Can someone give me the TLDR take on why this game causes so much seethe?
Can someone give me the TLDR take on why this game causes so much seethe?
It's popular which itself could trigger just about anyone on Zig Forums
It's not yet another A Link to the Past rehash which triggers a lot of Zelda fan
and it's a Nintendo exclusive which will trigger consolewar faggots
It's popular and not a PC game from 10+ years ago.
Intrinsic versus extrinsic reward structure. Also some people always want the same structure, even if it's been going on for like 15 years
these people are stupid
The reason is causes seethe is simple.
Zig Forums swore up and down the switch would fail, they promised it, they SWORE it. The switches launches with BOTW and the game immediately took off and was universally loved. The success of the console and the game shook Zig Forums to the core. Zig Forums's inflated ego imploded into self and Zig Forums has yet to recover. So now, Zig Forums attempts to damage control, doing anything in its power to tarnish the game's name. But it's too late. 18M sales later and a 97 mc score - the game will go down in history as one of the greatest.
Because it is a another successful nintendo game that flexes on the industry yet again after more than 30 years of keeping a franchise fresh, alive and relevant periodically. Which is a phenomenon almost exclusive to nintendo.
To people who have a beef with nintendo, this is unwithstandable. Say a kid grew with playstation. He has to rationalise that crash, spyro, jack&daxter and others aren't relevant anymore because rehashes arent good. And nintendo keeps rehashing games so they are bad.
Truth is all those franchises they love could be alive and well if they had a proper creative treatment and direction that looked beyond 4, 5 years of sequels in short-term.
Zelda being relevant and creating trend and expectation in 2017-2020 doesnt sit well with their conception of the industry, so they will blow out of proportion anything that could be perceived as a flaw in the game, and ironically side with longtime fans that actually would rather have a rehash of the Oot structure, even though they never even tried to like Zelda in the first place.
>It's not like other Zelda games (despite them complaining they were rehashed and not different at all for years)
>It's a beloved experience that actually challenged Zelda, how dare you hate it
>Shrines and Korok Seeds
>Weapon Durability despite that being irrelevant about an hour later
>Open World is good/bad
>Consolewar faggotry
>Shitposters to for attention
These are generally the reasons, some of which can be constructive criticism, very rarely on Zig Forums however.
its shit
Yeah no this isn't what happened.
I got memed. Emulated this because it was hyped, turned out to be dogshit.
it's the most generic, zoomered-up AAA game of the 2010s and it tarnished a formerly amazing franchise. if you've played any ubishit "game," you've played botw.
I think the success of BotW relies on taking the Far cry/asscreed/skyrim template and examining the intrinsecal flaws and fixing them.
I think the open world idea is good, but the problem is the moment to moment gameplay, which usually isnt that fun since most of the open world in those games is unlively atrezzo you can not interact with and so it becomes just filler until you reach interesting setpieces.
BotW didnt focus as much on singular setpieces as on making the traveling between them fun per se by coming up with simple but sturdy interaction systems that makes you be constantly taking small decisions on what elements of the environment you engage with and how you traverse it. Its not just holding the stick forward until you reach the objective marker. Its way more probable you get distracted before reaching your destination in BOTW than in any of those other games.
Man you must have hated the first Zelda.
Literally fpbp.
>Say that it's not the most perfect game in existence
>instantly get a horde of NintoddIers seething at you
It's the perfect shtiposting material.
Unironically: BOTW is the Black Panther of video games.
zelda 1 is pretty meh as far as zelda games go, but it's nothing like botw.
BotW is the Civil War of video games. It's two sides fighting constantly and its insanely popular. BotW2 will be End Game.
what's the point of emulating a handheld?.. i can understand emulating it on another handheld, i played many gba games on the vita, but emulating a switch on windows? why?...
Sonyfags
its for black ppl
I don't think I've ever seethed about a game being popular as much as Zig Forums has with BotW
How come the only thing I see when there's a BotW discussion is Nintendo fans saying that this game makes everyone seethe but I barely see anyone "seethe" about it?
>but I barely see anyone "seethe" about it?
1.you're a fucking newfag
2. you're blind
3. you need to lurk more
It feels unfinished and empty, but fags still love it cause if the name.
Games alright but gets old quick.
yeah, it was only fun for 200 hours.
Just look at this thread you tard
>seethe
Used by redditors with no argument for why the game is trash
A lot like it. Some don't. Some that don't think those that like it do because of its brand.
>1 thread from the 5 or 6 daily BOTW threads over the last 3 years
>>>reddit
fucking newfag go back
chill ninfag
You're trying too hard
>popular franchise, it being popular alone makes Zig Forums niggers seethe
>game does open world better than literally almost all other open world games and gives you freedom to literally do whatever you want and go wherever you want.
>nintendo exclusive to make snoibois and pcfags seethe
>game is just fun and most fags here dont play games to have fun anymore
Because it's actually that fucking good. I'm playing it now for the first time and while its not perfect, I'm blown away at how good it is. It's almost everything I'd want from a 3D Zelda, and the only 3D one so far I've enjoyed as much as the 2D ones.
Why does NinteoddIer seethe so much because people don't like this game?
>LoZ forces you to do things before you progress to endgame
>BotW also forces you to do stuff before you progress to endgame, but it's different because I called it a tutorial level
Based shitposter who's never actually played LoZ.
Anyone got that picture of Nintendo/BotW fans seething like crazy because of Genshin Impact?
Its good but overrated.
combat is kind of bad, there's sometimes lots of emptiness that makes exploration unrewarding, the 4 beasts are underwhelming, weapon breaking gets annoying as enemies get a lot more health later on, etc.
Its still my favorite game in the past decade, mostly because the free running and exploration really appealed to me (although I can see how it doesn't to others)
The game is better on PC though
Because handheld is a gimmick for manchildren and the game is better on PC
It's dumbed down skyrim
It's boring to watch so people who don't own the game see clips of it and assume it's a boring game.
