Holy freaking HELL does THIS guy "get it." Man, good for you for defending this piece of art  so brilliantly. This game SHOULD be reviewed based on what it set out to do not because it isn't like Resident Evil 4 or Okami LMFAO. Seriously??? How can you compare SotC to anything else when there is nothing like it. Period. Ok, maybe the game JOURNEY can be more closely compared. But come on.

How can you freaking possibly state the game is bad because you cannot enter villages or talk with fellow NPC's hahaha. Wow, it makes me laugh so hard at just the thought...a serious game such as this and a land so divine and forbidden, bit wait...a fellow pedestrian is out walking his dog and you approach him to ask, "hey I was just wondering if you would have any idea where I could find a REALLY tall and HUGE beast made of stone that wields a weapon???" I mean, this sounds absolutely ludicrous in the concept of this game, considering your character has a legendary weapon that highlights where to go, etc. This is just a quick example .

That is why reviews can be so dumb and misleading. SotC is an easy 10/10 because first of all it does its own thing and doesn't copy anything. Others will copy SotC. Also  it does everything it sets out to do so brilliantly. For me, there are hardly any flaws. Sure, the controls can be difficult for some but hey, I had a blast!

As much as your posts fascinate me, I think it's not too often we share an opinion. So, cheers!

But yeah it does seem that everyone who isn't a fan of the game or its concept sort of wants it to be something else. I never got this mentality of wanting things to be how you want them to be instead of accepting them for what they are. Obviously there's some games that just don't interest certain people, for example I'm not a big fan of tactical RPGs, but I'm not going sit here and start talking about how tactical RPGs should be like this or that because I understand that there is an audience for that type of game and I can just accept that and move on to other games that do appeal to my taste.

You know what? After re-reading my own post I have to say I myself am even fascinated by my post. I apologize, I really do get LIVELY when something is written that I feel I have to address ASAP. I get so attached to it on an emotional level as if I truly want someone to understand where I'm coming from through words. I think it's my PISCES that's in me.

And again, what you wrote makes perfect sense. I mean, if someone wants SotC to be something else well then...I guess you have Zelda games for that. Namely, BOTW which I feel took to SotC for inspiration on world design but in its heart is still Zelda. But yeah, SOtC is great because it's SotC. It wants to be different. It NEEDS to be different. And like Ueda himself stated, this level of "different" makes the game stand out amongst a sea of copy cats.
