Everything Video Games!

I'm playing Breath of the Wild and have realized I really hate the Switch controller. I see they sell adapters to use GameCube controllers (though maybe only for Smash Bros.?), which to me is the best controller ever designed, and there seem to be some third-party options as well. I know the actual GameCube controller doesn't have a left-side Z button and you can't push in the C-stick, but anyone know if there is any way to play Zelda with a GameCube-style controller?

Assuming you mean the joy-cons, you should try the Pro controller 🎮

Nice to see others playing/re-playing Botw also, lol. ToTK can’t arrive soon enough.

I'm still very slowly plodding through Metroid Prime Remastered. I never finished BotW, despite owning it for both Wii U and Switch, and wanted to finally play through BotW before TotK, but I don't think with my play style that I'd finish BotW before TotK releases (which I have pre-ordered).

now, I don't HAVE to play TotK day 1 if I really want to play through BotW, but also don't want to feel Zelda fatigue, if such a thing is possible, playing them both back to back.

I don't know. any thoughts? I know there isn't much story in BotW and that can be summed up in a quick YouTube video, but what's the fun in that?

Idk, Breath of the Wild is great, and worth experiencing to the fullest extent imo. TotK may add quality of life improvements/new features that may make it harder to go back if you play that one first. The story in BotW is a distant second to the gameplay, and I'm imagining TotK will be the same (but who knows really), so it probably won't be a big deal taking time to finish (or at least play to your heart's content, it can really go on forever) BotW first.

+1 to @ayayrawn point of having context and experience of the first game going into ToTK. It definitely seems like several characters are coming back in the sequel so might be good to have the background on them.

Totally hear you on the fatigue perspective, as BoTW is sooooo much fun to just roam around. I’d say give it a play, you won’t be disappointed and ToTK will be there waiting.
 
Been a while since I posted a Binding of Isaac update, so here goes! I've hit the "skill issue" wall in my completion journey with the tainted characters. Excluding greedier with everyone, I only need most thing with Tainted Lost and Jacob, a couple things with Tainted Blue Baby, and Delirium with Tainted Eden. Tainted lost is the most BS character in the whole game. I swear the crank up the weird physics and change shot patterns specifically for that charater, because I've had more stupid, out my control deaths than I can count. The 10% holy card chance and better items are straight up lies (like all other percentage chances in that game). Tainted Jacob I recognize is on me, most deaths are from making dumb mistakes and accidentally hitting Esau, or taking too much damage avoiding him.

Hopefully this rant wasn't TOO negative, I still love the game, but I'm in a bit of a rut (not the first time).
 
Glad there's gonna be another beta weekend for Diablo 4.

Odd they picked right when Zelda releases.

I have to say I am enjoying myself with Diablo 3 again. I never really liked the grind, but this season 28 is pretty fun. There's some grinding to get the Alter tree finished, but I like pushing the Greater Rifts...I think I just finished a 105. My build could be a bit better and I'm not even at 900 paragon, and haven't augmented any gear.
 
I finally beat Fume Knight in the DS2 DLC 🙌



Easily the hardest boss in any of the DS games I've played so far. However in DS3, I gave up after about 30 tries of Darkeater Midir because they were an optional boss. Midir is just a long, long boss fight and I had beaten the game before facing him, so I didn't feel like trying too hard to beat it after a while.

For Fume Knight I didn't think it was ever going to happen. I kept wasting human effigies to use the two summons because I did not want to solo him. I eventually had to because I was getting down to bare bones on effigies, plus having two summons increases his health pool. I tried different ring combos, different armor combos, different weapons over and over and over again. I read different reddit threads, watched youtube videos on how to do it. But what eventually worked was as easy as two-handing the Red Iron Twinblades to increase damage. Someone commented that somewhere and I tried it on the next attempt, and sure enough it worked! PITFA but it worked. I haven't felt that relieved, satisfied, cathartis over beating a videogame boss in a long time.
