The Game Awards 2017

[Seele]

Is it, though? I haven't played Horizon, but it seems to have more... game in it. In Zelda you ran around, climbing and doing lots of lame dungeons and some cool dungeons.

And I'm a HUGE Zelda-fan.

The first picture released, I instantly saw it was Kakariko Village. No one on Reddit believed me ;




See how cool I am?! HUH!? NWWWWWWWWWWWEERRD

Horizon's nothing more than nigger-pandering cuckery, but with robots and shit.

BoTW just felt like there was something missing amidst its huge scope, like it was trying to be too many things at once while forgetting some of its roots. They nailed it in terms of world building, some of the exploration while implementing survival mechanics, and some aspects of the setting, but I feel like they fucked up the core dungeons, the weapon degradation system is a joke, the flurry rush mechanic is randomly broken, the shrines feel samey after awhile and get boring after 30 of them, you can become overpowered within the first 20-ish hours (which makes combat feel unbalanced at times) including getting the Master Sword early so you can breeze through bosses (which are literal aspects of Ganon), enemy design/variety is surprisingly limited, the only truly challenging enemies in the game are lionels, voice acting is cringe worthy, and the final boss (2nd phase) + the ending just felt very.....meh. It's a mixed bag for me. I'd call it a possibly OK template for future Zelda games to build off of, but it's far from being the "BEST ZELDA EVAR" according to the media.

Aside from that, the rest of the Game Awards was autistic cancer as usual.

Wolfencuck II winning "Best Direction" WTF?!!
EDIT: It was BoTW

Bayo 3's announcement on the Switch took me by surprise. I was half-expecting them, if they were ever going to continue the series, to go back to multiplatform releases, seeing how Bayo 1 was being ported to all the other current-gen consoles and Steam not long ago.

Bayo 2 getting ported to Switch makes me glad I skipped out on the Wii U. Now if only W101 would get the same treatment.

I had JAP voices when I played BotW :3 I agree with everything you said, Seele.

I also had mixed feelings about last boss. I mean... if you play the game, he's practicly already dead. The horsing was clumsy (might have just been me, tho) and no final mano a mano fight.

Don't remember much, but I think I got more feel from Twilight Princesss. If those mixed, it would be a fucking perfect game. I'm not really a ZOMGGRPHX guy, but I want somthing ala the Wii U demo. WIth the spider?







Don't get me wrong. BotW looks good. And Zelda games can pull that cartoony thing off. But look how awesome that is?

More like the Shill Awards.

At the very least, Ashly Burch got beaten out by a literal nobody for best Voice Actor award. Which makes me slightly happy.

[Auli]

It was that Hellblade lady, right? The one who isn't an actor, voiceactor and does some coding or some shit?

Owned.

I predict rhe awards sucks

[mad bum]

Not gonna lie I'm pretty pissed PUBG didn't win game of the way, because I wanted to be here when the internet exploded in a spergy rage. Mostly the nintenyearolds

Zelda is way too much of a sacred cow for them to do that and BOTW in particular was pretty well-praised by the journlolists this year. This is the same fanbase that got triggered when Twilight Princess got an above-average score of 8.8 from GameSpot (which is probably too good of a score for that mediocre game).

[Stranger]

Twilight Princess wasn't all that bad, in hindsight. Combat wasn't as fun as Wind Waker's and the Wolf sections were padding hardcore, but the game, itself, wasn't terrible. I'd say an 8 would be pretty apt for it.

[Auli]

I really liked Twilight Princess.

Good music, cool dungeons, neat combat. It also had as story.
