Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'm pretty anal about time management, and so I'm usually good about pacing myself, but my god do I lost track of time playing this. The other night I turned the gave on at 5p, finished playing, and was expecting to eat dinner at 7, only to find it was 9 already. It was kinda scary in a way. This might be the first time I've genuinely been addicted to a video game.

Same, I played around 65 hours and I still am not on half of game, from day of release I didn't play this game just one day, so basicly I played it every single day from day of relase, this game is so addictive.

After finishing university, during the 6-7 month period I was searching for jobs, from 9 am to 3pm, I just played Fallout 4 almost every weekday and playing in Survival, I'm not even close to finishing the damn thing

It's definitely the most engaging Zelda title to date, imo it's because of the sand box elements the series has always been open world but the were limited things to do in them so going massively open world and adding sandbox elements for people to play around with was really smart. It's like how GTA has many players who buy it just to mess around with the mechanics without bothering much with the story.

S.Peelman said: Me! Though I guess that's not really a surprise. At almost 70 hours now (68 and a bit), which means I've almost matched my first-playthrough record on a Zelda game. This was 73 and a half hours on Skyward Sword, which I 100% in my first playthrough. Obviously for Breath of the Wild I'm not anywhere near 100%, still only one dungeon done and maybe a quarter of the map explored. About 40 Shrines and 70 Korok Seeds with probably still plenty more to find in that quarter of the map I uncovered thus far. This game is endless, just huge, and the longest I played in one go until now was about 10 and a half hours last weekend lol.

Is BotW going to top OOT and Link's Awakening???

Nah those two's positions are safe.

Twilight Princess's 3rd place spot is on shaky grounds now though, but we'll see. I do agree with Wyrdness above that this is however definitely the most engaging game in the series to date due to the physics, the exploration and variety of the world.

Same. It's probably my favourite Zelda game, which my favourite franchise of all time. So, yeah, BOTW is my GOAT right now. I've played around 80 hours and I still have a lot of stuff to do, like finding the last 30 shrines that I lack. I'm giving it a pause though to beat Blaster Master Zero, a game I'm really digging and Specter of Torment. But after I beat those another Hyrule exploration is mandatory XD.

Which bothers me about BOTW, which is not a game's fault at all, is that playing other open world titles feel now.... very restrained. I'm beating Horizon on my PS4, and even if I think it's a great game, the fact that I can't climb/go wherever I want, whenever I want is... bad. Man, I wish every open world title takes more inspiration on BOTW. 

Funny how the game doesn't even focus on her clothing. She's a badass, and yet they're putting misogyny where it shouldn't be.

How about that complain about link being shirtless? With their logic, it is misrepresenting poor, innocent men.

OK, I'm convinced we're the same person. Blaster Master Zero is awesome! I'm sure you'll love it. And Zelda is my favorite everything :)

Yes and I love it! And the most shocking thing is: after much debate, Zelda's voice is more than fine. When you gather the memories, the British accent is absolutely seductive. Actress does a very good job when Zelda has lots of lines.
