i've never played a zelda game before, but i just found a switch at walmart and decided to try it out for the hell of it. this right here is one of the best games of all time, as im a sucker for TECHNOLOGY

>>
>>385526909
well glad ya like it.
Yeah, BotW has clearly inherited Koji-bro's knack for small details & integrated, interactive systems.
Keep in mind that BotW is quite literally the "MGS5" of the Zelda series - with the exception being that this is actually very good and finished game. So don't expect the same degree of freedom in past games.
>>
>>385526909
It's not really technology, just attention to details but yes, BOTW's level of details is extreme.
>>
>>385527795
>BotW is quite literally the "MGS5" of the Zelda series
I don't get why people keep saying this, BotW is simply Zelda 1 realised in 3D more accurately after years of LttP/OoT clones.
>>
>>385527972
>I don't get why people keep saying this
I don't recall having to take out numerous enemy guard bases more or less stealthily in Zelda 1. Not to mention the endless crazy exploits and tricks you can pull out, that are quite on the same vein as MGSV in general.
>>

Nobody with a brain actually plays BotW like a stealth game though, it's a fucking Zelda game. It's easy enough to just walk into the camps and whack shit until it dies that stealth isn't even a necessity.

>>385528316
>Nobody with a brain actually plays BotW like a stealth game though
It's the most satisfying AND safest way to approach situations, especially in the beginning.

>It's easy enough to just walk into the camps and whack shit until it dies that stealth isn't even a necessity.
maybe after 200h with all-Royal Guard gear and 88 defense. Facing a single black Bokoblin or Moblin, not to mention a Lizalfos, while wearing nothing but worn clothes and Bokoblin gear ... yeah, you're not going to make it.

ya its great. until the honeymoon phase is over. Then you'll realize its major flaw, the great plateau is literal the entire game.

Cryonis really shined in the Waterblight Ganon fight. I'm on Master Quest now and cryonis is way more useful than I remember. I can cross any large body of water without a raft in a timely manner now. There's no reason to swim at all. Its range is nearly limitless too.

As someone who's played this game and all the Assassin's Creed game I think Assassin's Creed does open world better than Zelda Breath of The Wild.

In Zelda you can do much more than that

Really? Can I kill any NPC in the game? Can I dig underground at any point? Can I rip Link's arm off and use that as a makeshift weapon? Can I join Ganon and violently destroy the world?

No? Then you've not even reached the level of an indie game like Dwarf Fortress. So much for "interactivity."

If this were true, the Switch would have already outsold the Xbone in it's first five months.
More likely, this is just Nintendo doing artificial stock shortages akin to how they did it with the Wii, so that the Switch looks like it's selling much faster than it actually is.
This fact is further corroborated by looking at universal game and system sales for the Switch, which are actually miserable.

Video games don't need those things. Someone fell for the hollywood marketing I see. Literally, LITERALLY, all you need for a game is good gameplay. If you cannot nail that, your game does not deserve to exist.

I don't understand your issue here. Those posts talk exclusively about the gameplay and the game design. Not the graphics, story, music, sexualized characters and other gimmicks. The first post makes no mention of trap Link or BRAP posts about Zelda. Again, he sounds like a fag, and he does come off as very insulting, but fundamentally, he's still trying to discuss the gameplay, and so are the other posts I quoted. Gameplay discussion doesn't stop being gameplay discussion because it doesn't fit your arbitrary parameters of legitimacy. On a fundamental level, there are BoTW players right now talking about the gameplay and the actual game. That's enough to disprove your point.
>>
>>385538069
Unfortunately that;'s on you to prove. If they were talking about the game instead of spewing marketing buzzwords and lingo, they wouldn't bring console warring into it via shitposting. As it stands, every post that does not respect the """haters""" in this situation is not gameplay discussion at all. It's the work of redditors who want a hugbox without criticism or "wrongthink".
>>
>>385538313
not that anon, but the "haters" and "fanboys" in this case would both be in the wrong as they both desire a hugbox supporting their views, rather than discussion about the actual games. The only difference is whether they're talking of the game in a negative or positive light.
>>
>>385538705
I'm in that thread as a matter of fact, and the difference between me and a "hater" is that I don't mind people liking the game. I just get unnerved when people refuse any and all criticism and resort to console war shitposting.
>>
>>385538313
I did prove it. He used a lot of marketing buzzwords the first time around, yes, but that doesn't take away from the potential validity of what he's trying to say (and he does have a point based on the webms in this thread), or from the fact that it's a post discussing the gameplay. A post discussing the gameplay doesn't stop being a post discussing the gameplay because you don't like the terminology it uses or find it problematic. In fact, he and another anon even tried to explain it again using less pretension in a later post. The first quote still has buzzwords, but again, it's still a post discussing the game no matter how much you don't like the wording. Deeming certain gameplay discussion legitimate solely based on the diction it uses is creating the arbitrary parameters I speak of, and that's what I take an issue with.
>>385532329

>>385538823

He didn't say sonybro once so maybe all the console war faggotry is in your head. Sounds like you're projecting. And basically saying the game has been shitposted to hell by non specific people since its release is not console war anything. It's just true. It does not mean you can't properly criticise the game and discuss it.
>>
>>385539197
>>385539601
>but that doesn't take away from the potential validity of what he's trying to say
Oh, I'm afraid it does. He's using copypasted articles from kotaku and gamespot and cherrypicked webms to hide his console war shitposting, so I'm afraid not a single thing he says is valid. He doesn't even apologize for using the console war mentality of a 5 year old, so as far as I'm concerned, his words are nothing but dust in the wind.

And even if we carve out the console warring part of his post, he refuses to discuss these points with anyone in the thread. Someone responds to him, and they're immediately ignored and called an "autistic faggot". So it sounds like he doesn't want gameplay discussion. he just wants a circlejerk.

It doesn't in the context of disproving your argument. It doesn't matter where the info comes from, who's saying it, or what their intentions are. The fact of the matter is, there are posts that exist at this very second that are discussing the gameplay. He's bringing up points and other anons are trying to address or agree with his points, call him out on the validity of his viewpoints, get him to explain further, or put forward that the design philosophy has led to flaws in other areas compared to other games. That's what a discussion is. Again, the diction doesn't matter because, once more, there are posts right now discussing the game and not any of the other stuff from your original post. That's enough to dispute your argument.

>>385540450
>there are posts that exist at this very second that are discussing the gameplay.
I'm afraid you have to prove that. Just talking about it isn't enough. He has to prove that he believes it and isn't just being a console warring shitposter, which means he has to maintain discussion with it. We've had far too many blatant marketing threads as of late, so I'm no loonger considering such posts as valid gameplay discussion. They are marketers until they prove otherwise.

If you think that is unfair, then you are welcome to blame the 500,000 Zelda threads that have popped up since BOTW's release.

>I'm no longer considering such posts as valid gameplay discussion because marketers even though the posts are still discussing the gameplay
and we'll have to agree to disagree on that front. No matter the diction used or the intentions behind the posts or the lack of proof that he believes what he's saying, they are discussing the game design philosophy of Breath of the Wild and why it sets the game apart from open world games that came before it. That disputes your claim that they don't talk about the actual gameplay, and that's the end of it.

I'm sorry, but that proves absolutely nothing. They're doing nothing but jerking off Zelda, and then crying about "da evil trolls" whenever someone brings up other games. Shoot, someone attempted to claim how Zelda was good because it was so popular, and then when someone brought up that minecraft was even more popular, at least "150 million units sold" popular, they were called a faggot and an autist. How's that for gameplay discussion, hmm? If it's console warring, it's not gameplay discussion.
>>
>>385541504
If the content of your post was supposed to prove that there's console warring instead of gameplay discussion, you didn't present it well. The posts you mention are about the games, and not the consoles. Nobody's arguing that X console is better than Y console. The posts are discussing the gameplay. It doesn't matter if there is shitposting in that thread as well. There are posts discussing the gameplay, not the graphics, story, music, sexualized characters and other gimmicks. The existence of those posts, and especially the latter of the two posts I quoted at the end of
>>385539197
and the anon he's responding to are enough to disprove your argument that
>they don't talk about the game unless it's shitposting
Those two aren't shitposting, and they're talking about the gameplay. That's it.

Also, in general, console warring may be shitposting a lot of the time, but that doesn't mean there aren't serious discussions about which console is better in certain areas. To assume they don't exist is something that's very close-minded in nature.

But it does matter. If your "gameplay discussion" needs to have rampant shitposting following it, then it's not gameplay discussion. It's just bait. I've seen these posts before in many threads. The people behind them will never actually defend their points. They'll say "Zelda is innovative and it does XX mechanic, which no other game has ever done before". And then when someone brings up examples of other games doing it, they backtrack and say "NO, BUT THEY DON'T ALSO DO THIS AS WELL." And then they go back and say how X game is trash because it's not Zelda, and how all games that aren't Zelda should be culled because they don't have Nintendo's divine blessing. So I will not consider anything from them as gameplay discussion. They ruined their argument the moment they brought in console warring.

Except people haven't been saying this at all. For fucks sake, this thing was made long before its release even.

It doesn't matter because there are still posts in that thread that show that there are a few BotW players who are discussing the gameplay and the game design, like the sandbox aspects, the exploration, the boss fights, etc., without shitposting. Your argument was that "they don't," i.e. "they never do." But there are a few anons in that thread, like the two I just talked about, that tried to have their own little discussion about the game design, as shown by them replying to and addressing each other, amidst the whole "who has autism" debacle in that thread. The existence of those anons is enough to dispute that "never."

Until they can prove they're not marketers just spewing the same rhetoric over and over again, it's not legitimate gameplay discussion. It's spam. So my point still stands.Much like how Nintendo fans will claim that nobody likes Uncharted or Horizon or TLOU, and even if there are threads discussing them they'll say "that's not REAL discussion, it's just sony hiring marketers to shill their game." So I'm afraid you have to own up for that.

Again, they're not talking about the game. They're just parroting articles from kotaku and refusing to address criticisms and flaws in their arguments. So I refuse to count them as valid.

What kind of bullshit claim is this?
I feel like we're treading into tinfoil territory here. Can you claim that you're not a marketer yourself? How would I prove that I am not a marketer? Are our posts spam?

And I don't see people calling Uncharted, Horizon, or TLOU discussions nothing but spam and marketing either. Except for when it's obvious, like when that dude posted the Horizon vs Zelda comparison threads hailing Horizon as the Zelda killer, 2-4+ times a day for a total of about 400 threads prior to Horizon's launch. But that's not the norm for any of these games. And even then, that guy might have just been a stubborn shitposter.

It doesn't matter if they're marketers. Gameplay discussion is gameplay discussion, even if someone's trying to shill that gameplay. Your parameters don't stop those posts from being about BotW's gameplay. And if you're trying to imply that I'm a Nintendo fan, you're wrong. I do not have either a Nintendo or a Sony console. I was interested in the TECHNOLOGY this game had to offer, so I came into this thread, and I saw your original post, which I took issue to.

>>385545225
>Can you claim that you're not a marketer yourself?
Gladly. Any game I like is more than welcome for criticism. You can even say you hate the games I like. At most I'll respond with "I don't agree, but I see where you're coming from." Or if it's something I can prove, I'll bring up facts and statistics, like if the game has framerate issues, or if the game has DLC. A marketer will just call you a faggot and continue to herald their game as god's gift to the industry. And unfortunately, that's 99% of every single console warring thread that's ever existed.

>Except for when it's obvious, like when that dude posted the Horizon vs Zelda comparison threads hailing Horizon as the Zelda killer, 2-4+ times a day for a total of about 400 threads prior to Horizon's launch.
And you don't see the same thing happening with Zelda, with 20+ threads in the catalog at any given time? That's how I see all of these Zelda threads.

>Gameplay discussion is gameplay discussion
I'm sorry, I can't agree. If I detect the taint of a marketer, it stops being gameplay discussion and becomes a shill thread. Otherwise these same people wouldn't have a problem with critique regarding the game in question, instead of sperging out angrily at anything they deem as "wrong think".

But people have been doing this. And yet you just reduce their discussion as nothing as "marketing" and "spam".

>>385545840
>And you don't see the same thing happening with Zelda, with 20+ threads in the catalog at any given time?
Now that's hyperbole. I can admit that the "can we all agree x?" threads are suspect. But I really do believe that most threads are genuine. As do I believe that most threads about the aforementioned games from earlier are genuine too. Like, I am not denying that there are threads spammed by mindless shitposters and or marketers with no real intent to discuss the contents of the games. But I do not think it it's the majority. It'd be hard to convince me of that.
>>
>>385545840
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. Over the years I've become able to ignore or not give a shit about marketers because I prefer the unfiltered 4chan experience, because I see it as an inevitability of the nature of an anonymous imageboard, and because the marketer threads can provide a vehicle for those wanting to discuss the gameplay to do so. If I can find one guy in a console warring or shill thread who seems like he wants to discuss something, I will indulge, and then I will think that the thread had good discussion because of my own convo with that guy.

No, they haven't. Every time someone brought up a criticism, the so called level headed posters called them sony faggots and autists.

>But I really do believe that most threads are genuine.
See my above point. Where's the level headedness in the thread you've been linking to? I count no less than 5 posts in the last half hour that were literally just "this game will win awards, go fucking kill yourselves sonybros, haha nintendo wins again." Therefore I'm discarding any other posts that might've possibly discussed the gameplay. The shitposters have ruined it for you, I'm sorry. If you can't at least attempt to keep that filth out of your threads, then you're actively inviting it.

What? So because of shitposters you disregard everything else?

How can you not simply disregard all of 4chan then? I am not quite sure of the last time I saw a thread run to completion without shitposting or other bullshit.

>What? So because of shitposters you disregard everything else?
The sheer volume of shitposters and marketers will mean that I'm discarding any gameplay discussion that might've occurred, if only because I don't consider a toxic fanbase worth my time. If the more moderate posters cared, they would be calling out the shitposters, instead of encouraging them. Do you see those level headed posters you linked to? Do you see even a hint of them trying to call out the console war baiters and shitposters? No, they're not. They're serving the purpose of glorifying zelda, so why would they be called out? See, that's why I discard all of them.

>How can you not simply disregard all of 4chan then?
Because 4chan can, on occasion, have good threads. But the people within must exercise restraint and orderly function. If a shitposter appears, even if they're "on your side" you call them out for shitposting. If someone is posting porn, you report them. It doesn't matter if it's porn you like, it doesn't belong on this board.
