How long was it before the magic wore off?

How long was it before the magic wore off?

~60 hours for me. That's the point I started fast traveling and ignoring the skull encampments.

Never. Breath of the Wild is the best and most lastingly brilliant video game ever created.

I never played it.

10 minutes

wore off after I beat it. I think if I waited a couple of years and went back to it I would feel it again though

Maybe about that long for me, too. That’s the great thing about BotW, though. Once I stopped feeling that sense of whimsy and discovery, I just knocked out the last beast or two and took down Ganon in like a day. Didn’t have to sit through another mandatory 20 hours to get to the end, and 60 is still a long fucking time to be captivated by a video game.

never for me, I kept playing until I finished every quest and shrine. fuck doing all the koroks though, I played for 200 hours in total.

I finished the base game, completing all four Divine Beasts, crushing Ganon, and beating all 120 Shrines. That's it for me though. I'm not buying the Season Pass.

my nigger

I had fun with the game as long as there were shrines to find. I really enjoyed looking for and solving them.
I didn't even try to play in an "immersive" way though (avoiding quick travel and such), since I just don't see the appeal in that

Never. Even now after completing everything else in the game, I'm still looking around for those little Korok shits. A lot of them are surprisingly well-hidden and fun to find, so it's still enjoyable to scour every nook and cranny of the map even if I'm not getting physically rewarded.

The main quest is really well done compared to the average open world game, where it's just a linear string of cutscenes and generic missions

For me it was seriously like 7-8 hours. Thats when the feeling of utter obviousness seeped in, that the game would mostly be the same gameplay loops of finding shrines in the world

About 300 hours, then I stopped playing it.

wow, you missed out on a lot then

Probably around 100 hrs and still going strong. Just did the trial of the sword and thought it was the best sidequest ever. For me, botw has provided gameplay joys similar to the year of playing after oot's release.

It came and went as I played. I started getting a little disappointed once I got to the rito place about 70 hours in. What a mistake I made doing the zora place first. Easily the best of the four. If I had a second chance, I'd go in blind and turn off the mini map.

>What a mistake I made doing the zora place first.
Same. I feel like I did them in the complete opposite order. The whole desert was shit, wish I didn't save it for last.

I did all the shrines, beat the game and did mosts of the sidequests

The game is insanely repetitive and exploring honestly isnt that much fun

>I did all the shrines, beat the game and did mosts of the sidequests
in 8 fucking hours? bullshit.

>reading comprehension

BotW is very front loaded. They steer you to the Zora place on purpose because it is the most impressive and the path to Zora's Domain is the move involved pre-dungeon thing aside from the Gerudo. After doing the Zora area the game tails off substantially, the Goron and Rito areas are fucking shit and obviously rushed.

I said the magic wore off after 7-8 hours, not that I beat the game in that time. The magic really wears off after the great plateau and you learn the rules of the world very quickly.

I did Gerudo > Zora > Goron > Rito and I agree, it just kept getting worse and worse.

About 6 hours when I realized that 90% of the game would be looking for shrines and then doing a lame puzzle.

the great plateau is the worst region in the game

Regardless of how generic other games are I still enjoy other open world main quests more. GTA, Witcher, RDR, Elder Scrolls, I enjoyed all their main quests more than BotW because most of BotW's quest is so lackluster. The beasts are only so-so, the pre dungeon activities are really bad especially the Goron one. There is nothing that great about it and thenearly absent story doesn't help much. I thought it was terrible how the beasts and bosses look so similar.

Goron is good though, Gerudo is god-tier and Zora is great. I agree that Rito sucks however.

Maybe, maybe not but its one of the most fun because thats when everything is new and you cant just glide everywhere. Its when the mechanics of the game really shine, that and on Eventide.

Great Plateau was definitely the highlight for me, the game just never recaptures the magic again.

40 hours

Honestly didn't bother to finish it either

It took you 60 hours to ignore the encampments? i got bored of them very quickly.

I don't agree with you were, the great plateau is weak and actually a lot more repetitive than other regions due to its lack of variety compared to other areas of the game. I was glad to have gotten off it so soon as I bum-rushed through the 4 shrines.

Fatigue set in at 15-20 hours, dropped it wholesale at 30, picked it up again months later and pushed all the way to the finish at aroud 60-ish.

Maybe when I had like 110/120 shrines complete. Finding the rest of them sucked balls.

This. Fun to ingest and go through once, but not much for a returning player except maybe a no-divine beast run/hero mode run.
Hero mode just makes enemies take stupid amounts of damage and regen health so it's not even a fun challenge, and not doing Divine Beasts is just actively hindering yourself.

When i completed the entire trial of the sword in one go and realized there would not be anything nearly as challenging or interesting for the rest of the game. This was just after i beat zora, i only had 13 hearts and 1 stam wheel.

Couple hours. It doesn't help that I am already playing 2 heavy exploration games (Xeno and Mario) and not in the mood at all for another one. Especially one that has much weaker exploration than the previous 2 titles mentioned.

>zelda
>weaker exploration than mario

I don't think the magic ever started. I found BotW on the whole to be pretty boring and unrewarding to play

Did a normal playthrough with all shrines, then started a hardmode playthrough. I just got my motorcycle and am finding the rest of the shrines.
I am at 180 hours and just bought Xenoblade. I might not get back to Zelda any time soon.

140 house. At first, I was committed to finding every shrine, but i just got bored of exploring the same areas over and over. U have 108 shrines.

No u.

Hours *

>U

This. Tried hero mode, but found it to be too tedious. Loving Odyssey, however; It had a lot more to offer in the post-game.

24 hours on the dot. Framerate drops, lack of any real direction, weapon durability, no proper dungeons and feeling like I'm 100 years late to the interesting stuff killed my interest rather quick. I do want to come back to it though as the gameplay is still solid but it's been months.

It's okay user. We all make mustakes.

Every hour of every single day for the last 350 fucking days

It was never really there for me to begin with. I got a little bored with it after I finished the first Divine Beast, though I did do some fairly extensive shrine hunting along the way. The game is smart in a lot of ways but I just find it nevertheless dull.

played it for over 250 hours, did all quests/shrines and had an absolute blast. Looking forward to replaying it again soon to celebrate its anniversary.
