Just beat the fire temple. Easy boss, but why are they so spongy. It takes a like 40 minutes with all weapons breaking to kill a repetitive boring bosses. This game is really missing that good feeling to play. the vehicles also control like crap. Game is good but damn some choice really bring the experience down. like combat, breakable weapons and not having a horse like torrent of ghosts of Tsushima. |
Mile wide, inch deep fits the game play loop in TotK. There is tons and tons of stuff to do, but nothing on its own feels all that great. The sum is definitely greater than the parts as the parts themselves have many issues. The game works since you constantly do different things and that's likely why they kept the temples short and in segments, shrines even shorter. It's all served in bite sized lukewarm portions, the buffet is enormous and never ending so you can always pick the next tasty morsel.
While I enjoy the game a lot, the actual wow moments are not really there. BotW had them plenty yet TotK doesn't get beyond "that's pretty clever" but you can simply do this instead... And yeah the building. I get ideas, try some stuff for a while than run into the limitations of the game again. Either something disappears, breaks, stuff interferes messing things up or the controls and camera make it impossible. Plus you can never save, try something and go back to an earlier stage of any project. Auto build history doesn't help much, just soaks up resources. I rather have an undo option while building.
As for breakable weapons, it gets ridiculous in Gerudo. The weapons there make attachments stronger but reduce durability. There are tons of Gibdos around whose bones are good to fuse to weapons, yet it only lasts one hit lol.
I do wonder if I'm still playing it for fun or just for convenience. I have FF16 ready to play (and many other games) but it's always easier to turn Zelda back on than to get into a new game. Plus I still want to see the rest of the good parts. |
Yea i'm just playing it to finish it. I mainly play in handheld cause i can play it for 5 hours at work. I did the water temple and fire temple so i must have 30 hours left i think.
