No, it didn't, it literally just did an arc as it is intended.

>>388730381
Yes it does make all the difference. Because you can't cast the "spell" whenever and wherever you want to, and it can hurt you as well if you don't time it right.

I feel like none of you played the game, that enemy always gets half of the bar of with one hit at that point, he keeps that tiny portion of HP with his eye falling down and you have to kill that instead so it dies, if he gets it back he recovers the HP. The lighting hit the eye.

>>388730573
I actually think you are retarded

The arc allows the boomerang to go backwards. The player aimed at empty space but the arc back allowed the boomerang to go back and hit the skeleton. Easy

The game actually does not have homing boomerangs, seriously just try it

No you can't cast in rain. You have to wait until it's storming, and it does not appear when you want to. You have very very little control over it beyond manipulating the location. It's not a spell at all

why is /v/ so hostile towards literally everything

>>388730891
Okay so it's a spell you can cast when it's storming. How fucking pedantic can you guys be.

The direction and way Link threw the boomerang has no chance of actually hitting anything with the physics of a fucking boomerang. It defied logic and turned around. The arc in which he threw it should have just gone right past the boss entirely. This is shit design. Do not defend it.

Instantly? Nah, lightning only does a lot on weakpoints on bosses, which is coincidentally what the player managed to hit. Do it to the stone part of a talus or anywhere besides the eye of a hinox and it does jack shit.

It's rewarding the player for careful timing and aim. If the player released the boomerang too early or late it has little to no effect, and it can cause the lightning to strike the player instead

yeah no kidding fucking kiddie game, it's also bullshit that the giant skeleton was able to move. it would need muscles and ligaments to do that, and even with those it would need a nervous and circulatory system to support them.

quit being a faggot anon, as long as the boomerang behaves consistently in game it's fine if it doesn't work exactly like the real world, and in BotW boomerangs always arc around and try to return to link after flying for a set distance. nothing shit about the design at all.

>>388731161
You are correct. Boomerangs do target locked-on enemies in this game, to an extent. You have to be in the ballpark, and in this webm, he was probably at the extent of getting away with it. I disagree that it's a shit mechanic, though. It makes throwing boomerangs fun.

BOTW doesn't deserve #1 because it has the limpests fights with Ganon in all the series

>>388731509
The first phase was great, it's just the second phase that was garbage. I still think the Demise fight should still take the worst spot. That second phase was the same shit except you get a free autowin lightning projectile. TP still has the greatest final boss gauntlet.

I don't get why this game is constantly sucked off.

>>388728751
>That .webm
>Riding on horseback to deal with Stalnox
>Using lightning to deal with a fucking Stalnox

It looks cool. And believe me, I do like the game. But the problem is that--while clever--going the extra mile or doing 'smart' maneuvers to beat enemies in this game is redundant and only rewards the imagination. I'm sorry, but the combat isn't as open or varied as the .webm lets on. We all know the optimal ways of dealing with enemy, whether it's time stop, side-step/flurry, or just exploitation of the enemies attack animations/patterns in general.

I learned the shallow combat the moment I fought a lynel:

>Side-step charge
>Mash flurry
>Watch him attack
>Back flip
>Mash flurry
>Do it again
>Mash flurry
>He backs up, fireballs..
>side step
>He charges
>side step
>mash flurry

Rinse and repeat for almost every fight.

Normies don't understand why BotW is so impressive, to them it's just a good game.

It's people who KNOW about video games who are impressed.

>>388731789
It's an open world game that gave you the freedom to really go anywhere, while still having some progression, and it's use of physics and interactivity to the world that hasn't really been done, despite being pretty simple to do. Closest I can think of is Just Cause when it comes to that.
Yeah, cutting down a tree and riding it isn't really impressive, which just makes you wonder why more games don't let you do it.

>>388731875
Optimal ways are boring, it's like using magic+spear in souls. It's just sucking the fun out of the game. I know someone who found a "optimal" combo for DMC4 and he only stuck with it for the rest of the game, the complained about how it was getting repetitive.

tl;dr Optimal is usually the most boring way to play

>I'm sorry, but the combat isn't as open or varied as the .webm lets on.

I fucking hate this generation of kids.

>>388732532
who are you quoting

>>388732383
Why would you do anything else but the optimal approach? Even if I did employ creative methods to deal with enemies I'd get no joy out of it because I'd personally know it was forced, it wasn't genuine, and I'm deliberately avoiding dishing out the max damage, as well as wasting resources and time to do things the 'fun way'.

>>388732532
If the enemies are best dealt with by button mashing, then that's the fault of the combat design, anon.

Why can't lonk use magic anymore?

>>388731875
Well you're clearly too dull to try experimenting

For instance let's use a Lynel as a example since you said he's shallow.
>Have a Lynel charge at you and fire at the ground and cause it to burn
>He'll either run through to get to you or try to avoid it
>The fire can used to fly into the air
>You can then land on his back and stab it several times
>You can also evade him so he loses you then jump from a high space to do another attack from his back

>>388732238
>It's people who KNOW about video games who are impressed

>>388731304
The best part is that the lightning isn't even what kills the stalnox. It's the grass that the lightning set on fire, burning the eye to death after the lightning popped it out of its socket.

>>388731875

He got rid of a miniboss without getting up from his horse in seconds even though he's fairly early in the game as you can tell from the number of hearts and what not.

The reward in the creativity is the easy solution.

>>388732906
>Why would you do anything else but the optimal approach
To have more fun. Seriously tell me you have more fun hiding behind a shield poking enemies in DS than rolling and weaving

>>388732906
>If the enemies are best dealt with by button mashing, then that's the fault of the combat design, anon.
But it's not, the combat is designed to discourage button mashing.

The player is constantly on thr back-foot (at least early on until you upgrade your armour and weapons). The game encourages the player to size-up each encounter, make them develop a strategy by considering their inventory and using the climate and environment to their advantage.

The problem is we have an entire generation of kids who understand nothing but mindless button mashing and these are usually the ones complaining about BotW's combat.

BotW's combat isn't earth shattering but it's not the main focus of the game either. It's enjoyable and engaging enough for what it is.

>>388729863
I'm mostly bothered by the map at the moment. Kakariko Village is no where near Death Mountain when it has been at the base of the mountain in OoT and TP.

The Forest/Marsh Region from TP has Palm Trees and tropical elements. The hottest place, Death Mountain, is in the north and not the West. Zora's Domain is also oddly placed well away from Lake Hylia.

I haven't explored the entire map yet, but the various climates don't fit the established themes of Hyrule and the area locations seem to be really off.

Zoras Domain was never near lake hylia.
Death mountain has moved many times and isnt always near Kakariko, its also hot because its an active volcano, not the fucking latitude or elevation. Duh, and it was never "in the west" boy-o. Maybe if you only ever played TP in wii and have no reference from any other zeldas.
Oh and a forest region thats also coastal should have palm trees and be humid as fuck, its kind of how nature works. Unless you mean the sacred grove in the lost woods, that is usually found in the region you are thinking of but turns out forests can move over centuries., they can grow and recede.

>>388734148
so every delayed effect is a grenade now? the fact that it's every metal weapon in the game that behaves this way doesn't change that? the fact that the player doesn't decide when the fuse is pulled doesn't change that? the fact that it'll happen to enemies weapons if the player has no metal equipment doesn't matter? It's lightning, it follows consistent rules because it's a video game and physics engines are more simple than the real world, but you are bending over backwards to discredit it by calling it "a spell" or "a grenade" but all you're doing is making yourself look stupid. in certain circumstances it works like a grenade, sure, that doesn't actually take away from the fact that it's a cool use of a game mechanic initially designed to hurt the player as a weapon against enemies.

>>388735445
BotW's map is amazingly similar to ALttP's overworld, the only major differences are Kakariko village moved, Akkala was unaccessable and The Hebra mountains were outside the bounds of ALttP's map.

>>388735936

>>388731145

>>388735760
the fact that thunder is just a .gif in the sky but appear exactly in the area where you use a metal weapon the same exact 7 seconds every time make it a grenade yes

it doesn't make it less cool, but it's annoying when everyone is masturbating to the "technology" when it's not
especially when the game has an incredible physic engine with dynamic fire
out of ALL effects in the game, this lightning trick may be the weakest one

Combat isn't the main focus of BotW unlike those other games.

People literally complain about BotW because it doesn't blow every other title of every genre out of the water

>The puzzles arn't as good as Professor Layton, no way does BotW deserve 10/10!

Because both are better compared to latest Zelda games. The others only win on dungeons.

rondo of blood is better.

>>388740330
How does rolling make the combat better in any way? A dodge is functionally the same, except with less recovery time. They added in parries as well so it evens out if you enjoy the downtime of rolling that much

>>388740330
You couldn't roll in combat in any of the 3D Zeldas with lock-on targeting.

Yet people in these same threads defend BoTW and claim it has no flaws at all, absolutely nothing is wrong with it whatsoever.
What they fail to realize is that open world games have been done to death since the market was flooded with them in the past 5 years.

I hate that we cant have good discussions of BOTW on this board. I feel like everyone shitposting is just buttmad that they cant afford to play or emulate it. I've logged hundreds of hours into my playthrough, havent used any guides, and im still very much into this game.

>>388743331
>What they fail to realize is that open world games have been done to death since the market was flooded with them in the past 5 years.

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

But BotW also raises the bar for the entire genre and every future open world game will be measured against it.

>>388767253
Why not design the game so that the "actual fighting" is the dominant strategy?

edge are some of the few video game critics i respect even if i disagree with them
i agree with their 10/10. botw should be important. it is definitely genre defining. it isnt a personal 10/10, i feel more of a 8 or 9 for this game. however, it is an objective 10. it is a benchmark of video games, and future games are definitely going to be compared to it often.
everything in botw fits. absolutely nothing feels out of place even though you have a tablet and a camera and special powers in the world. the gameplay is great. the map is probably the best video game map ever made. the shrines/beasts are a great way of implementing dungeons and puzzles in a zelda game that actually has a fantastic overworld that it wants you to explore. puzzles are spread out around the world rather than being placed into a few points of interest. some might be in ancient ruins, some might be at the top of a mountain, some might be hidden in a crevice, some might be a warp position for a town. each feels extremely well placed, even all 800 of the koroks are cleverly placed rather than just thrown across the map. even though the beasts share textures and initial appearance, they each have their own atmosphere and unique mechanics. the weapon durability is a genius way to keep the weapon variety interesting rather than have each player head straight to the part of the map with the best weapon and use that for the whole game. the story is fittingly low key, and fits the world and gameplay concepts very well. the world building is the best i have ever seen in a video game. combat focuses on fun and rewards slightly clever thinking, and i have never died in this game and felt like it was bullshit. the ONLY system i dont like in this game is the food system, but even that has reasons that i could see most people really enjoying. i really think this game deserves as much respect as it can get. this good of game design is too rare in the industry

>>388767914
>i feel more of a 8 or 9 for this game. however, it is an objective 10. it is a benchmark of video games, and future games are definitely going to be compared to it often.
I've been saying this exact same things for months.

Gameplay-wise, BotW is a solid 8/10 or even 9/10/. But it gets extra kudos for just how far its raises the bar and sets a new standard for an entire genre.

People will still be talking about BotW years from now and every open world game from now on will be measured against it.

I didn't say the level design was bad. They just felt more like concepts than actual dungeons. I remember after I finished my first divine beast I couldn't believe it was over.

>SOLDIER SWORD

loot is useless. fighting is useless. dungeons and shrines are useless. there's literally nothing in the game.

>>388767641
why worry about there existing an optional silly way to abuse the ai or some other mechanic if it doesn't inhibit people from fighting it for real?

just like your life, nimrod.

I actually hate 2h dungeons, it's a chore. I'm fine with 30 minutes ones, just make more of them with good ideas and I'm sold.

gaming ""journalism"" has been in bed with companies for as long as I can remember, nothing new here. Game not even out for a year yet somehow GOAT? pretty sure they did the same for skyward sword, where is it now? It's all a fucking work, it's like Boxers throwing matches or the Mcgregor/Mayweather fight. Simple Business. Simple Easy Money

>>388752718
And the giant glowing yellow spots are there to show them where to shoot at, you didn't notice those first?

every single zelda games since Ocarina has been given a 10/10 somewhere. it's exactly why 10/10 means literally nothing.

>>388771669
yup, that's my point. Remember MGS4, 10/10 BEST GAME EVAR!!! MGSV (unfinished mess), 10/10 BESTEST GAME EVAR X2!!!! Like you said, it means nothing..

>>388771669
Yes, because of BOTW. Not because of the plethora of games like Bioshock infinite, TLOU, or Skyward Sword that are praised without thought. At least BOTW earned it for being 100% gameplay.

>>388764278

I think Horizon and Botw are both trash games. I used to be a Nintendo fan, but they went in a different direction. Botw is garbage, sorry. Flavor of the month. What exactly does it do differently than other open-world games? Nothing.

today, I'll still take OOT and Majora anyday of the fucking week.

It is one of the greatest of all time for the first 20 hours. Then it just keeps on going.

And going.

it pisses me off because i remember when ocarina came out, and was literally the second coming of jesus christ, in terms of what it did to the landscape of gaming on a whole. even perfect dark, a game that surpassed goldeneye in every single way, didn't get a 10/10, because it was technically a superior spiritual sequel, instead of a completely original game. today, 10/10 means a nice fat check was issued, because there hasn't been a 10/10 in years. mgs5 is one of my favourite games ever, and what i would call a "personal" 10/10, because i love everything about it. objectively, it's a solid 8, because of it's gameplay, and nothing else. 5 along with BOTW are easily the weakest 10/10s i've ever seen in my life. they're both empty, they're both unfinished, they both lack depth, they both lack story, they both lack content, and somehow they're both masterpieces? fuck off. ocarina of time being a crowning achievement for video games is why it was a 10/10. the fact that we've barely surpassed that game 20 years later is the real fucking issue.

Skyrim II

If you ever played the game you'd know that lightning frequently strikes in all sorts of locations during a thunderstorm. In fact there are multiple instances where multiple metal objects are building charge but only one would get struck.

>>388771893
>At least BOTW earned it for being 100% gameplay.
dark souls is 100% gameplay. so was demon's souls. so was pretty much every single video game right until the xbox 360. if we're stacking BOTW up to older games in terms of being 100% gameplay, BOTW isn't even in the top 100/

>>388772310

lol fucking console war faggots embracing those 10/10s to stroke their own dicks. They don't realize its all just jewish marketing tricks. Pretty much 99% of online reviews are paid now.

Conserving the momentum of the horse and rider, the boomerang is going to appear to "arc" forward if aimed properly. A projectile that was fired on target would miss to the right because of the momentum at the start of its path (Forward and right). By correcting left, the projectile hits the target, moving in an arc from the perspective of the thrower, despite flying straight from the boomerang's perspective.

It's the door-gunner problem: Fire on target and you hit ahead of the target by the speed of your vehicle times time to target. Lag this distance to land hits.

I'd argue that Nintendo should use Hyrule Castle as a blueprint for future dungeon design. Time for Zelda to return to minimal puzzles and sprawling dungeons crawling with traps, enemies, locking doors, secret passages, etc.

The release date has been known for a while now: 31 Dec.

I imagine we'll see a proper reveal trailer soon.
