| Normchacho said: Of course there is stuff to do, I never said there wasn't. But, again, compared to other open world games it's pretty empty. You also act like this is the only game with more than one way to get around. Which certainly isn't the case. The issue isn't just that there's a lot of space between things to do though. You could have a world with the same amount of open space, but if it's filled with a diverse array of scenery and life, it's going to be more interesting to travel through. From what we've seen so far, the open spaces in BotW are pretty baren. I'm watching a section of the Treehouse where he's running through woods, and even this is pretty empty. There are certainly more trees, but animal life is still pretty rare, and there isn't much in the way of underbrush. Things like that could make the spaces in between actual things to do more interesting. I also didn't say Zelda had bad game design. Because it also doesn't have a realistic world. Like I said, you don't spend hours climbing mountains, you don't have to walk/ride for miles to reach objectives, you have to stop and sleep for several hours each day. I'm saying that game worlds are made to be enjoyable, not realistic, so saying that it's a bad thing to have a dense world because it isn't realistic is silly. |
You're not getting the point, you're saying that it has less wildlife running around or what not but that is made up by the sheer number of activities you're doing, the game doesn't need what you're complaining about, those trees you're talking about for example all can be cut down for resources or picked for fruits that grow back, this is something other open world games that have what you say don't feature. In one part of the stream they cut a Skeleton enemy's arm off and picked it up as a weapon and kept it, in another they lit a small fire and the wind caused it to spread and burn down an enemy camp, in another they used their shield as a snow board sliding off a cliff then gliding and latching on to the mountain opposite while another part they set the ground on fire causing warm air to rise then vaulted off the horse used the glider to maneuvre in mid air over the rising warm air to fly even higher then fire arrows to take down a mini boss that they encountered while exploring.
The new Zelda is not the only game to do some of the things it does but having played a load of open world games including recent ones I can't think of one that does eveything I seen it does in one package with out the use of mods, you're arguning one major thing across all games which is fair enough but from the stream the are a tonne of little things in the new Zelda under the surface that make up a far bigger picture.
