This

I mean moreso in descriptive, technical terms. What kind of style is it?

watercolor

Ghibli style.

The "our hardware can only handle games that look about 10 years old, better make it cartoony" style

That's a good way to describe it, with all the nature and shit.

Ugly.

>"our hardware can only handle games that look about 10 years old"

Can it? lol

The Dark Souls of ludokakfkino cinematic experiences inspired by Earthbound, Cave Story, and Undertale: reconceptualization of lovecraftian Metroidvania, with notes of Eldritch roguelitelike gameplay

"fugly"

over saturated

cel shaded basically the same as wind waker

I'm convinced that anyone that says this game looks bad is a salty sonyfag or a contrarian.

>inb4 "anyone who dislikes what I like is wrong"

That would be a good point, but just look at the game. By no stretch of the imagination is it a less than superb art-style, especially compared to all the washed out brown AAA games coming out. It just plain looks good. So many people are just salty because Nintendo opts for an interesting aesthetic that makes optimal use of relatively little processing power, compared to all the boring ass games coming out on the powerhouses that are the PS4 and XBone.

the textures are objectively shit

ugly and washed out, ive seen better cel-shading before.

Cartoonish

shit.

cell shaded, you fucking retard

It's called masterpiece style, normies can also use the term goty.

Subjectively you mean.

The textures are highly stylized and by no means look real, but everything in the game looks great. I don't like shrines in place of real dungeons and I wish there were more enemies like redeads and poes. Honestly l'm super disappointed there isn't a proper horror portion of the game. But I'll never agree that it looks bad.

now this is delusion

once in a generation style

I don't really know any exact terms but it seems like a more realistic take on Wind Waker's style.

You're right, its every one else that must be wrong....

Woah... so this is the power of Paid Reviews

>All this asspain
9 months in an tearfarming with BOTW's only gotten BETTER? What is this shit.

>Wii U

...

>Let's try to fit as many lines as possible on a character model

its the "honestly amazing"

>this is supposed to be impressive
My fucking phone looks better lmao!

>Being so angry you can't even make your own memes
Lmao, it's even more pathetic than when HZDfags made their own.

...

Don't think it's paid reviews, just nostalgiafags and famboys ruining everything as usual.
BOTW is objectively a solid 7/10.

>posting outdated stats

Why would a small frame dip make any significant impact on the rating of the best game of the decade? the fact that that is your first criticism is laughable and speaks to the overall genius of the game if you have to reach that much

>best game of the decade
The absolute delusion of Nintendumbs

>Nintendo paid EVERYONE to say the game is good
Why don't they just do that for all their games.

it's the version of the game reviewed 10/10.....

>"this game is objectively bad"
>but it received universally perfect acclaim...
>"b-b-but here's an image of a small frame dip in an outdated version"
>that means very little...
>"(uses more buzzwords)"

the average sonyfag. stay salty

more like

>man this game has bad textures
>NUH UH GAME IS PERFECT LOOK AT ALL THESE 10/10 PAID REVIEWS!! OBJECTIVE FLAWS? CANT HEAR YOU LALALALALALALALALA SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Cel-Shaded

cel-watercolor

Literally the only people who got it right

you seem upset. Have you ever wondered why every nintendo game doesn't get universal acclaim, if its true they just pay reviewers?

I disagree with you very much and I own both a PS4 and a Switch. BotW simply does not have a great art style in my opinion. It has flashes of looking good, but the problem is that it's an awkward combination of cel-shaded with a tinge of realism. It looks crappy. It doesn't look as good as the 2014 E3 video, and the game has ugly whitish coloration.

Just because other games look more generic and brown that doesn't make BotW look intrinsically good. A lot of games on Steam, like Witness or Firewatch, literally look better and more inspired.

I feel the opposite of you, I don't understand what the big deal is. This game looks ugly and unfinished. I wish it looked more like pic related

Very nice.

>>"this game is objectively bad"
>>but it received universally perfect acclaim...

The second line does not contradict the first.

Delicious.

...

quit posting these screenshots all the time faggot

Bloodborne has a better aesthetic.

...

seems awkward at first but the more i think about it....yes "romantic" seems to fit

...

Why is Princess Peach riding a lawnmower in a Zelda game?

So if everyone else in the world loves a game and think its spectacular, they're combined opinion is less important than your "objective" opinion? They're wrong because you're right?

when it comes to something like a piece of art or a game, the opinion of the world as a whole is the closest thing to "objectivity."

It's an uncomfortable mix of plastic and cel shading but that's not really art style that's graphic style. The art seems to be generic manga/anime I guess. Not much signature to it.

so does GR2 if you want something more colorful

Cel shading with an emphasis on oversaturated colors and different lighting sources. It works out great for the game as it makes it less hardware intensive and adds a styled look that distinguishes the game from others.

There is no such thing as "generic anime/manga", user. Spend five minutes on Sup Forums and create a generic design out of a composite of all the imagery in the threads for a single snapshot of the catalogue.

No, your appeal to popularity is meaningless fanboy drivel. If this same game was released on Stream, as a non-Zelda, non-Nintendo game, it wouldn't have won a single award.

Congrats my man you've overspecialized in a field of knowledge and are too invested for a conversation with people who have surface level understandings of it anymore.

BotW looks generic as shit.

You say my statement is meaningless and respond with literal speculation. Ok.

The idea that the quality of art is derived from the weight humanity gives it is not "meaningless," in fact its basically the definition of meaningful. I'd like to hear you propose a better "objective" means of ranking games.

This.
I mean, for Nintendo it really is fantastic. But as far as other similar games go it's just average. Most of what makes the game good has already been done a hundred times before. Things like combat and exploration of copypasted shrines being the weakest part of the game.
Though, honestly, I say it still deserved GotY, simply because this year was pretty garbage and at least they actually tried.

>art
Stopped reading there. Video games are toys, not art.

There's no meaningful difference here, they're optional things we entertain ourselves with. You're just arguing semantics.

>at least they actually tried.

9 months dev time for more copypaste shrines and a motorcycle that freezes the game
man this team is fucking incompetent

Blurry and 'stylized'.
