Really?! Ha! Well I guess Im not crazy pants.
Eff yes!
Aonuma definitely put his own spin on it. I am curious how it all plays out. I do think as we approach photo realism graphics, developers are going to start catching up gameplay systems in new and exciting ways. Im ready for it.
Yeah, I never saw the appeal of Minecraft. Never played one minute of it actually. I don't like to dick around in games either. I want to move the football so to speak. Just playing around with assets is about as enthralling as watching paint dry. Maybe fun for a minute for the novelty, but otherwise, meh.
That's a nothing response that literally be applied to any complaint about anything.
I certainly hope so. BoTW is one of the few times where I legitimately felt as if, I wanted to do something within the game, so as long as I had the tool for it, it would work. With other games, developers have been able to have more dense, detailed, and active cities and characters, making them feel more alive. The advancements we're seeing is pretty exciting for me
I suggest Xenoblade! It's linear open, story based, and you might like it :P
This was my biggest disappointment. People kept telling me this, and it didn't end up being true. I just wanted to chop down a moblin camp by hitting the struts!
Right? I can't wait. I think next gen we are finally going to see some real innovations in this respect due to the better memory and tech. Gameplay, for the most part, really hasn't changed much over the last decade, but for a few examples. I think we start seeing some cool and interesting stuff due to technical advancements not taking a toll on the tech as much. But who knows?
For sure its been a slow 2018 for Switch after they came out guns blazin in 2017. There are a few games I have my eye on that might be cool.
I think people are missing to the point to why I thought it was pointless. As another poster mentioned the weapons are trivial. I never got attached to a single one. One broke I got another, I mashed y monsters died. It gets to a point when you've got such an Arsenal of weapons that when one breaks it doesn't matter you've got loads more. They are in such abundance and the move set so similar between them that switching between them means nothing, to me anyway, everything feels the same.
Well, the anime stuff is worse in this game than ever before, but hating the first one isn't necessarily an indication you will hate this one. In fact, for example, Aigis had disliked all the other ones in the series so far too, but he really likes this new one. Also, the combat isn't turn based either, so that should help.
Put me in that club. Fantastic game. Much like BotW, it's issues (pacing, backtracking, filler) didn't really hinder me from enjoying it's strengths (Dungeon design, inventive Wiimote uses for items, OST, narrative). I'd put it above OOT and TP actually.
That's true as well, there's enough coming out that you shouldn't feel the need to force yourself to play something out of some sense of obligation to a gaming platform lol :P
The bosses could've been better (I'm actually mainly just talking about their designs, Blights were too samey)
I actually don't necessarily agree with that. I think we've seen plenty of innovations and improvements to games over the generations, including gameplay. Detailed, dense, and living cities like what we see in modern open world games, fun polished online games that are smooth on a level we couldn't experience over 10 years back, and physics and systems that are polished to a shine. I can only imagine what we're going to see going forward
Well every game has its limits :P
Yeah, I feel that the game sometimes doesn't get enough credit for what it did right. It got quite a few major things wrong but I LOVED what it got right, somewhat sadly as I don't know if we'll necessarily see those aspects again, such as heavily integrated motion controls :(
I'd say that's fair, though Vah Medoh is way too easy.
The Divine Beasts were meant to be puzzle rooms, Hyrule Castle wasn't a "dungeon" in the same sense as the Shrines or DBs. It's accessible right from the overworld, so it's meant to be explored like an overworld area.
I would disagree, the blight bosses need to be reworked because all of them could be cheesed very easily and were pretty formulaic. The divine beasts kind of have the same problems, formulaic. All of them are obviously solved by the rotation the game makes apparent and some have very limited or useless rotations. They needed to make everything feel less same-y
The game literally supplies you more frequently with the weapon type you break most frequently.
See my post a couple of posts up. Didn't see you to include your quote before I made it.
Skyward Sword was amazing!
No, not really. We saw similar backlash and opinions for games like The Witcher 3, Persona 5, and The Last of Us. Most people still think The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a great game. It's just, as time has passed, people who previously may have felt that their opinions were silenced as theirs weren't as positive may feel that they're more free to voice their thoughts on the game
No the people that loved the game still love it.
Skyward Sword certainly took chances, but, I'm not too sure how well they payed off. I think there were some interesting ideas in regards to enemies and defeating them using motion controls (the three-headed snakes where you had to hit all three heads at the same time, for example) but, for the most part, basic combat was a chore, and sometimes the controls just would not cooperate. I did like the story and the art direction though (even though I think BotW has an even stronger art direction). I thought the filter that blurs objects to make them look "painterly" the further you got from them was a cool gimmick. And it had some pretty cool dungeons as well (the Ancient Cistern, in particular, is great). But, yeah, Skyward Sword is a pretty mixed bag, and that's kinda unacceptable when it comes to Zelda games.
I disagree that combat was a chore. The whole game was built around the controls and for me they worked flawlessly. They were not easy to master but when they did not work it was never the fault of the remote, there was something wrong with my technique.
Depends.
Really? Because there are quite a few strong contenders for GOTG. There are games like The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, or God of War that I think will receive quite a fairly large amount of votes, enough to make the GOTG vote pretty competitive
