This is like, the cover to a classic fantasy book or something from the 60s. I love it.

Someone hold me.

Legendary cover, I'm going to have to grab a copy of it.

 

[Dystify]

I have a request:

If you put a review here could you please include a quote, link to the review and the score? Makes it much easier for me to update.

Video reviews are fine without a quote.

 

[Aspiring]

It's because Edge is a print magazine so it had to be done earlier to make the print date.

Ah ok fair enough cheers.

 

[LotusHD]

I think it will suffer most from comparisons to Witcher 3s open world but it depends on how many reviewers care/played W3. As I said expecting around 95

If anything, I'm expecting it to be the new standard tbh

 

[ckaneo]

I bet this'll be one of the most talked about games 5 years from now like The Last Of Us, Bloodborne etc

Instant classic.

Im not quite sure Bloodborne belongs on that list

 

[fantomena]

Have reviewers also received Wii U copies?

Im not quite sure Bloodborne belongs on that list

Correct. It's better and wil lbe talked about in 10 years and such.

never forget: Gamers petition for sacking of GameSpot writer who criticised GTAV for misogyny

She gave the game a 9/10.

 

[Gurish]

8 pages without any review, calm down guys

 

[jmaine_ph]

Im not quite sure Bloodborne belongs on that list

It does.

 

[hodgy100]

I just got my WiiU copy through the post guys! Gotta wait till i get home from work

 

[Zedark]

Have reviewers also received Wii U copies?

No.

 

[GodfatherX]

nightmare

Seriously the most disturbing thing I have seen online in a long time

Refusing to even leave the image in my quote so it won't be on new page lol

 

[skypunch]

If anything, I'm expecting it to be the new standard tbh

It won't be. It hardly even has a story.

 

[fierrotlepou]

If the reviews are glowing and if Giant Bomb gives this a 5/5, I'm getting my Switch Saturday.

 

[ckaneo]

It does.

Nah.

 

[takriel]

Scum of the earth right there.

 

[Milennia]

Just went and watched jeffs original gamespot windwaker review for hype

 

[The Last One]

Im not quite sure Bloodborne belongs on that list

It sure does. Best game of this generation so (and by) far

 

[Dystify]

LIVE streams for the game will go up at the same time as the reviews.

Twitch page: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

It won't be. It hardly even has a story.

You're really bad at this.

 

[Majukun]

how much until embargo lifts?

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Im not quite sure Bloodborne belongs on that list

It does. Resident Evil 4, The Last Of Us, Mario Galaxy, Red Dead, Bloodborne, Breath Of The Wild...

Believe.

 

[ionitron]

I just got my WiiU copy through the post guys! Gotta wait till i get home from work

Wha-huh.

There have been people getting copies early right?

 

[Dark Cloud]

I can't wait for the focus to be on the "bad" reviews like every review thread ever lol. Omg this topic is going to be crazy.

 

[LotusHD]

It won't be. It hardly even has a story.

Oh I see.

 

[DecoReturns]

Guys I have a feeling this could be better then Tri-Force Heroes.

Gut feeling.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Im not quite sure Bloodborne belongs on that list

Of course it does, we'll be talking about Bloodborne decades from now.

 

[sazzy]

 

[CEJames]

how much until embargo lifts?

14 minutes

 

[wachel]

It sure does. Best game of this generation so (and by) far

Yep better than most Zelda games in fact. Not all though

 

[kyo2004]

how much until embargo lifts?

13 mins left...

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Scum of the earth right there.

just shows how seriously some people take arbitrary numbers :/

 

[AGoodODST]

It won't be. It hardly even has a story.

What does that have to do with comparisons between an open world?

Anyway, I think Zelda's will be favourably seen alongside The Witcher's. It's interactivity will set it apart.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Nah.

You better get up outta here with that different opinion lol.

 

[jdstorm]

With games reviewing harsher then ever i cant see this getting above 95. You just know 1 or 5 reviewers are going to give it a 7/10 for reasons that are rather petty.

Still i think it lands in the 90-95 range.

 

[ckaneo]

Of course it does, we'll be talking about Bloodborne decades from now.

lol

I disagree, but this isnt the thread for that

 

[fantomena]

I seriously hope there will be some wordings about the Wii U version as it is Im not getting the Switch until sometime far later (next year?)due to it's only Zelda Im interested in so far and Im not very interested in Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey either, just Zelda.

 

[LotusHD]

What does that have to do with comparisons between an open world?

I don't know, but I'm starting to think he may not like the game.

 

[The Last One]

It does. Resident Evil 4, The Last Of Us, Mario Galaxy, Red Dead, Bloodborne, Breath Of The Wild...

Believe.

Metroid Prime, Portal 2, Shadow of the Colossus...

 

[Lom1lo]

I honestly think I was never excited for a review thread like this
I wish the game will get a 7 or so, just for the meltdowns. The poor reviewer would have to change his name.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I'm expecting it to land at a 92 MC when all is said and done. People seem to really be loving it.

 

[GodfatherX]

Going with a 91, with 1 mainstream site coming in with a low score skewing the metacritic total

 

[jrush64]

This will be a bloodbath, just you watch.

 

[Nickle]

Dystify, can you put a note in the OP telling people not to post spoilers from the reviews?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

In all seriousness this thread should've been locked until like 10 minutes before.

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

I'm hyped for a review thread. What is happening to me

 

[Beaniedude]

You know Zelda, we really are the breath of the wild.

 

[ckaneo]

I seriously hope there will be some wordings about the Wii U version as it is Im not getting the Switch until sometime far later (next year?)due to it's only Zelda Im interested in so far and Im not very interested in Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey either, just Zelda.

I thought we already knew the deal.
Wii U version looks and plays the same, but has worse framerate

 

[Milennia]

A 95 in 2017 is like a 98-99 back in the day so my prediction is a bit more modest

Damn if I don't hope it to be a thing though
