@pettanko there is a theory that there will be more side quests in the game, there are a lot of NPCs in castle town that have speech bubbles talking about stuff that sounds very side-questy. so if we're going to be getting a decent amount of them, a quest log would be extremely handy.

plus i really like the tapestry thing they have. like, if you complete everything you get 100% of the tapestry filled out. extreme fairy tale vibes, i'm all here for it.

@RehnyNytes256 personally i love the art lol, it looks like a fairy tale and it's so far removed from anything i've ever seen in a game. there is a little bit of inconsistency as far as detail goes between the main characters and side ones, but honestly it's not a huge deal for me.

i played wind waker with double damage and no heart drops like 10 years ago, was really fun.

@RehnyNytes256 i've played oot several times, i know a lot of the little secrets, i watch randomizer runs all the time, etc.
when my roommate was playing, we still had to bring up a guide a few times. we could have gotten to the solution eventually, sure, but when you've got a full time job and you've got limited time to play to begin with like... yeah i'm not going to look around aimlessly for five hours wondering wtf to do lol.
it was really bad when we took a break for a couple months and came back to it. no idea where to go and for some reason navi wouldn't tell us jack shit lol.

i think part of my issue was that the last time i played it was in 2018 and that was master quest, so it was a little bit jumbled. he also did like no side quests at all so we had no fire arrows and no sun song and had to kind of figure out how to do some things differently than how i have always done it.

but you know, there are going to be plenty of people who are playing this game for the very first time. i'd rather have a carefully curated "here's where you should check next" general piece of advice in the menu than people needing to look up a guide, if at all possible.

honestly when you're an adult and don't have a whole lot of time to play games, stuff like that (especially quest recaps) become super invaluable because if you're only playing for an hour a day and it's with all this other stuff happening in your life that you're more worried about... that kind of thing is really nice to have in a game.

i really liked witcher 3's cutscenes that played when you loaded the game to give you the run down on whatever you were doing last time you played. if that shit came out today though there would be some fucking OMEGA GAMER out there saying it was for liberals or some shit.

@pettanko idk man it all feels REALLY performative for me

@pettanko i just saw someone saying they beat it when they were 10 and they couldn't even read english lol

@LukeAlmighty no idea what that is lol

what's with all these people that are so fucking upset that ocarina of time remake has a quest log because "i beat it when i was 8 years old and i never used a guide once." i call BULLSHIT dude. even if that is true, there is something else going on there. they had to ask a friend for help getting through some part, or their dad. maybe it was the only game they had and they just no-lifed it, eventually coming to the solution after playing for hundreds of hours.

it is the least egregious way possible to implement this kind of thing too, as far as i can tell there aren't quest markers it just gives you a little summary on what you've already done and where you should go next. it's basically turning navi's interjection hints into a neat menu.

i think this is people lying to make themselves seem like more professional gamers that are better than the rest of the dumb, retarded gamers out there that need dumb things like guides so they can beat games. there's no way a real gamer has gone their whole life without using a guide, i'm sorry there just isn't. we've all used them at some point.

@SuperSnekFriend it happened to me for a while, and I'm so glad I was able to get off them relatively quickly. 2 years was enough to fuck me up for several more after getting rid of them.

it's interesting, from what i've observed women gamers are usually either into the most surface level, hyper popular games possible... or they are into shit i didn't even know existed. there's no middle ground. there are no women playing AA or indie games. it's either league of legends and overwatch, or a ps1 fmv game that somehow had online connectivity if you brought your memory card to an arcade in japan.

@Kagekokoro @Blue @supersid333 i like this nigga too tbh

@RustyCrab sometimes you just don't got the energy man, like one of my friends is always going off about how you can never be violent because that's not Christian and i just zone out at this point
