You will never get to play Breath of the Wild for the first time ever again

ITT: Edgy Contrarians.

The game is okay you faggots, not great. Just being anti-whateverispopular doesn't mean your opinion is better than others.

Oh boy, this thread again! The game is painfully overrated, adecent start that quickly gets mediocre afterwards. Get over it and stop making these fucking threads.

The game is okay. The first couple of hours are phenomenal until you catch on on how repetitive everything is. Repetitive combat, repetitive enemies, repetitive sidequests, repetitive shrines, repetitive 'dungeons' and bosses. The overworld was cool but ultimately empty and the towns weren't memorable.

I just don't like how haters refuse to acknowledge anything the game did well. The physics and shit was fantastic.

I'm sure you would think that if it was your first open world game.

Is this bait? I've said twice now that the game was 'okay' and you specifically said "What are you talking about?"

Don't do this, man.
What was even unique about the physics? It was just an incredibly generic physics engine that gave you /some/ tools to play with that weren't even that engaging.

I liked the art style, I liked a lot of the environments/weather, and I liked the lonely atmosphere, but honestly, that's it.

name a better open world game you can't

BOTW is unironically a 5/10 game.

the physics made the environment engaging

>Repetitive
>combat, enemies
...
All games have repetitive combat and enemies user. In fact you're probably playing a bad game if the combat ISN'T consistent. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant low enemy variety, in which case I agree.
>shrines, dungeons
They're repetitive in appearance only. There's a significant amount of shrines that take place in the overworld to break up the monotomy.
>bosses
Dungeon ones yes. Overworld ones? Definitely not.
>overworld was cool but ultimately empty
You're contradicting yourself here. What did you find cool about it if it was empty?
>towns weren't memorable
And how weren't the towns memorable? Gerudo Town alone is more memorable than half the ones in New Vegas.
That's surprising considering it's not.

>Gerudo Town alone is more memorable than half the ones in New Vegas.
Bait, not a single character comes close to NV’s cast.

Yep, Guardians can be dealt with in the exact same way as Hinoxes.
Not every game needs Dark Souls combat. Want to see what happens when devs try to force having epic, complez and deep combat mechanics? You get Witcher 3.
user please stop typing out your retarded rant now.

I accidentally pressed post

Okay, I was trying to be civil but you're a fucking faggot and here's why

>Repetitive combat/enemies.
1) Yeah, the lack of enemy variety is shit and you also agree with.
2) All the enemies can be dealt with in the exact same way. Making it repetitive. The combat is so basic and simplified that it requires no thought. Especially once you hit mid game, combat is just walk up smash with you weapon, flurry rush, repeat. It takes no skill or thought making it repetitive. There are other ways to tackle enemies but they're inefficient. It makes no sense for me to go out of my way to do something inefficiently when it's supposedly more fun because in the back of my head I know it would just be faster to whack them with my sword.

>Shrines dungeons
Them looking the exact same is still a massive problem and you're kind of a retard for just bushing it off as a minor one
Their puzzles are incredibly simple and none of them expand on anything other than their initial challenge. They're boring and if you found them hard you're genuinely brain dead.

I don't understand why they went with this color pallette. It just looks so flat and ugly.

Does BOTW have the greatest map of any game ever?

Amazing or not, I found it better than any other 3D Zelda game.
I didn't find Fallout 3 or Skyrim to be as appealing.

No.

>fallout 3
>skyrim
it's objectively better than both

BOTW is like half a game world. The layout is probably the best open world ever conceived but they didn't bother placing down unique assets or content.

>Bosses
Dungeon ones? Yes. You agree which is a massive fucking problem as well.
Overworld ones? Also yes and I don't understand how you think that the dungeon bosses are repetitive but overworld ones aren't. You've got Hinoxes which are all fought the same and the Rock monsters which are all fought the same. The way of beating them are incredibly boring and obvious and again, if you thought they were challenging, you're brain dead.
The Sandworms and the Lynels are the only good overworld bosses (if you count the Lynels as one). Sandworm because it was unexpected and Lynels because they actually present a challenge until you realize you can just exploit them and then all fun is lost.

>Overworld is cool but ultimately empty
If you thought this was a contradiction, it just proves you're retarded. The overworld had cool scenic locations, but there was nothing to do in those locations other than to climb around them.

>Towns weren't memorable
You clearly haven't played any other Zelda game or probably any other game. All of the NPCs do literally nothing. None of them or memorable and you quite literally have no reason to return to any of them.

Fuck off.

That's fine, the next game is going to follow the Termina/Lorule troope and feature the same engine/feeling

Played Skyrim, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Far Cry 4, and am currently playing through Witcher 3.

Breath of the Wild is better than all of those except maybe New Vegas. Witcher 3 especially is what made me realize why BOTW was rated so high: People are fucking tired chasing arounds icons on a map.

MM’s unique feeling was through side quests, sparse but complex dungeons, and interesting side characters. Plus Koizumi. BotW lacked all of that.

It's 2nd. Xenoblade X is #1.

I was comparing it to BotW.

If you actually played open worlds you'd know that's wrong. Breath of the Wild completely shits over the Open World design philosophy the west ran into the ground for the past 10 years.

>>right off the bat, Nintendo make the best open world game ever made on their very first attempt using a fucking toaster.
Rockstar already did that back in 2001 mate, and they actually revolutionize the genre.

i tried it and it bored me

This, RDR2 was hyped as fuck but BotW literally stole all of its thunder before it even had a chance to release. Nintendo showed everybody what an open world game had the potential to be, and Western devs were exposed as being utterly unable to match that, even with much better hardware to work with.

Let me guess, faggot. Shit Waker is your favorite? Neck yourself

>Breath of the Wild completely shits over the Open World design philosophy the west ran into the ground for the past 10 years.

Sad state of Zelda really.

Still better than anything the West ever shat out within the open-world genre

>The first couple of hours are phenomenal

The first part was so good because it was carefully balanced around your specific abilities and available resources at the time. Once you get off the Plateau, the abilities you can have at any given time (hearts, stamina, items, meals, champion powers etc) are all so variable, but the world still needed to be built assuming you had only the bare minimum, so a lot of the experience evaporates quite quickly.

For example I've heard a lot of people say that the trek up to Zora's Domain the first time with Sidon is fucking brilliant, but I wouldn't know because I came from the opposite direction and had Ravioli's Gale to just jump over everything while it rained, not realising that I was accidentally depriving myself of properly experiencing one of the game's better set pieces. The whole game is like that.

I still enjoyed it but a bit more structure in the next one would go a very long way.

Scum.

Comparing San Andreas to BotW completely misses the point of what BotW brought to the table. San Andreas merely expanded upon the GTA formula by offering more things to do within the same basic mechanical framework. It was simply iterative. BotW completely turned the genre on its head and revolutionized it by changing the way the open world formula had been approached by Western developers like Rockstar for so long. You don't understand good game design at all.

Fags.

This isn't even taking into account quest markers which politely leave a mindless dotted line for you to follow. The NPCs don't even give you dialogue to play the game without the markers ("It's up over that hill", they say every fucking time), the world design is too shit to point you in the right direction naturally, because that requires actually being good at world design.
The writing, voice acting, and absurd amount of content there is are the only three things Witcher 3 has over Breath of the Wild, and the last one ends up being a horrible slog.

Oh, there's also Gwent. That's pretty fun, though I found it horribly overrated considering fans of it were telling me it was the second coming of christ before I started up Witcher 3.

Nah, I don't like toon shit.

Dark Souls is overrated trash with a community comprised mostly of memeing redditors.

I’mma go out on a limb and say there’s a bigger fandom in reddit for Zelda due to it being around longer and because redditors are massive nostalgicucks

No.

What a pathetic life you must have. A video game is the worst thing to happen to you? Go outside, make friends, get a job, maybe find a boyfriend?. Why are you even here anymore?

It's the only game in a long while that made me feel I was actually going on an adventure. Every other open world game feels like a god damn checklist in comparison, not a grand epic exploration. Breath of the Wild only became a checklist like 70 hours in when I had to track down the last 15 or so shrines.

A game hasn't made me feel that way since Vanilla WoW, and that was mostly due to me still being young and having no idea what I was doing.

Redditors are in all likelihood probably pissed at Zelda for not being inclusive and making Link a girl in BotW. Also nostalgiafags hate BotW for deviating from the formula so much.

I've wanted to see a female Link for around 15 years, but that's just because I could fap to her. As it is, I ended up fapping to BOTW Link, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

Not a great game 2bh. Weapon durability is bullshit. The fact that you can even use fucking rare weapons more than 20 fucking times before they break is gay. An entire fucking cast of creatures built up over the years, and the only things you fight most of the time are slime spawns, bokoblins and stalfos bokoblin spawns. Moblins have a retarded design as to wizzrobes. NO fucking darknuts? Tektites? Leevers? ANYthing? Octoroks are just retarded turrets. Hinox and the retarded boulder golems can be easily cheesed, same with divine beast bosses. Only worthwhile enemy in the entire game are the fucking lynel. SAD!!!

Check the reddit numbers, I’m sure I’m right tho.

i completely agree. only a small amount of us realize it

I know they went with humanoid enemies because they had to resupply weapons but they still could've added Armos and Darknuts or even those wolf things with boomerangs from the first game

I really, really enjoyed BOTW and I'm enjoying my second playthrough too, but yeah, I agree on the weapon durability and lack of enemy variety. The only good thing to come out of weapon durability is it forced me to use everything, but I still don't like it, and I don't like that nothing lasts that long, and that even the goddamn Master Sword needs to take naps now and then. Really don't know what happened with the enemy variety. Hopefully the next one improves in those areas.

>implying I didn't wait 2 years to go back to it
It's basically new to me, I can't remember the world layout. I'm doing the same with Red Dead Redemption 2, except maybe a little shorter

Playing this game for the first time was honestly amazing, but once I fully learned how the game worked it got pretty stale for me. Fumbling around the map just exploring and accidentally finding the Gerudo Town and doing that Divine Beast were the best hours I've had in a Zelda game.

Not that guy but Witcher 3 is probably a better open world game overall. And I love Zelda. BOTW lacks character moments, which Witcher has plenty off. Not gonna bother greentexting your beloved open world zelda.

Biggest letdown in this game are the side-quests and "rewards" which usually amount to stupidly low rupee sums.
Really? Getting all those cucoos in kakariko gives me 50 rupees? thats ONE HALF gourmet meat.

Same exact thing with me. I meant to do it a year ago, but I ended up getting distracted. Having a good time.

Witcher 3 has the better quests and overall writing, though I enjoy the actual world of BOTW more for the mechanics, little touches, actually being able to climb, and the visual variety. As much as I liked the Witcher 3, so many areas looked the same.

I think the problem here is that you don't want to actually play a game where the developers have high expectations about your ability to have fun and go on an adventure without being hand-held the entire time through. This is why you prefer shit games that constantly bombard you with help and directions like Witcher 3.

I will, actually. Being a poorfag I haven't been able to buy a Switch

that doesn't make any sense and you are missing the point entirely. It's not about witcher sense AT ALL. And it doesn't matter where you go in botw, since the entire game is plastered with samey camps and physic shrines. Only meaningful exception being the master sword.

youtube.com/watch?v=vmIgjAM0uh0

It was a good sleeping aid after work. I was glad it was over desu when I found it never changed. I was even sad that the dungeons were all the same, saying to myself "maybe the next one will be a real dungeon". Aw well.

Imagine being this much of a Nintendo shill

BOTW autism is pretty concentrated. General Switch related autism is a few dedicated Nintendo weirdos in general.

If you're going to shill for a game dev it might as well be for one like Nintendo that actually makes games worth playing instead of AAA cinematic trash

Tried playing through it on both systems but I dropped it at around the same point both times.
I wish they'd hire somebody who develops video games.
What was the point of Zelda's failed arc anyway? She just magically gains the plot armor powers at the end anyway, instead of using her strengths (that apparently being the ability to shadow Hyrule's R&D and pretend she's the head honcho).
Fuck those memories. What a waste of time.

So are you saying that a video game can't make you feel that way, or that it's bad if a game makes you feel that way?

>Would I enjoy this game if I absolutely hate puzzles

I dunno, you can play the game however you want and you're not forced to do anything. Most of the puzzles are optional and the cool thing is that they have multiple solutions based on your resources and wits.

Yeah Nintendo must look at all the rave reviews and awards and wonder where they fucked up.

First chunk of the game is amazing
Everything that comes after is boring and samey
Didn't even have the drive to finish the last Divine Beast

I love this pasta. Because its true.

just keep in mind that this piece of shit game managed to get goty

These games always get rave reviews, rather inexplicably I might add.
What's your point?
The combats the worst in the market and the world is needlessly big while not utilizing its attempted scale as well as what it obviously was trying to ape (Xenoblade, Skyrim).
For fucks sake Aonuma even directly quoted the latter in reference to the city designs, and they ended up making such lackluster villages/domains that they made Todd's team look like they chiseled David.

It's the skyrim effect, it was amazing when it first came out but now it is too much of a good thing because we put too many hours into it. We all got burnt out and now skyrim is garbage.
Same with BOTW, I have put a good 200+ hours into it, and now it is a chore to play because I have done it all.

Stop being upset because Nintendo made a good game. You're sure as fuck not going to convince me.

>The combats the worst in the market
It's literally the best combat in an open-world game barring pseudo-open-world (MGSV, Nier: Autotomato, etc.)

Because the Switch contains less processing power than some fridges.

of course there are, in the same fucking series in fact. There's nothing here that's any better than ALTTP, just now with 300% more pissing about because of what? The needless breadth of the "wild", an awkwardly tame wild at that.
>I'll narrow the field by implying the design of the overworld has an arbitrary impact on why the combat is fuckig shit
It's an Action-Adventure game you cock, and it's got even worse combat than The Witcher 3. See the aforementioned, adding in shitloads of space between A and B so you can call yourself an increasingly vague "Open World" game doesn't magically fucking change the core design. BotW isn't some genre-hopping iteration in the franchise, it's just another lazy project that moved sideways with its establised formula to show that it's different and experimental, by incidentally doing what everybody's mother's boyfriend is doing, while failing to keep up with the core design elements that make the series what it is, I.E. COMBAT or PUZZLES

Combat isn't what the game is about. Like crying about the gunplay in Metroid Prime.

Also, I've noticed that it tends to be braindead button-mashing morons who complain about BotW's combat.

>There's nothing here that's any better than ALTTP

Comparing 2D to 3D. This is how I know you're a fucking retard.

It makes Cuckstarfags seethe every time, without fail

Combat is "fine" in Dark Souls and that's still an amazing game. Fuck off.

Dark Souls really isn't that great. Possibly the most overrated series of the decade.

>It's an Action-Adventure game you cock
Yes, and it's also open world. More 'complex' combat often just results in glitchy and janky scenarios because that kind of combat isn't suited for wildly varying terrain, AI that can traverse said terrain, AI that can be pulled any distance, interactions with physics/chemistry, etc. Ignore all that and you get something like Witcher 3, which definetly does NOT have better combat than BotW and I don't know why you'd choose that hill to die on of all things. And you berate the game for not 'keeping up with the core design elements combat and puzzles' when BotW has both of those in spades relative to the rest of the series.

Oh, and open world also has the problem of difficulty. Not only in that the player can go to most areas regardless of their current 'level' but also in that you can't really control what order they might encounter enemies in. If you're going to argue that having an open-world map doesn't affect the combat you're being intentionally ignorant.

Can anything top BotW this gen?

>wow
Standards everybody

Based.

he was saying you should go back to posting on reddit you stupid faggot

I was so excited for this game that I got a switch for it. Found out it was assassin's creed: hyrule edition...never touched it again, still have it tho.

>Found out it was assassin's creed: hyrule edition

Why you talkin' shit tho bro?

Yeah, it's a shame they didn't recycle the engine.
A proper dungeon-focused Zelda game with the physics and combat systems of BotW would be really enjoyable.
I'm not sure why Nintendo hasn't made a direct sequel other than Splat2n recently. MM, SMG2, and MP2 were all fantastic games that didn't feel too repetitive.
We've somehow gotten to a point where companies are more willing to shit out remasters than rehashes. It's awful.
