The Edge 10/10 score is only the first of many. Get used to it.
For people who've listened to it, how spoilery is Gamexplain's discussion? I don't want to know about rushing to the final boss etc, can't believe they'd put that in.
That was common knowledge though. They revealed that at E3 last year that you can rush straight to the final boss after getting off the Plateau.
Man I hope that System of a Down makes another Zelda song...Link, he come to town, come to save the princess zelda!
They don't really say a word other than that.Sure I jut meant I don't want to hear details about it! I'm just curious how spoilery they got and whether it's worth a listen or not.

They have never made one.unless that's the joke
You reviewed the game?
I don't understand these numbers battles anyway, it's Enter the void.
Yeah, thats the joke.
For whatever reason a lot of people said, in the early 2000s, that SoaD made that Zelda song.
On the contrary I think it's great level design because enemies use them. Lizalfos in particular can throw objects really fast at Link. In addition, fire arrows are limited so you may want to conserve them if you can. Thus a scenario is saying don't rushing blindly and think creatively. Not to mention this scenario rewards understanding the sound mechanics and enemy mechanics. Also there's still some enemies around so you still have to kill them for the reward in the end.
Also RE4 loves Explosive barrels for good reason. A well placed Barrel is very satisfying to use.
well you need to have a fire arrow or bomb arrow, something incendiary. but also they aren;t there for NO reason. enemies will lift them up and chuck them at you from a safe distance. I mean, I sort of feel you, but also feel like theyre not going to be as ubiquitous as youre worried about

It's going to have a couple of stand out bad reviews.
There are two categories of bad reviews. The legitimate ones where the reviewer didn't like the game, and clickbait ones where the text indicate a glowing review but there's a low score at the end.

Yeah i remember. Think it was the filename on limewire or kazaa or something that made people think it.
You can pet doggos.
Instant GOTY.

Man these guys rip into Horizon a lot when comparing it to Zelda. Bad luck to be the open world game that comes out immediately before open world Zelda I guess.
Remember Horizon's is GG first outing. This is there Uncharted-like starting point, and it's a fantastic starting point.Man these guys rip into Horizon a lot when comparing it to Zelda. Bad luck to be the open world game that comes out immediately before open world Zelda I guess.

Horizon as good as it is, is really just amazing combat with a lot of well done systems we've seen before. Zelda is breaking new ground in a lot of ways, to journalist in gaming, that's always going to be more exciting. I'm listening now, and they basically say Horizon, as good as it is, has potential to be so much greater.
For a starting point, that's just an amazing, that it's even in the same breath as something like Zelda.
Yeah, they keep just talking about wasted potential and how things could have been handled better, this just seems to be glowing because Zelda is fresher though, the other guy just loves emergent gameplay however, he's definitely gonna be more high on Zelda with it's more open gameplay. Either way, I'm sure people across the globe are going to prefer one over the other. He literally said "I really liked Horizon, I think a bunch of people should play, there's just potential there that they couldn't quite reach". The other guy was pretty hard on it though. Regardless, critics have already spoken, it's got a ton of perfect scores already, people are loving Aloy, a good example, I love tape logs, that wouldn't be a negative to me at all, especially if the world-story is interesting.Nothing against Horizon, but I'm pretty sure the only reason it's in the same breath as Zelda on this podcast in particular is because they just reviewed the game. The comparisons aren't favorable.
The comparisons with Horizon shouldn't even be made in the first place. If you're comparing Horizon to anything it should be something like The Witcher 3. If you're comparing anything to Zelda it should be something like Metal Gear Solid V.
I see nothing wrong with making comparisons, but it's pretty sad to see that people can't just appreciate that two fantastic games are coming out very close to each other and leave it at that. Using an open world, they both seek to achieve different things. There's little Horizon should have to learn from Zelda and vice versa, but as far as GAF goes, the comparisons for the most part seem to amount to little more than thinly veiled console war rhetoric. Either way, can't wait to pick up both next week.
I think the comparisons from GAF are a bit annoying, but if you're a journalist who just reviewed both games, it's going to be damn hard to separate the two. The Waypoint podcast is the first time I actually found a discussion about comparing and contrasting both games to be interesting.
Getting even to the "tens"

Sure, I get that and I think it's fair. On the other hand, on GAF, I know for a fact that the majority of the people making the comparisons to shit on one game or the either have likely not played either game and were probably never going to play both of them either.
Holy shit, what? If that's true they should be ashamed for releasing it in that state honestly.
Nahh no one here would do thisI know for a fact that the majority of the people making the comparisons to shit on one game or the either have likely not played either game and were probably never going to play both of them either.
yeah, the things Patrick? are talking about are things I love in gaming. Like you can go anywhere, you can figure things out for yourself, the puzzles etc...The comparisons with Horizon shouldn't even be made in the first place.

Glad to see that they're trying to dethrone OoT, didn't think they'd go as far as to dethrone it's 16fps though :/Apparently the Edge review says the framerate can get even worse in the WiiU version... Getting even to the "tens"
For some reason I though this game would be smoother on the WiiU, since it was originally developed for, but Nintendo probably decided to push the Switch to the detriment of the WiiU.
Is just one outlet, will wait for other, but it's not a good sign

Then why does it have a fucking ten? A game with not meeting its target frame rate is not a perfect game. Is there a quote somewhere?

Whatever you do, don't look at the reviews for Ocarina of Time.
Are you serious? Obviously the frame-drops, and other flaws, are minor. The sum of it's parts is amazing. a 10/10 doesn't mean a game is flawless, it means it's amazing and a gem in the gaming world.Then why does it have a fucking ten?

I'm in the same boat, I just pre-ordered Zelda from BB though, so I'll at least have the game ready for whenever I get a Switch.I promised myself that I wouldn't buy Switch on launch because I always end up regretting buying launch systems when there are so few games released. But I feel my willpower fading... Zelda is my favourite franchise and this previews damn!

lol, I turn 30 on the 26th '-)It feels like time is standing still. I'm turning 30 when this game comes out so I should probably be enjoying the last week of my 20s....
But damn, I just want it to be March 3rd already!
