This game genuinely sucks

>>713228162 (OP)
fpbp

>>713228162 (OP)
botw is even worse

Then don't play it. No one is twisting your arm.

>>713228162 (OP)
But dude... you can attach wheels to a plank of wood and ride it... you could've just walked to the location in less time than it took you to build it but thats so cool right?

yeah it's pretty shocking how hard they shat the bed. like they didn't understand what was good about the previous game at all.

I wish they made a Breath of the Wild sequel instead

>>713228764
>Retcons the entire game it's supposed to be a direct sequel to within 20 minutes
For what purpose?

>>713228162 (OP)
botw succeeds because of its simplicity

I like how literally every fan was like "okay the engine is finished and the groundwork is there in BOTW they just need to fill the next game up with actual zelda stuff" and then nintendo did none of that and spent 7 years (the longest time between zelda games) doubling down on the physics autism and weapon breaking and empty open world.

get chased out of the famitsu thread again eric?

>>713229410
>Getting chased out of a schizophrenic circlejerk echochamber
oh no

>>713229780
you mean like this thread?

>>713228957
It's really weird how bad the story and continuity is. There were so many easy paths for a sequel. But for some reason they insisted ganon return right after killing him because "lel that wasn't the real ganon that was just his angry fart." And mysteriously wipe all Shiekah tech to replace it with totally-not-identical Zonai tech. They really couldn't try to be different in any way? It's like BotW was so successful that Nintendo was deathly afraid of changing it.

>>713229857
What's wrong with this thread? Does it upset you that people point out that this game is shit?

Cry about it, faggot

>>713228456
I dunno if it has anything to do with younger devs at Nintendo starting to become more prominent or what, but holy shit it feels like they've been aimlessly chasing haphazard and/or derivative game concepts and trends for the past several years.
>BotW has strong bones for an open world Zelda that just needs refinement
>ZOMG WHAT IF WE PUT IN NUTS N BOLTS VEHICLES AND GMOD WEAPONS
>Super Mario Odyssey has strong bones for a 3D collectation that needs refinement
>ZOMG WHAT IF WE ADD IN DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS AND A SKILL TREE
>Mario Kart 8 adds a new dimension for racing with creative anti-gravity segments
>ZOMG WHAT IF MARIO KART NOW HAS OPEN WORLD AND DOUBLE THE PLAYERS

It's so weird that so many fags would rather have a new completely empty world like BotW than filling in the existing one with a ton of new stuff.

>>713230363
But you can make you're own fun and that's pretty freaking epic

>>713230363
Crazy how they did neither.

>>713230426
I always wonder how Bethesda copy paste empty world stuff is so popular.
And people calling BotW better than TotK has only intensified that confusion for me.

>>713230274
This. All nutendo games also have the same ugly gaudy art style now, all their games look like arms. There isnt a single switch 2 games that looks interesting to me

>>713230268
why are you gay sperg.

>>713228162 (OP)
It's a 10/10 and one of the best things about it is that it mindrapes 30yo faggots who wasted 500000 hours on botw by making them realize their lives are worthless.

there is literally no shrine on shrine island

Is it worth it to play this if I don't feel like building? I really liked BotW but I don't want to play gmod.

>>713231136
It's only as time consuming and complicated as you want it to be. Simple solutions are always available.

My favorite defense for TotK reusing the same Hyrule and characters is "of course it'd have to, why wouldn't a sequel do that?", because it always instantly outs the fact that the person in question hasn't played a Zelda game before 2017.
>>713231136
In your case, probably not. It's by far the biggest "justification" for this game to exist, but the simplest solutions are often the fastest and easiest to figure out. You REALLY have to be entertained by making elaborate or silly creations to get hooked.

>>713231309
>You REALLY have to be entertained by making elaborate or silly creations to get hooked.
What? You can still play it like BotW if you want. The core gameplay isn't that different at all.

>>713231443
Then what's the fucking point lol

I dunno OP, it felt like the GSC of Pokémon’s gen 1 & 2, invalidating the game before it with much deeper content and mechanics that you can choose to interact with, or not. I wouldn’t put it above twilight princess or majora’s mask but it’s a very strong game, capturing the original Zelda’s spirit albeit with a garbage zoomer minecraft system but still giving the player the freedom to ignore its depth if they choose to. I love time travel storylines.

>>713231493
I mean he said he really liked BotW, it's literally more BotW.

>>713231309
>because it always instantly outs the fact that the person in question hasn't played a Zelda game before 2017
aka you? because that's exactly what albw was retard

>>713231605
It wasn't the direct sequel to LttP, retard.

>>713231309
>You REALLY have to be entertained by making elaborate or silly creations to get hooked.
I dunno, I did neither of those things and still had plenty of fun.

>muh botw canon
botw's story was fucking barebones nothing, even by zelda standards
who gives a shit

>>713231669
stop changing the goalposts because your low iq argument got btfo, albw is very much the intended follow up to alttp

>>713231763
>albw is very much the intended follow up to alttp
LA, OoS, and OoA say "hi".

>>713231705
Zoomers just put a lot of emphasis on whatever the new gimmick is in a game, ignoring the quality of the core gameplay.

>>713230274
I've noticed much the same. There seems to be much less creativity and more trend chasing.

If you think about it, 3d Mario was never primarily focused on collecting things. The main focus was on the missions which forced you to engage with the levels and platforming.

Sunshine was the complete opposite of the other 3d platformers at the time, which tended to focus on mindlessly collecting things in an open sandbox. Sunshine doubled down on 64's mission style and made it so that each mission changed the level in a unique way


Odyssey, on the other hand, does nothing but copy the trends of other 3d platformers and focuses almost completely on collecting things in a sandbox vs actual interesting missions.


I feel as if Nintendo is embracing this design style because it's much easier than making, let's say another game like Super Mario Galaxy. You can just make a sandbox and then copy and paste objectives.

BOTW is similar in this regard. It rejects the hand crafted massive dungeons of past Zeldas in favor of an open sandbox with copy and pasted content spread throughout.

>nearly every post ITT is at least a minute apart
Go to bed Eric

>BotW has strong bones for an open world Zelda that just needs refinement

not really lmao

>>713231892
how bout you go to bed and stop patrolling for everyone you think is him 24/7 you fucking lunatic

another six years of seething

>>713231795
that doesn't change anything i just said
albw is a sequel to alttp and was developed as such, like the developers literally state this verbatim
you're literally coping because you outed yourself while trying to make fun of other people for supposedly outing themselves

I wish I didn't need to grind so fucking god damn much for zonite to do anything fun or manageable to travel around. Batteries take forever

>>713230274
Nintendo fans exist in a closed ecossystem outside normal games, they are genuinely impressed by a racing game with that many players, it's groundbreaking for them.

>>713231971
>how bout you go to bed
amerifat spotted

>>713228957
It has a horrible story to boot. Ganondorf is a lazy mockery of OOT ganondorf with none of the elements that made OOT ganondorf cool.

>>713229410
not eric but is that supposed to be a punishment kek

I'm still really pissed off that a glorified dlc took 4 years to complete

>>713231981
I'm sorry I didn't specifically say "direct sequel" to please your legalist autism, but you know the point I was making good and goddamn well.

>>713232089
you didn't specifically say "direct sequel" because nobody would have said that anyway, it's a worthless extra qualifier that means nothing
you're just saving face because you got called out on your retardation, better luck next time and also maybe play more zelda games mr. tourist

>>713231963
If Super Mario Odyssey were styled in the old
>Boot out of the level and then re-enter the level for the next mission
It unironically would've made the game much better. I'd rather play 8 individual well crafted missions in a level than a hundred copy and pasted boring ones.

It would've also made Odyssey's worlds more interesting. Imagine if like in Sunshine each mission had a story with the level changing to varying degrees.

>>713232214
so you're just upset TotK is getting criticized, got it

>>713232260
i'm not upset at all, the person coping about outing themselves (aka you) is
also lol @ me not even mentioning totk until now while you're still buttblasted over it

>>713232394
You're pretending that ALBW is the foundation for Zelda sequels.

>>713232474
neat, a literal acfag tier strawman
oh wait you're him aren't you lmao

>>713232559
I thought I was Eric.

>>713228162 (OP)
Im worried the future of Zelda is building/fortnite tier mechanics. I hate all the dungeons in BoTW and ToTK. I hate the empty open world with nothing to do. I hate the shrines. I hate how all upgrades are locked behind farming shrines. I hate these games so much.

>>713232642
Oh yeah well have you ever considered that journalists praise the game? Checkmate, snoy

>>713228162 (OP)
It's so bad. There's very little actual progression in terms of the story or as a character. All you do is wander around and pick up breakable weapons and occasionally find some optional content to do.

>>713232060
5 years*, development was started after the botw expansion pass was done. Fujibiyashi is a complete hack, I don't understand how the fucker managed to seize control of the franchise starting with skyward sword

>>713234020
>I don't understand how the fucker managed to seize control of the franchise starting with skyward sword
Especially since his previous work included Oracle of Ages, which was an ungodly marathon of fetch quests and filler

>>713232770
It's good when the journalists praise the game, but they don't matter when it doesn't win all the GotY awards

>>713228162 (OP)
Genshin mogs this shit

The open world stuff is cool I guess but I don't find it compelling enough as a zelda game

>>713228162 (OP)
I'm genuinely lost hope for another good Zelda game to come out. There is simply no one at the helm that can pull off a good one anymore. Aonuma certainly can't make a good Zelda game.

It's cancer, I was checking out Zelda's game and I thought the core mechanic of controlling enemies was neat, but they had to add that spell from totk where you move things around, which doesn't really fit into the game and trivializes so many of the challenges.
