| curl-6 said: It's interesting, I ran this same poll on Famiboards, one of the biggest Nintendo forums, and the result there was the other way around, with TOTK leading by about the same degree to which BOTW is leading here. |
Perhaps different age demographics?
I find as I get older I value 'quality' more in games versus 'quantity'. My younger self would probably have preferred the infinite tinkering possibilities in TotK, while now I prefer a more coherent experience which BotW delivers. I did mess around a bit with Ultra-hand building yet nothing to the level of how I went at Minecraft a decade ago. And totally different from how I tinkered with games and mods when I was in my late teens early twenties.
I also have a lot less time to spend on games nowadays and messing around with ultra-hand for an hour would be my entire gaming session while back in my early twenties I could easily go 6+ hours or all night trying out stuff. Ultimately ultra-hand felt like a distraction, taking time away from enjoying the game. Probably also why BG3 isn't appealing to me anymore. Too many options, so much inventory work and selection wheels limiting my time in the game.
In BotW I did have much longer gaming sessions compared to TotK for the reason that exploration is now the most addictive part of games to me. TotK had that a bit in the Depths, yet after the Depths my gaming sessions were much shorter in TotK.
