Zelda is a clunky outdated action game that would have got 6.0 reviews if it wasn't a zelda game.

One has memorable characters, good soundtrack, solid gameplay, different characters builds with lots of ítems, amazingly fun side activities and minigames (Gwent was the fucking shit) and is overall very well written with expansions so good that they won Game of the Year by themselves.

The other you play as a fuckboi at silky smooth 20 fps where they have to artificially increase game length by making you break your equipment with an empty open world, fucking garbage storyline, characters are mostly furryshit for fags, literally who soundtrack that rewards your activities and exploration with a literal pile of shit instead of building up to something bigger and better and the final boss is one of the most disappointing shitfest of all time.

I didn't even like BOTW, but I'd rather play it than Witcher. Witcher had much better cutscenes and voice acting, but that doesnt really make it a good game.

Witcher 3. Hands down.

I haven't played BotW yet (waiting to cemu to run it at 30fps), but I hope nobody's kidding themselves into believing Zelda has a better story.

BOTW is good. Really good. However:

Witcher 3 is something else entirely. My first playthrough was over 200 hours, and I felt pretty melancholy when I was done. It was like that feeling you get when finished a whole book series and you know there's no more. Potentially the best story-based game I've ever played.

Storywise? Absolutely no. Story in Zelda games has always been weak and contrived.

But gameplay-wise? There's not a single open world game which can touch BotW.

Still have no idea what OP is actually getting at. He probably hasn't played both games.

Witcher 3 is a multiplat which means I can play it so I guess it wins?

I clocked 140+ hours into it and I'm gonna do more because I didn't get all the memories+bought the DLCs.

Witcher 3 came after BOTW for me and it has been a slog so far, though I'm only just past the plot getting direction (Find Ciri) so it could definitely pick up, I hated BOTW during and just after the tutorial.

What is there to like about Witcher 3? I really want to like this game but other than going "Damn my new PC is good" I dont get it.

All the shitposting says otherwise.

Theres no character in zelda that is slightly equivalent in complexity and dept yen, all zelda characters are dumbed down stereotypes of medieval people but in a pg 12 way where you remove all sexuality and straight up visceral and dark tone of said times and replace them with a world made of pillows for tards not to get hurt mentally or (in game) physically.

BotW was more fun minute to minute for me. Traveling is just very enjoyable in it, regardless of what you found. Witcher I didn't enjoy traveling that much, but the visuals and storyline were great.

Since dicking around is the best part of any Open World game and combat wasn't necessarily outstanding in either I guess I'd say I enjoyed BotW's open world more.

BotW: movement based, action oriented open world that is extremely gamey.
W3: realism based, story driven open world. Not gamey by design at all and playing the game through gamey open world methods absolutely fucking sucks compared to playing it as a realistic story simulator

Whoops.
Zelda feels like a real organic world. All of the simple mechanics working in tandem to create emergent gameplay situations is fucking sublime. All of the variety in ways I can approach combat and all the different ways even very similar fights can go are amazing and how well balanced your options are is pretty amazing too. All of the enemies (while there DO need to be more) are well defined from one another and their different presences impact the fights dramatically. I kept expecting to reach the point where the game ran out of stuff to show me and I spent the final hours of the game in monotony but it never came. I was oohing and ahhing at this game from start to finish.

Sheikah Slate abilities, guardian abilities, and gear/unique weapons to replace items worked really well although it might be prudent to add a few more items back in some way shape or form, put boomerang swords more in the spotlight, make wands more distinct from swords, etc. And maybe do something to spice up sheikah slate progression a bit.

Shrines were probably the thing I expected to hate the most but I ended up loving. The puzzles shrines that exist stay fresh all the way through, Shrine quests were mostly well done and had good rewards, combat shrines were questionable, at least the weapons changed (doesn't do a whole hell of a lot) but we needed arenas with the large/flying/turret guardians, multiple guardians, special arenas, etc if they were going to go that route.

Honestly out of everything in BotW the biggest thing I think need improving are the quests, the towns, and needing more to keep and eye out for in the world.

Zelda botw is the bloodborne equivalent for ninteniggers ... years will go buy, dust will settle over their consoles but they will remember it as it was the highiest peak of their lives because for the moment they were playing it, they felt that the 300 + 60 buckaroos they spend on it paid off in content, and so they will sit together with their chosen console as they pay for their online and buy every other mediocre title while they wait in denial "this could be it, this could be the next zelda/bloodborne" but its not, its just another mediocre title for their mediocre console and dust buries them together while they battle online for who made the best purchase choice.

They aren't really comparable, one is an RPG and the other was an action game. It would be better to compare Zelda to well... Darksiders and Darksiders is literally Zelda but actually good. So... There's your answer

official witcher 3 review.

all non-quest related things you can find on the world are copy paste boring shit
no one will talk to you unless they are quest related and you have the quest that requires them
awful ui made for consoles and only 2 consumable slots, making alch spec a chore
no resource management, you just instantly get all your potions back for whats essentiallly free
enemys have 1, maybe 2, attack that they repeat over and over, making fights absolutely boring after an hour
level system only works to the games detriment, as youll quickly outlevel everything you have to do and it will all be easier than the game already is
coming across a SKULL WARNING SIGN monster should be exciting but it's not, because you know it fights exactly the same as all the others of its kind, only with more hp.
"cinematic" controls that ignore accuracy in favor of looking more natural
even death march is easy as fuck due to a lack of enemy attack variety and every ability you can spec into being way too strong
ciri sections are boring and unneeded and only serve to rob you of what could have been the one interesting boss fight in the game.
the final moments of the story seem rushed as fuck, from oh hi crones now we fight, to im eredin i have a secret, im dying my secret is this guy tricked us and i had no plan to deal with it, to oh actually geralt i didnt trick you
majority of loot is randomized and scales to your level. Nothing you find really excites you.
all enemies have an extremely short tether that you will cross unintentionally more often than not. At this point they ignore you and start walking back to the center of the area or hang around to get hit easily
witcher senses are only ever used when the quest requires it and is just hold right click to follow quest arrow. you cant actually track monsters or anything out in the world(and why would you need to? theyre all tethered to a small location and never move away)

6/10 game. Had potential, wasted it.

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 utter fucking 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.

>This game thats been championed the fuck around /v/ for the last two years is a story driven game

Planetscape Torment and Final Fantasy 7 have been championed around the Internet for the last 20 years and both are story driven games. Gameplay's fun, so while not caring about plot and characters isn't as much of a hindrance with Witcher 3 as it would be with the overwhelming bulk of highly acclaimed RPGs, if you don't care much of its appeal is still wasted on you.

>>377168194
This. Bloodborne was the weakest souls game. Well actually DS2 is but bloodborne is really fighting hard for that spot. I think people just get excited because it's an exclusive and the art direction was phenomenal but the actual gameplay was rather lackluster.

Nothing in the Witcher compares to Eventide Island. That was just pure gaming bliss.

Are you fucking retarded? The entire point of an open world is to explore it and the content they have provided is so miniscule that it defeats the point. It completely fails at what it sets out to do and its hilarious you even try to dismiss it because "other games get repetetive. Spoiler, other games also have more content than a bunch of half assed POIs. Side quests are hardly even out in the open world, most given in towns and instead bring you to one of the few setpieces they actually made. There is nothing the open world adds to the game.

>>377168651

I had more of a motivation to explore W3's ? marks than Zelda. Halfway through Zelda, I realized that every meaningful quest leads to essentially another shrine. Every side quest that isn't a race/collectathon/kill x is a shrine quest. Outside of that, there's just korok seeds. I stopped bothering once I got enough upgrades to be comfortable enough.

W3 has quests that lead all across the map, many have actual dialogue, objectives and isn't just a copy pasted objective with a different skin. Quests reward unique gear like the School equipment and there's an actual incentive to find recipes, oils, artifacts.

Why are people so salty about BotW?

W3 probably has the best looking open world game to date with it's amount of variety and not really samey looking areas plus it's beautiful blowing wind in the trees and grass and stuff but BotW has all the gameplay and exploration, W3 gameplay is significantly worse and exploration sucks balls despite having variety in environments.

Witcher 3 is THE normie filter.
All the faggots who secretly enjoy story driven games with shitty gameplay now come out of the closet because they get backed up by their fellow Witcherfags.
I played both games and the only thing I like about Witcher 3 is the gritty and dark atmosphere but that ones on the books though.
Really, Witcher 3 is just a directed experience to transfer the content of the books in a cinematic manner to the viewer.
It's the perfect indicator to show who can appreciate good games and who gets fooled by pretty graffix.

Meanwhile, Zelda is vidya from start to just before the final boss cause he suck's.

I don't even know why I'm replying. This thread is just full of uneducated shitflining and low effore trolling

>>377163080
Breath of the Wild has some novel ideas which are elevated just by virtue of being in a Nintendo game (because they don't typically develop this far outside their comfort zone). It's a good game, but it lacks the things that make Witcher 3 truly great (characters, writing, a real story, graphics more recent than 2006).

Taking one 7/10 and trying to enshrine it as the only trustworthy review because it's the only contrary one they could find is just sad.

SlClaiming that TW3 was even a great game is such a huge fucking con it's unreal. Literally nonexistent fucktarded gameplay. When you think the game could seriously get good, it's already fucking ended and reminded you you're a cuck for trying to get enjoyment from it.

>>377172034
I'd have to disagree, and could only call them equals at best.

I'd say the OSTs are the same if you include the compositions that appeared in the trailer but are still part of the games OST, Morrowind's Soundtrack is actually quite weak, it has very few strong themes and is easily eclipsed by Skyrim/Oblivion, even though both borrow Morrowind's main theme.

Better lore and Story is a given but for Breath of the Wild these don't matter, it's not an RPG and doesn't rely on it's story or lore, neither are things like roleplaying, and even then, for the most part Morrowind is poor in the aspect of RPG.character building, it's really just fun to game the game, which Breath of the Wild also lets you do.

Side quests yes and no, Breath of the Wild has a few really good sidequests, like the Shrine ones which eclipse Morrowind's one in terms of gameplay, but absolutely not

Breath of the Wild is also not reliant on the map, navigation is done far far better than any other open world game and there are a lot of NPCs that give out written directions.

Towns are better but I absolutely cannot stand the fact that internal cells are inconsistent with the outside world, and the stupid fucking quirks like towns being so close together, then there are things like NPCs being pretty much static, which just kills immersion for me which is at Morrowind's cores
>>377172101

fo3 has some of the worst RPG combat of all time, especially since the RPG mechanics are lacking/broken/absent and shooting without vats is a fucking nightmare

Wait, why did you start talking about Witcher 3 mid-sentence?

Can anyone who dislikes W3's combat say anything specifically as to why they disliked it and not via webms?

>>377176705
>it's an anon pretends fo3 was anything other than unplayable garbage he has nostalgia for playing when he was 10 years old and his friends played it too episode

it's an anon mocks something he hasn't played episode

>>377176825
as somebody who defend TW3 the lock on system is fucking shit and needs to be abolished or replaced through mods to be fun, and luckily both options are available

enhanced targeting system + e3dodge is pretty fucking great

I thought that was Bornie Sanders

>I can't even google gameplay videos about a game I'm shitposting about

>>377176713
its fair but the shitter in me enjoyed the ridiculous dodge of witcher 3

>>377176825
It's shallow

>>377176825
I stopped playing because I kept getting a bug mid combat where I would get locked out of combat, even in the middle of a fight. Apparently it was fairly common.

>>377176825
enemies and bosses are completely braindead have extremely limited move sets that amount to spamming one move over and over. Flying enemies have no reason to fly because that's just a free stun from your xbow. It's unbelievably boring and makes combat feels like a chore since there is also hardly any enemy variety. So you have a small handful of enemies each with 1-3 attacks at most. Even if the witcher had a decent core combat system the enemy design would still bring it down

>>377177096
So is Zelda's

>>377169380

Except Zeldas combat isn't limited to just hitting the enemy with a sword

>>377177184
In Zelda the ways you can take down an enemy is limited to your creativity, try playing the game before shitposting.

>>377177170

Basically described Zelda.

Signs, bombs, potions, oils, crossbow, mutagen

>muh creativity

Please enlighten me on how approaching a bokoblin camp in the most roundabout way possible is amazing gameplay. It's like saying luring bandits near cliffs in Skyrim to shout them off is fun and engaging and not boring after the 1st 2 times.

>It's like saying luring bandits near cliffs in Skyrim to shout them off is fun and engaging
you're damn right that's still fun

>>377177607
Once again those are all specific combat options
Zelda has systems that allow you to damag3 enemies without relying on spells or gear to directly harm your enemies

>>377164102
It's FAR less clunky than Zelda

100% ludo in webm related.

>>377177705
it's much closer to Crysis due to the environment interaction and verticality of movement. You really only have 2 or 3 choices in enemy encounters but that's more than almost any other game and it shakes things up enough so that very few are the same

>>377177904
>mfw trying to do this
every time my sword was about to get hit I'd throw it at the Hinox but i'd throw it too early so it'd break before lightning struck. I did it three times, I was so fucking pissed. Then I tried using magnesis to hold the sword on the hinox and that didn't work either. You must only be able to pull it off with a boomerang

Yes normies and hot topic goers are clearly skilled gamers that's why they choose zelda to jizz themselves over.
There's a reason it's the epitome of le epic geek culture. It's because it's fucking easy.

>>377181680
Glad you agree, friend.

>>377167534
You know there's config in the game that fixes some of the "issues" you posted here? Or you just don't patch games?

Also some of these arguments are applicable to almost every open world games. This doesn't mean thats not an issue but there is no such thing as a masterpiece.

>>377163080
BotW is reasonably playable without the HUD, while Witcher 3 is a pain in the ass and requires an uncomfortable level of investment in order to do so.

BotW did it better. Better geography.

>>377163080
Both are basically the pinnacle of their respective genres.

Witcher being an open world narrative driven experience.

Zelda being an open world gameplay driven experience.

A skilful combination of the two styles, although incredibly expensive, would make for a marvellous game.

>>377163080
Ah yes, The Redditor 3: Failed Cunt and The Cuckening of Zelda Breath of the Fart, two examples of why modern 'videogames' are dead.

>>377184225
/thread

these games shouldnt be compared.
botw is a gamey open world adventure game in which you are meant to do whatever you want using the world as a sandbox.
the witcher is a visual novel with roleplaying if that word means anything anymore aka choosing between multiple outcomes in a scenario where the outcome is not clear or black and white. the open world in the witcher is not meant to be a sandbox and is not designed to just explore, it is meant to create a cohesive believable world, which greatly benefits roleplaying.

>got rid of old toaster can finally play witcher 3
>hear complaints it's an empty world
>find out it's the complete opposite

k. I'll admit the Witcher contracts get a bit repetitive but most of the complaints are unwarranted. Is there some dead space? Of course but there's still more shit to do. Not once did I feel like I'm 'wasting' any time in dead space, I'm getting shit done even on the way to a quest.

>>377183270
>there is no such thing as a masterpiece.
Then don't call the game one.

>>377166829
>All of the variety in ways I can approach combat
You need to play proper Action games.

>how well balanced your options are
>balanced
>most weapons are entirely redundant
>Ancient/Lynel shits on everything for damage
>ice laughs at mobs
>armor/food break the game

>All of the enemies (while there DO need to be more) are well defined from one another
The 1 HP trash is pretty well all the same, toss bomb and they die.

>>377168197
>Wrong, it was a fantastic game with God tier combat.
Half the fights boil down to oneshotting them with a Pod Program and there's literally reason to bother with melee past the halfway point of Route B if you know what you're doing, with the sole exception of the arena.

>>377190840
Fucking destroyed.

>>377190562
See >>377177904

If you're going to make a game open world and sacrifice all level design and pacing and a lot of other things for a large world you should at least make the gameplay conducive to the world being a gigantic playground, thats why games that started this trend like GTA and Just Cause were so much fun in the first place and thats why game like Dragon Age Inquisition suck ass as open world games.

>>377191517
>you should at least make the gameplay conducive to the world being a gigantic playground
But Zelda doesn't do that outside some of its physics gimmicks, which are typically super situational and have nothing to do with being open world. The core combat has lots of flaws.
