Wouldnt say that its paid. But yes, a games performance does have an impact on the overall score which i didnt see with any Zelda review that i came across.
NINTENDO The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| New DLC Announced
- Thread starter CerebralTiger
- Start date
Finished!!!!
Gave the game around 40-45 hours and what a blast it was. Even with my complaints regarding performance issues on the WII U, this is by far the best Zelda game I have ever played. Nintendo's take on the open world sets a pretty high bar for modern AAA sand box games. From Deserts to forests to snowy mountains to lava mines the open world is filled with tons of interesting stuff to explore. The way BOTW encourages exploration is by incentivizing the player with Shrines, korok seeds, random boss encounters etc. All these are not just fillers, the shrines are extremely well built with some focusing combat and the rest on puzzle solving. Puzzle solving itself is not particularly hair pulling difficult but is so well balanced that you actually admire yourself once you have solved it. As for combat, I freakin loved it. Some people might complain about the not-so-durable nature of the weapons but i really liked the idea. Not only does it encourage you to try out new weapons but also gives a survival aspect to game. I know almost everyone must have read that the game does not hold your hand but none of that actually comes close to how good it actually feels once you play it yourself. That sense of freedom is something that i dont think I have ever felt while playing a game - I dont why but it somehow reminds me of Beyond Good and Evil in this respect.
As for the shortcomings, again, the performance issue on the WII U was uber frustrating but i think alot of Switch users would want to ignore that especially since the last patch has ironed out alot of these issues. Apart from that my only gripe is that the main quest line itself felt somewhat short. I know I have spent alot of time with the game but the major chunk of that was spent on exploring Shrines, Towers etc. I feel there is still tons of exploration left for me, if only somehow that could have been accommodated in the main quest line !!! As for the secondary quests some of them are pretty interesting but the rest are pretty much lame fetch quests.

And I just started 
Just went through 4 shines and got the paraglider from the mysterious old man.
Considering this is a huge open world game, I'm blown away by its in-depth physics and level of interactivity! The ability to grab, move, and rotate objects to solve puzzles and kill enemies, being able to burn down foliage, and the freedom to climb any wall/hill you can find in the game. And this is just the tip off the iceberg!
The movement and combat feel brilliant, and the targeting system is spot-on. It really feels like I'm playing a true successor to Ocarina of Time!

zelda running on CEMU 1.7.4d and the tutorial i posted game runs between 25-30fps with hiccups in between but game is highly playable as everything is great running it at 1080p with graphic Pack .. and i give it 3.5/5 score on cemu for now on compatibility
.
More of my 1080p screenshots from CEMU.. plyed the game few hrs i have to say tht its an awesome game and everyone must play it... although comparing it with the horizon dawn.. i would say that combat is better in horizon dawn. Nintendo in itself did a great job with this game.
in my view it should hve been 8/10 but i have yet to play alot more to give a score.

so the delay for the game is actually justified... all those years delay and what not game redeemed itself.
its awesome i cant wait to go home from office to play it again.. there are hiccups with 30fps but the hiccups reduce as u keep playing.. just follow this tutorial and u wll enjoy the game alot ..
i plyed 5hours and m very happy with the performance on 1080p.
Tutorial for 30fps : WII U Emulation Thread [CEMU Emulator]
yes i can feel that addiction feeling while playing this game and on pc with 1080p it looks even epic with my ps4 controller
.I haven't been able to play Ocarina of Time as yet but from the 4 Zelda games (WW, TP, SS and BOTW) that i have played, this is by far THE best game. Just started WW HD, 6 hours into and similar to what happened with the GC version it just feels like a chore. Probably the only thing that makes me want to play more is the art style. I honestly dont know if the game hasnt aged well or is just me but sometimes some of the Zelda games do feel over-rated imo.The movement and combat feel brilliant, and the targeting system is spot-on.

Not at a point where I would consider it very playable. Performs close to the Wii U version, and also stutters randomly.
Some visual effects are also either missing or glitched out.

The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.
-
XPremiuM:
Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already. -
XPremiuM:
Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.
-
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
-
SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is
-
XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.
-
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
