yes I know, even that games can be fun, but many (like the first Uncharted) are so much linear, it wouldn't be that much different from a movie
still must agree, that BotW isn't a 90 game, to me, it's between 80-89

How can you say that when Xenoblade Chronicles doesn't even have mechs? That game is an absolute travesty to the Xeno franchise.

>>379308439
Ok, first if all, retard: walking simulators are literally games that are on rails and involve spending most of the time listening to dialogue or going through linear levels.

Secondly: Botw is a climbing simulator.

>>379309373
I doubt any sonyfag actually gives a shit about Horizon as of this point.
They still have Persona and Nier though, so chill.

Ive collected 728 kurok seeds. I really love just running around looking for them. One was very sneakily hidden in a log and I had to slash at it.

>>379309435
>Xenoblade Chronicles doesn't even have mechs?
The Mechon race?

You people are too young. Back during the TES3 release the biggest complaint about it was the amount of walking required, thus it was dubbed a walking simulator by Daggerfall fanboys and the like.

I enjoyed Breath of the Wild more than any other Zelda games. Open world isn't a genre I play very often. I'm still playing it after the final boss just to explore the world some more and find things I missed the first time through. Overall, I give it at least a 9/10.

No.
SMT Nocturne, Xenoblade Chronicles, Resident Evil Remake, Deus Ex, Super Mario Galaxy, Persona 5 and several other games all tried to dethrone Half Life for my favorite game and failed.
Zelda succeeded.

>>379309876
That doesn't change the criticism levied at the game during release. Daggerfall allowed a way more flexible fast travel system so you can't really compare a much bigger Daggerfall to a much smaller but harder to navigate Morrowind.

Hyrule Warriors is pretty good, and slicing into hordes of bokoblins feels good for a few hours.
But that's the entire game. No substance, just fan fiction and grinding.
It doesn't even hold a candle to Breath of the Wild, and I don't even think that game is a masterpiece.

I don't mind Smash 4 over Melee [besides the stages having less egregious hazards in Melee] but Smash 4 has way too many safe defense options and counter specials.
More good stages, reduced i-frames and an Adventure mode would make it my favorite Smash of all time.

Also for whatever reason I have way more fun on the 3DS version than the Wii U.
Landing hits feels better.

>>379310930
Yes. Getting hearts seemed pointless to me as the game wasn't very difficult. I got more of a challenge of it by having to prep for battles properly, that said, the healing system and armor boosts made little difference desu. Even with only 7 hearts, I still barely died. The game already has a horrible inverted difficulty curve, I can't imagine how much worse it'd be for the people who neglected Stamina for Hearts.

I didn't. I didn't buy a Switch, nor a 3DS, nor anything else released by Nintendo after the Game Boy Advance. Anyone over the age of 18 still playing Nintendo games is in a danger zone.

Feels goods

To be honest the climbing mechanics look pretty good, but then you have the overtly colorful art style and childish audio cues, clearly designed for kids. I just don't get how any self respecting adult could put 100 hours in a game made for 12 year olds.

The term was specifically called into life for ES3 you dumb fuck. It was arguably the first game to dubbed as such.

Here, I quickly googled it for you:
http://bordersdown.net/threads/14246-Morrowind-Game-of-the-Year

Where a Daggerfall fanboy jokes about ES3 being a walking sim. I'm sure you can find plenty of forums like Planet Elder Scrolls (RIP) where the term is used much more often.

Again, I'm not going through different older forums or their archives, but it was easy to prove you wrong on the term ''never being used''

I'm going to be brutally honest with you, and you probably won't like it but I don't mean any disrespect when I say this; people who make disparaging comments like that about BotW simply do not understand game design. You really don't.

BotW isn't perfect, nothing is. But the game's minor niggles never come anywhere close to over shadowing an incredible gaming experience which genuinely pushes the boundaries of the open world genre and raises the bar for developers everywhere.

What Nintendo achieved, on the tech they used, is astonishing. I'll tip you my fedora and bid you a good day

>>379310461
As opposed to the entire game being the same three shitty physics puzzles. I never thought I'd see the day that the bosses of a Warriors spinoff game are better than a mainline Zelda. It's pathetic.

I won't argue that all the open space was a design choice, probably mismanagement, but I'll tell you that all the exploring is really neat. I don't know why but I've really liked running around and climbing up shit just to see whats up there.

They still have enemies that one-shot you with that much health. What's the point of all that stamina? At least getting mostly hearts prevents you from having to use food. There are few things to climb that you can't do without 2 Stamina meters.

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
It was alright, but I got bored as fuck after the second dungeon and dropped the game. I might revisit it someday, but not anytime soon. So many little things that frustrated me and ultimately felt like a big waste of time:

>Shrines are piss-easy save for a few interesting ones, the "test of strength" ones were especially lazy and disappointing
>Absolutely no need for 120 shrines and almost 1k Korok seeds other than filling up a rather empty map
>At first you think there's a bunch of different weapons, but there's no weapon variety whatsoever other than bow, shortsword, longsword, and a spear...that's it
>Cooking COMPLETELY destroys any challenge to the game. It's easy to find a bunch of ingredients and fill up your inventory quickly with strong dishes. Makes gameplay trivial since all you have to do is pause and just max your hearts out. Didn't die to a single boss once.
>The fish slut miracle was also game-breaking and only took like 15 minutes to regenerate. It's also the one that most people probably got first, making the rest of the game a cakewalk.
>Only 4 bosses + Ganon is just indefensible, especially considering how samey they all felt in design and easy as mentioned earlier were not challenging at all
>Overworld enemies are 80% reskinned goblins and lizards with a few 'tougher' enemies here and there
>Side quests were mostly fetch quests and most of them just gave you a few rupees or a lame weapon
>Rained WAY too much, which wouldn't be a big deal had most of the gameplay not revolved around climbing shit.

And I haven't even mentioned the story, characters, soundtrack, graphics, etc. This is all gameplay stuff. I honestly think the only people who think this game is 10/10 GOAT for the genre are people who have only just played open-world games for the first time. Had I played this without having played a bunch of other open-world games before, I'd probably think so too.

Not giving at anything above an 8/10, personally.

>>379308610

>>379311186
Jump momentum is about the only thing I feel like Smash is lacking. I've had no trouble playing hyper aggressively as Roy, Megaman, and Bayo (Granted, I'm by no means top tier, but then again maybe a hundred people playing the game are).
Tourneyfag stages are limited. But there's a decent number of good stages to play on, especially now that the DLC stages are in the mix Wuhu Island, Umbra Clock Tower, Mario Maker and more might not be tourney legal but there great stages to play on for fun.
There are too many paclands and that starfox stage though the number of bad stages was certainly a weak point.
Classic and adventure mode are irrelevant in a post Master/Crazy Orders world. Too many people sleep on those two.

>>379311373
See>>379311196

Also, I should add, by healing system, I mostly mean Mipha's Grace. Very rarely did I bother to cook heart replenishing food out of sheer laziness looking back on it.

I know I shoulda turned that shit off, as it really broke the game. But it's an item give to me through regular progression, and I wanted to experience the game as it was meant to be played. The Guardian abilities are too much of a hand hold. On a second run, I would turn them off, but honestly, I found BotW such a slog to play through, I don't think I'll ever bother giving it another go. BotW and SS are the only 3D Zeldas I'll never bother replaying. I genuinely didn't enjoy either experience. And it's sad too, as I was very hyped for Ghibli Zelda in the years leading up to release. For me, it was the most disappointing sendoff for the WiiU. And it baffles me how such an average Open World game could get so much unsung praise. Maybe it's just not my genre, but this is not the direction Zelda should go in, imo. If future games in the franchise will follow this formula, I'll just be skipping them.

Hard mode when? I want to replay this shit and 100% it

>>379311534
Meh, one person is meaningless. I was being hyperbolic but i still say nobody called tes3 a walking simulator.

>I'm trying to understand why or how you can defend running around open fields as a perfected, enjoyable experience on par with real gameplay experiences and/or storytelling.

It's basically on par with Googling, browsing facebook, 9gag, browsing 4chan, whatever is about sorting through 99% trash/filler to get at the good bits. Open world games are being made to capture that audience, the audience that's looking for distraction.

So, why would someone prefer an activity with tons of filler? Who would want to play a subhuman JRPG for 100 hours? My theory is that a lot of people just instinctively prefer the long, drawn-out filler-loaded games because they are just looking for distraction, relief, or numbness, none of which require that you immerse yourself in the game (if anything they further block your capacity to be immersed).

Past a certain point, whatever functions as the best long-term distraction excites them the most (30 hour long lets plays, for example). Playing a game especially for loot drops is like this too, obsessing over some pathetic potential silver-lining even though you've played that same map or three more than 1000 times. The more "into" this kind of time-wasting someone is in, the more superstitious or sick they probably are.

Again, why would someone prefer an activity consisting of mostly being on the way to something potentially good? It's because they need to occupy themselves, and they choose not the best game, but the game that is the occupier. They're not looking to immerse themselves in a game as much as they are looking to distract themselves from their pathetic reality (which games happen to be quite amazing for).

I think some time spent "on the way to something good" is fine, as long as the game makes you feel excited it's all good, and for the record, I don't know if BotW is yet another botched open world game since I haven't played it.

>>379312315

It wasn't an insult, it's just a recurring pattern I see among BotW fans, and considering most people got it for Switch, to assume someone singing praise for what is otherwise a mediocre game got it for Switch is not much of a stretch.

Sounds more like confirmation bias, you feel that since you didn't like the game that nobody else logically should - as a result, you assume that everyone that got it "must just be salty switch owners!". I don't really know if most people got it on Switch given that CEMU and the Wii U version both exist, but either way it's stupid of you to slap this assumption on my post just because you don't like the fact that I enjoyed the game.

Very much, I played about 40-50 hours then stopped after only beating two of the four divine beasts. Can't say for sure if I'll pick it up again but the adventuring kept me going that whole time.
I feel like you're not using all your tools if you think this is just a walking simulator. Are you shield surfing, gliding, making updrafts with fire, etc?

It's true. Kids nowadays can't stand a moment without action, a moment where they have to actually move from one location to the next.

They also like entry level titles like EU4 and CK2 instead of the Victoria series.

BotW is the farthest thing from a walking simulator. It's more like a gliding, climbing, and fast travel simulator. Stop making BotW critics look bad.

I thought it was pretty fun, stop being so butthurt that a game wasn't made for your tastes. You're talking so much shit about entry-level games and missing the whole reason why specialized games are so good: because they appeal directly to the things you like by sacrificing mass appeal.

A whole lot. First open world game I actually enjoyed. Exploration felt like genuine discovery, rather than Skyrim copypasta or No Man's Sky generation. My only gripe is that playing the game for the full experience (dungeons and all) made the final boss so utterly pathetically easy it was insulting.

Not to mention that after all the cutscenes and focus on plot, finding all the memories turned out to be utterly pointless.

actually probably BotW in a way, but OoT has a special place in my heart still and I replay it yearly
>how much I enjoyed BotW
very much, it was just this time in my life where I could afford to play it comfortably, discuss it with my friends, discover things for myself, roam around aimlessly, try out ideas, and my schedule wasn't fucked up, I wasn't a shut-in or anything at that time, everything just clicked. It doesn't mean it was the best game necessarily but it was my favorite experience playing a game, y'know. I don't know when I'll replay it but I have over 200 hours logged into it and enjoyed each one of them.

>>379314118
yep, when BotW came out people were already pointing that "this is what /v/ would've been like were it around for OoT". BotW isn't a perfect game, and neither is OoT in my opinion, but it does certain things exceptionally well which help it stand out. I can tell that BotW isn't a game for everyone, though, as it's extremely slow-paced (especially if you're the type of player that tries to explore everything), and you can easily miss some of the best moments in the game. Overall, though, BotW is still excellent and it's far too obvious that people shitting on it are just doing it for the sake of contrarianism since they make their points far too extreme to the point it becomes comical. That said, I'm sure there's some out there that legitimately won't like BotW at all, in the same sense that there's people out there that don't like OoT at all.

>>379308439

It's good for what it is and probably the best entry that open world games of this style have to offer, but I think a middleground between BotW's total open-world and a more traditional structured progression, while keeping BotW's physics-based mechanics, would be better for the Zelda series overall.

>How much you enjoyed BOTW
A lot. A whole lot, I usually appreciate linear games with a well thought level design (think about Crash Bandicoot or Mario Galaxy). But BotW surprised me because despite the fact it's not linear, it's actually well designed. The world is built in a way everything works. The challenges, the secrets... It's all a big synergy. Running around is not the main deal about the game, finding something while you walk is. You walk and then a korok seed or a treasure chest or a cove of enemies will make you change direction. I loved getting lost and forgetting where I was heading.
Sure, the game is not flawless (like every single game in existence), I would have preferred more towns and NPCs for instance and more dungeon as big and amazing as Hyrule Castle. But yeah, it's a 9/10 all right.

It's not a perfect game, but it's a good example of /one way/ to do open-world. I've been thinking lately that the three best examples of open world are Witcher 3, Skyrim, and BotW.
Witcher has an amazingly crafted world and story. Skyrim allows for incredible immersion and, despite highly repetitive gameplay, allows for hundreds of hours to be put into it. BotW is a textbook example for natural exploration and discovery in a world.

tl;dr BotW isn't amazing, but it's pretty much the antithesis to anything else coming out of Japan, so it gets bonus points for that.

Adults who don't feel the need to prove they're mature will like it, because they game makes you feel like a kid, a kid exploring a distant world with a fun story and a shit load to do and experiment with.

Patrician opinions about Breath of the Wild:
>The weapon combat feels shallow with a limited set of attacks: swords only slash from left to right, have to switch to a spear to poke, etc.
>The rain is annoying because there's no way to counter it while climbing, you just have to wait it out
>Link drowns way too quickly while swimming, you should be able to rest in the water to regain stamina
>There should have been more than five dungeons
>The Rito and Goron towns feel really underwhelming and unfinished compared to the Zora and Gerudo areas
>120 shrines does feel like padding, there should have been more shrine quests like Eventide Island and the labyrinth
>a lot of the side quests are fetch quests and aren't worth doing
Now, even with all of those gripes, this game is still one of the best games I've ever played, and I'm excited to see how Nintendo builds on it.

Just Cause 2, I remember buying it for $60 back in the day, my first PS3 game was GTAIV and I loved it, I wanted another experience like that so much, so after much research I found out about Just Cause 2 and everything about it seemed wonderful, the videos, gameplays, cities, map, easter eggs. I was expecting a game that merged GTAIV and GTASA, JC2 was supposed to be that game, but after playing, something grew inside me, something born of hatred, anger, disappointment.

The cities are all fucking desertic, the cars are terrible, it's actually fun to jump around like spider-man, but it gets extremely tired after sometime because you do absolutely nothing in the map besides killing random people and buying shit, the "easter eggs" are pathetic, I mean the ideas were cool like the island. from Lost or the dead whale on the beach, but there's nothing besides that, there's no charm to the game, the protagonist is not even charismatic and the story is one of the worst parts, I hated the mission, stop after doing 10 of them I think. This game is no GTA, it's not even close to being as good as GTA, it's not even a good open-world desu.

>The rain is annoying because there's no way to counter it while climbing, you just have to wait it out
The game is about survival in the world, you can counter the rain by making a bonfire and resting there or you can find other ways to reach your destinations without resorting to climbing. There's even a bar on the screen showing the days that will rain.
>Link drowns way too quickly while swimming, you should be able to rest in the water to regain stamina

>There should have been more than five dungeons
Certainly would be better if it had, hopefully they will make much more on the next one.
>The Rito and Goron towns feel really underwhelming and unfinished compared to the Zora and Gerudo áreas
Rito does feel quite short and uninspired
>120 shrines does feel like padding, there should have been more shrine quests like Eventide Island and the labyrinth
There are 45 shrine quests, they are one of the best things of the game, I don't see the problem here
>a lot of the side quests are fetch quests and aren't worth doing
The real side-quests are the shrines quests, the others are just mini-challenges that tries to make the player explore for things, do more climbings, search etc, but there are even a few funny ones that are worth doing.

Considering how frequently it rains in the game, that means that I have to do a lot of waiting. It'd be really easy to offest, too. Just give Link some climbing gloves with grip, or a fucking umbrella with a god damn triforce on it, I don't know.

>>379322115
I'll give you an example of the rain being really frustrating. When you get to the Akkala research lab, you have to retrieve a blue flame and bring it back to Robbie's research lab. The game gives you a decent challenge by putting the flame on a hill across from the research lab, with a river in between and bunch of moblins and a decayed Guardian. This is all fine, it's a real challenge.

But you know what makes it bullshit? It started raining, putting out the flame I was carrying. I managed to light a few lanterns along the path so I didn't have to completely backtrack, but I couldn't progress until the rain went away. I started a campfire in one of the skull shelters.

Not sure if I can finger one favorite, but Tales of Vesperia and Accent Core-onwards Guilty Gear are way up there, just for how much I played them as a teenager.
I thought it was okay, I guess. There is some neat stuff there, but I generally prefer games with more compact, focused linearity in general, and I've also never particularly crazy about Zelda in the first place. Also, the performance problems bugged me a lot.

>>379318847
I get you, that's a good point, anon. Your example highlights how they cling to a specific and absurd distraction, which is an important part of the puzzle. What's funny is that games are simply better sick-person magnets than capeshit, and so are 30 part lets plays. Why is that? I think people actually have a taste for filler. Their conception of happiness exclusively designates "long-term relief" as happiness, and games with a shit ton of filler are simply the better long term distraction. Your tastes can be eclipsed by insecurity, and you can see this in some people really clearly.

What makes someone so frozen solid in the imagination like that? They draw lines across things, but never question the lines. What they do instead is obsess over what side of the line they fall on (am I happy? am I liked?). This is my own way of modelling superstition, at least. This is just one idea of what keeps them locked down into one specific formula that has them "play games for distraction", though they would say "play the games I enjoy the most".

Enjoyed it very much so far, still having a great time every time I get to spend time with it. I think I'm at about 30 hours.

>>379322645

Same. Running around the entire kingdom and climbing everywhere without limitations is what I've always wanted since OoT. Well, it's almost without limitations. I seriously want to know what's on the other side of the bottomless chasm, and the invisible walls could have been extended a fair bit.

>>379308439

You'd rather the game world be instanced?

>>379323896
what you just described is the reason I really don't like it. The ability to just climb over everything makes both enemy encounters and level design pointless or non-existent.

The way the game describes the world and how the world actually is in the game also seems really miss-matched. Zora's domain had the only real threat and the others just have inconveniences or just ignore the ganon plight completely.

Not a lot. I might use some cheat engine to give myself max stamina, HP and weapon durability because everything that isn't just exploration is pretty bad. Shrines have been awful so far, but I like puzzles for the koroks.

You don't have to play it as an open world game though. Just do what everyone tells you and it playes almost completely like a traditional Zelda.

>This has to be generational. I can understand kids growing up on Bethesda and Minecraft with no better sources, but that's the extent of it.

In my experience it's the total opposite, more mature gamers understand exactly why BotW has received the critical appraisal it has. The bitching mostly comes from clueless kiddies who don't understand the first fucking thing about game design.

>>379324775

Yeah, it's unfortunate that the game never really had any sense of urgency, other than the incoming flood at Zora's. Probably the biggest example of divine beast doing fucking nothing is the bird beast. I mean for fuck's sake, it's flying directly above the town, and it has air-to-ground weaponry, yet it's the most harmless one of them all. At least the camel whipped up a huge sandstorm, and the lizard bombarded you with rocks once a week.

>muh game design

By far, the weakest argument in the whole thread. Up there with "it's fun" as a rebuttal worth jack-fucking-shit.

Trying explain off BotW based on game mechanics means needing to also formulate an argument for stamina, durability, ubisoft towers, lack of shrine and monster variety, and lack of value/variety of sidequests and their subsequent reward systems.

Don't go down that rabbit hole, /v/, because you know even less about game design than those you accuse.

It was ok. I didn't like getting all the tools in the beginning area instead of unlocking it in dungeons in order to defeat bosses. I think it needed more than 5 dungeons the final area being the only thing really resembling one. The combat was ez mode but the exploring and methods of travel were pretty good. I really liked shield surfing and shooting enemies with a bow. The enemies weren't varied enough and all DLC should have been free.

>>379326526

It wasn't perfect, but for the last 3-5 years there's been a considerable drop in quality with AAA new releases, and BotW reminded me of when games were given fresh right from the get go. I've played plenty of open world games before BotW and while it's not innovative or groundbreaking, the sum of its parts makes for a unique and wholesome experience which is rare for such a now-bloated genre. The weakest aspect is combat, which feels very thin against the backlog of LoZ games who did combat perfectly, namely Zelda II, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess (GC). The strongest part is the overall presentation - the game engine has lots of polish and novelty, the NPCs all have wonderful personality (except Zelda, easily the worst of the series), it's hard to pick what environment was done the best, the intro plateau gave a wonderful opening. I'm keeping the ending blocked out of my head for how godawful it was but i look forward to the DLC hopefully expanding it to something else.

Can't believe how few comments there are on how ass the dungeons actually are. Easy but annoying gimmicks in every one. Knocked 2 points off the game just for that, and then the copypaste bosses...it's a 6/10 but by no means a OOT killer. No music didn't help it either in a series known for memorable melodies. I played the open world meme before so I'm by no means the target audience: blind Nint0dler or rookie game reviewer.

The only fun I had was Teba's archery minigame and the paraglider distance test. I think only one of those had music jesus christ Nintendo.
