OP you are really retarded if you think anyone believes that

>>714959450 (OP)
If you are hyped for any product from a major studio that takes longer than 4 years, then you're delusional. We are well past the stage where people need to build the tools to even create 3D games or figure out how to take advantage of specialist hardware, so there's really no excuse for games taking this long to make.
If something takes 4+ years to make, then you should be full cognizant that something has gone wrong and that the entire project could have likely been scrapped multiple times.
A passion project or autism simulator made by a small team at least has an excuse, this does not.

>>714961339
TOTK will never be beloved here on /v/

>>714961459
>If something takes 4+ years to make, then you should be full cognizant that something has gone wrong

Quite rightly so. That's an idiotic thing to say. You clearly don't anything about video games. Let the adults speak.

The fact that they used the same map takes any possible enjoyment away from me

because anything released on the switch or later is protected by the nutendo shill force.

>>714961660
Skyward Sword also has good reviews despite being overpolished, yet unfinished and ill-thought out.
It also took 5 years to make and was delayed for 2 years.
It's not difficult to stand out in the current landscape of absolute garbage and most critical acclaim has no real relation to the actual quality of the game itself. It's been pointed out time and time again that aggregating review scores on sites like metacritic doesn't do anything to improve the accuracy when it's not even that uncommon for most of the scores to be given after only minimal playtime if any at all.

i'd argue it's less BOTW. the vehicles got rid of so many cool traversal puzzles and even whole regions. like the akkala fortress climb from BOTW, or the nearby land spiral out in the sea. even without the cheaterbike, everything was easily subverted with shield rockets, hot air balloons, and basic glider platforms.

Must be because BotW in reality isn't the same as the imaginary game you had in your own head when you played it as part of the mass-internet-delusion in 2017?

>>714959975
This.
BotW wasn't actually that great, but people took the first 10 hours, the Great Plateau and euphoria of all the initial sense of discovery and extrapolate it upon the rest of the game when in reality BotW always wore off hard after you learn how little content variety it actually had, and an outright awful endgame with weak payoff.
To this day I believe BotW's hype-cycle was based on people touching the game for 10 hours and dropping it but just agreeing that it initially feels amazing. I can't understand how anybody, except people who never touched vidyas before, can go through all of BotW's main content and hours of shrine-content and decide it's one of the Greatest Games Ever Made. I found it supremely boring and average after the initial "sense" wore off.

>>714971005
>GTAV is shit because I say so

I was blown away at first too. Then I realized the combat sucked, exploration was meaningless because you found dick all, and the game got old really fast. Towards the middle of it I just skipped the fights all together. Oh wow ANOTHER group of the same enemies from the start of the game. But these are a different color and are bigger bulleted sponges than the old ones. Should I waste 5 swords to kill them so I can get 2 weaker swords and 5 rupees or just not fight them at all.
Terrible game design.

>>714973202
And then there's master mode. Managed to get the master sword on master mode but the dumb durability system means the legendary sword is still a piece of shit that breaks all the time meaning you have to play a certain way to get around the system. What a let down that was.

>>714959450 (OP)
What baffles me about this game is how long it took to come out only to be a glorified DLC. Since it waa using the same map as BotW I was expecting a lot more content out of it but nope. You just get a few sky islands which are nothing and an underground map which only serves to farm materials. The main hub is pretty much the exact same as it was in BotW.

>>714959450 (OP)
What hype? Once everyone found out it’s just botw 2.0 the only people hyped were tendies.
I beat botw and thought it was ok, but who needed another one? I could never replay this Zelda game from the start ever again. Just knowing I’ll be constantly avoiding bullet sponge enemies so I don’t break a sword is enough to make me heave. Put the same enemy types in, give them different colors, and have your sword break if you engage with them for 100 rupees. Great work Nintendo

Yes. But pc + sailed the seas for it kek

The game should have ditched the shrines and make the wells and caves the main focus with wells being larger and connecting to each other. Even some caves could have connected to the depths which should have been smaller but contain unique areas and actual dungeons without the five-switch system.

>>714973713
For me, caves and "seamless" mainline dungeons made it way closer to being the kind of "True Zelda but Open World" I wanted. It helps that on the way to dungeons, there's sometimes steps that felt very Zelda-like. Zora region has a bit of a quest-chain between NPCs and eventually takes you to a pre-dungeon area (The Zora Waterworks) which has its own little gimmick about raising the water level. In the desert there's the Tower Defense portion and then a part where you have to triangulate 3 puzzles to make the pyramid appear where the dungeon is. The bosses are completely unique to each theme instead of the "[Element]-Ganons" from BotW or the sameness of the Divine Beasts.

The fact that you could "bump" into Dungeons like in ALttP and actually go inside them without being able to make your way through them properly yet, also contributed to the "Zelda feeling".

The Sky Islands were disappointing but I loved the Wind Wakerness of, for example, the one with all the mirrors inside it, where you're doing Mirror-shield gameplay in a more BotW kind of way.

In every way TotK felt like a step towards what BotW should've been IMO. The only thing that is bad is that they kept Shrines and Korok Seeds while also quantifying the new elements like the Caves (54 of them), the Signpost Dudes (50 of them), the Musicians who need to be driven around with homemade vehicles (5 of them), and the Lost Koroks who have to be transported (about 100 of the Korok Seeds)

It furthered the Ubisoftification that was already happening with BotW, and is exactly not what "Open World Zelda" should be.

But this doesn't make BotW superior to TotK just because it had less of it. It still did Ubisoft quantification and "Towers", and for that reason it must be marked as a failure.

>>714974193
Not him but I didn't mind the design framework. Everything you described is fine.
My personal issue was everything you meet along the way, bump into, find, discover, etc... is just really low quality. The quests, the level/world design, the NPCs, their dialogue, their stories, the music, the combat, the enemy design, their AI, their movesets, the overarching story you're working towards.
They put the cart before the horse. They developed an alpha build for a framework that existed 20 years prior, twice, and forgot to hire somebody with some creative cognition, let alone somebody who has played a video game.

>>714974193
yeah i agree. i loved the cave system.
i find TotK way better than BotW, with the labyrinths the only good think in BotW, and they were mid.

even though TotK was still kinda mid, it kept the feeling going longer with caves being fun and sprinkled around, and actually stumbling on the dungeons, even if they arent real zelda dungeons. then sky islands existing, and the underworld feeling like it 'might' have some grand secret... that it never did.

there were too many sign guys, and the armor upgrade system was made worse. it basically set it up so you go from 0 to max way too quickly. where as in BotW the lack of gatekeeping let u upgrade when u found them, giving a "slight" feeling of progress.

imo, they should have found a better system that allowed for upgrades in a better fashion. (I think towns should have been the place to go for upgrades, and each town specializes in types of armor theyre able to upgrade.
in places you find armor, like caves, you should have been given the upgrade items.
the upgrades shouldnt be in tiers really. more like all can be upgraded with a collection of common items once, a rare item once, and a specific hidden item in a cave somewhere once. you could in theory do this out of order, so the progression matches your pace in the story progression.

The overarching story and content quality being "dumbed down" is my biggest problem. Otherwise the content drip of the side-content is pretty much the same quality as what you find across the ocean in Wind Waker or what barren side-content there was in Ocarina of Time.
Zelda games always kind of sucked as Open World sandboxes, even Zelda NES, but Zelda NES excelled at giving you the feeling of mystery, that "there is something hidden" and by exploring the game there actually is a lot hidden, that you discover, including the final boss and Zelda herself. It's the delivery of that aspect that BotW fails at to me. Because it's still just scripted/cinematic enough so the main story largely guides itself but doesn't come close to the quality/depth of something like OoT or TP, while the side-content is so menial and has exactly no payoff at any point, that the entire game feels like a predictable time-sink, and getting a golden poop or a furry mascot costume by clearing all Shrines/Korok Seeds is exactly the "joke's on you" reward you could've expected.

That's why it pisses me off seeing the mainstream reaction to TotK be "Where's the payoff bro?" when you can say the exact same thing about BotW.

BotW and TotK raped this board sideways. Both games are amongst the Top 5 most acclaimed and successful games of the past 25 years.

And now the Deluxe Definitive editions, running at flawless 4K and silky 60fps, have been re-released on Switch 2 and are currently the highest rated games of 2025 on metacritic.

It's an endless ass rape. No wonder they're shitting blood.

The Zelda franchise isn’t known for its good combat. Or story. Or… fuck. What is it known for? Its exploration? The last two games kind of brought the series down in that category too. I’ll get back to you after positing some game journalist I’d call cucks outside of these Zelda threads.

You can always tell when /v/ is seething over a Nintendo because, as a coping mechanism, they keep trying to convince themselves a better game must exist somewhere.

I can't even list anything it did right.

>the snoy still struggles with numbers

>>714978861
Using the same tendie metrics I already did? You can cope and seethe about it all you want, but fact of the matter is red dead 2 is better.

I wanted a game that pushed the open world forward, doubled down on the systematic design, added fun quests to do, added more settlements and generally just make it all feel more alive. Instead I got legos. Now, the legos were fun but once I'd played around a lot, I didn't feel it scratched the itch I wanted it to.

Why’d you conveniently leave out the 96 score for the Wii U version?
97 and 97 make for a better score than 97 and 96 when averaged.

Breath of the Wild was an alright "first" attempt at an open world Zelda.
Tears is BotW with Gmod physics thrown in and significantly more retarded in every way.

he also left out the user BOTW user score but included it for rdr2. not a lot of other options when he made scores the beginning, middle, and end of his argumentation.

And sales! Don’t forget sales. They loved bragging about how many sales bore of the wild got. Except when you remind them that red dead blew it the fuck out too.

Same. I know people who say BotW is their favorite Zelda game and in the same sentence they say they never even finished it. For me that just boggles the mind. When I finally got around to playing myself it did hook me for a while, I didn't accomplish much but I was enjoying the exploration. And then I never bothered finishing it.

That's like every modern game. It's so annoying that AAAs spend millions and extra years for 60 hours of content that nobody but the few autistic completionists play. Why can't they make shorter smaller-budget games?

Yeah yeah I know why. Because the fucking 10 IQ normies will see reviews that say "the game is only 8 hours long!" and then pan it.

And frankly I don't even like most of the town themes. Kakariko flute gives me a headache. And Rito and Zora village theme remixes don't hold up to the originals.

>>714981860
The beautiful thing about BotW and TotK is the don't waste your time. The game can last 1 hour or 200 hours. I love that.

i agree, but because of that it makes both botw and totk weaker. playing botw makes you want to play a completed version of it, but once you get it with totk you’ve already experienced all the similarities with botw so the impact is dampened massively. it would be best if you somehow avoided botw and went straight to totk

>>714983651
kek, he gets replies and greentexts wrong and makes typos all the time. it would be much less sad if it was a bot but it's a real mentally deranged person.

>>714983694
I agree with this. Fortunately, the two were far apart enough for me timewise to feel like I was playing TotK for the first time and it was amazing. I could def see how playing them back-to-back would be underwhelming and BotW is a far inferior experience than TotK in that regard.

why do snoys love to project so much

>>714959450 (OP)
The hype died the moment we learned it was going to be a BotW rehash with Banjo zooie Nuts and Bolts mechanics as the big selling point. At face value there is nothing wrong with that, Majora's Mask can to some extent be considered a rehash of OoT too, in fact it's smart to reuse assets but 2 things to consider: we waited 6 years for...this? And second it was sold for $70 as if it was some sort of brand new premium Zelda experience. Imo if it has been released 1-2 years after BotW and sold for $40-50 as a sequel/different take on BotW it would have been fine but what we got was Nintendo pissing in a glass and expecting us to treat it as fine French wine.

>>714959450 (OP)
I liked it more than BOTW. Making cool flying contraptions was fun. The depths were boring and full of reused enemies and even bosses, and the sky had barely anything, but it was fun for what it was.

>>714985080
That and MM's did a lot more to distinguish itself from OoT vs. TotK from BotW. You can tell at a glance whether you're playing OoT or MM. The same cannot be said about BotW and TotK.

>>714959450 (OP)
BotW wasn't very good either, it was everything wrong with open world games compounded by the fact you had to grind the ability to explore without running out of stamina. The first few hours felt like you were controlling a crippled retard because they had no idea how to properly implement progression in an open world.

A lot of the BOTW wasn't good posts are the same ADHD and third worlder pirates btw.

The main reason TotK fell off faster than BotW was because Nintendo purposely altered the games mechanics so that the whacky movement options that came about from glitches in BotW couldn't be replicated in TotK.
