Everything has like a plasticy sheen to it. There's a certain charm that gets lost when you try to take something that was cartoony and make it look "real" I think you end up with the worst of both worlds. It sitll looks cartoony but now it has absolutely no warmth and actually looks more fake than before.

Also hate all the environmental effects, particularly the fog. I don't find it atmophseric I find it annoying.


Bingo. You can’t mesh photorealistic elements with fantastical visual design, you need to pick one and commit. They would’ve been better served with a slightly more modern BOTW look
Guess I’m alone in thinking the visual design is atrocious. It looks like the fan-made Unreal videos from a few years ago that everyone roasted. Kid Link and Zelda faces are objectively awful.

That being said, I’ll be buying a Switch just for this. Looks to be a 1:1 gameplay remake and for a top 5 game all time, that’s enough for me

I wouldn’t call him one of the greatest in terms of raw acting ability, though he does have a bunch of amazing performances

He’s unequivocally the greatest modern movie star though

My god :lol:

Best part is that they never even came CLOSE to a championship
Publishers dictate game prices and decide when things on sale. Storefronts have literally no bearing on prices for games that they don't publish. We all know exactly which titles we can wait for a sale on (like Bethesda) and which ones we'll rarely ever see on sale (like Activision) based on publisher history.

Also, every noteworthy publisher and/or storefront has some form of price parity requirements in place - if a game goes on sale at one storefront, it usually has to go on sale at all of them. Steam also explicitly requires MSRP to be the same on Steam as it is everywhere else. It's why you could buy Doom TDA for $23.09 on Steam, PSN, and Xbox a week ago and sales almost always have perfect parity across all platforms.
Vue was a great service and the best streaming option of its time. Then it got super expensive

Wait till you get to the endgame area. It’s like they ran out of time and money and just spammed copy/paste with elite enemies

Probably 70/30 day night. Night mode is mostly a resource and secret finding thing and isn’t really interesting mechanically. Same enemies, just even spongier. Not trying to make things take longer just for the fun of it :lol:

This game really shows its arse in the second half. Entire southern area is the exact same enemies just with juiced up damage and HP. Dungeons get shorter and lazier. Bosses still suck

I beat the first 3 bosses of the endgame area and have 1 left I think. In the entire game so far, I’ve first-tried all but 4 bosses. Out of those 4, I got 2 on the second try. Really disappointing. And that’s with me spending 0 glimpses on shells. Just using Tiel and abusing parries and dodges

Whoever thinks it’s bi-opic is a fricktard.

“Two”… what? “Eyes?” “Vision?” “Sight?”


Biotic
Bionic
Biopsy

All pronounced similarly, and none of them have to do with 2 of anything.

that’s a bigger leap than changing the phonetic tone of a word bc it rolls off the tongue better


There's plenty of precedent for long letter sounds changing based on whether its a noun or adjective. Myopia becomes myopic. Nation becomes national. Crime becomes criminal.


There are enough similar sounding words that make biopic make sense

Bionic
Biopsy
Biography
Myopic


I realize that I'll be in the minority on this but I would need the hyphen for it to be bio-pic in my head. This also seems to be a regional thing where americans say bio-pic and europeans say bi-opic

It’s short for Biographical Picture, answer is pretty clear


So romantic comedy should be rohm-cahm instead of rahm-cahm? Science fiction should be sye-fih instead of sye-fye?

There are countless examples of portmanteaus that dont retain the exact sounds as the base words.

Why is it bi-ahgraphy instead of bio-graphy?

Bi-ahpic sounds 100x better. Bio-pic sounds like something a 6 year old would read aloud when seeing it the first time.
