Because the game isn't on the WiiU. I can guarantee you that more people here will say they like vanilla Skyrim now that it is coming for the Switch.

BotW is basically one huge ass blueprint for the true next step for Zelda. It was nice of them to try and recontextualize Zelda 1's exploration in a modern light but they really undermined the rest of the Zelda formula in the process. They brought the overworld up to speed, now they just need to bring the rest of Zelda with it.

Ironic

The overworld is fine. There's big areas with nothing much of interest in them, but that's how open world exploration works. If it's nothing but set pieces crammed tightly together, you can't search for them.
The game's a bit thin on available rewards, though. Like, you climb the frozen mountain and lift the dragon's curse by shooting the demon cancer growing out of it, and what is your reward? One more ball you can trade for more health, same as you get for solving a simple puzzle in a shrine that wasn't even hidden. Because that's the only thing the game CAN give you, apparently.

>>384102543
I don't really need a reward for most of the stuff I'm doing in the game. It's not supposed to be a skinner box, it's a world to explore and experiment with.

>>384101357
This isn't wrong but pretending its game of the century is retarded. It's not hard to get perfect scores when you've been playing mediocre games with no free roam or physics based fun.

welcome to modern Nintendo

remember bayo 2 ? the name that the wii u drones would brought up every ten minutes to make sure you had heard about how well reviewed it was ?

Well less than 1 mil of them bought it world wide and nowadays barely anyone gives a damn about it.

Just look at their attitude against third parties; gameplay, video game in general has taken a backseat, its all about console war in their echo chamber.

Its ironic

>>384102543
>what is your reward? One more ball you can trade for more health

Earning a new Heart Piece is a major reward in any Zelda game. That's just how Zelda game roll.

>>384101357

What are you doing here anon? Pretending generic fetch quests are some kind of innovation?

>>384103386
The other zelda games have way cooler rewards, stuff as simple as extra bottles but cooler stuff as well like spells, masks and new items. The only thing that was a cool discovery in this game was the master sword, hylian shield and some of the armor pieces, I expected more for a game this large, there are smaller open world games that managed to cram in heaps of unique items that I was hoping this game would do, even though the rewards weren't that good it was still fun to explore, but it could have been better.

>>384103506
Nobody said they're innovative. They just disprove the ridiculous fallacy that the game has no content.

Not till Nintendo makes another console unfortunately. Was really hoping for something closer to the Zelda u tech demo.

There's 4 fucking spells in the game (based on the 4 spells from Zelda II) and theres more unique masks and armour than any other Zelda.

>>384103386
No, a piece of heart is a MINOR reward. A major reward is getting the hookshot, or the fire arrows.
And BotW DOES have shit like that. There's clothes, and unique weapons and shields. They could have given you SOMETHING for freeing that dragon, to make it feel like a proper accomplishment.

>>384104172

Nintendo has the best game mechanics and the worst game balancing
Its that simple


Imagine a breath of the wild where someone who actually knew how to balance games made it:
>Combat is actually challenging and rewards skill and creativity instead of being damage sponging
>Exploration rewards you with new mechanical abilities and unique items instead of just a piece of heart
>Food system actually gives you a reason to learn 50 different recipes and has varied unique effects, like super spicy chili that makes you breath fire
>No more menu-based gameplay during combat
>Physics damage actually scales into endgame
>Stats like shield strength and stamina actually matter in combat
>You don't become invulnerable during hit recovery / ragdoll
>Bosses aren't pushovers
>Enemies can swim and jump over terrain
>Armor uses % instead of +/- so you don't choose between dying in 1 hit or trivializing the game

I didn't read any of his post but botw had way more potential. It felt unfinished at certain points as if there was supposed to be more. Really hoping the next game doesn't feel the same.

>>384104971
I did not know kinda cool i guess.

>>384104384
>>384104489
Honestly they should have had more runes, and not given them to you all at the start of the game. Should have had more powers too. One major complaint people have with the game is the more time you put into the, the less fun it is, and that's simply because there is no progression at all apart from inventory space and stronger weapons and enemies. If you had gotten Stasis after, say, 10 hours, it would have been more impact-full and extended the lifespan of the game a lot longer.

>>384105094
Allegedly Zelda will be like this from now on, and allegedly Nintendo learned a lot from this one and intends to improve the formula.

Allegedly.

>>384105420
>allegedly
That's what everyone says. Now, Nintendo makes terrible business decisions but they do know how to make games. If they take the critique the game got and improve everything, that's fine. I hope they don't let the bs "10/10 best game ever!" reviews get to them. I want them to go above and beyond with the next titles.

I really think the hardware is holding them back. Nintendo should've held onto the switch and made an actual console instead. Then release the switch as a successor to the 3ds.

>>384102846
>It's not hard to get perfect scores when you've been playing mediocre games with no free roam or physics based fun.
this is probably the most logical post in the thread.
I love this game, but it's main merits are the methods of exploration, like climbing, paragliding and it's physics.
It is a great achievemnet in gaming, but has many flaws, most being graphical issues.
Hopefully, the next LoZ game, will take it back to better staples of the series, while keeping the depth and physics.
If anything, this game will be an inspiration to similar genre games for the foreseeable future.

>>384105420
>If you had gotten Stasis after, say, 10 hours, it would have been more impact-full and extended the lifespan of the game a lot longer.

Nintendo wanted to give the player all of the abilities right off the bat so they could go and play the entire game without any kind of restrictions or roadblocks.

I still feel like the game has plenty of player empowerment and progression. When I restarted the game in Master Mode I couldn't believe how underpowered you are initially.

>>384099285
I disagree, I enjoy that almost anywhere I go any random place there is likely to be a friendly little Korok to give me his seed.

>>384103506
There are like 3 things there that count as fetch quests (not counting the rushroom guy who's not on there), unless your definition is doing 1 thing for a person is a fetch quest aka any quest.

Why does the camera display its nameplate as Guardian Scout III when it's clearly a Guardian Scout II?

>>384105420
One thing I trust Nintendo to do is produce slightly improved iterations of an existing formula.

>>384105761
so there should have been more unlockable abilities that weren't necessary for progression
wheres the part of the game where I upgrade my cooking ability to rank 3 and unlock the ability to brew fizzy lifting drinks, a knockback+++ combat buff or a potion of time stop
wheres the kung fu master that trains link in unarmed combat

>>384105750
Agreed. While Zelda is my number 1 series, I won't give a free pass.
We've been playing mediocre games for the past 2-3 years with only a few gems sticking out. Botw was just a breath of fresh air for me. It was very enjoyable but it could've been so much more, I know it.

The lacking story kinda pissed me off actually. The ending was terrible and anyone that could defend it has shit taste period. Of course, people will day that's not the point of the game blah blah blah.

We essentially spend our time exploring, doing shrines/towers to get strong enough to beat Ganon. It's etched into our brain while still on the plateau that we're weak AF. It's really an open world sandbox collectathon.

There's a few more things that were weak for me but all in all the game is a solid 8 in my book.

>>384104146
Spells you get from the main quest (not exploration) and armor which has fairly boring effects, games like morrowind did it way better, like boots that give you super speed but blind your character, with botw its just damage up or something boring like that.

>>384105420
Nintendo has shown excellence at improving slightly every iteration of a formula, but sometimes they go back to their comfort zone to avoid experimenting (NSMB series, Kirby, Yoshi) but it seems they've really gotten an open world formula down, but balancing is hard since they've only done linear so far. They'll probably figure it out or be flat out told what to do by fans or other devs, but Nintendo tends to ignore them (not that they'd know better or anything).

Nintendo should take pointers from the king of open world games BETHESDA cause this game is a joke compared to Skyrim and Fallout 4

>>384106058
you don't know your guardian scouts

scout 1 has no middle segment or weapons and just shoots laser beams
scout 2 has a single weapon
scout 3 has two weapons and two wings off its head
scout 4 has three weapons and three wings off its head connected by a ridge

>>384106312
>We essentially spend our time exploring
thing i I can understand that the japs make games in a different way to western devs.
they start with themes, in concepts.
Having a theme in the essence of their development, and quite obviously the wild, loneliness in harsh terrains are their core theme.
Having massive cities would counteract what they were going for
I feel the next game in the series will either try to incorporate another vehicle into exploration, like SS/WW or they will go full on with massive castle town, kakariko etc.
Plus this is their first truly open world 3d zelda game, I feel they went about it very well.
The game has such charm that exploring is a comfy feel

>>384106535
Yeah, I just opened up the game and took a second look. I figured I and II were actually the same so that further models corresponded with the nubs on their heads.

>>384106665
We could hope what the next game will be like but the reality is that the switch is weak. Unless Nintendo busts out a new console in the next 5 years, expect the same game but with complete changes. Just imagine botw, with a revamp and a different map lol.

>>384106995
shit yeah i gather the next zelda will be switch exclusive too.
I dont want to buy a switch at all

>>384106995

Yeah because that's how Nintendo approach Zelda games. They're not completely unique and different from each other at all.

>>384101528
This. Got over 210h put to the game and story finished, yet imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a new quest in a town and a handful of Shrines.

I have also had several "you can do THAT??" moments when watching other people play it. Has also been a fascinating study on how many vastly different kind of players there are.

It is a Nintendo game. What did you expect? They haven't given a shit about any of their games for the games they release for the last ten years.

The game does give you instructions and they're readily available in your adventure log to check whenever you want. You're not walking around clueless with no idea what to do next.

BotW gives you the freedom to ensure every discovery is your own.

This is why botw was not a good open world game. You guys instantly equate scale = open world. That was your first mistake.

Except I am no equating scale with open world? Do you have reading comprehension problems? Sense of scale is important in open worlds to make the world feel grand and real.

I wonder if future open world games will try and copy BotW's open design and world building or if they'll just consider it too much hard work. Perhaps they'll just half-ass the climbing mechanic and think that's good enough.

>>384116305
You can be sure that Cyberpunk 2077 will have half assed climbing mechanics developed just enough so it can be marketing point and so they can say that their game is "just like Zelda".

>>384116276
If BotW is a 7/10 then every other game in the universe is a 3/10 desu.

>>384101318
>BotW is basically one huge ass blueprint for the true next step for Zelda
I thought the exact same thing too. the open world is really good and all but the actual meat of the game isn't there so I was still pretty bored throughout the nearly the whole thing
I can only hope the next game takes the open world and what I liked about the older Zeldas and merge them for a truly good package, but there is always the possibility that Nintendo didn't learn from this and they won't improve upon this

>>384116879
>meat isn't really there
I disagree thoroughly. I have no idea why this is parroted so much

>>384116946
It's because detractors desperate need (want) to find something to attack the game.

>>384116946
The meat hasn't been there since the first game.

>>384116946
Because I was never really looking forward for anything unlike every other Zelda game and that something for me are the dungeons
>but the shrines
They aren't really the same thing. I actually dreaded the idea of going through yet another shrine but I knew that I had to if I wanted more stamina and maybe life. I also didn't like that the majority of the shrines were just physics puzzles, I just find that annoying

>>384117071
Oh sorry, I forgot this is a botw thread and that means that thinking that the game isn't 11/10 is a grave crime

>>384117628
Oh so you didn't like physics puzzles, and thus claim the game has no meat simply you didn't like the taste of that meat

>>384117628
>Oh sorry, I forgot this is a botw thread and that means that thinking that the game isn't 11/10 is a grave crime

BotW has some of the issues which plague all open world game - difficulty balancing and enemy repetition for example.

But these are minor inevitable nitpicks of the genre and never come close to overshadowing the game as a whole.

Where BotW excels is in it's focus on player agency and world building.

And this is where most of the criticism fall apart. Because most people always focus on stupid nonsense and try to pull apart a singular aspect without ever acknowledging how all of the game's various systems and mechanics work together to create a gameplay experience which feels truly next level.

>>384117701
It felt very lacking to me overall AND I also don't like the flavor of physics puzzles.
Open world games just don't do it for me unless there is something I am actually looking forward to and I just didn't find it in this game

>>384117992
>Where BotW excels is in it's focus on player agency and world building.
That honestly tells me nothing

>never come close to overshadowing the game as a whole
It did for me. I just didn't find it as fun as the older games

>And this is where most of the criticism fall apart
Yeah yeah, no criticism zone. I get it

But they filled the map with cool stuff, unlike previous zelda games

It means the way the player interacts with the world is on a level of sophistication unparalleled in gaming. And achieves this while also being fun.

>>384118445
It felt lacking because you did not enjoy a large ass chunk of the game, so there you go!

>>384119105
What I mean is that I don't see what is so special about that or why it is supposedly good enough to carry the game

>on a level of sophistication unparalleled in gaming
The open world is pretty good for the usual standards but let's not get crazy here

>And achieves this while also being fun
Ehhh

Actually it was a method of making sure that no matter where players went they'd be able to find some seeds so they could upgrade their inventory. It's literally just thoughtful game design and Nintendo didn't hide a single valuable thing behind collecting them all on purpose.

>>384119551
It's not just about the overworld design. For example, the weather, the climate and the environment are all intricately connected with each other - informing the player's choices and, in turn, influencing how the player interacts with the world around them.

>B-But MGSV lets you burn grass too you know!

The difference being that none of BotW's core gameplay mechanics are bolted on top the engine. They ARE the engine. The entire game is founded on the core mechanics of player agency and interactivity and the rest of the game is bulit apon it.

Not the same anon, but I didn't like GTA IV much. After San Andreas, it was disappointing. All the cards handled like ass, and I can't remember a single character I liked. And mostly, the tone was much less whimsical, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but wasn't what I was expecting.

>>384120301
Yes, I know the world is very good and I completely agree on that but at the end of the day I still can't find it fun
Such things for me are nice details but not enough to carry the game, it just gets old after a while

>>384120697
Ok not everybody has to like everything. But you can at least throw the game a bone and admit that some of things going on are next level stuff. It makes other open world games seem quite archiac by comparison.

"The Master Trials" seems like one of those pre-order DLC collections (Void Walker's Arsenal, Columbia's finest)

>>384120946
>you can at least throw the game a bone and admit that some of things going on are next level stuff
I never completely discredited the game.
I always said the world was good and I'd probably say the best open world I've seen but it's more impressive on the technical aspect instead of the game aspect, that is why I said that I just want to put this world into a Zelda game that has more going on for it.
I feel that this game is sort of missing it's backbone, it's world isn't enough to support the whole game because in it's current state I just find myself bored by the game

>It makes other open world games seem quite archaic by comparison.
When comparing them strictly by their worlds and just their worlds, yes, I agree

>>384101357
>over 100 minibosses
this would be impressive if it wasnt in fact 4 minibosses copypasted EVERYWHERE with differents colors
This is a very short list of things to do considering the size of a world comparable with skyrim. Skyrim was mediocre and still had much much much more interesting things to do.
Most things in this list are stupid fetch quests or take like 5 min to complete

Dont get me wrong, I enjoyed botw a lot, but you gotta admit that the world is just empty

>>384122075
No I don't have to admit everything, as there is still something to do
