Sorry if already asked and discussed, but is it going from 4 divine beast dungeons + 120 shrines to just about 6-8 bigger traditional dungeons and no shrines?

No idea. I hope so
i share the desire for bigger more traditional zelda game dungeons, but i actually kinda liked a lot of the shrine puzzles. if no shrine puzzles, I hope the underground and skies aspects of hyrule make the game that much bigger to keep completionists like me busy for a long, long time. ...how about korok seeds? Do we have those still?
Looks like it. People have seen koroks in some of the pictures and video. I even saw somewhere a puzzle that helped 2 koroks at the same time, and awarded a seed from each!
I'm hoping it goes to 6-8 traditional dungeons, plus maybe 60 or so shrines instead of 120.
Still want to have that extra motivation to explore the map, other than just koroks and cooler weapons.
(And yeah korok seeds are confirmed.)

To me, it sounds like they've addressed almost every complaint people had about BOTW. (Adjusted the weapon durability system, added dungeons, and made cooking simpler with a recipe book.)
Plus all the added possibilities with fusion, vehicle building, and the new sky and underground areas.
That, combined with what I expect to be an awesome story that probably ties into the beginning of the timeline (and maybe into the three split timelines?), learning more about the Zonai, etc...
I think we have another GOTY coming our way. I don't see how it doesn't end up being an even better game than BOTW was, which is already considered one of the best games of all time.
Can't wait.

I really hope the main dungeons are more fleshed out this time. I get that the whole map was one giant puzzle in BotW but, the Divine Beasts or w/e they were called were a little disappointing.
To quote my original complaint on page 1. Happy they addressed this.

"Why not both?"
Friday can't get here fast enough.

Should be interesting with Starfield due in September. Saw on IGN that you can have intercourse on a jet pack in that game. Todd isn't pulling any punches it seems.
If it is like past Bethesda games, it will be a hot, buggy mess on release. And a few months later will be fixed up into the awesome experience everyone is hoping for.rangerdanger said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

Why mess with a winning formula?
You fail. Posted too early to get the first post. cdowsk wins.

#TearsOfTheKingdom is a triumph of open-ended game design that pays homage to the best parts of the Zelda franchise's own storied history--and sometimes exceeds them. https://t.co/z2ehyrpQCL

I for one am shocked a Zelda game is getting good reviews
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
What ign said in their review about dungeon design didn't thrill me. Still very different from the established Zelda dungeon formula
Just checked my order because i hadn't seen a shipping confirmation or anything, and now it says it is backordered...boy09 said:
I pre-ordered from Target because i had a gift card. Had to get a physical copy since they don't offer digital. Starting to feel like that might have been a mistake. I'm going to be like 18 hours behind you guys..
Maybe i'll be cancelling that order and buying it digitally tonight anyway..
Great review. Bummed that it sounds like weapon durability is still a problem and possibly more so though. One of my bigger complaints about the first, but not big enough to not get the game. Looking forward to tomorrow
this is the way. 11pm tonight if you're in central timeboy09 said:

Probably a good thing my game ships tomorrow. Otherwise I'd be absolutely worthless at work tomorrow.

Went digital from the jump. Then was able to preorder the CE from best buy over a month ago. Gunna play the digital and keep the CE as a collectors peice. Super stoked!!!

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Ordered a physical copy and Amazon says tomorrow by 10:00 PM. SMH.
I just put in the notice that I'll be off on Monday.

My physical copy from Amazon says that as well.
Here's hoping Amazon comes through for us.
