Nintendo

I'm like 40 hours in, did all the temples and now am searching for tears. Kind of slowed down on the game though, still struggle with lynels and ain't touching no gleeoks for a while, haha.

I started booting up other games again after about 200 hours. Credits hit, all shrines and LRs found and completed, full energy upgrades.

I haven't gotten all the gear but of the gear I got, it's all at least 2-star. I think I'll probably boot it up periodically now and then to run down gear and get mats to get them all upgraded.

I doubt I'll ever care to get all Koroks and true 100% map completion, but given enough time, I suppose it may end up happening regardless. Despite moving on to other games again, it's still quite peaceful and enjoyable in small doses, just like BotW was for me before. I never truly 100%ed the Koroks and map % in that either, but I got pretty far...

Like 6. It's not that I didn't like it. I really did. It's just so daunting. I never felt like I was accomplishing anything. And I know that people really enjoy just wandering around and experiencing that game, but, for me, it was just too meandering, too open. Plus, I thought the building was more tedious than cool. Again, I get why people enjoy it so much, but it just wasn't what I wanted to play at that point in time.

200 hrs

I already beat the game and finished all main quests.

• 152 shrines
• 115 Light roots
• about 365 golden poops
• 19 sage wills.
• about 10 gears missing (this is a guess based on those thay I am missing to complete a set)
• i still have a lot of side quests I didn't complete.
• 17 wells to go
• i have 42 bubbul gems after getting the gear. I don't know how many I still need to find.

40 hours and haven’t saved Rito or Gerudo yet. Just about to go to the Akalla lab. Have been loving the game so far! The increased importance of stables is nice as well

155 hours, just missing the Gerudo Temple to finish the main story and 3 areas to unlock the whole map.

I've been spending my time playing shin megami tensei 3. Totk is next on the list

I haven't bought the game yet because I'm afraid of getting hooked on it..

@R00bot I have 120 hours and 50% completion when I decided to fight Ganon. Still a lot of content left I haven't done, including major sections of the depths unexplored.

It took me over 165h to finish the main quest. I'd need to boot up my game to see my completion percentage, but I sure hope I'm above 70%.

245 hours and counting - though slowed down a lot lately.

I did all main quests, side adventures, shrines, and lightroots, and have been focusing on armor upgrades and side quests mostly now.

Where can I find that out? I've never noticed a playtime clock on the Switch.

Quit after 10 hours.

Great fuck around in engineering simulator.

Terrible terrible actual game.

I got off the tutorial island 1-2 hours ago and was walking around turning area towers on. I’ve tried to enter the caves but I die within 30 seconds any time I try, so I’ve given up until I get more hearts. So far it feels like a mediocre rom hack of breath of the wild to me. I don’t feel like I get anything out of this game that breath of the wild didn’t do significantly better, it’s sloppier and less well considered imo. (Like, why does it have so many explicit unskippable tutorials for things that BOTW already taught me naturally?)

I'm on about 40-50 hours. I'm still playing but I checked out mentally after the conclusion of the Goron main quest. Why should I give time and attention to the story when there's barely any effort put into the narrative and characters? Even worse is when the story treats you like a child. I get it's supposed to appeal to all including younger audiences but surely there's a way to do that while making it genuinely interesting as an adult.

The side quests are ok. The exploration isn't cutting it for me because I've already played BOTW, and the novelty of the world has worn off with that. The sky islands and depths, while cool at first, simply isn't even enough. The copy-pasted sky islands are egregious considering how few of them there are. When travelling to a destination, it's almost never worth dropping down to check something out.

The new abilities are way better, but again after 10-15 hours it isn't enough. There's only so many puzzles involving building something before it becomes tedious because that ability is used EVERYWHERE. The fuse ability rarely makes a difference with its unique attributes it gives to weapons, most of the time being used to just increase damage. You end up just hoarding weapons, then when its time, drop a bunch of materials with the highest fuse power, fuse, use weapons and repeat. It would be the same if all weapons was just buffed and remove the need for that part.

I'm a bit annoyed that the shrine system hasn't been improved upon or reformed at all. It sucks going into a shrine always knowing what reward you'll get. Rewards are always equal, but not all shrines are equal. For the shrines where the reward is just finding/unlocking them, why do I still have to go INTO the shrine? Just give me the spirit orb. It's also great stumbling across a tutorial shrine that teaches you how to parry when I'm 20 hours in.

The new divine dungeons have better bosses, but the dungeones themselves are essentially 5 mini shrines in one with a reward worth less than 5 shrines.

Really disappointing compared to my first 15 hours of BOTW. I'm just glad I'm not playing on the Switch's hardware. It's not necessarily a bad game, not at all, and I'll keep playing it casually... but I'm a bit perplexed at how positive the critical reception has been.
