You're still mad because BotW has better, more interesting and intuitive game design in one single fucking room than ALL his Sony, From Shit and Ubicancer open world games in their entirety.

so this means it's just objectively bad? every open world game is just bad and there's no room for debate?

No. It's a great proof of the fact that it's not the individual, superficial details that matter, BUT how you implement and utilize them.

If you list features merely found in the game, BotW starts to sound very much like SH: Downpour, which was fucking awful. But BotW is not, because Nintendo re-designed most elements and plain out ignored some other traditions, just to provide a superb experience.

>>387494197
I've played a fair share of Ubi-shit, and BotW's literally nothing alike. It's like comparing DooM to CoD.

>>387494440
I bought the amiibos because I collect Zelda merchandise, as it's by far my favorite ip, I never even scanned any of them, they're all still in the package

idk if it was a widespread thing, but I actually got a preorder for the expansion pass for free at my gamestop because I preordered a switch and botw collectors edition

I bought a used wii u for BOTW. I'm pretty disappointed. at least I modded it so I didn't pay for any of the games. it's good for playing pikmin, mario kart and woolly world with my girl but that's about it. actually, the virtual console is pretty great too. still

Meanwhile in almost every OTHER source, they plain out stated that they took a lot of inspiration from stuff like Witcher and Minecraft.

And again, taking inspiration = copying to the bone. It's the whole "linear games are BAD!" argument all over again; naive, shallow and ignoring all the finer details and nuances.

>>387494805
>I bought a used wii u for BOTW. I'm pretty disappointed.
I did the same as well couple months ago, and I am glad I did. 220 hours to BotW alone so far.
Helps that it doubles as a real deal Wii as well, which I never had. Finally got around playing Skyward Sword and Shattered Memories, both which were great.

I doubt an average Nintendoos do, but the literal, casual "normies", all thanks to their "proven health benefits".
Many elder care homes and such have literally bought NDS consoles and Brain Training games to help old folks fight Dementia and stay entertained.

Meanwhile, the core-Nintendo audience was already complaining about the shift to casual markets when Wii arrived, and it didn't really get proper "HC games" before very late to its lifespan.

It's the most polished formulaic open world game; it's very streamlined.

It's also too streamlined. The cities are empty and all of the cool setpieces are variations of the core game play.

The dumb thing is they push "organic" exploration only to reward it with a trip to Game Developer World (shrines).

>>387494038
>Huge brand
What

>>387495603
The cities aren't empty, but they could be more populated. I personally did not mind the cities or the shrines

post botw Zelda shitting

>>387495690
Empty is an exaggeration, but modern open world games have nicer, denser cities to screw around in. Tbh, I think many past Zelda games pulled off cities better, especially Majora's Mask with Clock Town.

Couldn't get into it. Felt bad since my brother gifted me the game, and I have enjoyed Zelda all the way to Twilight Princess. I don't know what it was, I had fun, the enemy A.I. was great, the physics were hilarious, and a lot of the little puzzles strewn around the overworld and in the shrines were smart at the best of times.

But for some reason, I got bored. Got halfway through the game, and haven't played since. I think my two biggest gripes:

>Repetitive combat (mash side-step/back flip to win)
and
>Overworld, despite having some cute things to find, is overall fucking empty.

Not a single soul to talk to out in the world apart from towns, and even then, the NPCs dialogue seems less meaningful than in previous installments.

I felt like I was in Pyongyang, N.Korea, where everything looks nice, but it's all a front to cover up something more grave.

This is what you, many developers and managers don't understand: it's not about what boxes the game ticks. It's about how it feels when you play that.

You can have two games that play completely differently yet be identical according to checklists like this.

>>387495836
I think they forgot to spam more NPCs. Goron town was empty although I quite liked the NPCs there. I want to interact with more of them, you feel me? I like how the NPCs appear to have some sort of schedule they follow, makes them almost MM-like. Hope they can push larger towns on the next console, I have a feeling hardware limitations is part of it.

>>387494197

You can't possibly mean wearing for temperature right? OoT had that.

>>387495848
I mean if you got past TP's repetitive combat I have no idea why you can't get past this one. Even when you unlock moves it's often more inconvenient to use them.

NPCs are weaker than past zeldas, yeah, but I think the writing is better than all the zeldas after WW

If you don't like shrines the overworld will feel empty, that's a definite problem.

>>387495603
>The cities are empty
The hell? Having dozens of unique, named NPCs with implied personalities and daily schedules is now somehow "empty"?

You also seem to have misunderstood the point of the exploration. Sure, the Shrines are sort of practical carrots to hunt, but just exploring and discovering places and their nonverbal, environmental stories is fun as hell.

Watching the dragons float by at night never gets old, it is just breathtakingly beautiful.

>>387494038
People praise it because it's a Zelda game. If it wasn't made by Nintendo /v/ would hate it.
The game itself is decent, but severely overrated.

>>387495848
If you like the shrines you basically like 90% of the game, if you find the combat repetitive try using runes or just avoiding it altogether. Since you like the shrines you should probably just go back to do them.

Also are you paragliding or walking? The world feels enormous when walking and just the right size if you ride a horse. Paragliding can make the world feel downright small

Not him, but I don't get it; what has the shrines have to do with the world? If anything, they're nice distractions from constant combat and adventuring.
I can't even begin to understand how the Botw's world could be considered "empty".

>>387496107

I don't know if you don't like much the content the world offers and avoid it you would think the world is empty.

I actually never really got it either, the world of BotW is just so fucking great to be in. Wandering around watching the clouds move feels so great. Sometimes I just boot the game up and run around a area doing whatever that comes in my way. Playing at 4K native might have something to do with it though

Eh, not all of them.

For example, i don't think that ANYONE will defend just how fucking underwhelming and shitty all the side quests in the game are. "Collect 55 Rushrooms"

Also, the games combat is designed around the idea that you're constantly going to switch weapons so you can't just find 1 weapon and use it the whole game, but then why the fuck do all 1 hand weapons share the exact same fucking moveset. Same with 2handers. Could've done a lot of interesting things with this.

Furthermore i think that the game embraces the idea of "the journey is more important than the destination" a bit too much, as i can't help but be extremely disappointed when i climbd the fucking PEAK OF AWAKENING only to find another shitty Korok seed on top.

It may be all those things, but of the gameplay elements you listed it does them well, and the story is a work of gnostic/alchemical genius that will initiate those with eyes to see and ears to hear, and it will prime the minds of those who are not ready for the deeper truths to be able to receive them.

That's what I'm saying. It's amazing to have some places to simply... be there. Then have a random shooting star or dragon bring up a little spice to the scenery and create what'd make a great painting or photograph.

>Playing at 4K native might have something to do with it though
I played on WiiU, meaning forced 720p, but it sure as hell didn't reduce my enjoyment at all, even when playing on a 40" 1080p LED TV. I did often use headphones (via the Tablet's jack), as it obviously helps immersion a ton, but just my cheapo 2.1 sound system did the game fine justice.

People are trying to conflate the existence of things like towers to call it Ubisoft game, the only problem is that Breath of the Wild takes a more "holistic" approach to it's open world, it isn't just a space where missions and collectables are dotted around, or one that hands these locations to you on a map and gets you to make a bee line to them, the open world is the gameplay and exploring the world itself is an engaging activity, something that almost all other open worlds seem to just not get.

The Sonic Mania Switch version was developed by both an external development studio and an australian one, the Switch's hardware is not at fault for such a simplistic game having framedrops in 3d sections. Also the hardware is both semi generic, and well documented.

BoTW is okay. Not the greatest 3D Zelda I've played, but it's pretty good.

Amazing. Such pure assblast. This sony negro is seething

>>387494038
The whole thing just feels empty/soulless, I get strong MGSV vibe from it.

I'm just going to say it now, I enjoy anti Switch shitposting, it makes the Switch's success as a platform all the more delicious.

>>387498029
what's new after 10 hours? More pallet swapped enemies? More samey shrines? More pathetically small "dungeons" sharing the same gimmick and aesthetics? There are not even any new items because you get given all 4 (lol) of them at the very start

>>387494038
OP I wholeheartedly agree with you but this board has gone to shit with the large influx of newshits this year that think everybody who doesn't like Nintendo likes shity Sony.

>>387494038
No, it's only Nintendo which gets the "it's okay when Nintendo does it" treatment from reviewers and fans.
Other companies don't get the same treatment, and actually have to try to reach good scores.
I think BotW's 9.8 despite its shitty performance on release is good enough proof of this.

>>387498379
no matter how much you do this, it won't convince anyone that has actually played the game that they didn't get over a hundred hours of content out of it.
you're fighting a losing battle.

>>387498525
>it won't convince anyone that has actually played the game that they didn't get over a hundred hours of content out of it.

10 hours of content repeated for 100 hours.

The first Zelda back in the 80s was an Open World.
Gosh people are retarded these days.

>>387498842
I've played it. Endgame is endless repetition of the small selection of enemies you fought in the early game (but white instead of red), shrines all look the same and many are copy paste, hell the game's structure is even repetitive (go to region, climb ubisoft tower, do divine beast, fight copypaste blight ganon)

solid 6.5/10

>>387499012
Is this the latest astroturfing spiel?

>>387498959

What color is Lurelin wearing? Anybody who played BOTW knows.

Also sasuga anon, reporting me because you are butthurt about BOTW? Bad form.

>>387494197
It plays nothing like a Ubisoft game. In Assassin's Creed you climb up a tower and dozens of icons that say "Side-quest", "shop", etc. pop up on your map. In Zelda you climb up a tower so you have a good vantage point to look for interesting terrain formations, shrines, enemy bases, NPCs, towns, etc. then you place a waypoint there and start walking.

>>387494698
Oh fuck, I forgot that Skyrim and W3 we're Ubisoft games!

>>387498525
I played it for about 60 hours. But I was getting increasingly bored as my playtime increased. Eventually I stopped caring about the shrines, I'd maxed out my stamina and didn't really need any more hearts. Some of the shrines were genuinely clever but there were way to many easy as shit ones or combat ones.
Exploring became pointless because no matter how cool a ruin or something looks theres nothing interesting to do there apart from maybe a korok puzzle or yet another shrine. And the sidequests were all worthless

>>387498992
It had a purpose in the 80s, and the layout worked to its advantage. Filling your boring, rehashed, underdeveloped, fictional kingdom with so much empty space with no challenge or fun that leads to standard locales of no interest, you've fucked up.
1986's dungeons, as boring as they might seem today, were something else 30 years ago. Every frame had enemies, you actually had no idea where to go (as opposed to BotW, which has a tutorial and markers leading you every little thing besides Shrine Quests), and it was an inspired and original work for the time.
BotW is just dead space (not the game, which is actually decent), no challenge, shit combat (if you choose to partake in it), a nonsensical plot and lore, reused world and locations filled with one-not characters, Half-Life 2 puzzles with zero innovation or originality and about 200% more overused, and horrible level (dungeon) design that practically gets reused 4x over IN THE SAME GAME.

It's fucking pathetic. The only creative spark in BotW's production was the score and conceptual art. BotW as a game is duller than No Man's Sky. Get fuckin' Sean Murray to direct BotW 2. At least in "Survival" mode there is actual inventory and resource management, as opposed to BotW's infinite unbalanced food. Fucking retarded ass game design on all accounts, right down to the obnoxious autosave and flurry rush.

It's only praised because it's the first 3D Zelda to have a fully open world and open progression.
I find it funny the biggest criticism of Skyward Sword was repetitive reuse of areas when this game dials that up to 10 with simple repetitive shrine puzzles.

I like BotW but god damn it is overrated to fuck.

>>387499510
Wew lad easy on the shitpost anon

>>387499725
Already am, thanks anon! Seriously though great effort.

>>387499725
Same to you.

all shrines boil down to either

>just fight a strong enemy
>simple physics puzzle using one of only 4 items in the game
>outright given the orb without any sort of challenge

this gets boring after 30 or so shrines desu

>>387499910
not true.

That's untrue though. Most thrones require 2 runes or more

I asked a shitposting sonyglet a basic game question that anybody who actually played the game would know and got deafening silence. Why don't you answer yourself , anon? You ACTUALLY played the game, didn't you

Not really.

>Ubisoft tower show everything to do on the map and put obnoxious markers all over it

One is another obnoxious handholding mechanic which is forced on you.
The other give you the choice to do it or not and ask you to search for things to do.

>>387500984
Why go into a BotW thread if you never played ? Ah yes, to defend fellow sony ponies. Good enough i guess.

Then again, at least you had the decency to admit you didn't play the game. so thats a +

>>387494038
The paraglider made the towers work. They would actually be worth climbing even if the towers themselves did nothing.

>Crafting
You cook food but that's about it.
>Survival elements
Why is this a bad thing?
>MMO tier quests
Yeah, I guess. At least you can just ignore them instead of grinding them out for exp.
>Ubishit towers
In a Ubisoft game, towers would fill out every important thing on a region. In Zelda they just give you the layout of the region on the map but you have to look for points of interest yourself, requiring work on your end as oppose to being handed everything.
>Shitty DLC and Amiibo content that should be free
Can't really argue with this. The second DLC seems more understandable but the first DLC should've definitely been in the game.
>Nostalgia grab
A lot of the iconic music isn't in the game and the game has done away with a lot of the old items. Hell, even the character designs have changed quite a lot. Link doesn't even have a green tunic until you complete all the shrines (or use the amiibo's)
>Huge brand
Why is that a problem?

Overall, this is a pretty solid shitpost my dude.

>>387499129
What's the difference besides Zelda making you work for where you want to go? If your average Ubisoft game didn't spew dozens of map icons when you climbed them, would they suddenly be 10/10 masterpieces in your eyes?

>>387499247

BotW is the WORST game of all time. Bar none!
$400 for the system (scalper only)
$100 for a pro controller (scalper only)
$1000 for the 22 amiibo (scalper only)
$500 for the game

That's like $2000 to play BotW properly and they have the gall to make me wait like 8 months for the full DLC? Why are people okay with this???

>>387505175
If they did that and added paragliders back I would gladly climb them

>>387497007
You can play games like Sonic Mania for about 5 hours. And games like Shovel Knight for even longer.
Played Splatoon for 4~ hours before I needed to charge it.
I should probably try playing Disgaea portably just to see what effects it has on the battery, but I've only ever played it docked. I'd imagine it be similar to one of the games mentioned above though.

Breath of the Wild is the only game I have that's a 3~ hour game as far as battery is concerned. I don't have Mario Kart deluxe though.

>>387505313
This. Why did they remove the glider in later asscreeds?

>>387505175
I can't believe I'm even reading this. A game makes you actually scout and try to find new locations to explore, instead of spoon feeding you a map full of icons, and you're complaining. What the fuck DO you want?

>>387505735
Interesting locations
