TOTK is miles better than BG3

[Ascended]

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a better game than Baldur's Gate 3 for several reasons. First, although the story in Baldur's Gate 3 is more immersive and captivating, the story in TOTK keeps the player engaged throughout the game far more and is not boring. Second, it has a more refined and intuitive combat system that allows for more creative and dynamic gameplay. Third, it has a more beautiful and diverse world that offers more exploration and discovery opportunities. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a masterpiece of game design that surpasses Baldur's Gate 3 in every aspect.

I'm sorry but what? Are you from the 50s or something? What is so hard about getting the hang of a computer?

I dunno, my brother is a huge tech nerd and constantly talks about ♥♥♥♥ I don't understand. Meanwhile consoles are simple, just find a spot, plug them in, and you're good.

What's any of that have to do with anything? Stop trying to make things up. You sound like one of the console fanboys from 10 years ago pretending any of the reasons you've given for buying a console are actually true.

Gamers: We hate big, empty open world games.
Zelda: Here is an open world game which is even emptier than the worst Ubisoft game but we've slapped the Zelda franchise on it.
Gamers: WE LOVE IT.

I don't understand.

Regardless of what game is 'Game of the Year', TotK is far from a 'big empty open world' game. One of the core principles that the designers of Starfield wish they learned from TotK is that when you're playing TotK, they made sure that at -any- point in time and space, you can see at least 3 land marks that you investigate (whether monster camps, puzzles, shrines, bosses, stables, whatever).

They invested a huge amount of effort in giving the player the feeling that they can just walk around and discover things organically. So while we don't have to agree that TotK is game of the year, I think that both the BG3 fans and the TotK fans can come together and agree that Starfield was very bad.

I dont think Starfield was bad, just overhyped.

Uoui have low standards, many games, this year alone, do better in every aspect. Even older Bethesda titles are doin them better than Starfdield.

If regression isn't bad I don't know what is.

So basically Bethesda games before Starfield?

Starfield's what happens when you take away/don't do the one thing you're good at and don't really improve in any other areas, at least imo since an interesting world to explore is the thing Bethesda actually did well in their previous games.

more refined and intuitive combat system? more creative and dynamic gameplay?? bro being able to attach fire fruit to your bow is not dynamic trust me.

This is a troll post but i'll respond

TOTK felt like botw 2.0 and didn't really reinvent the wheel or anything its still Hyrule the lower area is boring and dull and the sky is just puzzles

meanwhile bg3 brought dnd to a lot more players in a more accessible way

[hannibal_pjv]

Mostly agree.

DnD has been accessible AF since 5e, and it's been popular AF since Stranger Things re-ignited interest. I got into table-top around 2016, myself.

This game definitely fueled more interest in cRPGs. But I'd argue DnD cRPGs have always been pretty popular, just not GoTY streamline media awards popular. Especially when most gamers today seem like they've snorted too much coke and have no attention spans.

To that, I'll concede to your point.

For Zelda, As a blind-run player:

I really don't want to find and collect all 900 wumba jumbas to get my hearts and energy filled up enough to be able to pull out the magical dingleberry.

Then I don't want to find all the different fashion accessories hidden in the gloom blund fart-caves.

Then find all the gingko gobblenuts, so I can hold more weapons...

Then fight bosses that do 100 bogglins of damage on my hearts, only for me to figure out that I need to come up with new recipes for the higgle jiggle elixer.

Yeah I don't like the new Zelda games at all. A lot of people love the kind of aimless wandering for miniscule reward, but it bores me to no end, especially when the main gameplay like combat is way too bare bores. At Least In Elden Ring the combat and character building was satisfying, especially all the boss fights and the really well done legacy dungeons. Divine Beasts were a really sad replacement for proper dungeons, which totk still doesn't have.

The rehashed mini dungeons in Elden Ring were awful, but in BOTW that's all the game had.
