Forums - Gaming - Legend Of Zelda most talked E3 game on social media

I'm sure if Sony spent an ENTIRE day on god of war, it would have the same amount of social presence.

Does that mean Zelda is bad? Absolutely not. Does this mean Nintendo won? No.

What does this mean? Nothing, it's just people talking about a game that just showed off a TON of info

Oh, so you can just talk about one game per E3.I mean, if we are talking about Zelda here, I cant talk about God of.... what was the name again?

THATS common sense, not the... thing you are implying.Dont get me wrong, some of those people talking about the game are trying to bash the game, like you and some others here.And people that watch E3 are more avid gamers than casuals are.So the chance that they saw, or at least heard of all games that appeared on E3, be it through a live stream, a article in a site, or by a friend is high.So this data actually shows that, the same guy that is talking about God Of War 4 and Horizon, is also talking about Zelda.Because you know, gamers talk about GAMES, not  A game.

Errrrr..... can you show me a singke commemt or quote i have made bashing the game?

And i dont know why this is so hard to understand. Nintendo has ONE major title worth talking about. Everyone else has several. Be it first or third party. There are several. Even if you talk about several games, the one game nintendo has will seem to get the most hits or mentions. Jesus..... i give up. 



Breath of the Wild looks impressive, I can understand why is the most talked game.

It wouldn't, but it would do well.

Zelda benefited from a day long Treehouse as well as being, you know, Zelda. Plenty of people who don't even play games anymore or who have never heard of God of War were talking about it on Facebook. It's an iconic franchise that nearly everyone is aware of, so while it may not translate to sales, everyone and their mother was watching the footage on Facebook and elsewhere.

However that implies Nintendo fans have a large fanbase enough to talk that is equal to Sony's fanbase or Microsoft's Fanbase. So your common sense isn't exactly true either. The three fanbases are not equel in size. The fact that Zelda is being talked about is interesting, because it has caused excitement.  You do not see Pokemon as up there as Zelda. Even E3 coverage places have talked about how well Zelda is being shown. 

I have no idea how that works for you, but you just helped me prove what I mean by common sense is not common. lets see....

40M people talking about 30+ games means that if split evenly you get an average of around 1.1M/game. 

15M people talking about 1 game means yo...... if you don't get it by now never mind.

That isn't true either because those 40 million people can talk about those 30+ games individually thus creating buzz. It isn't 1 for 1 logic here. 1 Person does not equel 1 game. I am not arguing that sony does not have variety, I am arguing fans dismissing Zelda, just because it is the only they had. For example if Half Life was annouced it would most likely be the most talked about thing, and PC has more than all the above. Social media stats is just buzz around products, Zelda has buzz going.

You really need to stop treating this one for one. Humanity does not work that way.

The problem with your reasoning is that E3 is not compromised of only Nintendo fans.Its actually very likely the number of Sony fans and Microsoft fans are higher than Nintendo fans.And if you go look at the information, Zelda has double the "attention" than Battlefield 1 which is at second.This is actually saying that alot of people who is talking about this game, either in a negative or positive light, is not only nintendo fans, but also fans from the other consoles.This goes to show how much zelda has turned the heads of people to its direction.

Not only that, but having a single game(which is a lie, since pokemon was there) wasnt the only thing that made it easier for Nintendo to get people attention.Dont get me wrong, I am not ignorant enough to say that it didnt help, because of course it did.After all, that was the only game that was available at the show from Nintendo.But saying this is the only reason it picked up this many people interest is completely ignorant.As I said before that you kindly ignored, you dont cut and divide the attention.The attention goes to the games that most picked your interest, that most picked your attention.If Sony had a Legend Of Zelda-level of quality game on the show, it would draw as much attention as Breath of the Wild, no matter how many games there are.This is how things works.The only thing that would be different is that the games that were less appealing are just ignored, or simplly left in the side.

And by bashing, I meant you trying to twist the information to make it not look good for Zelda.Again dont get me wrong, this may not mean that sales will be 10 million +, but its a good sign.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

There is only so much you can talk about from 1 or 2 trailers. God of war didn't benefit from hours of gameplay.

Whether the franchise is iconic or not, if the platform holder spends an entire day on 1 game, it will be talked about more than the other games that only had 1 or 2 trailer



Of course it is getting more attention than other games. It doesn't surprise me.
It was the only thing Nintendo had at the E3. Xbox and Playstation gamers had so many games to talk about at E3 while Nintendo gamers are only able to talk about one game.

I think you're underestimating Nintendo fans, to be honest, and also underestimating the effect of making one game the center of your presentation.

Let's take these forums as an example.  Last night, I remember counting 10 "Zelda" threads on my Hot Topics list.  The same group of people were going into different threads to talk about cooking in Zelda, as opposed to the voices in Zelda.  One group of people with their full and undivided attention on Zelda.  

On the other hand, we has several Zero Dawn threads but there was also a God of War thread, a Kojima thread, a Biohazard thread, and many others for PS4 and Xbox One.  Everyone was picking their favorite game and spending most of their time talking about it.  What happens, though, when there is really only one game to talk about?  Yeah, everyone talks about that one game.  I don't think that's a radical conclusion.

Am I saying that Zelda doesn't deserve to be the number one most talked about game?  No, I'm not, but I do think people are trying to make way too much of this survey.  Nintendo fans are pretty much only talking about Zelda and they're talking about it a LOT.  That's going to be a significant factor.  

Reminds me of when big deals were made about Wii U trending worldwide.  People make too much of social media.
