I would say it's a 7/10, it doesn't particularly do anything new but what it does it does well

>>381264053
BotW is a once in a generation game. It's best that you get over that fact sooner rather than later.

Music was good, actually. You're objectively in every other way, though maybe horizon isn't that better. It's on par with botw i guess.

v/ will never get over Breath Of The Wild.

The ass sting will reverberate for the ages.

I will always remember the past 12 months on this board. Watching the same people who devoted so much time and energy to discrediting the switch and Breath Of The Wild - from spreading lies to cherry-picking screenshots - doing everything within their ability to make the console and the game seem bad.

Only to watch their jaws drop in absolute fucking horror as the Switch burst out the gate as a massive overnight success and BotW turned out to be, not just Game Of The Year, but one of the best games ever made.

Fucking glorious. Almost 4 months later and I am still sore with laughter.

>>381266115
This.

Shame they'll never get over it.

I beat it and had a lot of fun buuuuuut:
-They desperately needed more areas like Hyrule Castle, large thematically consistent puzzle/combat areas that are separate from the overworld. The shrines and beasts, while decent enough just didn't cut it. They all basically look the same and doing one puzzle (albeit large relatively complicated ones in the beasts) just aren't as satisfying as working your way through a classic dungeon.
-Bosses sucked, all kind of looked the same and the fights felt the same too. I guess a consequence of not having dungeon items anymore but I like having them be puzzle based or completely different from each other (this one swims, this one flys, you need to throw bombs in this ones stomach before you can attack, etc.)
-Music wasn't there.
-Side quests didn't provide enough interesting benefits. Food, rupees, weapons and other crap like that just blend into the background. May as well have found them while wandering around. In the other games you usually got something substantial (Majora's masks, dungeon items, bottles, whatever).
-Weapon degradation was so quick. You pick up a sword and one mob later you're already chucking it for something new. I don't mind a ton of weapons but maybe have them actually last a while and allow you to repair them so you can get used to some and have some favorites.

Honestly this game has made me realize that I'm not so sure Zelda needs to be open world. Majora is still my favorite and that game benefited immensly from everything being nice and concentrated. Wasn't enormous but was so much more detailed and you really got a feel for each individual area and the people in it because you were wandering around them so much.

My apologizes for trying to discuss video games on a video game board. I'll be more careful next time and keep it to short pithy comments about other posters sexuality and their lack of intelligence compared to my own.

I'm not massively far in so I be not got a rating down, but here's my opinion anyway:

Good:
>Occasional pockets of Zelda worlds and characters are a nice reminder if what I used to like
>Looks good at night
Bad:
>Combat is mediocre, I'm really hoping I've got something more to learn
>Clues to shrines are super vague, and gives no direction as to where they are
>Contents of the shrines are getting better but really boring (do you get a set one each time e.g. go to shrine number 31 and its puzzle 31, or go to shrine 31 first and get puzzle 1, got to 60 second and get puzzle 2, etc.)

It's okay. Horizon was a good game too. You don't have to try to tear down BotW to compensate. It makes you look insecure.

>>381267712

The shrine puzzles are set, shrine 31 will always have puzzle 31, etc.

>>381268192
That's not true.

More like 5/10. Still better than Horizon's 1/10. I cant understand how anyone can like Horizon, its pure liquid dogshit.

>>381268827
The fuck are you talking about? Every shrine is unique. The 'content' of the shrines doesn't move around.

It's THIS thread again.

>Empty world
Could've been a bit more dense, but it's still packed with plenty to do

>Shitty Combat
Obvious bait. the combat, emergent gameplay, and physics are its strongest elements.

>No dungeons
While they're not concentrated like they were in the past what are divine beasts and the 120 mini dungeons (shrines)?

>Terrible music
Sparce and underwhelming music*

>Korok seed for scaling k2\
There have been worse collectathons. At least these require a good eye and some form of puzzle solving to get.

>tfw the BotW hate threads encouraged me to pick up the game again

Thanks sony-bros for reminding me of all the good games you can't play :'^)

>>381269038
Oh, I thought you meant there was a set order of the shrines.

>>381267140
I agree with everything you said; the game has it's flaws but I'm having fun anyway (I'm not that far in tho, just got past Vah Medoh or whatever its name was)
Also I never played any other Zelda other than Minish cap, a remake of the original Nes zelda and Wind waker, I keep hearing how OoT and Majoras mask are so good , what are the best platforms to play them on?

>>381269417
N64, GCN (only for OoT), Wii or 3DS, although the 3DS remaster of MM might not be recommended for a first timer, because it was changed too much, and not really for the better.

>>381269417
Ugh, answering this will collapse the thread into a quagmire of shit.

Purists will say play the N64 versions, if you have a wii handy then simply hack it and download the gamecube ports (they're a little gimped compared to the native N64 versions but nothing to affect your enjoyment unless you are a complete autist) and then there's arguably the definitive versions on 3DS (again purists will baulk at cosmetic changes but the minor tweeks to gameplay and improved graphics and framerate vastly outweight the nitpicks).

>>381269171

Explain it instead of using meaningless buzzwords.

>Game has better graphics so it must be the better game.

/v/ is actually just like /tv/, except instead of knowing nothing about television it knows nothing about video games.

he claims that botw is 7/10, so he does know something about videogames

>>381270139
BotW is doing next-level stuff. The kind of stuff which soon become common place in game. There's no going back.

>>381270139
It's pretty self-explanatory.
There are plenty of ways to deal with enemies via the environment, runes or a combination of both.

Just look up all the creative ways people have manipulated the games' systems.

Have a webm too.

>>381270139
Not that same guy, but maybe "organic" might be a better word? In that you have some more flexibility fighting enemies and approaching in this game compared to previous zeldas.
>>381270410
7 to 8 out of 10 sounds about right. It was a fun game but there are things it could have done better. Anyone who says it's GOTY or that it's shit are biased.

>>381270067
>>381270121
well, I only have my PC and a dustfilled old wii from a friend that probably wont start anymore (will buy a 2DS XL when it comes out) so i'll start with the originals and emulate if theres no substantial difference other than the handheld versions
Thanks for the input anons

>>381270529
Did you know that no one does shit like this outside of le fane utub vides?

>>381270460
>>381270529
>>381270649
Far Cry games offer a similar level of ways to deal with enemies using the environment and the multitude of tools at your disposal.
Surely people don't hail BotW as the first game to do this?

>>381270663
If you plan on playing on PC you might have more stability the gamecube ports on dolphin. Search for the gamecube zelda collection iso's.

>>381270683
>No one
Nice argument, m8.
Whenever I see some sort of environmental element I can exploit to take enemies out without traditional combat, I do it.
It's more fun that way.

I liked BotW, but honestly despite it's massive size I still felt like it was short. There were huge spans of land between each Divine Beast, but really anything aside from the Beasts and Hyrule Castle is unnecessary unless you choose to. I thought Shrines were a neat way to implement pseudo-pieces of heart, but they got so boring so quickly that late-game it barely felt like content.

>>381264053
>le 7 outta 10 at best
I just hope you understand how unoriginal that statement is.

They aren't. People are just saying that they like that about the game.

At least I hope so.

>>381264053
>7/10
Only if ffXV gets 5/10, am I right?

>>381271067
what the fuck man, does every statement have to be original or what?

You should have learned by now from the zillion other ass blasted sonybros that the answer is no.

>>381264053

horizon wasn't better, but BOTW wasn't a 10.

it was too easy. If they made saving points instead of save anywhere, made it so you didn't have infinite space for healing items/food, make it very easy to get healing, it would've been much better.

The sequel to this game should be more traditional zelda. Combine this with BOTW overworld, with more enemy variety, and you got a 10/10 game.

This game had me feeling like I did with South Park: The Stick of Truth. So close to being a perfect 10/10 game, but just not there.

>>381271664
with statements like these, /v/ made me buy a switch and be ashamed of buying horizon.
45 hrs in zelda i realised that it feels and plays just like cartoonish horizon. fuck you and fuck /v/

Do they though? Other than fire, animals and hiding in foliage it doesn't really matter what environment you find enemies in or under what circumstances, you're almost always going at them with guns/explosives and there's not much you can do about it.

Yeah it's super bor8ng. 7/10 indeed. I've been saying this from the start.

Yep.

You farm ingredients to craft and upgrade shit.
You complete shitty fetch sidequests.

I wish doing stuff like this actually payed off. Any normal person would just avoid it like you do with 90% of fights in this game because it's just not worth it.

The issue for me was that they were so close in a lot of it. overhaul the weapon system, add some interesting sidequests and rewards, make the music more consistent (parts of it stand out, like Hyrule Castle and the dragon encounters, IE when it's not aimless piano ditherings)
