>a good game that they spent a literal year polishing is actually good and therefore it sells well
Stop the presses, color me surprised. This is a shocking revelation.

click on EVERY image that contains ZELDA!
CAPTCHA MALFUNCTIONED. PLEASE TRY AGAIN
Insanity. Yeah, there might be good parts, but holy shit, even basic gameplay mechanics are worse than a ~24 year old game (Ocarina of Time). You can't even swing your sword in the direction you want since this is basically a copy and paste of Breath of the Wild. And yet, people are gobbling it up.
>webm
>good game sells well
WOW
>Nintendo exclusives will now be $70
I hate you homosexuals, and no one gives a shit that Eurotrash had to pay $10 extra over the rest of the world.
>$70
Wow........................... just like................ every other AAA studio..... on................ planet earth..... in 2023.......................
>giving your money to Nintendo
Why? You can play their games for free.
I mean it's a very good game. It has flaws and some bad parts but it's overall full of good things.
Based. It deserves its success. It easily the best video game I've played in the past 5 years.
>newest zelda breaks sales records
>queue Ganker babyrage
Damn, and I didn't even buy it.
B-BUT IT DOESN'T PANDER TO ME SPECIFICALLY!! THIS BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY MUST CATER TO MY NEEDS BECAUSE I'M A SELFISH LITTLE MANCHILD FRICK!!!!
No meme arrow therefore you look like that and say that
On one hand I am happy for its success. I think its open world is kept more interesting than the average with the smaller cast/number of npcs to interact with and complete side quests with. On the other hand, the reliance on shrines, the shallow combat combined with the shitty durability design, and gimmicky world manipulation like Ultrahand, makes me think they don't deserve to be so successful that all we are going to get are more of the same with every LoZ entry from now on. Just like BotW (unsurprising given it is largely a carbon copy) it has more missteps than hits, but its sales numbers means the wrong lessons are going to be taken away from it.
>it has more missteps than hits, but its sales numbers means the wrong lessons are going to be taken away from it.
And THIS is why gatekeeping is impossible when your hobby is overrun by the masses. Doesn't matter how bad it really is, the sales are all that matters. Brittany Spears was garbage, but sold insanely well, so music companies pushed hard for more generic pop music. Some of the best selling movies of all time are mindless schlock. Reality TV took over TV after the success of crap shows like Road Rules and Survivor. Steam took physical copies and the right of resale away from gamers, but made so much profit they are practically a monopoly on PC videogame distribution these days.
It's impossible to enforce any sort of standard when you are outnumbered by consumers with no standards.
>Steam took physical copies and the right of resale away from gamers
Fricking awful DRM from the early 2000s did that. Steam was a godsend compared to borderline malware like SecuROM.
We had cracks to get around that shit. We could still sell the game disc if we wanted. You can't sell games from your steam account you no longer play.
What kind of absolute tard would buy a second hand DRM fricked disc?
>it has more missteps than hits
>snoy tries another approach of trying to say something while saying nothing at all
lel
Snoy sisters...we might have to go into damage control overdrive...
Its ok Sony sisters we have Tears Of The Kingdom at home- ACK!
Enjoy the future. I know i will.
>HOLY SHIT NEW THING just sold the BIGGEST MOST AMOUNTS of copies EVER in HISTORY and basically YOU ARE FRICKING STUPID
I swear I see this shit every goddamn week
>Holy shit.
So long as they continue making real Zelda games as top-down games I don't care. If this slop is all we're getting from now on this is pretty depressing news, though.
You can bet your ass that the next 2D Zelda will be BotW but 2D, they're never going back.
Congratulations to Nintendo! One of the best most legendary video games creators of all time! And yet again they proved us why! Can't wait to see the next installment in the Zelda series! Much deserved!!
A toast! To Nintendo!
Huzzah!
Wow, that's amazing.
Is the game good?
I have 45 hours and i’m probably done 20% of what’s to do at most. It’s a remarkable achievement and a genuinely enjoyable experience.
I've only had time for about 30 hours and all I've done is fill the map up, and complete about 30 shrines. Loving it, really. The exploration's really nice and calm, great after a day being a wagecuck.
>I have 45 hours and i’m probably done 20% of what’s to do at most.
That doesn't make it good content
It has Zelda in the title sweaty, 'nuff said.
>game is good because uuhhh redditors and streamers bought into the hype
still zero discussion threads
even tendies aren't playing it
>still zero discussion threads
>even tendies aren't playing it
Cause they're all playing it moron. The game is so massive they'll be playing for months while you sit here stewing with rage.
>we are playing it i swear but we just love spamming the board with porn and sales threads haha XD
kek nice try, shill
all better than a $70 DLC of an older game
Ubisoft Zelda is better than actual Ubisoft games though.
>asscreed, DMC-FF, MGS remake, asiaticshit, alan wank 2
What a load of garbage, at least include the good stuff like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Starfield.
This will NOT stand. Sony will respond in kind soon. They are planning a massive takeover of other studios and they WILL make nintendo go third party in the next 2 years
Jim Ryan actually wants to kill PlayStation. he never made a single decision that benefited his brand.
if he turned out to be a spy to Niᥒtend𐐬, I wouldn't be surprised at all
>ported all Sony games to PC
>killed the vita and his portable branch
>keeps embarrassing himself with e COD drama
But Ganker told me it was a flop.
moronic way to bump your thread, troony
nobody ever expect a tendie game to flop regardless of its quality
