How can other open world games even compete?

>>376894274
open world games are all the same but this one has zelda slapped on the title so it's 10/10 I guess

>>376894429
>open world games are all the same

Nope. But if it makes you feel better keep on believing it.

easy, by having monolith soft have a bigger role

See: xenoblade x having a better world

>How can a game compete against the game of the decade in the same genre?

duh, they cannot.

BotW is actually exceptionally better, but people refuse to believe that because fuck nintendo amirite? even though it's entirely possible because they have made countless classics over the years and to shit on their legacy is just being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

>broke his neck

>>376894274
I thought it was alright but definitely not a 10/10.

We have a bunch of legend of zeldas that are much better.

>>376894274
Is it worth getting the Switch just for this?

>>376897570
Right now? Not even close, game is worth like 30-35 max, console is worth less than 200.

>>376897570
You can get a cheap Wii u and get Zelda if you dont want other games for the switch, you might want to wait for e3 if there is anything special

>>376897714
I heard the console costs $270 each to make. Unless you're talking about its value to you personally.

>>376897758
please don´t give advices ever again

>>376897570
Wait until they release the new and improved Switch. Either that or try your luck at emulation.

>>376894793
you're right. they're better because they don't have a shitty weapon degradation system where the BEST items in the game still only last half a dozen hits before breaking.

and they typically have stories that aren't shit in addition to good gameplay.

>>376897570
Most people bought a Switch just to play this game. I know I did. Best game I'vr played in the past 20 years. Although /v/ will forever be assblasted and indenial about it.

I mean, we all know it's going to happen, but has there been any news on that so far?

>...Nintendo will never make region lock optional.
oh no, nintendo has made region lock optional, oh how horrible

>>376900308
BotW's world building doesn't match those games you listed sure it's a lot more subtle but for what world building it does have it's great

>>376899929
How is he lying? Even Skyrim has more unique mob types.

>>376900436
The main issue I have with sandbox sandbox games is that regardless of how much of a blast they are, they are ultimately a fuck around game which leaves a lot less replayability in my opinion.

>>376900346
I wasn't implying that was bad. In fact, I love it.
It's just an example of how going by "previous history" tends to be a major pitfall.

>the new zelda is the best game ever made
it is tho

if you're not some morbidly obese cuck anyway

Fuck anyone who praises this game. Sure the game was OK and nice but holy fuck are you guys dick riders.

Zelda series has always been one of my favorite series but I'm not going to give any of their games a pass just because. In an unbiased opinion, the game is an 8. The lack of a proper story really killed me with this game. The other things in this game just piled on and I can't give this game anything higher than an 8.

Not sure if people these days are just so used to the recent shitty mediocre games that anything that's good becomes the best game ever. And it's true, so many games that released over the past few years were mediocre.

>>376904226
I played BotW on the Switch and agree about it not really being much more than an 8/10. Sure, in terms of exploration, world interactivity and other open world and sandbox mechanics, it's a 10/10. But I don't need 120+ fucking shrines that all look the same giving me more stamina and hearts I don't need, or korok seed nr. 566 out of 900 for more inventory space. I want to find something unique when exploring, and there just isn't enough of that. Even a fucking dragon on top of a snowy mountain leads to another fucking shrine. The damage calculations in the game are pure trash; you either get hammered by trash mob goblins for 8 hearts or you upgrade your armor to trivialize damage. The main dungeons were fun (especially the one in the desert) but they were way too short and there's too few of them.

Do it on a bed with pillows. She probably sat on his face while he was laying on something hard. If you can, just have her sit on the lower portions of your face. Should be stronger....

The best part about face sitting is when only light to medium pressure is applied to your face instead of the whole chick crashing down on you.

Hope this helped.

Nice try Sonyboy. You still have time to sell your nogamestation 4 and buy a Switch and actually play the game. Its okay we wont hate you.

Personally, I found Darksiders II to be more entertaining. Running around an empty world fighting the exact same enemies over and over gets pretty repetitive. At least DSII has some variety.

Most normies think the game is around an 8 or at least everyone I know does. I've yet to see anyone outside of the Internet give the game a 10.
Even though I liked the game I'm gonna have to call bs on your remark. Whenever people point out flaws or negatives about the game, you people just deflect and defend it.

Let's say the most talked about one, the durability system. How the fuck can anyone NOT complain about it. It was an annoyance and the majority agrees that it could've been way better yet people will say it's a good system. They start to sound like shills at that point.

For a 10/10 it needs to be something I personally find very special, and everything has to come together exceptionally well. It can't be just that the gameplay is awesome, the OST incredible, or the easthetics in and of themselves. In games released in the last few years, the game that comes closest to 10/10 in my mind is Bloodborne. I think many /v/irgins can agree on that.

My parents come into my room just to see me play that game and they constantly fawn over how you can climb just about anything and how grand everything is. They also love the graphics (they mean artstyle but cant expect normalfags to know about that). And my friends from university are visiting me more frequently now, knowing I have the Switch and they can play Zelda on it.
I know these are just the people I know, but I still gonna call you out on your bullshit.
The only person so far who proclaims the game is overrated garbage and brings up scores like 6/10 is the dude who bought 4 PSVitas so everyone can play it with him. He is also my best friend and every time with him is magical

>>376907373

I finished the game long before I saw the Joseph Anderson video. A lot of the points he brought up are spot on. If you can argue against the fact that damage calculations are shit, or that the durability system is flawed, then go ahead.

Real gamers who enjoy engaging story, immersive quests, well-written characters, beautiful handcrafted open worlds, and terrific gameplay would play TW3.

Meanwhile, manchildren, Nintentards who can't get over their nostalgia for OoT, little Timmy, and Sarah the gaymer gurl would play BOTW because it has Nintendogshit logo slapped on it.

He's right though.
A Royal Broadsword Dura+ or better lasts for ages, almost as long as the glowing Master Sword

Its so easy to tell which of these kids have actually played the game, and which are just regurgitating things that have been parroted elsewhere.

If anything, I the most annoying thing I think, is the LACK of inventory space.
I'm now carrying Royal / Savage Lynel weapons / shields. Soldier's Shields just because I like the look of them.

For the first bit, Korok seeds were abundant, but you were only allowed 3 or 4 upgrades at any one time.
Only once finally figuring out the Lost Woods, did I manage to scrounge so inventory space for all my goodies.

However, I still feel like I'm leaving good stuff around.
I'd love to have 3 spaces for elemental wands, preferably upgraded. I'd love to have space for elemental swords, both one and twohanded.
I'd love to have space for a good spear for riding, but I'm honestly struggling for Korok seeds with 900 in the game.

BotW definitely has less polished parts.
However, it most certainly has shown how to polish many gameplay mechanics that has been done before, but in a less cohesive way.

BotW has shown developers how to tackle certain gameplay design issues.
BotW has yet to release the Hard Mode DLC IIRC.
Looking forward to it, hoping for an absolutely masochistic experience, all the way from start to end.

>>376907534
If you simply can't afford a ps4 then that's that. But the ps4 has enough good exclusives to be worth it. If you don't have a capable gaming PC it can function perfectly as a multi-plat console as well, even though 60fps is a rarity, so all in all the hardware is good value.

You're gonna call me out on my bs?

Idk about you but people don't visit me to play botw. Maybe the first week when it got leaked early. After that they didn't care about playing it other than one chick that was obsessed over it. I can't blame her since I know for a fact she loves collecting things but still she gave it an 8. I remember we all whipped out our phones and recorded her saying that. She put in 24 hours of playtime over that weekend and had Ironically gave it an 8. I can't imagine what her playtime was after she actually finished the game.


Anyway, I was just mini ranting. Point is, I know a ton of people since college is social. I swear I haven't met one person who deems it a 10. As for wowing your parents with games.... Idk what to say to that man. The only games my parents were ever wowed by were the last of us, the walking dead and some VR demos during the oculus alpha builds.

>>376906924

Framepacing issues is currently a thing. With speedhacks dynamically changing frametime, the game runs closer to 1x across the field, but it still has framepacing issues.

If I were to take shots at Cemu, though, I'd much rather take shots at it for its resource consumption. Its completely bonkers.
24GB ram and an i5 3570k @ 3.4 gets completely floored.

BotW is still a gem, though.

That's the thing, I have a pc. I got on pc the same year the ps4 and xbone were releasing. I'm glad I did instead of getting a ps4 since all I heard about it was that it was weak. It was nonstop debates on YT about how the console will rival pc. I ended up getting swayed onto giving pc a shot and I don't regret it.
Ps4 pro released and proved how weak the hardware originally was.

Now I'm nervous about getting a pro since it feels like another ps is going to be a thing. I also want to upgrade my pc to play in 1440p or 4k.
It's not that I can't afford it, its just that I feel like it's too late in the game.

>>376908313
That's my fear. I don't want to get a pro and then boom a p5 is announced. Even now I'm not completely satisfied with the performance of the consoles. All I want is 60fps so my only option is the pro. A lot of console only games and Sony exclusives are rolling out and I don't want to kiss them.... But at the same time I don't want to jump the gun.

>I don't want to jump the gun.
Sony is just going to remaster PS4 games for the PS5 to fill up its library. Bloodborne remaster, re-releases with all the DLC, shit like that. I think Sony is going to create the PS5 because they want to counter the Scorpio but they might be waiting to see how it performs. It it flops then they'll wait, if it does well they'll release the PS5 earlier to kill it. They don't really have to worry about Nintendo because they cater to different markets.

This series made me kek.

It is weak compared to better PC hardware, of course. It all comes down to if the exclusives are worth it while the console is still relevant, or if you'd rather wait for remasters on newer consoles or emulation. Even if you don't bring PC into it, the ps2 for example was clearly less capable than the xbox. But its exclusive library blew the xbox out of the water, even though the xbox too had its fair share of good exclusives.

>>376909805
Even though I always got all 3 consoles each gen, I never really gravitated towards Xbox much. Had a ton of fun on the og Xbox but I realized later on in life that most of what I played weren't exclusives. Sony was always my preferred console of choice simply for the variety of exclusives they had. Xbox hard has any and Nintendo is stuck doing the same things most of the time.

Still, this is the first console gen where I didn't get all 3 consoles. Only have a wiiU and a switch for now. Holding off for what's to come.

>>376912256
Wow. So that's a "no." Majora's Mask was emotionally compelling, and both it The Witcher made the player care about the characters that existed within their respective worlds that you're trying to save. Nothing I've seen in regard to BoTW has convinced me that it's much more than a vapid sandbox.

So this game doesn't have a story, I guess, even though pretty much every game does these days. Can you at least do anything to make it seem like your decisions actually matter in the world like you can in the Witcher?

>>376912772
holy shit, read some books you fucking pseud

Hopefully by copying the shit out of Zelda. Every open world game should be teeming with interactables, invisible walls should be minimized, and the open world should be a place to house unique content instead of an excuse to reuse content.

Every open world game that doesn't do this has shit gameplay.

>>376906963
So how many hours played makes a game 10/10?

>>376894274
I just finished this last night.

Hyrule Castle was really neat, and had a lot of exploration to it. Ganon was a disappointing two stage boss. First stage was neat, second stage was dull as shit once you got past the "WOW SO HUGE AND EPICCCC"

Plus you don't even get the fucking bow and arrow afterwards. That would have been a nice little reward.

>>376913052
It's more like people who like this game can't even answer whether this game has a story or not. It's like Dark Souls all over again.

"Why is this game good?"
"It's so HARD." / "You can CLIMB."

>>376913312
it definitely has a story...

>>376913312
>It's more like people who like this game
It's more like people who hate this game can do nothing more than literally make shit up to try and downplay anything positive about the game. Autism, only once.

>>376913501
>hate this game

I haven't even played it. But those who have have made some shitty arguments as to why it's worth playing. Autism, not even once.

>>376913052
Because the game has exactly as much story as it needed, so shitposters and nitpickers roll down the perfect pinnacle into the pits of extremism on either side.

Could've used a better ending, but the general approach of making the story basically a sidequest that you did at your own pace was spot on.

>>376907373

I like bloodborne but it's also about an 8/10. The load times when I played it were shit, not being able to directly warp and endure those load screens 2-3 times before arriving at where you needed to go was complete shit on its own.

The base game was pretty shitty for people who enjoyed magic builds, Souls games still handle magic better in fact post-dlc, could probably make the same case for strength builds.

Everything else was perfect.

>>376913812

Estus is also a better healing system than blood vials were.
Fromsoft always move a step back in each of their games.

>>376913812
I don't know what the fuck they were thinking with Arcane initially. The basic projectile spell was DLC, and originally Augur didn't even critical so it wasn't a gun replacement.

>>376913975
They almost perfected it early on and then spent the rest of the series fucking it up.

Kind of like Zelda with OoT's formula, which is why BotW was so refreshing, it pulled them out of the death spiral that gave us SS.

>>376913779
Agreed. Giving the game a traditional story driven mechanic with trigger points would have been completely detrimental to the open ended design that Nintendo were going for.

The way Nintendo breadcrumbed the story into the game, taking into consideration the themes and design of the world, was actually pretty clever.

>>376913053
Salty /v/tards are so threatened by BotW they desperately have to bring up every other well-received game for..... some reason I guess... kek

>>376894274
By having better stories, characters, and side quests.

Not looking like No Man's Sky helps too.

>>376914573
I also like that we're back to Majora's Mask-style dungeon-crawling that actually affects people in the world. It's nice that in accomplishing your objective, you're helping out the local town in some tangible way that they actually recognize.

Felt like being a hero of the world again.

>>376914275

They needed a different resource than quicksilver bullets for magic spells. People might shit on Dark Souls 3 but the mana estus flask swap mechanic was the best idea they'd had yet for mage builds. It's also worth mentioning how awful the invasion mechanics in Bloodborne were, you couldn't even invade other players unless they were summoning themselves.

Gems were a great idea for customization, but most of them had such poor scaling or attributes that you'd be gimping yourself to not just select flat damage. The game has a lot to improve on.

>>376915115
Oh my god the gem grind.

There needed to be a shared inventory between characters like the Bottomless Box glitch in Dark Souls, that would've fixed so many problems with Bloodborne.

Making a new build sucks ass when you have to play through 70% of the game to get the one weapon you're actually built to use and then you have to unlock every chalice again to get the gems you need.

By having actual things to find? Why should I waste my time exploring an open world with those kinds of graphics in 2017, I just rushed the game and beat it in 3 days because I'm not autistic enough to explore a game with nothing to find just to look at shit.

>>376918976
so you have shit taste and overrate Bethesda garbage, good to know, leave the thread.

>>376917914
What the fuck are you talking about? BotW's world is literally filled with unique handcrafted content. I played for one hour the other day and found a minigame, a pitch black forest setpiece, a leviathan skeleton I'd been looking for, and an island that spawns an army of skeletons, in a playthrough that I've already spent a hundred hours on where I've beaten the game. The breadth and depth of content makes exploring more worthwhile than any other game, I can pick out map features to visit and I'm guaranteed to see something or get something.

>>376919934
You seem mad that someone wouldn't enjoy walking around an empty map in 30 fps for no reason, lighten up anon.

>>376920063

@376906746
what a piss poor shitposting attempt

When will it happen?

When will the sony pony finally get past the Anger stage and finally accept that BOTW is GOTY, possibly GOTD ?


It's been 2 months, and their anus still hasn't healed from massive leakage. can't be good

>>376919974
But is any of that stuff worth finding? I beat the game without even having a full row of hearts because they decided to make the final boss the easiest one for some reason. If I could find stuff that continued the main story that would make exploring worth it but that probably won't happen till DLC is released.

>>376920347
>But is any of that stuff worth finding?
Moreso than a book or some simon says boss

>>376920501
So a children's minigame, some setpiece when you already completed the game, and an island of enemies you already encountered make it worth it?

>>376920347
What kind of question is that? Of course it's worth finding, it's good handcrafted content, it's the entire reason to play the game.

Are Super Mario Bros. 3 levels worth playing when you can warp to world 8 after the first castle?

>>376920662

This whole 'empty world' meme is an utter desperate lie to try and find some kind of fault with the game. The game is packed with content and amazing discoveries to find.

The game literally exploded all over social media with people excitedly asking each other "what did you do? Where did you go? What did you see?". Everybody was having their own little crazy adventures.

After 160 hours I was still finding new shit everyday.

I will always remember the past 12 months on this board. Watching the same people who devoted so much time and energy to discrediting the switch and Breath Of The Wild - from spreading lies to cherry-picking screenshots - doing everything within their ability to make the console and the game seem bad.

Only to watch their jaws drop in horror as the Switch burst out the gate as a massive overnight success and BotW turned out to be, not just Game Of The Year, but one of the best games ever made.

Fucking glorious. I am actually sore with laughter.

Because there's a very thorough mono no aware atmosphere with a credible threat that we actually get to see. It's not like WW's Ganondorf where the only driving force of the story is KoRL being a plot-device character carrying the idiot ball.

In BotW, there's all these characters who knew you in the past or only hear of your legends, with actual problems that you're solving as part of your adventure. It feels like the quiet post-post apocalypse Wind Waker should have been but wasn't.

It's okay, you have a completely irrational hatred of a video game company, we get it. Wipe the foam from your mouth.

I'm currently going through it. Can someone explain to me how this is better than even Fallout NV or Skyrim, both of which are last gen? The cooking system is crude af, you can tell it was thrown in last second.

>Oh yeah just throw food near a fire it'll cook!
>Just throw shit into a pot to make dishes or elixirs!

On top of which, ingredients are fucking useless UNLESS they've been cooked into something instead of having a minimal effect on their own.

A lot, and I mean pretty much all except for Diamonds are entirely useless and only used for rupee fodder. Your weapon durability is fucking worse than Dark Souls 2 SotFS pre-patch.

Stamina is insanely pointless outside of preventing you from scaling any mountain/building you please. Why it was applied to both sprinting and charge attacks is beyond me. Clearly trying to pull in the Souls crowd but does a shit job at emulating what makes Stamina management good.

Also the Divine Beasts are a fucking joke if they were supposed to be the true dungeons because the shrines are distractions at best. I seriously hope the one I did was just trash and the others are better.

This game is so fucking basic in terms of the gameplay elements it had, how anyone can see it as anymore than a 6/10 is beyond me. I'm not talking IGN scale, here. It's only slightly better than okay.

Ah, yes I love exploring vast yet empty worlds with nothing but 5-minute shrines and small enemy camps peppered throughout. All while being unable to call my horse whenever I want because for some fucking reason they didn't like that you can do that in previous games of the series.

The meat of the game is when you're near the Divine Beasts and the areas surrounding them are not that big. It's insanely pointless to have all this empty ground.

Nintendo babies will say you're supposed to waste your time exploring the world to find pointless shit, just rush through the game because the final boss is so fucking easy you will feel cheated if you waste time building up resources to fight him past defeating the Divine Beasts.
>>376930998
All the Divine Beasts are easy because its a children's video game, nintendo doesn't make challenging games anymore.

>>376932198
Anon I played the game without a nintendo console nor buying it, and I found it amazing.

You just have shit taste, nothing to worry about.

>>376932376
Taste has nothing to do with the objective fact that there isn't shit to do in the open world.

They can actually fill the world with stuff to do that isnt:

>Fetch quests that garner zero reward, even toward completion percentage
>900 repetetive, braindead puzzles that garner no significant reward after half of them are earned. Filling the game with false content like this is shameful.
>Copy and paste stables all over the map
>Hey I wonder what I'm gonna get from this cool- oh its just another shrine

LONG way to go to being a 10/10. This isnt saying the game isnt fun or innovative, but you're blind if you think its the epitome of perfection

>>376931623
>It's insanely pointless to have all this empty ground.

This complete nonsense. The game is packed with content. Do you want enemies jam packed every square foot? That would be fucking ridiculous. You need areas of space to let the landscape breathe and make the world feel real. The complaints levelled at BotW are cringe-worthy desperate nitpicks elevated to being pretend game-breaking faults.

>T-the game only has 20 odd unique individual enemies, each with various levels and around 3 elemental variations. The game is shit! It MUST be shit!

>>376932689
But the game is mostyl empty anon. "Jampacked" with content? Are you delusional? Not to mention the story and voice acting are shit.

>>376932689
The size is unnecessary for what's being offered within it. On top of which they removed the ability to call your horse wherever even though that was present in previous games which were nowhere near as big. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Even then I have a horse with max speed and it's still a drag to trek about.

>You can fast travel
Only if you already got to the destination beforehand, not into unexplored territory.

>You need areas of space to let the landscape breathe and make the world feel real
Talk about fucking cringeworthy, you're actually trying to justify game padding.

>>376933167
4 devine beast dungeons
7 towns with their own unique locals
120 shrines
900 fucking korok puzzles
Over 100 miniboss battles
Tons of mini games and treasure everywhere
Over 70 sidequests
Yiga hideout

Just to name a few things off the top of my head. I played about 180 hours and my completion rate was only 41%. Crying about lack of content won't make it true kiddo.

>>you're actually trying to justify game padding.

It's a personal thing. The most memorable moments for me happened just when I was exploring - find a new cave, uncovering a forgetten temple, scaling the summit of a mountain just as the sun was setting. The journey was often better than the destination.

I guess I just had more fun than you.

>>376905063

It just sounds like you played a bit, heard some other opinions, then made up your mind.

>>376906781
They did respond to it though. The durability system really only seems unfair in the first hour. Once you start actually getting equipment (now that the shit durability in the beginning has forced you to diversify and try new things), you lose maybe one weapon per fight, and even less as time goes on (I could get through 4-5 fights with only maining one weapon).

You keep saying durability and durability, and it literally isn't near as bad as you say it is. You have to manage and control what weapons you use for which enemies, that's really it.

The durability system actually grew on me after a while though. It gives me an excuse to do silly shit like light my club on fire and toss it into explosives without being concerned that I lost something important. It also gives the Master Sword a purpose by making it a solid option at all times, even if it isn't the absolute best at all times. In past games you really didn't have a reason to use the Master Sword once you get the statistically better option like the Biggoron Sword. This time you do.

Skyward Sword got several 10/10 despite being anything but open world.

The only fun part of the game was the first five minutes. After the old man leaves you, the game becomes instantly your typical open world trash. The only solace I had was Paya and even she was a shallow character. She could have easily took on a more more engaging role, but muh open world ruined everything good about a zelda game.

>>376898623
>you're right. they're better because they don't have a shitty weapon degradation system where the BEST items in the game still only last half a dozen hits before breaking.
This argument is so fucking weak and stale. Fucking babies crying over a mechanic in a game that becomes less worrisome the more you play.
>muh story
/v/ spends most of it's time championing gameplay over stories yet most of the games I see getting "GOTY" status from people over BotW are almost entirely being given this position based on their story rather than gameplay (Nier: Automata and Person 5 for instance). BotW doesn't even have a horrible story, it's a nice twist on the usual Zelda plot featuring a neurotic Zelda who isn't sure of herself. However it's also obviously not the draw of the game, as with all other entries in the series. TW3 has very good writing for a video game, but the game itself fucking blows (/v/ still jerks off over it, and you'll notice 95% of TW3 threads are about the story or characters rather than the game itself just like with Nier and P5, which proves my point).

Only to watch their jaws drop in horror as the Switch burst out the gate as a massive overnight success and BotW turned out to be, not just Game Of The Year, but one of the best games ever made.

>>376928042
>>No new attack patterns
>>No new enemies
>>No enemy relocation
I am not saying that the hard mode will be great or anything.
But all these points are actually false.
Enemies in the hard mode aren't just given higher damage and health. They're ranked up one rank each. And higher ranked enemies do have new attack patterns and improved AI compared to lower ranked enemies. And since the hard mode is also meant to come with a completely new rank, that means new attack patterns and further improved AI.
Though I suppose you could argue that gold/whatever Lynel, Hinox, or Bokoblin aren't technically "new" enemies. And I'd concede on that point. But even then they were kind of hinting at the possibility of a new enemy/boss/something even so.
And new enemy locations was also confirmed.

Like. It's fine to be disappointed in the hard mode. But I see no reason to lie about the mode.

It's really the opposite though. Late game weapons last much longer.
Weapon durability actually matters far more in the early game since early weapons are much more fragile.

By the time you start to regularly fight higher ranked enemies weapon durability almost becomes a non issue.

>>376937852
Weapon durability sucks when your enemies have higher health values than the weapons you pick up.

>>376902173
If you're 12 years old I can see where you're coming from. Any older and denying the obvious influences Nintendo has had on the industry makes you an idiot. Nintendo pretty much pioneered the third dimension for platformers and adventure games, forced other companies to recognize motion controls with the Wii, and even lead the industry back in their prime. This is all without mentioning their influences on portable gaming, a trend which is currently being developed even with the switch. Despite your feelings on the switch, it is still a novel idea that will have interesting repercussions on the landscape. You may think your opinion makes you seem unique or refined or something, but you really shouldn't be so proud of your stupidity. Unless you're baiting. In which case thanks for being worthless.

Do whatever you feel like in the end. It's not as if anything I say is likely to sway you.

But if you're ever going to give the game a go. You really should aim to finish and get off the starting plateau. And then I'd recommend at the very least travelling to one of the non-Hylian cities.
Which is quite likely to take just a few hours at the very least.
But jusging the game on the plateau alone isn't really that representative of the game at large.

If you don't feel like doing that, fine. But just know that you haven't really tried the game until you have.

>>376938185

I'll admit I haven't kept up on the game because I beat it so long ago and put my switch away so it doesnt get dirty while I wait for Splatoon 2 to drop. I skimmed through the dlc info and just assumed it was making the enemies health sponges and deal more damage. I might buy the dlc if its like what you're saying it will be.

This killed BotW for me. They took my favorite part of the series and subdivided it into bite-size chunks that would comprise a decent grotto in any other Zelda. I respect that the series was initially about exploration but the thing with exploring is that you're rewarded with something worth your time and effort, and I personally think that BotW struggled with that as its answer to what was worthwhile just wasn't satisfying enough for me.

>>376939174
>>shrines instead of actual dungeons
But the shrines aren't the equivalent of the dungeons.
And of course, you're just ignoring the divine beasts and hyrule castle.

The shrines are more the equivalent to the holes and caves you'd find on the overworld of the other games.
But all of a sudden people demand that they have to be on the same level of dungeons.

And I'd have absolutely loved more actual dungeons in the game for sure. But that doesn't mean that shrines are dungeons. They aren't and neither were the holes and caves of the older games.

>>376939529
I'm pretty sure giving you a GPS, arrows and every waypoint imaginable is precisely what they do in every other open world game ever to cater to low IQ individuals such as yourself.

>>376939576
One of the bigger issues for me is that there is nothing to explore. You've seen this world before, and there aren't any dungeons to crawl or interesting locales.

Even when you get to the recycled setpieces, they are ironically small. Hyrule is so underdeveloped, and the atmosphere/tone is completely different in cutscenes compared to the gameplay.

The story isn't even a mystery. What the fuck is anybody's motivation for finishing this game? The combat? I dropped it at the fourth divine beast.

Reminds me a lot of No Man's Sky

>>376939576
This. Exploring is fun, but the game doesn't do a good enough job of giving unique rewards, there's too much focus on upgrading health, stamina and storage through shrines or korok seeds. For how much handy-crafted locations there are, it's a shame you can predict 9/10 times what exploration will give you.

>>376939715
This is what BotW does extremely well. Very little hand-holding, minimal use of waypoints, and even when you unlock the Ubi towers, the only new information you get is general topography and toponyms.

>>376897570
Fuck no. It's one in a thousand open world games. This one has Nintendo pollish and is probably the best in the genre, but ultimately it's just one of many in a garbage genre.

It completelyails to be a strong Zelda title, or even a Zelda title at all really, but is arguably one of the best open world sandboxs to exist. I don't consider it worth dropping the 50 dollars on, and I own a wiiU. Open world games are trash and BoTW has none of the elements that I bought Zelda titles for.

>>376939529
I don't why I bother but I'll bite anyway.

BotW doesn't tell you a fucking thing about how to play. Everything has to be discovered and learned, even the main game mechanics like cooking. Everything is on the player to man up and take control. There is NO handholding whatsoever.

Gaining portions of map from the various towers gives you nothing but the basic layout of the province. Every other type of open game spoon feeds the player with objectives and area of interest. But in BotW YOU have to discover all that for yourself.

All this encourages the player to experiment and explore, to push the boundaries of the games mechanics and find or fashion their own solitions to the situations they find themselves in. The fact the game literally says "go where ever the fuck you want without limitation" shows that Nintendo have a helluva lot of confidence in the game's design and willingness to let the player find their own way with constantly nudging them in one direction. That's a pretty mature design choice.

What really gets me about BotW is that it fails to be a Zelda, but at the same time is a fantastic foundation to what could be the greatest Zelda ever made. BotW absolutely nails overworld exploration and town design, but everything else seems to have fallen by the wayside as a result. If we can keep what BotW got right but bring the rest of the core Zelda formula up to speed (especially the dungeons) we could have something well and truly special on out hands. As it stands, BotW only feels partially realized, but I do think Aonuma and pals are at least on to something.
