Zelda BOTW is insanely, unfairly, outrageously, criminally overrated and overpriced.

[Pr.Jitterskull - best bug fixer]

In all honesty, it's just generic lame press-x-to-win slasher that gets boring in a matter of 30-60 min of gameplay. There is nothing special about this game, neither unique, nor fun. You just waving swords and spin like some dummie and even more dumber enemies bait to you and die of it.

No interesting ranged combat, no interesting nor fun to use magic combat system with no real diverse real-time ranged magic spells\skills, awful flat and empty environment, almost entirely lacking any kind of platforming, no first person mode, boring characters and repeative gameplay. I had much more fun playing the early 2000's R&C series with FAR more deep and advanced gameplay with lots of features that were fun, and even graphics somehow seem more superior.

And worst of all, you're forced to buy an crappy console device that won't find any other use besides that. At this point it's just feels like forced meme\advertisement as a strategy to sell their crappy consoles in a hope that nintendo become relevant again. I'd rather just play Skyrim\Oblivion\Morrowind which might be old, but far superiour and advanced adventure first person game with far, far more interesting magic system and overall combat. Hell, a fan made free games like Guncaster that work on my 20$ crappy chinese phone is far, FAR more fun than this overhyped garbage.

i dont care much in combat. i just care about adventure, story, environment. so far, loz botw is great

[Tiberius]

It's a great game with fun physic. Imo the rating is justified. It's the fanboy that overhype the game (when infact it copied many things from other games).

I think my biggest complain is how the wpn break far too easily

*then i read your last sentence. I realize you're no better than botw fanboys

Adventure is mediocre, the story is a filler, and environment is straight flat empty openspace dustfield. There is a trillion of all other games with that, which are far better in all honesty. Seriously, Skyrim is no worse at all of it but actually provide more interesting both combat, yet actually have fun ranged combat and interesting magic shooting combat as well.

If you care so much for it to be the portable device, then there are mods like Wrath of Cronos which works just fine with adventure, storytelling game like Scourge of Viscerus, both of which are free.

Complaining abt combat, but then proceed to complimenting skyrims combat

What an oxymoron

Yes, yes it is. Skyrim has far more advanced combat system than botw could ever dream of; so I'm not sure if you're even know what oxymoron word means. In fact, I don't know any other first person open world game that had such smooth, advanced and diverse first person real-time magic combat system, not even Morrowind or Oblivion comes to comparison.

So far you haven't provide any argument, just angry at me for saying the truth.

i think Nintendo do combat scenario like that because it follow other loz game. example, ocarina of time. you just spam B and use item to defeat enemy. so, this similar with botw. press B, use item, backflip, and repeat. nothing combat you can do

>play on easy difficulty with op armor and dodge most attacks of some weakling humans
>despite the video only contains puny humans instead of dragons\demons\otherworldly op createus, combat still more advanced than press X to win botw
>didn't show the magic combat system and the fact you actually have to aim these

Skyrim isn't even that relevant, after all you at least can mod the hell out of it. Besides, argument that comparing one bad game with another assumingly bad game, won't make the first game any good.

Which is why that game is no better than any other zelda game, which isn't very special nor fun to begin with. At this point you might just play some generic DMC press-X-to-win slasher, I can't see how it can't be more hyped and overpriced, although I'm definitelly not a fan of either.

thats why you not like botw. you are combat guy. will botw is about searching some mystery, secret, adventure, get information. so if you like combat type, i recommend dont play any nintendo game

[mr.who? WcD]

Its Zelda...What did you expect?

[gugnihr]

"Zelda BOTW is insanely, unfairly, outrageously, criminally overrated"

I agree.
Monotonous and boring, music sucks because they did not know where to stop in making it subtle, it is so subtle that it almost does not exist at all, weapons breaking mechanics are frustrating and annoyng, it feels empty, it completely miss the "freedom /free roaming" thing since the only possible goal is to defeat the final boss: I don't care to be free to chosse how I do something if I cannot choose WHAT I want to do! The only enjoyable freedom in games is the freedom to actually choose WHAT you want to do but in BOTW the only meaningful thing to do is to defeat Ganon so everything related to freedom in that game is just BS. And so on...



"and overpriced"

No. If one really like a game it is not that unfair a price like that. The only unfair thing about Nintendo prices is the awful, offensive, disgusting scam of the online subscription. Other than that their products are not cheap but not overpriced either imo.
That awful scam is so horrible that make everything else not worth it anyway, but the problem is only with the subscription for me.
I bought many Nintendo games in the past at full price, I loved them and I think their price was ok.

[notsundk]

BOTW may be repeptitive and expensive, I agree. But saying that it's environment is "awful flat and empty" is just wrong, name an another open-world game with climbing like BOTW. The climbing is just so fun. :D

Yes but that does not make its world empty and uninteresting. They completely missed the point of the type of games they were trying to replice. And they dismissed the things that made Zelda games unique at the same time.

[Alliesaurus]

If you want a good slasher you buy dark souls series, it's the best
