Is Breath of the Wild really that good?

Sigh... because i'm not blind and watching videos in the internet is a thing (also, i wasnt born yesterday)?

I will be getting to play it tomorrow anyways. I don't know why you are so offended though. All i said is that it isn't as revolutionary as Ocarina and that is obvious. This isn't the first open world game and it won't be the last, but i am pretty certain that the Witcher 3 is better.

OoT was not the first 3D game and it was not the last. Honestly OoT wasn't revolutionary at all. All of its mechanics were natural evolutions incited by the hardware -- the rest of the game is just holdovers from ALTTP. People have nostalgia goggles with the game.

 

Having played both the Witcher 3 and this game, they both have their different strengths and weaknesses. The Witcher 3 has a better story, and decent side-quests, BoTW has a better world, better exploration mechanics, and better combat. One is a story heavy scripted and mostly linear title (despite the "open-world" attribution) the other focuses on nonlinearity.

 

Watching a game on YouTube is not the same as playing it, not even close. That is silly to even imply.

Zelda was the first action adventure game i'm fairly certain. If not, it was the first one that matters anyways. It was a completely new experience at the time. BotW is a type of game that has been made in buckets last and this gen.

Heck even Nintendo made one in Xeniblade X before this.

Actually, the first open world that mattered was GTA3 on the PS2.
