In case it's not clear from my badges, I am a Zelda fan. However, this review confirmed a suspicion of mine about this game: The mass of enemies aren't really a threat and are mainly waiting to get mowed down. That seems boring and tedious. So yeah, if I ever decide to get a Wii U, it won't be for this game.

Mmm... give me Majora's Mask wrapped in Twilight Princess+ level graphics with the smooth buttery combat system of Wind Waker and I'll be contented forever more. Only thing better would be if they did an extended cut or the like.
When did he say that? Was it here or on his youtube stuff?marioandsonic said:
OT: Yeah not too surprising, I don't think anyone coming at it from a purely critical point of view would enjoy this game. It's meant to be a popcorn turn your brain off type thing, with a bit of "so bad its good" appeal in the story by the sounds of it.
Some people do that with games, some don't whatever works.
"So why is it still called a Triforce when there's only one of them?"
There... isn't? I mean, it's made up of three triangles with differently vague powers. So, three forces: Triforce.
What's a little more confusing is the fact that the constituent parts are each also called "Triforces", but maybe that' because they're triangles, or something.

Never enjoyed these kinds of games.
Also, high-five Yahtzee! Windwaker is my favourite Zelda game too.

I'm a Zelda fan but for some reason, being insulted just doesn't bother me when it's from Yahtzee
I call Hyrule Warriors a Marmite game; meaning either you love it or you hate it, I'm on the love side

Watching LoZ fans come to a Zero Punctuation video on LoZ, rolling around on the floor whining is like somebody complaining that their third degree burns hurt after they rolled around in gasoline before having a cigarette.
He's not going to suck Zelda's penis for you, get over it, find somebody that does.
Meanwhile I'll wolf it down like sweet strawberry jam... Mmmm, it satisfys the jaded little pigmy that has grown to hate rainbows, kittens and Nintendo.

Similes are hard. It's funny seeing people do something which will only make them mad/sad and they keep on doing it, like the Sonic cycle.Enlong said:
New LoZ game comes out, people tell him to critique it, people get mad when he tears it a new deserved asshole, repeat.
I just can't feel insulted when anyone bashes the franchise. Heck, Skyward Sword is my favorite of the 3D Zeldas, and I enjoyed Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, so in a loved Franchise that's bashed, I like the games that get the most bashing as well. I like all the Zelda games I've played, but I can see why people may not like them, or why certain games may not be liked as much.ChaoshadowZero said:I'm a Zelda fan but for some reason, being insulted just doesn't bother me when it's from Yahtzee

It probably doesn't help that there are probably Zelda fans that are really annoying, so people like Yahtzee feel the need to bash on it. If you feel insulted because a person doesn't like something you don't like, either you get insulted easily, or you don't get insulted much.
Inevitably. Yahtzee never struck me as someone who'd like Dynasty Warriors.
At least he waited until the last minute to blanketly insult anyone who liked this game in particular and Nintendo in general. Some of the stuff in the first three minutes was pretty funny.
Frankly, I loved the game as a Zelda fan, too, but the gameplay is probably the bigger dealbreaker. Sheik is probably the greatest example of the marriage, though. As a DW fan, I loved that her harp attacks take a bunch of different forms (knockback-dealing water tornado, fire bomb, lightning fields, shadow gravity wells...). As a Zelda fan, I loved it more when I realized they were all accompanied by the songs from Ocarina of Time (Seranade of Water, Bolero of Fire, Nocturne of Shadow...).

Like others have said, it's entirely based on how much like/tolerance you have for Dynasty Warriors-style hack'n'slash. Mowing down masses of enemies by yourself as a variety of characters is the definition of the subgenre, and any challenge comes from either being able to do it quickly and creatively enough, or fighting bosses in the midst of the cannon fodder.templar1138a said:

I too think that Mario's stablemate Zelda needs more exposure. Even when Zelda is running with the title, their matches are seen as secondary to the ones Mario is involved in. Zelda is the Macho Man to Mario's Hogan, the CM Punk to Mario's Cena, you get the point.
Anyway I love Zelda's current Dynasty Warrior gimmick as I am a mark for that gimmick.

Eh, Yahtzee's fine to have his own opinion. Really the only people who will enjoy Hyrule Warriors are those who enjoy the Dynasty Warriors games (myself very much included).
That being said, insulting Zelda fans was really uncalled for.

Pretty sure half the people complaining aren't complaining that he didn't like the game. More that he, you know, called them cunts.MrHide-Patten said:
It's really unpleasant to see you say such things. I don't care that he doesn't like the game, lots of people don't like Dynasty Warriors-type games.MrHide-Patten said:
I'd prefer to not be called a "****" en masse, is all.
You know, I was REALLY hoping this would be like a Ninja Gaiden style Zelda, gameplay wise I mean. But NOOOO, it's a copy of another game with a Zelda paint job over it. And the game it's copying (IMO) isn't even that good. >_>
What is going on with Nintendo...
(Oh yes, and I should probably add that yes, I'm a Zelda fan as well.)
