Watch this video and be amazed. But seriously, I thought I knew every detail already.

People who avoided PC, PlayStation and Xbox continue to be amazed about the first and only open-world game ever made.

funny as fuck considering I only play botw on PC and the switch is my first Nintendo console ever, maybe I'm not a fanboy and I can admit it's the best console exclusive open world without feeling some sort of way. Sony and Xbox needs to do their homework, man!

The game is as shallow or as amazing as the creativity of the player. A real masterpiece in game design.

One of the best games ever made. I was hopeful we'd be seeing other studios starting to copy some of it's ideas by now, but seems like most were just happy to keep the status quo.

Thees things are so small but also make the game great. A lot of these I didn't know about.
I recently started playing this on a new save in Master Mode. It has been long enough since the first time I played it that it is still great. I am probably going to do 3 heart run. Currently still scavenging and avoiding most combat. Select my fights wisely. Finding korok seeds. And Slowly upgrading my weapon inventory.
It is fantastic.
The people shitting on BotW never get into why this game is great. The fact they have all these animations and sounds for seemingly mundane things is why BoTW can be appreciated on deeper levels. That plus the gameplay loop is offers a lot of options on top of just being fun.

It is because this level of connection between all the elements in a game is really hard to pull off.

Do you know you can use magnesis on big weapons to make a portable shadow at gerudo desert. I'm a fan of the game and that blew my mind.

That would actually make a lot of sense, why switch fanboys gush over this game.

One of the greatest games ever made. Puts games on much more powerful hardware to shame.

Despite posts showing surprise at there being things they didn’t know, people are still quick to throw in their know it all superiority and proclaim they will never watch the video despite the OP saying “I thought I knew it all”.
There’s some basics in there, but I’ll be surprised if people can watch it and learn nothing at all, as some is glitches. You have to be super into BotW (or at least the videos like this, the one you’re claiming is shit without watching) to know all it all.

Eh, the nature of today's online world almost necessitates a title like this.
Also, the maker of the video is very knowledgeable with regards to BOTW (go check out his other BOTW videos) and some of the 48 things are contributions from the community. Not all of it is equally mind-blowing but there are quite a few good details highlighted within.
But I guess your brain went "BRRRR" upon reading "GameSpot".

I don't think that's necessarily the case. In a fantasy world developers could just snap their fingers and copy the mechanics that they admire and it'd all work seamlessly together.
But this is the real world: not all of BOTW's mechanics can gel with the goals that another game might be going for.
Eg. Being able to glide anywhere is great but if you put that into a game like Horizon: Zero Dawn, you'd have a narrative that would get messed up because the player was triggering flags out of order.
Anyway, I'm very hopeful that BOTW2 will be amazing, especially since BOTW is a fantastic foundation to build upon and it no longer has to keep the Wii U in mind.

I learned like 6 new mechanics that enhance gameplay, I thought it was going to be garbage but it's actually quite good.

yeah i was just thinking that while reading through the comments. it's really getting that way in every thread. people posting and replying just to stir things up or waste time. I'll admit it being from gamespot doesnt make me feel confident in the video though. the game it's self is one of my all time favs though.

i beat it on switch and know what you mean. you should check out cemu emulator on pc. 4k 60 fps and graphics tweaks. makes the game shine like it truly deserved.

I understand the criticism of the breaking weapons and stuff, but I honestly thought the more free form recipe system was a really good move for this game. Once you understand the basic recipe, it just works: Combine 5 items between three categories protein+flavoring(salt/spice/herb)+modifier. In my opinion, it made a lot more sense than a recipe book system. My biggest complaint with this system is that it took too long to make multiple dishes.

Hey, I played the game from start to finish TWICE )on PC, so with good visuals and performances, too) and I liked it, but I could go a fair week or two without another autistic compilation of "DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO THINGS IN THE GAME?".
Yes, I did know. Thank you.

I go back and forth on this point. On one hand, the backend engine of the game was shocking to me the first time I played it expecting Twilight Princess 2. On the other hand, they need to fix a lot of annoyances in the BotW 2 and get rid of the Ubi towers.
What's your personal Game of the Generation and why does it succeed where BotW failed for you?

Awesome quality post! Demeaning, sarcastic and off topic. Smh. Just awful energy all around.
Maybe change your username, you're giving toad a bad name.

to be honest the "cooking" system is so shallow the game doesn't really need one..for a game that incentivizes experimentation, there isn't really enough dept to actually need one.
