Honestly not wrong. Every handheld zelda is more tolerable and emphasize fun, and Link to the Past still remains GOAT.

Twilight princess is the worst in the series by far, Nintendo's "AAA" Zelda effort that doesn't add anything to the series, just expanding on greatest hits. Ww updated combat and now you're forced to be an animal for long moments at a time for terrible item hunts. Oh hey and ganondorf is back to make the "new" villain useless.

I badly wanted Breath of the Wild to be my favorite Zelda game ever, but there are so many different gameplay mechanics that get in the way that other open world action games have done better.

I really loved BOTW. It's tied with Majora as my favorite Zelda and one of my all time favorite games. It's the only open world game that I enjoy because it's open world, rather than despite it

other open world games tremble in the shadow of botw, it contains a greater sense of wonder and adventure in one frame than those other games can muster in dozens of hours. i can see why some don't like some of the systems though

BOTW is the game that made me see why other people like open world games. Usually a game being open world just makes it worse for me.

I don't play many games like that so I can't really compare though. The big one is FFXV which I really like but should have just been hallways, the world does nothing for me

The big one is FFXV which I really like but should have just been hallways, the world does nothing for me the aesthetic really worked for me but that's very subjective of course. To try and keep a giant post on botw into something short, botw works for me because it's not just open world but one that seems contiguous, and one that wants you to explore it. ACO (a game I like) is a staccato world, heavily gated and bordered. The between 'thing of meaning' and 'emtpy but often beautiful' space are practically visible, it comes across as more of a fair with activity booths lined up for you to visit, just so long as you don't try to hard to visit them out of order.

Asscreed fails at world building because your horse has autopilot so you just read your phone between missions. Also the facial animation/character models look lovely compared to other AAA imo

I think the fact that the map wasn't littered with icons and instead you looked at interesting stuff from a vantage point yourself also helped a lot for me. The map in BOTW was really cleverly designed to make you almost always see potential cool stuff in the distance.

I said come in! posted:How can you play Odyssey and want to go back to BotW? Odyssey is everything i've ever wanted in an open world action RPG. The climbing is pointless in aco, you just go wherever, there's no sense of adventure or tension. In botw i learned to be able to look at a cliff face and know if I could make the climb on my limited stamina. The combat in aco is stiff as hell and not interesting in any new way. In botw i can turn jellies in to AoE weapons and use my shield to bounce on enemies heads. The world in aco is just a scale replica, which is cool for "realism" sake, but the game is so not about realism, it shouldn't have been. The main issue is how vegetation and mountains block the users sight from seeing the rest of the world. What happens is you end up just walking through a similar looking world with different topography, but nothing really functionally designed with player interaction in mind. In botw, they deliberately created a world that has sight lines in all directions, at almost every point of the map. This makes you want to see what's up ahead instead of just seeing a staring at a wall of trees. Even faron woods does this with mountains facing each other with multiple paths visible at different heights. And then quests in aco are the same as botw, but botw doesn't have an xp gate, meaning I'm not forced to do any of them to keep progressing. Instead the botw quests are to get you to see parts of the world you normally wouldn't, The snow bird quest being one of the best quests in gaming because of this. Finally world interaction peaked with botw. I can run to almost any tree in sight and fulfill my wood requirements. In aco i have to search out a single flashing twig in a forest.

Yeah, BOTW did a fantastic job of giving the feeling that I was actually discovering new and hidden things. Having the player be the one who puts the icon on the map rather than the designer or the automatic helper feature goes a long way towards maintaining that illusion.

Oxxidation posted:i tried AC:Origins and bounced off it harder than any game i've ever played, it didn't last an hour I tried to play black flag the other day since it's considered the latest and greatest in the series. It literally starts with 4 tailing missions over a period of a couple hours, it was miserable. Plus not being able to crouch, I don't get how people could stand it.

The on foot playcontrol in black flag feels loving terrible too. People like it cause after 10 hours you can gently caress off in a boat and never look backAndrast posted:Yeah the end reward might have been just a korok seed, yet another shrine or a disposable weapon but it still felt like I did something worthwhile afterwards The only rewarding areas for me were the castle, eventide, the banana dungeon, and the giant maze island.

Black Flag was good in that little space for a (relatively) small period of time. AssCreed 3 came out and bombed, there were a handful of mediocre, okay-but-boring sidegames. And it was considered generally more fun and exciting than games after it since Unity was a laughably buggy mess and horribly optimized, and Syndicate was England but by then the whole series felt like pumping blood from stone with the never ending onslaught of releases and how monotonous and one-note they felt. But AssCreed 4 absolutely does not hold up just in the sense of having almost no respect for players' time with unskippable long cut scenes and the much maligned tailing missions.
