Finally bought a Nintendo Switch and I'm about to play Breath

It's not like any other Zelda game. It'll kick your ass, and it won't tell you how it's kicking your ass. Be ready for some hard-mode difficulty.

>>377926516
the realisation that you bought into $360 overhyped and overmemed 5/10 trash

A really mediocre game.

Should have picked up Super Bomberman R, you fool.

>>377926516
Mario Kart, Puyo Tetris, and Bomberman is where its at. Switch is a great multiplayer machine.

>>377926516
One of the best games in this decade.

>>377926516
One of greatest adventure games in modern vidya.

I am saddened that I will never play BotW again for the first time.

>>377926603
how fucking bad at video games are you that you suck at a game which has an infinite number of 50 damage weapons within ten seconds of a fast travel point and a similar supply of items that heal you to max
are you this bad at other games made for toddlers?

>>377926516
You're in for a relatively good time.
>>377926626
This guy is a bitter faggot dont listen to her.

>>377926863
So like

You do know that the beginning of the game doesn't have god-gear, right

>>377926516
enjoy anon, its really good, put over 80 hours into it and I rarely put so many hours into single player games.

>>377926516
Adapt to new style of zelda games, accept the weapons mechanic and embrace it.

Best fucking game in years (IMO) and well, enjoy it for yourself, no guides or asking for help (It's not "Dark Souls hard" don't be a pussy)

>>377926863
Not him. But BotW starts out pretty hard. You will get fucking raped to hell and back if you don't take care.

>>377926516
A world of vast exploration and discovery, a 50/50 of memorable and forgettable characters and secrets under your toes at every turn.

enjoy one the best games of the year

>>377926516
A pretty serious case of buyer's remorse

>>377926863

Don't listen to this faggot, it's a great game.

>>377926516
BotW has had /v/ in a salty rage for more than 3 months (not including the year long hate campaign prior to release).

Rather than just accept that Nintendo made a great game, /v/ continues to shit post daily, desperately trying to find some kind of fault with the game.

>>377927283

no, people usually go to the korok forest late in the game

>>377926970
>This guy is a bitter faggot dont listen to her.
No faggot, not everyone is "bitter" just because they have an opinion you don't agree with. He's not wrong. The console is overpriced tripe and the game is arguably one of the worst games in the series, based solely on the fact that it bears almost no likeness to the rest of the series to begin with. Deal with it.

I didn't go to the forest until about 100 hours into the game.

>>377927426
Oh don't get me wrong, it certainly is a fun game ....... but one worth 360 dollars of investment ? I don't think so

>>377927671

>>377927345
Fat korok is close to the plateau if you follow the main story quest

>>377926516
non meme answer

a fun open world exploration/ez puzzle game for like 40-60 hours by which time you will probably have about half the shrines and the full map explored. then depending on how much of completionist you are you either have another 60 hour slog to get all shrines and max inventory slots and the very lackluster 30 minute dungeons and underwhelming gannon fight.

Nope. It's not. It's a $300+ home console which isn't even as powerful as a PS3 and struggles to run 6 year old WiiU ports.

Yeah, like swords and grass. Aside from that, the game is closer to Skyrim than a traditional Zelda game.

>>377928408
Nintendo make games for everyone. BotW can be pretty unforgiving and it's undoubtedly the hardest Zelda game in along time.

The cooking healing/mechanic is there as a safety net for casuals to stop them becoming easily frustrated (as well as being rewarding for those who bother to experiment with cooking and prepare their inventory appropriately).

You wouldn'to have to use it you think the game is so easy.

This is a typical tactic of the shit posters: complain about something which isn't even a fucking issue.

>>377928954
okay, it's still portable, why even bring the Vita up?

>Battery is better than your phone and gaming laptop, weebcuck
Congrats, this is the most autistic thing I've read all day, no small feat on this board.

>By the way, yes, it's more powerful than a PS3
No, it isn't. Keep telling yourself it is, but it isn't. It isn't even more powerful in docked mode, which is pointless anyway since devs aim for the lowest performance, which is in this case, the undocked mode.

A unique blend of adventure and roleplaying game along with some neat physics and good atmosphere.

Albeit you're also in for reptitive enemy designs, subpar riddles and unrewarding quests.

On top of that, nothing truly new is ever to be found. Sure, you might find an interesting thing here and there, but if you do, it's always accompanied by the same shrine, ruining the excitment of it. Breath of the Wild is very formulaic in part. The good thing is that there's great attention to detail in other parts, like for example in enemy behavior, things you can do with link or stuff relating to aforementioned physics engine.

>>377928646
Yeah sure the battery is even better than a car, whatever, btw insulting people won't make you magically right.

>>377927128
I went to Kakairko and Hateno did some shit, then did the Ruta Divine Beast. The onyl challenge during any of that were a group of black lizalfos, and they still never killed me. I had 4 hearts. Is that early game? or does it happen after this?

>okay, it's still portable, why even bring the Vita up?
I'm using the Vita as a point of comparison for judging how poor the battery life of the Switch is you dumb nigger. This really isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

Ah man, to be able to play BOTW for the first time. Lucky op.

This is the most retarded shit I've ever read. "LOL hurr durr you don't have to use what's in the game!". That's artificial difficulty you utter retard. That's like saying Ocarina of Time is hard because you can choose not to pick up any heart containers. The point is, the only way this game becomes difficult is if you purposely choose not to use a fucking feature built into the game, that is complete autism and you should hate yourself for buying into this notion.

Yeah, great game design, I must have no appreciation for the craft.

>>377929853
You're right, though these things in and of itself aren't bad, rather they are poorly executed in Breath of the Wild.

Cooking never elevates its purpose above restoring some heart containers or granting some effects. Special recipes aren't of much use due to this. You could as well cook something that's a little worse, but cook more of it. This spills into gameplay, too. There's no incentive to go out and hunt stuff if there's no immediate need for precious ingredients.

Weapon durability is more of a gameplay than a realism thing. Constantly having to switch weapons, even in the middle of combat, makes encounters fresh and exciting. Although this comes at the loss of personal attachment to the gear the player owns. If you're into indvidualizing your character, you're screwed. Which is a pretty big thing for an RPG.

>>377929787
Here's a newsflash. Nintendo aren't making games just for YOU. They're not about to alienate a vast demograph of people to suit your need for brutally hard games.

You might as well be hating on movies for having a happy ending.

At least you can CHOOSE in BotW. Nintendo gave you the option. But you still want to complain about it like it's an issue.

When you play a game, you agree to a set of rules made up by the developer. Unless you change the set of rules yourself, it remains the same. Note the "yourself" part. Nintendo isn't giving you a choice, the game is as it is. By your logic, a developer putting a terrible game on steam and leaving it with a lot of modability is them giving you the choice to change the game so that it's good.

you're just gonna say they dont count, or "I had fun so they don't exist." So why even bother?

For example, if I bring up the disgusting 30 FPS, I'm probably gonna be met with "well, my standards are so low that I don't know the difference between 30 and 60!" or something like that.

Enjoy OP. People will be constantly referencing BotW for the next decade. The hype is real.

It's a great game. Plenty of content, but you can also finish it at a fairly brisk pace if you just want to roll through the main quest.

Side quests are a little lacking in content IMO, mostly lame rewards and the actual gameplay involved could be improved for a good 30-40% of them. Others are alright and amount to a sort of curated challenge (like at one point pretty early on that is basically get this over there, and don't get killed or have it destroyed), but I'd like to see even more difficulty. Unlikely that will happen though, this seems to be a challenging Zelda for some but after at least 10 hours I think you have everything you need to basically roll through just about anything. The game becomes a total playground at that point.

The environment is pretty amazing, and landmarks in the distance will reinvigorate your interest when it starts to wane because of familiarity with an area. One big criticism is lack of enclosed, natural spaces especially where they would make sense. This means caverns, mainly, and because link can't swim underwater the water usually doesn't contain much except for chests that can be lifted out. To give you an example of what I mean by "where they would make sense", the Goron area has features described as "mines" that, as they are described by the gorons, sound like they might be caverns but are always open air spaces. This feels like some sort of limitation to me, because I wanted to go into an cavern with mine carts and was mostly disappointed to find they are just areas with rocks lying around.

Also, lack of enemy variety. So much in Zelda franchise could have been used but go ignored, which felt confusing.

Overall 8/10 game that could be 9/10 if Nintendo improves on some weak areas, which I'm hopeful they will given there is so much possibility with the template they made. Recommended.

>>377933796
No, if you bring up 30 FPS by itself, you're retarded. It's a stable 30, and that has been the framerate of every Zelda game ever made. You want to explain to me how the framerate makes the game worse?

>You want to explain to me how the framerate makes the game worse?
The fact that it's a slideshow presentation with none of the reaction time you'd see in a 60 FPS game should be enough, but then you factor in how the horrific combat had to be casualized because 30 FPS is objectively terrible for fighting and combat since your actions have input lag from the frame rate being garbage.

>b-but it's hard, totally!

Nope. Not when your average gaming journalist can beat the game. When Zelda gets a score like God Hand's, then you can talk.

I think the Switch is priced fairly, though I won't buy it until they come out with a set of killer apps (rather than just one).

Also, the fact a game in a series doesn't resemble its predecessors doesn't make it a bad game. Even if it didn't (which it does if you've played the original LoZ) it's not automatically a bad game. You could argue it's a bad Zelda game, but that doesn't mean it can't stand on its own merits.

What is this autism? What in the love of fuck does that have to do with purposely ignoring a feature built into a game and calling it difficult? Talk about reaching, faggot.

>At least you can CHOOSE in BotW. Nintendo gave you the option. But you still want to complain about it like it's an issue.
It honestly scares me that people as autistic as you exist. Your entire argument boils down to: "Want difficulty? Just don't use any of the game's features!". That is fucking subhuman retardation.

Nope, you just don't want to admit that they are actual issues. Only a literal retard would argue that the weapon breaking mechanic and pathetic dungeons alone aren't "issues". Literally all but the last 3 points are directly related to game design, you're choosing to ignore facts because you want this game's cock in your ass, face it.

A very enjoyable game that you should have just gotten on the Wii U.

>>377935437

But is anything in the post wrong?

>>377935481
>Weapon durability
Not a flaw, that's personal preference. People complaining the weapon durability are just looking at the system from the wrong perspective.

You're SUPPOSED to be constantly changing your weapons out for new stuff. Playing 200 hours with the same weapon would get boring pretty fast.

Instead of running into a fight like fucking lunatic and mashing the attack button, the player is forced to think.

You have to size up the situation, pick a tactic - do you get rid of the lookouts first before they can alert the others? Can you sneak into the camp and steal their weapons before they can arm themselves? Will you nuke the strongest enemy of the camp with bomb arrow? Can you set fire to anything? Use traps to thin out the numbers? Use the environment against them? Use your runes to crush them?

And then there's the weapon system itself, which is focused around the classic sword/spear/axe triangle (the fire emblem series is literally built around this concept).

Each weapon also has elemental variations and also specific weapons which are strong against certain foes, like the gaurdian weapons.

You can use your map to set pins on your map where weapons were found and simply return every blood moon and restock.

Keeping some weaker weapons for minor enemies and stronger weapons for boss battles helps to keep the game challenging and balanced.

So many retarded ass hurt faggots are complaining about a mechanic which actually forced them to think, to organise, to analyse, to evaluate and strategise each fight and they don't even realise it. Nor did they appreciate how much more engaging that is than button mashing.

Fuck me

Not that anon but

This is all fine and good, except 99% of time it's faster, easier, and more efficient to just run in with the loads of strong weapons the game vomits at you and mash A until everything is dead

Don't get me wrong, BotW deserves praise for the depth of options it gives you. The issue is that the game doesn't do a very good job of supporting those options with varied, difficult enemy/encounter design

>Instead of running into a fight like fucking lunatic and mashing the attack button, the player is forced to think.
Stopped reading there. The problem with the weapon system is that you don't have to think, ever. You can mindlessly mash buttons and kill every enemy in the game because at no point will you ever run out of weapons. The game just throws you billions of them.

>b-but enemies are smart and hard to fight
Nope. Not when Kotaku likes your game.

>>377937371
>sounds like a waste of good weapons to me

You're already throwing away weapons constantly to make room for better ones because you can't use them fast enough as it is already

Did you even read their review?

IIRC they liked the game for treating them as someone intelligent because it doesn't hold your hand, and that the deaths received in the game were not so much punishing as they were learning experiences.

Yes the site in general sucks but the least you could do is read up on their review instead of bashing the game just because of assumed guilt by association.

>>377937759
right but you get middling weapons much more frequently and blow through good weapons faster than you come across them

>>377926516

The weapon system is supposed to tether you to the default power curve. Allowing you to temporarily get a power boost to clear something out of your league. It's not supposed to be a fucking Greenlight survival game.

So why doesn't it do that? Why is it that you can mindlessly kill even the strongest enemies without a thought? I'm kind of embarassed that people say they've died to even the silver lynels. These people probably consider Call of Duty to be competitive esports.

>>377926516
would probably the perfect zelda game, if
- weapon durability and upgrading would be like dark souls 2
- they would have ditched the shrines and made optional dungeons
- would have ditched titans/beasts for their first promise. a Zelda game with bigger dungeons and you need to figure out how to get there, how to get in there and how to move along. (btw. I loved the Titans, ruta was great with all the actual physics puzzles.
- bigger towns
- no openworld
- make a better story or when you want to do the "figure out what happened 100 years ago" make it a little bit more like souls. I mean if you watch the trailer, the story in that is ten times better than what we got.

that´s it. Maybe fixing the yigas and making them more interesting than just a stupid bossfight. Fix final-form bossfight.

Regardless of all that, botw is still a 8,5-9/10 game. I didn´t 100% it, so after I did I will decide if it was better than MM.

Again, you can't generalize views based on other views they have on other games, especially when considering they have more than one person reviewing on the site.

Same goes for publications like IGN and Gamespot.

Though these words might not reach you since you seem to be too upset that Zelda is receiving high praise to even read said reviews on the specific game in question, so I doubt my efforts to convince you otherwise will proof fruitful.

Anon, you're trying to convince me that Zelda is good because alot of people like it. I've had about 30 years of experience in this life, and 15 years of experience in the "modern game journalist" industry. I know a marketing ploy when I see it. And when EVERYONE agrees that your game is "awesome" and "badass" then you know there's a problem. These idiots can barely decide on what socks to wear in the morning. So a unanimous decision means one thing: collusion and corruption. Wouldn't even be the first time either.

>>377940670
those are huge changes that fundamentally alter the game, yet you still give it an 8.5, your post is funny

>>377928242

>>377926516
in for a loss of a shit ton of money thats what

>>377926859
same

>>377940950
Because Botw is still a fucking great game and I say this as a person who rushed the game with 80 hours and hates openworld-sandbox games.

Botw is great, but I still wished they would change somethings. E.g. the dungeon stuff is there because I misunderstood aonuma at first. And the thought of
>oh look the place here looks kinda like a dungeon entrance
>ok how can I get there? Oh I got itemXY which lets me do ...
>oh look the door won´t open, but I found this sometime ago and look it opens
would be fucking awesome. Netherless I loved the titans.

But towns could have been better, weapons durability and upgrading would be better if it were like dark souls 2 and getting the story 100 years ago would be much better than the story we got now. Unless they would actually do some lore stuff like in souls games.

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.

No, mentally inferior negroid. Othe rpeople already provided you plenty of good songs. Like Vah Ruta

How about you stop suckling those dicks ?

>>377926516
Another overhyped open world meme game. It starts out somewhat interesting, but it gets extremely repetitive and boring about 4-5 hours later when you realize there's almost nothing substantial in the overworld and most of your rewards for sidequests are golden pieces of shit, weapons that always break, Rupees and little bits of food. More than half the game is just running around an empty overworld, farming materials, and slowly climbing up cliffs. It took the empty overworld of TP and the tiresome fetchquests of SS and combined the two. Except TP and SS at least somewhat made up for it with some decent music, a coherent story, recurring antagonists and actual temples. BotW has some good moments but its probably one of the most overrated games in existence, in reality it's a 6/10.

>>377927661

>>377956483
>Nintendo even said they made the story AFTER making the game open world to accommodate for it,

Nintendo have ALWAYS done that. That's how they make games. They come up with a gameplay concept first and then develop the rest of the game and story around it.

That's fucking commendable.


Compare that to most western devs who reverse-engineer every game, starting with the marketing first and working backwards.

I'll take Nintendo's philosophy over that bullshit any day of the week. At least I know I'll be enjoying myself.

>>377956483
the music is great though, the sound design also is great, steps sounds are incredibly varied depending on ANY terrain and if you're running, walking or walking crouched, the music is made of beautiful arrangements of well known Zelda songs that never get too obvious, you know, as if these songs were passed by oral history throughout ten thousand years worth of generations and this was all that remained of the goron city song or kakariko village, they're really subdued and nuanced compositions and they make the sound design shine, get close to a fairy fountain and you'll see what I mean.

Agreed. The sound design is great. Try playing the game with a decent pair of headphones and the world truly sounds alive.
