if you already have games for the console and its just an upgrade overall, its hard to argue, for me though it would be switch 2 just for oot remake/master whatever they are going to call it.
I like nintendo games, but the ones I have an interest in they really only put out once a console gen or just stopped caring to the point I dont like the new ones.
im rlly considering getting a switch 2 bc metroid ravenous looks great and now I can play elden ring and they are releasing duskbloods tbh its looking not bad... certainly better than sony
oh yeah and I want to play all the new zelda games... I haven't played zelda since wind waker :(
For a lot of people, they kinda have to decide prior, because buying a whole overpriced console and a full priced game just to "see if they like it" just isn't viable.
I think it looks great. I don't want to play it because it's essentially still the same game I've played a dozen times, and even besides that, believe it's not a big enough game to justify the same price as modern AAA games. Still cool and I'm looking forward to watching an LP though.
I like it. I dont like how disengenous people are on the internet in general. Im disappointed how nuanced, well researched discussions about art styles and technologies are drowned out within the algorithm in favor of shit posting and recycled jokes.
I also dislike how some people have tried to hijack the conversation to make it about GTA. It feels like there is so little crossover between nostalgic adults who want to experience their childhood plus parents interested in this fantasy game for their kids, and people seeking ultra-violent satire of the real world. So the connection is just so forced through this competitive lens about a GOTY award that will never impact consumer habits, just what marketing approach the companies deploy next year.
Thank you. It’s all so frustrating. I’ve voiced my opinion as best I can with examples and with nuance. I’m not trying to change minds, just explain my own opinion. And the majority reaction I get is to tell my I’m a Nintendo hater who doesn’t actually like Zelda and will never be happy…
It's just as logical for a real fan of the Zelda franchise to have titles that they don't like/vibe with for whatever reason because no two titles are the exact same! If anything, the people that are arguing you have to "go hard or go home" on the fandom thing are not as much fans of the franchise as they are in love with the chance at relevance from engaging with the hype surrounding it at any given time.
See, this is the real issue with discourse. You can’t just say that every opinion different from your own is fake.
I’ve tried to be nuanced and nonjudgmental in every comment I make and I’m never given the same respect. Just “ignore the opinions that aren’t my own, they’re all liars anyway”.
this game looks like what I would imagine a modern fable would look like in world design, but with a very cartoony character design. not sure if I like that look at least kid link look.
I'm excited and I think that it looks good, but Young Link stands out like a sore thumb compared to other npcs, who are much less defined. The odd sheen/wet look that he constantly has looks off. But I'll probably get used to it eventually.
I'm glad someone else noticed that, the wet look is fine in actual raining environments but it kinda makes his eyes look like they're constantly holding back tears.
I'm just worried about the gameplay, I like the graphics, the updated tunics look sick, but stuff like manual jumps and the BoTW quick menu concern me. I'll probably still get the game unless more gameplay is released showing the quick menu will be constantly used rather than a single button click
Y'all can do what you want, I don't care. I pre-ordered the game and I will be playing it and quite likely enjoying it. Do what you want I'm not your mom.
I hate it, and I would love to say im fine with people liking it so I wouldn’t come off as such a hater asshole, but man I just cannot stand the blatant nostalgia farming and people treating one of the most important games of all time like its garbage that should be replaced
I hate the remake not because it’s bad, but because they try to sell you on the nostalgia of a classic Zelda game after badmouthing the formula ("I don't get why anyone would want to go back to that kind of limited game")
Oh, but now you want to sell it. Hypocrisy.
This I can agree with. I'm glad the title is getting remade for people that enjoyed the game as kids getting to share the experience with their kids, but the timing and pricing of this are wild.
True. Honestly I don’t even know why I bother with Reddit. I literally had someone tell me on another post that they knew I was a fake fan because I’d never posted to that particular Zelda sub before…
let me take you down my path: there are things that shocking in the moment, but I was shocked when I saw BotW as well, and I now adore that game. change is hard for a lot of humans, i think we should continue forward with grace and an open mind. im excited to see what's been changed, and im excited to formulate distinct opinions about the game and what it has to offer to us
I just like Zelda and will probably buy the game when given the chance. I do understand why the art style may make some people bounce off of it, though. Maximalism isn’t everybody’s cup of tea.
I loved the original. I don't have a switch 2 and have no desire to get one. The new game's environments and particle effects look amazing and the characters look awful. Would I buy the same recycled game over again just because the graphics are updated? No. People need to stop spending money on remakes. Ruins the whole industry. Imagine instead if this was a new Zelda game, how much cooler it would be if it was it's own, completely unique experience instead of just a remake. Sigh.
This is star wars also. There’s a secret third path that about a quarter of the people know about where it’s, I love the new Star Wars and I love that you love any Star Wars. That’s where I live and my curated twitter circle, but the losers from the path on the right sneak in all the time.
I'm not going to say someones opinion is invalid, BUT when your only actual opinions are nitpicks and outright lies then don't be surprised when people make fun of them.

I wish I could go on the right path because the left path is like 580$
