Fuck the KCD2 Devs, another 20gig patch just to hot fix the last 50gig patch they put out. I wanted to get into this game at some point this year when I feel the mood for it strike but I can't leave it installed now cause my ISP will throttle me, since I bought it they have now needed 170 gigs of download after the initial 80 gig file, or at least I assume it was 80 gig, I can't remember. That's 250 gigs. Fuck 'em. I get 250 gigs on my unlimited plan in the contract small print and they don't say it but imply after I use that ammount they'll throttle. I have to either play KCD2 now and hope for no more updates or uninstall it until they have all DLC out and I know where uninstalling games leads, I likely won't ever download it again. Fucking pity. I download this patch and what's to say next week they won't have a 30 gig patch. They must not understand how the code in their own game is working, probably held up by hopes and dreams.

Explore and experiment. Following the objective beat for beat isn't going to excite much. Exploring with the high-risk high high-reward. As soon as I left the plateau, I went straight to the castle, found my way in the basement, fought a tough boss with such bad weapons and low health, but I won and got the Hylian Shield. I left soon after lol. But that's the beauty of the game. Not to mention experimenting with things. Shooting a pond of water with an electric arrow, and the fish all die. I shot a fire arrow to an animal and they became cooked meat. Shrines can be solved in the way it wants but also experimenting can be fun. One puzzle wanted me to link some conductive things but it was annoying me so I just dropped all my metal weapons in a line, and it carried the current to solve the puzzle. Cold areas I equipped a fire sword and kept myself warm. Same with an ice weapon in warm areas. I once threw a damaged sword at an octorok and it spit it back out brand new lol. Explore and experiment and challenge your imagination. There are a lot of hidden things the game will never tell you about.

I'm guessing you arent getting a Switch 2? I'm planning to my do my 2nd playthrough (first time of the Switch version) for Zelda BotW but on the Switch 2.

I last played BotW back in 2017 on the WiiU, one of the best games I've played.

Clocked 85 hours and ironically played through the first 30 hours just exploring the world without doing anything story stuff, I wanted to cover/unlock the entire map and then do the story....ironically I didnt realize I could buy armor so I played my first 30 hours of the game with the default clothes you get in the beginning....using potions to beat the cold and heat and traps/strategic tactics to kill world map enemies lmao.

I was dumbfounded when I discovered armor in the towns.....

Not gonna make that same mistake but it was a Dark Souls experience for me when I played BotW lmao.

Havent updated in a while but havent really played anything on my PS5 last few days because my A/C unit was busted cause of its coil broke down (I paid $2,300 to get it replaced a year ago and it didnt last a year...thankfully due to being within warranty even for the labor, didnt have to pay anything, got it fixed yesterday lol).

Thankfully we have two A/C units at my home (one for upstairs and one for downstairs), the upstairs one was busted so I stayed downstairs the last few days (which is why I havent been online until today lol).

I didnt want to overheat my PS5 or my devices so I opted out of playing anything.

I did however play DBZ Kakarot at work during my break times and am near the end of the base game's story.

Smart move. 

I'm sorry Legit, but I'm not super vibing with Clair Obscur right now.

It's still entertaining enough to keep me playing, though, so maybe I'll change my mind after I beat it.

Robocop. Who would have guessed a small team can make a more enjoyable shooter than the more recent call of duty games.

Also enjoying neva . 

Robocop is so good, but that is an easy guess when you play stuff like Boltgun. Prodeus. Turbo Overkill. Indies & small studios are killing it at the FPS right now.

I've mainly been exploring. Kakariko is the first beat of the objective since leaving the Plateau, and I didn't go there until 20+ hours in, I believe. Although I misspoke a bit. I didn't go to Hateno to see if I could progress the story. Because I didn't know it was part of the main story until I saw Purah. Or rather, seeing the observatory made me think it might be.

In Elden Ring you can do the main story/main bosses in the order you want, or even skip them, with very few exceptions. So I wondered if I could do the same in BOTW, despite previously being told that my next stop should be Kakariko. But Purah told me I had to go there first.

I actually found the Hylian Shield in Hyrule Castle yesterday as wel.
And I found the Master Sword. Although I can't get it yet because of I only have 4 hearts.

Next up I'm going to get the rupee's needed to buy my house so I can store 3 weapons.
The inventory system is rough for a player like me that wants to collect and keep cool weapons rather than lose them, and find a new one. So all my Korok upgrades have been for the weapons inventory, except 1 for the shield and 1 for the bows.

I think I'll start getting Hearts now as well instead of Stamina, since I think I'm in a good spot stamina-wise for now.

I tried to upgrade the Fierce Deity set, but I'm missing some materials from dragons. Apparently I need to set them free first, which I decided not to look up, but see if I can stumble upon them myself first. So I'll be rocking base defense for a while.

There's also a bunch of DLC missions I can do. I already found Majora's Mask, which is cool.

I don't plan on getting Switch 2 anytime soon. But maybe in the future if there are some games I'm interested in.

I did see that you can buy armor in shops, but I haven't spent any rupees yet because I'm saving up for a house. Once I've done that I'll go buy the Sheikah set.
I am aware of one ability that you get from a story boss, and I would like to get it soon as I think it would make exploring more fun. The wind one.

Robocop is pretty good but I wouldn't call the gunplay mechanics great, they're good for what it is though, very weighty and punchy.
