But for some reason, for Zelda, it's an insult? LOL? 2. let's just say Zelda created every feature EVER. "I can't think of a game that does it as flawlessly as this Zelda game is doing it. " 3. Lol see, this is basically what I'm talking about. You guys are literally acting like Zelda does everything, Zelda created everything. 4. You think Zelda is the first game to get transportation right? You obviously haven't played Just Cause. "Jumping off and going into gameplay: most open world games don't have this feature. " 5. Are you being serious? Why in the world would every game have this feature? What are you talking about? Why would Red Dead Redemption have you jumping off a horse into the sky with a gun? That doesn't even make sense. Games that need this feature, WILL HAVE THIS FEATURE. Assassin's Creed with killing people by jumping off the horse and killing them. Just Cause 2 with helicopters and cars. Why would Geralt jump off a horse into the sky with a SWORD. You are being absolutely ridiculous. "Cooking? Final Fantasy XV isn't out, and it is missing all of the crafting features Zelda has. To compare using resources in the world realistically with alchemy is silly. Zelda games had barebones alchemy before too (Skyward Sword, Windwaker, and Majora's Mask.) " 6. What? Why would it matter if Final Fantasy XV isn't out yet? Just what? They introduced Cooking in Final Fantasy XV years ago and just showed off cooking for cooking for Zelda a day ago. Omg..... how is it silly? How is cooking different from alchemy? Both use resources from the world. You think in games you don't have to pick herbs for Alchemy. Oh my...yes Zelda games also created alchemy....yes.... I can't...I actually got a headache from your post. |
1. Yes I am saying that. It has been the trend for most people to say things along the lines of "It is an upgrade for a Zelda game, but nothing new..." to downplay the game. If those weren't your intentions, then nevermind. If they were, then you know exactly that it is was downplaying.
2. Where did I say that. Don't put words into my mouth. I was just noting that many of the features in this game are nothing new for the series, so to insinuate that Zelda went from being archaic to what it is with this game is silly.
3. Again stop misrepresenting what I said, and read it. I said "as flawlessly", I didn't say it invented the mechanic.
4. Again way to build a strawman.
5. That is a silly argument. I can definitely see Geralt being able to jump of his horse seemlessly and strike an enemy as a plus to the game's mechanics. Sure, not every game needs this, but many that can use it and don't have it. The implementation of it in this game is a plus, one which people should rightfully praise.
6. Because isn't the whole point of the your argument that BotW is taking everything it does from other games? The implementation is obviously different here. But if we are to talk about alchemy, OoT had alchemy in its most basic sense. Just having something does not mean it is a good implementation of it. There is a such a thing as changing and innovating within pre-existing mechanics, or fitting them into a much wider picture. Cooking and alchemy are not the same thing. One determines survival, it is a necessary feature to persist (it doesn't necessarily have to give a bonus, albeit it could), the other is just creating an item that gives buffs.
