The freedom and joyous traversal ruined other games for me.

Obvious room for improvement by adding dungeons and more towns throughout the world in sequels, now that the engine is complete.

It's a great game, dont get me wrong, but there were some things I'd like to see changed

-Make exploration more then just about shrines and korok seeds
-Change of settings, the ancient sheikah mumbo jumbo in every shrine and dungeon lost it's novelty
-Expand upon the dungeons, return to the map/compas/big key formula. I liked manupulating your surroundings to do puzzles though
-More enemy variety, really hoped we'd get a darknut or something.

>>376820026

Well at least you admit to not really liking video games very much.

>>376820026
Game would have been better with more zelda enemies. Don't get me wrong, they had some solid picks and the lynels are awesome, but shit there are so many monsters that they left out.
Also more intense side quests would make the game a bit longer. I'm fine with a few fetch quests but I wish there was more things like Majoras Mask had.

>>376822508
Also people will scream this is too much like Witcher, but I would have like side quest that include hunting down deviant versions of enemies and bosses.

>>376822270
It has a lot of average/below average game choices that make it unfun at many points throughout the game.

>>376820026
Considering I've been playing it since the day it released and haven't beaten it yet despite putting over 100 hours into it and I'm still enjoying it and still discovering new things, I would say that nothing went wrong

>>376822394

I LOVE video games I just hate terribly made ones that focus on "muh open world" and "muh waifus" instead of actual optimization in the code.

No dungeons. Not enough enemy variety. Everything else was fine.

>>376822148
This is a good one.

It's a solid game, so close to being amazing, but just not quite there. There are so many monsters they just left out. It would have been cool to seem so older zelda bosses be overworld bosses.

The ugliest Zelda ever created.

It's the best 3D Zelda and the best game in the series behind Link to the Past. It has room for improvement because any creative work does, but I'm head over heels for what the level of exploration and utility of your Sheikah Slate abilities brought to the table

The talkie bits are now way too lengthy and hamfisted when put against the free form exploration.

I didn't feel involved in the Zora drama with the elderly chancellor (or whatever he was) at all. It was entirely on rails.

Happiness is a warm A-button.

>>376822148
You nailed it. If the devs can figure these facts out for themselves the next "BotW" might be god tier.

>>376822768
Do you actually know what you're talking about though?

It might be a highly optimized game, but you have to prioritize somewhere.

If you'd said that you hate designers that prioritize game functionality over a achieving a certain framerate, I'd understand what you were talking about, I just wouldn't agree.

>Lack of enemy variety, tons of reskins with similar methods of attack, but better weapons
>AI is brain dead as fuck and you can walk past almost every group of enemy with ease to the point combat is almost pointless
>Combat mechanics are poorly implemented. You can't roll, so dodging is tied to locking on, which means enemies that use distance to reapproach are annoying to dodge.
>Awful combat combos/animations, literally 2 swing cycles per weapon
>Arrows are over powered and never feel good to use
>The music fucking sucks, even going as far as butchering old themes
>World bosses are complete garbage to fight and are about as interesting as a regular enemy with more health, once you realize there is almost no point in fighting them
>Korok seeds and shrines encompass the entire game. Everything you "overcome" meaning a simple physics puzzle most of the time if met with meager rewards you always expect and know
>No new gadgets beyond the tutorial area, early on, puzzle concepts begin to repeat
>Weapon durability is trash to the point it makes you avoid combat a lot of times
>Physics during combat are wonky and annoying, and serve nothing but having you run after fallen bodies to finish enemies off or collect shit you ultimately dont need
>Dungeons were fucking awful and take around 10 minutes or less to complete
>Writing is worse than most anime, along with amateur voice acting work
>Raining serves no purpose other than to stop your exploring for X minutes; the thunder plains use it once, but only to make a puzzle tedious for the SAME MEAGER AWARD OF AN ORB
>You start the game with nothing, you essentially end it with nothing. Ganon and his castle had worse design than Dark Souls 2 fodder, and the end fights feel pointless
>Ultimately, it feels like an early access game in an engine where they put a bunch of gimmicky physics in that never amount to anything useful longterm

The exploration is what they did mostly right, but everything else sucked.

>>376823076

I dont know where they'll go from here, going back to a linear game seems hard after they pulled off open world really good. But making it open world again means they have to throw in a different gimmick to not make the games look near identical.

Perhaps go back to weapons/items that dont break, keep it open world and have old zelda styled dungeons that can be accesed in any order. Like a link between worlds did.

>>376823360

>you have to prioritize somewhere.
And they should've prioritized the frame rate. I don't tolerate them making sacrifices when I'm paying full price, plus 60 dollars in amiibo DLC and season passes. It's bad enough that they "totally didn't chop out content to sell me later, we totally promise *wink wink*" but they think voice acting and particle effects are more important than basic gameplay performance.

>>376821345

>Exploration
All open world exploration is great. Until you realize the world isn't worth exploring. Hyrule (BotW) is no exception. It's so vast, but it's so boring. The world has no architecture, no mystery. It's what I imagine the world of Xenoblade Chronicles looked like before somebody sat down and wrote an original storyline with a world to accompany it.

So when you're done climbing for a couple of minutes to the tallest peak, or doing a few laps around Death Mountain, laughing yourself to death because the scale of the largely reused setpieces is ironically a bullet to the foot, you can move on to Shrines and Sidequests, maybe finding a few dozen Koroks along the way.

>Shrines/Puzzles
Shrines don't have lore dumps, 100/120 of them are either 2 minutes long or are puzzle-less. The reward is generally worthless because cooking is unbalanced and breaks any necessity to heart pieces or the stamina bar. The first one looked interesting, but by the time I finished the fourth mandatory Shrine, my eyes strained from the blue light in a manner similar to Lost Izalith. I'm glad the game has puzzles, but they're just more Zelda puzzles. They're just standard Zelda puzzles, despite the long-delayed addition of physics. Very few make you skip a beat, and they aren't satisfying to figure out, assuming the title of the fucking shrine doesn't tell you the solution.

>Story
Recycled plotline. Not much else to say. Nothing to get invested in, no mystery, no characters.

>Combat
Serviceable, despite it ironically being almost completely optional. I guess if you're not going to even try and update or overhaul your combat, you may as well just make every enemy in the game avoidable.

>Nothing ventured, nothing gained
>Cont.

>>376823734
The game looks like shit, ultimately. THey are just bad at optimizing the game.

Shit like DOF and the frame pacing were poorly done. Nintendo can't program HD games for shit, look at Mario 3D World that overuses bloom to amateur levels.

>>376823734
Well I don't agree.

I'd rather have the game function the way it does.

And if you bought the Amiibos and season pass I don't know what the fuck is even wrong with you.

Why didn't you watch a review to see if there was anything you'd be unhappy with? The framerate has never been kept secret.

>>376822884
I kept hoping to find overworld bosses that were old Zelda enemies and bosses we've never seen in 3D but I never did. They totally could've gone all out with Zelda 1 nostalgia in so many ways. Gleeok, Manhandla, Dodongo, a Gohma battle that we haven't seen in a Zelda game for a while

>>376823905
>THey are just bad at optimizing the game.

Because literally every outlet is just jerking off the game as the second coming. Not a single person gave an honest review.

I want Nintendo to release a free joke DLC where weapons are unbreakable and you've got the triumphant overworld music playing nonstop

>Atmosphere/Hyrule
Calamity is extremely ambiguous and seems to have only really occurred in 2 or 3 specific areas, yet Hyrule is extremely desolate with Goron "City" having a population of approximately 15 Gorons. Nobody in Hyrule seems afraid of the Calamity that occured, the impending Calamity, or the Calamity right outside their doorstep, and the Calamity doesn't seem to care either. Calamity isn't a character, and doesn't seem to do anything. Monsters don't do anything, story or gameplay wise. Guardians don't do anything. The Divine Beasts don't even do anything, and even when they do something as serious as cut off the main export of a whole baker's dozen gorons, the gorons just stand there grinning like comedic relief from a game with an issue picking a tone, or doing any of them right.

>Dungeons
Worst in the franchise. Aesthetically identical, featuring the same puzzle gimmick. Shoot eyeballs, rotate chassis, shoot the "boss" with 3 of the 300 elemental arrows the game shoves in your backpack against your will. 10 minutes, in and out. 5 in the case of the bird. Not to mention that the Divine Beasts feature a pit of death, so they are separate from the game world.

Call me crazy but I was expecting the Divine Beasts to be grand, enemy strongholds that actually did something in the story and during gameplay. I figured you'd be able to get some items (hookshot, maybe) or stamina and storm it, fending off dozens of enemies inside, venturing through a mechanized wonder of engineering never seen in the universe before.

>Expecting level design and heroism in Legend of Zelda
Hell, I must be crazy.

I could go on, but these are the biggest issues. Shit like...

>Villages
They're small. Like really small. I pretty much covered this in the Atmosphere section, but it is notable. When your apocalyptic plot device is incredibly vague, and appears to not have affected much aside from Castle Town (which in itself appears to have been the size of a prison yard), The Hyrule Garrison, and Fort Hateno, it's hard to believe that Hyrule is as unpopulated as it is. Did everybody die in an all out war? Why can't we witness it, or play it? Why is nobody in Hyrule mounting a defense? Then again, what would they be defending against? Ganon's apparently rampant forces aren't doing anything. They aren't pillaging or burning, they're just waiting in their little MMO trash mobs. Villages/The entire game have no worthwhile characters, even the key players like the Chieftains of the villages, or the force ghosts of the Champions, are horribly generic.

To reiterate though; The architecture of the villages themselves is very lacking. The only one that actually made me stop and look back at it for a minute was Zora's Domain, until I realized it's Peter Jackson's interpretation of Lothlorien from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and there still isn't anything to do in it, apart from look at it.

This is why people say the world feels dead; Because nothing happens. Ever. Story or gameplay-wise, It's just a limp fish, waiting for (You) to poke it, and once you do you get pretty much exactly what you should have been expecting.

>>376825260
I think it's an inconvenience, but I wouldn't call it shit.

>>376824554
But quite many of them do mention the framerate. And again, it wasn't ever a secret. Not from trailers and not from video reviews.

You could have just not bought the game.

>>376820026
Elemental Weapons are hard to come by.

>>376826393

So what, if I don't buy the game, I "haven't experienced the game properly" but if I DID buy the game, then I'm not allowed to complain because "hurr you waste your money".

What the hell kind of commie country is this when I can't even slightly criticize a product regardless of whether I bought it or not? Every single reviewer said, and I quote, "the 30 FPS is artistic license, the game is totally great without it". How was I supposed to know that every single one of them was a paid shill?
