@N00BiSH theyre obviously trying to appeal to culture. Everyone got those big ol' cheap white veneers.
Just like the cgi animation does the same thing by making their characters more and more "full figured"
If he does eat them I wanna see those veneers crack. Honestly both things completely turned me off to the game. Won't be getting it. Gives me a major headache just thinking about it
Yeah no im sorry. I know this is some fantastical adventure. But you're not going to make me believe that donkey kong is in love with some CRYSTAL bananas. That he can't even chew. Insane and ridiculous. Ill take the transformations and everything but crystal bananas and like they say in the trailer 'you wouldn't believe the different types of terrains they have, underground' or something of the sort. No you're right I absolutely dont believe there are completely different solar systems and suns underneath wherever this place is set. Extremely lazy writing.
If This game, gra VI, & the next elder scrolls arent on switch 2, I won't be getting it. Only games I'm excited to play in the future.
Switch made me miss gta V. Nintendo is charging enough money so they better pull through. They fell thru w the last Zelda game & this crystal banana 🍌 donkey Kong aren't doing it for me. My next console might have to be a non nintendo of they f this up. They had time, money & resources. Don't f it up
Great re-design. A shame the re-design isn't brought to life on a system that doesn't make it look like exactly like the previous installment released 11 years ago 🪦🪦
Yep, I can just imagine everyone running to purchase the new switch 2, which has not much better specs capability than switch 1, as evidenced by the quality of the mario kart we saw.
@Hero-of-WiiU not baiting anyone. That's exactly how I felt when watching this. Why even put the game in the trailer if it's going to look 15 years old. It's a new system in close to 10 years, giving no one a reason to upgrade (yet)
The hardware looks much improved, apart from this mario kart game. I don't care much about crazy graphics, I don't need them at all. This mario just feels extremely lazy and low effort, because they've sold almost 50 million copies of 8 (and it's still selling like crazy).
Same graphics as the previous installment released 11 years ago? This was supposed to be the big selling point to "UPGRADE" to a switch 2? This is a big yikes.
TOTK has a bad, poorly explained, even unexplained story with key elements missing. It is supposed to be a sequel yet acts as it's own game. Almost nothing in the game suggests to or refers to the events that happened in the last game. There is no explanation of why after already activating towers you now have to go reactivate some completely different new towers. Why is every tower not working? Princess Zelda is a dragon (of course they explain why, but....honestly, why)? No real in depth explanation of the Zonai. They just included them to include them. The graphics and game play barely updated. Even more vast areas full of complete nothingness. The entire underground seems as if it is just meant to waste your time and life away. The Yiga clan have even less connection to the story than last time. I can go on and on. Completing this game felt like a chore. Ganondorf had a cool updated version, sure. But what even was the point?
The original BOTW surpasses this immensely and I hope TOTK does not outsell it in the long run. What were they thinking creating this, and why and how did it take so long. It did not deserve GOTY.
I think I have a really original idea...it might be unpopular I've never seen anyone mention it, so what about studio Ghibli instead of live action? Don't you all think that would be much better?
Actually liked them much more in BOTW. They were so annoying in this game. With almost 0 purpose. What did they actually do to help Ganondorf here? Nothing. If anything doing the quests, as long as they took exploring the underground for a fruitless long chase, leading up to an ending that has no impact on the story whatsoever. Very bothersome.
Actually, thought this was one of the weaker ones. The dragon stuff just made everything else in the game so more convoluted than it already was, it just gave me nausea. BOTW, OoT, Twilight Princess, all better Master Sword reveals imo.
@SBandy1 yes I know! I want a second one! Like I said I want to buy it again on switch but I want it to be "worth it"! I don't mind buying the same game 6 times as long as it was redone some type of way heehee!
I actually have 5 different versions of resident evil 4 on my backlog heehe!!
"The posting advertises an opening for a senior concept artist who would work on Beyond Good and Evil 2, with the very name of that role suggesting the game is nowhere near completion. Not least because concept artists are mainly involved in the pre-production stage of game development, as the main purpose of their work is to provide references for modelers, environment artists, and animators."
Seems like he was sick for a lil bit & Ubisoft was looking for his replacement during the time
The series has strayed too far away from Awakening. In Engage you don't really care if a grand majority of the characters die. There aren't any really emotional stakes, bonding has become a chore because it doesn't really mean much in the game other than Stat boots. The only thing that really pushes you use the time crystal for is if someone strong dies. I'm not sure how different this one is from Engage or Awakening but I want to play it and see.
No. It wasn't as good as the first one. Not engaging enough at all. I watched the rest I didn't do on YouTube, made me glad I didn't waste my time, and moved on.
How completely ridiculously ambiguous some of the main quests are and their way about completing the tasks. Nothing is straightforward, the depths are kind of ridiculous and just a waste of time. No real reward or point in acivtiating all the lightroots. Very big, yet very empty. Repetitive monsters. The master koga quest had almost no reason to complete.
The story as much as they like it to be a continuation from BOTW is nothing of the sort. It'd completely disjointed, and I can't believe they actually sold it as a sequel.
Considering it's difficult sometimes running TOTK, I don't know how this will work out.
I truly believe it will sell well on switch though, as long as it's quality isn't well below the other consoles.

Switch 2 can barely handle the donkey kong game. If Sony meant this, they didn't mean games are being moved to the switch 2
