    Nintendo managed to make an open world action-adventure more tedious than a turn based cRPG

      Get your downvote ready everyone, I haven’t played the new Zelda but I did play and beat botw and it was just okay for me. I found it to be very over rated. It’s not even close to my top 10.

          TotK makes BotW feel like an unfinished Beta. This is coming from someone who didnt complete BotW but beat TotK with all shrines and such. The fact that you can make a custom airbike and even use it in some dungeons makes all the difference, IMO.

            There’s a bike in BotW… You just have to beat everything a super hard optional boss to get it! Oh, and it’s not an air bike.

            I thought BOTW was a glorified tech demo and TOTK was a proper game using the same engine.

            I still didn’t get completely hooked, but it was a big step forward in terms of not being completely devoid of anything to do.

          I’ve picked it up twice and it was a snore both times. The fact that you can’t continue after you beat the game is dumb and I absolutely despise the weapon durability bullshit.

            Yea the weapon durability mechanic is so bad

            I get the, your weapon breaks so you need to fight to get a new one, but then I was evading goblin camps because my good sword would break and all I would get was shitty clubs

            Plus there was one of the bosses that I basically had to grind through because he would destroy all my weapons and shields. Very bad design

              The combat is a downgrade from OOT. The lock on was less reliable and harder to switch.
