Final thoughts?
Eh. I guess it looks okay. It should do it for most people, wasn't exactly what I was hoping for but I'll probably like it well enough.
Dragons dogma for manchildren.
>>341522904
They try to change it up and didnt completely fuck up. Only the game can speeak for itself when it comes out.
I want to see how it will look on the NX
There's not much final about them right now, but I am looking forward to the game.
>>341522904
LOL
I'd say day 1 pirate, but it looks too much like shit to put on my personal queue
>Skyward Sword is so much better
>>341522904
It looks pretty cool. But it's still Nintendo, so I'm betting they'll find some way to fuck it up.
>>341522904
why do we have to wait a year for it to release now? Looks fucking finished to me. Does it really take a year to polish it?
I think they've shown that there is a very fertile groundwork for a good game should they have built one upon it.
>>341523708
so edgy xD
>>341523793
NX launch title, dumbass
>>341523793
It's an NX launch title
YEAH BOI!!!!/10
>>341522904
excited
>2017
>>341523716
I've always believed the "Zelda Cycle" to be bullshit, and I can't wait until all you fags come around as well. Nobody who hates Skyward Sword will ever like it, and will probably hate it even more now that this game seems to have fixed everything that was wrong with it.
God that game was such trash. This is coming from someone who stomached 2.5 playthroughs btw just so I could be sure.
>>341522904
Yes im hyped, but im not gonna buy a Wii U just for one game
>>341523793
FOR VR
Too good to be trueand it probably is
The Nintendo renaissance begins now. Soon the industry will be purged of movie-games, casuals and the NX will make gameplay great again.
Art style and general quality of the graphics aren't very appealing at all
looks like ass.
Trailer was amazing, game play was shit
Looks like there'll be even more empty space than twilight princess
>>341523892
So because Nintendo fucked up the Wii U, abandoned it early, and still couldn't finish up enough NX software in time for Christmas, anybody who bought the Wii U needs to just sit on it and spin while they delay a basically finished game?
>>341522904
Looks pretty good, treehouse stream had washed out colors for w/e reason.
I like all the interactivity you can have with the environment which is what all the discussion on /v/ seems to be ignoring.
I fucking hate bullet time though and i wish devs would fuck off with that.
>>341524301
Maybe they took the opportunity to polish it up even more, which benefits everyone. Have you ever considered that, or do you just like to go with whatever hypothesis justifies your bitching?
>>341524301
Yes.
>>341523863
are you frustrated that you are already justifying the $60 for your Gamecube game?
>>341524301
As soon as the NX is announced and I confirm it's something I actually want, I will likely sell my Wii U
But yeah, yes to all of those things if you want to be bitter about it
Fuck this Skyrim rip off.
>>341522904
Its making me considering getting the nx, If nx turns out to be bullshit like the wii/wiiu then I'll wait till the Cemu emulator is fully functional
It will be shit
Not sure. I've always hoped for Zelda to return to being less linear, but never expected it going full sandbox. Don't know if it'll be good, but it was the only game shown this year that makes me want to play it and find out.
>>341524067
Why does /v/ hate skyward sword? Personally I'd say MM=OoT=WW>SS>TP>PH>ST of the ones I've played. SS didn't do anything terribly wrong in my opinion so what is it that /v/ doesn't like?

It's not just empty space. There are plenty of objectspopping inat all times.
>>341524439
what are you saying? type out a decent argument next time.
>>341524883
The frame rate really was shit
I hope the NX will be better because it looks bad enough to detract from the experience
why do they keep adding space age looking gadgests to a fucking zelda game?
First we had a talking ice skating robot, now you can use your i-pad to place laser beams on far away points.
Nintendo PLZ.
>empty, lifeless "open world"

>>341522904
Gameplay looks good, great even - but presentation needs serious polish, especially with the physics and the animations.
Dragons dogma with extra twinky link
with weapon based combat
7/10
I just hope it has challenging puzzles
looks leagues better than skyward sword atleast, although that isn't that big of a feat
>>341524838
The top is wiiu, the stream on the bottom had washed out colors for some reason but at the playable demo displays the colors were like the top judging from the footage recorded..
>>341524998
You are right. Sandbox worlds are usually things where you can manipulate the environment, you know, cutting down trees. Building things up with physics like some kind of magnets. Destroying and building things in general. You know.. like this game.
>>341524753
They had to move their uncoordinated, fatass arms around too much and Fi wouldn't stop telling them how much they sucked.
They shoulda taken a page out of the witchers 3s book,game looks like dead shit with nothing in it
>healing while paused
>no inventory limit or restriction like bottles
This is a big fucking problem because it removes all of the difficulty and tension. You are literally immortal if you picked up enough mushrooms.
>>341525012
>not even the same area
Because you need the same exact pixel to say graphics have been lowered
>its been confirmed that the treehouse stream had wased out colors for w/e reason
Yeah, for "whatever reason"
>Yt compression artifacts
That's not how compression works
>>341525259
>I-I's just a low-quality stream, it won't be like this!
Pathetic
>>341524753
Skyward Sword did lots of things wrong, like the empty sky, wasted potential with loftwing, constant handholding, and a lot of decisions that come down to personal preference (like revisiting areas)
It's still my favorite 3D Zelda after Ocarina, but it's easy to see why people hate it.
>>341525330
If you really think the promotional footage they had on display behind Aonuma in 2014 was running on an actual Wii U and not a prerender from a development PC, you are an absolute fucking idiot.
>>341524873
ST was PH without Linebeck to carry it. Bland story that was even more boring than PH's. Also ST felt more limited due to the track setting instead of sea. Lastly, the final boss of ST was mechanically better, but less challenging and didn't hit home as well as PH's
>>341523716
SS is good. Stop with this meme.
it's visuals look a decade old
>>341525502
If anything I'm agreeing with you, dumbass.
The game needs real polish, especially in its animations but I doubt Nintendo will do jack shit to improve them.
Looks promising and anyone who says other wise is a shitposter its moving the game in a new direction that was needed and shows that nintendo needs to let the younger devs take over
>>341525614
yeah but the fucking ps4 showcase is at least 4 years behind too
>>341522904
It honestly looks fucking amazing.
And I'm sad because I dont have a lot of money. I want to play this so bad but I just can't afford it. It pains me, I'm so jealous of people who can get it. But I just don't have the dough to drop hundreds on a Wii U, or NX, and then another 50 or so on the game.
>>341525502
We've already seen gameplay from the demo floor that aestetically looks more like the top because the colors arent fucked.
>>341525574
Zelda carried that entire game so well and you fucking know it you uneducated piece of platypus shit autist cuckburger mcgoo sonygger
>>341524680

>>341525614
Because they are.
All thanks to Nintendo shit hardware the last two gens.
>>341525697
what?
>>341525649
Got the wrong post, my bad, meant for the one above, >>341525240
>>341525816
The games shown at the PS4 E3 conference don't look like graphical masterpieces of cutting edge technology.
Some of the games are sporting tricks and gimmicks from four years ago. Even Death Stranding, though gorgeous, isn't cutting edge.
>>341522904
Gameplay seems pretty good and it has exploration. As long as it doesn't fall for the usual open world problems, it'll be the best zelda.
>>341524067
>I've always believed the "Zelda Cycle" to be bullshit
The only people who deny the Zelda cycle are the people who are guilty of herd mentality and unknowingly do what is described in the Zelda cycle themselves; you're just in denial.
If you were honest with yourself, you'd be able to just sit back and watch what others do, and you'd notice this pattern of people saying the new game is shit, then when another new one comes out a few years later, that shitty game wasn't really so bad all of a sudden. The Zelda cycle isn't open to debate, it's a fact. It really does happen. Why do you deny that people are inconsistent in their logic?
>>341525367
>>341525367
no sandbox games are ones that are nonlinear and allow you to pick your own path and do whatever you want from the start. something like mount and blade or x3. don't even know what you two are arguing about but sandbox hs nothing to do with building
>>341525545
Go look at the projared video then, he went into a few similar locales and tge grass does look similarly to what was initially shown, movement and all
>>341525531
>empty sky
Valid, with there being only 3-4 islands that had something other than treasure.
>lofting potential
What potential? Could you elaborate?
>handholding
Valid
>decisions
Valid
So this puts it at like a 6-7/10 but there is also all the color and mark it left on the series as a whole. Skyward was so light hearted and fun up until the last hour. (And LE edgy villain was actually cool (ghiram or something))
>>341525146
I defiantly like the styling and idea of how zelda does technology. It reminds me of protoss from starcraft only not space like, I don't know what they call the style.
>>341526130
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOA-OOOOOOOOOHHH!
>>341522904
I'd need to see how it looks on the NX, I don't think it really looks that good right now on the Wii U.
>>341522904
Buttblasted the sonyponies into shitting the whole board during 2 days.
That's a sign of a winner. 10/10 can,t wait
>>341524680
hi tumblr
>>341526069
Have you considered the possibility that there's more than one person voicing their opinions on the internet?
It looks like Aonuma took the worst parts of western sandbox games, and slapped Legend of Zelda on it. This doesn't look interesting for someone who grew up with the type,of games this is shamelessly trying to be.
Very fun looking game held back by ABSOLUTE shit graphics.
>>341526379
>defiantly
How did this ever become a thing?
>>341522904
I played it today. Looks pixely, and the framerate is meh, but the environment is absolutely top tier and Ganon has never been better. It'll be worth a buy despite the hardware performance issues.

>>341526617
RULES OF NATURE
>>341526817
oh anon thats cute when you try to deny it.
>>341522904
Seriously looks like it might be the best game in the entire decade
Its like they wanted to take the series back to its roots, its REAL roots with Zelda 1, an open land with a sense of mystery and history that's just there for you to dig around in and discover
The mechanics just look amazing, there's a huge emphasis on interactivity with the world now, plus the physics seem a lot more advanced and malleable. Its like they wanted to game to be a bit more Mario-like but still be Zelda, and as a result you get a world that you can truly touch and interact with
The trend in games right now is to have cinematic gameplay where you just go through the motions, but this is the total reverse of that. Everything I've seen so far just blows me away. It seriously looks like the most innovative game in years, that brings an immersive quality to interacting with the world; it's as if they know about the massive amounts of glitching that can be done in OoT and MM, and decided to incorporate that feeling of playing around with physics into the normal game rules.
>>341526617
God I hate bullet time, otherwise thats great.
>>341522904
I love walking sims!
Another Nintendo VR gimmick when?
>>341526886
Is it automatic or manual?
>>341526886
Do you also haterad tricks dude?
It's the game that has me the most hyped at E3, and that's from walking into it expecting to hate it after the last 2 major games. I've got my worries like anyone else, but it looks like it's fun and addressing a lot of issues the series has had in the past.
>>341526672
out of curiosity what do you want out of this game exactly?
>>341526726
>Ganon has never been better
Sure, and my father who works at Nintendo regularly brings home a NX dev kit.
>>341526303
Loftwing was supposed to be more of a partner and I don't think it even has a name. Most people form a stronger bond with the sailcloth. Everything associated with the sky segment was hung out to dry. There's very few islands you visit outside of Skyloft and the tavern.
There's other personal things like the motion controls, story, and specific parts like collecting tears or music notes. These I disagree with.
Excited but hesitant. I could go either way.
The lack of music is really weird. It feels like it's missing something.
Looks pretty good. Quite how dense it'll be is still slightly questionable and I'm not sold on all of the ideas they've taken straight from other open world games, especially the indie survival shit like durability and hunger, but I can't imagine it not being at least great overall after this. The rune powers look amazingly fun to use and I can't wait to see if they can be upgraded or combined eventually (especially since I get them as much as I like instead of having fecking durability). Fighting also looks much more challenging and seemingly varied, though I could easily see there being one or two dominant strategies (I'm guessing "instant spin attacks", like usual) and a lot of other approaches like grassfires or explosives just used to be a break from routine once or twice and then ignored.I'd still have enjoyed a girl Link, especially now there's different armors to wear. Sorry.

>>341527289
The trailer had some good music.
>>341527132
I thought motion control was fun because I'm not morbidly obese. I do see how the loft wing was supposed to replace epona though, which it did a rather shit job at.
>>341527289
I hope the dungeons are better, along with them being harder like not letting you hit the pause menu and heal in the middle of a boss or mini boss battle.
I NEED TO LISTEN MORE OF ITS SOUNDTRACK!!!
>>341527323
>hunger
I absolutely, positively love when tards signal me not to read further in their tldr
>>341527289
I heard music a few times, but it seems to come and go.
It turned out to be a pretty mediocre game overall. 9/10
>>341527402
>NO THATS SONYS THEY CREATED THAT WAHHHH WAHHHH
>>341526647
People always use this excuse. By implication, you are denying that people are inconsistent in their logic.
If you don't deny that people are inconsistent, and that people pretend to not like the new thing because they think it's makes them "cool" on /v/, then you should have no trouble admitting the Zelda cycle is real. I think the only people who would deny it are people who do what is described in the Zelda cycle, and you guys are just mad that we found holes in your logic and we found a pattern. People don't want to hear that they're wrong. They don't want to be exposed.
>>341527547
Not enough Link shirtless 4/10
>>341527032
From what I can tell its automatic and I cant stand that. I hated when they forced bullet time on you after you got the dead eye upgrade in mexico and you couldnt turn it off in RDR. This just takes it away from me when Id rather being taking shots in realtime hopfully with momentum influencing shots.
That asside though I love all the world interativity and how it can influence combat. I wish people would talk about that more and how you can take more than one solution to a situation.
>>341527615
>Sony
>Not Naughty Dog
get your fucking fats straight before you shitpost.
>>341527528
Is there not? I read a couple of articles yesterday stating that it wasn't just for regaining hearts and you'd have to eat or start losing health.
Not really a central point, though. Are you always this prickly?
>>341527821
>stop triggering me! it isnt sony it's Sony's company! you will treat them with respect
Excited but skeptical, TP gave me a lot of similar vibes before it came out. It seemed to have that same sense of "this is going back to real Zelda spirit" and "Wow the world is so open".
>>341524067
Zelda Cycle was real until Skyward sword.
My opinions on it being shit haven't budged.
Reminds me a lot of Shadow of the Colossus
>>341523228
>tripfag calling others manchildren
wew
>>341527821
wow triggered, manbaby?
Looks like a game that fell for the empty open world meme. Combat is a one button mash fest, puzzles look babbified, there was a massive graphical downgrade, and the game runs terribly. Why should I be hype? The voice acting doesn't help either.
>>341527837
Ah, i see the trouble, you have the reading ability of a 3rd grader.
I always forget that schools over at this date.
@341528096
>If i meme hard enough maybe another tard will agree with me
Not even worth a (you)
Looks good but I'm not totally sold yet. World looks mostly empty and not much to do in it. Finding the shrines gives you reason to explore, but otherwise you're just using your bow to kill enemies to find another bow to kill more enemies because the old one is broken now. Needs more places to see and things to in addition to the shrines.
>>341528098
You think three lines is tl;dr and I'm the one who can't read?
Did they show any more footage of the new Zelda today?
Almost everything about this game looks great, but it all comes down to how they handle the NX. If they just make a regular fucking controller for once in their life, then maybe they can spend more money manufacturing a decent console and fix the drop-in issue. The drop-in in this game is horrendous.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52UaLUUnpe4
At 13:50, you can see shit on the ground popping in when Link is about five feet away. Absolutely pathetic, this game can only be saved by the NX.
>>341528316
3 lines ARE too much when it's written by an idiot.
>>341527032
isn't there two types of arrows, the precision ones that do the slow time thing and other ones? The slow time stuff gets old fast.
>>341528096
You've only seen the starting area, and the only puzzles shown are intro puzzles for new items lol.
>>341527754
Wow that looks really ea-
nevermind
>>341528460
But I'm not an idiot, I'm very very cleverWhat are you getting out of this?

>>341526130
damn that's fucking nice
>>341528453
The dropin seems inconsistent from everything ive seen, it'll probably be mostly alleviated with some optimization.
>>341522904

Cooking is neat
Going as stealth as possible
Graphics are good from far away, terrible up close (and you spend a lot of time up close)

Looked pretty easy. He died because he ran off to collect rocks and didn't even follow it with the camera as he did, but otherwise unless it has some lower-HP pattern change, there didn't seem to be anything that would have stopped him from just climbing straight back up and wailing on the weak spot again every time he gets knocked off.
>>341528590
Passing time, food is cooking.
>>341522904
open world game done right. the world is actually fun to interact with and play around in, not a static wasteland to complete boring side quests in
>>341528551
It was really easy, they was no reason to run infront
That boss literally couldn't do shit to you if you climbed on it.
>>341525425
>no inventory limit or restriction
Except there is. Every inventory (ingredients, cooked food, weapons, bows, shields) are limited and once it's full you need to throw something out to make room for more.
Oh my fuck this game looks like dogshit and if you actually trust Nintendo after Starshit Zero happened then you should be gunned down in the street like the degenerate you are.
>>341522904
Its okay. Not great but good. Most of what was shown is stuff that had been done before and is only being circle jerked over because its nintendo.
>>341522904

Oh do go on.
>>341528790

>>341528453
I dont see any pop in at that timestamp but yea the game does have it. I wouldnt be so quick to blame it on hardware though, if its not properly optimized yet youd likely have the same issue on NX so id at least wait closer to release to judge.
So far its promising.
>>341526379
Magitech I believe.
Technology born from magic.
>>341529524
How should I know? Im just giving my thoughts on the game.
>>341529516
thx, I can go to bed now.
>>341522904
years ago i would be hyped as fuck but nintendo has not made a game that is better than a 6/10 since mario sunshine. the library on wii and wiiU is complete shit and every game is mediocre-bad.
skyward sword, mario galaxy, NSM were all insulting.
so im not hyped yet
>>341525425
I dunno anon, it seems like enemies do a good ammount of damage, even then maybe they give you a lot of inventory space in the demo to fuck around but in the actual game you need to upgrade your pouch/bag, and if it still feels too easy you could always challenge yourself by not eating food or not equipping strong armor.
>>341529181
The difference is that Nintendo actually cares for Zelda unlike Starfox.
>>341527487
10/10
achievement: beat the entire game only basebaling projectiles
>>341527443
In case I wasn't clear the motion controls do work wonderfully. It's just people unwilling to learn. Speedruns look great. I also like the story and other parts.
>>341529840
Well you did say it's because they have a free pass, you could at least explain why otherwise there's no logic to it.
It's possible for the game to stand up for it's own merits. The game does use a lot of conventions in other games but it seems like there really well blended, and that's pretty commendable.
all I am seeing from the new Zelda game is that it's very big...and.........................that's it.
I'm sorry guys but I'm not buying into the hype. After seeing what Nintendo had to offer I just....don't see it. I'm seeing every single trope that almost all open world games fall into and none of it is exciting to watch.
Just because something is bigger in scale doesn't make it better.
I mean, call me callous if you want to but I think the cult levels of excitement are just way WAY too biased on this for the sake of it being a new game instead of trying to see if it even brings anything new. Instead, it's just "It's new...........for Zelda" and nobody is even asking if what was brought over was a good thing.
>>341529217
I dont think Ive seen any games do the level of world interaction and how it can be used in conjunction in combat that BotW has shown so far
>>341529931
>nintendo has not made a game that is better than a 6/10 since mario sunshine
>>341527547
Too much water 1/10
Good technology gameplay wise. The climbing, the boulder interactions, the magnet shit, the fire making wind allowing to propel yourself
All cool ass shit that open world games absolutely forget because they focus on big scale instead of small moment to moment fun gameplay
That said, no fucking anything. Shrines were boring as fuck, and there are alot of vasts landscapes of nothing. I don't expect "BUT THEY ARE ADDING TOWNS" to change alot of these instances. Especially near the canyons. I don't see a reason to do moblin camp #43 or bother fighting Stalfos. All they will do is fuck up your durability.
>>341530269
>I didn't watch the gameplay
has nintendo come out on any word as to why their game is so empty?
I mean if they didn't know already word must have reached them by now. Tell me that this demo is intentionally pre-alpha as fuck because it does not look very fun at all right now
Game seems good, Great if you have realistic expectations for the system and its limits. Based on its size and exploration and atleast pretty decent puzzle design compared to what most games call puzzles. even on current consoles they would love to have a game like this. Considering the limitations of a system that is basically ps3.5 this game looks amazing from what we have seen, and a surprising amount of gameplay
>every shrine gives a new ability for your tablet
>each ability is super unique and has cool applications in the overworld and most likely the dungeons
>there are over 100 of these shrines
>over 100
>>341530269
You didn't even bother watching the trailer, did you?
>>341522904
Looks like it might be really amazing, the world is beautiful, and the freedom of action and exploration is impressive. I have a gut feeling that this is going to be one of my favorite games of all time.
My main concern is that there might be less substantial areas and more quantity than quality (although still being visually appealing.
>>341531194
trailer isn't the gameplay
gotta agree with him, it just doesn't look good

Starfox Zero was fine, people just refused to use or sucked at the controls. W101 had a similar issue as well ontop of actually having a signifigant learning curve.

I meant "big boss" as in, a story related boss or a boss that is super difficult in gameplay.

I think even you know there aren't going to be 100 unique runes. Why even post this?
It looks like it could be a lot of fun, but I don't think it'll reach the balance that Ocarina of Time achieved.

Just Cause has done it before.

Lots of other games have done what this game is doing before.
Nothing shown is truly innovative, at best its just combined in one package. I'm not saying its bad but its not the second coming of christ and its not saving the industry.
>>341530185
I never said they get a free pass. I said that the game is getting so much circle jerking on /v/ because it is nintendo. Nothing shown was anywhere near jaw droppingly amazing but because nintendo in recent years is none for being stale and not innovating any hint of an innovation or change for the better is considered the sign that god is descending from heaven.
>>341531843

Has anyone compared the locations from the Trailer to the e3 demo?

Actually yes
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like they are giving players the opportunity to play in multiple different ways, making replayability high. There seem to be a lot of potential for self-imposed challenges, and Aonuma even said you could theoretically fight the final boss from the very beginning of the game, though that's not advised.

Are people really trying to detract that BotW is doing elements damn well simply because

>>341524680
This game won't impress graphically, and there are some load times to deal with. The removal of hand holding should make some hardcore fans happy. The success of the game rests on breaking the problem most over worlds have which is at some point the distance between locations becomes a headache and most players just teleport to the next location whenever possible.

>>341524753
Exploration was really lacking and linear, you couldn't even go places at night. That's probably the most annoying thing to me at least. They tease the Loftwing headlights that let them fly at night too, you just never get them.
On top of the soundtrack was not memorable, the harp was pretty hard to control, there were a lot of repetitive boss fights - and on top of that they some of the ones that should have been menacing were overly silly (Demise/Tentalus).
Skyward Sword was no doubt a good game, it just failed in a lot of areas Zelda is known for.
>>341522904
OK, but I'm worried about the overworld taking too much spotlight and that whole "you can beat the final dungeon already giuse"
You know damn well that if it's true, then it's gonna be easy as hell. It's nintendo that we're talking about here.
Other than that it looks ok
>>341532759
Speedrunners will find a way to fuckup the game somehow.
But thats pretty good news.
>>341528453
Aonuma confirmed that it'll have better visuals but it'll still be the same game.
>>341533072
That has less to do with the game and more to do with the average gamer having no patience and a shit attention span
>>341532575
No it wouldn't and you know damn well thats a lie. If this was from ubisoft or bethesda it would be called absolute shit and buggy and no one would look twice. If it was from sony people would make up excuses and call it a movie game or say the art style is shit or whatever else. If it was on Xbone they would say why not just play it on PC? And any other console would be called out for the silky smooth FPS. Any other console would and does get called out for the pop in issues just look at the Zero dawn thread doing just that.
Nintendo does get a free pass with a lot of the bullshit that other companies pull but I didn't even bring that up. All I said was that this is getting touted so much because it is nintendo not that the negatives are being ignored because its nintendo.

No fucking way. Source? I can't believe for 1 second that you can enter the Castle (or wherever Ganon is) without at least 1 or 2 special items that unlock new areas.

It barely looks, feels, or sounds like Zelda.
This Zelda seems to be shaping up exactly to have the same fate as Fallout 4 and Skyward Sword

>>341522904
Looks amazing. Goes above and bottoms what anyone expected. Massive world, teeming with life and enemies and discoverable story and beauty. Absolutely blown away. It's the most open game I've ever seen and it's literally 360 kilometers which is like the perfect sweet spot for me. I can't wait to explore and learn and have fun playing the game, gathering, hunting, exploring, gliding, shield boarding, committing arson, learning the story, solving puzzles, discovering interesting people and towns, finding the weapons and gear I like most, and dicking around. It's everything I want in a Zelda game. I didn't expect Aonuma to deliver honestly. My only complaint is with graphics and performance but I love the art style and the NX version will likely solve that issue. Can't wait to watch the night sky and go meteorite hunting, pic related.
>>341534547
>I haven't watched the trailer or even 1 second of gameplay
>>341533343
I disagree, visuals pop up and performance have been at the fore front of complaints against the game thus far and that's even with nintendo behind the game. In fact people are hammering on those point doubly so because of that fact.
The point I'm trying to make is this. Just because it's been done before doesn't mean it can't be improved upon and outside of the aforementioned issues, A lot of what's being presented may not be innovative in the sense that's it's been done before but what's being shown seems to be pretty well intergrated into the game instead of being an after thought.
Also has anyone managed to find any bugs in the game or managed to crash the demo yet?

>>341534184
>If people think a game looks good they will say it.
Not the autist reeeing about the zelda cycle but that shit is accurate to a point. People will not say it is good unless its from a company they like ESPECIALLY on /v/ and people will lie through their teeth to fit in with the hivemind.
This game is good. But it is not some insane work of god that redefines video games. It is being held to be such because it is Nintendo and it is getting shit on more than it deserve because it is Nintendo.

I agree. It's too far away for me to get excited for it. It looks amazing, but get back to me a month before it drops. Also, we don't even know what it'll look like on the NX, if Nintendo will find a way to fuck it up as usual or what the NX even looks like. Hopefully it's just a console and not some gimmick bullshit, which it most likely will be.
At any rate, it's too far in the future for me to care at that much.
>>341534810

>>341522904
>Zelda used to be a once in a generation great leap forward in quality
>It's now aping popular trends and pretty much plagiarizing other games
I think the most telling thing to take away from E3 is that /v/ isn't being swarmed with people memeing all over Nintendo despite them showing up at E3 with literally two games. Says a lot about the the quality of what they were showcasing IMO, according to the narrative pre-E3 we were all supposed to be mourning the death of Nintendo right about now.
>>341522904
Looks great. It feels like they took previous games and actually expanded on them for once, rather than taking one step forward and two steps back like in previous games. They removed the shackles and let the game world speak for itself. The physics are top-notch as well, it's nice that everything isn't restricted/scripted anymore. Being able to fuck around and experiment adds another layer of fun to the game.
The only things I'm concerned about are the towns and dungeons. I understand why they weren't in the demo, but it would have been nice if they had some pre-recorded footage of them at least. I'm sure they'll be in a Direct at some point. In my opinion, dungeons can make or break a Zelda, and my concern is that they'll take a back seat in favor of the exploration (like with Wind Waker). But it seems like they're actually taking time on this game and not rushing it out the door, so we'll see.

Holy shit dude there is dynamic weather and animals react? It's almost like every game out there since 2008. Your post is the perfect example of what the game is going to be. Small features to try to hide the fact that the overall thing is shit.
I want to like the game, but this game just screams that it is a money trap.

I wonder why.
>>341536084
Witcher and Far Cry aren't innovative either.
It says a lot to me that the games everyone cries about Breath of the Wild "copying" are ones that already copied from other games. The only exception is Dragon's Dogma, and that's the one game that deserves to be copied.
>>341526726

>>341535693
I agree there are fanatics out there but at the same time the game does have a lot of time to be optimized to address technical issues and that's not even mentioning the NX release.
My point being given that this is a demo there does seem to be enough here to warrant the hype and dissent that's being passed around.
As doubtful as it is I would hope that any company worth there salt would take their time to assess the issues being addressed and work accordingly
>>341536087

I'm really curious about the dungeons.
I like the shrines - they remind me of the challenge tombs in the new Tomb Raider games - but I'm worried that they are going to take away from the real dungeons. I'm concerned that this game might not put as much effort into the big dungeons as it does into the open world.

And therefore they're guaranteed to be bad? This is unfalsifiable: if what we see is bad and people hate it, then of course it's going to be shit, and if people like what they see and get excited, that also proves it's going to be shit because other games people were excited about were shit.
I think you missed your calling as a witch finder.
>>341536565
And Z-locking and dodging/rolling and basically everything, they just added RPG elements to it
Of course it has more depth, it's a fucking RPG. It's the entire point of the game.
Zelda isn't supposed to be deep, it's supposed to be immersive.

They were saying something about music being more ambient to punctuate moments in the open world rather than a tune droning on for eons as your explore. (I'm sure more instanced areas i.e. Shrines/Dungeons will have more traditional soundtracks)

"Psionic technology," maybe?
>>341522904
Absolutely in love, from what I've seen and played. All they need to do is fix the framerate, show how full-length dungeons will be structured, and show whether bosses will be combat-centric or if they'll follow the "use your dungeon item on them" mantra again.
This can very easily be the best Zelda game ever based on what they've shown. Better than WW and SS, for sure.
There is literally nothing wrong with building on the ideas of others if those ideas are good and well-integrated.
The problem comes when games just copy ideas whole-sale without considering whether those ideas are a good fit or not. There was nothing in the Breath of the Wild footage that I saw that felt like it didn't fit (except maybe the voice acting). All the gameplay mechanics were well-implemented.

If this wasn't a Legend of Zelda game and had a different looking character than Lunk in the game and it wasn't by Nintendo, then it wouldn't have even been shown at E3. Subnautica has more content and looks 100 times better, just reached the Xbox One yet no one gives a fuck about that game. Horizon looks 100 times better in any part of the game than the new Zelda game yet no hype about that. In fact, Horizon looks like what the Legend of Zelda SHOULD be at. But like usual, I'll just wait until the game's release and then hear about how mediocre it is. I was right about Fallout 4, I'll be right about this. When all they can show are gimmicks like crafting or WOAH THE WIND BLOWS YOUR CLOTHES and all the screenshots are desperate attempts to make the game seem better looking by cherry picking locations with a shit ton of bloom and the camera is far away from the textures. Fallout 4 had the same exact display of their game, it's great. Nintendo did say that they enjoyed Skyrim a lot, seems like they are taking after Bethesda after all.
>>341537602
No, you have to find things to sell to get them in towns instead of farming them out of the grass now. Possibly treasure chest rewards too.

Holy shit, I'm reading through IGN's Skyward Sword review and I can't believe how badly written and hilariously false it is.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/11/11/the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword-review
It's basically nothing but hyperbolic statements of "this is the best Zelda game ever", "this is a masterpiece", etc, and is flat-out wrong on a lot of things, like the "near perfect pacing", the controls being perfect, and the story being great. They gave it a 10/10 of course.
It makes me wonder what the inevitable reviews for BotW will be like. Will they be clouded by hype like this and be 10s across the board out of fear of Nintendo fanboys getting mad? I get the feeling that's why IGN went with such glowing praise for Skyward Sword.
>>341536565
Dark Souls is for casuals. Bosses are stupid easy and pvp is broken.
>you can change Link's hairstyle

I legitimately had fun with Skyward Sword, but I'll admit I was disappointed the game wasn't what it could have been.

Copy-paste argument, and people actually gave really good responses before the old thread died, but I still think this post summarizes my opinion toward the game so far:
I'm open to Nintendo literally making Witcher Jr., and I don't dislike anything they're adding with the crafting, inventory/equipment, etc. I am 100% behind all the new mechanics but I have 4 major issues.
1. It looks 5 years old visually. The washed out visuals look look terrible and I get the feeling it's there to try and detract from the absolute dogshit low res textures on everything. The same few assets are copy-pasted all over the place.
2. The world is empty as fuck, so Nintendo says it was intentional. Even with all NPCs/towns supposedly removed from the demo for "story" reasons, the game still has mad pop-in. I would bet they removed the NPCs and shit because the WiiU can't fucking run it at 30fps with the map full. I'm sure the game will run on NX fine (or I would fucking hope) but it's probably going to run like shit on the WiiToaster
3. Despite all the cool shit they showed off in the open world, the monsters seem to almost all die in 1 hit. The game looks extraordinarily easy in that sense. Maybe these are just early game monsters, but I saw 3 different monster types and they all were made of paper. Additionally, infinite bombs means you can just throw bombs at them and kill everything easily. Tits-chan was doing it near the end of the demo. If it is this easy I will want difficulty options.
4.The puzzles in the shrines were so basic and simple they seemed designed for a young child. Maybe I'm forgetting, but I seem to remember Zelda puzzles being challenging. In the older games they were often almost impossible without a guide to know where to go. This was like "put a bomb on the glowing thing" level of "puzzle" design. I fucking like Zelda because I fucking like dungeon puzzles.
I hope most of these get fixed and am cautiously optimistic.
It looks like it will get repetitive and the combat looks easy. I need a zelda title Dark Souls enemies.
>>341537835
When I see game crippling bugs I'll agree with you completely. Until then I'm more optimistic now than ever.
>>341537835
Again: there is no level of hype or anti-hype people could have that would make your Fallout 4 pattern system predict anything other than "gonna be shit".
So empty looking. Reminds me of morrowind
>>341537482
>>341537547
>let's move the goalposts
Zelda applied existing concepts to the newly invented 3D gamespace. It didn't invent what it was applying.
I have never been a Zelda fan but this looks amazing. I always disliked the pacing of the past games with how you collect 3 items and then the real game starts with searching several dungeons with their own theme. It always felt really predictable and repetitive but this feels like a completely new breath (heh) of fresh air for the series.
>>341522904
Looks like it will be the best 3D Zelda for everyone bored of traditional Zeldas'. So literally everyone
>>341537635
Do you think 6 years is all spent on optimization? They had nothing in their engine for a lot of the game. Fallout 4 took a fuckton of years too and it's because they have to heavily modify the engine. Also the visuals of the game look like a PS3/Xbox 360 game halfway through last gen. So much bloom, murky textures, whole patches of grass don't even pop in until you are 30 feet away. You sound like you will defend the game until you die though which is exhibited by the fact that you think those graphics don't look terrible. Or maybe you just have never played any game that is on the Xbone/PC/PS4

You're completely correct, but this is irrelevant. People are damn right to be more hyped for Zelda because Zelda has proven time and time again that they can completely nail this kind of experience in ways that other titles can't touch. Zelda gets how to make each and every detail contribute to the whole.

>the underage kid who memorized all types of logical fallacies to sound smart on the internet
What goal post did I move, you retard? I said Zelda invented lock-on melee combat, which Dark Souls built upon, and it literally did.
I ask again, show me another action adventure game from before OoT that features lock-on and I'll concede.
>>341538421
not the dude you're arguing with but you do realize that Open world games are held to a different standard than scripted games when it comes to visuals and performance right?
It's gonna be great
>>341538181
Overwatch is the most recent proof that the pattern doesn't work with any game. In fact most other game series get about the correct hype that the game deserves including Dark Souls 3, Battleborn, and Halo 5.
>>341524680
To be honest there are parts of the game that have grassy meadows like in the teaser from 2014

Where were you when Zelda became a generic unispsired open world mess, filled with QUALITY, shallow gameplay, and little gimmicks to make babies go "ogo ga ga fire!" "ogo ga ga surf board!"
This is a game for cucks and shills.
The worst part is, you ABSOLUTELY MUST BUY THIS GAME. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO FUCKING CHOICE.
>>341522904
Looks very good. Zelda needed more interaction and physics. Might even buy a wii woo or NX if they keep all that shit in, fix pop in, and framerate in big battles.also tree leaves look like shit but oh well.

How? Because it is literally nothing like any Zelda games before it?. It is doing everything it can to be different? I guess Link being in it makes it nostalgic? Why am I responding to a shit poster?
>>341538949
Circular reasoning. How do you know the "correct" hype before the game launches, other than the insane troll logic of "Fallout 4 was bad therefore things people are excited about are always bad"?
>>341539034
Figures that they put the bird flying in the wrong game. The shrines act as fast travel points when you unlock them, though.
>>341538601
Okay let's not get too picky here, farming them off Octoroks wasn't exactly a razor's edge of skill based gameplay.
>>341538336
It will be a nice break, but I hope this won't be a permanent transition from the traditional games.
I don't understand the argument that just because its been done before means that it can't be implemented in other games. Is there any other game where you can do all of the combined things that Zelda has shown off here?
>>341538421
>Also the visuals of the game look like a PS3/Xbox 360 game halfway through last gen
This is such obnoxious bait it's not even worth replying to. Here's your (You)
And you are also just straight up spewing lies. The way the grass works is gradiently, it absolutely does not pop in 30 feet away.
>b-but you just don't know what a real game looks like!!!
Or maybe there's more to visuals than resolution or polygon count? Are you this daft? Do you think The Wind Waker has "shit visuals"?
When I was on summer break back in the 80's I got the chicken pox. This is not something many of you will be familiar with as they came up with a vaccine a few years later but that is not the point of this. Like I was saying back in the 80's at the age of 6 I had never played a video game before and I had the chicken pox. I was stuck at home and too tired to play outside so my father who worked a lot at the time went out and bought us an NES and LoZ. He even brought home a little strategy guide that looked like a scholastic paperback with black and white pictures and the dungeons were drawn out with ascii characters instead of actual lines. I remember sitting and playing with my father for hours upon hours that week I was stuck inside. it's now been ~30 years, my father is a retired profession drunk that believes everything the TV tells him and I am a father of a wonderful 2 year old daughter. When I saw this game I remembered how much I loved spending time with my dad when he liked spending time with me, and I look at my daughter and wonder could I make good memories for her to remember me years from now? This game made me remember being a child and how wondrous everything is when you never knew what was on the next screen over or the rush of adrenaline when you solve a puzzle. I will probably play this game with her and enjoy it more than her, but maybe when she sits down to think of me she will remember it like I remember my father how he was.
>>341538473
Good, kids have shit taste.
>>341538727
I don't think people realize that.
Like I was talking about BOTW with some friends at work earlier today, and they all said that Horizon Zero Dawn looked so much better and that it blew Zelda out of the water. When I said that we've seen a highly scripted sequence from the latter, as opposed to hours and hours of people simply playing around in a million ways in that minuscule portion of the map in the Zelda demo, they simply called me out on being a nintendo fanboy, even though I only play PC and PS4 and don't even have a wii u yet.
I can't believe people are comparing the overworld to Witcher 3's. I absolutely love the Witcher games, it's in my top 5 game franchises, but honestly, TW3's world was no where NEAR as explorable as what we've seen from the E3 Zelda demo. You can literally go anywhere and do anything.
It's not a (very large, I admit) set of different paths you can undertake like in TW3's world, but an actual huge landscape that you can traverse however you want. The scope of freedom in this game is incredible, and I think the emptiness adds a lot of the feeling of vastness and exploration. From what I've seen from people playing the demo at the floorboard, they were ALWAYS bumping into new shit and finding out secrets and items and enemy camps and just cool places to try out stuff. And that's only 1% of the map, and that's fucking insane.
>>341539571
It's not okay when Nintendo does it.
>>341522904
Well if we approach this memeatically and look at Hype and /v/ butthurt I can guess that it will be a massive success.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Resident Evil still sells millions and everyone knows that series has been shit since RE4. Even Halo continues to sell even though Bungie has moved on.
Doesn't mean anything, child.
What percentage of people on this board do you think have actually played Zelda 1? I have a feeling I wouldn't want to find out.
Frankly I think it looks like a mishmash of a bunch of profoundly mediocre elements from other open world games. The coolest thing I've heard yet is that you can fight the final boss right away, which is neat, but I don't feel neat touches like that offset how uninteresting most of the other mechanics seem. Nothing I've seen yet looks much more inspired or interesting than any other open world nonsense that's come out in the last 7 or 8 years.
I say this as someone who's just fucking sick of open-world survival bullshit, though.
>>341538727
Pic related is Fable 2 from 8 years ago on the Xbox 360. Notice how it doesn't look like you lost your contacts on a nature hike?
>>341539672
Just because the world is bigger for a Zelda game does not mean that it is relatively bigger than other open world games and bigger doesn't mean more to explore either. Also do you not think that the E3 demo had scripted areas that won't be there at release?

As someone who is too old to justifiable still post on /v/ but does anyway, and has been hyper-critical of the entire Zelda franchise since OoT, what I've seen so far of BotW is the closest thing I've seen to what I think the franchise should have been shooting for all along.
This so far looks like an actual spiritual successor to LoZ with a healthy among of influence from the best parts of the best games in the series. I can see LttP, obviously some OoT. I can see Wind Walker. I can even see some Zelda II in there with the sense of ruinous decay in a declined kingdom (as was true with LoZ as well).
I hope there's at least a LITTLE bit of magic, fairy dust, that sort of stuff, in addition to the Sheikah mecha stuff though. If there's not, I guess that's fine, but I'd like to see some of the traditional elements retained.
Overall, it's hard to find things to complain about--maybe the non-stackable inventory. That's pretty asinine, but everything else looks good so far.
>>341537036
I liked it a great deal.
and I can guarantee you i'm older than you and have been playing Zelda for far longer.
>>341540905
if anything they are adding things to the plateau during release, because they cut out most NPCs and towns from the demo

I don't understand this mentality.
Like, yeah, sure, open-world games are a dime a dozen these days
But I can't honestly think of one that has this game's purported level of interactivity, or polish.
A lot of the reason people complain about open-world games is because they're basically empty husks with nothing to do in them. In this game, Literally everything, up to and including the grass under your feet has a purpose and reason for being. You can interact with literally everything you can see in meaningful ways. I can't think of another game that does that. The closest any other open world game comes, that I can think of off the top of my head, is the Just Cause games, and in those cases, it's limited to just putting physics scripts on everything.
>>341540152
I don't know why you're typing like an asshole, but it's confirmed that you can kill fish in the water with bombs, arrows, and spears. No word on actual fishing rods yet but I would guess there probably won't be traditional fishing if you can just kill the fish directly.

Gameplay does look easy. Hopefully it scales up from those early enemies. Aren't we supposed to see a 4k version for NX though? Was what we saw NX or WiiU?
Open world games used to work better when every one didn't have to one-up the previous title in terms of world size just for e-peen. This game in particular seems to have an absurdly large world. Of course it would be hard to make it not seem empty when they have that much space to fill. Arkham knight nailed this aspect. The city was big enough to be impressive, and small enough to avoid tediousness, and they gave you multiple fast, fun ways to get around without needing fast travel. I can see stuff like the physics and puzzle dungeons keeping this game fun, but I don't think showing 10+ hours of the empty overworld did it many favors.

Well, North America was on a kind of post apocalyptic scenario when the first settlers came because the natives got wiped out by small pox, so yeah, it must have felt pretty empty aside from wild life.
That's why USA and Brazil are so damn big in terms of territory, because it was empty.
But the US got the best america has to offer, I have to admit it. It has all kinds of climates, landscapes, it pleases everyone. Brazil is big but it is pretty bland.
>>341542758
You haven't proven anyone wrong. Nobody is going to buy this shit except Nintendrones.
Looks great. Watching the gameplay it seems to address a lot of the issues I had with Skyrim. Of course in the end like any Zelda game it will all come down to dungeon quality so we cant judge it yet. One upping TP dungeons will be hard.
>>341522904
It looks like it really wants to be dragon's dogma, but with shallower combat and inferior graphics. In its defense, it will probably have a more homey in-between world and a few more compelling characters.

Yeah, just like the numerous Splatoon threads that used to pop up here. Remember how many millions that game sold?

They weren't empty at all, both the US and Brazil were filled with wild life, vegetation and tribal societies, but settlers basically killed and burned everything.
If anything, they made it emptier.

It's sad as fuck, familia. I want to play this game too, but acting like it's the second coming of Christ is pathetic.
Besides, you will all hate it when it comes out and start claiming Skyward Sword is an unsung masterpiece, as per usual. It's not even worth arguing about.
>>341542758
Stop feeding the troll, stupid.
>>341543129
Uh yeah like 4 million. Which is insanely successful for a new IP on a failing system.
>>341542268
Do you understand how rendering works? It doesn't matter how big a world is, it will un-render anything that is past a certain point. I don't think you have ever played Fable 2 though, because it had pretty damn large areas rendered and ran fine.

Where did I lie faggot?
http://media.nintendo.com/e3/e3-assets/images/games/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-wii-u/screenshots/screenshot_3-768.jpg
What's funny is the screenshot that you keep linking to is a cherry picked picture that stands out from the others. It's a photography trick too because you see how far away they are from the grass and trees. View the image at full image or more zoom and see how shit the textures are. They have all the trees distant and the game adds fog to cover up the terrible textures while saturating it to make it seem colorful. You are lying to yourself if you think that is how a game should look in 2017
How you gonna challenge yourself /v/?

Not gonna wear clothes at all in my first playthrough. Gonna need some spicy food for cold parts, and not get hit by strong enemies.

Splatoon outsold bloodborne

Several?
>yfw you realize Splatoon has literally sold twice as much as Bloodborne
>>341543312
It hasn't even broken 2 million. You drones sure are desperate, huh.
>>341543280
Literally the only logical complaints ive seen are the outdated graphics, which most people shoul come to expect considering its on the fucking wii u.
Aaside from that, what, it borrows elements for different games? How is that a negative aspet if its well implemented and works well with the game?
>>341543280
>Skyward Sword is an unsung masterpiece
But... this is true.
>>341543362
You're not including the physics and animation.
Fable has an extremely static world
>>341538056
I'm 100% behind you on your general feelings of cautious optimism.
If you allow me to be a devil's advocate
>It looks 5 years old visually
It's also running on hardware that was outdated when it was new. WiiU games were never sold on their graphical prowess. Waddayagonnado.
>Empty as fuck/still had mad pop-in
I think "empty" would be a valid complaint if this was literally any other game, where grass is merely a graphical flourish and trees are immutable landmarks. In this game, you can interact with literally everything, and there's secrets everywhere. Also moblin camps literally once every 50 in-game meters or so. Even in the relatively tiny, empty area devoid of humans on the E3 show floor, they still managed to pull out an entertaining 10+ solid hours out of it. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
As far as pop-in, it'll probably be an issue, but the game's still nine months out, they're probably going to spend at least six months of that optimizing the FUCK out of it. I'm sure it'll run fine.
>the monsters seem to almost all die in 1 hit.
Well that's just demonstrably false. Even the basic moblins take a good four/five hits, and they're the weakest enemies in the game
>The puzzles in the shrines were so basic
It's still the starting area so of course the starting puzzles will be simple, and the shrines are more glorified tutorial zones than anything. Also the shrines aren't the dungeons, which there will be.
>>341543129
At least 4 million. What were you going for with this?
>>341538056
i feel the exact same way.
what has me reaaaally worried is the difficulty one.
i hope that the bad guys get better and better as the game progresses, or the bosses or something.
and i don`t mean artificial difficulty like they are the same but with infinite healthbars and to 1000X damage per hit, but make agressive and sneaky enemies that require strategy to defeat.
i`m sure they'll deliver incredible dungeons, with a great level of detail.
i can't wait for the reveal of the NX to see where i'm going to play this apparently awesome game.
>>341543619
Copies shipped =/= amount sold
Go back to school.
>>341542027
People still talk about most Zelda games
>>341543180
They sure did, but I was talking about people, even the tribal ones, they weren't so big.
It's not like Incas, Aztecas and Mayans.
But I can tell you, it wasn't that crowded even with everything.
>>341526123
It was confirmed that you can skip all the story and go straight to the final boss if you want.
By your definitiion it makes the game a sandbox.
>>341543541
What about the shallow combat, even the witcher wasn't this bland.
>>341543362
The game is runnidng on hardware weaker than the ps3. Its pretty impressive. Of course gaames today far outclass it I up from a txechnical standpoint but for what its worth I think its serviceable
>>341543513

You forgot to include that part, Nintendrone. The game sold like shit in the states.
>>341542276
https://youtu.be/FY0i9OL96-E
Probably the best of what we are going to see for a while but the colors are still closer to the e3 teaser.
Also as for enemies dying in one hit, its the starting area of the game and even then weve seen minibosses oneshot an unupgraded link.

I was never wrong. I said the game sold like shit, and I was right.
>>341543386
>How you gonna challenge yourself /v/?
If the game is not challenging I'm simply going to pass. As much as I used to love Zelda, it's gotten far too easy as I've grown older to the point I get bored halfway through the game. With no obstacles it's just going to turn into a walking simulator on a massive scale.
>>341544293
No shit you fucking dumb nigger. The game never broke 2 million sales, which is what I said before.
This game will be no different, aka nobody gives a shit about Zelda games anymore. You're all pathetic. End of story.
>>341544408
Holy shit you're fucking furious. You can't even accept facts so you can protect your ego.

E-marketing involving social media is the most inconsistent way of predicting sales and can fuck companies over if they think it can. Literally any other type of media for advertising can find a better correlation. Searching for your product on social media and seeing it get mentioned 750,000 times doesn't mean that 750,000 people are going to be buying your game. Many of those mentions are your own marketers. Many are journalism. Many are the same people posting multiple times. Many are negative. Many are positive. Many are just sharing because it's cool. Many are just sharing because they are bots. Many because they are going to buy. Many because the aren't going to buy. Meek Mill won best rap album of the year despite it being complete garbage because the Billboard awards are based on social media mentions. Do you get my point?
So maybe instead of being a dumbshit 15 year old trying to talk big on a Chinese image board, realize you could potentially be talking to someone who is about to graduate in half a year with a degree in Marketing. Fucking retard.

Wasnt bad but it wasnt 10/10 either was it
>>341543362
In addition to >>341543602
Even the large areas in Fable II had a shit ton more fog. All the better looking areas were in smaller more manageable clusters
This just in: Link faceplants hilariously when his shield breaks mid-surf.
