I have also clicked on the SPOILER thread on accident. I don't mind getting spoiled and have already been there before....but it would suck if someone who visits both threads thinking they are in the spoiler thread and accidentally posts a major spoiler in here. Right now the similar titles makes that really easy.

I love how abstract it is, slowly evolving into more traditional battle music. Can't wait to hear the boss music.
I love it!

Why is zidanelucis bashing the fanbase? I'm reading through replies and I don't get why he's angry.

Maybe I need to hear it in better context, but it says EPIC BATTLE MUSIC and... it's kinda rinky-dink. Like, it's not bad, but I don't get "epic" from it, and it's a far cry from the better battle tracks in the series.
It's fine for like... just battle music while you're out in the field, but I hope the boss tracks are wayyyyyy better than that.
With all due respect, I don't think any of the initial replies amounted to a personal attack. It was you who threw around accusations of insceurity and defense force.

You guys are bullies. John Cena is supposed to be promoting this game. Be like John Cena. B A Star.
Here's a vid with some epic music from the game (no spoilers)
Some people just get really defensive. His reaction to my one word response was pretty funny.

It's the standard battle music that plays when you're fighting enemies. Boss themes are probably much more epic.

Yeah most of the music I've heard from this sounds great, but that battle track was definitely... well, pretty weak and random to me. Fitting for very small, random encounters I guess.

I knew the dynamic piano direction would make for some good stuff but
I didn't know it would be this good.
Where's that GIF where the guy stands up and the GAF logo fades in when you need it?!?
(No, seriously, I love these moments where two posts with opposing opinions come after each other, lol)
What??? It's nice you visit this topic for just saying your opinion. Don't hate of what is better, enjoy both...
Not getting a 10 is normal, it's impossible to get those numbers like years ago. Reviewers has changed and don't wanne give games to much anymore.
But, zelda is still by far the best game out there.

It's just says it's for some enemy encounters. I doubt this is boss music.

Remember all those 10s Tri Force Heroes got for being Zelda?

I dont see it getting a 95, but I wouldn't disregard a site for giving a good game a good score.
Hope I like it! The previews have been glowing and I love what's I've seen.

I want to watch and read these so bad and I know I won't be getting this game anytime soon, but I feel like I'll still remember the footage and when I eventually get to play it, it won't be as magical. But only if I had some video games to occupy my time with. I want them to be a part of my life and I'm not sure what to do in the development side. I don't know what to do.

l wonder if the song that plays in this video is from the game, because it sounds pretty epic:

I know ign gave it a 8.5 and has 73% on metacritic

Well, truth be told, BOTW is the first game I've been dying to play since ME3. That game completely killed my trust in AAA games with all its bullshit and made me feel like I wasted hours of my life replaying the previous games in anticipation. What's worst is that the indie masterpiece Journey, my favourite game of the generation, came out the same time and, later in 2012, the AA game Spec Ops came out and did moral choice a thousand times better than ME3. Ever since, I've refused to allow myself to be hyped and always be suspicious of what the big publishers say, hence why I never got on the NMS bandwagon. The fact that BOTW has made me break this oath is a testament to just how beautiful, surprising, mysterious and incredibly fun it looks.

Just over four days left someone talk me out of freezing myself.
Probably insecure about Zelda getting better previews and possible scores over HZD.
Huh, that's a good idea... Better than staring at a while rocking back and forth anyways.

l don't get it either. He's a Zelda and Nintendo fan yet he seems really mad at Edge giving Zelda a 10 while he's glad Horizon and Nioh got 9s, this is really bizarre will this mystery ever be solved???
I hope some preview will talk about the physic in this game, example from E3 footage for what I mean:
The player is at fault here, clearly. If anything at all this gif shows that the wood cutting is not scripted at all and goes through the physics engine of Zelda. Which is great, so if you're stupid enough to cut the tree the wrong way, like in that gif, then you are bound to die, serves you right!
I think it's getting a 95+.
Also Horizon is at 88.
Also Nioh is very bland janky and boring IMO. It's like playing an off brand knock off souls game
Agreed, I love that it's physics and not some scripted tree lock in bridge crap

Why do people actually make comments like this? It's the laziest and most annoying way to disregard someone's opinion.
"This thing is bad!"
"Actually it is has its merits"
"HERE COMES THE DEFENSE SQUAD".
I guess it comes from people who just want to hate on things and have no intention of being open minded.
You'd only kill yourself
In this video (note SPOILERS) , the guy encounters a rather intimidating looking boss that has a fitting theme.
It's the same go-to argument certain posters make in Off-Topic political discourse, except with gaming it's even more fucking stupid because we should be able to enjoy a multitude of amazing games without needing to play console wars all the time.
yeah it's exceedingly lazy

Oh shit so the Crystal Gems from Steven Universe are the female versions of Gorons O:
scha·den·freu·de
noun
pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.
I'm not really champing at the bit to see it come review day, but I definitely understand the feeling of pleasure derived from seeing someone who's been so up their own ass and condescending about something get shut down and put in their place. That goes for both sides.
