Joekstar said:Zelda looks great and I would love to play it myself (not going to buy a Switch yet tho or anytime soon), BUT I still can't help and doubt the same game without the Zelda title would get quite this level of praise thrown after it. GTA and Zelda just can do no wrong in people's eyes.
Or maybe I'm just salty that I can't play it.

I've been playing it like crazy for the past few days and it's been insanely fun. And how can this game be SO UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS!? The city ruins in the Northeast during night were an incredible sight. I think I spent like 30 seconds in U4's photo mode but here I kept coming back to it occasionally and play around a little. Simply impressed on that front.
Graphics aside, I just love the creature designs and combat has been very fun so far and is pleasingly challenging. My first battle against a Stormbird was intense and felt like it took ages and I tried myself at a Thunderjaw yesterday but it just ran me over within 30 seconds lol.
JizzyHitler said:it feels so weird that weve reached the point where its only a race between sony and nintendo at this point. The scorpio might actually be big though but thats a while off.
How is it currently a race between Sony and Nintendo? I mean, the Switch is shaping up quite well so far and has the potential to be a huge success but just how much of a success beyond the initial preorder stock that's been bought by (likely mostly) hardcore fans, that we won't know for a while longer. Right now I'd argue the WiiU was such an incredible flop, they are even behind Microsoft.
And I have no idea where people are getting this idea that Scorpio will change anything. It will be nothing but a slightly better PS4 Pro at a higher price point. Even if they come out with an insanely competitive and aggressive price, Sony can simply adjust theirs. And at the end, the cheaper models are what sell the big numbers, not another 'premium' model that will cost (more than) twice as much and will, just like the Pro, play the same games. Not to mention, I currently expect the extra power to be largely burned on targeting true 4k or at least coming closer to it which will probably only make a difference to enthusiasts - your average user will probably not see one at all. Also Nobody but Microsoft is going to bother to put in the extra effort.
Finally, good luck crafting something that will set itself visually apart from Uncharted 4, God of War and Horizon at this point. At the end I think more than the Scorpio itself it's important for Microsoft to pull people back in with software because they already have a far more competitve model in form of the Xbox One S.
