      Anyone calling this game dlc has not played the game and it shows. Holy shit this game has you guys so mind broken its hilarious. Do you guys genuinely think if you scream "dlc" enough people will actually believe you?

        You realize that Blood and Wine added more to Witcher 3 than TotK did to BotW, right? And that's a legitimate expansion pack that only cost $20.

            Blood and Wine was an entirely new map with entirely new quests. The underground and sky areas only make up a small part of Hyrule, most of the map is still reused.

            >TotK is 3 times the size of BotW.
            Now this is a full-on lie. Imagine thinking the underworld and sky islands come close to reaching anything near the original map size.

                Toussaint is a bit over half the size of Novigrad+Velen. So it more or less added a map the entirety of the size of BotW with a $20 DLC, one packed with things to do and 20 hours of quests, over 40 if you do side quests too. This was an entirely new map that was not in the base game and used new assets.

                The underground in TotK is sparse and the sky islands are not plentiful. Take the L, a $20 DLC added more content than a $70 "new game".

                You can't even refute the point. I never said it was bigger either, just that it added more new content. As in, less recycled content. It added more enemy types than TotK did too! How funny is that? Over 20 brand new enemies that weren't in the base game. You're right, we shouldn't call TotK a DLC because even DLCs put in more effort than Nintendo did for this brand new $70 release.

                While that anon is a homosexual for defending totk, witcher 3 isn't really a great cudgel to beat it with since it sucks enormous donkey wieners. For instance, adding more enemies than totk doesn't mean much when that enemy variety is mostly cosmetic. As bad as both botw's and totk's enemy variety is, some of them at least do different things. It's also probably the worst implementation of an open world I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. Even assassin's creed games are less about bouncing back and forth between map markers. I dropped that shit in novigrad and have never even tried to pick it back up. I got it on sale years after it came out and I still felt robbed.

                That's not even that contrarian of an opinion anymore. If I had just waited a year or two I wouldn't have gotten tricked in to buying it as the discourse around the game has shifted significantly from it being the best thing since sliced bread to people at least admitting that the combat is awful.

                Lmao. Even if that were true this is such a dumb hill to stand on since the worlds function vastly differently. You don't actually interact with the world in TW3, it's just set dressing for you to look at while running back and forth between quests and the only thing breaking that monotony is the shitty combat. BotW/TotK's gameplay is in large part interacting with the world and the world is specifically designed around that which requires an entirely different design focus than just trying to make vast and pretty landscapes. TotK's world is both vast and interactive, and incredibly polished and bug-free as well, and that's why it absolutely shits on any other open world game to this date.

          One product then move to the next, DLC shouldn't be allowed, especially on non=PC platforms, and no amount of mental gymnastics to attempt to explain why CEO dicks aren't all up in your brain is going to change this fact.

          Yeah, I would agree with this. DLC would just be stuff added on top, which wouldn't be too bad if appropriately priced. But this is having to do the exact same things over again. Even if they insist on using the same hyrule, they could have at least changed up the beginning. Who thought it would be a good idea to just outright copy the plateau?

                Except ER's "regular" enemies have a wider move set than most DS1's endgame bosses.
                Only Scaly Missbegotten is a huge joke boss and a free win meant for noobs, but something like Beast of Farum Azula literally has 8+ moves, almost as many as Artorias.

                Not at all, rolling is a optional mechanic in Elden Ring.
                Especially with how strong guard counters are doing as much posture break as a fully charged R2.
                You can totally play the whole game and not roll once, and it would'nt feel like a tryhard chalenge run if you make a greatshield build.

                >just run up to literally all of them and press r1

                There's also the entire argument that combat is pretty much the sole gameplay mechanic of ER whereas TotK barely has combat as it's focus at all, but you're so far away from making a coherent argument as it is that I don't want to overcomplicate things.

                Yes, it he had more HP, he'd be way better than Artorias in terms of a complex moveset you need to learn because you can't just overpower him with DPS.

                Anonymous

                The argument you're making here is reductive to the point of absurdity. "More moves" does not mean more complex. There is no substantive difference between any of the moves other than the specific frame you should dodge (which you can always read the same way).

                There is absolutely nothing mechanically interesting about the Beastman fight, you could jack up his damage and HP as much as you want and he'd still be a basic fight.

                Artorias might be simple compared to modern-day Fromsoft bosses, but he is still easily 100x more complex than Beastman simply because his entire moveset has been designed around providing a dedicated challenge vs Beastman who just has "eight moves" all of which are interchangeable.

                You're a clown for even trying this argument.

      This is what pisses me off so hard. I was hoping to have the existing world with more but instead they just replaced the old stuff with the same but "new" and called it a day. The Sky Islands I've been on so far were nice and underground I need to explore more but the old map is reused the worst possible way.

    It's fun as hell, but if you didn't like BotW, the sequel will do absolutely dick for you.
    I do feel like there's a bit too much laziness in this, though. I know "BotW, music, lol" is a meme at this point, but the very little music TotK does have? Most is just recycled straight from BotW. That's lazy as hell, why not make new tracks?
    So yes, fun as hell, but if it was anyone else but Nintendo, people would rightfully call out a lot of these choices.

          I have no intentions to buy the game just because I don't play Zelda much, and BotW was just boring, but I can't even believe that people aren't miffed about this. When Atlus did SMTIVA they added content in just about every sense, including new music for older areas, it's just common sense. This whole game just reeks laziness and knowledge that they have a cult who would buy anything. Just looking at all the 10s just shows how desperate people are to be uncritical of this game, they really want to believe this is the best game in the whole world in spite of the million problems it has. People saying it's a looker are the worst of the bunch, Link's model is easily uglier than even the original BotW

    It's both excellent and shit at the same time somehow.
    The graphics are definitely much worse than BOTW, fidelity and art style. The most butt ugly game to come out in the past 10 years probably.
    The world feels like it has too much shit to do in it to be honest. It feels very cluttered. The sky islands are pretty underwhelming too, and the underground is just Metal Gear Survive.
    Also how long do I have to play to get the fricking steering wheel.

    At least the boss felt like a proper Zelda boss. I'm real disappointed in the temples though. I also thought the Depths were really cool at first, but they're pretty boring actually since they're largely just empty dark spaces with some enemies here and there. Some of those here and there enemies being a temple boss or something don't jazz it up that much.

          That's the best part of the game so far, shame most of them are just "bring the green crystal to the shrine" puzzles where you use a Garry's Mod plane or balloon.

            I think they fricked up by having to enter those shrines as well. Just spawn the statue and a chest where it normally would be instead of transforming the crystal. No need to go through a loading screen and back again.

    I expected to get BotW 2 and got exactly that
    So I'm having a blast. solid 7.5 to 8.10. Makes BotW feel more like a 6/10 in comparison. I know people like to complain about the same map, but they seemed to have changed up enough of the terrain to make shit feel new. You know the general landmarks sure, but some shit is just plain different now and it's fun seeing how. I also haven't had my vehicles up and disappear after walking away 5ft like you Black folk kept screaming about so it only reinforces the idea to never listen to mass Ganker hysteria.

    There's just way more shit to find compared to the almost empty world with some shrines in it in botw.
    The weapon merge shizzle also makes the weapon finding even better. Sticks are now usefull through out the game.
    They fricking hit it out of the park in my opinion.
    All other openworld games have plenty of shit content and items just so they can say they have said content. You end up setting a marker, make a straightline to that marker, staring at mile marker and repeat.
    None of those openworld trappings are here. All items have a use case, even later on and there's always something to find organicly instead of "lets mark these items on my map".

    I like botw better but this is a really good sequel to the first game's gameplay. Usually a game is sequel in story or setting. But this one it's literally a new chapter of gameplay. Being able to build an airplane and ascend into shit completely changes the game. I'm disappointed that we didn't get what we really wanted with lots of dungeons, catchy music, items like hookshot, etc. But I'm still binging the game while listening to podcasts because it's still a game I can play endlessly

            It's a weird Future Trunks thing. Halfway through the story a little robot we learned time traveled from the BotW timeline summons the 4 champion descendants (Teba, Riju, Yunobo, Sidon) to save this alternate timeline's champions from the Blight Ganons. Just some fanservice, but it's somewhat canon.
            Age of Calamity shows the seer who told the crown (at least the same title for Fortune Teller in both languages is used) to dig up the sheikah artifacts, which were poisoned words designed to arm Ganon when he returned.
            Furthermore it shows Tulin using wind magic for the first time and him telling Revali he's going to use his bow.

      As someone with 40+ hours in TotK so far, yes. Easily. Shrines are better, dungeons are better, bosses are better, and even outside of shrines there's way more content in general than in BotW. The surface map for example is nowhere near as empty. Puzzle design is an expansion of that part on the great plateau where you cut down a tree to cross the chasm, which is fricking great; Ultrahand takes some getting used to but really adds a lot to the game.

      Reading the replies in this thread makes me sad. I don't know if there's another discord raid going on or what, but they're so disingenuous and trollish they're not even worth replying to.

      It really is not. Go play literally any videogame trilogy and you can see that game 1, game 2, and game 3 are still their own games.
      When I play Mass Effect 2 and enjoy it, I have no issue going back to play Mass Effect 1. Both are their own unique games. But when I finish TotK, there is virtually no reason to go back and play BotW because the games are so similar. The point of a sequel is not to replace its predecessor but to offer a new entry.

        Glad you now understand.

        The issue is that it feels like the same game with a green coat of paint where the blue once was. More like a remix than a sequel

        Okay, a remix. Whatever. A frick ton of people enjoyed the first one so taking all that and then dumping a ton of new shit on it with improvements just seems reasonable to me.

      the reason “it’s a 70$ expansion” is being used pejoratively is because botw is a shit game with a gleaming outer shell and hopes were high they would iterate and improve on the problems it had, but totk’s answer was to coat on even more gold without addressing the inexcusably bad core gameplay. Somehow worse combat than the N64 games, atrocious artstyle, so many aspects of the game set up to waste your time (count the seconds you lose every time you get a shrine done or a korok seed), and the usual failures of open world where you start with your complete kit and everything you get afterwards is superficial at best outside of numerical progression. We didn’t get Mario 64 to Sunshine, we got Sunshine twice except this time there’s different nozzles and there’s twice as many blue coins

    >Verdict?
    Same issue as BotW, same issue as most open-world games. A game with a lot to explore but nothing to find.
    Open world games are pointless when there's a lot of room to explore but barely anything unique to find. In a game like this, I want uniqueness. Unique weapons. Special upgrades. Unique enemies. Unique dungeons or lairs. Progression. But just like BotW, my gameplay consisted of running up a mountain to whack a moblin with my sword, break my sword, get a moblin club from him that'll break just as quickly, enter a shrine and do pic related, get a korrok seed and a piece of heart, hear some jazz piano for finishing the shrine, rinse and repeat.

    Now I could perhaps do this if the gameplay was thrilling, but everything in these games (combat, story, movement, navigation, difficulty) is so mellow and toothless that I don't know who can have fun doing this for 100h other than small kids.

        >"Enemy scaling sucks".

        A lot of people's biggest problems with weapon durability would vanish if enemy's scaled better.

          They probably leaned into this for difficulty since the game slows to a crawl whenever more than a few enemies are involved in a fight at once. The first phase of the final battle runs like shit on console

        "Level scaling" doesn't mean higher tier enemies have more stats, it means the difficulty of content adjusts up to the player level, which begs the question what was the point of leveling up?

              many shrines and obviously all divine beasts involve combat, acquiring the best weapons strictly requires combat, most armor upgrades require materials from combat. Don’t be so shortsighted man

                The number of forced encounters in BotW is actually astronomically low. Test of Strength shrines probably account for over 90% of unavoidable fights and they still only make up 1/4th of the shrine content
                >the best weapons strictly requires combat
                Absolutely not correct.
                Most high tier weapons are lying around on the floor or walls of Hyrule Castle, but there's some everywhere. The Great Fireblades at the Eldin leviathan or the Island labyrinth. The Great thunderblade in a mountain in the Rito area, the Firespear in Typhlo Ruins, the rather famous Royal sword in spitting distance from a warp tower, ect

                If you only go for hearts without upgrading your armor you’ll still take tens of hearts of damage at once because defense matters way more with this game’s bullshit formula for damage.
                Lynel weapons come from Lynels and you can’t force them to drop their equipment without killing them like you might shock other enemies. Guardian weapons require killing Guardians (which massively inflates your xp). Elemental weapons are strong because they have element tied to them, not because they’re numerically valuable, and fall off once you’ve hit critical mass on elemental arrows to substitute with.
                Yes, Hyrule Castle has royal weapons floating around and the black versions that break in 5 swings, but if you’re at the point of deliberately avoiding combat and restocking at the castle when necessary then you’re already metagaming the shit out of your playthrough… though it is funny that avoiding combat is the best way to engage with it, as if the game is begging you to play less of it.

    I enjoy it more than botw, but its powers are more limited.
    >ascend
    An exclusively vertical movement option that doesn't work in a lot of places. It really just allows for more vertical level design without needing fans everywhere, so not incredibly interesting, but very necessary with the inclusion of caves.
    >time thing
    Almost exclusively used in puzzles. It allows for more interesting puzzles, but not much else.
    >fuse
    Almost excluaively just a way to make better weapons for combat. It more easily allows for things like torches that need to be lit without needing a torch and fire right next to it (though they do this anyways)
    >nuts and bolts hand
    It is what it is and nothing more. It's fine. It's the only one I can say has a lot of uses, but you need the parts and the time to use it. Also gliders and shit breaking is incredibly stupid. Such things should only be limited by your battery power it really makes it basically impossible to just glide around the sky for fun, which really ought to be possible.
    The temples are better visually, but ab9ut the smal level of intricacy. Much smaller than traditional dungeons.

      Recall is completely busted when combined with ultrahand. It breaks half the puzzles simply by existing. And you can sort of climb everywhere by making floating platforms although it's kind of tedious. Aside from that when you find a falling platform it's a better ascend and it lets you un-crash your aircraft which is nice. I still miss stasis.

      Ascend would be nice if it wasn't SO FRICKING FINICKY. Even if you find a suitable ledge sometimes it will just decide 'frick you, climb'.

      Also making glider duration impossible to extend with consumables has got to be the dumbest decision they've ever made.

      The new throwable objects also kind of make up for the lost runes - you can freeze water to make platforms now for instance. But not stasis, that one still hurts.

    It's a 100/100 frick off contrarians.
    Here, read what the experts say:

    >This is the fullest Zelda story to date, as it answers almost every nagging mystery from the last game. Who were the ancient race of Zonai? Which version of the series villain Ganondorf is threatening the land now? How does any of this fit into the convoluted timeline of the last 19 Zelda games? The answers may not be what you expect, but they’re all here.
    >Ultimately, the lore isn’t the main attraction, and isn’t the reason the Zelda series has endured for almost half a century. What’s more compelling is the game’s nod to the collective story of how human imagination pushes us through our toughest challenges, and sometimes sends us soaring to heights unseen.

    I can't say anything about the gameplay mechanics since I didn't play any nuZelda myself directly but it is absolutely criminal that a videogame would have undoubtedly better performance if played on literally any of the Switch's competitor machines.

    Imagine if PCgays shilled a game that would save computers and every other console ran that game better, and instead of calling this out people for some reason congratulated PC for still being able to run the game despite it all.

    I don't really mind everything else, but what I do mind is people pushing the game as some "amazing" technical achievement. As if Nintendo had no choice to make a console as dogshit as Switch or something and a game running barely 900p at times and dropping to 20FPS is something to write home about and praise in 2020+.

      on the contrary, the only way to like this game is to shut your brain off completely. You can do some tricky things by abusing Recall and vehicles but you have to fundamentally enjoy mindlessly running from objective to objective in order for it to stay enjoyable after 5 hours.

            The fuse material that a monster drops is inline with what you use to kill them. The problem with BotW is that the good weapons were things you found in chests or off guardian crafting so using them was a waste.

      Galaxy 2 wasn’t worth 60$ but it at least had the courtesy of making sure it had good levels outside of shit like Battle Belt and was fairly high quality consistently, setting aside green stars which are that game’s blue coins and are thankfully ignorable. Both the level design and new gimmicks are cleaner than Galaxy 1’s and with an almost completely new orchestral soundtrack.

    Some what I played, which wasn't much, here is the stuff I dislike and I went back to my Breath of the Wild save to compare:
    >Selecting parts to put onto arrows every single time doesn't feel good
    >Combat seems to be downgraded. One thing is calamity canon which was a massive threat with lots of different attacks. Amazing fight. Nothing I have seen here or in game is even remotely close to that. The whole point doing the 4 main dungeons was to make the fight easier, since you had to work to defeat it. With the new system there isn't a real reason to do that outside wanting to do it.
    >The same map shit is really dumb since a lot of Breath of the Wild is finding shit for the first time with landmarks.
    >Shrines are still shrines
    >Purah is pure sex
    I had multiple points in Elden Ring where I raged quit, but I found it a lot more fun. It's basically Nintendo saw that people really liked how calming and relaxing exploring was in Breath of the wild, and made it where there is no reason to have tension. Everything has some sort of really easy and simple solution or a way to bypass any challenge.

    7 or 8 depending on my mood. Everything takes so fricking long it really wears on you. For some reason the devs decided to not make the throwabale/arrow selection a grid so you have to scroll left and right for whatever you want, same goes for the construction history as well. Cooking lots of meals at once is impossible so you have to manually select each ingredient which is fricking insane. Navigating the UI still takes too much time in general, no idea why they kept it all. Sky islands and underground are a big mixed bag, mostly negative since they're 99% empty space with mandatory vehicular traversal. I'm luke warm on the construction and vehicle elements, strapping rockets onto shit was cool the first few times. Best part about the new construction elements is that the shrine puzzle complexity can get a lot higher and the game is less aggressive about hints in general since there's so many options to get to shit.
