Why are you shilling the flavour of the month meme game of 3 months ago?

Is this a pasta?

Be prepared for every open world game to be a collectathon

>>381150506
But every open world game is already a collectathon. It's just they keep fucking up and giving us stuff to collect that means nothing and adds nothing to the gameplay, making it boring and uninteresting. BotW included.

How can any other open world compare?

You see those trees? You can cut them
You see those mountains? You can climb them
You see Hyrule Castle in the middle? You can zip there in order to clear the last dungeon of the game at any moment you desire
You will find life (enemies and wild life) as you reach those

>>381150014
Cut him some slack, it's all Nintendo has, especially since switch players just got MH yanked from under them with no warning. T9 be fair, BotW is fun for a minute.

>>381151741
Yeah but it's still not some "10/10 changed the landscape of open world games forever!" Masterpiece, it literally just did "less then absolutely trash open world game" while still managing to be one of the worst Zelda games.

>>381151741
If the textures load properly, that is

>>381152343
Apparently you are not aware that MH is only popular in Japan? And not even terribly popular there? MH XX has sold a whopping 1.7M copies.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-04-27-resident-evil-7-sales-top-3-5m-worldwide

It's safe to say that there are very few Switch owners on /v/ that are upset at MHW. And most of those are actually Sony falseflaggers.

>>381152724
It's hard to even compare this game to other Zelda's.
>food analogy
A single scoop of strawberry icecream might be preferable to a big ass strawberry smoothie loaded with a bunch of other flavors, or it could be the other way around, that's all I mean. Everybody has different tastes, but old zelda and this zelda really only share the flavor, or like the aesthetic. A elf prince dude that's blonde. A elf princess. Evil bad guy with some purply-black shit. Some names and locations and characters and races. Otherwise, the rest is pretty different.

>>381152846
Found the CEMUfag.

>>381153239
The CEMUfag is busy taking screenshots with a trainer and then never playing the game again.

>>381153141
I never said monster Hunter was a wildly popular series at all, but there is a fan base, and the can base has been stuck on Nintendos shit hardware for a good while, and some people even bought switches expecting a MH title on it.

MH was the only franchise Nintendo had I gave a shit about, I'm super happy it's not there anymore, but I also sympathized with people who bought a switch hoping for a non 240p MH and still not having anything else coming for the switch that looks like anything that great.

>>381152724
I dont think you can argue that this wont change the landscape of open world games forever.
I think the game is okay and i havent played it since i got 90ish shrines but i know for a fact itll stir shit up. Not as much as oot did but yeah.

>How can any other open world compare?

They can't.

Video game history has now been spilt into Before BotW and After BotW.

How's that asshole feeling?

>>381152724
if they kept the BOTW engine and made a proper zelda it could have actually been amazing. Instead they wasted time on open world,which excuses them of any actual level design and a bunch of food and crafting mechanics that don't add shit to the game. I hope they make an actual good zelda with the same engine in a year or 2, but I doubt it.

>>381153181
All that shit you just ran down was really cute and everything, but BotW is still just a slightly above mediocre open world game, that some Nintendo fans like to pretend is the second coming of Vidya Jesus. And on top of it, still not even a very good Zelda game, if they only share an aesthetic, then why make it a Zelda game at all, oh right, because that's how Nintendo markets shit, they use retards and their IP brand loyalties. That doesn't change the fact that Nintendos Open world title that they decided to put a Zelda skin on is a bad Zelda game.

OP's post but unironically. It's kind of frustrating to play open world games where you just can't climb over everything.

>>381154045
See this agree with, BotW was good ground work for a Potentially MUCH better sequel. But the retards who blindly praise it as perfect are the worst kinds of drones

>>381153890
(You)

Nah you're just pacing yourself like a fucking idiot. Who the hell plays an open world game right after another? I can barely stomach 1 per year.

>>381153786
It doesn't happen on the Switch for sure, and I've never seen it on the WiiU. Sounds like you need to report a bug to the CEMU devs. Or get the actual consoles the game was developed and tested on.

>>381154045
I didn't realize how badly I wanted this. One of the most frustrating parts in Zelda is the parts between dungeons mainly feel like filler. It'd be nice to have more focused areas with stuff worth exploring between dungeons.

>>381154340
Agreed 500%

>>381154225
Why? Just because one game doesn't have the mechanics of the other doesn't make it bad? Is zelda garbage, because I can't royal guard cancel attacks or something? It sounds like silly fanboy bias to me.

>>381148496
Agreed, hope everyone rips it off by next year. BotW was dozens of hours of being surprised by what you could do, so every game after is being disappointed by what you can't.

>>381155887
It's more fundamental than that, it's like if a new action game came out and it was missing any kind of canceling and you spent the entire game wishing it had it.

>>381155239
What do you mean by "worth exploring?" It's all going to come down to heart pieces and golden skulltulas in a Zelda game. BotW did it right by making everything into side content.

Tfw A single zelda game on handled with shitty hardware destroyed the ass of every john-far cry/ass creeds/witcher/skyrim-clones and just redo the entire way open world are built.

>>381159582
It was also on a console with shitty hardware.

I really wish they expanded the food and crafting more.
However they did at least shove in design where they could, with shrines and focused areas like the path to Zora village and around shrines.

The biggest thing for me is the lack of enemy variety.
Where the shit are Darknuts and Like-Likes at least? Those would fit amazingly

I enjoyed this game and would not hesitate to play it all over again, I love seeing the same characters I like being brought back time and time again.

but FUCK nintendo NO FISHING? ALL THE WEAPONS AND NOT A FISHING POLE????!!?

Exploring the world in Horizon is a waste of time, every different thing you see on a map is a place to buy things or something that must be triggered by a side quest

>>381161641
I think that would've been a nice addition, but be honest, would you even bother when you can already bait, shoot, spear, and bomb fishes?

How did you guys like BoTW soundtrack?

Objectively better soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCmo32GpTm4

>>381161401
this

>>381161852
yes i would, fishing not not about just getting the fish as fast as possible its about being comfy as fuck and chilling and catching the biggest fish. Using a bomb to blow them all out of the water is just not fun.

>>381162012
Building a dam out of Cryosis, blowing up fish down the length of a river, and scooping them all up at once when they get caught between the ice blocks is fun.

>>381162412
70 hours in and I'm still learning new things

>>381148496
It's kind of like Ultima in 3D with shitty dungeons. It's pretty awesome. The overworld is amazing.

>>381162412
wow i'd never thought of that either, doesn't change the fact that I WANT TO FUCKING FISH WHY CAN'T I FISH There is even a full village that is a FISHING VILLAGE and there are no fishing poles!!!?!!?

>>381161401
This might've been the first time Like-Likes would've made any sense as an enemy.

>almost everyone is already done talking about it
>thinks it'll be a fond memory in 10 years

>>381163202
>like-like takes your master sword

>I am constantly venturing into strange and difficult-to-access parts of the map and being disappointed when there's nothing there, not even a Korok Seed OR something to discover
Korok seed is extremely boring and there's nothing else to this game other than towers shrines and korok seeds, it's fucking boring, the exploration sucks

>>381163202
Them eating shields before was such a weird and out of place mechanic, but now everything destructible.

>>381161917
The only song I remember from it is the one from rito village and even then it's a remake of the song from windwaker, music wasn't good and there wasn't enough of it

>>381163315
Exactly. An enemy that worked with the new equipment/durability system would be such a natural fit.

Maybe for the next Zelda.

>>381163308
Korok seeds are my favorite open world collectible.

>>381164137
good for you, they're still really boring

windwaker 2.0
mario galaxy 2.0

nintendo isvdone

>>381164370
But they're fun. It was really interestimg to find a new type of Korok puzzle dozens of hours in, realising that you had probably passed by a bunch of that puzzle previously.

>>381148496
Do you think that's bad?
Try playing Red Faction: Guerrilla for a while, using the upgraded hammer, then play another shooter.

You will be constantly annoyed by the fact you can't just break the walls.

>>381165345
You could also just play the Red Faction series in release order and lament at how the destruction gets progressively gutted.

>>381165596
Kinda.
It starts quite well, the best you can do on a PS2, then they amp it a fuckload on guerrila, and then well everything goes to shit.

>>381148496
I know that feel. Going into the much more confined world of Nier Automata right after BOTW was jarring as fuck.

>>381166056
It's been a while, but I remember that the first game gave you a lot of leeway in blowing stuff up and tunneling through places. Then the second game had invincible walls all over the place. Then they got rid of terrain deformation entirely.

>>381167578
Well yes, on guerrila you could not blast terrain anymore, but they traded it off with building demolition that was fucking awesome.

Then they made a retarded scripted TPS.

>>381148496
Jesus christ ninyendyearolds are fucking embarrassing. Comparing this garbage to Witcher 3? Kill yourself you worthless insect.

>>381148496

I felt the same way when I got my first porno mag back when I was 12.

You'll realize it's not so shiny once the pages are sticking together and your friends don't care anymore.

>>381168151
You could play this on CEMU too and it'd still make playing Witcher 3 afterwards feel like pulling teeth.
