NOPE. It's fucking ridiculous that I had to timestamp that I owned the fucking game for these drones to start taking me seriously. They all just said I "never played it" or was a sonybro.

Sup Forumsintendogaf is the most cancerous thing ever I don't understand how this board could be the most pro-nintendo place on the internet after neogaf.
For some obscure reason Nintendo fans love Sup Forums

Anthony Nelson
Every zelda is mediocre, are you surprised?
Nathaniel Morris
Because Nintendo used to make good games, and the general culture of Sup Forums back in the day was enjoying good games. This attracted Nintentards from Reddit who played and loved EVERYTHING Nintendo does irregardless of quality.
Now that Nintendo is becoming shit, you have people like me turning on them and then the newfag Redditors who are blindly defending them. Quite sad.
Charles Diaz
I fell for the Zelda meme back in the day
Bought a n64 spend 200 dollars in 2 controllers spend money in a upscaler buy Zelda OoT
Piece of garbage.
Nicholas Walker
>Because Nintendo used to make good games Then Mario Sunshine was released and 4 years later the Wii was announced at E3.
People still live pretending Nintendo is going to make a huge come back and release good games like in SNES/n64 era

What's wrong with people like you? Why would you continue playing a game after like one or two hours if it was less than good?
Nathaniel Bell
It's nice that you got someone else to write you this timestamp, but you've been spamming this pasta full of lies for days already.
It only takes people a few minutes to fact check these and figure out that you are blatantly lying about the number of enemies for example.
Sorry, lad.
I do however applaud your effort, you put more effort into your shitposting and anti-shilling than 99% of the other people.
Christopher Lopez
Because the game is barren and empty, and you need to spend 48 hours to actually traverse the huge and empty game world and accomplish a good amount of content. That and actually experiencing all facets of the game because you know, I WANT to like it, but I can't, it's just not good.

i think it has more to do with paid reviews. nintendo's marketing budget for the switch is noticeably bigger than their past consoles. they spend all that money advertising on these pro-game review sites. its a vicious cycle.

I'm not blatantly lying about anything. Those are the number of enemies. Do you need me to enumerate them for you? The proof is in the OP you fucking faggot.

Why do people want their world to be filled with POIs every 10 meters?
I enjoy how realistic the world of BotW feels. You have some forests with boars, turkeys and squirrels running around with a little pond full of fish and frogs nearby and shit like that.
Not every square meter of an open world game has to have some kind of point of interest where you "do" something.
If anything, the interesting parts of the world stand out more BECAUSE other parts of it are just there for the world building.
Henry Lopez
>puts 50 (fifty!) hours into a game within a couple of days >claims game is mediocre I put 60 hours into No Man's Sky because I couldn't believe it stayed that shit forever, does that mean I can't call it shit?

Carson Miller
Must suck doing something for 40+ hours that you don't enjoy.
James Lee

Dominic Ross
What's wrong with you, you stupid virgin? If something is mediocre, it's not bad, but not good either. Have you ever even looked into a dictionary?
Christian Reyes
Yes. After you beat the Dungeon you get a Heart Container, a cutscene plays and you get a special power based on the dead Champion 100 years ago. Then another cutscene plays showing the beast and Champion shoot a giant laser towards the Castle. You are teleported out of the Dungeon after that.

The thing is i Genuinly think the game looks fun, have you watched any streams at all? i sat for about an hour watching some random what i THINK was a tranny, run around taking pictures of mushrooms and shit.
But where does it go south, did reviewers blow their load on the first hour onto paper? because thats what it seems like
Caleb Green
it's a good thing OP isn't someone who matters like a reviewer
Kevin Gonzalez
>Why do people want their world to be filled with POIs every 10 meters? Because then the flaws just start to stick out like a sore thumb. Complaints about stamina are there because you just have to run for such insane amounts of times across nothing but grass or climbing a bunch of mountains with nothing of note.
Kevin Evans
>>> And over 100 shrines, each with a challenge to go through. Not to mention the 'dungeons' have a reason to not be gigantic in the way other games' were. First, you go through a much greater challenge to reach them in the first place, and second, they fit the structure they're meant to be. All bosses have similar design because they're based on a singular character. In MM they all looked kinda similar as well. > Basically after you learn the extent of the tools you're qualified to take on any shrine with skill and logic, and "with a few exceptions" means you still get surprised every once in a while despite the tools not having changed. Wow, really sucks. >>> I haven't verified the number of enemy types, but different 'colors' have different moves and different AI. They notice things differently and employ different strategies based on their surroundings. Different weapons and weather also encourage you to fight differently, as well as the weapons you have on hand. Effectively each encounter is different from the last, and even for similar encounters, there are multiple approaches. > Not damage sponge if you have good weapons, which even if you break, you'll still make your spending back after defeating the monster.
Connor Wilson
>medicore means it might be fine to play I wouldnt pay 50$ for a mediocre game, would you?
Benjamin Hughes
I don't give a shit about realism, that doesn't make a good video game. If you want to make a game about realism, at least make it real in relation to something interesting, not boring.
Caleb Watson
I literally could not believe it stayed like that the whole way. I think I was just in disbelief the whole time, I only stopped because I was not going to spend the next 100 hours grinding warp cells to get 50k lightyears closer to the center.

Keep in mind they're basically physics puzzles you'd see in a normal Zelda dungeon like pushing blocks or what you'd see in HL2 with see saws and stuff, and they have repeats like with hitting boulders and stuff. Not that that's bad or anything, just know what you're getting.
Luke Fisher
woah user that makes zelda a..a well 0/10
Ethan Butler
There are literally only TWO negatives about BotW
>item durability, they went too far with this >frame rate dips
That's it. 9.5/10 game, game of the decade material.
And this is before the DLC too. The DLC that adds another full dungeon, multiple new challenges, a hard mode (as if the game wasn't hard enough already), a cave of trials, more map features and so on.
Will easily be 10/10 by then. I also have a strong suspicion they might release a patch that tones down the rate at which items break a little bit.
Colton Bailey
Because sadly this site it most used by amerifats. And they care because muh smash and muh nostalgia.
Logan Walker
Borra esto, NO es Justo!
David Davis
I wouldn't pay 50$ for any game. I'll buy it months later with a huge discount, all patched up and probably complete with all dlcs that i wont play anyway. if it proves to be a good game not by first wave of reviewers but accumulated score of all kind of players out there.
Joshua Hill
sad!
Carson Moore
I have 80 hours in X: Rebirth.
It's pretty and I enjoyed just flying around exploring. But the game itself is pretty meh.
Just because a game is medocre doesn't mean it's unplayable.

do you honestly think its worth picking up one of the next switches form batch 2-3 or should people be waiting for the docs to be padded out, and the joycon problems to be ironed out, i heard and seen a lot of bad shit, thats the only thing that makes me not want to sink £300 for a zelda machine, plus that new mario does look kinda good.

people said it would be a HARDER mode and its not? they literally put a mode that should be in the game behind a pay wall?

>Only four tools to beat shrines, you come to understand how to solve them after doing a few, most use very similar puzzles, very few exceptions.
> and "with a few exceptions" means you still get surprised every once in a while
The exceptions are one offs like shrines that just give you an item for finding them, combat shrines, or a few very minor exceptions like the stupid island people are meming about.
>but different 'colors' have different moves and different AI No, they really don't. That's in your fucking imagination.
>Different weapons and weather also encourage you to fight differently Wow, don't use metal weapons when it's raining... such an innovative game changer. You're making a bunch of nothing into something, dishonest.
>Effectively each encounter is different from the last
No, it is pretty much the same shit each time, especially because the "multiple approaches" don't do shit for damage beyond the most basic enemy color types.
>Not damage sponge if you have good weapons Lynels have more than 3000 HP, IIRC some have 7500 HP.
> you'll still make your spending back after defeating the monster. You can't buy weapons or repair them, all you get is their shittier weapons and a few monster parts for a few rupees or useless elixirs.
