How many hours did you all spend in TOTK? - Blåhaj Lemmy

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’m at like 70 or 80 played and Gerudo town isn’t saved yet. Work + loads of things make it so I game a lot less than I want.
At least you’ll savour the time you get to actually game I guess…?
160 hours! I loved it! I wanna go back at some point to finish levelling up all the armours
@R00bot I have 120 hours and 50% completion when I decided to fight Ganon. Still a lot of content left I haven't done, including major sections of the depths unexplored.
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.

@slimerancher

@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’m still playing the game, I haven’t completed the game yet and I spent more than 110 hours
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 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.

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.

@didnt_readit

@R00bot @postscarce

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.

Quit after 10 hours.

Great fuck around in engineering simulator.

Terrible terrible actual game.

Did you enjoy BOTW?
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.
I've sunk like 290~ hours so far into it (although some of it is definitely being AFK).
Have all Quests, all Caves, Lightroots and am sitting at 95% map completion. Planning to get the 100% before my Hero's Path is full.
Not sure if I grind out the last few remaining things that don't count towards the map percentage completion (beating every boss encounter everywhere, upgrading every armor to max).
What do you mean “did” lol

145 hours and I finished at 70ish% map completion.

I did all the shrines and light roots, finished all of the side adventures, and upgraded most of the armour.

I'm on about 30 hours. I'm still playing but I checked out mentally after the conclusion of the Goron main quest. Why should I give time and attention to the story when there's barely any effort put into the narrative and characters? Even worse is when the story treats you like a child. I get it's supposed to appeal to all including younger audiences but surely there's a way to do that while making it genuinely interesting as an adult.

The side quests are ok. The exploration isn't cutting it for me because I've already played BOTW, and the novelty of the world has worn off with that. The sky islands and depths, while cool at first, simply isn't even enough. The copy-pasted sky islands are egregious considering how little of them there are. When travelling to a destination, it's almost never worth dropping down to check something out.

The new abilities are way better, but again after 10-15 hours it isn't enough. There's only so many puzzles involving building something before it becomes tedious because that ability is used EVERYWHERE. The fuse ability rarely makes a difference with its unique attributes it gives to weapons, most of the time being used to just increase damage. You end up just hoarding weapons, then when its time, drop a bunch of materials with the highest fuse power, fuse, use weapons and repeat. It would be the same if all weapons was just buffed and remove the need for that part.

I'm a bit annoyed that the shrine system hasn't been improved upon or reformed at all. It sucks going into a shrine always knowing what reward you'll get. Rewards are always equal, but not all shrines are equal. For the shrines where the reward is just finding/unlocking them, why do I still have to go INTO the shrine? Just give me the spirit orb. It's also great stumbling across a tutorial shrine that teaches you how to parry when I'm 20 hours in.

The new divine dungeons have better bosses, but the dungeones themselves are essentially 5 mini shrines in one with a reward worth less than 5 shrines.

Really disappointing compared to my first 15 hours of BOTW. An upside is I'm not playing on the Switch's hardware.

It just seems like this game isn’t for you, and there is nothing wrong with that. Games are entertainment, and if one isn’t entertaining for you, you don’t have to force yourself to play it.

Hope you find a game that you enjoy as much as we are enjoying TotK! Good luck!

Snide much 🙄

Na, it was meant to be a good wish. I want people to enjoy the games. My apologies if my wording made you feel otherwise.
Asking in the past tense is making some assumptions.
Exactly what I was thinking lmao
115 hours, just notched the win yesterday (Happy Independence Day, Hyrule). Did all the main quest, cleared all the lightroots, but not all shrines yet. I have a lot more couch time coming up this week with a medical procedure tomorrow, so I’m planning on spending a lot of time cleaning up shrines, finishing side quests, etc. YOUR HAT WILL BE MINE, CECE.

245 hours and counting - though slowed down a lot lately.

I did all main quests, side adventures, shrines, and lightroots, and have been focusing on armor upgrades and side quests mostly now.

@R00bot I have played it 250 hours by now. All bullfrogs and wells, all shrines and light roots. I spent the last ~20 hours defeating every boss enemy at least once and I’m left only with the final battle. I do not want the game to end.
Like 6. It’s not that I didn’t like it. I really did. It’s just so daunting. I never felt like I was accomplishing anything. And I know that people really enjoy just wandering around and experiencing that game, but, for me, it was just too meandering, too open. Plus, I thought the building was more tedious than cool. Again, I get why people enjoy it so much, but it just wasn’t what I wanted to play at that point in time.
I just started the other day, so about 4. 😋 Just got to the Temple of Time, so assuming I’m about to leave tutorial island.

200 hrs

I already beat the game and finished all main quests.

  • 152 shrines
  • 115 Light roots
  • about 365 golden poops
  • 19 sage wills.
  • about 10 gears missing (this is a guess based on those thay I am missing to complete a set)
  • i still have a lot of side quests I didn’t complete.
  • 17 wells to go
  • i have 42 bubbul gems after getting the gear. I don’t know how many I still need to find.
155 hours, just missing the Gerudo Temple to finish the main story and 3 areas to unlock the whole map.
I’ve got ~60 by now. Though I havn’t really touched it in a few weeks. Maybe I should finish it…

255 hours for around 76% completion

That’s for all shrines, gems, wells, sage wills, and bag slots unlocked. I guess there’s a pretty hefty weighting to the rest of the Koroks?

Yeah, the koroks are always really heavy weight. I think I left off with around 65%, and I had done most side quests, got all shrines + sages wills, and only about 100 koroks. I just can’t find it in me to go for the koroks knowing what the reward is.
185 hours, 68%. I’d love to keep going, but at the same time I’ve mostly run out of things in game that I feel like completing.
I’m like 40 hours in, did all the temples and now am searching for tears. Kind of slowed down on the game though, still struggle with lynels and ain’t touching no gleeoks for a while, haha.
