With the recent news of this game having both microtransactions and being forced-online all the time, in addition to everything we already know about this, it just keeps looking better and better. Definitely preordering this one.
Let's see how many people hate on this irrationally, because of Konami.
Yeah man. Not like it has things everyone fuckin hates nowadays, like microtransactions and forced-online single player mode. Not like there's not a million boring-ass survival/crafting games that feature most of these exact mechanics. Not like it's boring, generic looking shit made on the name of a belovedly innovative and fantastic staple of video games since the fucking late 90s and PS1.
Nope, they just hate it irrationally because "Konami". I mean it's even a survival game with zombies! How original and fresh!
Sort of agree with people that say this is one of/the best 3D zelda games. Idk man, like I'd say I had more fun with this game than any 3D zelda. I loved this game.
@falconboom: If I wanted something new, I'd play a game that wasn't such a blatantly direct clone of another game, with barely anything different to offer. Which is exactly what I like in my games, and there's plenty out there that offers that and differentiates itself. That's the whole point, there's a huge difference between homages that have something unique to offer and clones.
For example, Axiom Verge is clearly an homage to Super Metroid, but it also has a bunch of new surprises and cool twists on that formula. This game, on the other hand, stinks of being barely more than reskin in too many ways. And yeah, I'm aware that Dan mentioned that there were some new ideas, but I didn't glean that impression very strongly from this video, and I wonder what the actual points of difference are there. Are they actually interesting and surprising new ideas, or is it just new weapons and new enemy types or something? Like I said, really doesn't make me want to run out and play this despite loving Link to the Past.
I don't understand, why wouldn't I just play Link to the Past if I wanted to play Link to the Past? It'd be one thing if this was an homage with even a few new mechanical (or hell, even story) twists, but this seems too close to clone/rip-off for comfort.
Liked the QL though guys, thanks. Link Between Worlds is a fantastic game.
