Hey man at least you beat it, I got bored and stopped playing about 75% in

I don't know what to say. But all, all, those "problems" with cameras and controls and whatnot you're mentioning... just don't happen.

Seeing as I've never played the Witcher 3, you seem to be dealing in alternative facts, Kellyanne!

Go through my post history; your comment about my posts is absurdly rooted in fantasyland.

I loved this game, until the same, stupid mechanics kept coming up over and over and over. When I was searching forever for the 120th shrine, only to find that they decided to put only one in a dungeon...the final dungeon, I was flabbergasted. It feels like ages ago, when I first saw the overlook (after you exit the Resurrection Shrine) and told my brother, "this game is beautiful." It is still a work of art, but I can't overlook mistakes that even Destiny 2 doesn't make and are nonsensical for Nintendo to make. The only thing I probably won't do is the seeds, because I actually enjoy the quests and fighting, in spite of the lack of commensurate rewards and repetitive stupidity.

The game has a dodge button that is based upon relative positioning, and your relative positioning changes rapidly in several fights. That means that triggering crouch, when your intent is to dodge, is very easy to do. It's also why other games don't do it: it makes you defenseless, when you're most vulnerable. Ergo, games have crouch mapped to a button that you use to toggle it on and off with minimal risk of accidental trigger.

Putting sprint on the stick button makes a billion times more sense than putting crouch on it, which is why nearly every FPS does that. You are using the stick to move, so all you have to do is press the same stick to run.

Ultimately, you're one of the most sarcastic people I've ever encountered, so I'm going to chalk this up as classic Rol sardonicism.

That's the thing with Zelda games. No story. And with no story, how can you feel compelled to care about what you're doing and reach the GRAND finale when there won't even be one?

See? I don't care what anyone else says but for me in this day and age, story is almost as important as gameplay. I'd say it's like 55%/45% A game can be sooooo much more fun if you're having fun playing yet at the same time wondering what will happen moving forward with the story.
The Last of Us, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, Silent Hill 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Unchartd. MGS, Final Fantasy....you name it. These games are prime examples.

I like the story of The Last Guardian but tbh it's not the best example. It's the kind of game where how much the story impacts you is kind of left up to the player, you could adopt the mindset that it's really just a set of linear puzzles that are loosely based around a poorly constructed narrative, or you could adopt the mindset that it's "story" is great because it's main theme is expanded on via just playing the game. Either way, the engagement between the story and the gameplay of The Last Guardian compared to the average Zelda title is almost identical. In order to find the story of The Last Guardian impactful you have to connect the gameplay of every moment with the overarching theme, and that's kind of the same as Zelda. Both require the player to contribute to the willingness to find a story in what is mostly a storyless game. 

It's a little bit different though because the theme of the Last Guardian is apparent enough to make it seem like it has a good "story", whereas Zelda just has a story with extremely basic themes. If you want to say that the Last Guardian wipes the floor with Zelda because of it's overreaching theme, than sure, that might work. But then again, Majora's Mask wipes the floor with The Last Guardian in every conceivable department. 

Also, Prince of Persia and Silent Hill are not examples of games in "this day and age". 

I shall dub thee, "Starcastic."

Well, you think the crouch button should be on the move stick, so...
