This. They weren't joking about the "open" part.

I wasn't impressed to begin with, I'm just excited because it's zelda, nothing more. And pretty sure that's the case for most people. If this wasn't a zelda game people wouldn't be as "impressed"

It could be a new IP called "Fields of Dawn" or some crap and I'd still think it was the most impressive game I've seen in years.

Impressed? It looks like the GOAT.

I was impressed when it was first shown at E3 and nothing has change since then so I'm still impressed

Still looks like a low res mod of Far Cry 3.

Of course, more than ever in fact, looks like is gonna be the biggest masterpiece of the gen, that's why is having so many haters trying to convince themself and the others that the game looks nothing special when everyone can see how incredibly promising is.

And no the graphics have not been dumbed down, you are getting that out of nowhere.

Nop, this type of game has been done before, I don't really think it can be better than the witcher 3 or Horizon.

Such a revealing thread, should call it the "Never was impressed Club" as an hommage to "The Breakfast Club" or maybe like the other movie "Dogma". I find it very funny & yet it leaves me little bit sad at the same time, I shouldn't be so compationate, but what can I do, I love my fellow human race...

[Copy-pasted from a recent thread where I was asked the same thing]

For me, what makes it so much more appealing than a typical sandbox game is the amount of thought and nuance that's gone into the world and how you interact with it.

Vegetation can be set on fire, which creates updrafts you can ride with your sail cloth and is influenced by the wind. You can even set a wooden club on fire then hit enemies with it set them on fire, though doing so will degrade the club until it is destroyed. Trees can be felled for firewood, and if cut down into a river will float downstream on the current. Temperature varies not just by area, clothing, and time of day, but with altitude and proximity to fire; the peak of a mountain is colder than halfway up, and you can start a fire and stay by it to keep warm, except if it rains, the fire will be put out. The skeleton enemies will pick up their comrade's severed arms to use as weapons. Bokoblins can leave their weapons lying unattended while lounging around camp, and you can sneak up and steal them before engaging.

I could go on and on, but I honestly can't think of many other games that offer so many creative ways to interact with its world.
