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

Do we know what the amiibos do?

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

I can't be excited for that shit.

RIP comfy thread

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.

>that filter
>that fov

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

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.

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

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

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.

Fuck that's neat.

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.

If lightning that close isn't deafeningly loud I'm fucking refunding it.

No but in all seriousness my hype knows no bounds

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.

Check out some of the related videos in youtube.com/watch?v=C87o6D-679w
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).

nice original comment

Thanks, user. Yeah, the horse animations are cool.

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.

I don't want to believe.

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.

...

Finally I have a reason to boot up my Wii U.

Not even joking.

>the game mechanics have never been as developed as they are here.
>new gimmicks
Literally nothing new, it's all rehashes that run at 23fps in 720p with crap AI.

...

>Open world
That's what Zelda has always been, don't like it never was.
>Survival
I know what you mean by eating food but all that does is give bonuses, it's not really for "survival"
>Crafting
again it looks like it's just the cooking but I could be wrong
>Gathering
Zelda has always had that
>Questing
Zelda has always had that and that's not even a flaw what the fuck
>Simplified combat
Looks to be the most complex in the series so far
>Empty world
It's not
>One colour graphics
It's not

Stop making always the same post

why should he as long as it gets replies

So, does the switch version really have better frame rate?
I'm not planning on getting a Switch any soon. And I bought the Wii U just for Zelda.

>it was always shit

PLEASE STOP

>tfw missed preorder

well it wasn't shit before and if you're implying those things that have always (for the most part) been in zelda will make it shit now then I don't know what to say to you.
You ain't getting your tortanic today, autist.

You'll give OoT a pass for that though.

>tfw you didn't pre-order a Switch U

>got my pre-order in for the Wii U version
Feels good

Some analysis on the theoretical background of the music.

Switch U? What's that?

>19 days
Cemu better be burning the midnight oil.

Do we have any idea how big the map is?

Yeah.
The music of BOTW is definitely impressionistic. Sounds like Debussy.

Great Plateau is 1% of the map or something.

Anyone who even studied musical theory should know that

>19 days until release
>only a few weeks until some dumbfuck starts leaking the game early and you have to shut your computer off until March 3rd

when do rewievs come out?

Hey aren't you a bit too young to be here?

this. how do i avoid it? i can stop browsing Sup Forums for a bit, but because of miitomo i follow some Sup Forumsirgins on twitter and i'm afraid i'll get something spoiled.

It's the follow up to the switch

that's the video i post yesterday user

Jokes on you my computer keeps BSODing every 5 minutes so I won't have the opportunity to be spoiled by the leaks.

;_;

what do you think the problem is? recent build?

I promised myself I wouldn't look at the gameinformer stuff at all but I didn't last a day. How the fuck am I going to stop myself in that last week?

Those are the Zelda anniversary amiibo, not the BotW amiibo. We still don't know what they do.

>Being this butthurt

Yeah fuck the right off faggot. This place will be so much better with you obnoxious faggots gone.

Day of release.

>a few weeks
Try a few days user. 19 days is only two and a half weeks.

Leaks are in bound, better be safe and go off the grid now.

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.

because it s gonna be shit

Do you have a link for that? I'd like to read it

>bonus
Bombs*

Just Google Game Informer Zelda. I'm sure you'll find it.

how many days left till the shills go away?

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.

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.

>I can't belive that people are posting about a video game they're excited for! On a video game imageboard forum, no less!

>source: my ass

>muh-muh shill!
>how dare people talk about a videogame?

>thinking LoZ needs shills

You're thinking of unproven, no name AAA titles like Horizon.

its coming to pc too, right? I mean they never ever said it wastn coming out on other platforms. That means its coming to PC

>tfw I still turn off my speakers whenever I see this fucking thing

I've never seen this thing do anything so I don't get how bad it is. Got any video or something to see what it is like?

No Sup Forums or any other boards, no forums, no social media. My blackout is planned for Feb 22nd because a Wii U copy of the game will leak that week.

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.

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

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".

I think the real discussion point of this image is who would eat a watermelon donut?

You nailed it. It's just a meme.

Great Plateau is "1% of the world's size"
Here's a rough estimate of how big the whole map is
eggplante.com/2016/06/14/full-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-map-revealed-roughly-360-square-kilometres/

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.

CUTE

Seems to be the source of a lot of greentext shitposts, but their overall impression is positive. Of course whether that means anything coming from professional game reviewers is debatable.

Apparently this guy shoots spikes at you from that gun. I wonder if you can use Stasis on the Spikes and then apply kinetic force to them with your arrows. I want to impale this guy with his own attack.

>pre-ordered both
>can't find a way to pre-order the switch

Fuck.

>instead of making an argument I'm just gonna use meme arrows and say he's butthurt
LMAOing @ ur life

I don't know if it looks fast enough to be usable on enemy projectiles. Stasis is gonna be a lot of fun to experiment with.

>spoilers
>for a fucking zelda game
You'll have to use the latest gadget you found to solve a puzzle, every boss will have one specific way to beat it, most likely with the latest gadget you found, rupees will be useless, you beat ganon, zelda is happy.

The End

you know im right

>beat it with the latest gadget you found
>in an open world game

You're not, because this is the Zelda game that's defying every convention.
Dungeons aren't based around items, bosses aren't based around items, rupees can't be found in grass so they have much more value, Zelda is crying.

This game will be ruined the same way every other post-MM zelda game has been ruined: SHIT COMBAT

here guys I'm going to spoil the game for you:
>there won't be a single enemy that has the same basic abilities to strafe around link, block his attacks with a shield and dodge or roll
>every enemy will be le cartoony bokoblins who spend 2 seconds telegraphing swipes into the air while moving at 1/4 of your speed and just serving as almost entirely harmless damage sponges

Question
does anyone even know what the BotW amiibo even do yet

Yep, just like almost every other zelda.

And you fucks keep begging for more L M A O

>You'll have to use the latest gadget you found to solve a puzzle

Not this time

>every boss will have one specific way to beat it

Already debunked

>rupees will be useless
Not any more, Rupees will be used to purchase better weapons then you can just find in the beginning of the game, as well as other things like meat that you can use to cook and make things with.

>there won't be a single enemy that has the same basic abilities to strafe around link, block his attacks with a shield and dodge or roll
We've already seen enemies much more capable than Bokoblins.
>every enemy will be le cartoony bokoblins who spend 2 seconds telegraphing swipes into the air while moving at 1/4 of your speed and just serving as almost entirely harmless damage sponges
Wrong.

Your braindead shitposting aside, I will actually be impressed if they manage this formula in a game where you can tackle shit in any order.

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.
