Thanks, that puts it dangerously close to an impulse buy if I see one at a store lol

When the Switch was announced and that first video came out I wasn't super excited for it, but here I am with a pre-order and am now taking off work tomorrow...I got the fever... That hasn't happened to me in a looonnnggg time. So I'm just going to go with it and go head first.

Now how do I complain about how Giant Bomb is biased and hates Nintendo?

 

[mnz]

Oh and the Quick Look is 1h 40min lol

That's it?

Well, that's where their scale ends.

Now how do I complain about how Giant Bomb is biased and hates Nintendo?

EZA gave it a 4.5. Go there for drama, I guess

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Zelda seems to be alright.
I wish I had a Switch a now.

 

[Jintor]

ugh to watch some of this QL footage or to just hold off until tomorrow when I can play the thing? someone make my decisions for me please

 

[Deeku]

i skipped around a bit and probably watched like max 30 seconds lol

frame rate seems iffy tho

 

[Jintor]

jesus. Breath of the Wild was so good it actually improved Dan's prose.

throw your switch in the garbage and start watching kinda funny instead of giant bomb

 

[Catvoca]

Haha, was thinking the same thing. It's a good review!

 

[Hjod]

Are you playing on normal or hard? I'm considering hard after watching some coverage

I'm playing on normal, I just wasn't prepared that the game would punish you that hard, the bigger machines are really dangerous.

I just thought the game would be the usual AAA where you can run through most of the encounters without paying attention.

I'm not saying it's hard, you know like Bloodborne, I was just suprised.

 

[Salarians]

yeah, I'm playing Horizon on normal (about 7-8 hours in I think) and it's been a nice challenge so far

 

[Volotaire]

Hmm, I'm feeling the urge to buy a Switch.

 

[Jintor]

ur the worst

Thanks! I'll probably go Normal. I don't really like being super frustrated on every encounter but I also don't really want to breeze through the game, so that's good to know!

 

[danm999]

Hmm, a Dan review you say?

CTRL+F "METAL GEAR"

Seriously though, really enjoyed Dan's review. He ain't half bad at this writing thing!

 

[Hjod]

So far I've not died any cheap deaths, it's more me screwing up my shots or not dodging in time that kills me. Enjoy .

 

[hamchan]

Just watched Logan. It was amazing.

Still have to finish Yakuza 0. Haven't started Nioh or Horizon yet. Getting Zelda tomorrow. All are apparently amazing.

Everything is amazing.

 

[Dany]

Wow. So hyperbolic in the quick look.

 

[repeater]

OK, so the reviews are out. Let the Zelda cycle begin anew!

 

[wild_fire987]

THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES!

 

[derFeef]

Hmm, I'm feeling the urge to buy a Switch.

Me too. But that will be gone in one week.

 

[Death Metalist]

The return of the king. Can't wait for the Switch and Zelda to arrive.

Nintendo Switch game cartridges taste offensively bad, trust us

Good stuff.

Friday is packed to the gills with content.

 

[Meneses]

Hmm, Dan's hyperbole makes me feel that this will probably resonate much more with people who are nostalgic about Zelda, which I am not at all.

Kinda hard to feel his enthusiasm when i'm just watching regular open world stuff mixed with some cool puzzles.

I'll say as someone who has 0 nostalgia for Zelda the puzzles and world seem rad. I'd pick this up if I had a Wii U/Switch for sure except for that frame rate issue and the fact that I don't have one of those consoles.

I mean have you seen all the other reactions to the game? It's everyone, not just Dan.

 

[Hasney]

God this Zelda QL. I might just get drunk at lunch and let the day fly by so tomorrow comes quicker.

Get the game today, but no Switch to put it in.

 

[repeater]

I wish GB did "Second opinion" sidebars so Jeff could come in and set the internet aflame with a 3/5.

 

[Meneses]

Well, Zelda always gets marked up reviews.

And a lot of reviewers who fawn about the game are people who grew up with Zelda, so it's normal to feel a connection I don't have. The Zelda name by itself doesn't really mean anything to me.

This game seems very polished and charming but it looks like a collection of stuff open world games have been doing for a while, and that kinda puts me off a bit.

 

[Twin Tails]

They do have the ability to add multiple reviews iirc.

Avoid the WiiU version if you're stickler for stable performance. I'm about 40 hours into the game and a lot of the locations chug heavily. Think Blighttown from Dark Souls 1.

I never played a Zelda game (apart from Phantom Hourglass which I hated) and I am enthusiastic about the new one.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I know it's super lame to concern one's self with metacritic scores... but my goodness, Zelda.

Eh. It's got the same score as GTA IV for 360 which is now a generally despised game.

 

[Incandenza]

Holy God damn, those Zelda scores.

Oh, BotW sure sounds like a good time.

 

[Lunar FC]

Geez louise those Zelda scores. Can't wait to read through the review thread and watch as people start ascending.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Goddamn, i guess i picked a good zelda to be my first eh?

That link would have helped! Imma try and remember to vote a few times. It would be great if Dan won this thing.

Got my switch already anyway. Surprisingly large amount of people at the store i went to considering i don't think that it's a prime location.

 

[Dineren]

I can't believe I wasted time signing up for a Taco Bell account to vote for this. Dan better win.

Mine is still like 30 hours from arriving, IF IT EVER SHIPS.
