The world design in XCX and XC is leagues above Zelda. So imaginative. Monolithsoft are incredible at world-building. Deeper battle system. More customisation that actually has meaning to it. Xenoblade games actually have a fucking soundtrack. Zelda team can't write a half decent story for shit because most Nintendo teams can't, except Monolithsoft. The VA is atrocious. Xenoblade is a more exciting and refreshing series and injects into it's story many thought provoking and complex concepts such as philosophy, gnosticism, existentialism, religion, etc. while also masterfully interweaving it with more universal concepts such as love, happiness, pain, sorrow, hope, and others. It's more exciting to me. Zelda is literally just about saving Zelda from Ganon's "darkness". As a 27 year old gamer, that shit doesn't satisfy me. I don't have any nostalgia for the series either. Xenoblade is just more interesting to me.

Yeah but they obviously didn't go all out like they do with their own games. I don't even want to think about how shit BotW world would be without Monolithsofts input.

I feel you, OP. I think most people are ready to move on from BotW now. Once Xenoblade 2 hits shores, BotW will be but a distant memory.

The worlds in Xenoblade and X are much less interactive and almost feel like theme parks compared to Breath of the Wild's. Actually being able to see what everything you're collecting is instead of generic blue orbs/crystals makes a big difference, and let's not even get into the physics engine or the way more advanced enemy AI in Zelda. Of course, they're two different genres and they're both great at what they set out to do so the conclusion is that OP is a faggot.

>The worlds in Xenoblade and X are much less interactive and almost feel like theme parks compared to Breath of the Wild's
Because BotW has to have something to make up for its barebones story, lack of stat building, no equipment customisation, or deep and tactical battle system, etc. Xenoblade is a much, much deeper and rewarding game regardless of its lack of interactivity. It doesn't need interactivity the way Zelda does. It's already got all the good meaty stuff.

>Actually being able to see what everything you're collecting is instead of generic blue orbs/crystals makes a big difference

This stuff is present in Xenoblade 2 now.

>and let's not even get into the physics engine or the way more advanced enemy AI in Zelda.

Shit like that is not going to make people look back on the game as a classic. There's no emotion to it. Oh wow, a bobokim or whatever dodged my arrow. So memorable.

>Of course, they're two different genres and they're both great at what they set out to do so the conclusion is that OP is a faggot.

Xenoblade is a more intelligently and deeper experience than Zelda. Deal with it.
>>
>>382774949
worlds in both Xenoblade are just big pretty looking rocks.

0 interaction, not even a wind

Zelda world has full physics.
>>
>>382777231
Zelda doesn't have an epic 60 hour theme-laden story, or stat building, or an affinity system, or equipment production, or attachable gems, or break or topple, or shard, or toxin, or virus, or plague. It has dull characters. Terrible VA. Typical save the light from the evil darkness. Terribly boring quests. Boring soundtrack. Xenoblade has much much more to offer and is a deeper and richer experience.

Your argument is pretty much: "B-but in Xenoblade you can chop down a tree!"
>>
>>382777525
*Can't

>>382774949
You can't interact at all with the world in xenoblade. It's outdated world design stuck in the 90s. It's a fucking wax museum you autist.

If Zelda didn't have it's little Miyamoto gameplay boner physics system, then you Zelda fucktards wouldn't have anything to enjoy. Everything else about the game is mild to shit.

Agreed OP. All these people calling zelda innovative and perfect have never played xenoblade. Maybe that's why I was so underwhelmed by it after 50 hours and all shrines done. I ended up putting 200 into XCX and I enjoyed it far more.
>>
>>382778083
Hmm. Xenoblade X looks much more impressive, imo. The world in Zelda is actually quite small vertical wise.

XCX is fucking shit because of the gamepad.

Yup. I got so bored just doing shrine after shrine after shrine. Plus they all look the same and carry the same atmosphere and music.

But tbf you can push a boulder all the way to the last boss so it deserves it's 97 on metacritic.

This.

I'm also 27 and I prefer BotW by a considerable amount, so I don't know why the fuck OP bothered to mention his age as if it matters.

Also Xenoblade Chronicles shits all over XCX.

I know OP is baiting but Xenoblade X doesn't even have proper shadow mapping which makes the world look even more static and shallow. Breath of the Wild has tons of systems going on including fire propagation and top notch physics. It's actually an impressive showpiece considering it's running on fucking Wii U hardware.
>>
>>382778403
It is. Game might not be be perfect, but the world design is the best you'll find in pretty much any game. Exploring the world before getting mechs is probably one of the better experiences out there atm.
>>
XCX doesn't even have the simples physics engine from 20 years ago, not even fucking Havok.
XCX has shit for animations, the story is atrocious, the acting is boring and the fighting is just offline MMO with cooldowns, IE the worst fighting system ever, even ATB is better.
I'm glad I pirated that piece of shit because if I bought it I would have killed myself for the stupidity.
>>
>>382778220
too bad you also have to play that shit, and it's just a boring offline MMO with grinding out the ass.
sad!

Have you literally not watched the Xenoblade 2 treehouse gameplay video on YouTube?

The original Xenoblade is still better than BotW. You should just kill yourself anyway.

>>382783503
Oh no, don't misunderstand me. Interactive mechanics / """emergent gameplay""" shit is nice... when it works. Pretty much the immersive Sims like Deus Ex, Dishonored, Nu-Prey, some Hitman games, and a couple others, are the best way of handling it.
BotW just feels like a tech demo. The mechanics are interesting, but don't translate into anything worth writing home about. It's just a way Nintendo can shift the conversation from the clunky gameplay, barebones music, dungeons, and overworld, and lackluster story (even for Zelda standards)

Agreed.

The hype for the game was over the roof before the game came out, I saw gaming websites praising it to no end with hyperbolic statements like "best game ever made" and "open-world perfection" and "a masterpiece". I'm not even kidding, it was ridiculous.

Now fast forward a couple of months after it's release and, oh boy, have the tables turned. It's remembered more now for its problems. And the hype for it just dropped to a lukewarm reception. I fail to see how "the best game ever made" could receive such negativity and average responses. Nah man. Way overhyped.

Why must /v/ compare things when there's absolutely no need? XBCX and BotW are both amazing and two of my favourite games.

This is low quality bait, and yet /v/ is retarded enough to fall for it. Both games are great in their own right.

>>382788537
No, Zelda is great, Xenoblade looks like shit, plays like shit and the story is shit.

The only thing we learned from this thread is that both BotW and XCX were amazing.

The only game that should have never existed and all of their fans should be gassed and killed along with their developers is XC2
