BOTW has ruined all open world games like Witcher 3 and HZD for me.
Bought Horizon Zero Dawn during the E3 sale last week, and I've put maybe 15-20 hours into it. I finished BOTW then went back to HZD. I cant take it seriously after BOTW.
I am constantly jumping against random walls to try and climb them
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
I am also constantly marveling at how good the weather animation is in HZD, but keep expecting to be struck by lightning during every storm. I feel no fear or nothing wherever I am.
And when I go back to MGSV to try and finish it, or Blood and Wine, or Xenoblade Chronicles X... it's the same damned thing.
Breath of the Wild has really ruined open world games for me. Nintendo has set a brand new standard, and it is just too, too high.
Nintendo has literally set a new fuckin standard. Open world skyrim clones literally don't feel the same after this game, this game will be remembered 10 years down the line. Honestly, I'm left unsatisfied by how empty other games are. The focus on hyperinteractivity in the environment has changed open world forever.

How crusty are your palms right now?
personally i've never been able to play two open world games in the same year as each other in the first place
Lmao why is it when these threads happen nobody ever talks about how they think the story and writing is superior to other open world games its always just the climbing mechanic

Can you prove what you just wrote?

This. I always like to play Tetris for the deeply nuance emotional story.

I am a gigantic Zelda fan and lore-retard, with tattoos, but I have no idea how BotW could have spoiled the likes of Witcher 3.
Maybe you prefer more sandbox-y games? Less story, more freedom/repetitive but freeform content?
I genuinely consider BotW the most overrated Zelda game, despite it being near perfect, in my eyes. It's great, but nowhere near the quality of most high rated open world games of the last 5 years or so. Skyrim is trash but.

Nice pasta

Because the story in BotW is shit, especially when you compare it to something like W3.
Granted, that game has the backup of incredible source material, but the creative freedoms taken and cultivated in the Witcher franchise are insanely good. Zelda story hasn't ever been that great, outside of fan theory and untouched lore, but the peak of it (story alone) was Skyward Sword.
But even that pails in comparison to any of the Witcher games.

That or muh physics which just basic shit that only gets praised because it's Zelda
