I'm gonna go with "Open Your Eyes" as the subtitle for the OT.

 

[NewGame]

Anyone come up with an avatar icon to show how you've opened your eyes?

 

[AdanVC]

I think I'm about done with this thread tbh. Just gonna browse and lightly comment til bed, then I'll wake up tomorrow, peek at the review thread and laugh/cry, go to work, come back home, take a nice nap, then run off to Best Buy at 11:40pm to pick up my Switch.

It's been grand, ya'll.

It was a blast being hyped with y'all! Since the day when this thing was the NX and we we're freaking out with that fake buttonless controller :') A long (and painful) journey finally comes to an end.

I'm not worried about the reviews. I am worried about how people will react to them though.

PSA: Please do not freak out or shit on reviewers over a 9, or an 8, or even a 7. It's all fair, and it doesn't mean you won't love the game.

If people lose their shit over a 9, we might as well lock the review thread. Cause it won't get any better if that's what it starts off with.

*Am drinking* This game, that is potentially my dream game, is releasing on my birthday and I don't even know how to cope. Combine that with GAF hype/drama and I am basically living in a fucked-up dreamworld lol. Friday is like a fairy tale right now.

Luckiest birthday! Nintendo be like:

"Happy Fucking Birthday, you shithead."

 

[-Mikey-]

Not sure how I missed the e3 2016 trailer!

It's lovely.

Hah! Yeah, it's a thing... But at least I already got myself the ultimate bday present!

What? Open your eyes!!!

 

[Darkgran]

Is there going to be a preload for this on the WiiU if you buy it digital?

 

[Benzychenz]

How long until reviews go up?

 

[GDGF]

How long until reviews go up?

You will wake up in the morning to reviews.

 

[Jobbs]

I bet money with someone that it'd be 95+ MC as of Friday at noon EST. We both feel confident in our bets.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

How long until reviews go up?

6,5 hours

Seeing it live with a chat full of people was an insane experience.

 

[Servbot24]

That's some risky business, but due to your timing I think you may get it. I bet it starts off super high and then dips into the 92-94 range as more reviews come in.

 

[Speely]

I bet money with someone that it'd be 95+ MC as of Friday at noon EST. We both feel confident in our bets.

Damn. You are going all in.

Love it!

 

[atr0cious]

I hope folks have a dose of skepticism going into tomorrow morning. If it's good scores great, but I'm worried some folks(not necessarily you Jobbs) are putting a little more than a wishful thought on the score. Don't get banned on Christmas Eve and then not be able to share in the gift unwrapping.

This is like being in clock town at night on the final day. I hope the giants are on their way.

 

[Evil's Bane]

Gonna try and finish off Wind Waker tonight to get in the Zelda mood.


Slight problem though is the only thing left is the Triforce Quest...well, it can't be all bad.

If someone gave me an over/under of 94.5 I would absolutely take the under on that

Only while docked, though.

If you have it, hyrule warriors has been a great salve for my urges. Plus it's not full of puzzles, so you're not just going through the same formula with different coats of paint.

 

[jack_package_200]

So what time do reviews start appearing? Midnight EST?

in 6 hours i think

 

[2Smashed4U]

Gonna be playing this game finally in just about 24 hours

Holy shit.

 

[Benzychenz]

4pm is a little too early for bed.

6,5 hours

Thanks.

So 10pm I get hyped, then I go to bed and pick my Switch up first thing.

 

[arlucool]

Whos playing the game?.. i need to know a good way to get rupees, im broke

Not playing it, but you can trade your ores and minerals to Beedle.

 

[Jobbs]

If someone gave me an over/under of 94.5 I would absolutely take the under on that

and that's why you are not really living

I'm not terribly invested in what games score what. I've just been examining everything and thinking about the mindset of reviewers and I believe a 95+ mc is likely. Because most people disagree (see above) it seemed like something good to bet on

HW doens't feel like a Zelda game to me. It looks like one, but it doesn't feel like it. Still a fun piece of fanservice though.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

I just realized while reading this page, I too have not seen the E3 trailer. Just looked it up on youtube and closed that tab the second I saw the trees. Man this game is gonna be dope.

 

[AquaWateria]

Guys I can't believe we are going to be able to play a open world Ghibli game.

Zelda FTW in my veins....

Gravity Rush 2 already let you do that.

This one's a bit more interactive though.

Oh yea, it's definitely not a "real" Zelda game. But like Metal Gear Rising, some well done fanservice goes a long way when it's tied to something serviceable, and both games are great at what they do. And seeing all the characters and being able to play as them is pretty fun.

you know Easy Allies is a thing right? Brandon Jones does the voice overs for all their reviews still.

 

[oatmeal]

Yeah I know of them but I don't follow like I should.

It's not quite the same though I feel.
