i thought the Mines were just ok, not that interesting

(btw the power was out for 8 days where i live, i played all the Capcom Zeldas again, Bluesky is only on my PC)

If you think these dungeons are weak you gotta be one of those guys who hates all 3D zelda dungeons, id easily put most of them (not mines, thats easily the most mid) over OOTs roster

They are on the easy side compared to late game Ages/Seasons, but they got stuff to keep you on your toes, demand active spacial reasoning and even have hidden bombable walls, that one in vatti's hyrule castle actually shocked me, thats sheep lass design

i think its controls hold it back more then they successfully create a well designed simple metroid. it feels both clunky and automatic. i do hope for a new 3d 3rd person at some point.

the story is bad & broken, some might even say weird & misogynist, but by merit of having a story with themes and ideas wins over Prime 4 by default in that regard. its also surprisingly not as obstructive, less so then i remembered. aside from the beginning you are basically always alone

id like to say its obviously better then prime 4, that would be the funniest thing to say, but its got its own comparative flaws and strengths. Other M is consistently mid, with glimmers of ok. Prime4 has peakbelt but its also often far more insulting then anything Other M manages

it could probably be improved a lot with a project 06 type mod, give enemies half hp and double damage, overhauled dodging, but a lot of the level design is unsalvageably mid like Prime 4s, almost reminded me of Lego starwars as a kid, but that game was probably more competent

people were too harsh on you, shitty flamelurker from the Bluepoint Demon's Souls announcement trailer. we didnt know you had more integrity then Larian studios

im a big time invader too, but this is mostly about cooperation. invasions have their own important flavor, but the game dosent need to be harder for their sake, theyve got enough as is

im not dissing the game, just talking about how we talk about genre

to be clear TGA is meaningless. but even at an imaginary good award show "Best RPG" shouldn't even be a catagory, because its completely vibes based, and the only real criteria is having a stats screen somewhere

im not super familiar with 3d gamedev or software development generally, but the physics based interations in both the animations and mechanics of Sotc is really so impressive.
