Yes, weapons next! Hopefully some weapons can't be broke. Talk about rupee usage too.

I'm not sure I've seen any Rupees at all yet, nor does there seem to be a counter/wallet on screen.

 

[DarthButcher]

Chiko's back. BURNINATION CONFIRMED!

 

[Bony Manifesto]

A thought: Not sure if playing that jingle every time you pick up an item is such a good idea in a game where there's so many items to pick up.

 

[Brinbe]

Good fresh start with a new thread. Chiko is the best

 

[Creamium]

Game of the Show.

Yep, Horizon dethroned. I can understand the amount of time they decided to give to this game now. It's huge and there's so much to show and talk about.

 

[Pandy]

And I thought the Pokemon complaints were going to be the most embarrassing thing in the thread.

Destroyer of Worlds has returned.

 

[Roo]

I sort of wish they would stop talking, they are just saying the same information over and over again. Information that anyone watching 5 minutes in can pick up.
x.x.....

there's a mute button..

 

[John Kowalski]

is the stream choppy for everyone else or just me?

 

[pfr]

The framerate definitely is hitchy at times, it is not just the stream. Noticed it especially in the beginning: on the mountain looking at the waterfall it was very choppy, and other times later as well. Well there's still time to optimize, but this will not be a the smoothest of games I guess, somewhat expect due to the nature of it all.

That said, this is by far the most excited I've ever been for a Zelda game, all of it looks amazing.

 

[Darryl M R]

Why was the other thread buried? Just tuning back into the stream now.

 

[morthbound]

Holy crap! Over 140,000 people are watching Nintendo's twitch stream.

 

[Astral Dog]

Bump. New thread, check the warning in the OP and stop embarrassing yourselves.

what the...

 

[rhandino]

Combat!

 

[Hazzuh]

I really liked what I saw of the shrines. For mini-dungeon trials they're pretty well designed and you get to unlock cool accessories and stuff. I wonder if we'll get a look at a real dungeon this E3. Maybe not? Very curious about seeing a real dungeon + boss...

If there are really only 4 dungeons like people have been saying then they should be cautious showing them off.

 

[tkscz]

For everyone

 

[antonz]

Liking what I see with the shrines and Audrey made sure to point out the shrines get more complex as you progress so that is great news

 

[serenewarfare]

These mini dungeons seem a bit too mini to me. Hope the later ones are a bit longer and at least take 15-20 minutes to complete.

They did say on the stream that these early shrines are more of just an intro to the various items and mechanics and as you get further through them they get more complex and challenging.

 

[foxuzamaki]

My hope is that even though there may be a limited number of large dungeons, there are still a lot of bosses. Shrines look great though, should be a great addition to the series to mix up puzzles and visuals.

If we're going by what they said at E32014, then you will be running into bosses on the field just traveling around.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

and who is the target audience for Pokemon but little kids

Don't you come for me, sir or I'll force you to play more RE7

 

[DarthButcher]

Yep, Horizon dethroned. I can understand the amount of time they decided to give to this game now. It's huge and there's so much to show and talk about.

Horizon is probably my second favorite game showed so far and it's odd how similar it is turning out to be to this Zelda.

 

[Plinko]

Monster Hunter esque combat.

 

[Laevateinn]

Combat is nuts in this game.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Bloodborne combat animations

 

[weevles]

Chiko is the best lol. "We gonna need to raid somebody's house".

 

[Beats]

What do the yellow hearts mean?

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'm not sure I've seen any Rupees at all yet, nor does there seem to be a counter/wallet on screen.

Someone said they saw a rupee counter in the inventory screens.

 

[GhostTrick]

Thanks for the answers guys ! Did they said anything about towns ???

 

[weekev]

Yeah I don't think we're getting to see dungeons till the NX reveal. Loving what they have shown so far though. Looks amazing and the sense of exploration looks incredible. Game of the show by some way.

 

[Kadin]

For everyone

Perfectly fine for me on Twitch

 

[Luigi87]

Link with a spear. This pleases me.

RAID ALL THE BOKOBLINS!

 

[duckroll]

My hope is that even though there may be a limited number of large dungeons, there are still a lot of bosses. Shrines look great though, should be a great addition to the series to mix up puzzles and visuals.

I don't really need more bosses. Just memorable ones. 8-10 are more than enough, even if this is a 50-100 hour game, as long as each one bookends a major dungeon that feels really unique and special.

If there are really only 4 dungeons like people have been saying then they should be cautious showing them off.

4 dungeons? What? No way. What is this, Wind Waker 2?

 

[AdanVC]

Why a new threa----- oh. Come on, guys : /

Anyways, this game. THIS. FFFFF. GAME. Has exceeded my expectations so far on every single aspect. I simply cannot wait to dive into this world and spend 2929380 hours in it. Loving that there's no handholding, no forceful tutorials, no long intros. Just a few backstory and you're free to go whatever you want and discover stuff and characters on the go. Graphics of course are not the best thing ever but they are beautiful enough to stand on it's own. Like Wind Waker meets Studio Ghibli. I think I already liked this E3 from Nintendo way more than last year.

Except the Pokémon stuff at the beginning since I'm not much into Pokémon anymore.

 

[Formless]

Chiko's awesome and don't give a shit.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Crazy that all they are doing has absolutely nothing with the story to do.

It's all side quest stuff.

This game is huge.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Cooking gives you upgraded yellow hearts!

 

[BitStyle]

Bump. New thread, check the warning in the OP and stop embarrassing yourselves.

Thank you for this.

On topic: Healing items seem too frequent and exploitable. Hopefully they'll cull the numbers in hero mode (if not rendering it practically useless with one-hit death).

 

[SweetDonuts]

Lol I love that she just shuts people down

 

[Stumpokapow]

It wasn't really that bad. I've seen things like this worse in hundreds of threads on GAF. Why single this one out? Plus it was already dying out when you locked it.

She wasn't negotiating with you, she was telling you, but no I don't think it's appropriate to tell women they should put up with sexual harassment because it isn't that bad, there's worse sexual harassment anywhere, and anyway the men were eventually going to stop it.

 

[Aeana]

What do the yellow hearts mean?

They're temporary, granted by the food.

 

[Busaiku]

Burning the world down.

 

[Francokid1]

I wish the eating/healing wasn't instant. In Skyward Sword, the potions were used in real time while in combat. That was a lot better for creating tension when you are low hp.

 

[Flare]

They did say on the stream that these early shrines are more of just an intro to the various items and mechanics and as you get further through them they get more complex and challenging.

Oh that's great! Thanks, watching without audio atm.

 

[Boy Wander]

There's a reason why Ninty have gone all in on Zelda - this game deserves it's time in the spotlight from what I've seen so far.

 

[Revven]

What the hell is up with Nintendo's stream and the framerate though? I know for sure because they're replaying a lot of footage on IGN's stream and it looks much smoother.

It's Youtube's stream, Nintendo's Twitch stream is perfectly smooth.

 

[chadboban]

chico is so freaking charming

 

[Gentleman Jack]

What do the yellow hearts mean?

Looks like a temporary buff in max hearts from the kebab she ate earlier.

 

[DarthButcher]

Thanks for the answers guys ! Did they said anything about towns ???

They're only showing off the plateau for now which Aunoma said is less than 1% of the full map.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

So the shrines are all stasis pods for Sheikah?

Sweet. Also the incorporating the teardrop symbol of the Sheikah Eye into the upgrade symbol was design genius.

 

[Altazor]

Chiko - raiding people's houses, burning everything down.

That lady is hardcore.

Oh, and the weapons have very different movesets, lovely!

 

[Reszo]

Alright i think that's enough for me. Got some good gameplay. Getting just a tid bit boring now. Can't wait to get my hands on it though.
