I don't care if it's open world or any of that. Just fucking have actual good dungeons and bosses other than a handful in a game that game expand to over 100 hours if you really try. All the dungeons being "light the x amount of things to open the way to the boss OooooOoOooOoo" is so gay. And a lot of the main story fights are well shit then the random field boss and Ganon are the best the game has to offer.

Bongo bongo is more memorable than most botw slop and that mf is just a big invisible eyeball with fucking hands.

There was a perfect image explaining how to make realistic worlds but I lost it somewhere and can't find it in the archives either. But in a nutshell it explained that to create a realistic world you have to first start with which way the wind blows and where the oceans are, because the state of the world is based on wind. These anons
>>680961327
>>680961565
bring up cases where the land suddenly becomes an arid desert, this is because of the direction the wind blows. The mountains right next to those locations block the winds from bringing water from the sea, so you can go from lush green to arid wasteland.
It went into more detail about where mountains and hills should be and stuff like that but I forgot it all.

I remember more interesting landmarks and the towns in BotW then I do random landmarks and towns from WW, TP, SS and OoT. MM was memorable to me but it was much higher quality than other 3D Zelda games.
I don't get the meme hate for BotW. Kakkariko, Akkala and Lurelin were super memorable. The towers, the broken fort where the soldiers died, so many peaks and valleys stick out in my mind while I can barely remember any of the boring hallways that lead to dungeons from OoT.

Freedom makes me engage with the game and pay more attention. Linear games are basically on rails so you turn your brain off.

Zelda dungeons are good if they have the following:
>A sense of actual danger
>Progression through keys and a dungeon item
>A mini boss
>Puzzles and riddles
>Good boss fight
>At least ok soundtrack
>A theme like "inside of volcano" or "temple burried in the desert"

I remember that feeling of isolation and danger when going into a dungeon in the old games.
Like that place itself was conscious and did everything it could to show you that you were not welcome. You enter a room with half your hearts and the door could just close on you after entering, with 3 difficult enemies trying to kill you. You see all these places you should be able to go but you can't.
Over time you grow accustomed to the place and figure out the secrets.
Then you fight the miniboss and get the dungeon item which entices you to backtrack the place and look for more secrets.
You clear everything and explore until all ends with a satisfying boss encounter.

>That's like saying you play all the Souls games but dislike boss fights in general.

That's actually a perfectly good analogy. Souls was never initially boss focused and exploration was always the far more important aspect, and only the later games emphasized the bosses heavily.

I have no idea how someone could play 3D Zelda and think the dungeons were the best parts. Most of them only have like 3 actual puzzles, and the rest of it is filler to make the time it takes to get the actual item much longer (which is a complete PITA because getting to use the new item should be the main point of the dungeons).

>>680972118

Even in the earliest Souls games bosses were something you could not just avoid.
If you dislike one aspect of something so much and that thing pops up frequently then why even bother?
I get why some people dislike Zelda dungeons or Souls boss fights but why play all these games then?
Especially if you consider games like OOT or TP (which both have great dungeons) where massive part of gameplay hours is spent in the dungeons or getting to them.

>I get why some people dislike Zelda dungeons or Souls boss fights but why play all these games then?

Because they have the most interesting worlds and best exploration and interaction mechanics in all gaming.

>where massive part of gameplay hours is spent in the dungeons
Most of that time is basically wasted on 'fluff' that isn't challenging and just delays the actually interesting thing the dungeons do well (letting you get and use new items). The dungeons in those games barely have any interesting secrets in them, just the occasional stray skultula, so all the actually creative things, taking advantage of time mechanics etc, are outside the dungeons,

This is EUIV right? Do you guys have a specific YouTube series that teaches me how to play the game or something easy to follow? I've tried multiple times but have always been overwhelmed by the UI and options. I feel like it's not that hard to learn but I seemingly can't wrap my dumb ape brain around it.

Let's say you dislike eating bugs. Would you eat a cake if it contained 40% bugs?
Would you come back over and over and eat bug cakes?
These games have many things to offer but why would people continue playing them when a large section of gameplay gets spent on something they immensly dislike? As you pointed out dungeons take up a lot of time in Zelda games.
There are a bunch of games that I believe have great features but I wouldn't play them even if I got them for free because they also have features I massively dislike. Why would I then play the rest of the franchise?

Zora's Domain exists. It's to the far far far upper right. It's got those green River Zoras.

Which in the trailer we see the Lake/Sea Zoras interact with, I'd assume we have a new map based on the images we have so far; they just have some specific repeating locations this time around.

First is CK2 and second is EU4.
Play the tutorial, look at how war declerations work and then play a campaign with the Ottomans. Push green modifiers as good as you can, especially Absolutism.
Don't ignore aggressive expansion and from there watch a short guide whenever you encounter something massively hindering your gameplay. For example: When you get completely fucked in battles despite always outnumbering the opponent, watch a 10 minute video on EU4 combat.
This works with pretty much everything.
Just don't even try to understand how trade works. Collect trade in capital and use other merchants to steer trade to capital for most nations.

>Would you eat a cake if it contained 40% bugs?
This doesn't work because the bugs would poison the rest of the cake and make it disgusting, whereas the dungeons being ordeals make you appreciate the rest of the game in contrast.

>Would you come back over and over and eat bug cakes?
If the rest of the cake was the most beautiful tasting thing ever, which it is in this case, then absolutely. Like, I'm not even opposed to either dungeons or bosses in principle, it's just that they happen to suck at offering interesting challenges, which is a problem that could definitely be overcome and done well.

The bugs are spread in a way that sections of the cake are pure bugs and pure cake but to get from one cake section to the next you would have to get through a section of bugs.

I don't know I simply wouldn't enjoy a game if it had such massive sections I simply disliked even if I loved other parts of it.
Guess it feels different to you for Zelda games but I couldn't see myself playing them if I disliked the dungeons in general since they take up so much of the gameplay.

It's a theme park blob.

Elden rings map is how open worlds should be. Large open sub regions, divided by rough terrain, at the pass through point to another region. Still open and seamless, but at the same time when entering a new area for the first time it feels like a special, memorable experience.

The vista shots when you enter the capital, or liurna from limgrave.

It's literally a theme park ride. No actual freedom just large empty fields with a dungeon in the middle and then you get funneled into the next empty field.

There actually is a way, and if you know the game enough you can do it.
No you can't boot the game up with no knowledge of the game world you're in and bum rush to the final boss as the first thing you encounter, thats garbage game design.
>>
>>680959854
The map design is fine, but there were areas with a huge amounts of space that were barely worth exploring unless you had completionism autism. The dungeons and mazes all looked out of place. Kakariko village, Zoras domain, Korok Forest, and that jungle area were the only placed I thought were cool and were fun to explore.

XCX has the same issue of being pretty fucking cool to see but relatively empty of content. I liked BotW and XCX both, but in term of secrets/content/quests that appears in the overworld they're pretty much the same.

It's not Witcher 3 level of empty eye candy Ubisoft RPG maps, sure, but they're not what I'd call excellent. OoT and Elden Ring unironically shits on both of them in term of content density.

I'll always be fond of XCX because the map is so fucking cool, and you got to pilot a huge flying mecha through the terrain thoughoever.
