RIPPA Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Okay - the Zelda chit-chat is outbreaking across multiple threads so it is probably time it has it's own thread Here is something to start you off with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 10/10 from GameCentral, not many games get the high score from them. GameCentral also say it's the best Zelda and maybe the best game ever: http://metro.co.uk/2017/03/02/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review-best-of-the-best-6483294/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Well, holy crapola that's high praise for this. As if we weren't excited enough to play this. Oh, the places we'll go...with Breath of the Wild in hand. And on top of that I get out of work early tomorrow so between that and the weekend there's ample time to dive into this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah, Kotaku says that Breath Of The Wild is on track to be the best reviewed game ever made and with good reason. The creators of Zelda didn't just break the mold for this new game; they pretty much tossed it into the garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If you aren't at least a bit curious about this game then you are a complete fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it looks like Aonuma played Red Dead and GTA and Skyrim and then figured out how to infuse Zelda with elements of each of those games. Which doesn't take away from Aonuma's brilliance, mind you. He is dragging Nintendo's game design into the 21st Century and making insta-classics while he does it.

Goddamnit why can't there be a Pikmin or Animal Crossing release game so I could talk the lady into us getting a Switch tomorrow?? All the perfect scores in fun visual form: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I watched Gothalion play some of this on Twitch at lunch. I don't have the Zelda love of some, but my God if this thing doesn't look magical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That image above has me in complete awe. When it comes to reviews there's always that one site that will try and be "that guy" and not give it the score it deserves. Looking at the sites in that a lot of them had moments of being "that guy" But for them all to give it perfect scores? Holy moly, what kind of magically wonderful game are we getting here? Well-done, Nintendo, well F'n done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 So, initial impressions: Spoiler The combat has a real nice balance and fluidity to it. The world is stunning even on the Wii U (though there are a few frame rate drops). I'm a happy camper. Link pulling off a stealth kill and critical headshots with bow and arrow is pretty surprising and neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Watched the Giant Bomb Quick Look when it got posted and, after looking to see if there were any major hiccups being reported on the WiiU version, bought it yesterday. Put around 90 minutes into it and had to quit, fearing that I'd stay up all night. It has the hooks of something like Skyrim for me, with the added bonus of Nintendo polish and an art style that just resonates more with me. I'll be pumping a lot of time into this one.

assfax Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Alright, about 12 hours in I had to look up that I could move the mammoth's trunk. I was stuck as hell and didn't realize that that was something I could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Welp, this is my life now. I haven't binged a game this hard in ages. Once I had some freedom I just started flying around like a fool, finding overworld bosses I'm barely equipped for and cooking strange dishes just because and I even have a HORSE named DUMP-A-LING. Gaming has peaked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Pretty much been putting all my free time into this. It really is one of the best and needs to be played. I spent a lot of the time after doing the initial little quest to unlock free roam just finding all of the towers to see how truly gigantic the map is. So many little things you'll find roaming.

Death From Above Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have yet to hear a negative review of this game even from people that specialize in saying contrarian things for attention. Paging Big Fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 This game is fucking horrible, I can't believe anyone would like this trash, it's just a rip-off of Yakuza 6 mixed with GTA 5 mixed with Disgaea 4 mixed with Typing of the Dead mixed with the Cho-Aniki series! Now, if only I could play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have no beef with Fresh and as far as I know, he doesn't have one with me. I just think it is funny that he doesn't realize that I save my ridicule for the people I give a shit about and don't really say anything to the people I don't. When I make fun of him, it is actually a ringing endorsement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
