@JohnnyMind Without any prior knowledge in the game, there’s no way to discern what something is about without playing. Unless you think each Final Fantasy is the last one? Maybe this one! Lol
It’s more incredible to see Elden Ring up there, if I was being honest. That studio went from making a genre out of a game that Sony nearly cut (Demon’s Souls) to being a super-giant that makes gold. I love underdogs!
@Dr_Lugae At this point, I don’t think it would be premature. The system has been out for 6 years, and it unfortunately keeps showing it’s age. Stuff like MP4 will be on the next console; it’s gonna need more juice than what the Switch can handle in order to wow people.
@Almighty-Koz I didn’t own a Wii, and knew it was a new system when the Wii U was released. I’m thinking that theory is just an internet rumor that is out of hand.
@Cesco That would be thrilling news for the game store. They could actually increase their price, and people would still rush to buy it before the console is “phased out” for the new one.
A Zelda movie sounds infinitely more interesting than a Mario one. And lmfao at all these people averse to Link having a voice. Watch this and get used to it:
Silent protag is a video game thing and it’s dumb, needs to go away, and forever. Doesn’t make sense that Link has combat voice lines but no spoken dialogue.
@CammyUnofficial You don't understand why someone would want a newer console? Honestly, read the article. It will answer any "I don't get it's" you may have
@Euler If you only skimmed, how will you be able to glean any information from it to be able to come to that conclusion? If you got fed up reading it that's on you, not the writer.
@Li_Bae Same. I watched a streamer put the game through it's paces and it let me feeling like, "oh, just more botw." I guess this is an example of Nintendo being too afraid to branch out to something else.
@CammyUnofficial Every console has had it's final game that was ever released during it's life cycle. This article is talking about that concept. Not too hard to figure out!
@Paraka I think people are throwing around the word "optimization" to sweep away any sound arguments to be had regarding a game's performance.
@Boxmonkey For content creators, this is a great opportunity. I'm sure they found enjoyment out of what they did, plus they get a news article about them!
@Cia Majora's Mask was markedly different than OOT, so I don't see the comparison, to be honest! I'm just saying, it's a $70 download, so why not spruce it up? I'm hearing/reading reviewers saying it's the same landmass as botw, just with edits.
I'm kinda interested in hearing what people think about all the samey-ness that got carried over from botw. It' a $70 download, but if I didn't know better, I would think it's still botw.
@Rambler I've never seen a non-specialist review go as in-depth as DF; that's their whole point. Did you see the NL review? "Uhh, the frames dropped a little, but it wasn't that bad." Some of us need something more detailed before making a purchase!

@gurtifus They are releasing a guide to help people navigate the game; has nothing to do with boredom.

Re: Eiji Aonuma "Interested" In Zelda Movie After Mario's $1 Billion Box Office Success
@Jhena Link was featured in a cartoon series which was fully voiced. Worked then, it will work again should someone decide to make a movie.
Re: Eiji Aonuma "Interested" In Zelda Movie After Mario's $1 Billion Box Office Success
@steely_pete They’ll probably make the movie, and it will probably be fine, Mr. tin foil hat person

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Now The "Highest Rated Game Of All Time" On OpenCritic
@Arawn93 If N wanted to release Tears of the Wild as a DLC, they could have. It really is so similar.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Now The "Highest Rated Game Of All Time" On OpenCritic
@Jop Opencritic has been around since 2015, and generates over 1 million page visits per month. Hardly “some random site.”

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Beyond Good And Evil
@JohnnyMind I can’t think of a single box art illustration that gives an idea of what a game is about, now that I think about it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Beyond Good And Evil
I went Europe because they gave her head the correct proportions.

@Manxman64 Are you new to video games?

@gurtifus You don’t have to click. Let them do their jobs.
Re: Eiji Aonuma "Interested" In Zelda Movie After Mario's $1 Billion Box Office Success
@steely_pete You not being able to imagine it is different than Nintendo and a production team imagining it.

Re: Soapbox: If Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Isn’t Switch’s Swan Song, It Really Should Be
@CammyUnofficial Then maybe look up what swan song means, and the article will make a lot more sense for you.

Re: Soapbox: If Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Isn’t Switch’s Swan Song, It Really Should Be
@spiderman0616 If it means that it might get Nintendo to listen to what it's customers want, then yes.
@Euler If you read the article, it specifically stated that the "why" has to do with a 22% decrease in Switch sales, among other reasons!

Re: Poll: What's Your Game Plan For Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Gonna give this one a miss, since it’s essentially more botw and I didn’t really like that one.

Re: Speedrunner Beats Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom In Just 94 Minutes
@Martijn87 They take a lot of knowledge and planning, you'll get there
Re: Speedrunner Beats Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom In Just 94 Minutes
@Martijn87 We play the game multiple times to optimize our speedrun times. FYI

Re: Rumour: 'Mortal Kombat 1' Is Supposedly Coming To Switch
Leaks are not official announcements, so I'll temper my expectations.

I'm kinda interested in hearing what people think about all the samey-ness that got carried over from botw. It' a $70 download, but if I didn't know better, I would think it's still botw.
