It's an amazing open world, probably the greatest ever made.

Fuck shrines though, give me dungeons back.

>>379466873
Why do we have stupid fucking posts like this

>>379467005
I was mostly just let down with how many of them were shitty combat shrines, or "reward shrines".

The puzzle ones were always a fucking blast.

> You go and explore it because you wonder what's out there, not because a loot icon tells you to
>You want to explore this land whether or not you are on a quest, or being tasked to

This is Breath of the Wild's greatest strength and I'm glad western developers are starting to realize this. Hopefully we'll see some Western devs make improved games if they learn from this.

This. There are flaws, but since it's release, I've played it a little everyday. Just to play it, with no particular objective in mind.

....and /v tried to convince us that it was bad and nintendo was doomed. Wtf. Even shills should know when their lies will work.

You will never play BotW again for the first time.

>>379467946
Because it's a milestone in gaming. People will be constantly referencing BotW for the next decade at least.

He fact that CDPR may take inspirations from this is really neat. If Cyberpunk 2077 removes the glowing crumb trail and gives the player compelling reason to poke around the world, it would be a markable improvement over the witcher.

Pls just give me good noire sci fi

I love this. Everythine you discover something it feels exactly like that - something YOU discovered, not just another thing in a checklist waiting to be checked off. This is one of the game's greatest achievements - everybody's adventure feels unique to them.

You can be a dev and still be biased as fuck. ESPECIALLY if you're a dev growing up on franchise inspirations.

That whole article is salty AAA shitters wishing they could justify Ubisoft towers in any way/shape/form. Nintendo glossed over it and get praised by their fanboys for it.

This isn't news. It's an extension of /v/'s baloney.

>>379468453
Nonsense.

should i get a switch to play this game or get cemu?

>>379468598
>>379468286

>>379465484
It's hard to take people's praise of a game seriously when the game is already a critical darling and a strong financial success. Comes off more like preaching to the choir than anything. Maybe they really do believe what they say, but mob psychology is a hell of a drug.

>>379468653
Don't waste your time. I dropped BotW after a few hours.

>>379468664
Doesn't make it any less true, bitchboi.
BOTW is "we put highlights on our repetitive as fuck shrines so we dont need automated content markers" The Game. It's still open world. There's still nothing meaningful in term so content, and it's still boring as fuck. That's ignoring the broken healing and durability systems.

If a game like Witcher 3 was made with the fluidity of BOTW and the combat depth of Dragon's Dogma, my wiener would explode.

>>379468561
Not really. The 3DS isn't getting a new pokemon game, it's getting a special edition re-release of the one from last year.

It's a cheap and cynical way for Nintendo to make a shit load of cash from minimal effort. Business gonna business.

Any new pokeman game from GameFreak will be developed soley for Switch I'm guessing.

>Remove quest markers
>Game gets much better

Huh, really makes you think

>>379465484
People who make open world shit games like other similar open world shit games, wow.

>>379468795
Where's your wife, Jimmy?

>>379468605
I'm not trying to be a contrarian here, but honestly what else is there? The entire gameplay loop of the game revolves around finding and solving shrines until you're strong enough to beat Ganon, then you go kill him. There's the 4 divine beasts, sure, but those are like 30 minutes long each.

>>379468653
CEMU with the GPUhook plugin for sure. Runs better than most Switch/WiiUs on a half-decent system.

It's also the open world meme, so don't trust critics and the Nintendie 8.8 Internet Defense Force with your wallet.

Yeah, no. This is just proof that BOTW is mediocre. Way too many people like it, and I've never seen something popular be good.

I'm glad that people at CDPR are taking note. If they can combine the hand-holding-free sense of exploration of BotW with the quality of side quests from tw3, then I'm sure we can expect great things from their future games.

One of the first things i did as i got out pf the restoring chamber was climb the peak immediately above me, then a tree up to the top where Link got in a observing stance. I could see almost the entire world, the beasts, camps of moblins just fucking around... it was a good feeling

But then again i guess i feel the same for the other Zeldas I've played, OoT and MM. I guess I'm just a fag for their atmosphere

First off, I'm being honest here and not just trying to start an argument. I don't really get the appeal of BOTW. I don't think it's bad or anything, but I don't really find myself enjoying it too much and I much prefer the older style of Zelda. BOTW just kind of feels to me like there's nothing to really do in it. You walk around the world, and solve shrines. That's pretty much it. The shrines aren't even interesting about half the time. Occasionally you find a small outpost or village that gives a quest or two, but other than that the world doesn't feel like it has much substance. So I guess my question is, everyone who has hundreds of hours in this game, what have you actually been DOING the whole time? What do you like about the game? What am I missing here?

You discover shit. You're not led around by the game. It's not a linear experience. You create your own.

Almost all games nowadays are played with a goal in mind. This doesn't really have one, hence why it's bad for goal-oriented gamers.

>>379469647

I don't mean any disrespect when I say this, I know that there are plenty of salty haters but then there are also genuine people like you who cannot understand the fuss.

Seriously the game is not without its flaws. Trust me I wish event time I found somthing cool it wasn't ultimately a shrine or seed. But god damn do I feel bad for the idiots who rushed through the game. Now I hate when people say you have to play a game a certain way but this game is meant to be savored and not rushed through. Seriously jusr load it up look at the map mark an interesting place you haven't been to and travel to it. Every single time I sit down and jusr explore without forcing myself to play it I always find myself getting lost and exploring the world. I always find a new spot I never have seen or gone to or even better a sequence which blows my mind. The latest was this completely pitch black forest which could only be traversed with a light source like a torch. Seriously the game is far from perfect but it's a masterpiece and once again I feel bad that idiots who rushes through it have pretty much ruined the experience for themselves. Makes me excited to see what else Nintendo will do if it's this same level of quality.

>>379470118
Because he has no argument against BotW.

>>379470307
Great things are basically always popular, worst case scenario it becomes a cult hit. This also happens to be the franchises that's heavily influenced the gaming industry over the decades so it's popular for a reason. And I don't think Sony is evil, I just think they make bad to mediocre games.

>>379469802
What kind of experience are you creating tho? Is it actually just admiring the environments? I don't have a problem with sandbox games, but sandbox games usually have complex game mechanics to master, or fun combat, or SOMETHING other than just running around. I will say that BOTW was magical for the first 10 hours or so, but then the initial wow factor wore off, and I stopped discovering as many new things. Then I started noticing how I was just doing the same thing over again, and how the combat isn't very good. I want to enjoy the game, but I can't help feeling like there's not really anything compelling me to play more.
>>379469898

cause it re-defines what is exploration and open world

previous open worlds were just bag that devs filled with little shit to do and gave you a checklist to do so.

BOTW gives you a world and let you find out if you have something to do in it or not by traveling and exploring, no going from A to B cause the maps show you so

>>379470462

>I just think they make bad to mediocre games.
This is a wrong opinion though, which is the point of my image. Games like Uncharted and TLOU constantly receive praise and awards, so according to you, they're objectively good. They may not be AS good as Zelda, but to imply that they're not masterpieces in themselves is a contradiction in your own logic.

>b-but game journos only like them because of their stories

They still think it's a great GAME, so essentially gameplay isn't as important to the masses in this situation.

>>379470567
> let you find out if you have something to do in it
The problem is that the answer is no, there isn't anything to do in it.

And according to game journos, both make GOTY-worthy video games. Story is just as important, if not more important, than gameplay according to the masses that praise TLOU or Uncharted. And let's see what you said earlier.

How can TLOU be mediocre if it receives a majority consensus of praise? Don't forget that the EXACT SAME PEOPLE who love TLOU also go nuts over the new Zelda. You cannot say they have bad taste without sabotaging Zelda's scores with doubt. You cannot attempt to cherrypick their scores as if they're only right some of the time, as you're still dealing with the same people and the same biases and same tastes. You're attempting to make divides and cherrypick when it just doesn't work here.

>a broken clock is right twice a day

That just means you're willing to listen to something that's wrong 86398 times in a day, all because you liked what you saw two times. That is what the pros call "selective bias".

>>379468991
holy shit get a load of this fedora logic

>>379472271
>But they're objectively right
Nope. GOAT games sometimes pretty mediocre reviews. Tropical Freeze for example. It's easily one of the greatest platformers of all time but still only has 83 on metacritic.

Hey Nintendo kids, the right thing to do in a situation like this is go back to enjoying your good game and stop feeding the trolls. Now enjoy your life sentence on 4chan.

>>379472487
I want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes

>>379472424

>It's easily one of the greatest platformers of all time but still only has 83 on metacritic.
But who says it's one of the greatest platformers? Why should I listen to someone who doesn't have an official game journalist website? After all, popularity, right?

Also, I'd love to see you show that same enthusiasm towards a non-Nintendo game. You seem to have quite a bit of bias.

>>379468528
But sports sim are already shit for dudebros

>>379472656
>But who says it's one of the greatest platformers?
I do.
>I'd love to see you show that same enthusiasm towards a non-Nintendo game.
Bannerlord. MonHun. Dragon Quest. SMT, etc.

>>379472760

>I do.
And who the heck are you? What have you done to convince me that your viewpoint is somehow one of objectivity, based in non-bias?

>Bannerlord. MonHun. Dragon Quest. SMT, etc.
Not a single game I like, so why would I trust you with any GOTY recommendations? who are you to speak for me?

>>379472897
>Not a single game I like
We already know you have shit taste, faggot.

>>379472897
He doesn't have shit taste so you're right, he can't speak for you.

You wake up from a 30 year coma
You're alone in a room with no way out
You have a Switch with BotW in the room
You have no idea what Zelda is
You play the game
You enjoy it
Then somebody frees you from the room
You see the outside world
You see that BotW recieved a lot of great reviews
Do you still like the game?

>>379472973
>>379472963

>shit taste
There you go again, making unsourced claims. Who are you to decide what's "shit" and what "isn't"? We've already established that you're willing to cherrypick and use double standards, so your testimony is questionable.

>>379473112

How do you know if I liked it or not? That's an awful big assumption, as I don't like cinematic experiences.

>>379473213
Prove you don't have shit taste.

>>379473213
You only use fallacies, retard.

Will people please, for the love of god, stop replying to ACfag? It's been years, just ignore him.

>>379473398

Ah yes, coming from the guy who said, and I quote, "Zelda is perfect because it's popular" and then immediately says "TLOU isn't good, being popular means nothing". How funny.

>>379473391

>Prove you don't have shit taste.
See, that depends on you my friend. I could list any number of my favorite games, but I expect a barrage of buzzwords at any game I would list, from "shovelware shit" to "retro shit" to "autism" and many others. Are you willing to work with me here? I'd love to give some recommendations.

>>379465484
Even developers appreciate the game from a game design standpoint.
Only /v/ shitposters at this point insist to call it mediocre (because saying it's shit would immediately make them obvious, so they have to set the bar higher anyway).
The funny thing is that those devs will put some BotW mechanics in their next games and those shitposters will LOVE those games.

>>379473635
So you want me to prove that you don't have shit taste?

Alright then mate. Here is my recommendation list of my personal GOTY picks, and the runner ups, for the past 5-6 years. Along with it I've written up a brief list of explanations as to how and why I consider them GOTY worthy.

You're welcome to speak your piece on these games, but all I ask is that you speak objective fact, and keep the opinions to a minimum.

>>379473885

>You ignore every argument to post the same fallacies ad nauseum.
what arguments have I ignored? I made clear my gripes with the game, so you're welcome to pick at them and tell me why they're somehow wrong.

>>379473962
>I made clear my gripes with the game
The only thing you've made clear is that you have a serious case of aspergers syndrome.

>>379473948
i never said the content doesnt count. stop projecting my fellow nintenbabby. go ahead and call me a sonyfag even though i dont own a console.
i could take any game and describe the most boring quests there are in a way that sounds interesting & fun to prove how stupid that image is but im not nearly autistic enough.

>>379474089
>but im not nearly autistic enough
Who you trying to fool?

>>379465484
I loved the game on my first playthrough, but it has some serious problems

Ultimately weapon durability was needed in this game, due to the fact that it is simple way to create a constant stream of rewards that the player will find useful. This is the same as finding loot in any other game, however because all of your gear breaks in botw, none of it is "wanted but not needed" and is instead "needed but not wanted"

They need it in the game because quite frankly, there isn't anything more interesting in the game, which really is a shame, but there's a whole metagame that feels like it isn't there, and instead weapon durability was put in its place to seal the gap in game design that resulted

Korok seeds is a silly, uninspired, and unrealistic sidequest that like 5 people in the world will complete

Why is the green tunic only available after everything is already complete? There's no fucking use for it after that point

The game has essentially zero replayability

The towns and settlements are all following interactive formulas with each other, and once you understand the gameplay layout of one, you have essentially seen all of them, as they all run off of the same logic

Its a shame, I've tried to replay it after having finished it and done all 100 shrines, but there just isn't anything to come back too

>>379474041

I'd love to hear you elaborate on that.

You know what Sonybros?
I don't even own a Switch, I wasn't planning to buy BoW, but you niggers seems to be so butthurt that I'm starting to think the BoW must be a true masterpiece.
Your behavior has sold me a Switch + Zelda.

>>379465484
Watch Ubisoft go and learn nothing from Zelda and make their games the same they always have.

>>379468820
I'm sure someone will make it eventually

The tears this game is causing would sustain Africa for centuries.
See you again during the GOTY awards, it will be a bloodbath.

>>379474564
Zelda took actual effort, talent and vision. And it was developed on graphics that are ten times cheaper than modern AAA games. Ubisoft isn't even going to try to match that.

>>379474668
This is sadly true. Most devs just simply won't be able to replicate BotW's game design and gameplay mechanics. That would take time, money, talent and an actual desire to create something good.

>>379474089
>i could take any game and describe the most boring quests there are in a way that sounds interesting & fun to prove how stupid that image is

and the opposite is also true, where faggots keep downplaying BotW to make it sound boring when it's revolutionary

>>379465484
>For every creatives, it's a lesson. The game [BotW] seems to tell us : put yourself in question. We realize that we are far from excellency.
Tommy François, Ubisoft's franchise director.
