I had around 150 by the time I completed the game.
Bonus question: what percentage completion do you have?
I’m sitting on 50.5% right now.
I ended off with about 150 hours aswell. I didn’t make a super large push to do absolutely everything before finishing the story, I decided early on that I was saving it for Master Mode. On an unrelated note, it’s a bit of a bummer that Master Mode wasn’t in at launch. I hope they don’t make the enemies regenerate health again though!
I am almost too afraid to ask … Where do you see those stats? Thank you
You see time played in your profile in the switch ui, and you see percentage completed on the map screen after finishing the main quest
Oh ok! Thank you so much!!
I finished the first jump sequence and had to do some errands and I just haven’t been back to the game yet. I figure once I start I’ll sink a lot of time into it but I just… haven’t yet.
Where can I find that out? I’ve never noticed a playtime clock on the Switch.
Click your profile at the top of the home screen, on the right side under your account deets should be all your gameplay hours
If you have less than I think 10 days with a game then it says something other than the total hours I believe
My 75 hours feel such rookie numbers, but I haven’t finished the game yet, so let’s see.
@R00bot most people had only played the game for 75 hours at some point haha.
Haha, so true.
BTW I did a quick search and didn’t see your numbers. 😀
I’ve been spending my time playing shin megami tensei 3. Totk is next on the list
I haven’t bought the game yet because I’m afraid of getting hooked on it…
I’m at about 120 hours, haven’t completed yet, although I probably could at any time starting around 80 hours. I’ve been filling out lightroots and shrines and doing other random side stuff I stumble across.
How do you see completion percentage?
I’m still playing the game, I haven’t completed the game yet and I spent more than 110 hours.
Question: Where can you see your percentage game completion?
Once you complete the main quest it will be visible on the map screen :)
I started booting up other games again after about 200 hours. Credits hit, all shrines and LRs found and completed, full energy upgrades.
I haven’t gotten all the gear but of the gear I got, it’s all at least 2-star. I think I’ll probably boot it up periodically now and then to run down gear and get mats to get them all upgraded.
I doubt I’ll ever care to get all Koroks and true 100% map completion, but given enough time, I suppose it may end up happening regardless. Despite moving on to other games again, it’s still quite peaceful and enjoyable in small doses, just like BotW was for me before. I never truly 100%ed the Koroks and map % in that either, but I got pretty far…
40 hours and haven’t saved Rito or Gerudo yet. Just about to go to the Akalla lab. Have been loving the game so far! The increased importance of stables is nice as well
I’m over 80 hours in and I’m not even close to finishing the main quest. I’ve done 2 of the 4 initial temples, lots of shrines and korok seeds, but taking my time and enjoying every new section of the map. Not in a hurry, I’ve been enjoying other games in between. Plus, if this is anything like BotW, I’ll still be playing it 3 or 4 years from now.
Probably unpopular opinion but I burned out on BOTW before I even beat 2 divine beasts, and felt like I beat all the shrines I could get to without getting one shot by enemies in the area so kind of felt totally stuck… I haven’t even picked up TOTK yet as I figured it would be more of the same.
And they kept that annoying weapon breaking mechanic which I always hated… been getting around to playing BOTW again with mods before moving on to TOTK, but also heard about the pretty awful performance on Switch so will probably buy it but just play on emulator to get a decent frame rate or wait for a Switch 2 and pray for backward compatibility support like PS5 has for PS4 games to get better performance.
TOTK performance on switch is not bad at all. I don’t know where what perception came from. I haven’t experienced any low frame rate issues after 100 hours.
That’s great to hear. I had heard complaints about dips down to like 15fps and just generally being a 30fps game at very low render resolution that still had trouble with stable frame times. But I haven’t actually played it so it could just be the usually internet complaining. Now that I think of it I heard performance complaints about BOTW too but never noticed any while playing myself.
I have for sure ran into performance issues during really demanding sections. I think the honest take is, as a switch game, the resolution and framerate are lower than if this was on Xbox Series X. At the same time, I think it’s high enough that the game still looks great and quite stable. We aren’t talking Pokémon Scarlet type constant frame drops for no reason. Performance issues were very rarely a concern - I think the game is well designed and it truly is something where a significant frame drop won’t happen for multiple play sessions.
BOTW on CEMU with mods is a really fun experience. I’ve been playing it on my Steam Deck, and it’s fantastic.
Sweet, I have a steam deck, so I might do that. I also have an unpatched Switch I could use to play native with mods, and a mod chip sitting at home waiting to be installed in my OLED model to potentially do the same. Either way I think I’m gonna give it a shot with mods and see if I like it more, then move on to TOTK if so.
Quit after 10 hours.
Great fuck around in engineering simulator.
Terrible terrible actual game.
That’s how I felt about BOTW. Great tech demo, not a good Zelda game. I tried 3 times to get into it and couldn’t. Its popularity is still perplexing to me.
Did you enjoy BOTW?
