ZELDA BOTW HYPE THREAD

I just have this weird feeling like it's going to be incredible average.

Do we know what the amiibos do?

>>367167279
woah skeleton so spooky can't even hit you if you stand still

I can't be excited for that shit.

Actual spoiler of a spooky boss. It doesn't really show an obvious weak point here, maybe you have to parry back it's arm cannon blasts.

Anyone know if DLC is comming or not?
I wouldn't assume it, Just curious.

>>367167769
I don't like that it's got the same kind of design of the guardians you see in gameplay. Like Zelda for its variation in bosses.

>>367167579

there is gif of chest fallin from sky with fish surround after amiibo touch

>>367167853
I don´t think theres going to be a DLC for something other than aesthetic things.

>>367167909
Yeah it looks like a guardian boss, has the Sheikah eye right on it. I'd expect a few of those but we've seen monster bosses too like that giant sand fish.

BotW feels like a subversion of what we know a Zelda game to be. Like it's a deconstruction of the series from the gameplay, to the music, to the setting.

It's the most self aware Nintendo has been with a game

Haven't kept up with anything since the Switch presentation. Have we learned anything new lore wise?

Are there more videos of people encountering Guardians? I don't know why but it's something about them fucking your shit up that makes it so interesting to watch, coupled with that intense music and how the player chooses to react.

This is either going to be one of the most disappointing games of my life, or one of the best. I hate getting cautiously optimistic about video games in 2017, especially Zelda considering how awful SS was and how mediocre TP was.

So I watched the Super Bowl with my friends, a pretty large group of people since I have a lot of friends, ranging from half-normie to normie. And I just wanna say that the Nintendo™ Switch commercial got just about every single person excited. People saw the part where it docks and they were like, "whoa, that's BADASS!!" and "It's be so cool to play Zelda™ on the go!"

So at least for my sampling of normies, they were pretty excited. That was probably the first time they saw the Switch in action. Nintendo's marketing team is SO on the point.

There's a guardian encounter at the end of this one but the playstyle of the person playing is disappointing.

I love the horse animations.

the graphics are bad and the gameplay looks like a worse clone of Oblivion tb h. If I wanted to play Elder Scrolls, I would play Daggerfall or Morrowind. Any game from that series would probably be better than this, really. (though, that is not saying much, really).

>>367170206
nice original comment

>>367169970
Thanks, anon. Yeah, the horse animations are cool.

>>367168343
It's neat because it feels like there's so many things familiar in BOTW, but the game mechanics have never been as developed as they are here. It felt like they got so wrapped up in trying to create new gimmicks that they forgot the essence of the series.

Who else here will climb the towers first? Clearing up the map first really improves the gameplay later on. It's my go-to mexhanic in open world games like Far Cry as well.

Game Informer said that they shot arrows at it until it fell out of the sky, then they rushed in and slashed at it. However, they didn't know that's what the boss would be so they ran out of arrows, and unlike other Zelda games there was nowhere to pick up new ones. They ended up having to improvise by throwing weapons and timing their bonus correctly.

I have no idea. I've gotten all manner of errors on the blue screen, first it was related to atikmdag.sys. There was some expand fix that was supposed to work but it kept happening. After that it was all memory-related, but I tried prime95 to stress my memory and that never seems to trigger the BSODs.

Sometimes it takes 3-4 tries just to boot into Windows (8.1 Pro), because I keep getting shit like CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, WINLOGIN_FATAL_ERROR, memory_corruption, and more.

I updated every driver to latest using Device Manager and I don't think I have any extra additional drivers for anything installed.

It's not a recent build, I've had this same setup for maybe 3 years now, Z87X D3H mobo, 4770k, 7990, everything is stock no overclock. I tried reinstalling Windows and still get BSODs on both Win 7 and Win 8.

I think my computer is just cursed.

>>367173874
Sounds fun, resorting to just throwing your sword at it and it actually works. Do we know if it's even possible to parry reflect all beam attacks? I've only seen video of it done on the small knee high guardians. It seems like it would be a good strategy for early fights against the big octorok overworld guardians since people can't seem to do much damage to them.

Just watch a screamer video, then imagine what it would be if, instead of it being a predictable video, the screamer happened at completely random intervals, and forced your volume to max.

>>367175115
Poster of the image here. I've never seen it do that.

>>367175115
Well what kind of image and sound was it? I hate screamers but the best way to desensitize yourself is to research and get used to them.

But if there is no evidence of the donut screamer I feel like it's just that - a meme. Not real.

You'd think such a clever screamer hidden in an image would have some record of it working. But no. Nothing. Just a few anons swearing it "used to work with old loopholes".

>>367174349

>>367175310
They're mostly replying to the image pretending it's real so other anons who don't know any better will get worked up and tense, thinking the screamer will happen at any moment.

I used to fall for it, and would run a scan on my computer every time I saw the image.

Nope, we only know what the 30th aniversary ones do. I am really curious about what The Guardiand and The Bokoblin ones do, I am thinking of preordering the first even if it´s more expensive than most amiibos.

>I've seen 0.5 seconds of an enemy swinging a sword therefore I can pretend it will be challenging

and don't say "lizalfos" or "moblins" because they were slow as fuck too, literally the only difference between them and the shitty WW style combat was that they did more hearts in damage (when link was unarmored- it will probably be heavily reduced in real gameplay)

enemies who take 2 full seconds to telegraph a single easily dodgeable attack and the only reason people die is because they're intentionally playing brainlessly just to show off the damage
nobody would ever get hit by that after playing the game for 20 minutes

wheres the enemies who move as fast as link? attack as fast as link, block just like link and can jump slash like link?

Cherry picking, depending on the player being recorded the same fight in OoT could look a lot worse and in SS a lot better. Stalfos have definitely been downgraded but if the bottom had been against Darknuts in TP or WW the fights would be more comparable.

>>367179565
I'm betting that it will shatter and then reform sometime later. This will keep your other weapons relevant, as you won't want to constantly wait for your sword to come back, but it also means that after a certain point in the game, you don't have to worry about not having a weapon on hand and resorting to using your runes as your weapons.

There's four giant Guardians that are basically dungeons because you need to go inside them to uncorrupt them and each have a boss fight at the end. The boss of the bird dungeon is called Wind Blight Ganon and has an arm canon. It's theorized that throughout each dungeon, you'll be helped/guided by one of the four characters we've seen with blue scarves in the Switch trailer (the Gerudo, Zora, Rito and Goron) who may or may not be this game's sages and subsequently take control of the four great Guardians after you purge their corruption.

When I said the player could have made it look better I meant if the SS player wasn't moving as if the Stalfos were as dangerous as in OoT it wouldn't look so awful, but I'm not defending SS here, it felt like they felt the need to rush out a wiimote Zelda game after the wiimotion plus came out and it was finally viable.

If the bottom fight had been against TP Darknuts it would be comparable.

So you're pulling assumptions out of your ass, nice.
That's mid level leather armor, they said in the stream it's one of the better armors. Plate armor isn't the best armor, it's weak to electricity and attracts lightning.

>>367180156
Sure you could possibly know that, not to even mention the unprecedented 7 hearts of damage from a standard enemy.

>>367180319

there's lizalfos like five minutes from the plateau

have you even played the game yet? there are people on this internet who have, and nobody has said anything about the combat being slow or mindless or repetitive not on fucking person and these aren't just game review polygons, these is sony boys, youtubers, passive observers

go back and watch TP darknut footage and compare it to OOT stalfos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJMRysEpvrE

darknuts in TP were almost entirely immobile, moved at like 1/10th the speed of link. In phase 2 he just has random RNG chance to block attacks without a shield, and the retarded combat lets you hitstun him 3 times in a row with no risk of trading hits until he just combo breaks you with an instant knockdown that deals no damage, because the whole games set up to be cinematic instead of mechanical

>>367180148
>who may or may not be this game's sages and subsequently take control of the four great Guardians after you purge their corruption.
Neat theory. How cool would it be if the other heroes took control of the giant Guardians and came to help Link against Ganon at the end of the game? Imagine if Majora's Mask let you stop the moon regardless of whether you awakened all four giants, but with more and more catastrophic effects on Termina the fewer giants you awakened. In BotW, you can defeat Ganon without tackling the four dungeons, but maybe if you do so they don't get uncorrupted and keep causing mayhem in the ending, things like that.

>>367180319
you're embarrassing yourself

>>367180546
Damn that fight looks good. Sure Stalfos were faster but if your argument is that they were more difficult that's nonsense. All it takes to beat an OoT Stalfos is to wait for it to swing and then use a stab attack, which is always faster than their swing.

>>367180319
it's open world m8, you can go anywhere you want from the beginning, there is no traditional late game

OOT stalfos:
>you have to wait for them to swing and then counterattack them while dodging or blocking their attacks

You're trying too hard, they already said it's mid-level armor, and the place is less than 7 minutes away from the plateau

There is no "end game area" in the game, since it is open world

>>367180943
Wait you can helm splitter them? I can't even pull off a shield stun

>>367180943
Neither one is difficult, either wait around for a Stalfos swing and then stab before it connects, requiring no dodge or block, or wear down a Darknut's armor gradually with special moves leading to a faster paced second stage of battle. I prefer the latter.

As someone who is not a massive Zelda fan, and found both OoT and TP lackluster, I can say that both of those look fucking shit.

They get plenty reactionary in their second stage. Plenty of people enjoy TP's combat but I've lost sight of what this has to do with BotW, let's at least wait until the game is released to go to war. What about people being hopeful about an unreleased game bothers you so much?

you beat them by just spamming back slice nonstop
backslice makes them stagger, then you hitstun with 3-5 hits until they interrupt your combos at random, repeat

theres no challenge in fighting damage sponges that just wait you to kill them, which is everything we're seeing in botw footage

Based on what Aonuma-san said...

I think you only get to use the Master Sword either at the end of the game in a final battle (where it will not break and it gets put back in the pedestal afterwards) or in playable memory sequences (again where it will not break).

So over the course of the game you're collecting Link's memories to somehow refuel the Master Sword. He gets about 99/100 of his memories back and the last memory he gets back suddenly when Ganon comes to kick his ass in the final battle, which makes the Master Sword complete again, blah blah blah.

If you go to fight the final battle without gaining all of Link's memories you can still do it but maybe the Master Sword is not as powerful or something.

Just my idea.

You fucking idiots are the worst.
When will you realize that the first Zelda game was barren and without a narrative because of technical limitations of the NES and because they were still figuring out how game design on home consoles works.

ALTTP perfected the formula. It was the first game in the Zelda series that can be considered 'good'.

the plot is exactly the same as all the others m8 (from what we know) but even if it wasn't, that wouldn't be a bad thing

and the gameplay looks very similar to previous Zelda's, just adapted to suit an open world environment

I swear you fags exaggerate everything or you don't play Zelda

>>367168343
What the fuck are you even talking about. Take it for what it is at face value. It's Nintendo trying to get people that want more adult smart games.

Well no, I'm serious.
What I like the most in Zelda games is finding new cool items in dungeons, use them to solve puzzles and unlock new areas in the world.

I hope there will still be areas in the open world you can't access if you don't have a certain item.

Zelda has some of the best designed dungeon crawling, with puzzles and combat. Hardly any game focuses on good dungeon crawling these days

Most of the times, Nintendo games excel at level design, and are usually quite polished (free of bugs)

There aren't really games like Zelda games. There's action adventure, sure, but very few if any are balanced around items and gadgets and collection rather than typical RPG elements.

They are polished works and put gameplay first, always.

Zelda games in particular are difficult to define gameplay-wise. They don't go too deep in any direction but the balance and variety they offer is rarely matched by other franchises.

For example, there is not much to master in what regards to combat, but it doesn't feel shallow in the context of the game, and having DMC depth levels would feel out of place. Same with storytelling, exploration and puzzles.
The best entries keep you distracted enough so you don't ever think "huh, I wish they went further with this thing".

Plus the level of polish and attention to detail they reach is ridiculous.

I'm not buying a fucking console just for a game.

Well, actually I'll have to buy a wii u just for 1 game, but a Wii U will probably be cheaper than a Switch off.

Wait, you haven't played Bayonetta 2 yet?
Anon, go get a used or refurbished Wii U right now and hack it so you can get all the exclusives and VC games for free.
Wii U hacking is easy as fuck. I did mine in a couple of hours and I know nothing about computers. You can even hack the vWii and play Wii and GC ISOs. Can even add emulators if you want. A softmodded Wii U is definitely a better investment than a Switch, at least until the latter gets more games.

>But can you play legal games after you hack it?
Yes. The brazillian method grabs them from Nintendo's serves, so they're basically legit copies. You can even play online and get DLC.
All games on the eShop are available with this method, so I assume BOTW will be too.

Fucking kek. Underage fags are hilarious. Everybody stole from SM64 and OoT. They defined 3D gaming as it is right now and the funny thing is they still can't beat OoT.

>>367189262
I don't think so, that one is saddled up and everything. You can register your horses at stables so you can call them, perhaps they look like that after registered, or those are upgrades.

This.
These plebs don't even know how useful a Wii U becomes once you softmod it.

>>367189391
You'll look like a delusional fanboy to faggots, but you're actually completely correct. Even action/adventure shooting games like GTA and Uncharted pull from Zelda. When you aim your weapon, the controls change to strafing and walking backwards, very similar to how z-targeting changed the control scheme. If I'm not mistaken, no one really thought of that before. I imagine the concept would sound downright retarded if Ocarina of Time never proved it worked.

No. None of your meme survival games or open world games like Elder Scrolls have gameplay this fluid.

As in, physical discs and shit? Yeah, you can. I still play Smash online all the time.

Good. The takeaway is that most other open world games are clunky or bare bones when it comes to control. Skyrim wouldn't get as much shit as it did if it actually felt good to play.

wow, thats some of the best lightining ive ever seen in a game.

I'm not trolling here but how come it takes Nintendo like 6 years to make this game when Ubisoft can put out an open world game in 1 year?

And this Zelda will never ever surpass Skyrim sales
