Wow, 98 on Metacritic. Not many games hit 90+ anymore.

I mean, it's Zelda. The same thing happened with Skyward Sword, and then people realized how meh the game really was.

Not saying that'll be the case here, but of all games, I'd take the Metacritic scores for Zelda games with the tiniest of salt grains.

If the Switch is having problems though, hate to see what it's like on the Wii U.

Actually, I've heard that the Wii U version runs way better, because it's so optimized for the system.

Maybe not way better, but from what I've seen, I honestly wouldn't be too worried.

is that an ACTUAL spoiler

Nothing related to the story or plot of the game but a (imo) minor lore detail (if what he says is true).

Coco · March 02, 2017, 06:52:18 PM

Not my favorite, but I love the calmness to OoT's Forest Temple:

LBW has an awesome Spirit Temple

And then there's Dragon Roost

But my favorite is probably The Dark World

I've played it about an hour now. Good first impressions. Not disappointed. Finally a game I plan on investing 100+ hours in.

Verbatim · March 02, 2017, 09:29:09 PM

I got my dad all excited for this game now.

We used to play Zelda together when I was little, so if I can get him to enjoy this game too, that would mean the world to me.

We should learn this dance before it's out.

When do you think you'll be able to pick it up?

Verbatim · March 02, 2017, 11:27:40 PM

Got the game. I'm so fucking ready.

Back of the box says Rated E10+ for:
- Fantasy violence (given)
- Suggestive themes (sure)
- Use of alcohol (wha...?)

I want to have sex with this game.

BaconShelf · March 03, 2017, 03:17:29 AM

I don't care about this but I hope you all like it. It's nice to see something release and people be happy with it.

Big Boss · March 03, 2017, 03:35:59 AM

Like fucking really, why does this shit ALWAYS come from Sony fans specifically?

It's really nice to know that you're enjoying this game. I have to say that it looks like one I'd enjoy. I'm still waiting for the game I'm looking forward to, which as of now doesn't even have a release date.

How's the open world? I was really concerned that it would be empty and boring.

Not sure where your standards lie, but I'd use the word "exquisite." It's brimming with life, and while there's not always stuff to do in every inch of it, the atmosphere and sheer attention to detail is breathtaking.

If I had to guess, 3 years of Sony "winning" the console wars means that sony fanboys are scared of any threat to their console, which by and large only did as well not on its own merit but because of how utterly shit the Xbox One was at launch.

Plus what Xbox fans are there? Most of them are now either on PS4 or on PC.

BaconShelf · March 03, 2017, 04:38:21 PM

To be fair that guy who gave Halo 5 a zero seems pretty reasonable :^)

Xboners just want to play games after 3 years of continuously lopsided matchups and mistakes
Nintendrones are too preoccupied with complaining about censorship and trying their damnedest to hype up every announcement
Sonyponies, who have had a decent amount of good games and less of a reason to shill comparably, are way too invested in being on the "winning" side for their own health.

tbh fanboyism is creepy regardless of allegiance. Idorthood is godhood.
