It was in literally one (1) move shown, and it's a move ripped straight from Banjo-Kazooie that involves a depleting amount of golden feathers.
Who were you hoping for?
Spot on. There was a reason and a narrative behind why the K. Rool trailer was "reused". It made perfect sense. And Erdricks trailer was very well done too.
So, like Brawl and Smash 4 speculation?
If BOTW was so praised, it's because of the liberty it gives you. This game makes you truly feel like a hero. The more you do, the more you become the hero you were before. The feeling of liberty wasn't matched in previous Zelda game. Also, you can do much more than just fighting ! And even if you do just that, you can fight with really different ways, like wearing the Gerudo anti-thunder mask and electrocute your ennemy by letting the thunder hit you, you can freeze the ennemy and push them into the void, kick the head of the stal opponents into the void, electrocute the opponents who are in water, you can blow them, you can stop them with statis or even going full slow-mo by launching arrows while you're in midair. You don't have restriction, and also, the broking item mechanic is actually good, because now you have to be much careful, and so you don't always play the same weapon, so you have to adapt.
That was an uncalled for comment.
Reminds me of the initial SMTV reveal way back in the Nintendo Switch event and how a bunch of reactors recognized the demons... and then jumped to thinking it was Persona.
"This game makes you truly feel like a hero"-what is this even supposed to mean? You can say that about not just every single other Zelda game but just about every single other video game ever made. It reminds me how every single review for all the Batman Arkham games always say "this is the game that truly makes you feel like Batman" somewhere in them. I certainly didn't feel like a hero while breaking glorified metal sticks over the same few recolored enemies and collecting Korok poop for the whole game. Just about every single thing BotW did off the top of my head was already done better in Minecraft.
Not being familiar with it certainly isn't stopping you from acting like you know what you're talking about though.
It's called an opinion. Ever heard of one?
I still haven't heard a good reason to reboot Smash, so many people keep talking about it because "the roster is becoming bloated", but nobody gives a solid reason for straight up rebooting it. The reason you reboot something is so you can do something entirely new with it, and the idea is that in Smash that entirely new thing would demand enough time and resources that it'd come at the expense of a lot of the characters, but I haven't heard as much as a single idea as to what that thing would be, which makes the whole reboot discussion pointless as there has to be something worth all the cuts to begin with. I'm not even sure something like that even exists tbh, people play Smash and hype it up for the characters, I don't think there's anything that would justify cutting 30-40 characters.
Why aren't you telling this to the guy trying to debate my opinion in the first place?
Saying "People didn't play these kinds of games and that's why they like BotW" isn't an opinion
It absolutely is an opinion. You don't get to just redefine what an opinion is.
Assumption. What you said was an assumption.
I think people treat BotW like the greatest thing ever only do so because I think, if I do say so myself, that they mostly likely, as far as my feelings are concerned, that they haven't played any other open world games released in the last 20 years I feel.
Yes. Want a sticker?
That's pretty much true.
Well, you could probably get away with something like this if you portray such a game as a spin-off (less fighting game, more single-player RPG), or a large DLC that can be purchased separately like New Super Luigi U or Torna: The Golden Country.
We're going to see cuts from the roster regardless of a possibility of a reboot due to licensing and copyright issues. It's a miracle we got Snake and Cloud back of all people.
"Random and out-of-place addition" is just a terrible, terrible argument against a newcomer that I thought we outgrew long ago since Snake was added into Brawl. There was a time Banjo & Kazooie were considered 2nd party and became very well associated with Nintendo's colorful cast of mascots, plus people voted for them in polls for a Smash 64 sequel in the japanese website long ago. If that's random and out of place, then you have a completely different understanding of those concepts than I do.
I've played several open world games and I still loved BotW for what it is. yes, it had its flaws, but's it's definitely a 10/10 in my book. It gets the Mogis seal of approval as well. Would you like a sticker too?
Regarding Snake, that's actually another unpopular opinion of mine.
Heck, for a community that loves to talk up gaming and Nintendo history it's awfully ironic that rep(s) from the progenitor of the JRPG genre got mocked and thrown under the bus while a character known for 2 games 20 years ago and then a radical departure 10 years later is treated as the second coming.
Shoulda called him the Dragon Warrior or each of them their canonical names.
Dang, That would have been a nice callback to the North American name of the series.
Those would of been way better.
I have the same definition of iconic as you and I would say that Banjo is about as recognizable to middle America as Cloud, honestly. Maybe even Ryu. The only suggestion I've seen of old people knowing Street Fighter exists is one Family Guy reference, whatever that's worth.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
Here's the thing. I never played Final Fantasy. I never played Persona. I never played Dragon Quest. ****, my personal views on stuff with the franchise make me actively refuse to play Persona or Dragon Quest yet I'm fine with those characters being added to the point I was outright excited for the first two and rather curious for the Hero having like 16 special moves. Despite this, I cannot find anything exciting about Banjo Kazooie. I played the one game people love of a franchise which has 5 games and I'm fully aware what the references are but I didn't find it exciting. I watched 2 separate let's plays of the first game in case the later parts of the game had something worthwhile to it yet nothing or worse yet, terrible game design with **** like Rusty Bucket, the 1 up in Click Clock Wood that will kill you if you go for it and Gruntilda's quiz. There's also the fact that this was THE definition of wasted potential to me, you go up to Microsoft, a competitor in the industry with two incredibly iconic franchises that outright changed gaming itself but they settled for one of the many cartoony mascot platformers that was inspired by Mario like Blinx, Rascal, Bubsy, Glover, KO Kangaroo, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and many, many more that proved that they couldn't last in the industry. I also feel that if Banjo really is somehow 'haha uniquely charming' then it should be able to stand on it's with a unique CG trailer instead of going "Haha you liked that old trailer right? Want to see the EXACT same trailer? It's a reference, so that means it's ok if we can't prove that this was worth effort!" You can do a reunion style trailer without copying an older trailer. ****, if they wanted to mimic a style of trailer, they should have used Lucas' trailer as he didn't get a CG trailer. "Oh but it's a reference! It must be flying over your head!" It isn't though, ****, it's outright poetic that it's a carbon copy as the only thing Banjo had that other **** back then didn't have was googley eyes because come on guys, grossout humour and sex jokes were VERY common for cartoony characters in the 90's. To me, this is like if instead of Mega Man or Ryu, Capcom let them use Son Son or Ruby Heart
