Why does every game feel like shit compared to playing TotK?

Why does every game feel like shit compared to playing TotK?

    I know this feel. TotK has the unfortunate effect of ruining all other video games.

    I find myself wanting to explore other open worlds but being hit with invisible walls, linearity and gated progression.

    I find myself wandering off the beaten path and finding nothing there to discover.

    I find myself peering into bottomless chasms feeling disappointed that I can't dive down there and explore.

    I find dealing with baby tier combat scenarios and wondering why I can't use all my inventory to create new scenario-specific items and weapons.

    I find myself wishing I could create my own solutions to puzzles and challenges using my own wits and resources.

    I find myself limited by the sheer inactive sterilisation of the world around me.

    Nintendo have just raised the bar too damn and now I can't enjoy anything else. Does anyone else know this feel?

    Meh. Reverse and Ultrahand are fun, better quests, the building system disrupts the game's level design, no enemy variety, no new weapon types, breakable weapons/materials remain a mid/late-game issue even more so than in Botw, empty open world filled with Korok Seeds, no triforce, the soundtrack is nonexistent once again and the theme is worse than Botw

    I'm happy that Aonuma and Fujibayashi stepped forward and more-or-less admitted that they're trashing the BoTW/ToTK formula for something else in their latest interview.

    The formula has potential but too much freedom results can result in a repetitive, disjointed and unrefined experience. I think they know this and I won't be surprised if we see more restrictions in the next big mainline game.

      No they didn't. They just said they weren't doing any DLC for TotK and leaving this iteration of Zelda of behind. That's what they do every generation. But they've made it clear that this open world approach will be the norm going because that's what Zelda games have always supposed to be.

        Most of the haters will just try and deny any kind of acknowledgement of Nintendo's achievements. When you see the critical acclaim of BotW or TotK, they're mostly talking about how well designed they are or how the experience of playing them feels unique and fresh compared to other open world games.

        Haters will always try and deny this by making ridiculous superficial comparisons to other games which are nothing like Nintendo's Zelda titles. It's a form of cope.

          You. Don't. Play. Videogames. What fucking "achievements"? The physics? Are they so mindblowing because there are basic physics puzzles or because physics objects don't glitch out immediately at the slightest touch? Because not only many games have done that before, but decent physics are a expected standard, not an achievement.
          What else? That you can build vehicles? Not only plenty of fucking games did it before, but they also did it way fucking better because of way bigger variety of parts and possibilities, but also because NO GAME OTHER THAN TOTK HAS LEGO VEHICLES WITH LIMITED TIME.

          Play something like Terra Tech or From The Deep, then come back to tell me how amazing zelda lego vehicles are.

    It's not a surprise this game died down in record time, even the fanboys saw it for a bland rehash or more specifically an assetflip.

    The crafting shit is pointless because you spend 5 minutes making a shitty tank just to do weak damage to a camp of dumb moblins. and do you know what happens when the moblins die? they don't drop a battery pack, they drop a sword. because a sword is the thing that works best for killing shit, swords are what the game showers you with, and you could have cleared the camp with a sword in 5 seconds. and clearing the camp with a sword is exactly what you will do 3 minutes after recording a quirky optimus prime webm because it's a game you play for 80 hours and you'll eventually realize the crafting shit isn't entertaining beyond memes or novelty

    Just adding some sandbox shit and outsourcing the content to the player instead of actually making meaningful and fun content is a terrible way to design games, especially adventure games like zelda that are about dungeons and magic swords and saving the world, not minecraft gmod.

      Thread should've ended here but the shitposting must go on. BotW is like coming into a game of chess and having your opponent upend the board with his shit smeared hands and tell you to play with the pieces on the floor like they're little dolls instead. It has no structure, no real progression, and everything you do is pointless and unsatisfying.
      It's a few autistic fags spamming bait trying to hook people into engaging because nobody cares otherwise. I get it. It fucked up Zelda instead of being a new IP, but I wish people would stop taking it. Just make Zelda threads and talk about those instead of trying to reason with or engage with fanboy retards who couldn't care less beyond sucking off corporations.

            Movesets are not gameplay.

            Fusing a Fire Lizalfos horn to a spear not only inflicts more damage but also sets the enemy of fire, it's sets the environment on fire, it can be used to one-shot ice enemies, it can used to melt ice or even keep the player warm in cold region.

            That is all gameplay. It is all impactful player agency.

    i loved the game, but how on earth do you continue having fun with that after so long? once i completed the main quests the entertainment value went into freefall. i became a janitor begrudgingly cleaning shit up until i had all the shrines done.

    Poured a good 200 hours of my life into this game. Now I feel sad lol.

    Other than "touch grass" - what other games (Zelda or non-Zelda) do you reccommend i pick up and play?

    I have a Switch (obviously) and a PS4.

    My wife and I like chatting character vs character. We are stuck on if Link (Totk powers) could take on Darth Vader (Rogue One). The only consession is we would give the Master Sword beskar steel. What are your thoughts?

    Because of how buggy everything else is
    I was flabbergasted that bg3 was suppose to be the tripple A game killer, when it is just as buggy as all triple a launches this year

    Diving from the Sky Islands all the way to the world below is exhilarating as fuck. I love this game on so many levels.
