Link opens chests when he's not directly in front of it by kicking it

and if he's not wearing shoes

I think Breath of the Wild is the perfect illustration of the age-old gamedev adage that ideas are worthless and execution is everything. None of its mechanics are particularly innovative individually, but the way Nintendo synthesized them, and the absurd level of polish and passion they put into them, elevate the game head-and-shoulders above most other open-world titles.

:agreed:

Yeah so it's nice that Nintendo showed a lot of people actually playing the game instead of just lovely trailers so we can get a sense of what the game is actually like

I'm guessing the resolution and draw distance will be somewhat different on NX but the framerate will remain largely the same, because developers tend to prioritize the two former over the latter.

Nintendo has been making FPS a priority in their games recently, so I wouldn't be so quick to say that.

NX is going to be an AI they transferred Iwata into before he died, and I'm looking forward to playing Zelda with him.

From all accounts I've seen the chugging was an artifact of the stream and not the demo itself. I haven't seen anyone who's played the game said the framerate was dropping much.

I thought it was really cool that they brought all the context sensitive moves from WW and put them into TP so you could do them whenever, I think it added a lot to the combat system

I did not like that all the enemies were drooling morons and could never kill you in a million years, rendering the improved combat pointless

breath of the wild is going to be bad because link's hair isn't pink.

If you burn your eyes with a flashlight in the right spot and always look at the same part of Link so the afterimage lines up on his head you could make his hair look pink to you

If you're a true, dedicated fan, you would

It was really nice of them to announce the DLC just a few weeks before release. Totally not a deliberate move.

EDIT - oh also do not show this added content. Definetly a transparent business decision.

I assume that the general response to this is people feeling somewhere between okay with this and a little annoyed with this but still looking at picking it up, with a few outliers thinking this is the very worst thing ever or thinking this is in no way a potentially poo poo move and that anyone that has any negative opinion over this is just whining.

It'll probably be fine, and I am looking forward to taking dumb tourist screenshots with Link in the Switch shirt across Hyrule, but this was handled in possibly the worst way it could have been with the gaming community customer base being how it is.

There's no "good" time to announce this sort of thing because people will always find a way to get pissed off about it, because that's how "gamers" are. They're the kind of people who look for a reason to be mad rather than having a concrete set of wants/needs and then evaluating from there.

That's not "gamers", that's just people in general. You'll find the same kind of thought in fans of anything, from music to parachuting. Not all of them of course, but that mix of pessimism and hyperbolic anger exists across the spectrum, not just in one group. It's more pronounced in some groups, but that's almost certainly because those groups are bigger and more visible, not because its exclusive to or even really any more prominent in those groups.

Yeah, true.

"Everybody does it" isn't a very good argument.

Like yes every major company wants to maximize profit, that's true, it doesn't make it good though!

I agree that capitalism needs to be destroyed but I wouldn't have thought that video game dlc would foment the most revolutionary fervor
