There are so may biased opinions and poor arguments surrounding this game because of the hype that it's really annoying. There seems to be a level of scrutiny of Breath of the Wild that I do not remember recently given to other big titles. For instance, had Final Fantasy XV had the same amount of scrutiny related to the graphics, gameplay, and voice acting, the game would have been critically panned yet FFXV reviewed >80. Witcher 3 had performance issues as well as launch, and it's combat system is what it is. Anyone remember GTA V PS3/360's performance? I feel bad that some gamers miss out on some amazing experiences with games because they are compelled to not like a hyped game that isn't from their "team".
These criticisms don't really apply to me. Boo hoo the graphics aren't the same as Horizon, that must mean every game on the ps3 and below is worse than Horizon.
I feel like this is has happened for every major release of a game for the past 30 years.There are so may biased opinions and poor arguments surrounding this game because of the hype that it's really annoying.

Breath of the Wild has barely been reviewed yet, let's wait to see if it actually gets critically panned before complaining.
Holy shit @juexvideo's tease.

After putting 20+ hours into Final Fantasy XV, it should have been panned a lot more than it was. The game is honestly pretty bad.
i don't know where you were in the lead up to ffxv but literally every thread was people shitting on the graphics, the voice acting, the gameplay (hold to win) etc.
It was pretty obviously a 4/10 at most for me. I hated the balancing so much. The side quests were by far the worst of the JRPGs I've played this gen and had no interesting aspect to them. It was lacking in good QoL. The animations got in the way of gameplay, stamina doesn't offer anything interesting. The world is flat.
Just infuriating how poorly designed that game is. Total mess.
If you die in Zelda, does it simply load from your last save or is there some basic auto-saving going on as well?
Actual question for the thread - how does saving work in this game? With so many deaths, it seems like you'd want to manually save before entering a perceived difficult area. Sometimes in games like Fallout I find myself over-saving after beating a small batch of bandits.

There's autosaving and manual saving.
I hate to say it but I might reduce my anticipated score too.
People like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/5wkr91/warning_sony_shill_site_dualshockers_will_give/
Will be bringing the score down in a big way.

The Wii U version can be seen on Youtube. Are links allowed?

Anybody who have a chance to play this game, does it give you an option to sit anywhere?
I just want to sit in the tall grass area and look at sky. Just want to enjoy nature![]()
Link?
I'm hoping people properly read the arguments and justifications critics give regardless of the score (I'm expecting a 7-10 range) to see where one personally weighs certain aspects.
Reading comprehension and controlling knee-jerk reactions is a rare sight on the Internet, though.

Put that in the spoiler thread.
He's in the game, yeah.
That site (in the link) gave No Mans Sky a perfect score apparently - instantly for me it loses credibility.
Only for major characters in some situations.Done!
By the way, i haven't seen a whole lot of footage with NPCs talking yet, but is there any voice acting at all in here?

Gameplay footage also debunks that voice acting is only in cutscenes, there are some sequences where it's present.
I have to say I did not see that much complaining about The Witcher 3. But that's also because I'm not as interested in the game so I don't read much about it. Perhaps you are on the same boat? FFXV has been criticized to hell and back. Maybe not to the extent of BOTW but that's also because I didn't read as many impressions.There are so may biased opinions and poor arguments surrounding this game because of the hype that it's really annoying.

In short, your interest in a game dictates how much you want to read on it. And you will be exposed to more opinions. You need to readjust your expectations too. It's a game after all, it won't be perfect.
Ah well, it doesn't really surprise me. Full voice acting for all NPCs would have been awesome, but at the end of the day it IS a Zelda game.![]()

A game that can be played at a 10*22 pixels resolution and monochromatic without sound can't be perfect, it not even a real game!|...]Yeah, there are few perfect games (like Tetris)|...]
But it's sort of got that Minecraft "it-factor" of allowing a lot of experimentation particularly with physics. I have a feeling youtube videos could make this one more popular than previous entries.

Link?
Basically, some French website is hinting that BotW will receive their first perfect score since Wind Waker.https://twitter.com/JVCom/status/836531415739162625
They're referring to the event from 14 years ago, when they reviewed Wind Waker and gave their one and only perfect score.
Needless to say, their forums are in shamble right now.
I like it and think it's better this way. Nier Automata is doing it too. I imagine it would take forever to give every single NPC full voice acting, especially in a huge game like this. Limiting it to just the major characters lets you get your voice acting for the important stuff, but they can still let you talk to everyone else without having to worry about increased costs or even delaying the game further.
Certainly better than say something like FFXV, where the majority of their NPCs are just window dressing.
Isn't Dualshockers a Playstation fansite?
Exactly. I've seen it happen often enough that I feel that mainstream gamers are just more interested in looking for a game that looks interesting or enjoyable than anything else, even if graphics are important to them, which it really is for most people, myself includedOh I agree. Visuals are just one way to get people interested and to take that closer look. Games can do it on the basis of gameplay as well, and generate buzz and word of mouth that gets mainstream gamers and casuals interested.
That said, Zelda is a bit tougher there as it's never been the most accessible game gameplay wise, and BOTW seems less so than recent entries with weapon degradation, supposedly being a fair bit more difficulty than other 3D Zeldas etc. So time will tell their how it does after the diehards are done with it.
DS is certainly on meta...DualShockers isn't even on Metacritic, why are people worried about their review bringing BotW down?

And they review everything. You guys are starting to sound a like like the people in Horizon thread with the US gamer 5/10 review.
It sucks, but not everyone is going to see things how we do. All there is to it.
