Video Game Thread: Atari vs. Commodore Debate...

Which one did you turn on?

So from 3 different sources I have a Switch, Pro Controller, adn BotW ordered. Should get them all tomorrow or Wednesday. But we'll see on the Console.
 
Been playing BOTW with the kids. Definitely a very different Zelda. Link's died quite a bit.
 
So what's so different about BotW compared to say Ocarina or Majora?

Ocarina is about limitations and overcoming those limitations with items.

BOTW has no limits. And your curiosity is constantly rewarded, but not in a way where it feels saturated. I have put 25+ hours in and I haven't even attempted the first dungeon yet.

Phenomenal game
 
Still playing A Link To the Past. Possibly the best game I've ever played. Might never finish it though, work too much.

It's a total classic, but for me Breath of the WIld beats it. Which I never said before. I was one of the ones who prefered A Link to the Past over Ocarina of Time. Not that I didn't love Ocarina as well, just it was the superior game for me.

If anyone wants my 2 cents. DOn't buy Mass Effect: ANdromeda unless you're a Mass Effect fiend (I am) and can suffer through the suck to enjoy the created universe. The game is super buggy, and the fact that they released a huge update 2 weeks after launch that drastically changed how th egame looked and how parts of it worked stinged me. If you are semi-interested, just wait a year for all the DLC to be out and get the ultimate edition. All you'd lose out on is online play. This is the last Mass Effect game I buy at launch, I don't hate it, but it wasn't worth it especially since I won't get the DLC because I refuse to give EA money for releasing an unfinished game.

Also not buying SW Battlefront 2, because **** EA, they have to earn my money. Except for FIFA, I'm gonna buy that.
 
ME:A is buggy, but I really enjoyed it. I love the series before hand too. From the people I talk to in the industry, it sounds like Bioware was forced to meet a deadline and it wasnt quite ready. Still had lots of fun with it. Just started another play through. Multi is a blast too
 
Multi doesn't appeal to me. I don't mind playing Horde in GoW, but I dont' want to play it over and over and over again. Sometimes I want TDM or another mode.

I like the game, but I don't feel it's worth 60 bucks with all the bugs it has. Compared to BotW which is truly amazing and encompassing experience. Mass Effect is like a grind from jump street.
 
I have to say, I"ve spent a ton of time playing OVerwatch and Breath of the Wild recently, and I think they may represent 2 of the best games in their genres ever. I don't think a game mastered openness in the way that Breath of the Wild has. The world truly seems so huge that you'll never explore all of it. ANd you want to explore it. I often find that in games like GTA I want to skip through a lot of the travel as it seems tedious, this doesn't.

Overwatch is one of the best shooters ever. Certainly the best shooter of this gen. It's truly fantastic not just in the mechanics, but in the characters, They have 22 distintive characters that play differnetly, but also have different personalities.

This is very true. BOTW is the first open world game I've ever played where I haven't wished for a new type of environment to explore. You want to explore every area and you're not left disappointed.
 
E3 has been better than usual this year. Lots of fun games being announced, in particular Metroid Prime 4.

Anybody else following?
