Ginko Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Second playthrough for me, this time on the Switch (mate leant me his Wii U first time) and I still love it. I’ve been working through the DLC lately which I did find a bit of a slog at times, but I have my cycle zero now which is fun and will help me locate the last twenty or so shrines. The Master Sword upgrade quest is a ball ache though. Some of those levels are tough without your equipment and it’s straight back to the start if you die. Just did the medium level (the last 5 were much easier than the 5 in the dark before them) but I’m not sure I could do the next upgrade assuming it gets even tougher.

Stevo985 Posted June 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2019 Guys, I'm back! I know you've all missed me. Another huge break but got back into it over the weekend. Cleared all the side quests I had left over (except for the expansion pack ones as some of those are dull) Working my way through central Hyruke and about to finally go into the castle. It's taken me nearly 18 months, but the end is nigh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Really need to start playing this again. Twice now I've got the fleece thing and then given up and started playing From Software titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) 18 months and 150 hours of gameplay down and I finally finished it yesterday Agree with what people have said about the final battle. But didn't take away from the game for me. I'd say it's the best game I've ever played. Best of all time? I don't play enough games these days to say that. But it's certainly the best I've ever played. It's overtaken Ocarina of Time for me. It has its faults but nothing to take much away from the overall game. Still got a few side quests to clean up and finish the game again. I got all the memories, for example, and I think I remember reading in here that that gives you an extra cut scene at the end. So there's some motivation to complete it again. Plus the DLC, but I can't see me completing all of that. But we'll see! Edit: I've had RDR2 sat gathering dust since December and haven't even taken it out of the wrapper yet. I'll finally fire that up over the weekend. So expect a load of posts in that thread that nobody will read, 12 months after everybody else has finished the game.

Stevo985 Posted June 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2019 I was confused when I checked the map and it said I was at 32% complete. So I googled it and it seems most of that is down to Korok seeds. Now I thought I was pretty good at collecting them. I’ve got about 130. Turns out there are 900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? If you don’t mind me asking. Stevo is right. It would still be great, but any gaming experience as complete as this playing this game is has to include sounds.

Stevo985 Posted April 26, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2021 There's also parts of the game where sound is pretty important. You have something that acts as a sort of homing beacon and the beeping of it is how you tell when you are close to whatever it is you're looking for. Again you could still play it without this, but it would make it a lot harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted April 26, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2021 I played it without that because the beeping pissed me off. Maybe I just wasn't using it properly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just wasn't using it properly! You can turn it off or change it to beep for specific things. It's very useful for finding shrines or if you're looking for ingredients or anything specific. Like there's a quest to find grasshoppers or something and it's a doddle when you're using that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Gone back to my second play through, haven’t played it for about 9 months. Still amazing. No other game like it. Wish it had a few more unique looking towns but even as it is it’s one of if not the best game ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yeah I need to go back to it at some point to complete the DLC and then do some of the other stuff like finding all the shrines etc. I genuinely rate it as the best game of all time. It's excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
