Is BotW the most visually interesting game of this gen?

Fuck no. Its got solid art direction muddied by shit hardware and some baffling asinine decision to vaseline up the whole fucking image no matter where you go.

Also the Switch is not current generation. Nintendo has removed themselves from the generation game. Either you accept that or you stick to what Nintendo themselves said about the Wii U and the Switch is technically the generation after the PS4/Boner. Either way it's not this gen.

>>384962673
I'd vote for bloodborne, or agony, but only 1 of them is an actual game

And they're both games from last gen hardware.

When will the current gen compare?

>>384962935
This. Breath of the Wind has awful visuals every way you look at it. The art style is clearly used so that the game has an excuse for looking as bad as it does. People will look back on it in a few years and think "what the hell were we smoking" just like they did with Skyward Sword.

>>384962673
Yes

>>384962673


I'd dare say that the length to which Nintendo optimized the game to save the games performance is the most impressive part, even if it chugs are some points anyways.

nah, that title goes to persona 5 hands down

>>384963398

Persona 5 or bloodborne and I would argue there isn't another game that comes close to those two

>>384967059
Pretty confident this part doesn't look this good in-game, and I adore Bloodborne's art direction and the game itself.

I read some article where this guy was so happy that his kid had just been going to town on BotW for the past two weeks. He was like seven or eight and had been holing up in different parts of the house playing it on the Switch and just having a great time. After a few weeks he was telling his dad about it and said something like "..and then I got a parachute and flew off the island I had been on the whole time! Do you think there's much of the game left?"

Cute as fuck and makes me wish I enjoyed video games like I did as a kid.

You have it ass-backwards my dude. Skyward Sword looked abysmal on release and it was an eyesore compared to other things being played around that time, but the Wii's native resolution was at fault.

Turns out that the art style of Skyward Sword might be the only good thing about it, and it looks beautiful when upscaled in emulators. Breath of the Wild, though held back by the hardware it's on like Skyward sword, still features a beautiful art style and outstanding vistas once you dig into the game.

I don't like to be all >dude weed lmao but I took acid and played BotW all night and it was the most beautiful gaming experience I've ever had. Every location was so engaging and amazing to explore. I spent hours and hours hiking up through the Hebra Mountains, found Selmie and learned about shield surfing, stumbled upon the Northern labyrinth and managed to solve it, fought a Lynel under a blood moon, discovered the Lost Woods and more.

>tfw you jump off the peak of the Hebra and land on top of a smaller mountain, overlooking central Hyrule and one of the dragons flying through the canyon

This is true. I gave my 9 year old cousin this for his birthday.
He's never played a Zelda game, or anything more complicated than Mario before, and now he has been playing BotW non-stop

>>384968830
Accounting for inflation, the NES costed $480 USD, and the N64 would have been around $300 in 2016 USD. Modern consoles are very reasonably priced.

>>384970705
And new games cost a shit ton back then too.
Nearly everyone I know rented many of their games.

I hate to be that guy, but because it was 720p, I had a hard time seeing some animals and the flora looked choppy. It's basically the same problems Red Dead Redemption had. In terms of design though, it was great.

I think Dragon Quest XI will do what BotW tried to do, but in full 1080p and a more clean style. Hopefully the next Zelda can improve on that again, but I wonder given the Switch resolution.

I'm still amazed how playable BotW is on cemu
I just got it running today and was expecting a shitshow, but instead I got something that's more stable and polished than some AAA PC ports. I mean literally, in another universe, this is the same experience that Nintendo dumped onto PC and is selling

If I weren't currently doing a master mode run on my Switch I'd probably legitimately play it even. Thinking of doing a normal mode rush to fully unlocked master sword and just raping the game with only the master sword + phantom armor

you know, I actually would have preferred if Nintendo introduced breath of the WIld as an entirely new IP. The game is great and all but the "Zelda" aesthetic, for me, holds it back.

Just because it broke off of twenty years of the same rehashed shit doesn't make it superior to all the games (and there are a lot) that evolved in the meantime. This applies to gameplay as well, daddy Nintendo innovated for the first time since the franchise began and everybody's losing their minds, even though the game is only on a ~2005 level.

>>384972426

I'd prefer that too. I like Zelda but I'm not really a fan of this new direction, at least not if they're gonna keep up such a shit dungeon game.

This post is the epitome of clueless. If you want to be taken seriously, I bet you could show me a game that plays like BOTW with the same sense of scale, similar world mechanics, and that level of unparalleled freedom and non-linearity. You can, can't you? Since the game is so unimpressive and all.

No, the game felt almost unfinished in its variety of areas. The exclusion of an ice temple or anything really good in the snowy areas is an example of the blandness that permeates throughout the entire game.

Not that guy, and I love BotW, but the game is basically a combination of the good things all other open world games did before it. It takes bits and pieces of RDR, Skyrim, Dragon Quest, Xenoblade and a dozen other games. Refines them some and then puts them into a Zelda world.

BotW is amazing not because the concepts used in the game were unique. But because it refined them so well and put them all into one game. But more importantly, because it did what Zelda should have been doing for the last 15 years. BotW is basically what Wind Waker and Skyward Sword should have been. Which Aonouma himself said in interviews. And even saying that, the next Zelda could do a lot more. Like full dungeons, more overworld mazes, better NPC dialogue and no fucking cinematics.

Similarly to BOTW, GR2 had a rather limited amount of areas too. BOTW is overall a much more pleasant treat for the eyes.

>>384973783
The game was fun but it's not even a quarter as good as you're making it sound. The next Zelda will most likely be even worse because kids didn't really like BOTW and it was a pretty forgettable game among us adults.

Is this guy a legit marketer or something? BoTWs open world was legit garbage

You can list pad me a bunch of shit all you want and make them seem grander than they were but i've played the game and it's literally only fun for 10 hours.

Once you realize that the vast majority of side quests are fetch quests, that the enemy variety is a legit joke (blue mokoblins, red mokoblins WHITE MOKOBLINS, LOL), virtually every fucking shrine is 2~ minute long with the most braindead puzzle in existence (literally only remember the star shrine) and the combat somehow manages to be worse than even the Witcher 3s and yea, it's straight mediocrity's incarnate.

It's essentially Nintendos MGSV. A great foundation with a great engine mixed in with the most mediocre and bland content imaginable.

But go ahead, convince yourself that collecting 900 pieces of tree poop was fun

I don't really agree. I do think the series stagnated a bit and that BotW is (kill me) a breath of fresh air, but I wouldn't want every Zelda game to be like BotW. There's a lot to be said for the tight pacing of a game like A Link to the Past.

>>384974396
the game loses steam after ~50 hours because the quests aren't good, but the actual world exploration (climbing stuff, navigating the landscape) is 10/10

>>384974637

>There's a lot to be said for the tight pacing of a game like A Link to the Past.
But none of the 3D games after Ocarina had that tight pacing. They were all story driven games with linear progression. BotW went back to the total free roaming of the first Zelda, which is what Zelda should have been doing. LttP has a little story, but it still lets you explore the world freely. And that's what Zelda should be.

>>384974689

>but the actual world exploration (climbing stuff, navigating the landscape) is 10/10

But it's not because literally 99% of the shit to find is shrine bait?

That's the fun in exploring. "Finding cool shit".

Even the fucking dragon thing that I found turned out to be nothing more than fucking shrine bait.

Open world games are NOTHING without good side quests. Want to prove me wrong? Well name me a "good open world game" with "shit tier side quests"

I don't disagree with that. I'm just saying I don't think all Zelda games need to pattern themselves after Breath of the Wild, and I hope they don't.

I understand this comparison, and they are similar in that respect, but it's a little misleading. The original game has pretty different priorities from BotW.

And your opinion doesn't rule over the majority.

Facts are facts, far more Zelda games have followed the traditional formula relative to the first game so based on that fact alone, OoT, MM, WW etc are very much what "Zelda should be like".

http://www.gamesradar.com/were-all-talking-about-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-developers-explain-how-its-shaping-the-future-of-games

Damien Monnier served as senior designer on The Witcher 3 at CD Projekt RED
>Breath of the Wild has managed to bring classic open world mechanics together while not relying on them to guide the player through its world. You go and explore it because you wonder what's out there, not because a loot icon tells you to.
>Nintendo have raised the bar when it comes to world crafting and this sense of total immersion I get when I play it. While its world includes classic open-world activities, collectibles and loot-filled mobs, it definitely doesn't feel overloaded and allows the focus be on the exploration. You want to explore this land whether or not you are on a quest, or being tasked to collect/gather something. You know, If you were to remove all NPCs, quests and mobs, I would still take pleasure in exploring that beautiful world.

Let's take a moment to laugh at how utterly pointless userscores are, especially when BotW was flooded with salty immature sonykiddies who couldn't stomach the over-whelmingly positive response to the game. Around 25% of the scores were 0/10 at one point.

So you did make that quote up?

Why would you make it up if you were confident in what you were saying, Nintenshill?

Better user score
Much more awards
Much more sales

It wins on virtually every metric.

>>384976487

>Facts are facts, far more Zelda games have followed the traditional formula relative to the first game so based on that fact alone
Almost no games followed the formula of Zelda 1 except Zelda 2 and BotW.

>OoT, MM, WW etc are very much what "Zelda should be like".
By your logic, all the Star Wars prequels and the upcoming fifty dozen Disney movies we're about to get should be "what Star Wars should be like", simply because they will outnumber the original trilogy. But almost no one will agree with that. Zelda is a little different since the 'majority' of people started the series with the 3D games. But still, even a lot of those people were growing tired of the Ocarina formula, which is exactly what Aonouma and Miyamoto pointed out in interviews. And why they made BotW go back to the series roots. To great success. Clearly people like the change. Oh wait, you're probably that same idiot above who thinks no one is allowed to like BotW.

>>384976860
>Why? Because you can climb and glide? BOTW has nothing else.

I have had enough of you people.

Be glad to not see the fury in my eyes, you will know that this is no game to me... Not making any threats. I am saying I am really really motivated to disprove everything you type. You see I can convert anger energy into intellectual energy. You probably can not comprehend what I am speaking of because you dismiss emotion as juvenile for "Nintendo kiddies" but through my perseverance and power of emotion. I am able to analyze situations & make my opponent look ridiculous.
So yeah feel my power radiate through my text and witness some schooling that will be studied through the ages. Nintendo is not just a company, it is a family, & treats there customers as if they were blood. The old maturity clause, why am I not surprised. I just explained my anger is allowing me to organize my thoughts & excel. I am a proud fan of Nintendo & that does not make me biased.
Nintendo is unique in that they provide excellent quality in their consumer electronics to customers. They also provide stellar customer service. Something haters neglect and tell me PS4 & Xbox are equally as good? **** no, they treat their consumers like mindless zombies & rip them off wherever & whenever they can in the name of capitalism.
Why am I not surprised that you pull out the maturity clause against me? Let me tell you something real maturity is not caring what other people think regarding the media you select to enjoy. There is an old saying that a bunch of kids play call of duty while the grown ups end up playing pokemon this reigns true. You see there is much more to maturity than the letter on the box.
So as you have seen my emotion helps me channel energy that you would seem to be afraid of. Haha. I'm sure you want me to "chill" now? Seems like someone is afraid of my growing power, Nintendo's growing power, and all of the other Nintendo fans growing in power as Nintendo gives us more and more reasons to support their excellent company.
Eat it, fangirl.

BotW doesn't really follow Zelda 1's formula either, it's just open in a way reminiscent of it. The original game has a much bigger emphasis on dungeons, not unlike ALttP or OoT after it despite their increased linearity.

Not autistic but I must admit I am attached to the switch in a more than superficial way.

It is truly the first Nintendo console I don't play for the games alone for over 15 years. I play because I LOVE the hardware. When I stand next to it after getting dressed, I like to pick up my joy-cons, feel them in my hands, maybe put them onto the Switch, pull it out and feel it in my hands. Maybe switch it on, look at my ever growing library of games (that is most certainly already bigger than in WiiU's entire first year ). It's not like the Gamepad or the Wiimote's wonky motion controls that always made my gaming experiences a tad uncomfortable.
I don't care if the first year is mostly ports as long as I can play them on a console I actually really like. Same goes for Nindies. And I can't wait to play SNES and N64 games on it. I, as a personal sentiment, don't need AAA titles that look graphically so realistic they all look the same.
Finally, I realized that Switch is Nintendo's first non-gimmick since GameCube. Instead of changing how we play, the Switch changes where and when we can play and this is something that differentiates Nintendo from PS4 & Xbox who think putting even more chest hair on an NPC would make a game better.
My anger gets the better of me sometimes but I will calm down.

Please let me elaborate more on what the console means to me as I am afraid you don't understand.
Yesterday evening, I was playing Mario Kart. It suddenly struck me that I am playing a console grade game on frickin handheld. I mean, look at 3DS and now this! I was so overjoyed by such a miniscule and old realization that I couldn't hold it in, I had tell my girlfriend who was watching tv of how amazing I think this console is.
I am not autistic I am passionate and my passionation some times comes across as autstication.
Whatever though. Think what you will.
Game on as they say, haha

Can anyone here name a single other game with a chemistry engine so fine-tuned that you can light grass on fire, have that fire kill a wolf, which drops meat, take the meat, proceed to take out wood and drop it on the fire, have it catch alight with a campfire, then let that fire persist and warm up your temperature, then put a piece of meat next to it and have it dynamically change state into a cooked piece of meat that you can eat to recover even more health than it would have normally?

Nice job though, trying to hand wave that and make the game look shit because muh Witcher 3. BotW has a living, breathing world. Its map size is only part of it, more important are the environmental, climate-influenced and chemical interactions that make it come alive. Who the fuck cares if your generic levelling RPG number 502251 has a bigger or is "better on metrics" (whatever that means)? I doubt you can name a single more in-depth game released in the last 5 years, let alone this year.

>>384978871
>Funny how anyone that criticizes Botw on here can't come up with a valid argument as to why it's bad.
They do, you just don't want to acknowledge it. There is absolutely nothing anyone can say that would make you believe there is a single thing wrong with BotW, but that won't change the fact that it's a pretty uninspired, simple game that caters to the lowest common denominator crowd. It's the japanese equivalent of a AAA game, a blockbuster that plays it safe, carefully constructed to maximize sales without taking any risks.

Fair enough. I guess I should say BotW followed Zelda 1 in having total freedom. Which only Zelda 2 had done. It was similar in the overworld, but not the underworld segments.

Hopefully the next Zelda game can have the same massive overworld, but just have real dungeons/temples as well. Though if I'm totally honest, the dungeons are not really my favorite part of Zelda. I would even say a Zelda game doesn't need them, as heretical as that is. I'd be happy if we just had a lot more overworld areas that were mazes or required combat skill to pass. And maybe some underground segments like the temples in Zelda 2, which focus more on combat and endurance over puzzles. Imagine of BotW had underground pathways that allowed you to warp from one end of the map to another (like the warp system in Zelda 1). But instead of just instantly teleporting you, you had to navigate a long hallway of hard enemies to get to the end. Then after you clear all the enemies, the enemies don't spawn any other time you try to use the path. Of course, this becomes pointless since BotW has a warp function.

Also having dynamic rain fill various pieces of land with water. It can rain, come back to an open are and have there be a puddle. The puddle you can then interact with in various ways. Fire creates up wind currents you can use to sweep things into the air or move up yourself.

Metallic weapons can conduct electricity. I remember one puzzle where you could lay out your weapons on the ground and create your own ground electrical current.

These are just a few.

>Side quests
Are for the most part, extremely mediocre and almost exclusively fetch quests/shrine bait. Take the only two widely accepted good side quests. Tarry Town and Evantide Island

Tarry Town is nothing but fetch quest bait and Eventide Island is essentially the Great Plateau but far worse and much shorter. No story, no interesting characters, no cool loot (another fucking shrine) nothing but more of what you had already been doing the past 20~ hours leading up to you finding that quest which essentially is, collecting shit and fighting the same reskinned enemies.

>Story
Does it even need to be argued? It's typical Zelda "save duh world" shit.

>Shrines
2~ minute long sections that have 1~ puzzle to solve that didn't even trouble DSP. The only memorable shrine was that star one

>Dungeons
Interesting in design but gameplay wise, they fall flat as fuck. They're essentially, "slightly longer shrines" with a boss fight at the end.

>Combat
Somehow, Nintendo made a worse combat system than Witcher 3. Flurry rush completely breaks the game and entirely trivialises the only "somewhat" hard enemies with the Lynels.

>Open world
Fun for the first 10 hours (literally the only good thing in the game) but once you realize that there's fucking NOTHING to find outside of the same reskinned enemies ("Oh, a Frost bat!" "Oh, a lightning bat!", "Oh, a frost Lizard", "Oh, a fire Lizard!", "Oh, a white Mokoblin!", "Oh, a red Mokoblin!"), another fucking shrine or literal TREE POOP, you quickly get bored and lose all motivation to explore.

Before I get called a Sonyegro, here's a picture I made in game via fraps.

The game is essentially Just Cause 2 and MGSV tier. A great engine/foundation with absolute shit tier content and disgustingly repetitive game design.

I would trade every single "WOAH, LOOK AT HOW FUCKING CUHRAAAAAZY THIS IS" moment for some actual fucking good side quests.

>>384979330
Open world is popular. That's why its not a risk. They just shamelessly slapped their IP on a SANDBOX game (zelda has always been open world) because that is what guaranteed sales.

This is what makes it a bad game. The actual world itself is good. How you explore is interesting. But there's no reason. Your rewards for exploring are one of two things. A tree nugget or a spirit nugget. Both of which are pretty useless once you figure out how to move around without stamina and it's one of the first zeldas where even the inept can go around with 3 hearts.

These BotW bashing threads reminds me of the old Red Dead Redemption threads. People throwing out the dumbest complaints about the game like "It has shit all for side content!" and then someone would make a list of the hunts, gambling, horse wrangling, bandit hideouts, bounty hunting, quick draw, rank challenges and etc you could do.

BotW has a similar list of stuff. In fact, it has a lot more.

>>384976975
This will never not piss me off; when they first announced this product and show the gameplay, the game seemed so varied and visceral; the animations and general TECHNOLOGY seemed so over the top, that it was amazing to see it in action. And then when it was released, it had this pretty interesting story (for a video game), but the gameplay was just so shit and repetitive, along with some poor level design, just killed it. Plus the AI partner being mentally challenged didn't help and the tacked on online mode.

>>384979121
>simple game that caters to the lowest common denominator crowd.
And here we have the crux of why you show up in every thread.

You know it's a good game. You know it's going to be one of the best games this year. You don't hate it because you think it's bad.

You hate it because you need to assert that you are better than people who like it, due to your own insecurities over having achieved nothing in your life. You need to feel you are better than the "lowest common denominator crowd".

Not the guy you're responding to but I would like to have a dialogue about this because I agree with everything he said and Zelda is a pretty damn mediocre game imo.

>One thing I appropriated a bout the side quests were that they forced you to think for yourself. No glowing trail or giant marker showing you where to go and exactly where to go.
But that's more of a positive with the actual game philosophy as opposed to the actual side quests being good.
>The amount of freedom they give you to solve puzzles is appreciated.
I'll concede that, still thought the shrines/dungeons suffered because of it. Here's hoping they improve on this with the next installment

>played the game for like 70 hours
>truly enjoyed it but cant really keep playing
>/v/ praises it like its god sent

I honestly would rank it at least as second or third best Zelda.
They made a massive world but sacrificed a lot of elements that makes zelda "Zelda".
Like theres so many characters now that none of them are really memorable. And the huge lack of cutscenes and plot really made a difference.
I wanted shit like finding out Sheik is Zelda, or fighting Dark Link as a boss, or the fear of the moon falling in three days, or traveling through light and dark realms, or travel in time, change seasons, etc.
In BoTF its just a bunch of samey shrines, a huge map, and you can climb straight walls. Thats it.

Anyone comparing ALTTP to BOTW is blind. There are no dungeons comparable in scale in BOTW when there is one at all. Oot and MM weren't completely linear and had more substantial points of interest, you could also complete the dungeons in any order in Oot. Item finding in those games and TWW was fun and offered some variety beyond needing something for one thing. The games were interesting until after the Minish Cap and then it was fucked, TWW was kind of weak but it was fun at least. At TP the series became a train wreck. The one good thing I can say about BOTW is It's TLOZ with 'member this moments. I honestly think stocking inventory with food and drink and being able to change into a million shitty armies with a million shitty weapons like WRPGs doesn't work here. There's nothing to do. There's only one thing you really have to do. take it as a TLOZ clone but stop getting like "When they brought in Shadow The Hedgehog that was by far the highlight of the series don't steal my originel artwork" about it

Witcher 3s builds, two dodge mechanics make its combat system objectively more in depth than Zeldas.

flurry rush doesn't work against their slam attack due to the huge radius from the explosion. Witcher 3's hitboxes are broken beyond belief, I'd post that webm if I had it on me; BotW uses its physics engine for a lot of its combat, so I'd argue that it has far more depth than W3's more traditional combat style.
