Savy Saracen salad posted:Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up, she was making GBS threads brown water. The more she drank the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew. That passage is great but the thread about the books have broken many of minds

People like exploring the world and finding cool stuff. Hell that’s the whole appeal of BOTW and that world has nothing intersting in it

Yeah I’m not sure what having NPCs marked would ruin the experience or whatever people have convinced themselves. But souls games enthusiasts tend to be kind of weird if I’m honest

mcmagic posted:The last few open world games that i kinda didn't get into had too much poo poo going on on the screen. I think GoT was an improvement in the genre but for the most part, less poo poo on the screen is better. I mean those games the markers only exist to give you more busy work. They aren’t really giving you any vital info

FishMcCool posted:Some bits overdo their welcome imho (Anor Londo or whatever it's called), but otherwise it's absolutely one of the good 'clones'. The art is neat, the ridiculously oversized weapons are magnificent, the build system is amazing, and it makes for some solid combat. I'm just incredibly underwhelmed by the (lack of) fashion. Very few clothing/armour options, and veils are limited and generally ugly. It was definetly not a game with a very big budget. So there are stuff that feels cheap

deep dish peat moss posted:This is a positive review I’m still kind of confused so he’s saying that the areas marked on the map had stuff in them so that makes it like an Ubisoft game? Is he saying the stuff itself is filler or just having points with content like an Ubisoft game? Because those aren’t necessarily the same thing but they can be

The first half is a bunch of complaints and then it flips it around and says "despite all that this game is loving incredible"
|
Okay reading it I understand the complaint, the map seems to have ruined the sense of exploration for him but I don’t think he understands that. So a reviewer failing to understand his own opinions seems bizarre

Appoda posted:Getting weirdly upset at Waypoint reviews is a time-honored tradition. Like lol, she just had a pretty normal experience of "this is great, and here's some things I didn't like" and half the thread gets into video game culture wars. I do think some things she said were a bit nonsensical. Though the map ruining things is something this thread has said before (in fact today)so they can’t get to mad at that

Appoda posted:Here's the thing, I'm sure there's a bunch of nonsensical arguments and observations in the 1000 other gushing reviews, but those aren't going to get any actual criticism because they fit in with the group think. I dunno, I think it's fine for people to come to weird conclusions, or even :gasp: be wrong about video games. I mean you should never freak out over a review but this is pretty mild so this just seems like a pretty big overreaction.

Harrow posted:Have you ever played a Souls game? Because this is how quests have always worked in those. They are obscure, you probably won't find many of them on a first playthrough without a guide, and you definitely won't complete many of them on a first playthrough without a guide. Many players will finish the whole game and have no idea they even encountered some side quests. These quests aren't "content" that you will "miss" without a quest log and pointers, not in the way that side quests in Skyrim or The Witcher or Horizon would be. I have I use guides for NPC quests generally. A log wouldn’t change the game it would just make it easier to cut out the middleman

What’s funny about this whole discussion isFROM does do QOL stuff just pretty slowly so I wouldn’t doubt it they made a new game it would have some log making this whole thing pointless. Monster Hunterwent through its own version of this
