People were already not happy about the horse controls getting better the more the horse likes you in BotW. Or didn't even know it was a mechanic and complained about their two star, untrained horse having bad controls lol. Or were suprised you could feed them apples. More complex and complete characters are somehting they can easily find in other games. Witcher 3, the Last of Us, and so on. If they want Zelda and Link to be on some sort of journey together, Last if Us would be the first game I look to. If I want side missions with more narrative focus, I'd look at Witcher 3, not RDR2. And if they lose their "environmental clues to the destination" approach of BotW, which is superior to both W3 and RDR2 from a gameplay point of view, they can miss me with that.
Look at what I've underlined, yeah you are blinded bruh.
So can you actually adress anything that I've said? Am I wrong in saying Witcher 3 does side content narrative better than RDR? Or Last of Us characterization? I'm "shoving RDR aside" because of my opinion that I have formed on something you refuse to adress for some reason. All I'm saying is that the areas which they could get inspired by are better done in other games. Your analogy makes no sense. I'm not sure how my opinion of BotW factors into me saying I think W3 and TLoU did narrative and storytelling better than RDR2. Do I think RDR is better in those aspects than BotW? Yes. Do I think that's still not the game they should draw inspiration from? Yes.
This is my last post to you about this because I refuse to spend anymore time with this. This is silly.
Because it's Era and people are still salty at RDR2's overglowing praise.
Cool, this is a discussion board where people share there opinions. I'm really sorry I shared mine. No opinion on here matters when it comes to the motivation of dev teams, I'm very much aware of that. Thanks for this incredible insight.This is my last post to you about this because I refuse to spend anymore time with this. This is silly.
Read slowly at what I'm saying here. You're bringing up other games and saying "well these games do it too if not better and that's based on my opinion" and I'm telling you that your opinion doesn't play any factor into what inspires these developers. If they've played those games and those games inspired them? Then great. They're being inspired by RDR2 here however and that's the game that they think improves their formula, that's the one that's making them think they can do better. For some reason you can't fathom the fact that these people see something in a game that you don't see so you're trying to bring up other games that you like when the reality is not everybody shares the same experiences. Rather than looking at the article and going "ok, well I don't think that game can help them but if it does help them then cool" you're going "well fuck that, the game sucks, they need to look here I think these other games do it better" and that's stupid because at that point you're placing your own experiences ahead of others when you're not the developers of this game nor are you placing any importance on the fact that RDR2 is helping them. It doesn't matter if you think other games did what RDR2 did better, what matters is what's inspiring these developers and what you're suggesting isn't it.
Again, you're saying "dump that girl you're dating and date this one, I know because I've dated her" rather than saying "well I don't know what you see in her but if makes you better than I'm all for it."
If you don't get that then that's your problem because the difference here is that you're placing more emphasis not on the fact that they're inspired for a new game but the fact that it's a game you don't like. That's a problem.
If you don't get it after this post then again, reread my post because this is the last time I'm talking to you about it.
Your analogy is forced nonsense that still doesn't make any sense.
You could say the same for everything that's popular.
I'm not sure one-note is the word. The main story characters, sure. But the NPCs in the game just have the problem of somewhat weak writing, like a lack of inspiration to them, I think and most of it is pure meandering. There's not a rich thematic depth to it. There is some ludonarrative depth of the waking up 200 years later and exploring the world that was established by the character you play as but in the past when their motivations were in the hands of the designer instead of you.
Not sure if serious, but I've been in enough TLJ threads to know lots of people think it is.
