Nintendo Switch & Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (Zero Punctuation) 

Ahh... Classic Ubisoft

they could have at least tried to be faithful they made a zelda botw clone and striped away every thing that made this game so spiecal

And iits Unbelievably Bland... Thats A Ubi game all right...

Yahtzee is prophetic as usual.

I played fenyx and it's actually decent in other ways (it has an actual combat system that feels satisfying and challenging for one), but it does lose a lot of what made botw special

last one I remember was Portal..

"Undertale is a GOOD game..." -Yahtzee

i got that feeling too and, given this isnt a mario-rpg AND is a nintendo product, the only way i'd be more surprised is if the game was also a FPS. wait, how does link control the bow? where is the Illuminati emotes.

Mewtwo21 And all the more mainstream reviewers have been giving it five stars. Which must mean that its kind of okay.

This game must be really good. Maybe I'll get it in a couple decades when the Switch is 60 dollars.

While i can speak yahtzeeish, its very nice of you to sum it up for the filthy casuals. You should do it for every video of his! (From now on that is, i dont expect you to go back and do it for all his older videos, that would be insane)

nem tudom He would be at it for the next week. He wouldn't be able to speak English ever again after that though.

Soulless_ _ "Yahtzeenese" sounds better.

And this is a comment

Most consoles aren't worth buying at launch unless you're a fan or a collector. There's always an early bug fixing phase as well as lack of games, so for the average consumer it's always best to wait at least a few months.

I dunno that jumping off the tutorial level seemed pretty realistic

He never shows gameplay. If you look close it's animation

*Irony

Dvir Arazi come on man, keep up

Dvir Arazi Holy fuck

I would tell you to fuck off, but that's actually kinda funny. XD

Inside one of those circles with a line through them that signify "enough of this nonsense," yeah.

The air consists of 0.001%-5% water vapor

I didn't notice, im a whale biologist, not a scientist.

Water vapour?

Matthias Schmitt Well air isn't a molecule in and of itself. Air is composed of stuff like oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. Water vapor would be very prevalent in the air as well, so it's not technically incorrect.

What about it?

lithium 1817 The nintendo hookers were expensive, so there is that.

I just want to point out that it is entirely coincidental that he has a girlfriend now.

lithium 1817 Beating a dead horse is fun but at some point you've spent enough time with it to start a lengthy courtship and have a marriage and kids.

Seeing as it's Japanese, wouldn't it be so put into the ground it ends up in Myrtle Beach?

You’re actually not that far off. BOTW was influenced by the reception to Skyward Sword.

And the answer was apparently 'yes' with great enthusiasm.

​@@KingOfElectricNinjasfollowed by "more!"

I thought it was a redo of the original 1984 game

Nah it's not too accurate. Maybe we'll get one in BOTW2 where Ganon is a terrible but somewhat manageable threat made infinitely worse by fuckwits who can't comprehend the ridiculous instruction to wear their "anti-ganon charms."

@@amunago080 Well speak of the fuckwit...

99.99 percent survival rate is a plague to you? And I assume the other comment is a reference to masks that litteraly don't do anything expect fill up land fills. Fuckwits the both of you.

With TotK out and Ganon so literally plaguing the land people are actually becoming physically ill from his presence, this is even more true.

​@@lukeskywalker987well, we didn't, but you aren't entirely wrong.

@Deception Thundercracker WELL ANYWAY !

When I went to paris, I licked every screw of the Eiffel tower

That's what I came to comment!

Jamie Borbely Yeah, there's not a lot of variety to the game. It doesn't take long for the pattern of what to expect from shrines, enemies, environments, etc. to sink in. I'm still having a lot of fun with it, but it's not blowing my mind with every new area like previous games in the series did.

I finished it in like 2 hours my first time. It's 30 hours to do all the dungeons?

@@First-Last_name My question is, why do you willingly speedrun a game the first time you play it?

@@Tjosenn willingly? I jumped in blind, did a few dungeons, then went to the big scary castle. Boss was reasonably easy. Had no idea I was beating the end game boss. However once I did I had 0 interest in another playthrough. What's even the point in doing all the dungeons if you only need a few things to beat the boss with ease? Like 3 dungeons and your golden.

​​@@First-Last_name you didn't know something named ganon was the final boss? Jumped in blind 6 years after it came out? Story is full of holes son. Nobody's buying it and you shouldn't be selling it.

Wdym. He critiques the game because he's a critic it's his job. What about: "it's an absorbing experience" is hard to understand to English speaking people.

Gizmo fromPizmo I'm Nintendo agnostic, for the most part. I can acknowledge they might exist but don't bother trying to care because they haven't done anything worth bothering with in so goddamn long that it's an expected disappointment that I'm not about to spend money on. "Oh, you're doing another Mario and Zelda game with your new console? That's about it, isn't it?" I think they should really get behind software and maybe peripherals rather than doing their own home systems anymore. Maybe if they did, I'd actually play one of their games before it's more than a decade old

Honestly, I feel like it's almost impossible to truly evaluate how good a console is or not until we get a better look at the games its got backing it up. Be honest, do you sit down to play your PS4, or do you sit down to play God of War 3? We shouldn't judge the Switch until it's gotten time to settle in the market.

I like nintendo and their games but I'm a gamer first and foremost and the switch is a great console it just has issues which sadly means that the people who bought it will have to suffer until the lite switch comes out, (yes I went there dood) as for the breath of the wild I haven't even played it myself and can see issues with it but by no means is it a bad game, just flawed, people really need to stop hating and realise that and strangely the same for people who are nintendo/LoZ lovers too dood.

If I had summarize BotW, I would describe it as an incredibly solid core with some little annoyances. Yeah, weapon durability, rain, and stamina are all little, persistent irritations, but you just cannot resist the magic of exploring the world, and being tangibly rewarded for it.

I looked at a list of known Switch games, and there's a lot of promise. Of course, Skyrim is all but confirmed to be released for the Switch, but Bloodstained is also planned, along with a Blazblue game. There were a lot more, but those are the ones that stick out for me.

Kanann this comment made me cringe

You prefer less nerdy Zelda?

Kanann i prefer if Zelda didn't exist

Okay, that's really cringe now.

The Shambler exactly

Jack Hoff A good pair of cargo shorts actually holds this pretty comfortably. Granted, you have to put the console in one pocket and the joycons in a side pocket.

What looney would want to carry a $500 rig around anyway? And how lame would it be to carry a case or a bookbag for this thing? Haven't played handhelds on the go since I was a kid getting dragged out by my mom. Jesus people, put down the electronics for a moment and stop being afraid to live with your own thoughts... Idk, the whole mobility gimmick is extremely pointless. People talk about bringing it to Cons and shit, but fine, whatever. It's not that big of an improvement. You gonna haul it to the drs office and play for five minutes? Or take it through airport security? Or are you gonna sit out somewhere in public trying to be cool, maybe play basketball games next to a basketball court like the ad suggested, heh.

+Google Sucks I bought it almost entirely on the promise that I could take good games with me. Phone games lose their luster after a day or two and I haven't been tempted by a portable system since my GBA SP. Honestly I've played this thing at least 10x as much in handheld mode as I have in console mode because it fits my life better than sitting chained to a TV. I also travel for work quite frequently, so taking this on trips was a huge up-side. Not to mention the USB battery packs I already own keep this thing running just fine if I need to play more than three hours at a stretch. Plus using USB-C instead of a terrible proprietary connector is a huge bonus because of cheap and available accessories. I've largely ignored the gaming world since I boxed up my Wii several years ago, but this thing grabbed my attention and I love it. If you haven't played one, maybe reserve judgment until you have because playing for 5 minutes here and there works remarkably well due to the OS's speed, and my console, Joy-Cons, battery pack, cables, and games all fit into a $10 padded zipper case from Amazon that's maybe 3x as thick as the console itself and maybe an extra inch in the W and L measurements. If it's not for you that's perfectly valid, but don't claim "the whole mobility gimmick is extremely pointless" when that's one of the things many people like about it the most. We carry around phones and tablets that cost north of $500 all the time. Why not pack this on your road trip, business trip, etc. as well?

I have a 3DS in my pocket. That's all. I won't travel with a Switch because it's a pain in the ass...

Jack Hoff we find ways.

And this is coming from a big nintendo fan of almost 20 years

That will happen with anything. If he were to do this to XBox, it'd be the XBox fans doing this. So on so forth.

Well, atm there are 0 dislikes

TGX Game Reviews he'll probably get ddos like Jim sterling

I'd say he was overall pretty positive for Yahtzee standards. Anybody who gets upset at that is just stupid

It’s Yahtzee nothing can pls him

"I won!"

elinfini you know that the first part is wrong right? He doesn't defeat Ganon!

Didn't really save hyrule. Nothing is left to save. So he just killed Gannon and sat down with Zelda and asked "now what in the fuck do we do?"

*Shocked Pikachu face*

@@Shaymin0 "And now we wait for BotW2, Link" Zelda said.

Hawkeye04300 It's not so much about the story, but about particular encounters and moments. There's a lot of neat stuff in this game and it's best to go in not knowing what to expect.

Wind Waker had a remotely interesting plot; Majora's Mask had a series of interesting mini-plots. Can't speak for any others though.

Link's Awakening is so well known for its big plot twist that it almost isn't a plot twist anymore (like the fate of Aerith in FF7), Twilight Princess' plot was more a series of setpieces but it too had twists such as Zant being an insane minion of Ganon (that one was a bit disappointing) and Midna being the true ruler of the Twilight Realm (that one was predictable but pretty good).

Yeah, it was GREAT at sinking!

laughs in 2020 The God Emperor persists heretic.

I regularly come back to zp videos for lines like this, staying away just long enough to forget exactly what was said and it always gives me that same kind of laugh.

@@Ash-gv7uj Oh, me too. "Stick a U-bend on their todgers and piss up their own arseholes" is another one of my personal favorites.

he likes a few games. Dark souls, portal, wind waker, paper mario and the thousand year door, and castlevaina symphony of the night just to name a few.

He's "positive" about souls games and bloodborne, calls god of war a "better game" and there are like 2 or 3 other games he calls upon often when bringing up games in his personal gold standard. It's a rather tiny list.

Darksouls. But yes by ZP standards this is a more positive review,

"Undertale is a good game" - Yahtzee

then you didnt watch much of his i take it?

His switch review was way off though.

But the Gerudo Gannon is there even the npcs will tell you that and the Gerudo hero even tells you that it's him kek

the Gerudo Hero said that it was once said that Calamaty Ganon was once a gerudo, she doesn't know for sure because its just a legend. I find everthying about thos great. nothing said is sure, evertyhng is just a legend, rumors, or a tale,

The Gerudo Hero was just talking about Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time. The society from Hyrule in BotW is one that was advanced and lasted enough to finally notice that the Hero, the Princess and the Demon had been reincarnating since the beginning of time, so they had many "legends" that they found out by learning the stories of the previous iterations of this fight. Ganon tried to take a physical form a thousand years ago and got nuked the fuck out by the guardians and the Celestial Beasts. So the second time he came around he ditched the physical body and just came as a curse to overtake the technology.

We know how it works. Still doesn't solve the problem that it made for a rather uninteresting villain, because it lacked characters and dramatic impact.

Ah, well that clears up why h-- ITS so boring.

It’s the shape of the cliffs that offends. All the hills and cliffs are really rounded, like they were built for a Trials game.

@@denimchicken104 Yeah, most are like this because they're designed to climb up. If they etch out too far you would fall or run out of stamina. I remember there are a few like that, though. Mostly where you're not meant to go haha

NathanJ Rodey yeah, not that I mind, really. I grew to love the games looks after a while, but in the beginning, I too felt the landscape looked a bit painful.

@@denimchicken104 I get you, Kakariko looks almost like the Super Mario World hills in some bits haha Just need the eyes xD

Dopy no

Didn’t he like The Last of Us though?

Coked Up Krabs Hey TLOU is way better than that Uncharted garbage though

Dopy BioShock infinite

Hell, even if he doesn't like game, there's still a fair chance it's good

Inriri I have this rock called Cockrocket and it recites the entirety of the Encyclopedia Britannica weekly =Character

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make with your idiocy.

Honestly, I found the NPCs to be lacking, for the most part. Loved what they did with almost everything else, but the NPCs and, to a lesser extent, the towns, felt like filler. Hopefully Aonuma looks at the Trails/Kiseki series for inspiration on how to build a believable world via NPC interaction.

Inriri if you can't get the simple point he was making then your idiocy is getting in the way

Mega Man no one character in the entire game is a walking dictionary. Every character has different dialogue depending on the time of day, what clothes (or lack of) you're wearing, if you helped them against enemies or not, if you've done certain quests. There's even a guy that freaks out if you climb up on the bridge he's near and tries to talk you out of suicide. So no, his point is idiotic and so are you for trying to parrot him.

Stef you have to be so far away from the console for it to even have an effect. that just felt like nitpicking on his part.

Or its something that was a one second mention that isn't that big a deal?

It's not a massive problem but a ton of people seem to be having the issue.

Maztuhmind I sit next to my console. I can literally touch it and I still have connection issues. Quit your bullshit.

Faintedsquirtle haven't had that issue so i wouldn't know :^)

T3rranified He's given praise to quite a lot of games.

T3rranified You'll hear it again when No More Heroes 3 comes out

That record economy must be really hard on u huh?

He used that phrase somewhere... Maybe in his Horizon Zero Dawn review?

@@crussteasock4047 Correcting a spelling mistake from 3 years ago. You must be fun at parties....

@@crussteasock4047 Ha, touche :D Like really. Thanks for the lulz. I was going to say something about nice excuse given covid but meh. You win.

He has kids now. :D

Yes

"Did anyone besides Ubisoft put a suggestion in this bucket?"

No, because we're decent people and we adblock.

John Green if something is shit it deserves to be trumpeted for being shit. Reviewers aren't going to ignore issues just because YOU'VE heard about them too much.

That's literally what all the videos here are like he wasn't being unfair or anything...

maybe he didn't care about the breaking weaposn

I don't understand the weapon durability problem, the game is constantly throwing weapons at you like candy, and if you want an unbreakable weapon, just get the Master Sword.

I don't think that weapon durability is shit, but other than that you are right

Because if you don't like Zelda games, why do you care about a review of a Zelda game for any other reason to complain? A fan of a particular game series is familiar with what generally makes that series likeable, meaning they can speak to fans of that series on whether or not the new game in that series has anything for them. You don't send someone who has never played a Zelda game before, because they'll have a completely different experience to what 70% or so of their readers are likely to have. You also don't send someone who has a love/hate relationship with the game or a general "meh" reaction to it because they'll be just a biased (believe it or not) since reviews are subjective, anyways.

Roy Lee It's a reviewers job to give people THEIR opinion of the game, and whether or not THEY would recommend it or not. Just because someone is a super fan of something, doesn't mean they're completely incapable of looking at something rationally as seeing what's good and what isn't. Jim Sterling is a big fan of Zelda, and he didn't give it a completely glowing review. The people that attacked him for giving it a 7/10 are the people you don't want reviewing games

I agree with your point however, honestly this game is probably the one that could most appeal to random non Zelda fans.

You know the worst thing? When a really good game gets a 5/10, just because the person who rated it doesn't like RPG's. You *should* have a fan of the genre or the series rating it, because most people will be wondering how it stacks up against other games in its genre, or its series.

+Weezygeeza97 I would agree if they actually got fans of every series they had reviews of instead of just always using superfans for the big names to be safe. Look at Yakuza, 0 and Kiwami reviews were universally done by people who admitted to not having played any of the series beforehand.

Also, Rhoam in my opinion. I love learning about him both through open interaction, through how he behaved before his kingdom and through his thoughts that he kept only to himself. Most of the characters are explored in this way and it's fucking excellent.

Yeah, the Switch was a smash hit and revitalized Nintendo after the Wii U crashed and burned. It's the first console I've bought, ever. Plus I use its portability constantly as I alternate between using it at work breaks and hooking it up to a TV for multiplayer. This review is quite quaint.

No, it's true. The Switch isn't backwards compatible ;-)

For Yathzee it good, not great

Stef The summary is "not perfect, there's a few annoying mechanics and it's not as characterful as, say, Wind Waker, but it's big and interesting and very open-ended while offering something for everyone."

He gave Resident Evil 7 a good review too

and is rezi 7 a Nintendo game

the quest for unusual gibus yes

now dear Elektron I would like to introduce you to capcom

No, it's not MADE by Nintendo. It's on Nintendo consoles, but not MADE by them. It's made by Capcom and has also showed up on PlayStation consoles as well.

Where was that part? How did i miss that joke?

The more pertinent point is there's no one "air molecule", simply molecules that comprise the air. He is technically correct though, water is in the air we breath. It's around the 5:00 minute mark, Nem.

Herman Son Of Arathorn pwned by people not claiming to be massive nerds. try again next time.

Do you think he "switched" the molecule images on purpose? Is the final boss really a pig with red glowing eyes????? 0_o

+Andrew_Ramos youve never played a zelda game before have you? XD

having fun'? truth to be told Im doing the same thing and Im dissapointed about the lack of drama. I suppose trump supporters are still in cloud 9 about the entire tax payment failure.

Nucleogenman That or they've finally realized what group of people they're in when it comes to Trumpcare. Or they're being seduced in Maralago or however you're suppose to spell it

I've only seen people looking and finding nothing. Probably because we can laugh at jokes about our candidate.
