It is fake until tomorrow morning at 6am Eastern.

I'm disappointed in you. You had a golden opportunity for

The leak is real
The review is fake

Smh

 

[CharminUltra]

I don't get it. I don't remember any pineapples in Zelda...?

 

[takriel]

There's nothing stupid about my posts. I don't see what Zelda's open world does any different to any other open world that makes it open world perfection.

I've heard complaints on this forum that areas are too barren and the world is too big for one.

How about you play it for yourself before being oh so negative about it?

 

[sanstesy]

And, from the few bit I've played, it doesn't really solve the problem. They should have mapped jump to Y, sprint to B and attack to X.

The attack button on X is extremely unintuitive. The only real potential solution would be to map run to L3 and that is also pretty unintuitive as the stamina gauge demands the run button to be pressed rather easily on and off.

Kid Icarus Uprising and Smash Bros. give you multiple control options and lets you map buttons.

Yes, the exception are games only made by Sakurai.

 

[Interfectum]

It is fake until tomorrow morning at 6am Eastern.

You should tweak it slightly so this ultimately ends up being fake.

 

[Platy]

Kotaku put this image up by accident earlier in a FFXV article. Doesn't sound too bad.

BULLSHIT !

...I am pretty sure I saw some "change jump button" option in the menu in a stream ... so you CAN remap one or two buttons xD

 

[Neoweee]

Wonder if other outlets will accidentally give out their scores.

We already know that Giant Bomb is 5/5 just out of how Dan Ryckert has been describing the last week.

 

[Hindl]

Do we know how the game handles the map limits? Is there any invisible wall around the ocean?

Well you use stamina while swimming so they could just make it so the ocean stretches beyond what Link can swim with the maximum possible stamina

 

[Cucurbitacée]

Maybe that a bit spoiler heavy. I can answer, but do everyone else agree (between spoiler tag)?

 

[Pappasman]

Man I can't help but roll my eyes at the type of game, but yeah, "succeeds at everything it sets out to do" does sound promising.

They called FFXV a boy band dress up sim in their review. Its always a little jokey.

 

[Instro]

Known press sneak fuck using underhanded methods to get his review out before the embargo? Shame!

 

[Primethius]

Called a 95 before. Think I'm going to drop it down to 92 after having played Horizon. Different games and all that, but solely on MC grounds, that shows me a raising of standards across the board plus some outliers will probably prevent it from hitting 95.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

C'mon Jason, it's "open-AIR perfection"

 

[Pastry]

Swim until you drown/climb until you fall is my guess.

 

[casey_contra]

Yeah, I'd rather no know tbh... but I guess I'll ask if you think it's well-done.

Life man, huh?

Weren't most of the complaints with Horizon stemming from the open-world formula of the game being tried and true, despite being a new IP? Zelda being a Nintendo-take on the open-world genre with their own design solutions and refinements might address that directly.

 

[Cucurbitacée]

Let me say that normally you won't reach the limit of the world. But with maximum stamina and over-abusing stamina potions you can eventually reach the limit.

 

[correojon]

I´m betting MC 92, I think there are many sites that will give it a low score because technically it´s not up to par with what you see in other consoles.

Well you use stamina while swimming so they could just make it so the ocean stretches beyond what Link can swim with the maximum possible stamina

But if you use a raft?

I suppose what I meant was, having played Horizon, I feel that the 88 MC is actually too low for what I would've pegged the game at given its quality.

In that vein, because Horizon is at 88, I feel my preidciton of Botw being at 95 is slightly too high.

Well...

No way this is hitting 95. Horizon or not. I don't think any game will this generation.

 

[Pif]

Too much perfection 7/10 - IGN

Gold.

 

[Primethius]

No way this is hitting 95. Horizon or not. I don't think any game will this generation.

I don't know, it's definitely a possibility. UC4 was at 94 for a long time before a couple of outlier reviews brought it down.

 

[PancakeBurglar]

Literally one guys opinion, lol.

So salty lol looking forward to the review thread.

 

[Xdrive05]

So Giant Bomb is doing two feature-length quick looks, one of the early game and another one with later game content. So does that mean the first one will go up today and the 2nd one tomorrow?

 

[casey_contra]

Interesting...

Hey, thanks for being informative in these threads while still being really respectful of people's sensitivity to spoilers. I appreciate it!

Dawg don't even visit the review thread or you will have a heart attack from the upcoming reviews praising the shit out of the game.

 

[Vic_Viper]

I can't speak to Horizon, but if you actually thought MGS V and FF XV had meaningful side content (they didn't), you aren't going to have any issues with this game.

MGSV might not have but FFXV was full of extra stuff to do inbetween quests. I hope your just being sarcastic lol....

Nintendo's live tweeting their Zelda GDC conference for anyone curious https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica

You've been doing this for awhile man

 

[skypunch]

I'm not saying the game is bad. It's probably a great game, but some of what I'm reading is so fucking hyperbolic it actually looks delusional and plain hilarious.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yep, a 95 is very possible this generation. Here are the five games I think have a legitimate shot:

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Red Dead Redemption 2
Super Mario Odyssey
The Last of Us Part II
Grand Theft Auto VI

I also think God of War may end up surprising everyone. I believe Cory Barlog has it in him to deliver by far the best game in that series.

So why do you feel the need to continuously take a piss in Zelda threads? Your agenda is getting old

 

[Hindl]

So Giant Bomb is doing two feature-length quick looks, one of the early game and another one with later game content. So does that mean the first one will go up today and the 2nd one tomorrow?

Actually I think it's one quick look, but there will be a very clear demarcation halfway through that says everything from there on out will be stuff from a later save

I´m betting MC 92, I think there are many sites that will give it a low score because technically it´s not up to par with what you see in other consoles.

You may not be able to get a raft to the ocean

Horizon gets 87% at the moment and this specifically because for their high gfx. I don't think we need to place it beside zelda because: it is a different game and zelda is way better.

 

[NSESN]

Mario Odissey can definitely reach 95 imo. SM3DW reached 93 with "it's 3D Land in HD" stigma.

 

[Primethius]

Cool. I'm not really comparing the games themselves nor their quality so...

 

[jonno394]

BOTW as a Zelda 1 map, looks great. Guess they're going to use it as a way to higlight how they built the world map.

 

[Firemind]

I'm not saying the game is bad. It's probably a great game, but some of what I'm reading is so fucking hyperbolic it actually looks delusional and plain hilarious.

Please be not excited.

 

[Cucurbitacée]

No worries, I could appreciate the game by discovering everything by myself. I hope most people will be able to enjoy this satisfaction too.

 

[Astral Dog]

Thats a Sakurai game though

What the fuck? Are you being serious right now?

How odd, video game enthusiasts are well known for their restraint.

Ah, okay. In that case it will definitely be tomorrow. Hopefully up as soon as their review is up!

 

[Orbis]

Very excited to play this on Friday given the positive previews. I'll avoid reading reviews but will check the scores out of curiosity.

Also seeing this on the way home from work has raised the hype somewhat:

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Limited Edition shipped but so far no sign of the Switch... i can see it already coming, i will get the game tomorrow and the console next week on tuesday or so.

 

[phanphare]

have a few minutes, let's catch up on this thread

Kotaku put this image up by accident earlier in a FFXV article. Doesn't sound too bad.

It is, uh, fake.

It is fake until tomorrow morning at 6am Eastern.

well then

this weekend will be fun
