Microsoft in the fact that they went for the more powerful consoles such as ps4 pro and Xbox One S and X. Switch pro maybe or something?
8:12 PMits “best” amiibo andrew
8:13 PMi wonder what the Amiibo thingy from the Mario cereal does…
8:13 PMand its the most dark souls thing they could do
8:13 PMPossibly but wouldn’t expect it anytime soon.
8:14 PMremember that role playing type tennis game on the Turbo Graphix 16?…
8:15 PMFriends… I simply cannot believe it’s already time again for the next exciting installment of The Molehill Mountain Show episode 89 with Andrew Eisen and friend ❤
