there are some crazy girls out there in the wild.

Edit: spoiler warning.

What exactly are mature gameplay mechanics?

oh my, this video is great

does a really good job of showing off the diversity of the landscapes

and dat grass.....

 

[gamerMan]

Jim is on stupid mode and has been for months, I fully expect him to shit the bed, not that his stupidity will make the game less enjoyable for me, can't wait to have the switch on my hands.

Yah if it's morally okay to pirate Nintendo stuff, it's just slippery slope to saying it's morally okay to lay a wet fart on a well received Nintendo's game.

Edge magazine gave BOTW 10/10. Nice.

HZD got 9/10.

 

[Mirand]

The part where you're dismounted in the marsh and the horse swims back to land. Is that a video game first?

 

[Chezzymann]

Was the No Man's Sky hype really that big? I honestly didn't hear much about it.

All I know is that every time some new info was revealed there was a thread with thousands of posts and on Reddit the subreddit had balooned to about 150,000 before release

The whole horse sequence at 6:30 and onwards was truly fantastic. Amazing AI.

It was probably bigger than I'm giving it credit for, I just personally didn't have much exposure to the hype outside of a few GAF threads.

Also noticed the horse shakes off the water after getting out

Wowowow!! That mounted combat is Mount & Blade tier fun. BoW, best pc game of the decade :]

This game looks truly gorgeous at night time.

that was in regards to Nintendo's statement about the joy con issue

 

[SinCityAssassin]

the lack of music is really bugging me

It's ambience music with more involved pieces in various areas. You'll probably hear more tracks in different areas once the embargo lifts and they get out of the Plateau.

This video was great. Very nice variation of different locations, enemied and weather without spoiling anything.
The framedrop you can see is annoying...

 

[brandonh83]

I'm sorry but horses being able to swim in a videogame is some next-gen shit. Nioh can't even swim.

From 6:30 to 7:00 I mean I can't believe I'm seeing this shit in a game.

 

[LowParry]

March is just fucking crazy. Starting with Zelda, then Mass Effect, then Persona 5 (yes, April, I know). And after those three, it's a choice of Horizon and/or Nier. Then to tide over those, June hits with Tekken 7 and Stormblood. How do I hold all these games?



These previews are seriously killing me though. Need the game now.

 

[sappyday]

I'm sorry but horses being able to swim in a videogame is some next-gen shit. Nioh can't even swim.

Or in FFXV

 

[phanphare]

this animation was really cute

 

[Flying Toaster]

Yeah but the no horse armor... come on that was two generations ago. One step forward two steps back.

In all seriousness the physics and environment of this game have me hyped.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Perfect GIF for Nintendo Direct announcements.

 

[Enduin]

You know what would be some real next level shit? Riding your horse off a cliff and then being able to use the glider to sail you both down.

 

[Deckard Chapel]

Also noticed the horse shakes off the water after getting out

The team who spent all that time modelling and animating the animals/wildlife in this game obviously did a TON of research on the subject.

I would happily pay for a making-of documentary on Blu-ray.

Happily.

 

[LowParry]

Or in FFXV

Didn't chocobos let you swim over watered areas?

 

[Soriku]

Or in FFXV

You can take a chocobo through water actually...

more like a side step

;p

You can craft tools and saddles for your horse, actually. the Rider Link amiibo specifically gives you material for it, if not an actual saddle. It's technically Armor :V

 

[Omnistalgic]

The weapon breaking thing seems meh to me though, that's a small gripe I have. I want to grow attached to my favorite weapons and iconic tools (grappling hook, metal boots)

Seems like this may be lost with flipping weapons around like baseball cards. Not sure I'm feeling it. Some of the previews says it encourages you to try everything but that's not how I play. I used like 4 weapons in Bloodborne lol, I like to use my favorites over and over, not try everything out. I do hope there's some rare repairable weapons & items, even if they are super hard to discover.

 

[GregLombardi]

So is Jimquisition going to 4.5 / 10 this game just to up his hits?

 

[JonnyKong]

Perfect GIF for Nintendo Direct announcements.

I LOVE the question marks quickly appearing above the enemies heads before they're blown up, it really makes the gif.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Touche!

We need the 7.9 score back.

there are some tools in your arsenal that don't degrade like the bombs

It won't be for hits, the site has no ads. It's funded entirely through patreon.

 

[Servbot24]

"He's telling it like it is!" generally equates me to getting the fuck away from the person in question

 

[KLoWn]

the lack of music is really bugging me

Funny. It was the music that bugged me when it started playing. I'm really not a fan of that plink plonk track that starts playing when he roams the world.

 

[phanphare]

watch jim give it a 10/10

 

[Flying Toaster]

So is Jimquisition going to 4.5 / 10 this game just to up his hits?

I doubt it. Dude can have some hardcore haters but he has never had a review score I have disagreed with. He does recognize greatness.

 

[arlucool]

I will catch a Stag and I will ride him.

One can only hope the mechanic it's there! The only footage I've seen of someone attempting it, he/she got thrown off inmediately; granted, I have seen that happen when trying to mount wild horses too.

The NPC mentioned Zora! And he said something about "fin"...

What exactly are mature gameplay mechanics?

I think he means in the sense that it's highly mechanical and appears to be balanced with experienced players in mind.

 

[Coffinhal]

ok

 

[AddiF]

Every time I see the Chuchu jelly... I think of Gamespot. Those eyes. 10/10 confirmed?

Ps. That horse in the water is amazingly adorable

 

[Flying Toaster]

I am looking forward to the controls. What I have read about them everyone has stated that they are more advanced than previous entries.

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't an unbreakable item for each category. I can't see stuff like the Master Sword or an iconic item like the megaton hammer (This isn't a spoiler, I'm just throwing out a hypothetical "super" hammer weapon) ever breaking.

 

[FloweryMarston]

jim sterling in reviews != jim sterling in jimquisition. He will most likely love the game
