That's it, guys. It's time to give up on Nintendo.
It's painful.
I played and completed Ocarina of Time in 1998 at the age of 14.
I loved the game so much that I immediately wanted to know if Nintendo were working on another one. In those days I didn't have Internet, and the only way to get vidya info was by buying magazines but I didn't even want to wait for that.
In my naivety, the very same day I finished OoT, I contacted Nintendo customer support to ask if another Zelda game was coming out. Of course the monkey on the other end of the line didn't know, so I waited, later purchased a Dreamcast and used the dial-up Internet to check for Zelda news every day. Eventually Majora's Mask was announced and I couldn't wait.
What a fucking disappointment. I mean the game was very good, don't get me wrong, but that feeling you got from Ocarina of Time playing it the first time was gone. Maybe the next Zelda game will match the greatness of OoT, I thought to myself.
I waited and waited, purchased the Gamecube, and finally Wind Waker was announced.
>JESUS Nintendo wtf have you done to the visuals
Cel shading. Fucking Celda. Why? I tried to get over my disappointment. Maybe the game will be great. What does it matter if it looks like a cartoon for 6 year olds? I convinced myself that it would actually be the same great game experience.
Boy, was I wrong. Fuck you, Celda.
And yet, still, I lived in hope. Nintendo are an incredible game company, I reasoned. Ocarina of Time can't just be a one-off. I know they'll blow me away with their next Zelda. I just know it.
TO BE CONTINUED.........

.......CONTINUED
I watch E3 2004. 3 games interest me the most.
>Half Life 2
>Resident Evil 4
>Zelda Twilight Princess
I'm not particularly over-awed by TP. I mean, Capcom were getting these fantastic fucking visuals out of teh Gamecube with RE4, which became one of my favourite games of all time, along with Half Life 2. Of course the Wii was announced a year or so later, before TP hit the shelves, and a Wii version was coming. Hey, I've had every Nintendo console up until now, and this Wii looks promising. I travelled to a trade show in Dublin, and tried out the Wii a few months before release. I was sold. Twilight Princess here I come.
Fucking. Disappointment. Again.
Controls felt clunky. Visuals looked like someone had smeared fucking vaseline all over the TV screen.
Not to worry, surely the next Zelda HAS to be great.
I had a date with Skyward Sword. Outwardly I was smiling (it's going to be great, it's going to be great); inside I was already dead.
Skyward Sword marks the last time I had high hopes for a Zelda game. I've let it go. I've moved on. I'm having actual sex with an actual girl now, and I don't care if Zelda U/NX is good or a piece of overhyped repackaged shit that Nintendo have been flogging for almost 2 decades now. That teenage lad who fell in love with OoT won't ever forget that experience, but the adult he currently is realizes that that experience was a once-off, and is gone forever.
i haven't even purchased a Wii U, and it's going to take a lot more than hyperbole and promises from nintendo to make me consider an NX purchase.
tl;dr Stop kidding yourselves, lads. Zelda is dead.
I don't see what the problem is.
Did you just make a thread to write an essay using caps lock?

Guess Nintendo really did win E3.
>>341326531
Watch the webm
>this pop in is acceptable in 2017
how are yall making those clips? the twitch ones are huge are you just lowering the bitrate insanely?
I dont really think they fucked up, but it isnt a system seller for me.
>>341326810
Its actually divided fairly well right now. Its either shit or goty right now. Which considering this is /v/ is a pretty good sign.
>>341326858
It is for the Wii U, which it is running on at E3.
NX should be better.
can't we report him for literally being an absolute faggot and being retarded?
seriously, what the fuck is this and where does this retard think he's in?
>>341326810
>>/v/ working on total overdrive mode to claim the next Zelda is shit
Might not be shit, but it sure as hell isn't amazing.
>>341325684

How long have you been writing this
How does it feel that this isn't even good b8

Ignore the pasta idiots. He gives it away with the gf segway.
>Same gliding shit as Wind Waker from 13 years ago
>ONLY THIS TIME WITH A STAMINA BAR!
Aonuma is such a fucking hack. This game is boring as hell. The only upside to the livestream is being able to look at boobies.
>>341327218
Well by the time I made my post, the thread had 3 unique posters. Me, the guy above me, and the three posts above that are all unique posters. So OP made this thread to pull this shit.

The delusion is real.

I'll give you a 7/10 for story structure, will use again in some other zelda thread.
Literally what are you retards going on about? The game looks fine, stop being such dramatic faggots.
>wahh!! my precious game series has elements that resemble other games!! It's ruined!!!
What a bunch of crybaby mongoloids. It's fucking pitiful that we share the same species.
>>341327764
Considering Wii U is like a slightly better 360 and NX is meant to be at least as good as a PS4, it should be better.
>>341325849
>>341325684
This has to be some modified Windwaker copypasta
>>341327865
I never said I was the biggest fan. What the fuck would that even mean?
I've played all console Zeldas. My post is referring to the 3D Zeldas.
If you don't liek my opinion and disagree, fine. Say so and move on.
But before you do, I would just like you to consider that this game was announced almost 2 years ago, has been in development for about 5 years, and was the game Nintendo chose to push the hardest at E3,
and this, THIS, is the best they could do.
If I'm wrong for being disappointed by this, well, I guess I should just give up on having standards at all.
>>341328151
ignoring op, I seriously cannot get over how fun this looks.
>small amounts of TECHNOLOGY
>godly atmosphere
>weapon variety looks awesome
>similar in structure to original zeldas
>story is told through environmental clues
>gameplay looks fun as fuck
I'm actually, genuinely hype.
>>341328393
>NX is meant to be at least as good as a PS4
We know nothing about NX. It could be a handheld, and the NX version looks the same.

thanks for the blog post
that's why I come to 4chan to read your blog
>>341325487
Game looks great, reminds me of Dragon's Dogma
>>341329350
>I have never played an open world game before. Mundane things like weapon variety is exciting to me!
Nintendrones are funny.
>>341329630
>it could be a handheld
Considering the console version of Dragon Quest XI and Just Dance are confirmed for it, I don't think that's the case.

I'm sorry you have become so jaded that fun things are no longer fun.
consider ending yourself if it becomes too much :^)
>>341325684
>>341325684
Being an OoT fan is suffering, but you're being too much of a pessimistic fag about it.
This game was not just announced, you knew what it was going to look like years ago. All the new details released are awesome, quit being a baby.
>>341325684
>>341325849
Permaban this guy please. Unreal shitposting.
>>341326858
I honestly didn't notice it until I read this post and watched it a second time. It's notable but I don't really give a shit. I knew this would look decent at best because of Wii U hardware.

I hope they fix the pop ins, at least fade in. On top of that, will the NX version run better?

I must have missed the part where Nintendo showed pop in and called it a feature

I´m waiting for the nx version before making such a statement
but yeah the wii u version looks pretty bad
>>341325487
It looks great tho.
lmao graphics are Lineage 2 Interlude tier
>>341325684
you needed to kill yourself a long time ago
and WW was amazing :^3
THEY JUST CONFIRMED:
there is no story or character showing off in the gameplay on e3 to not spoil the game
it happened just now in the stream
>>341325684
>>341325849
You will never be 14 and playing OoT again. Please get over yourself.
>>341325487
Why does the parachute thing take up stamina? Makes no sense since gripping it isn't as demanding as swinging a weapon, yet Link doesn't lose any stamina from that.
>>341334291
>yet Link doesn't lose any stamina from that.
Yes he does.
>>341333243
They're not though?
>>341325684
>I was 14
>I purchased a Dreamcast
I just wanted 3D zelda 1, I wanted them to stop with the shitty OOT formula.
got damn
>>341334546
They're bad, anon.
>>341334771
I don't get it.
>>341334820
Yeah but it's a lot more complex
NX is a tablet portable that doesn't compete with the 3ds
WiiU will be the definitive version
>>341325684

I like your samefagging pasta thread. Please make more like it.
I feel like one of the few on /v/ who doesn't give a fuck about this one, and I fucking liked Skyward Sword.
>>341335528
Same here.
>>341329350
The game world is barren as fuck for an open world clone...literally no vegetation, trees, or wild animals, weather effects.. it actually hasl ike N64 amount of trees when they do show up lol
>>341335159
>>341335226
I've offered my honest opinion on an upcoming game.
You guys have shitposted, presumably because you don't like/can't handle what I had to say.
>>341336009
>literally no vegetation, trees, or wild animals, weather effects
if only you had put this much effort into real life
>>341325684
>>341325849
Okay, how would you fix the series?
>>341328151
It looks like everything was dumped in molten magic markers
>>341336528
I wouldn't.
I'd let it die or at least take a very long break from it, and allow Nintendo development teams to create something new from scratch, without the baggage of a Zelda title.
>>341325487
MGSV 2.0 but with no improvement to the core gameplay.
People are already pretending the game is going to be vastly different in the other areas even though this has never ever been true for an open world game.
>>341335147
That's the wiiu controller dumbass
>>341325849
Nice blog post faggot
>>341340336
Did you get triggered, petal?
>>341340107
Nah man.
The NX will serve the same functionality as the U tablet but will also be able to be used on the go.
