Is the embargo up?

No but magazine printing happens early.

 

[The Hermit]

This game is going to rule my weekends. Goodbye, social life

Can't ruin social life if you have none.

 

[eKongDiddy]

Nice job!
Can I have one, please?

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

I feel guilty as hell asking this but can you hook me up, I would love this.

 

[KrawlMan]

Really looking forward to more reviews - particularly the less glowing ones. I could also see criticism coming from the game trying to be a jack-of-all-trades in it's gameplay, but falling short in execution some places.

 

[Neff]

It's arguably the open world that play the best out of all of them, zelda included.

Oh, I could certainly put an argument up against that.

I could name a dozen open world games -both Western and Japanese, including Breath of the Wild- that I enjoyed significantly more than the 6-8 hours I spent with Horizon. Whatever outstanding qualities the game has, I didn't see them, or wasn't engaged long enough to discover them.

 

[rudger]

Or even better: Jim Sterling gives it a 7 or 8. And the shitstorm that will ensue will be freaking glorious to watch.

Maybe he decided to no longer do reviews because he was going to rate it a 7, but decided he valued his life more than his principle of rating a game how he truly feels

 

[Duchess O'Death]

Umm I don't know. Didn't they give BOTW a 10 as well? That was easily a 7 for me. I hope MO is better though.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Seems like it will be great, hope it is.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Umm I don't know. Didn't they give BOTW a 10 as well?

Them and many others.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

What titles do you consider 10s?

 

[reelbigtink]

Umm I don't know. Didn't they give BOTW a 10 as well? That was easily a 7 for me. I hope MO is better though.

The majority agreed that BotW was a 10 and that's all that matters.

 

[hemo memo]

Me please

 

[Duchess O'Death]

What titles do you consider 10s?

I don't see how wind waker, while a great game, is better than botw

So you don't agree with 95% of Edge's 10's?

[essenn]

There's no way Wind Waker is better than BoTW

There's no way Wind Waker is better than BoTW

That's just my opinion. Let's discuss Mario Odyssey here.

 

[Lynd7]

There hasn't ever been a bad Mario mainline game, there's no question of the game being fantastic. Reviews don't even matter.

 

[FTF]

Calling it now...Edge, and others, will do co-game of the year awards for BoTW and Odyssey.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is the embargo up?

 

[silva1991]

I don't see how wind waker, while a great game, is better than botw

I like WW way more than BOTW(and MM too)

Much better dungeons and way more charming.

 

[Currygan]

Seems like it will be great, hope it is.

Lets all hope Nintendo doesn't screw up this time, they've been known for releasing mediocre mainline Marios for years now

I pray this isn't the case anymore

 

[ubiblu]

Yo, can we move past this petty score bullshit (no one gives a fuck if you don't agree with Edge or rate something differently) and talk about the real news here: game is apparently quite good and has +- 800 moons!

Even Edge knows that Sunshine is the worst 3d Mario(by worst I mean least great)

 

[Bronetta]

3D World, 3D Land, Galaxy 1 and 2 are anything but mediocre.

 

[AlexFlame116]

I don't really mind the large amount of moons in Odyssey. I thought I would be bothered by the Korok seed quest but they were relatively easy to get and were actually fun as well!

But you know the real reason why Odyssey should get at most a 6 out of 10? The lack of Rosalina. I mean come on Nintendo. How could you screw it all up so much?!

Spoiler

/s

 

[Gaspard]

I'd love a cappy and stache for my avatar as well please.

 

[ratcliffja]

If you take out Rock Band 3, Skyward Sword, GTAIV and LBP... that list is incredibly on point.

Rock Band 3 is maybe my favorite game of the last generation. It's very, very well made. It's a shame that it didn't sell better.

 

[GGNKovalski]

Other games:
Red Dead Redemption
The Witcher 3
The Last of Us
GTA Vice City

I like you.

 

[Bronetta]

No cappy but can someone add a mustache to my avatar?

 

[Dark Cloud]

They've been known for releasing amazing 3D Mario games.

 

[tapedeck]

I may just have to cave and buy that swank Red Odessey Switch bundle.

Life is rough.

 

[Currygan]

should work better on making my sarcastic posts less obscure

 

[Tarrin]

Amazing score. 27th looking good with this, Wolfenstein, and Origins coming out.

Also, if we're requesting Cappys, may I get one for Greenberg in my avatar here?

 

[CharminUltra]

Lets all hope Nintendo doesn't screw up this time, they've been known for releasing mediocre mainline Marios for years now

Now that the world has experience the joy that is Knack II there's no way they can catch up. Odyssey is a good try, but too little too late IMO

 

[Danthrax]

Calling it now...Edge, and others, will do co-game of the year awards for BoTW and Odyssey.

I think recency bias will give Odyssey more GotYs than BotW.

 

[GDGF]

If somebody wants to add a mustache to my face or a Cappy to my head feel free

 

[Sirhc]

Trying to keep my hype in check, the struggle is real. Not sure how I am going to find time to play all these great games coming out and Odyssey is going to shove everything out of the way on the 27th.

 

[FlibbertiGibbet]

The majority agreed that BotW was a 10 and that's all that matters.

It isn't a 10/10 game imo, though.


10/10 games:
Dark Souls
The Last of Us
Skyrim
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Bayonetta 2
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Bioshock
Fallout 3
Resident Evil 4

 

[UnemployedVillain]

That's just my opinion. Let's discuss Mario Odyssey here.

You were literally the one who brought up Zelda lol

 

[Sygma]

It's a hunting game where there's monsters and creatures every five steps. I got so sick and exhausted fighting the same robots again and again and each new robot seemed to be a slightly different version of an earlier robot. I gave up about halfway through because I got seriously bored with the combat, the world was so uninteresting considering the lore and the story wasn't doing it for me.

Why do you buy an action rpg if you don't like action to begin with, lol

Each robot had distinct attack pattern, weakness and behavior so I'm not too sure what you're on about.

If you didn't get enough infos as for the settings of a game, that's on you too

 

[guyssorry]

TIL that BOTW isn't a 10/10, yet TP is. Incredible.

 

[FlibbertiGibbet]

TIL that BOTW isn't a 10/10, yet TP is. Incredible.

I think it's a better game, absolutely.

 

[Realeza]

I think it's a better game, absolutely.

I agree. BotW destroys TP.

 

[Dark Cloud]

That's just my opinion. Let's discuss Mario Odyssey here.

Good thing I didn't bring it up like you felt the need. You can discuss Mario now.

 

[Uno Venova]

I think it's a better game, absolutely.

Agreed.

TP > BOTW
