hey, soul calibur 6 is pretty cool i guess
I'd expect you to hate everything about Soulcalibur.

like the games, hate the female character designs

Few thoughts

GTFO has to have the stupidest title I've ever seen but something I really want to see more of

Dunno how Zelda was even nominated for best art considering they've basically done the same style thing for the last few installments. Did anyone think anything BUT Cuphead would win it?

Guy freaked out on crack flipping off the camera was fun

The orchestra was incredibly weak and the standout was cute Asian cello lady

Soul Caliber 6 is something to look forward to. Hopefully the developers don't pull another retarded move and not include classic characters

Hideo Kojima's new title was fun to watch, but we still know literally nothing about the game aside from NORMAN REEDUS because video games need Hollywood actors to somehow validate themselves. All that said, it makes me really not feel any """"hype"""", but I do want some actual concrte information for once. I am guessing it's not going to be around until 2020. Also, people suck Kojima's dick way too much. Do I have to touch him to get that effect?

P.S. Who wants to play Rocket League and go get McDonalds via the delivery app?

well yes but

Honestly

Breath of the Wild

Skyward Sword

Twilight Princess

they have their similarities, but to say they're all "basically the same style" is just... not correct, and they all have fairly apparent distinctions

botw's cel-shading is very strong, but the colors are bright and washed out, and the models are stylized like anime to the point of looking almost like a makoto shinkai film

skyward sword's cel-shading is lighter, and the colors, while highly saturated, aren't as washed out as they are in botw. the models are also have more detail, eschewing the cartoony look for a bit more realism

twilight princess is perhaps the most distinct, with its gritty color palette, lighting that ranges from super realistic to high fantasy in twilight, moody character expressions, and further attention to detail, giving it a distinctly "adult" feel that other zelda games do not have

i realize you may not have been 100% serious, but i don't even think they're all that similar to begin with

Luciana · December 09, 2017, 01:50:27 PM

I know, I'm just giving you shit. Though I wasn't lying when I said I'm not really a fan of how the new Zelda looks. Favorite is still Wind Waker me thinks.

Ásgeirr · December 09, 2017, 04:58:40 PM

Well i watched the Death Stranding trailer. Im honestly just excited to see more trailers of it because its the kind of stuff Oats is putting out.

Big Boss · December 09, 2017, 05:43:57 PM

I'm still not interested in Death Stranding

vague shit isn't enough to get me hooked

dont care about anything else, im getting this back

I didn't play many games this year, and while I think BotW was one of the best I played, I find it hard, or disappointing to believe it was the best of 2017. It had a fun sandbox, but the story was almost non-existent and had some significant issues holding back the gameplay. I thought Nier: Automata in particular succeeded in making a uniquely powerful story with solid gameplay mechanics, and for that reason it should've won.

nonexistent story is just how i like my zelda anyway

the problem is how they advertised it—none of us knew that all those cutscenes we saw in the trailers were relegated exclusively to just loosely connected memories of stuff that happened 100 years ago, and i can see why some people would be bothered by that

it worked for me because i simply don't allow trailers to color my perception or expectations anymore, which is also why i can't bring it to myself to hate games like no man's sky, even though the internet says that i have to

It's partially that, but I also don't mind when the series uses the story as a justification for the gameplay, but previous titles have done just that while still advancing the "legend" of Zelda in a meaningful way. BotW presented itself, in advertising and in - game, as a landmark in the series' story with cutscenes and voice acting, when it was probably the most vanilla story the series has had since Ocarina.

That said it was easily ~~the best~~ my favorite Nintendo game in a long time, and I'm glad Odyssey followed so closely in quality.
