[Polygon] Hyrule Warriors review: Old tricks

Polygon :

Hyrule Warriors isn't a Legend of Zelda game. Nor is it really a Nintendo game. Hyrule Warriors is a collaboration between Nintendo and two outside studios: Team Ninja, the studio behind Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, and Omega Force, creators of the Dynasty Warriors series.
Instead of the traditional puzzle-solving and exploration focus of the Zelda games, Hyrule Warriors features hack-and-slash gameplay that defines titles like Dynasty Warriors. As a sort of mash-up, Hyrule Warriors takes that action gameplay and layers on top settings, characters and themes lifted from nearly three decades of Zelda history."

I don't understand why would anybody go there to get an accurate review.

badz1493507d ago

Another review judging a game not for what it is but for what it isn't! So what if a Zelda game having a spin-off and try another formula? Yeah, F U too Polygon!

CertifiedGamer3507d ago

IGN gave it a bad score too. Just admit that this game sucks.

deafdani3507d ago

@CertifiedGamer: 7 out of 10 isn't a bad score. 7 means it's a decent game, albeit with some issues or drawbacks.

Also, the majority of reviews for this game actually talk good things overall about it. This review is i the minority here.

filchron3507d ago

what it "isnt" though, is good, no matter what its trying to be.

wonderfulmonkeyman3507d ago

Points for using an "AHHH! REAL MONSTERS!" avatar, bro.XD

Polygon is full of fa66s, no offence to actual people of the homosexual gender, it just feels like they are these pretentious little people that need to belittle other things to feel like they're a factor in the industry.

3-4-53507d ago (Edited 3507d ago )

Polygon has NO SHAME.

They don't care that they HAVE NO INTEGRITY....

Also plastered all over Yahoo, so anybody not into gaming thinks THIS is what a gaming review is, and thus get and spread false news based on what they see.

Somebody should do some serious investigative journalism into Polygon and how shady they are.

filchron3507d ago

dude, the game is not good. deal with it. play it yourself and you'll see its no OoT. people expect zelda games to be "good" no matter what theyre trying to be.

Ah, good old Polygon. Where would the gaming community be without them? Dont worry, Call of Duty is out soon.... **** This guy is TROLLING, he also wrote the Metro Review and gave it LESS ******

MasterCornholio3507d ago

Holy crap.

:I

No way is the game terrible. It can't be since its a Zelda game.

Disclaimer: I dont count the CDI games as Zelda games.

deafdani3507d ago

I'm not saying this game is bad, but this isn't a true Zelda game. It's a Dinasty Warriors + Zelda spin off.

WeAreLegion3507d ago

It's a great Musou game, if you like the genre. I personally don't, so I never would have reviewed the game. Not sure why this author did.

filchron3507d ago

What youre saying makes no sense. so people should only review games they like so every game can have a high score right? a good game is supposed to MAKE a person a fan of it's genre. thats the point. and then they write about their experience. is that making sense to you? The author was not playing a good game so he wrote about his experience. stop with the fanboy mentality please man. I love Zelda as much as the next guy but geez.

deafdani3506d ago (Edited 3506d ago )

What he says makes perfect sense. If you're going to put someone to review a game, you should make sure the person has an affinity for the genre of the game he's supposed to review.

If you are my boss and you know I hate first person shooters, and task me with reviewing a Call of Duty game, that's bullshit. Plain and simple.

That said, I haven't seen anything on the Polygon review that indicates me whether the author likes or dislikes the Dinasty Warriors style of games. So, I don't know if this review is fair or not.

Zodiac3507d ago

Same guy writes two reviews, but with different scores!?

I just..i..i don't know.

ThePsychoGamer3507d ago

No, they weren't written by the same guy, I get the feeling that RAFFwaff thinks Kayant (the person who submitted the reviews to N4G) is the author of both, but in actuality, the metro review was written by a man named David Jenkins while the polygon was written a girl name Alexa Ray Corriea

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds465d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted465d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69465d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3465d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese465d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits464d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183465d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

The cool thing about the PS2 chainsaw display was that there was a (kind-of) hidden compartment at the back which was the exact size to hold the PS2 steelbook.

darthv721152d ago

I have that controller but sadly I lost the main cord. And its not something that was anything close to being standard or easy to find.

PrimeVinister1151d ago

One of my friends had it back in the day and I had wondered alout why it had a detachable cord that you could lose.

My friend then said it was so they could manufacture the one unit and then fire its appropriate cord in the appropriate box.

But then we realised each version has a different socket on the unit itself - so there was zero point in it except for collectors to lose the cable.

You know the designers are on r/, gamecollecting, laughing away.

jamesclark19911151d ago

I kept my cord in the "hidden" little brown drawer on the base of the unit.
