Just saying "it's Bomberman, we know what it is" is a stupid thing to say. That's what Bomberman for X360 best illustrates.
I don't know what design decisions you're talking about, but it is still stupid to compare Bomberman X360 with Switch's version. Maybe you could make up a bit for it, explaining what awkward design decisions might make the game so different that what we see on video previews?

I've seen various previews which were all rather mixed and had a "better wait for more details" attitude. Even those who played it on here said there are awkward design decisions, making them not want to buy it.

Just saying "it's Bomberman, we know what it is" is a stupid thing to say. That's what Bomberman for X360 best illustrates.

But if you don't really care about your gaming budget and just want a new Bomberman regardless of quality, go ahead and buy it. If it's halfway decent, I'd consider it at EUR10 maximum.

I did a search for Bomberman in this thread, in the posts made during the past month:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1333459

The average impressions in that thread from playing the game don't seem to support what you're saying. But I'm sure you'll find individual posters to support your claims somewhere.

Man, seeing this thread growing by almost 2 pages over night has given me hope for some early info. Clicking in and reading and ...

Hopefully, when the previews start rolling in, we'll get a better idea of how easy it is to access other region's stores. I don't really want to be locked to the UK store forever, and seeing as how the console's not region locked anymore I'd hope that it's at least possible to do so.

A journalist from gamekult posted this right now about Zelda, quite frightening
He's a pigist and says he didn't like Skyward Sword so he's not hyped for the next episode.

Nothing to see.

Or he lied and did play it, said he does not like it, and got suddenly got afraid breaking NDA.

read his newer tweets, he hasn't even played the game.
Just not hyped about a new zelda.

Le ressenti que j'ai en lisant tous les articles sur le jeu et la direction prise par la série. Pas joué.
The feel I have by reading all the articles about the game and the direction taken by the series. Not played.
He's simply trying to get clicks for gamekult, nothing more...
 
I guess if Super Paper Mario ever gets re-released the famous quote should be changed to:

"I love tweeting to complain about
games I've never played!"

I can get not liking Skyward Sword, but what about BotW tells you it won't atleast be a good Zelda game? They've already shown the required components for this to be a good Zelda game. Now we just have to wait and see if it ends up being a great or amazing zelda game.

It's not.
On GameKult there is 2 fans of japanese games and specialy Rpg. Others prefer AAA and I'm not even talking about indies, they rarely news about them (only about big success)
So like anyone will tell you "when you want to be talked by an media outlet choose your target/journalist as a gamedev". Journalists hate to be contacted for something they don't like.
Here it's similar, a guy who isn't into Zelda since a long time was choosen to test.

"it's a nice bit of tech but we'll have to see whether Nintendo delivers or repeats the same mistakes as before"

I just wrote every hardware review we'll be reading four hours from now, you can thank me later.

I'll be excited for tomorrow at that time when we can finally read some coded impressions of Zelda.

I mean what else could you possibly want from a Zelda game?

It's just that I'm tired as fuck of open world games and I'm not trusting Nintendo to avoid doing the same mistakes every "my first open world" game made.
Also why I'm not playing Horizon anytime soon.

I'll be happy to be wrong however.

So all the gameplay vids of the Great Plateau have done nothing for you? It's allegedly the most empty area in the game, so you might be in luck. But if these videos don't excite you, I'm not sure the game as a whole will.

Clickbait author? (avant le lettre)

He's a freelance journalist, he does some reviews for Gamekult. Last one I remember was Civ VI. He also runs a videogame podcast.
The journalist in charge of the Zelda review at Gamekult is Boulapoire (French journalists love their aliases) who claims to have liked Skyward Sword better than Twilight Princess, although he's all about the original NES Zelda (if that makes sense ;). He gave Horizon a 7/10 if that's of any relevance.
 
Keep that shit for yourself, he's just expressing an opinion.

If that was the case he can simply tweet that he's not hyped or he doesn't like skyward sword.
A journalist, that reviews games for gamekult, tweeting the death of zelda without context one week before the launch of a new zelda is not a professional thing to do.

Should be changed to GAF instead.

He can do whatever the fuck he wants on his Twitter account, he's not committed or responsible of gamekult. He's a freelance journalist.
