It's a game not everyone is gonna like and that's fine, I'm sure there is something out there that will give you that experience like many had with BoTW.When I see people talk about this games I wish I had the experience that they had. I fire it up about once a year, and just can't get into it - mainly for the issues already raised here.
Dang, it’s already been 4 years? While it has its flaws the overall experience of completing BoTW was magical.
I tried. Put in maybe 20 hours. Kept waiting for it to get better and more varied, but it didn't. Not really. Compared to modern-day open world games, the world just felt too empty and flat, the tasks too repetitive. Loved most of the earlier Zeldas (have not played all, admittedly), but this one just did not do it for me. But whatever, like what you want.
Enthusiasm goes both ways. The more people hype this game, the louder those who dislike will get and that's fair.

Link to the Past and OoT were magical
Don't you dare besmirch the good name of Zelda with this shit
This is the normal opinion of someone who is not bat shit insane and actually thinks BOTW is a fun game
It's a directionless, tedious, highly frustrating game. You can't say that about ALTTP or OoT
I spent the night at Best Buy in my car to claim my Switch and BotW on launch day and I need to force myself to love it to avoid the buyer's remorse.
I own quite a few mainline Zelda games. BotW was the only one I enjoyed enough or perhaps stuck with me enough to complete. Not really a "omg, open world make everything better" kind of guy either.It's a directionless, tedious, highly frustrating game. You can't say that about ALTTP or OoT

Potentially, yes. At least it is Zelda but with most of the BS I hated removed, augmented or upgraded and a relatively generous helping (for Nintendo) of modern mechanics.It’s a Zelda game for people who don’t like Zelda?

While we are, of course, mortal enemies now
Yeah, people hated Zelda dungeons. /sPotentially, yes. At least it is Zelda but with most of the BS I hated removed, augmented or upgraded and a relatively generous helping (for Nintendo) of modern mechanics.
Though I suspect there are many more consistent fans of the series are quite happy with BotW than opposing edge cases like myself & Mr Fridge.
Pistols at dawn, come on then
I did. Not all of them but enough that they dragged by late game. Not really what I was getting at, though. Really the biggest change out of the bunch is linearity. All (almost all?) previous games require many hoops in specific orders (sometimes several grouped together in um... layers?) to get to the end. With BotW at least you can choose when it ends and more or less freedom to choose the order up to then.Yeah, people hated Zelda dungeons. /s
Pretty much sums up why its insanely overrated. People would give the game less of a hard time if people weren't overrating it to hell.It's incredible how this game sabotages every one of its mechanics
Here, one of Zelda's best combat system yet. But wait, here's also weapon degradation.
Climb everywhere! But wait, when it rains ... It'll suck. And it rains a lot.
Go anywhere! Actualy, don't. Not until you have the right gear for it, or you gather a lot of ingredients to cook a lot of food that makes you capable of exploring this area.
Here, have your horse! But you can't call it from everywhere. So always stay close to it.
Explore, there are thousands of things to find! Thousands of koroks seeds or shrines, I mean. Nothing else.
I spent too much time discussing about what I think about this game here, so I'll just leave it at that
I REALLY wanted to enjoy this game. It was the first game that I got for my Switch. But it tries really hard to make the experience less enjoyable at every turn.
It has so many design flaws that calling it one of the best games ever is almost painful.
how about you fuck off dip shit
Boom. great post.It's incredible how this game sabotages every one of its mechanics

You want next after Mr Fridge's duel or will all your one line responses be humorless and/or devoid of discussion on your part?
Kind of a pointless mechanic then isn't it?I get why the weapon system is polarizing, but I had no qualms with it - the game is designed with that in mind, so you never want for weapons.

I agree at first when I played it, it was something remarkable but after putting more hours into the game I noticed so much flaws that the game had. It turned me off from ever finishing the game.Probably the most overrated game of all time, imo
But whatever works with you, op
... But why is it designed that way? Despite making gameplay miserable, where you have to change 2-3 weapons when fighting a strong enemyI think it's a pretty good game. Liked it a lot.
