The last new Zelda game for a home console was Skyward sword. In 2011. So 4 and a half years ago give or take. This is the first new Zelda game to be released on the Wii U so for those who like the series I would say this got the potential to be exciting as long as they don't do the mistake they did with Skyward Sword and rely too heavily on a form of gameplay that while neat, wasn't necessary and made the game all about showing off how much more you got out of motion plus compared to the regular old wii mote.AccursedTheory said:
OT: Honestly I don't know. I don't have as much time to play games as I want to so I'll probably not buy a new game this year and rather try to get through my back-log.
Uhm, you do understand that if he doesn't know someone has replied to him directly he might not go back to check the thread at all? I rarely go back to a thread after voicing my opinion unless it's a topic I care about or if someone replies to me. I might also miss the fact that people are replying to me if I read through a thread even if the post is directly under mine as I might just jump to the last page rather than starting at my own post.-Jak- said:
There's no rules against it and you can of course do whatever you want, but remember what exactly he said:
Not demanding it for any other reasons than if he wants a response of some sort. Not claiming he has to do, not claiming to be king. Also, would you have read my post if I hadn't quoted you? Would you have known that I even posted or that I was in fact referring to you? Maybe you would, but plenty of us wouldn't bother and it's a shame for both parties, if you want to keep a text based discussion going you can benefit from giving the other party a sign that you've replied. As you said a good discussion can keep you coming back to a site, but as the Escapist isn't as active as it once was the reason to check in is less and we might not revisit threads and rather look at threads we haven't been in and check out the new content instead. Quoting isn't demanded, but it's certainly useful to keep a discussion going.
good to see you here my friend. welcomeSheria said:
2004 and 2007 were almost as good. im not saying 2016 will surpass 1998 unless system shock 3 also released this year along with Doom and Deus Ex MD.
in 1998 we saw the Half life which was single greatest thing at that time and thief which pretty much revolutionized Stealth games and was way ahead of time. no other year did something like that. even my personal fav that is 2004.Longview said:
I disagree. Games these days tend to ship incomplete and broken. While a list of prospectively fun games is an interesting read, the fact that they are broken detracts from it to the point you wish it were never released.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - I think this has the potential to be excellent. Human Revolution was a great game. Shame about those boss fights.
Doom - I don't see the point. I'm sure this will be a serviceable FPS, but that's about all. The original Doom blew wholesale mind because it did so much that had never been done before. I just don't feel like there's much boundary to push in terms of FPS gameplay and that's what made the original so special. I'd like to be wrong.
Quantum Break - I just get a really The Order: 1886-ish feeling about this one. I have a hard time getting excited about new IP, though.
Dishonored 2 - I kind of got bored and never made it through the first one. My son will be all over it, though.
I don't know enough about the other games on the list to give an opinion and I'm way too jaded to take the phrase "golden age" seriously.
It's looking like a helluva year for films, however!

I can't think of a single thing coming out this year that interests me.
Maybe Total War: Warhammer but I've grown to hate the Total Wars games as the series has gone on, they seem to just get a little bit worse with each new game.
Part of the problem I think is that so many of the games that I may have taken an interest in are using the first person perspective, and I just can't stand that view in gaming as it feels so restrictive.

Well I just discovered how the notifications work on this site. And while I'm not here to start a big mess over pettyness. Generalizing a community and referring to the GT community as a cesspool (in another thread) with low quality threads (on this thread) speaks of ignorance. And we have as a whole, have done nothing to him or anyone else here to warrant such remarks. Not that I'm losing sleep over it 😆😆😆Yopaz said:
We are here because the community here on the escapist, is a small tight knit one just like ours. Who desires mature discussions with jokes on the side. And not derailing threads left and right that happens on bigger forums. The layout is also similar giving this site a homey familiar feeling. As Defy Media recently introduced their tech to GT. Other than that, this site could use a bunch of forum goers ready to contribute to the well being of this site. So lets continue on with our discussions. And have our agreements and disagreements like we all normally would.
This doesn't relate to what I posted at all. Would be nice if we were on the same subject at least if you were going to quote my post.-Jak- said:
Why yes. If you've got your experiences from two people then it's going to be wildly inaccurate to make a judgment about the community as a whole.Gundam GP01 said:
Which means 2017 will be the best year since then we'll see the release of patches to make these games great008Zulu said:
the number of people giving love to person 5 in this thread pleases me. *nod nod* At the very least, it's the one game launching this year that I can count on to not need a day one patch and DLC to fill in late content.
My disdain for modern release practices aside, I do share a lot of excitement for this year's release slate. Provided half the titles don't get delayed, this could be the most content we've gotten in a single calendar year since the new gen started.
Gotta swing out and pick up the new fire emblem game this payday. Then I'm gonna find a let's play of the new farcry to see if it's something I want. Streetfighter five rushing out the door for Evo is understandable, but there's no excuse for how secretive they were about how little of the game was finished presently. I'll wait until June, when the story mode they're promising is supposed to come out, to pick it up.
After that, it's all a waiting game as I patiently await FFXV (which I'm excited for against my better judgement), Persona 5, and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final (which may or may not see light outside japan, but I'm an optimist)

Looks like I got a little mixed up, partly because the site is congested on my phone. And I did read everything you wrote. I just had nothing more to add than the first sentence of my post regarding the notifications.Yopaz said:
Fair enough. The two people you mention also made profiles on the escapist years ago. B-Cell was previously Diesel & TheGamerElite on a 2011 profile.Gundam GP01 said:
But enough of that. We'll agree or disagree on other things regarding religion, politics, games, sports, etc. But this isn't something worth wasting anymore time on.
