I can't imagine it would be very fun to spend dozens of hours scouring the map then to jump back in and do it again. I can't imagine anyone WANTING to play them back to back considering they are hundreds of hours of gameplay and IMO you'd want to try something else afterwards lol

I'm finishing a few side quests to jog my memory about the world so I can appreciate the changes. Playing them back to back would have felt like a real slog.

I'm flying home Saturday night and have just ordered the game plus a second dock so I can play on the big tv in my basement. It'll all be waiting for me when I get home; just hope I'm not too exhausted after my night flight to get stuck in. I have a sneaking suspicion the game might be pretty good, you know.

I feel like 'reusing the same map' is hollow criticism if that map is filled with new things to do. I didn't mind it when Miles Morales did it for example and MM changed a lot less than TotK did. More games need to reuse assets and focus on improving fun stuff instead.

It's basically a huge expansion to a previous game with the same graphics and many of the same mechanics... I don't see any way it will be as brain exploding as BoTW or Elden Ring were throwing you into a completely new experience.

I didn't mind it when Miles Morales did it for example and MM changed a lot less than TotK did. i don't disagree but a huge part of why BotW was praised was the exploration aspect. Yes all the shrines are new and in different places, and there are a ton of sidequests, but Zora's Domain is still Zora's Domain. You don't get the wow factor from discovering it the second time round. I haven't played Spiderman but Yakuza is another thing people compare it to, and i'd say the reason it isn't a big a deal in those games is because exploring Kamurocho isn't the main focus of the game, you buy the new one for the story and cutscenes and sidequests. Another good comparison is Majora's Mask. That game reused all the assets from OoT but the map was different, the Zora didn't all live in the same place. it felt like a different game because of it. I've still sunk dozens of hours into it, but there is no doubt the game would have been better if it was a new map.

This was already soft confirmed during previews, but Part 3 of the Ask the Developers is up and they finally say the D word https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-9-the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-part-3/ We've only discussed the skies, but this title has its dungeons too, right? Fujibayashi: Yes, we haven't talked about the dungeons yet. They've changed from the previous game. For example, there is a dungeon that connects directly from Hyrule's surface. If you dive from the sky straight into the dungeon, you'll trigger an event. We think this will be a new experience that wasn't possible in the previous game. Dohta: We’ve made dungeons unique to their respective environments, so we think you’ll be able to enjoy the wide variety of regional characteristics. Takizawa: Making a "wide variety" was pretty challenging. The four Divine Beasts were the dungeons in the last game, and they shared similar designs. This time, the dungeons are huge and each carry their own regional look and feel, just like traditional The Legend of Zelda games. We think they will provide a satisfying challenge for players. They were certainly a challenge to develop! (Laughs)

So to you the game would be more fun if it had less content but the Zora lived somewhere else? Exploration is tied to there being things where you explore. That matters more than two games in the sane setting using the same layout.

superjew posted:Thank you for clarifying! I'm obsessing over this too much and terrified of seeing something big in the spoiler thread. I blew all my gems on rupees that went to great fairy fountains and I don't even have the house yet. It was years ago but I remember one person who had spent 200 hours just on the Great Plateau before leaving it. I wonder if they've finished yet?

I loaded up my 3 and a half year old BotW save for a little while the other day to get a feel for the controls. It's probably a good thing that I didn't do much exploring so the map will feel mostly fresh to me  Plus with all the new systems, I'm sure I won't even care that the locations are the same as stuff I played years ago.

I'm looking forward to seeing if the invisible borders are in the exact same areas on the map and want to try and make flying machines to check. Less than 36 hours to go

Gives the right fuzzy memory and timegap to match the new game.

You actually remember maps? That poo poo just evaporates out of my brain as soon as I'm done with a game. Like I've re-played Resident Evil 4 remake 2.5 times now and I still get lost.

Like I've re-played Resident Evil 4 remake 2.5 times now and I still get lost. Not 100% because it was 6 years ago but i did do every shrine when i played it. Like i know the Rito town is in the northwest next to the mountain and can picture how it is laid out around a stone pillar, and the Zora town is in the east in a basin with waterfalls going up the mountain behind it. Same with all the landmarks like that mountain in the east that is split in two with the river running down the middle, and the jungle in the south, and Hateno town. I might not have been able to perfectly recreate the map like a savant but i have a general mental map, and once i see a place in game again it 99% returns.

My preorder of TotK on Gamestop says it arrives May 15, but I'm pretty sure that it said it would be delivered the day it comes out on the 12. Anyone else?

Welp, all I can say is that I'll take new content over spending a billion loving hours make wide empty areas over and over. Rockstar already sucked all the fun out of that.
