-I find that with Zelda BOTW people tend to bring up the Witcher 3 alot to remark as to why its not as great as it is. Whether its the gameplay, weapons breaking or conversational trees. Most of those guys forget anyway that Zelda is at the tipping point of being an RPG, but actually isnt.

The few last of us haters sometimes tend to bring up the fact that the game is highly cinematic, but I always tell them to play the game on the highest difficulty. That tends to shut them up. If that doesnt shut them up then multiplayer generally does. Naughty Dog games are no slouch in the gameplay department.

 

I dont hear many people talking about odyssey or Red Dead though in a negative light. You cant find a better sole platformer than Mario Odyssey and with Red Dead you probably wont find many open world games that will stop what Read Dead has planned...not even BOTW.

I didn't like the first Red Dead and I have zero interest in platformers, Mario or otherwise.  Popular or not has nothing to do with it.  Red Dead I was pretty excited about and bought the GOTY edition and I've owned three different Mario games without ever finishing a single one.  They just did not end up being to my tastes and I have no problem with other people loving them.

While I liked Red Dead, I didn't like it as much as most players did. I laughed out loud the first time I tried to walk John Marston into water, watched the water remain totally static, and saw him insta-die at the speed of light as soon as it reached his mouth. I'll take the XB360 port of Gun any day....On topic: I'm in the "all of them" camp. All high profile games are going to attact a certain number of vagabonds who post negatively about them due to less than legitimate reasons, as well as the honest dissenters who simply don't like them as much as the majority for valid reasons.

Why cant we just respect other peoples opinions and accept we are not gonna agree on everything or love the same games, and thats it?
I guess I would qualify as "one of those people" who dont think BOTW is that great. I genuinely dont. I own the game. Ive played it for a month now. Ive finished it once with as much content unlocked as I could. I cannot consider it the greatest game in history. Im sorry. Is it a good game? Yes, it has great quality and design. I just dont it its anywhere near as great as fanboys want to make it seem. I just dont agree with your opinion. And its fine for me that we disagree, why cant it be fine for you?

All great games get that sort of treatment, so if all 3 deliver then all 3 will be seen as overrated by people who are not fans of those franchises.

I think they are all going to be critically acclaimed and great games, but I do think that out of all of them Red Dead Redemption 2 might be the weakest of the 3.

Maybe it's just me but Red Dead Revolver > Red Dead Redemption!!!!! It had style and really fun multiplayer. A much more fun game as far as I am concerned.

"TLOU 2 Has 0 gameplay."

I can see it now..

People said the same thing about Uncharted until they played it on crushing.

people compare zelda to those games cause sadly we don't have action adventure games with the scope of breath of the wild, and breath of the wild is even bigger than a lot of rpgs. So, if we compare breath of the wild with recent action adventure games like Mad max, shadow of mordor and Assassin's Creed, it's not a fair fight.

We need to compare the game with the bigger games out there and sadly the bigger games are in a different genre. (when I say bigger I mean everything not just the world) And Breath of the wild has more rpg elements than a lot of rpgs, but it's an action adventure game, it has been like that forever and that's why it's hard to compare zelda with other games because we don't have many games that mix so many gameplay elements.

Not much argument there, really. People will compare the closest things even though they are separate. Zelda paved the way for open world wrpg's so it makes sense for the comparison in a slight retrospective comparison. They are disregarding the rpg or non rpg elements and focusing simply on the open world adventure aspect which has deep historic roots. Regardless, it has brought us great games. BOTW is Nintendos great offering, and ive had fun playing it. Horizon: Zero Dawn has been compared a well.

It's not like they haven't been done before..... and better most of the time.

All of the above but it think TLOU will be criticized the most.

I expect the three games on that list to be spectacular, so methinks there's a 100% chance of people saying "it's not that great" lol

Mario Odyssey and The Last of Us 2 will probably get it the worst as they're console exclusives (as in the envy will be strong) :D
