A comprehensive list of things that Breath of the Wild does well:

[Thyme]

And Zelda fancucks claim this is a better combat system than Skyrim's?

i was initially going to say that i did prefer botw's combat to skyrim's, but near the end of my post i realized i think they're equally okay

but when i think combat system, i tend to think more about the ease/fluidity of movement, the different tactics, etc. than the actual weapons available

and in the case of botw, well...
personally i really didn't like not being able to roll, which is something not only the From Software games and God of War games and other various combat-heavy third-person games got me used to but also... previous 3D zelda games??? and is it me or did z-targeting have a weirdly short range? idk
but hey, when it clicked, it clicked
despite not being able to roll, link moved very fluidly and responsively, and there were of course lots of possibilities with arrows and bombs and the environment and the paraglider
too bad it's wasted on such spongey and repetitive enemies

skyrim's combat was v. similar imo, in that it was boring most of the time, and sometimes very janky, creation engine obliged, but did have its exciting moments
unrelentingly forcing a dude down a mountain was the ultimate power fantasy

[Thyme]

obligatory "why cant zelda roll" joke

[don't let's]

well you're completely correct about it being one of the stupidest mistakes even though you haven't played the game yet (i do hope you will)

the game actually disincentivizes combat, the very core mechanic of the zelda games since the series' inception

And Zelda fancucks claim this is a better combat system than Skyrim's?

I want to get a switch first. Which I don't know when that'll be.

which system would you say caused you more frustration overall

I want to get a switch first. Which I don't know when that'll be.

me neiths but i was stupid enough to have purchased a wii u so lol

[Thyme]

well, botw never crashed on me

[Kalahari Inkantation]

I'm bashing it too lol.

I think I was the original basher here

you definitely were and i had sincerely hoped i would find myself in complete disagreement with you upon playing it myself

Unfortunate, you turned out to be entirely right.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

well, botw never crashed on me

rofl i'd forgotten that you played skyrim on ps3

and certainly that would make your perception of the game more negative than it would otherwise have been, even if you did greatly enjoy it to the extent that you could on the nightmarishly engineered sh@box of a console that was the ps3 lol

I have a wii u but it's got that memory corruption error and I've been needing to send it off for repair for the last 2 years or so. And I'd rather have it on a cartridge than a disc.

here's an undeniable thing that botw did well

[spoiler]it sold well[/spoiler]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

And it's pretty much solely responsible for the Switch's wholly undeserved popularity.

[TooB]

I wouldn't say it's fully "undeserved," but it IS wholly overblown

[Kalahari Inkantation]

alright so i'm updating the comprehensive list of things that breath of the wild does well

here's what i have so far:

• the way stuff reacts to stuff


• getting hit by lightning for the first time (...and then never again having to worry about it at all)


• [spoiler][/spoiler]
  
  [spoiler]
  
  just look at those bedroom eyes
  
  tfw you'll never touch that hard [glow=black,2,300]beak[/glow] :'([/spoiler]


• $ale$

quite an impressive list if i may say so myself

[Thyme]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Here's a good thing imo...

I like Link and Zeldas character designs.

i'm not even sure i really like zelda's design from the waist up neck up

she looks even more like a fish than mipha does

her outfit is nice though

and link certainly a cute

Zelda kinda sucks
This may be true in many Zelda games, but there are standouts.
I'm just sad this isn't one of them. Also, her voice acting is lame.

and yeah she does happen to be the whiniest, most useless zelda of all time lol

and that's a truly incredible accomplishment

she killed millions out of sheer incompetence, and literally all she ever does is complain about how hopeless the situation is

rofl

i actually did forget one:

• æstheticcs

[Samus Aran]

this zelda does have a phat ass tho and lots of people are all over that

of course, this game actually caused more fishfuckers than anything
