Chindie Posted December 18, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2017 A heads up for those looking forward to Zelda. It is truly fantastic. One of those genre changing games in many ways. But be ready for a very different Zelda. It bins the format entirely really and is a very different game that will try it's best in your first few hours to put you off it, being quite difficult initially and with some annoying systems in play and no obvious directions to head in and minimal plot to guide you. But once you find your feet with it there's not really been much like it. It's Zelda crossed with a survival game crossed with a tiny little bit of Dark Souls and chucked into one of the most open open worlds ever. It's incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zelda format was always a bit samey anyway so it probably needed a shakeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but i think you get two so works out £35 each which is pretty standard these days. Think he is getting me those neon yellow ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah one controller and one grip. You can use half each for mario kart so can still have two players. But they are really small so it's a bit awkward. perfectly playable, but would be much more comfortable to have two proper controllers. Not sure other games are compatible with half a controller each for multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 18, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2017 The right controller is particularly awkward to use because of the stick placement if you use the half controller each set up. Also the grip thing is literally that. It doesn't do anything else. If you want to charge the controllers in that configuration you need to buy a grip that charges them. And the Pro controller is daft money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 In what way is it genre changing? It's well polished, but in my ten or so hours in the game, it doesn't seem to bring anything to the table that wasn't done years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 And the reason I only have ten hours in it is that I was too bored to continue and let my mate have his switch back I'm clearly in the vast minority, but I don't see what the fuss is about.

I haven’t found that to be honest. For me the only really awkward thing is using the shoulder buttons. They are tiny and quite hard to press in that setup. Again, not an issue for having a laugh with your friends and family. But I wouldn’t fancy doing anything competitive in that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted December 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2017 The Pro controller is well worth it. I'm in for Mario Kart btw, I'll PM you my friend code @Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It basically says to you 'try it' with everything. In some ways forces you to. If you can think of it you can usually try it and usually it'll work. A few of these instantly made me smile, a lot I never noticed until told to try things afterwards. The only thing that really comes close is MGSV but that doesn't have quite the same imagination and sense of exploration to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It is better but it’s way too expensive and I’ve found the cons in the grip as one whole controller perfectly fine so far. Whats the cheapest way to go to get a second complete controller? Two joycons and a grip or pro controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
