Seriously right now, all shitposting aside. Why is this acceptable in 2017? Remember the ragdol/body physics that F.E.A.R had 12 years ago? remember the fish AI reacting to mario in super mario 64 in 1996, 21 years ago? remember when you could cut grass in NES games 30 years ago?
This is a high budget AAA first party sony ps4 exclusive. Why is the industry making one step forward in Textures and 5 steps backwards in gameplay? Does optimizing how many pretty looking trees and textures you can fit into a console really take up so much time so that gameplay gets neglected? There's gotta be something more to that. And why are people accepting it and seem to not care about it?

Less experienced devs vs Experienced devs, who'da'thunk.
HZD is not bad game for a studio that was previously relegated to make FPS. And HZD is just another exclusive, not a flagship game meant to sell consoles.

Because at some point, some market researcher found out that people don't give a rats ass about little details that all add up to make a great game. What they buy is retarded shit that sells to the lowest common denominator.
Film saw the same thing happen to it, as did music. Production became easier and cheaper, so people started producing shit that sold to the common man based on popularity and not merit.
Right now women and nu-males make up the bulk of the 'untapped' buying power that publishers want to make money off of, so take a guess where games are headed in the next 5 years.

Are you implying that the Elite of playstation lack experience?

don't they see that the Movie and music audience aren't the same as the one who play video games?

physics+emergent gameplay should be the future

HZD is just a turd sandwich dressed up to look pretty with static visuals
BotW had the benefit of an absurdly long development time and huge resources from a company biding their time. HZD didn't. Guerilla was publish or perish and cut every corner they could. You think they had time for gold polishing? BotW had time for like 5 layers of gold polishing
The simple reality is, HZD is what you can reasonably expect from a modern AAA video game with a realistic budget and schedule. Its not perfect, its not amazing, its not filled with insane amounts of content or detail. Its passable. Zelda is an outlier because this game was supposed to come out like 4 years ago

no, theres a common consensus that the game is very flawed, all reviewers point out many flaws in the game
its not contrarian
the game ran at 20 fps at launch, had major performance issues
BOTW runs smooth as fuck and looks current gen
visuals of BOTW got downgraded to hell and back
the dude comparing the vegetation just ignoring that ugly as fuck ultra generic flat as fuck texture thats all over once he cuts the grass with his blade
and 2nd video is literally muh water
what exactly did zelda do inside the water that was important?
and the comparing climbing? yoiu should have compared it to dragons dogma
this i just lazy pandering attempting to apologize for a bad game
core game of zelda is nothing butw copy pasted encounters shat out all over the map
core gameplay and systems of zelda is ultra contrived and poorly designed
isnt GOTYAY and isnt even GOTY, i'd argue persona 5 is a better game as a whole experience, and youll retort with apples to oranges, after comparing a grape to an apple for the past 50 minutes

>elite at making atmospheric FPS about space nazis
>tries an open-world game and still "succeed"
its like cooking steak: grilled vs sous vide

It's exactly the same faggot. Stop deluding yourself that there is anything elitist, intellectual or high taste about video games. People with patrician taste make like 0.1% of people who play games. The video game audience 99.9% is perfectly identical to the music or film audience 99.9%
>>381091265
Normies don't give a shit about those things
It's also much easier to make a graphically good game without having to worry about those details
