Deserved. The game looks great. Have it preordered for Wii U. Will maybe change it to NX.

 

Please.

See Zelda threads after E3. No one downplays anything.

 

These are post E3 quotes:

Uncharted 4: "It's just a movie"
Gran Turismo Sport: "Looks like a PS2 game"
Days Gone: "Another mindless zombie game"
God of War: "Such a disappointment"
Horizon Zero Dawn: "Horizon looks very ordinary"
The Last Guardian: "Looks super boring"
Death Stranding: "Kojima is so overhyped"
Resident Evil 7: "Nothing more than a cheap early access horror game"
Every PS4 game at E3 ran on standard PS4: "I've seen the games, so it's not hard to believe"
PS4 exclusive lineup: "No variety"
Newly announced PS4 games: "No release dates and Crash Remake is not a new game"

Sorry for the off topic but that victim role has been done to death.

I'm not playing the victim card, but it was particularly hilarious that Zelda won every award at E3 this year and people declared said awards worthless even though in the past some of those same had celebrated them when attached to games they liked.  I find it amusing more than anything else :P

Sorry, but not agreeing with and award and considering it worthless are 2 different things. I often do not agree with the academy awards, but still give credit where credit is due. Same with Zelda, I think the fact that it was in development for so long and the fact that it was revealed and looks good had to do a whole lot with the fact that it won. Im not saying it wont be a good game (it will probably be amazing) but there were plenty of other games to be just as excited for IMO.

On the Gamescom win, good going. In all honesty GC was even less eventfull this year as in others, so yeah it kindoff deserves it.
