That’s what my wife calls me.
Some people have no taste.I was willing to put up with all your bullshit until this last sentence.
I don’t know, I never get tired of playing W3, the side quests are incredibly satisfying. Trying to make a Heavy/Potion build now, always spammed Quen.I agree with you, BUT Witcher 3 is also boring and bloated AF.
I just can’t stand 200 hr Ubisoft open world games anymore.
I love that movie and all others from Miyazaki, but this is not it. Also Macross DYRL.To appreciate Breath of the Wild you must Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
I guess this is it. Once the initial novelty wears off I find it very boring to continue without a strong main quest and world building.It's not even a hot take. I'll add that it's not just ass, it's astonishingly boring ass.
Was it really that long?Tldr
Gatcha can go die in Gerudo Mountain fire.Genshin Impact is better imo
I would say BG3 has surpassed it in that regard.The world discovery is unrivaled.
I got bored probably around teh 40 hour mark but I continued to 100% the game until about hour 88. So ya I loved the game I just think it could have been a bit more exciting with more enemy variety.
The world discovery is unrivaled.
I get people loving the game for many reasons. But when people say its due to exploration, discovery and etc. I feel like i'm taking crazy pills
Sidequests are terrible, good loot is non existent. All you find are Korok Seeds and shrines.
It's one of the worse open world games in terms of exploration that I've ever played. There's nothing meaningful to find.
TotK improves this aspect slightly, but not as much as it should have
I kinda see your point since I've finished Death Stranding, and that game was all about the journey.I definitely understand your view. But for me it wasn't about the rewards. I didn't care that I got some sword or a korok seed for a quest or just exploration. One of my favorite parts of the game I remember early I saw a big hill I was wondering what was on top I worked my way up and I remember when I got to the top there was ... nothing. There was nothign there. Just some grass blowing in the wind with a chill soundtrack playing. That's when I realized the exploration itself was the reward.

Pretty much. Systems and gimmicks could be fun for some hours, but when you realize that the game doesn't provide anything worthwhile beside them it immediately falls apart.I guess this is it.

Sadly can't disagree.So with kids I gave up I will be playing on PS5 for the foreseeable future. So I embraced my Switch.
Recently I borrowed BotW, played for a few hours.
1. Graphics are bland. I guess it’s due to the art style.
2. Hyrule is empty AF.
3. Lots of busywork - hoard ingredients, make recipes (which are not listed anywhere so you need to memorise them and then manually add ingredients to make each dish separately, hoard weapons.
4. Traversal was novel for a few hours, then finding a temple with each basic puzzle inside becomes very tedious. Wow, I had this idea to run around the mountain for 10 minutes while trying to climb it to finally get to the top. Incredible experience.
5. Main gripe: story is non-existent, side quests are terrible.
So I gave the game back and installed Witcher 3.
Nothing wrong with being a tits man.
cry some more.
you honestly can't tell the difference between what ubisoft open worlds were doing and what the Witcher 3 was doing?I agree with you, BUT Witcher 3 is also boring and bloated AF.

I think Elden Ring beats it.I got bored probably around teh 40 hour mark but I continued to 100% the game until about hour 88. So ya I loved the game I just think it could have been a bit more exciting with more enemy variety.

did you just start gaming? why are games with production value and story being typecast as "cinematic movie games" seems like a way to pre-emptively excuse the games that don't have one lolSo you only like aaa cinematic movie games. Not all games are for everyone.
Honestly the witcher 3 combat was ok from i remember aft first but after you understand it becomes boring as fuck cause their is no challnge. this was years ago and combat has improved vastly though it probably shit for today stands just like zelda is.Personally loved the game, both the visuals and gameplay.....I take this over Witcher 3's crappy combat any day.
Elden ring is better in every category.I think Elden Ring beats it.
Not true W3 was a masterpiece as is ER is also. Both games are in my top 10 of all time.I also, I've noticed something...people that act like totk or elden ring is the second coming tend to not like the Witcher 3.
what both those former games have in common is...there is no story and you run around doing alot of fuck shit and/or fighting. The same dude bro that skips dialogue because all gaming is to him is reward and play play play. totk and FROM appeal to that gamer more than the Witcher 3 or mass effect does IMO

similar to how people in hip hop now call rappers with intelligent lyrics "lyrical" in order to categorize them away from the shitty rappers with bad lyrics lol can't just say they are better rappers now can we? same with games.
100% agreed.Better than TotK
let me talk slower...
Why, thank you.What a nice ass.
What? Both Elden Ring and TotK have story, they just not in your face all the time.there is no story

Some people just like flashy games. Nothing wrong with that. Not here to talk about rappers and "what year is it 'standard practices' and such.let me talk slower...
why are you using "cinematic movie game" to describe games that simply are video games with story and up to date production values?
should be standard practice in 2023 right?
I agree with you that Genshin is a great game, but I wouldn't tell GAF that you like a f2p gacha game. They'll skin you alive for liking 'unplayable trash'
Hot take: Your take is ASS and BOTW defined a whole generation on a potato hardware. cry some more.
