Is Breath of the Wild really that good?

This thread contains everything wrong with this site.

Salty people who haven't played the game posting about it being poor.

Misinformation around framerate drops (digital foundry had the Wii u down as the worst for the framerate)

Some guy who hasn't played it saying the graphics don't look good on the VIDEO of a game he watched, do you understand graphical drop-off during the recording of games?

And finally people actually trying to remotely justify those ludicrous meta critic scores...

As for the op, i bought a switch to play it, I've only played it docked, on my 42 inch year old TV it looks beautiful, provided you can appreciate the art style which fortunately for me I do, I haven't experienced any framerate drops in my 20 hours of docked play.

We are getting hooked up on graphics though when game play is the main point of games, this rush for more pixels is killing the game industry, as plenty of CEOs have said, graphics are the reason games are becoming so overpriced.

The game play in BOTW is great, a little annoying how quickly weapons break, but it seems the better the weapon the longer it lasts so I see this issue tapering somewhat.

The world is beautiful and fun and full of things to do and see and when people say you have complete freedom it's true. After the plateau if you want to rock up and face the final boss feel free to do so. Otherwise you can explore, you are given a suggested direction but 5 hours later I haven't made it there because the world is captivating and distracting.

This is the joy of games that a lot of modern games lack, you absolutely lose your self in a fun immersion world with great physics full freedom and a beautiful art style.

This is what games are meant to be, that's why it got such a high score, and although I will find more frustrations as I play through at this point I think the hype is very deserved, smashes the pants off horizon which is sad because I waited two years for it and now it sits waiting for me to complete Zelda, at which point I will need to restart it.

Of course horizon has more realistic graphics, but who here doesn't like Pixar films because the characters don't look realistic enough?! The gaming industry is just ridiculously poisonous.

Sony put out a congratulations to Nintendo on their twitter yet their fanboys can't see past tribalism, and I say that as a very happy owner of both systems for every generation since the psone/n64

Woah relax, people make impressions and idea of what they like or dont like based on hearing, seeing, smelling and tasting all the time. I dont need to eat a 3 course meal to know that I wont like it, or why. 

Also calling people salty because they have a different opinion is not recommended.
