What are we supposed to be looking at?

>>378980073
Yes it is.

There's currently in camps
1) People who think it is one of the best games ever made.
2) People who think the game is pretty good but have issues with the game's minor faults or design choices.
3) People who dislike it because it's too much of a deviation from the types of tropes they want in a Zelda game
4) People who are absolutely ass blasted and live a state of seething rage and denial that Nintendo could have possibly dared to make another good game.

>>378981797
Me on the left in number 2

>>378981797
Put me in camp #1. This is the game I have wanted all my life.

>>378981797
I'm a mix between 1 and 2.

It looks pretty good but is there a way to change filter or something? landscapes seem to have some annoying film over them, colors aren't vivid

>>378980073

The landscapes are so interesting and varied, my only issue is the the enemies within them are not. I wish this game a much larger variety of enemies and bosses, it would more than make up for the dungeon aspect.

The world's consistency kind of falls apart when you find out there's Guardians roaming near stables and shit. There's also a Bokoblin camp right outside Lurelin village with nothing to stop them from invading. They don't even have guards patrols.

>>378982441

If you are playing on switch, the colour mode is set to limited range.

If you go into the system settings and change it to FULL range you should immediately see a more vibrant game. Sounds really obvious but you would be amazed how many switch owners are still on the default colour setting.

But they just come back after a blood moon and no one ever mentions it.

>>378983108
The game doesn't have a single MAJOR fault. Only minor nitpicks blown out of proportion by people who desperately want there to be something wrong with the game.

The tropes have been getting stale. Everyone was getting bored and wanted something fresh. Nintendo were damned if they do, damned of they don't.

Poor difficulty curve is one in my opinion, while past Zeldas have been fairly easy throughout Breath of the Wild starts out pretty challenging but then plateaus hard unless you impose self limitations.

>>378983380
Wouldn't a major fault be that it has so many minor ones that keep it from being perfect

>>378980842
Just Cause 2 probably did that best.

>>378980842
>>378983606
Nah Xenoblade X did it best. Doesn't re-use assets between regions like BOTW does, either.

>>378982543
I agree with this, the other thing is that you don't get a wide array of tools like you do in a link to the past for example. That was the one thing I missed the most from this zelda.

>>378983380
Wrong

>>378983691
>the other thing is that you don't get a wide array of tools like you do in a link to the past for example.
But this game gives you more ways to deal with enemies than past Zelda games, so I don't see the problem.

Reminds me how boring the game is and how little content there is.
Cool areas, but boring everything else, along with shit story and music.

>>378980073
I found the world very bland. Just a mass of emptiness with patches of quality applied onto the void. Those patches are nice but the emptiness is substantial.

There is a lot of good things about the game but some sort of rich detailed world with a lot of visual depth is not one of them.

>>378983380
I think having no content is a major fault.
No gear progression, no gadgets or legit good puzzles, too much space between areas.

Weapon breaking is also an annoyance.

The game also runs and looks like shit.

I feel like these are pretty major. Most games would be blasted for this stuff.

>>378983691
That I don't agree with. You have way more toys and environmental factors to play with and the depth of those interactions is unparalleled. The flexibility of say, attaching octoballons to things, and the way it synergizes with the Korok Leaf or campfires or stasis creates so many unique effects.

Compare that to LttP where a fourth of your inventory redundantly stuns enemies.

What I meant is that it's extremely situational and usually not worth it anyway. I mean, you don't even need to be this far up the sky for the slow-mo, just jumping off the horse is enough. In case you even need the slow-mo.

And you have to approach the Guardian from behind without it noticing you. The webm makes it look like he is doing it mid-fight which of course would be way cooler. Mid-fight it's almost impossible.

Not true, battling a guardian in horse is way easier than anything, the guardian has a hard time beaming you unless you are really really close (still it won't be a direct hit) and you will always crit as long you have the horse running, so cutting the guardian's legs is easier.

Souls is pure trash, though, so better not. You can't even climb a fucking fece. Even The Surge is better but reviewers give it lower scores because they won't get torn apart by fanboys when they do it.

>>378989641
Item gathering is better than the randomized glowing dots of XCX. The story is better (even though both stories are pretty bad, Zelda is at least not intrusive with its story). Physics are amazing, XCX didn't even have collision detection on most objects. Likewise, Zelda has far more interaction with the environment. Zelda also gives you more tools to be creative with, and has a wider gameplay loop while XCX just has RPG combat + exploration. Zelda in comparison has cooking, mount taming, climbing, ect in support of its exploration and combat mechanics.

Being one of the best games ever made doesn't mean being perfect.

I wish the master sword better
I wish there wore more enemy variety
I wish it didn't look washed-out
I wish ganon had a better final form/was human
I wish your pals weren't dead
I wish most of the shrines didn't look the same

Still good game. I don't think I'll ever replay it after completing it though I'm not sure why because I played MM like 10 times.

Look, we all wanted another Ocarina of Time clone, and Nnitendo betrayed their core gamers.

>>378989170
Wind Waker does and always did look like complete shit. It never went far enough with cel-shading since it doesn't extend the environments and the lighting is unbelievably flat and unappealing.

WWHD also looks like shit but at least they recognized how bad the lighting always was and tried to do something to make it more vivid.

BotW finally and effortlessly realizes everything WW set out to do and failed horribly at.

why do none of these screenshots have the grey washed out fog effect to them?
is there a setting to turn that off? (wii u version here)

>>378990198
>cooking, mount taming, climbing, ect in support of its exploration and combat mechanics.

yeah putting 5 random ingredients is pot and getting a restaurant quality dish pop up cooking alright.

affinity system by repeated spamming one button combination is taming alright.

waiting and waiting 10 hours to get to the top of a mountain using the stamina glitch is immersive realistic gameplay alright

slower witchtime with flurry rush is high end technical gameplay at it's finest, alright

Endgame: NA

3 flaws. End game, VO, and music. Everything else falls between excellent and perfect. I do think this is edged out by Wind Waker, but everything about it is so good, its up there with the very best of the series.

Bosses were well designed, but should have been more different looking/not just Ganon. Should have been Ghoma, Mold Worm, etc. Some Zelda staple bosses. But thats literally an opinion. Ganon fight was fun if not a bit on the easy side compared to the difficulty curve of the rest of the game, and I would have liked to see a Gerudo Ganon in this game, but you can't get everything. overall 9/10

>I wish the master sword better
The game would be retarded with a constantly useful master sword. This is a complaint made by people who just want to play OOT for a fifth time.
>I wish there wore more enemy variety
Valid complaint. Although it's worth noting how good the enemy AI is, and how common emergent gameplay is during combat. Both of these largely pick up the slack
>I wish it didn't look washed-out
I wish retards would stop demanding that the game be oversaturated.
>I wish ganon had a better final form/was human
Human Ganon has been done a million times, it's tired. Ganons first form was truly pretty damn terrifying. Second form was shite though.
>I wish your pals weren't dead
They needed more memories to properly flesh out the Champions but them being dead is an excellent plot decision. If anything the fact that Zelda is alive is the big disappointment of the plot.
>I wish most of the shrines didn't look the same
Visual diversity would have been nice but outside of the combat shrines there's actual content diversity and I'd much rather have that at the end of the day. Combat shrines needed more robots/the big robots/and better arenas though. (And we needed the small Guardians in the world)

>yeah putting 5 random ingredients is pot and getting a restaurant quality dish pop up cooking alright.

The question was what Zelda does better than XCX. Using items you gather that you actually collect from specific locations to create something is miles better than RNG items from glowy resource points that do nothing but fill up an encyclopedia.

>affinity system by repeated spamming one button

Better than XCX affinity system with party members, which just raises automatically based on hours of grinding with that party member. To make things worse, hours of this grinding is required to progress through the main story.

>waiting and waiting 10 hours to get the the top of a mountain using the stamina glitch

What stamina glitch? and why would I want to use it when it only takes 5-15 minutes of stamina management to reach the top of even the highest mountains and cliffs?

>slower witch time with flurry rush is high end technical gameplay

Requires more skill and timing than MMO combat with literal QTE stat boosts, that's for sure.

>>378990921
sounds like a random gilvasunner mash-up

>>378981797
I'm a mix of 1,2, and 3, but fall mostly in 2. I absolutely love the game, and it has a feeling of "go anywhere, do anything" that surpasses any other open-world game I've ever played. However I do have issues with some of the design choices, such as the weapon damage system being a bit too punishing, and I'm not a huge fan of the shrines. They're okay, but I would have rather they skipped them in return for more larger dungeons. They could have had stuff like the forest temple and other famous Zelda dungeons scattered all over the world just waiting to be found. If they had done that, they I would absolutely say this is one of the greatest games ever made.

Do we know what Hard mode will include yet? Because if you just don't upgrade your armor you already get one-shotted by basically everything, and those centaurs take half your inventory to bring down. Not sure what a Hard mode could change unless they add annoying crap like starvation.

The content was really anticlimactic by its utterly lack luster reward system.

Saving the dragon was so fuckin bad ass, I loved it, I was so stoked to to see what happened when I gave an offering to the goddess after completing it.... a fuckin shrine? That's it? Shrines literally are just laying around on the side of the road when this game starts, should have given me a wood dildo if it wanted me to go fuck myself so bad.

I understand the point of exploration isn't always loot but the game seems constantly rewarding the player for exploring with totally trash boring rewards.

"You discovered the King's Private study in the final area of the game, and a chest with.... 300 rupees!"

Gee thanks game, I would have honestly rather it have no chest at all. I always think I discovered something cool/interesting only to realize this game is full of chests that hold garbage.

And the reward for reaching the King's study is reading the King's diary. People need to accept that BotW is not an RPG and is not about the loot. The reward is exploring the world. The world is there to give you something to seek out and explore, not to give you a chest full of loot.

I'm not the one you responded to earlier bud. I just find it laughable that you want to play an extremely casual game (nothing wrong with that) for the difficulty. BoTW is an experience. And I know I sound like a marketer when I say that. But it's just that. It's not supposed to be difficult. you're not supposed to get all the 120 thingies either. But people play the game that way because they can't handle actual difficult games.

>>378996109
Still waiting buddy. Thankfully you stopped replying to me. It seems you're listening to what I told you and have come to an agreement. That's a good thing.

>>378991097

Weapon damage is perfectly fine. Its all about your mindset. Once you realize that weapons don't actually matter or that combat isn't necessary (and that's not a bad thing), you stop stressing yourself out over when your weapon breaks and you start chucking it at moblins faces.

But I agree that Shrines suck, only because half of them feel half assed. The few good shrines in the game are overshadowed by the amount of brain dead single room puzzles and "blessing" shrines where all you do is walk forward a few steps. Way too many shitty shrines in the game when only 50 of them are actually rewarding to do.

BotW has more content and sidequests than any Zelda game. In Zelda game the reward for sidequests is usually always a heart piece or rupee - which is exactly what you get in BotW, the heart pieces have been replaced by spirit orbs but it's the same thing.

BotW has plenty of content. People just desperately want to find a flaw and so straws shall be clutched at!

>Which seemed like criticism to me
Sorry, I forgot I'm not allowed to criticize Zelda games and be the slightest bit negative about the features of a difficulty mode that has to be bought.

What is this disgusting monster you're posting and why are you implying other open world games these days look any better than Zelda when they are generic, empty, don't have any interactivity or physics, let alone dungeons/puzzles?

When you stop following the main story and go wherever you want to go.

Tarrey Town is also the best Zelda side quest.

>>378995946
Then why do they offer loot at the end of every "exploration"?

I said I would rather it had nothing at all. Its cheapens the experience by putting in shitty loot.

"Thank you so much great hero! Here, have some toilet paper I just wiped my ass with."

>>378996668
You're allowed to. But that's like criticizing Zelda for not including guns. Just seems pointless.

BoTW is not like every other zelda. Its an open world to explore, often this exploration leads to some really interesting content. This content is cheapened by there half assed attempt at loot.

They should have made armor peices the rewards of the more epic content.
-Unique
-Permanent
-Continues to engage the player by giving them a sense of wonder every time they open a chest.

There I fixed the game. Admit that would have been better.

>>378997158
Better luck next time.

>>378996707
Dont i need to do it to finish the game?

>>378996729
Fact. Again. Three diamonds? Really, fuck off. Just give me nothing. Seriously. I don't give a fuck about 3 diamonds. Why did they have to sully this experience with some thoughtless reward.

>>378997229
no. not at all. you can go to hyrule castle and kill ganon now if you're good and pick up some royal weapons in the armory of the castle

>>378985145
Every single BotW thread should start with this image so we can be rid of the "no content" faggots for good.

You get an entire town with unique shops and progressively seeing the town being built is a reward in it of itself.

Somewhere between 1 and 2 for me.
It gave me a feeling of exploration that I haven't felt from games in a long time.
The problem is that when you say shit like "some of the quieter moments when the sun, fields and sky all align actually choked me up a bit" makes you sound like some corporate shill.... or a pussy.

Xeno X has one of my favorite open worlds (based on design, not interactivity)
Seeing what BotW did, I'm pretty excited for Xeno 2.

>>378997169
but the best shrines do give unique armor. The 3 labrynths gives the barbarian armor. The shrines on top of the 3 tallest mountains gives the climbing gear.

I kind of agree with this. If anything, just getting a "thank you" from Hudson would have been more fitting.

Also it's nice that you can just leave Bolson in Tarrey Town.

How do I get the Zora helmet?

>>378997714
I hope Xenoblade 2 is more like the original Xenoblade. Xenoblade X had shitty combat, shitty characters, and a shitty story to go with it. Only thing good was the environments.

I agree, man -- only a child could enjoy such shallow gameplay

>>378997380
Its got content. Its just a shallow game. This game is about as deep as link can swim.

Crafting is crazy formulaic.
The ingredients are formulaic.
The weapons are formulaic.
The armor is cool but you get 80% of it with rupees.

Oh I found a "insert (sneaky, mighty, swift, hearty, defensive, electric, fire, cold, stamina) Insert (snail, bug, shroom, plant, lizard, fish, crab)"

Its not obvious for the first few hours then you start to realize how shallow this game actually is.

Apply the exact same shit to weapons as well.

>>378990126

Look straight down and tell me how the grass looks, homo

>>378997169

But there are armor pieces as rewards. Rubber, Barbarian and Climber sets can only be gotten from shrines.

And why are people so booty blasted about the loot? I can understand in a dungeon crawling rpg where the loot is literally the driving force of the game but its the opposite in BotW. The loot is really fucking shit in Morrowind too, except for a few spots where you can get an early Daedric weapon, which then cheapens the entire game if you get it early. Same thing happens in BotW, except the weapon breaks and your power level stays relative to the enemies you fight.

>>378981103

Nintendo fanatics can't spell. Truly adults amongst men.

>>378998076
You know it's a Legend of Zelda though, right? The complexity in this game matches the other 3D games. In fact, in some ways this one requires you to explore a lot more than some others. I fucking blew through TP without a second thought compared to this game for example.

>>378997757
And those were the best rewards of all of the shrines. Wouldn't the game have been better if this was done for the majority of the more epic/difficult side quests and shrines?

Do you really feel spending rupees to get most of your armor sets was the best way to play the game?

I own the game and I like it overall, but anyone who pretends that the gameplay has any depth probably hasn't played many games.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is also significantly smaller than Breath of the Wild, especially when you get access to skells.

However, the sheer amount of enemy and terrain variety more than makes up for it. Plus, Oblivia is just about the only good desert region in all of video games.

This is a really really pretty game. The resolution and textures do nothing to hinder it.
Akkala looks amazing from every angle.

>>378998421
aka every nintendo game

>>378998296
>The complexity in this game matches the other 3D games

I agree. They took one of the best map/environments of any game I have ever played and filled it with Fisher Price™ content. That's my point. This isn't the best game of all time. Its one of the best environments of all time with a mechanically shallow world. (some good side quests though, just with some boring ass let downs for rewards)

>>378990126
>when 90% of the world has ridiculously dense grass
No it fucking doesn't. Even the majority of the hills don't have dense grass.

Thank you! I'd been looking for that fucking thing everywhere!

>This isn't the best game of all time.
It's literally the 6th best game of all time though.

>>378998575
I agree with previous anons that XCX has a better overworld design, especially in terms of originality. However, I don't agree with this - the variety of enemy models in XCX is absurdly high, but their actual gameplay purpose is spread super fucking thin, making almost all enemies in the game feel identical to fight regardless of your build - it's literally a case of style over substance. Still, XCX is a great game and anyone that liked BotW should fucking play it right now.

>>378998812
Can I what?

>>378998927

X's combat is far superior to the original's. The story is also amazing. It borrows heavily from Western literature, particularly books like Beyond Good & Evil, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Prince, and Plato's Republic,
while also posing its own philosophical questions as to the nature of man, as in,
what constitutes life, what constitutes sentient life, and the human spirit. It's much, MUCH better than the generic shonen plot of Xenoblade Chronicles. However, it's too high-minded for the average gamer, so most people look at the lack of plot beats as bad story telling

>>378997589
I agree. No reward needed. If I give a friend a ride home because I'm a nice guy and they say "Hey thanks for the ride, here's 50 cents!"

They should have just kept the 50 cents. It ruined the whole experience.

Granted this is an extreme example, giving 3 diamonds didn't ruin the whole thing, I just thought it came off as thoughtless. It could have been anything unique or interesting or even nothing at all but 3 diamonds feels so cheap.

>>378999145
I hope 2 will have Skells. Sure, Skells could've been better in X, but that's exactly why I want them to bring them back to improve on the slight mistakes they made with them.
