Oh my god, what innovative gameplay and really unique mechanics! They've redefined the genre, and really taken things to another level.

I had a second PS4 (long story) but I had to return it today to pay for it for cash to get a different receipt, while I was there I asked if it was still sold out, they told me they got 2 units today and both were sold out, I was there around 10:30am, store opened at 10.

Started playing Elder Scrolls Online tonight. Pretty decent story, but it's glitchy as all hell still. Plus, there doesn't seem to be a cooldown with abilities, they just use magic or adrenaline.

I wish you could play this game, now that I've beaten it. This is by far the best Zelda so far. The characters actually have subtle depth (it's no Final Fantasy) and there's a real driving story. The music is top notch, again by far the best. My opinion should not really matter since I'm a huge Nintendo fan but that's coming from someone who finds Skyward Sword "eh" and Twilight Princess to be the worst 3D Zelda game.

To be fair, those are pretty common opinions.
But this game definitely seems very promising and exciting!

Not entirely sure about earlier games (pretty sure no cooldowns there), but Skyrim uses a cooldown system for shouts.
Current Losing Streak: 4 (record: 9)
Probable record holder for most games played on site before managing to win one!

The LOZ series has really gone downhill since the 3DI games.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I found Twilight Princess to be my favorite 3D Zelda.

So, I bought the DLC Ace Attorney episode. Its better than the main game.

Yeah, but it, like, fixes a bunch of the problems with the main game. Its hilarious, lighthearted, you get more screentime with Fulbright/Blackquill, Pearl plays major part(versus her cameo in the main game), and its loaded with callbacks to the original series. Well worth six fifty.

yes, there were cooldowns in oblivion. And in Daggerfall there was an animation cooldown of sorts.

racial abilities and other specials typically have a limit of one day

but the mana system is so easily broken/abused - I can easily see Bethesda going 'fuck it'

But this is supposed to be a mmorpg, which means races and focuses should be balanced. I guess I'm just accustomed to cooldown with mmorpgs, as that is one of the main ways of controlling the balances.

don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled they're doing it

TES is actually a great franchise to make into an MMO since it's practically one already

if anything it'll be the PvP that kills it

Elder Scrolls Online is garbage. I couldn't play it for more than an hour. The combat is terrible, there's no weight or feedback to it, and the entire game world is just bland. Yuck.

That's pretty much my opinion of it too. Absolutely terrible. Would not play if it were a free-to-play MMO.

So we're considering the Wii U. (While we wait to actually be possible to purchase a PS4.) Does it even come close to being worth the money?
