Ah to be 12 again

...

Will the butthurt ever go away?

I put in probably 20 hours and got bored. I wanted to enjoy it but meh got repetitive fast

Most of those pics are shrine puzzles/locations or dungeons. Or
>muh scenery

>Sonyfags still butthurt

Where's those "Sony will win E3" threads at? I enjoy bringing up how Mario Odyssey will completely dwarf anything they announce.

But it doesn't lol

H-H-HAHA Y-YOU GO SONYBRO, TELL THOSE DRUMPFLETS WHOSE IN CHARGE. DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH

>2 months later
>Sup Forums STILL hasn't recovered
I look forward to the Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 Metacritic threads

Not him but can you explain why?

I dont own any sony consoles sorry bruh

>meh
brilliant analysis! surely I will take your view on these matters as the highest and most profound commentary!

See

There are lots of things to do like sand seal races, eventide island, shield surfing time attacks, fighting lynels, side quests, not everything is shrines and korok seeds despite what shitposters say.

isn't it weird that people actually put in the effort required to draw things like these?

it's either that people actually do care that much about this stupid shit (and they're talented enough to draw) or people are devoted to arming the shitposters with new weapons

Shit, if user says it must be true!

Looks like a basic little sketch for someone who's good at drawing

weird, yes

hot, also yes

I just wanted to feel a purpose in exploration and pretty quickly realized that all their was to find was shrines and shrine quests. Also korok seeds but who cares about that? Like i would think hey i wonder whats on top of this huge mountain? 9/10 times its a korok seed. Also Dungeons are lackluster. Bossfightts and lynels get boring fast too. Easy to figure out formula then its just wittling down a massive healthbar.

>where are muh cheevos and instant gratification this game sucks

Does it feel like you're progressing at all doing the side stuff and exploring or does it just feel like filler content to kill time?

Who the fuck cares about a shitty mini game. Eventide island is a shrine quest. Lol shield surfing a shitty mixup for the shit combat wow. Fetch side quests for shrines w0w!!!

It's not about instant gratification, it's about any sort of gratification whatsoever. You don't progress at all, and if all you want to do is look at the scenery, install some Minecraft shaders or go outside.

See
wtf r u talking about. I was hoping to explore and find dungeons and complex puzzles. Not fucking shrines. Thats the definition of instant gratification you dumb fuck

It does feel like you're getting better at optional things that are inconsequential to the main quest, which is the fun of extra content.
>I am so le jaded and cynical I'm Sup Forums as fuck do I fit in yet?
Yawn.

>any gratification
>I need unique loot on every chest or the game is shit
Your opinion on games is shit.

Botw was a pretty poorly done game. I didn't think you can get worse than SS, but here we are yet again.

Why do you keep putting words into people's argument? I don't need unique loot, I need something to justify my shit breaking. Why the fuck am I going to fight anything optional, thus break my shit, just so I can get shit that is probably weaker and will break even faster?

You don't even have an opinion on the game.

Shrines were more of a small carrot for choosing to explore in one direction or another. An excuse to get pulled towards another sculpted area.

It was disappointing that they didn't have a couple of dungeons lying around though.

Seeing the outcropping of the first maze in the distance was a very cool "what is that" moment that would have been much better with some more meaningful places.

I dont want to be cynical lol i genuinely tried to enjoy this game but sadly i never feel like picking it up anymore. Just feels hollow.

>which is the fun of extra content

I disagree. I usually only do side quests if I feel like it'll enhance the main quest experience.

Speaking of the main quest, is it any good? From what it sounds like, the side quest content is probably something i'll dip into occasionally but ignore most of the way through. So I'm hoping the main quest can still give me a great experience.

PCbros are still this mad they can't play GOTYAY anytime, anywhere.

Lucky you, I explore and can't even find shrines even with most the map uncovered.

Literally the Ubisoft Towers of Nintendo.

>i genuinely tried to enjoy this game
>as a longtime fan I don't enjoy this game they advertised as what it was
Every time

>shrine quests
but that's a retarded oversimplification

shrine quests include gameplay scenarios as varied as eventide island, the korok trials, hebra's leviathan bones cave, trial of thunder, the mazes, the stolen heirloom and so on and so forth

you're trying to argue the game is repetitive while ignoring how varied your actions actually are

>even the best porn artist ever knows the weapon breaking system is shit

So its confirmed

Do they unlock the side quests and collectables? If not they're not ubisoft towers and you're a fucking retard regurgitating that faggot cuckold Sterling's opinion. Sad.

I've recently beat the game, completing the entire main questline and a few side quests here and there.

Once you have enough hearts and a collection of non-shit weapons, the main quest turns into a sidequest. Hell, finishing the main quest makes the final fight so fucking braindead easy I literally wish I hadn't done any of it.

I don't even watch Sterling. I just thing having a bazillion shrines everywhere is kinda lame.

>i only do optional quests if they improve the main quest
You what now?

Going from this to the nonthreatening pig was a big letdown.

I think they should have had you fight revamped and more intricate versions of the divine beast ganons before him. Two at a time, maybe.

Then you fight Calamity, who would've needed to be amped up a bit in difficulty.

Having the divine beast bosses there if you skip the dungeons is cool but the idea could have been done much better.

But I thought the problem was with the "ubisoft towers" and they're not since they don't unlock any content, they just show the topography of the map, you can still explore without them.

Except the problem is, you just described each and every bit of "varied' content that exists. And that content is either a combat scenario or a physics puzzle.

Wow.

>Do they unlock the side quests and collectables?
No, they do not. They increase your health/stamina in exchange for repetitive mundane tasks. Somehow, they're even worse than towers.

They advertised an adventure and exploration game. I found the exploration to be very shallow. Not a lot to discover so..
. lol but in the end its all for a shrine. And honestly i did all those quests and they werent fun for me idk

How? How do towers increase your health/stamina?
Why are you shitposting a game you haven't played?

What's hard to understand? I like worldbuilding and experiences I won't forget about after a few minutes.

It's one of the main reasons why I absolutely detested FFXV, it had the most garbage tier sidequests I've seen in a while.

He's talking about shrines you fucking idiot. Don't try and post in a thread you haven't even read.

>but in the end is all for a shrine
It's about the path, not the destination.
You literally ruined the game of the decade for yourself because of your dumb perspective and achievement/trophy sensibilities.
Great job nu-Sup Forums

Hes talking about shrines dumbass

How old are you?

Sucks that the path is a fucking giant empty world with an unstable framerate and ultimately leads to nothing, ever.

Read the reply chain you gigantic retards, his first post ITT was "literally the ubisoft towers of nintendo" how are those shrines again?

What's you're favorite shrine Sup Forums?

I liked that shrine island where he strips you of all your gear.

But it's not, you're so desperate to hate on this game, it simply wasn't for you.

I did. He responded to nobody, implying a direct response to the OP. He is saying that the shrines are literally the Ubisoft towers of Nintendo.

Holy mother of God, I know you're a real person on the other side of the screen, but that's just making this worse for me.

Really? I think the exploration is fine.
You have a constant need for gear since yours breaks easily, so finding a good weapon in some god forsaken place is great.

There's stuff you can do with the dragons, a bunch of mounts that you can temporarily tame, tons of side quests, etc.

Shallow exploration is something you invariably get with Open World games, that's just the genre. Even Skyrim's exploration felt repetitive even though every single cave or outpost had a storyline or a theme to go with it.

But I don't think the game is bad from a story-driven perspective either, the Open World is just the filler between the story quests. It's by no means perfect, but shrines are a pretty good way to keep that single player experience in an Open World game.

My only issue with the games is that they should have done more with the labryrinths.

Am I desperate for pointing out facts? Or are you desperate for choosing to defend the general public's perception of a fucking video game without trying to actually continue a conversation?

3 of them are, also who cares?

Ya and the path was shit lmao nice try though

Except there is no end goal for exploration.

>Weapons >break weapons > explore > refill weapons = And it repeats with no resolution. It's literally a gameplay loop meant to waste your fucking time. Minecraft was a mistake.

>facts
>empty world
>facts
Every time
You type like a teenager, here's your (You)

I like the one where you fought a guardian. Or to be more specific, 20% of the shrines.

Facts can be proven. What you said is bullshit.

I already proved it, though.

>if I recontextualize his shit statement it makes sense :)
kys

Idk i just think an easy way to fix it would be to have dungeons randomly located around the maps with a zelda 1 vibe. And since theres no special items itd be fine to do out of order. That would make exploration a lot more fun. You can keep shrines but they shouldnt be the only thing to find

There are still people shitposting about the Witcher 3 so no

You didn't prove that the game is empty, because that statement is objectively falsen.
Nice shitposting though.

Yes, I'm aware of what you're doing. It makes no sense, you can literally scroll up and see for yourself exactly who he replied to.

fucking hell we're still doing this?
i completed the game + the shrines and i'm now playing something else
everyone's picking on ARMS now, move on

But it's objectively true, because I already proved my factual statement. You repeatedly denying that truth may falsify it in your little world, but nobody cares about that.

But BotW doesn't even have a playable female character! if you enjoy it you're literally a rapist!

ban nintendo games (and the rape culture they advocate) from America, Land of the Free(tm) and Home of the Brave!

Great game.

You haven't proven anything.

>everyone's picking up ARMS

typical nintendo cucks justifying their $400 purchase by buying shovelware and reports of games they already played

You haven't proven that the game is empty. Do it.

Wow! So empty...

So this is just shitposting right? No one can be dumb to honestly think there's only shrines to find or to even dismiss the shrines as something not enjoyable.

Wow! So desperate...

>You don't progress at all

Objectively wrong.

>you just described each and every bit of "varied' content that exist
no l fucking didn't, it was just a small sample among the tons of stuff you can do in the game
>And that content is either a combat scenario or a physics puzzle.
you're full of shit

besides how is that even a criticism, what are you even supposed to do in a zelda game if not explore, fight and solve puzzles

I like the part whereyou go to a shrine

>he says as he posts GGR^ACXrdRev2aquapixza:late

So this ended up being another quantity over quality open world game huh? And the gaming industry just ate it all up and praised it to the heavens as usual.

Its Sup Forums so I wouldn't put it past some people to actually be this dumb

Post an example of quality game.

I don't want to hear that from a Shaftshitter

Do you think Nintendo fans play any other games like this one? If they liked Breath of the Wild, they would probably love something like Morrowind.

>shaft
not falling for your b8 m8

Look at this weeb faggot pretending to know shit.

I already loved Morrowind before playing BotW and I had more fun with BotW

>pretty poorly done
I'm curious, what game do you consider to be "well-done" ?

Loool ok so what is there then. Besides 4 shitty dungeons, korok seeds, and fetch side quests. Enlighten me.

I do love me some Morrowind

I've played most of the Elder Scrolls series and Witcher 2/3. I loved BotW just as much if not more.

>shitty
Not an argument
>korok seeds
>900 of them
>hurr what else
Desperate
>fetch side quests
Epic, simply epic.

that's because morrowind is dated as shit, the game's mechanics feel like complete ass
>oh a rat let me kill it real quick
>my sword keeps missing what is this bullshit
>the rat killed me fuck this
