stop making these shitty threads and the game will be forgotten
correct
as funny as it is to see tendies acting luke the mentally unstable morons, this shit deserves to be buried and forgotten
Shroommeister ruins more threads with his weird random spam, go figure. He even had Conan/Nagatoro/Zelda shit pop up earlier but preferred animals in the end. He's one of the reasons it's best to only come to Ganker for NYE. He always finds a way to spam something.
Why does Ganker discuss a franchise for literal 8 year old so much???
Still one of the best games of 2023. Cope and seethe.
>GULP
>third party game from one of the world's biggest franchises outsells franchise stuck on one console
WOW!
>stuck on one console
But PC users are in the hundreds of millions?
You don't (buy) nintendo games on pc.
Now type that without crying
damn hogwarts sold 22 million on switch?
Erictroony, you lost and got raped 😉
And why did you post cinematic slop?
here, sorry anon I don’t know what you’re talking about, I come onto this board to talk about video games and filter eceleb threads and all that cancerous shit
I think I broke the bot.
>Eric SEETHES when its cope isn't accepted
kek, I accept your troonycession.
zamn people are making totk threads with the google image results top result cover art
I accept your troonycession, Erictroony 😉
YOU LOST
>When was the last time any of you even touched it?
Last summer when I beat it? It's a single player game. What's the incentive for playing the same game over and over instead of playing other games?
Playing it right now.
It's unironically weaker than BotW. Of particular note is the shrines. They are all designed as tutorials for how to make your own fun with Ultrahand and Fuse, rather than actual attempts at puzzles. Lots of BotW shrines were loads of nothing but even the weaker ones were modestly fun distractions rather than tutorial chores
TotK improves on BotW in every single way. It BotW look like a rough first draft.
Both games are amazing though.
The emphasis on fuse and ultrahand makes the actual process of playing a substantial downgrade. They are simply not wieldly to use.
>The emphasis on fuse and ultrahand makes the actual process of playing a substantial downgrade. They are simply not wieldly to use
Sounds like a YOU problem. Trying inventing a better shitpost.
Ultrahand, objectively, takes longer to use than any of the BotW powers. Fuse, objectively, slows the pace of the game to a crawl and increases menuing to its maximum.
>Ultrahand, objectively, takes longer to use than any of the BotW powers. Fuse, objectively, slows the pace of the game to a crawl and increases menuing to its maximum.
You're not even engaging with the world in the same way. Trust Gankertards to be this stupid.
Cool, just ignore this argument and tell you that orange is actually blue. Also, if you're not interacting with the world in the same way, how is one game invalidated?
I played this game on an emulator, and for whatever horrible reason, Ultrahand would never move in the direction you've selected it afterwards. So I always, always had to move the stick in the opposite direction so I could move in the direction I wanted; this pretty much made my entire experience with the game miserable.
Of course, you're a low functioning autistic moron and will dismiss this completely valid complaint. Instead of signifying your objective worthlessness as a human being, it's best to admit the game has problems, most of which stem from the size of Nintendo's team and the limitations of the Switch hardware.
>I played the game on a shitty emulator and it was completely gimped!
>it's Nintendo's fault!
Time for the rope.
>I played this game on an emulator, and for whatever horrible reason, Ultrahand would never move in the direction you've selected it afterwards. So I always, always had to move the stick in the opposite direction so I could move in the direction I wanted; this pretty much made my entire experience with the game miserable.
I played the game on the console and I also had the same problem. Ultra-hand wasn't fun to use for that reason.
You people really, truly are predictable and low IQ. You cannot go against your low-functioning autistic programming. Incapable of any higher thought. Just keep digging yourselves deeper and deeper into embarrassment.
Your ad-hominem doesn't disqulify my experience. Are you a nintendo-shill?
You sound trans.
TotK haters are low IQ morons with terrible taste in games or mentally ill Nintendo haters.
There is no exception to this rule. These schizos were seething about TotK years before it even released.
Agree, but TotK being an improvement of BotW also makes it less groundbreaking.
It's great, but not being completely new, different, AND great does make it less memorable and impactful.
No, it would have been if it didn't have homosexual build shit for zoomies.
>homosexual build shit for zoomies.
Spoken like a true zoomie.
>six years to improve a 1.5 version
lmao
Developer haven't even caught up to BotW.
TotK just widens the chasm between Nintendo and the rest of the industry.
ER and Death Stranding do what BOTW/TOTK tried to do better already. But you've never played a game off of a Nintendo console. Hell you probably haven't even play totk/botw, since this is your literal life (f5ing vee until a totk thread is made so you can autismo defend it)
>Elden Ring
Yes
>Death Stranding
Nah. Death Stranding actually feels more barebones.
ER is sincerely a bad game. The only good thing I can really say about it is that it’s aesthetically very nice. That’s it.
I never felt that playing totk was in any way better than botw and I think literal bugpeople keep repeating this phrase
No, because it has zero replayability and there's no reason to use the new mechanics outside of where it's intended. They made the main story too linear and the new stuff has no real value making BotW the only one you need go back to.
I took the 390 hours to 100%'d TotK. If I ever feel the need to play a similar game again I will just replay BotW (again because I already have - this is not a hypothetical) because it doesn't have moronic limitations and the stuff it's missing doesn't matter.
get rid of the absolutely useless building stuff and you improve totk, oh wait that's botw
>it has zero replayability
I'm on my 3rd playthrough.
get a life, that's like saying you're on your tenth runescape account
>are we finally able to move past the Honeymoon phase and pretending it’s “the best game of all time!”
DiCE Awards next week. Place your bets.
It will most certainly take Japan's GotY
I expected them to build and expand on what was presented in BOTW, but it's more like a sidegrade.
>I expected them to build and expand on what was presented in BOTW, but it's more like a sidegrade
This seething cope isn't going to work. More than 20 million people have played it and disagree with you.
See
Nintendo won the awards that matter.
You'll die seething in TotK threads lmao
>lost the biggest game award show
>”T-They won the awards that matter!”
The California troony Awards has been a joke for years now.
It's funny knowing that you're so utterly bootyblasted by TotK that you have to desperately convince yourself a better game must exist somewhere.
LMFAOO
>projects this hard
Utterly seething.
Post your BG3 save file. Bet you haven't even played it.
What does BG3 have to do with TotK? I haven’t even bought that nonsense
>The California troony Awards has been a joke for years now.
So BG3 is a bad game and didn't deserve the praise. Which means game journos can't be trusted, and neither can metacritic.
>Nintendo won the awards that matter
those on your image are not the BAFTA and DICE, mongoloid
>other nominees look somewhat disappointed but still are happy for the winner
>Aonuma is clearly upset and probably whipped Fujibayashi with a belt afterwards
Bowing is a sign of respect in Japan you troon imbecile
lmao nice cope, that wasn't a bow that was a keel over
>claps for the winner like the other nominees who didn't win
>somehow worse than the others
Are you okay anon
Remember when discord troons cried about how this was only going to be like DLC?
It's the eternal cope.
>BotW is just a tech demo!!
>TotK is just DLC!!!
Both these games are two of the most acclaimed and successful games ever made. And two of my personal all time favorite titles.
Nothing more satisfying than watching the troons on Ganker choke and fart blood with rage.
tendies will only admit it's bad when the next zelda is out
Yep
I can’t wait to see all the “THIS is the Zelda game I’ve been waiting 30 years for!!!” Suddenly disappear when the next game comes out and is actually original
It's funny how Gankertrannies now consider BotW a masterpiece after seething about it for 7 years, just so they have a game to compete with TotK.
Hee-Larious.
I'm replaying BotW before I get to TotK again but yes it's one of the best games of all time.
Did this game even have a serious honeymoon phase? It lasted for like two weeks (where people posted wacky clips on twitter/reddit/tiktok) and then everyone either forgot or soured on it.
nope, the game is utterly soulless
>DOOOD THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT!!!
meanwhile in reality it's all a bunch MMO fetch quest shit and absolutely toddler tier garbage made for moronic morons, wow put up a sign a trillion times zomg so much to do!!!!
Meanwhile... in reality....

WOAH
actually the game has 300 hours of MMO filler content
I wonder if all youtuber who were basedboying this game were paid nintendo shills
it was pretty bad, the building gimmick was not fun to use
it was downright annoying to use and all it amounted to was generic shit like wheels on a plank and no it's not an issue with creativity, nothing more complex serves a function
It's hilarious to watch moronic Ganker babies seething in denial, completely baffled as to why educated experienced game developers were blown away by TotK.
It absolutely murders every other video game.
https://streamable.com/9li0m0
Black person that shrine contains like 80% of the stormwind ark puzzles lmao, what a joke
It IS certainly impressive to those who know how games are designed.
The first part if this video, where the player fuses two poles and uses their combined weight to pull an unreachable chest down merely seems like a cute little puzzle.
In reality an other developer would be pulling their hair out for 6 months trying to make this work, and it would still glitches to frick in their final product.
This is literally black magic. The combination of abilities to fashion solutions is so satisfying from a player perspective.
>tendie has a epiphany seeing shit design to test crows
water is wet
Yeah go back to your dead sterile gaming world, handholding and way finder icons little baby
you dumb Black person that chest part could literally be solved identically to the starting area section where you have two logs glued together so that you can have it lean against the wall and climb up it
that's unironically the worst shrine in the game because every puzzle in it is not unique in any way
>puzzles have multiple solutions dependant on player imagination
Whoa. Why can't other games this well designed?
>a puzzle so dogshit you can get past it doing ten most obvious things is good because hecking options
I see puzzle games aren't for you, subhuman moron
Stop making totk threads. Nobody has perturbed that is anything except a shit dlc except for ten dies, for months. They're hasn't been a thread with genuine discussion since like may. You're the one keeping it on vee
Every thread is just spammed by that shit bot.
but it is the GOAT
Before TotK released, my belief was that it'd be fun and interesting but ultimately a little samey and that while it would certainly be objectively better than BotW it'd still feel worse by simple virtue of being a very derivative sequel
Upon release, everything I believed was proven 100% correct
this except somehow they made all the puzzle shit feel even more dumb which is baffling since it's not like botw had any difficult puzzle shit in it, but in totk that shit feels like you don't even have puzzles but instead the solution is given and your only engagement with it is to execute on it
>you don't even have puzzles but instead the solution is given and your only engagement with it is to execute on it
No that's every other Zelda game prior to BotW.
with old zelda games you at least had cool spectacle set piece locations instead of hundreds of AI generated puzzle rooms
I’ll give Totk one thing
They removed all those stupid moronic gyro puzzles
frick you those made me shit my pants when i first saw one. i thought it was really creative
that shit was straight out of mobile games from circa 2010
>you don't even have puzzles but instead the solution is given and your only engagement with it is to execute on it
No that's every other Zelda game prior to BotW.
somehow it's less irritating when you're not given that bullshit every 30 seconds
Thanks, but I still prefer Terraria as the magnum opus of all open world games.
>Terraria as the magnum opus of all open world games.
Terraria doesn't have a world.
It literally has a more interactive and living world than TOTK. FFS you can't even kill NPCs in Zelda.
Frick Terraria, but also frick open world games, the biggest problem with these shits are that there is nothing fricking going on. Games are games for a reason. They were better built when they had limitations because they weren't filled with pointless wandering.
>Red is pointless areas with nothing significant going on, just more walkign
>Green is content
Reddit Ring unironically has better gameplay density with a smaller open area design, and that game is fricking garbage
Why do people find walking fun? It's the worst part of any game when extended
ik it's so boring killing the same monsters hundreds of time. I wish the blood moon wasn't a thing so they'll STAY dead but then I won't be able to get certain items to upgrade armor sets.
no but my freedom to do whatever I want, as long as it's boring shit
I think my biggest complaint was that it felt too gimmicky, like it was trying to recapture the memetic resonance of BotW and it just came out feeling forced
I got back into it to try and finish it, and there’s definitely tidbits of fun, but the game is very much quantity over quality. It needed direction, because it felt like they were making content to meet a quota of playtime hours first rather than making that playtime mean anything.
1. open ended design means death of progression since you don't control what the player finds next, this means shit will need to be repetetive
2. some team was given a tasklist and a hundred bugpeople just fulfilled it, no cohesion
>1. open ended design means death of progression since you don't control what the player finds next, this means shit will need to be repetetive
Whatever do you mean?
Not that anon but I think he means that if the game has no "progression" in terms of gameplay, then whatever gameplay is available to you at the beginning of the game is the only gameplay that is available to you by the "end" of the game. If you haven't unlocked new ways to play the game, then you'll be repeating the same gameplay you had at the beginning.
that but also the final temple feels as easy as the first one, the hundredth shrine feels as easy as the first shrine, there's no build up towards anything
I got like 6 or 8 hours in and got bored. I played BOTW twice and there's already tons of physics toy games on PC, I feel nothing.
literally same, I already got whatever totk offers from botw so I felt burnt out from the get go with totk and it has nothing you'd expect from a sequel (lore/worldbuilding) so there's no reason it's the same gameworld
I sincerely think it’s the best game to come out in a really long time, and I can appreciate the attention to paid to physics in a time where everyone else is paying attention to only to graphics or other bullshit that makes for mediocre gameplay. The most fun I’ve had playing a game in a long time honestly.
It's just a remixed BOTW, a worse one at that, they literally took a pretty canvas (BOTW) and just threw garbage at it without much consideration of what made the first game good
It was also reflected in the online discourse, especially in viewer numbers as fell they rapidly across the board, from streaming to youtube
I have played many great games that I am not still playing right now. Especially that are this long in general. I don't know what that has to do with anything.
Anything over 10 hours has little to no replay value but it doesn't mean they aren't good for one go through.
I had fun, but it's not as good as BotW. I said the same things a little after launch when I had ~20 hours and you homosexuals were making threads about it then. You can frick off now.
You know why TOTK didn't land with acclaim, it's because the devs designed this game as it was the latter half of BOTW that was never made. Imagine playing Twilight Princess and the game ends after you get the master sword. Only for the other half to be released 6 years later. That is TOTK
Constantly playing TOTK I was so fricking disappointed that I would run into a reused boss like a Hinox and see nothing had changed since BOTW, when it made no sense that the Talus was the only one that had this care given to it. I always just thought "this is just more BOTW"
If Nintendo was smart, they would just combine BOTW and TOTK into a mega game and actually fix some things like the depths having no content or the sky being dead and nothing but crystal puzzles. I like BOTW, but I can't help but think we've been sitting on this wet floppy version of zelda for 12 years, with nothin small to tide over fans
>TOTK didn't land with acclaim
Kek'd you guys are hilarious. I should come to Ganker more often. Is it always this car-ey-zee??
It took a while but the contrarian BotWsnoys are in full force now, as expected of Ganker. They just cant help themselves. A clearly superior sequel comes out and they cant stand being part of the crowd, they want to be "unique" and daring.
Lineargays should've been ignored. You pretending an open world game being more linear is good is not the work of any snoys, schizo moron.
>BotWsnoys
are people finally admitting that BOTW is actually better?
only the ones who actually have thoughts regarding games
Honestly, this game did get honeymooned really hard. Nintendo should have made a real new Zelda game instead of Gmod DLC for BOTW. At least it had dungeons and a good villain again.
BotW had the exact same kind of dungeons.
The only difference in TotK is that they made the world around the dungeon part of the dungeon itself.
Which is funnier because most people still complain TotK didn't have them despite it being the only thing TotK did better than BotW (though it still could've used more content in the actual named dungeon location).
the dungeons themselves were better in botw as in the manipulation of the dungeons themselves was somewhat cool
>can't even enter the dungeons in BOTW or TOTK without appeasing the moronic NPCs
So much for freedom.
Dungeons in TotK are more than just Dungeons. There are entire handcrafted questlines built around them.
The Rito Quest, from Outlook Landing to the Hebra Mountains, the ascent in the storm, the Wind Temple and boss battle - was about a dozen hours of the finest open world adventuring I've ever experienced in a video game.
TotK makes every other game seem like simplistic dogshit by comparison.
>the rito quest is amazing
lol it's literally just a string of cutscenes.
>it's literally just a string of cutscenes.
But enough about AC6.
>Ac6 video is 90% gameplay with zero talking in it
>TOTK video omits 50+ hours of cutscenes where you watch link open chests and listen to NPC dialogue
And now comes the part where you reply to your post and attempt to samegay.
> where you watch link open chests and listen to NPC dialogue
as opposed to what, blowing around an empty map, looking for moonlight and exposition notes in the form of walls of text hidden around the map?
yeah, AC6 was a fricking bore. Ayre was a shitty fight. Ibis was the only fun fight in the entire game.
There is a reason why it flopped massively.
>AC6 was a fricking bo-ACK!
>posts a glorified cutscene
Ew, subhuman filth.
And didn't you whine about people mentioning troonyraria out of nowhere? 😉
>Ac6 video is 90% gameplay with zero talking in it
Why do you lie?
I checked and it is 100 percent cutscenes.
>The Rito Quest, from Outlook Landing to the Hebra Mountains, the ascent in the storm, the Wind Temple and boss battle - was about a dozen hours of the finest open world adventuring I've ever experienced in a video game.
I feel so out of touch when I see shit like this on Ganker, Black person you literally just talk to the birds and go from marker to marker as told to
Sounds like a YOU problem. Go play a shitter game.
what I said is true
Not my experience at all.
Like I said, you can go play an infinitely inferior game if you prefer.
but the questline literally is you talking to the birds, moving to the next location as told to, rinse and repeat until you're climbing the empty floating cubes
Nope.
From Outlook Landing to the Hebra Mountains I explored.
I found caves leading deep underground, rewarding me with unique armour.
I fought a giant ogre on a bridge.
I met Impa and learned more about the Dragon Tears.
I took a detour to the Forgotten Temple and discovered more lore of the world.
I found myself in a pant-shitting cat-and mouse chase in a cave, with first confrontation with nightmarish gloom hands.
I puzzle solved opening up Towers.
I explored sky islands and took part in an exhilarating skydiving game, and was rewarded unique gliding armour.
I set about a bunch of bokoblins only to have the tables turned on me when their camp erupted from the ground to form a giant rock monster.
I discovered loads of multi-floored multiroomed mini dungeons.
This is all before I even got the area with the main quests. Everywhere I go I was adapting to the world and using my own wits and resources to overcome adversity.
The sense of adventure, discovery and wanderlust is utterly unmatched by any other video game.
TotK rapes every other game.
Black person I played the game too no need to upsell it, I've had more exciting experiences playing dosghit like wow
Wrong.
Why are you lying about having played it?
I beat botw 2 times and totk 0,5 times
Erictroony, you lost and got raped 😉
I see we have cwc defending zelda
>tries to undersell the game
>gets BTFO
Yeah go play WoW troon. lmao
YWNBAW
It never registered to me as the best game of all time but I played it through to completion and enjoyed it. I put the game to rest like every game I play and moved to the next game.
Why has there been so much TotK schizo posting the past few days?
More than normal I mean.

or maybe you're too basic to figure out emulation
totk and zelda is looking and playing better than ever, and continues to improve.
how's totk emulation improved since release?
we've got vr now
Terraria, TF2 and AC6 are troony games
Last time I touched it was before BG3.
Finally beat BG3, but 7 Rebirth is coming out, so going to complete that first because I don't want to restart up TotK when I'll just get interrupted again.
Both TotK and SF6 world tour are on pause at the moment.
I played it for about 2-3 weeks, didn’t come close to finishing any part of it, didn’t make it to any of the dungeons just explored the sky areas a bit. I was burnt out on the BOTW formula before I finished the first game
Anyone else get burned out after just two games of the botw formula compared to the time it took for most people to grow tired of Zelda from OOT-SS (including the smaller titles)
You will never be a woman Erictroony :^)
>50 posters in 3 hours
Erictroony is having another meltdown.
Haven't played it but not because I don't want to, this kid I am babysitting likes to hide stuff inside the subwoofer, I suspect my totk cart is in there.

Some guy who haunts Famitsu threads and talks about how the Shitch and tendies are bad or something. Sadly, Nintendo fans have started using him as a catch-all boogeyman for anyone they don't agree with.
Didn't buy. I don't play nu-Zelda since it can't hold a candle to the actual Zelda kino

It's just a fun exploration based combat platformer. No fancy gimmicks or weird crap, you just get to explore and fight monsters and unlock new abilities. Nice and simple, they don't complicate it.

The colossal juggernaut known as BotW, was one of the biggest assfrickings this board has ever endured.
The schizos here spent years seething, coping and rationalizing the whole affair in their minds.
A direct sequel was always going to make them shit blood. The fact that the sequel, TotK, was yet another massively successful masterpiece only made them spray shit up the walls even harder.
Nice page 10 bump, Arthur.
