Agreed. Congrats to Zelda and Nintendo really, completely exceeded my expectations.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is IGN's Game of the Show for E3 2016

I'd be surprised if they would even need to make it a quest. Given their focus on discovery and crafting, there are likely some usable materials (if it is a meteorite at all, of course).

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
hahaha
Those are fair criticisms, but both of the complaints you've named there might not even be a part of the final game. You are making those judgements based upon a small bit of the game modified for demo purposes to an audience that had never previously played or seen it before. The English VA for all the NPC's might not be implemented yet. That's entirely likely.

Hmh, was my personal game of the show, too. That wait now, though...
Am i the only one seeing an asian Jon Snow in this picture?

good with gravy
It's definitely about time and money... fully voicing all dialogue in multiple languages is extremely expensive.
I personally dony mind reading.
The less cutscenes the better too.

Deserved. The first open world Zelda that looks amazing, even on the Wii U. Lets just hope the story holds up.
Very much deserved
I was skeptical going into this year's E3 about Zelda, but Nintendo completely blew away my expectations.
I hope we get some SSX style contests in game.
My head played Tricky while watching that gif.
For a moment I thought TwoFace was played by the same actor who plays Jaime Lannister. He's not.
Wow! Even PC Gamer put up an article talking about Breath of the Wild.

I don't know... this feels like PC Gamer is patting PC Gaming on the back for making Zelda good.
It kinda does but it's the fact they even made the article in the first place and are offering praise, even if some of it is self-serving. I don't recall them doing that with games that completely console based before. I think it's another example of just how much the game stood out and grabbed people's attention.

Aye, wasn't IGN's game of the year last year Star Wars: Battlefront?

While correct in many aspects they also fail to mention how many of those games they presented have vastly inferior game feel to Zelda. It's also a tonally snobbish article when it could have been a little more intellectual like I expect from that site.
I love deus ex and system shock 2, but they don't feel nearly as good to play as a Zelda game's innumerable game feel tricks.
Your post is also tonally snobbish.
Yeah but I don't think anyone really believed at the time that the makers of Battlefield would make the decisions they ultimately did in the end with that game. It was impressive at the time. I'd argue it still is to a degree but it's lacking a significant amount of depth. That and other decisions killed its community. I don't think IGN was wrong to pick it. Then again everyone was riding that Star Wars high last year.

I find Game of the Show awards mostly pointless. Evolve was one of the winningest games that I can recall and BOY that game was dire.

Perhaps I should reframe myself, I don't think games should frame their superiority in terms of the platform they are in. Deus Ex was a good game because of the people, and I think this article ignores that in favor of the platform itself.

89.
Expectations will be higher to justify the new console, it is simultaneously on new hardware and old hardware at once, a lot of the review will be "But is the NX actually good?", and some people just won't like it. Games are subjective experiences, it could just rate poorly. You change a bunch of conventions and people who like those conventions are going to feel left out of the cold.
this game looks actually good though

If it's constantly the same quality of intrigue, mechanical pay off, fun dialogue and overall complexity ramp up as we've seen from the shrines? It's going to be 97, probably one of the highest rated games of all time.

Zelda does seem far more appealing to me than Battlefront. Still seems lacking compared to Horizon but that may just be the hardware making it look dated.

Evolve did, too! At least it demoed extremely well when neither team had any idea what they were doing. The second a barely competent monster player gets involved, though, they had all the advantages and that game fell apart like Batman when someone says his mom's name.
I was thinking Mark Cerny.

I dunno about scores, but I think this game has a legitimate chance of knocking OoT off the GOAT pedestal.
That's a totally legit argument to make.
93, Polygon with the lowest score because you can't choose a female Link and they didn't know how to turn on the console.
I'm going with a 95-100 range.

95-98 if it has a lot of towns
90-92 if it has just one big town ala wind waker
90-92 if it has just one big town ala wind waker
i remember a couple of wii u games reviews, having a lower score just for being a wii u game, lol
fuckk, this is true

I still think there was a conspiracy theory for that one. Just, how???

Console Zelda games tend to review very well. Not even the long beginnings hurt twilight princess or skyward sword when it came to reviews. Reviewers are a bit more critical now days but I believe this Zelda game will score comfortably above a 95.

It's also an ignorant one. Tools are meaningless without beings to use them; to infuse them with creativity and ingenuity. This is a fact, the very definition of a tool. A platform is a tool, while some credit should go to the tool, it is vastly more important to highlight the people and notice that Zelda is taking influence from other people. I like that they mention games, but they imply that those games are amazing because of the tool and not the people. That is where I take issue with the article. That and Zelda has more tricks up its sleeve for how the game feels which could really turn people off who expect the same out of stuff like Deus Ex or System Shock 2 which were well below the standard of game feel in their time.
Beyond that, I rather like the article actually and I hope for a potentially deeper analysis of the game when it launches. It highlights several interacting elements and interactions that are shared by other games but combined in Zelda. Perhaps I'm expecting too much.

Man, that PC Gamer article is right on the money.
I meant your argument against their bias was totally legit.
