I'm sure it'll be great, but literally none of those scores mean anything.

Resident Evil 2 and Cup Head are perfect examples of the trash-tier "journalism" and bullshit scoring.

Eta: I wish I had a Switch to play this on. This isn't going to be available on PS5, is it?

Gonna pick it up tomorrow but won't play it until I finish skyward sword, thankfully I'm almost done with it. Botw was amazing and totk looks even better

My youngest has straight A's so I pre-ordered it a week ago for her.

She's pretty hyped about it.

Minor spoilers in the link below for all of the in-game items you get from amiibos. Very similar to BoTW, but the Wolf Link amiibo doesn't spawn a wolf companion anymore

All ToTK amiibo unlocks.

For those who don't have all the amiibo, I highly recommend getting the custom cards people sell on Etsy and such. They're little cards with computer chips in them that act just like the designated amiibo. Much cheaper and easier than buying actual amiibos.

Those scores mean something when you've played BotW and would give it an 11/10.

I have zero doubt this new game is going to be good.

Sounds like it'll fix our big complaints about the first one. I've got the collector's edition pre ordered and getting the standard tomorrow. Looking forward to trying it out.

Replaying BOTW now.

I'll wait for youtube reviews and for the game to go on sale before I buy.

I'm not much of a gamer and just use them to burn time in the winter mostly.

I don't know if I will get this.
BOTW was just OK to me, and I haven't played it for a few years.
Ocarina of Time on the N64 was the best Zelda I've played, and the only one I've played all the way through (I haven't played them all).

Taking my sweet time and only just got to Hyrule. First thing I did was use the amiibo to get Epona, then found a stable to register her.

I like to look at it in $/hr of entertainment. If I put 100 hrs into it (likely will be a lot more) I've been entertained for $0.70/hrs.  Find something cheaper than that.

Game related, I've been a little frustrated by some of the mechanics. One power in particular is cumbersome and seems ill-suited to controller.

I haven't had issues yet but I did read that supposedly taking advantage of the motion controls helps a ton.

Is the weapon degradation still a mechanic? One of things I really hate about BotW.

Edit: Yep, still a thing, oh well

Unfortunately it is. A little better with the fusions but still a bummer. The only thing I hated about BOTW and this one.

As much as I hate that mechanic, the new Fusion ability makes your weapons unique and last longer. They also seemed to take the weapon degradation system into actual consideration and now help you replace weapons more or have specific challenges around the feature.

It doesn't feel like BoTW where the weapons breaking was a random added feature for content.

This fusion stuff is getting out of hand.

Skyward Sword was phenomenal too. The final boss sequence was actually tough for me.

BoTW is one of the best games ever made IMHO.

ToTK is phenomenal. It leaked a couple weeks early and I figured I paid for it so I'll play it. I'm probably 20 hours in and just scratched the surface.

It's a better BotW in every way and then some. It is a game that feels high quality at every step (other than switch graphics, which suffer in a game so large)

I’ve completed every single thing in BoTW except beating calamity Gannon.  I just couldn’t bring myself to close the game.

I’m going to pick this one up next week so I can play it on vacation.

I stopped following the Zelda social media pages a month or so ago expecting exactly that to happen. Pretty much playing blind except for funny stuff on Reddit.

If you do the math on the hours of gameplay compared to the cost, you come out way ahead compared to something like going to a movie.

I think it's amazing that games haven't really increased much in price in the last 10 years or so.

Yup. They're cheaper with inflation in mind than they were +20 years ago.

Super Mario 64 and other major titles were $59 back then. They'd be over $100 today.
