Forums - Nintendo - After playing some of Zelda: Breath of the Wild...

i have to say although i loved the game, I'm in the camp that misses the long dungeons. I've been holding out hope that the DLC will take place in the past and feature at least 4 dungeons , i.e. I kind of hope this is the story of finding and restoring the divine beasts. They could even do it slate free.

Of course they are not. Those two series are trash.

Yes the Xenoblade series can work for you, Dragon's dogma that just came out can work for you. An mmo like GW2 can work for you. Those are good sandboxes. Fallout 4 (3 and vegas), Skyrim can also work for you.

 

You just have to pick good games and not the games hyped by the billion dollar companies that are actually repetitive and boring.

AC and Mordor. They are very repetitive games. Though Mordor is better than AC by far, they are both light on story and extremely repetitive with little interesting to discover in their sad sandboxes of walls.

Yeah I'm not a fan of AC. Tailing an enemy while they dump exposition and having to wait until the game arbitrarily decides you can go ahead and kill them is very tedious. Having said that, I honestly also found the only Fallout games I've played (3 and Vegas) boring as hell.

In fact, I would go so far as to say I'm not a fan of open world games in general; that I still adored Botw speaks volumes of how ingenius it is.

Another thing I noticed about Breath of the Wild is how the dungeons are objectively worse than past Zelda games, and somehow I find them much more fun. If I were to try to put my finger on it I'd say it is the length of them and how there's almost always something fun to in them.

The game is the first one since Link to the Past where the Overworld feels more than just something you walk along with obstacles to get to town or the next dungeon.

I really like dungeons in BotW, only complaint I have about them is why there inst more of them, and that bosses were somehow similar.

You werent wrong. I looked for it after someone else brought it up in the options menu. Yes, I will definitely be using this for my second playthrough. Thank you. :)

Play with Pro Hud right away don't wait another play through, its much better experience and perfectly fits with exploration of vast world, you will start pay much more attention on surroundings and world itself. Ofcourse if you are lost or you dont know what are you doing you can always look in map.

The thing about BotW dungeons is that you dont get Water Temple'd in them. You go in, you do your business with whatever fun gimmick and get out. And they also each have a set piece, something most other Zelda dungeons do not, which kinda makes up for the samey bosses.



Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!!!!


Zelda was my reason for owning a Switch and all together the Switch, Zelda and Pro Controller had me spend over $550. Every cent worth it. Aside from Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2 my next game is Mario Odyessy. Zelda so far is my GOTY by a mile. Well worth the money and 100+ hours of gameplay.

BoTW is not a game that does anything innovative despite what people say, it does mix styles and themes (vibes) but it does not do anything new by itself 

I must humbly disagree here, I simply can't think of any other open world titles with as much organic interactivity as Botw.

"All of those other games essentially has little no interesting things to do on the way to your next mission outside of fulfilling an monotonous objective that eventually is copied by similar games" I hope you're not including the witcher 3 and horizon in this description.Don't write off the rest of gamings greats because you are blinded by that "omg, best game ever" feeling.
I expected more from you STAGE, i didn't think you'd become one of these hype drones. smh.
I think BoTW is up there, I've stated my feelings on it many times in these forums, that being it's great as games go just not up to the level that people hype it to be, even after recently spending a weekend with it and coming away with a score of 8 in retrospect I've upped it to a solid 9 after a few more hours but in my opinion journey like walking simulator vibes and action RPG's vibes should be kept at a distance from each other. It works here to some degree and I understand why many people love BoTW and why it has achieved such status, even though I don't find it to be worthy of such status, what I can't abide though is that people who hype it up to such levels seem the need to attack every other game out there that seems to compete with it directly.
BoTW is not a game that does anything innovative despite what people say, it does mix styles and themes (vibes) but it does not do anything new by itself nor does it beat out the top RPG's or take anything away from traditional game design.
Open world games, RPG's and action games should not stop and suddenly become BoTW in design despite what you say.

Soooo what new innovating thing does the Witcher 3 or Horizon do since you seem to be silently defending them while ditching Zelda at the same time?

I play alot of RPGs and Zelda plays completely different to any other RPG iv ever played. I dont know how to explain it, its one of the games you have to feel it no just look at it type of scenario. 

You are debating against many reviews and millions of people here. Nothing wrong with a good opinion, something i do alot. However i am curious to know what separates the games above that you mentioned?
