"If you’re looking to form an argument that Hyrule Warriors is “just fan service” as a negative criticism, you’re wasting your breath. However novel this Dynasty Warriors-meets-Legend of Zelda game is conceptually, once you open that first chest and Link thrusts that treasure toward the camera, you realize that this is a Legend of Zelda spin-off worth taking seriously. Sometimes it’s these left-field concepts that make the most sense. There’s a reason why Link was the most well-received character out of the three console-exclusive fighters in Soul Calibur II. And if you know your Legend of Zelda history, seeing the title character herself hold her own in a crowd-based beat-em-up isn’t at all unusual. Hyrule Warriors isn’t “just” fan service: it’s pure fan service."
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
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.
Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.
originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.
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".
Koei Tecmo President Hisashi Koinuma said Mario and STAR WARS are the two franchises he would love to do a crossover Musou game with.
Developers and marketers sometimes dream up fun ways to create hype for an upcoming title. Here are five of the coolest limited edition swag ever put with video 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.
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.
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.
LMAAAAAAOOOOO! Accordingyrule Warrioirs to Gamespot, Hyrule Warriors is as good as The Last Of Us, LOOOOOL!
Great score ....might have a chance to be Game of the month for September
You guys do know that not everyone loved Last of Us right? It's all a matter of opinion.
Last of Us overall got amazing reviews.
Hyrule Warriors overall is getting pretty good reviews.
But these are the averages. You can find individual reviews are going to go to both extremes of highs and lows for any game.
No single review should matter more to you than your own personal review no matter how many people agree or disagree with you.
Wait, so a site as critical of Nintendo games as Gamespot gives this game a 8/10, but Metro gives it a 4/10?
