This site has discussions, even though its membership has largely dried up over the last 18 months or so. You just have to give yourself time for people to get to know you. You've been here for only 4 days.

That's the thing. What do you think made the membership dry up so much? Would this be a good place to post any mod videos if not where? I want to show off some of the key differences between the original BOTW and Relics of the Past as YT's version has to have 2 hour long videos of guy's commentary and I want to change that by showing smaller segments. For example I want to show off the optional scavenger hunt where to find the Giant Ancient Cores and the challenges they pose.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I think we've had a problem with trolls and shills, which is mostly resolved now.

"This site has discussions, even though its membership has largely dried up over the last 18 months or so" You don't even remember what you just said? Geez who is the one on drugs here?

That. Gibberish. WTF are you talking about.

BOTW Relics of the Past is a much harder and welcome relief mod of BOTW. What's gibberish about that?

There's only like 2 channels that do it but they have very long gameplay footages so if you just want to see what changed you have to shift thru a bunch of shit to get to the meat of it.

OK so now we've advanced to the point where I finally know you are talking about GAMES. I'm a gamer too, yet I still have no idea what you are talking about.

I just said it's a mod that patches over Breath of the Wild and IMHO it should've been standard all along/ Here's a blind playthru. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haiQoSIPIP8 The reactions are funny and so far he isn't naughty which helps too.

What's Breath of the wild?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It only sold the most copies like ever! It charted number one for a damn long time due to the number of things players discovered with the physics engine for YEARS after the game got abandoned by Nintendo. I think it sold overseas even longer!!! The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been a sales monster since it released last year. It sold just about ten million units worldwide in early 2018, smashing records and making BotW the best selling Zelda game if you don't count remasters (we all love shiny updates to our old titles, after all).

As for what it is about Arlo (The cookie monster dude who reviews titles) has the best hands down review out of all of them as most mumble or never get to the point of the review. His 'Big Fat Review' covers all the aspects including for those who may have played previous Zelda titles explaining why it went the way it did in contras the the hand holding earlier titles. (cough) Skyward Sword (cough cough). Thankfully Skyward Sword HD fixed some of the annoying issues that plauged the Wii version but it still has empty skies to fly around in.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYe78NiOU3oJucBBuS3s7Z5NYrx3scsPK This is a playlist of the big fat review video broken into different parts due to length. Even if I didn't care about the game nor Zelda it would still be a very interesting video.

BOTW is a VERY interesting history to it especially considering Satori Iotwa the brains behind Nintend of the time died halfway thru causing a special horse to be placed in his honor and an NPC that looks like him. You can only go to the horse at night if your good enough you can even ride him but you can't keep him. Believe me I tried to register it and the reaction of the stable master was priceless!

Also YOUR the one advancing enough to figure it out. I guess the drugs must've wore off. Almost everybody knows you can mod BOTW.

No, some of us, EVEN A 40+ YEAR GAMER LIKE MYSELF, have no idea what that BOTW acronym means.

Interesting, isn't it?

Weird considering it sold the most copies ever and even got decent mods including some full length dungeons that were never in the game. The modders stitched a bunch of Shrines together created some rather interesting full dungeons for that experience you never got to have. The first mod was a Sky Dungeon. Shrines are generally short but often clever puzzles to solve. I hate the ones that require motion controls so I skip them. Note in Skyward Sword you cannot skip nothing which is why BOTW got praised so well.

I don't get why BOTW fans never post online their discoveries outside of niche circles. Believe me when I say there's a damn lot to discover! I never could get into the other games as they are too dark and violent. BOTW still has some of the 'sadness' but also that cute Nintendo charm is still there at the same time. I really hope BOTW2 fixes some of the major glares (lack of proper dungeons) but not break what makes it work.

Skyward Sword however wins hands down for the music department which BOTW fails at though the few pieces we get BOTW does a damn good job but some of it got a much needed facelift in the spin off Age of Calamity by Komi Techno. The reused pieces sound so much fuller in this game which makes me mad Nintendo keeps playing stupid mind games regarding the sequel that seems to keep being delayed. From the trailers it makes me wonder how little they are actually worked on it.

BOTW was also both for the Wii U and Switch. Yeah the Wii U you know that console almost nobody had. Nintendo Pee U.
