Beat it. I really enjoyed it, but I'm still really disappointed in the temples even including the questing before you see the 'Soandso Temple' splash. They fixed the weapon problem, the shrines are great, open world quests are a lot more abundant and more interesting, but they just can't make a dungeon to save their lives.

Hopefully will beat this by the weekend. Have off the next two days from work, which I originally took off for Diablo, but gonna hold off on buying that for a month or so 

[madmaltese★ 2,550]

You guys beating it pretty damn quick.

What type of hours yous putting into it?

Probably won't get around to it till after Diablo IV and FFXVI

Agreed. The temples are still the weak point. The game would be near perfect if they rivaled old school Zelda temples.

Definitely, though I still enjoyed the fire and lightning temples. Yeah, they are shorter than the classic ones, but were still well designed.

Big hours. Assuming there's probably still a lot to do if yous wanted.

I don't think they're well designed, at least compared to traditional Zelda dungeons. Your objectives show up on the map and they rarely overlap. You can choose which switch you go after, but it's just a linear set of single room puzzles that don't really hold a candle to what the shrines show the mechanics are capable of. Zelda dungeons are these complex labyrinths with backtracking, mini-bosses, and "events" that just aren't there in TotK.

True. I guess it’s been a minute since I’ve played a classic Zelda. I’ve never found any of their dungeons to be hard, but definitely longer.

One can easily sink 200+ hours into it. 

[Goukosan 2,249]

[Hot Sauce 2,727]

God Sauce  You got the BD-Zelda-E  

[Tears of the Cows 1,206]

So I believe im on the last mission

Spoiler

destroy gannondorf

And I don’t think I’m ready to do it. I mean, powerful enough, but I just want to keep collecting shit. Is it similar to botw where it just takes you back to the last save or is there a true end world?

Yeah, stumbling upon loot that feels late game is a thrill. 

[Tears of the Cows 1,206]

Just got to 90 shrines. Crazy to think there is 60 more.
