Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that this is just poor mans horizon zero dawn?
Same premise but horizon has much better and more intricate combat, better graphics and better mystery factor

BOTW IS A RIP OFF

I didn't care for either but I did find it kinda funny that both games are setup by an ambiguous red mist that inhabits machinery originally created to help civilization.
Bentley Hughes
It's not the best Zelda game ever, but it's still a very good, very fun, open world game. Arguably one of the better open world games since most of them are just "open worlds" full of fucking nothing at all; least BoTW has things to do in it, things to see, etc.
Plus has some very fun locations and things to do. A very fun solid game, and unless you're a 100% jagged fuck like most of Yea Forums is who is just chasing the 100% perfect game (which will never exist) you will have fun with it.

Good God no.
Horizon is way worse than Both
Horizon feels exactly like a developers first attempt at open world.
Bentley Lopez
>at least BotW has things to do
You can't really be using this as an argument in its favor, can you?
Every game has things to do, it's the quality of those things that counts above all else.
Are Bokoblin camps really of any notable quality?
What are some of the best Shrines?
Bentley Wilson
eh, playing HZD i found myself wishing Aloy could scale shit the way Link can
Both games stand on their own merits if you ask me
Jason Morris
More like Horizon Zero Awards
Josiah Jenkins
>Horizon feels exactly like a devs first attempt at open world
So does BOTW though
Cameron Reed
Horizon was fun but I skipped anything story related since it was stale as shit.
Levi Green
I thought Zelda was painfully boring, as most open world games are.
That said Horizon is about ten times worse.

When the fuck have we ever agreed on anything other than OP being a massive faggot

You can’t announce that’s its bait. Now you’re at the disadvantage. All people have to do is call you a retard. If you held onto the butthurt comment and just replied with it you would have had us, but now you’re the retard.
John Morris
The limiting of Aloy's traversal across the world puts you in the way of enemy combatants, doesn't it?
I found that to be one of BotW's failings. There's no reason to ever fight anything because nothing is, unironically, blocking your path.
Even dungeons don't have enemies, and you can't even climb into or inside of them. It's quite baffling. I can't comprehend this type of design.
>inb4 Horizon shill
I never cared for it. Since its reveal I knew the combat was off and had no interest, but my brother played it so I saw a lot of it that way.
Andrew Thompson
yeah if you get on a horse and let it take you down the road in hzd youll eventually run into enemies but the same can be said for botw
Connor Scott
Ian Fisher
giving player choice is a good thing though, theres plenty of reason to fight, be it materials for upgrade, sidequests or getting some gear and simply having fun with all the crazy shit you can do to deal with enemies.
i understand some people can't function and have fun if they're not told what to do but for me its the opposite, i fucking hate being told what and how to do things so a game that gives you a fuckton of fun tools and gives you well designed encounters with varied setups for you to go wild is a god sent.
Landon Ross
I like the idea of choosing to fight every random enemy, despite the weapon durability, but there's a major element that broke that spirit in me: The Blood Moon, aka Radiant gameplay/material grinding.
I tried to be a hero but the game didn't want me to do it my way, ironically.
Can I choose to disable flurry rush so every potential enemy encounter isn't interrupted with a trashy slow-mo prompt?
You're just describing what it's like to play gmod, except it's now severely limited and set to a nonsensical lore backdrop.
You're type of person I imagine would try and play Super Mario Bros. by scrolling left and then being disgruntled when the game told you to play the game how its designed, instead of compromising itself by having no design at all.

You didn't make this to converse anything. Even though I agree with you, fuck you.

>literally dozens of open world games and yet OP chose hzd
this bait is gay but Yea Forums will still gobble it down to it's base like the gay nigger that they are
Ian Thomas
I'm okay with you trying to criticize BotW, but don't ever say or even imply that HZD is anything more than a catastrophe.
Henry Morgan
>it has better graffix guys!!
Yes I to want a pretty picture I can walk around in, because god knows I hate interactivity in my VIDEO GAMES.

Cooper Reyes
BotW is a "rip-off" of like a dozen different open world games.
Open world was a mistake.
Aaron Ramirez
And now every single open world game that comes out rips off BOTW in one way or another, don't see anyone trying to copy Horizon Zero Fun though

Cope, seething and obsessed. Kill yourself you retarded faggot.
Hunter Jackson
Didn't they release within a month of eachother?
And wasn't BOTW announced earlier than HZD?
Explain your reasoning.

So*nyfags this is just getting pathetic
Jackson Ward
Aš a person who owns both PS4 and Switch and spend 100 + on both of these games I disagree. Both of of these games are very good, they excel at completely different things, Zelda has way more interesting gameplay, physics system and interactivity of the game world of is completely on the other level. HZD has way better combat/setting. These games are completely different apart from the fact that they are open world. Jeez... I always am surprised how toxic PS4 fanboys are.
Ethan Lopez
>Even dungeons don't have enemies
Yes they do you fucking nut.
Julian Moore
Not him but while they do, they all die in 1-2 hits. It's a far cry from previous games that had a ton of enemy encounters, up to and including the original Legend of Zelda whose dungeons were essentially combat gaunlets.
Aiden Anderson
>Even dungeons don't have enemies,
It’s confirmed that you haven’t played it then.
Samuel Stewart
The main separating factor is this:
BOTW is a truly open world game
Horizon has a shitty “mission structure” with scripted bullshit. Probably so they could shill more trannie and feminist voice actors and shit. Horizon is essentially a tech demo for Death Stranding now, it has done nothing innovative for the gaming medium. Now, I’m not gonna sit here and act like BOTW is some gift from god either, but it managed to finally realize what open world should be: OPEN FUCKING WORLD. Now if only it could get some less washed out graphics...
Ethan Reed
havent played either but you sound like a tranny
Michael Smith
BotW's main quest is full of "scripted bullshit". The divine beasts are arguably the most scripted dungeons ever put into a Zelda game. To the point where you're not even allowed to re-enter them after beating them.
