It’s actually far more limited and has heavy story-gating, you can get to areas earlier but that doesn’t matter because so much of the game is reliant on where you are in the plot and whether or not you’ve completed the pre-requisite sidequests first

I fucking hate this term. It means nothing, it just vaguely describes playing a game with no clear design through line, wasting players' time or allowing you to do whatever the fuck you want, ironically taking away player expression, because nothing you do means anything because anything you want to do works.

>it's still the "use X item here" normal zelda approach, but now it's not engaging gameplay wise and also cumbersome. a total step back.

Stop talking such utter shit. The game allows you to use items in all sorts of interesting ways - outside of their seemingly intended use - to allow players to approach puzzles on their own terms. A player solving a puzzle will feel like they achived it in their own unique way rather than some predetermined binary solution.

Its honestly laughble to watching seething shitters like you trying to come up with ridiculous reductive shitposting rather than accept the reality that Nintendo just released yet another great video game.

But we all knew seethers would fart blood on launch day.

>have bat fly you over to platform
>WOW OH MY SCIENCE SUCH AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION?! HOW DID NINTENDO DO IT?!

>>690027332
i never said the game is bad. you still can't read.

all you are saying to me is that the game is even easier and doesn't actually require out of the box thinking to reach your goals, as there are always multiple ways to reach your goal. i.e. a "do whatever you want" approach.

so the same failing as totk where you could invalidate most obstacles and puzzles by flying.
great gamedesign, truly

>>690026368
This looks absolutely fucking atrocious. Know what good game design looks like? Specified items for specified purposes. Because that allows you to properly gate players, and it's why BotW/TotK are fucking awful games, because you can do "anything", which really means there's no reason to do anything, because you're handed god powers at the start of the game and all exploration is completely unrewarding.

Let me take a recent game, Mini and Max. This game has its own issues with item gating due to random power up dispersion, but there's one early item gate that's great. The game lets you shrink, and around the shrunk map, there are occasional pixels that are out of place. Being a gaymer, I noted the positions of these pixels, and later on when I got the ability to super shrink, I was able to run back to them in 5 seconds and shrink down to look at them. That's good game design. Running over to a platform 50 different ways with abilities you have from the start of the game is dull, puzzles need SOLUTIONS, not master keys.

>>690027332
so not only are you free to tackle puzzles anyway you want, therefore making it easy as fuck but also there isn't even actual combat or actual gameplay aside from navigating your character on the screen. what a masterpiece, indeed

>>690027332

>>690027332
using your toolset in interesting or even unintended ways to reach a goal is only interesting if those tools are directly tied to player skill.

for example how you can get many stars in SM64 in different ways, all dependent on your skill as a player in engaging with movement mechanics. and you can reach your goal a lot faster or in fun ways, the better you are.

in those new zeldas all it is, is 80% menu navigation and then plopping shit into the world to get what you want. no skill needed, no actual player expression present

>>690022801

Do you feel you can kinda wander around the map alot, I guess just to fugg around without triggering story progression until you.. kinda want to?

And if so, does exploring a digging around feel rewarding.

( These are my questions )

>>690026368
This isnt brilliant game design whatsoever, do you just post banal fucking gameplay and then call it amazing because it has the Nintendo seal?

>>690027332
>A player solving a puzzle will feel like they achived it in their own unique way rather than some predetermined binary solution.
As someone who has been playing it and “solving” puzzles outside of the intended solution I haven’t felt like I achieved anything creative or did something out of the box

Zora temple for instance is designed like a temple from BotW/TotK where you hit five buttons in any order. The lead up to the temple involves spamming water blocks to gain vertical height. When the temple starts the floor collapses and Tri immediately says “uh oh Zelda, how do we get out?” You can choose to either go through the intended path of climbing ladders or bypass all that by doing exactly what you did before you entered the temple and just… spamming more water blocks. The main central room with the five locks requiring the switches can also be ignored entirely by spamming water blocks to get to the 2nd floor and grabbing the boss key, then using more water blocks to get to the boss door, neither of which have any buildup or presentation to them beforehand. It all just feels hollow

>>690026368
....this is adversity? Choosing to do the most extra tryhard option instead of jumping down the ledge? Having more options to get from point A to B is the opposite of overcoming adversity through wit, it's literally the definition of pandering to the user through a wide range of options which trivialize the challenge in the first place.

>>690028131
The problem is that these games are designed for babies who don't understand that solving a lazy puzzle feels hollow, because they have never actually had to solve a puzzle. Paint by numbers slop is the name of the game, they might as well add a fucking compass at the top to point you to the next dull story event.

That moment where everything clicks and you realise that you have to use X on Y is fantastic. The moment where you realise A works on B-Z puzzle makes you wonder why you even bothered playing the game, because it has zero respect for you.

>>690028131
gotta love the "invalidate all challenges by using 2% brain power" design approach.

truly amazing to live in a time where you are so free to do what you want in games, so you don't even have to actually play them.
zoomers who think this is good design need to be chemically castrated, I'm not even kidding. they failed a basic intelligence test and shouldn't reproduce

>>690028131
Your example honestly highlights a real issue, and also helps to make a stark contrast between nu zelda and old zelda.

IMO, a sequence break should be hard to do, if it's possible. Something on par with almost a glitch, even. That's what modern Zelda lacks. The sequence breaks feel so built in that they don't take effort. Let's compare this to, oh say, Super Metroid. Yeah it's quite non-linear and you can do alot of stuff out of its intended, but you damn well better make sure that you have the skill to pull it off. If you don't want to fight Kraid, then you need to make your way through hot environments, while managing your health, while not getting hit even once, taking advantage of crystal flash if need be, AND you have to be careful not to softlock yourself. Sequence breaking super metroid is therefore something they allow you to do, but it's not their main intention, so it's much harder to pull off.

>>690028430
You have to remember these kids have never touched a game more than 18 years old, they literally do not have a concept of what they're missing out on, and if you tried to make them play an old game they'd get upset that they couldn't sleepwalk through it because that's what "accessibility" over the past 20 years means, boring as shit games for infants.

>all you are saying to me is that the game is even easier and doesn't actually require out of the box thinking to reach your goals

Wrong. Thats ALL you do. I've neen playing a few hours now and a few times I've been stumped thinking "how do I get over there?" "what do I do here?" "can I do that yet".

And then I after experimenting with my echoes and abilities I'm able to forge a way forward which feels *I* solved on my own.

The game is great. Seethe moar.

It's because you were born a subhuman UTC+2 Eastern Europoor. Your IQ is below 90 due to fetal alcohol syndrome so a basic puzzle stumps you hard.

Nope. Two different players may have completely different toolsets when they reach a puzzle and will come up with two completely different solutions.

thats not good.

so you're saying you can always solve the obstacle however you see fit and there is no actual challenge. just picking one of many options from a menu.

that's not player agency, that's just noclip with extra steps

Beat it. Played 21h not being obsessive about finding heart containers but explored entire game.

Graphics are not noteworthy. It's blurry as fuck at times and the framerate is sub 20 but we'll call that an emulator issue for now.
Music made me question why games even have music. A couple places did briefly remix old themes.
Too much talking.
World exploration is completely open. You can go wherever at the start.
Combat is pretty awful as you mostly just summon 1 enemy to fight the others with no cost to do so. Occassionally you can use energy to become Link and actually attack.
Why is telepathy a thing? Seriously 90% of the game is placing beds and using telepathy to move objects. This is not what I think of as Zelda.
Puzzles are pretty basic. I'd say the difficulty is designed at the level of an asian school girl. Only thing that confused me was two switches that need to be pressed at the same time in a room that had 2 pots and 2 statues. Puzzles pretty much always use monsters from their own room or one you just came from.
Bosses are decent and summons are useless for damaging them so you end up transforming into Link and screwing around to regain energy if you didn't make potions for it.

It's an ok game and only Zelda I bothered with since Windwaker shit the bed.

>>690028087
You can go wherever you want from the start. The only real reward is collecting enemies to summon. You are not able to summon the strongest ones until you get upgrades from progress though.

You disliking certain recent implementations doesn't make the term meaningless; it's merely a general descriptor for when games have highly dynamic systems and mechanics that interact with each other.

It's doesn't unavoidably lead to trivializable games, either; content and challenges can simply be designed around the powerful player toolset. It's entirely possible.
Nintendo in particular doesn't really design Zelda content that way because Zelda's puzzles have always been fairly easy.

You did not play the game, it has a hard mode unlocked from the start and an actual skill ceiling by making battles and puzzles faster to complete if you use echoes efficiently.
It has more challenge than any 2D Zelda, with the exception of AoL but that's a very different game.

just finished it tonight
it's like a 7.8/10
i mostly really enjoyed it and i'll probably pick it up at a later date to do a 100% replay

that said there were a lot of odd choices and it was entirely too easy, think i only ever died once
it has the BotW problem of the game just getting much easier as it goes on
the dungeons, of which there are about 6 with 3 or so minidungeons, were also all quite simple and i don't think i spent more than 30 minutes in any of them
rifts get tiresome after a while, you do the same thing in all of them
going in and out of sword mode makes the game come to a screeching halt
while most of the echoes are useful in one way or another, there's like 4 of them that can be used to solve a majority of problems in the game. the platboom and flying tile in particular just break the game in half and on top of making traversal very easy they also solved many, many puzzles

as for positives, the world is pretty big for a 2D zelda and there's a lot to see and do. i think i spent about 20 hours on it in total.
getting new echoes and experimenting is fun, even if the menuing really brings it down
zelda has a very different playstyle from most of the series, which makes it feel fresh and interesting and it mostly works quite well

i'll also say as much as i liked it, $60 is a lot to ask for it. it should really be $40.

Playing right now. A few hours in. Its superb. Easily a 9/10 so far. Might even put it my Top 5 Zeldas by the end.

These self-reports are hilarious. Zelda hasn't been a difficult game since the original, or maybe links adventure if you really wanna go there. (And those games were generally poorly designed to waste your time). It's a franchise designed for children. If you ever had to think a lot about most of the puzzles in a Zelda game, you're the subhuman IQ retard.

Why is video game discussion so deranged, unhinged, and polarized nowadays, though? I've been on the fence about this game since reveal, I'm not an automatic buyer of every Nintendo product, I didn't buy Mario Wonder, but it's not because I think it's an irredeemable piece of shit that poops on the Mario formula, just wasn't fully convinced on the value proposition. I guess at this point I'm just going to have to make a choice since the info is all out there, but it's just so bizarre how furious you chimps get over video games, and how much verbal raw sewage is spilled that says absolutely nothing. Pretty much no game in existence can be as bad as you all are saying. Making certifiably insane, hyperbolic statements about a product in either direction doesn't make you seem trustworthy

It’s not, though.
>You aren't solving anything. The game decides when you can have the item which solves the puzzle. It’s a lock/key braindead solution.
Depends entirely on how you acquire the “key”, when you come across the “lock”, whether or not the “lock” requires multiple “keys”, etc. Saying “you aren’t solving anything!” is like saying you aren’t actually making progress or playing the game because the events in them have a set order you were bound to come across by just playing naturally. It’s such a reductive way to look at games as a whole

>>690055646
Yet here you are in a Zelda thread seething like fuck.

I'm finding the game a little bit obnoxious. The fact that you need to open a menu to do every single action gets old after a bit. Does this get better later on or does it get worse with the amount of shit you get?

They have their flaws and most I would say majority aren't GoTY tier but they're hardly the hyperbolic "garbage" claims drivel that come from these threads. People need to learn what an actual "shit" game is. No Zelda game is as bad as Superman 64 or Alien Colonial marines, y'know actual bad games. I'm involved in multiple fanbases and Zelda fans by far cry and whine the most as well as suck off each game as if it's the second coming. The lowest I'd give any Zelda game is like a 6/10, which ST/PH fall under.

Yep it's a low IQ manchild

>>690056809
It's a 6/10 game but it's made by dogshittendo so that boosts it up to an 8.5

Objectively, what is the defense for removing fall damage from pits? That's just one among many questionable design choices, that paints the game as being too casualized.

Pirating this on ryujinx and enjoying an experience that is superior in EVERY way to playing it on an actual Switch lol

I didn’t feel like I was being creative doing this or that I had “beaten the system” or whatever, I just felt robbed of what could have been a decent puzzle. Haven’t done Eldin or Lanayru yet but I’ve consistently seen people say Lanayru is the best in the game next to Faron so we’ll see

>>690058254
>>690058302
So level with me here, is modern zelda supposed to be a fresh new take on the series, or is it supposed to be a blind rehash? Because you keep saying that the old formula was stale and terrible, and yet you abhor the idea of offering a challenge because "OLD ZELDA WAS NEVER CHALLENGING". You repeat simultaneous mantras about how old is bad, and then you cling to bad game design from older games like it was your life blood.

Hell, you guys have personally ragged on OOT for being the worst thing to ever exist in the series, but you soi-faced at the memberberries like when Volvagia showed up. Like it's weird that you would be happy to see OOT iconography, when you despise the game "starting the death spiral of OOT slop".

You are adding arguments that aren't there either from schizophrenia or in bad-faith due to being unable to argue what you were actually presented with.
I've enjoyed plenty of Zelda titles but never once found any of them even slightly difficult.
It's like >>690058659
said. You are conflating
>the games aren't difficult
with
>the old formula was stale and terrible
the criticism in this thread of the new title largely stems from claiming the game is easy, lacks challenge, or has features that supposedly remove certain obstacles.
Yet, earlier Zeldas were not difficult and I would argue that people never played Zelda for its difficulty or for complex puzzles, neither of which the earlier games have.
That does not make the earlier games bad, only that the gameplay was enjoyable for other reasons.

just finished the gerudo dungeon, on my way to for the zora stuff.
how the fuck do you control the birds when you're attached to them btw.

>>690058714
NTA, and I agree. Zelda hasn't been somewhat challenging since ALttP. But if we're really being serious here it hasn't been challenging since AoL. You can have four faries, red potions, things like the Heart L-2 ring in the Oracles to NEVER be afraid of dying.

>I've enjoyed plenty of Zelda titles but never once found any of them even slightly difficult.
I enjoyed Zelda titles of old as well, but the thing is that, after 30 years, they should be improving their craft, not mindlessly rehashing the past.

>OLD GAMES WEREN'T THAT DIFFICULT
>NEVER MAKE THEM HARD, THEY HAVE TO REMAIN BABY DIFFICULTY!

And you know, thinking on it, I honestly can't go back to older Zelda games without romhacks and randomizers to freshen up the difficulty, because unfortunately the ones that lacked challenge just aren't that appealing on subsequent replays. Meanwhile, EOW refuses to learn from the mistakes of the past and actually makes them even worse. You still haven't answered an earlier inquiry of mine, by the way.

>why did they remove fall damage from pits

You keep shying away from that.

>>690059310
>Name anything in the OG Zeldas that you struggled with.
I struggled with Ganon in the final section of Zelda 1. Since you can't set up a bed and magically sleep away, while an AI partner kills him. I also struggled with Shiba.

>>690059310
“struggled with” is the wrong term to use since nothing in these games ever acts as a brick wall in terms of difficulty
Theres been moments where I’ve been stumped on where to go next or what the next part of a puzzle should be like Eagles Tower in LA or certain parts of MM on a blind run but nobody should ever be struggling with Zelda unless it’s their first ever game and they were thrown into the game halfway in with no context as to what to do

>And you know, thinking on it, I honestly can't go back to older Zelda games without romhacks and randomizers to freshen up the difficulty, because unfortunately the ones that lacked challenge just aren't that appealing on subsequent replays. Meanwhile, EOW refuses to learn from the mistakes of the past and actually makes them even worse.
So this game is no different. It's arbitrary to single out this game then and to the extent you say "well they should have made this one harder" you could apply that argument to the last Zelda, or the one before that and so on.
>If Zelda was "never hard" then why make it even easier and remove such a thing?
>You keep shying away from that.
I explicitly answered it in >>690058714
which you didn't even reply to or quote. Why not?
>Since you can't set up a bed and magically sleep away,
You seem to focus very much on this point while disregarding the other healing options Zelda already provides. As I pointed out (in the argument you ignored) health is already a non-issue in Zelda games.
>>690059215
even highlighted this. Why would I need a bed if I have fairies, potions, can find hearts, etc? Why do I care about removing fall damage from pits when pits were never a concern in the first place?
That would be like saying a new Mario game is for casuals if they made it so a hammer bro dies in four fireballs instead of five. In a literal sense that makes it easier, in a practical sense, who gives a shit? Is it actually making the game more or less difficult in practice?

>>690059461
ok, so I'm guessing i could end up spending hours trying to do the hiring gliding thing. or is that an actual strategy to it? i can kind of make the crow go the way i want by releasing then quickly rebinding when they're facing the right away, but it's tedious.

>>690060268
>So this game is no different.
The issue is twofold. First point: I can still point to moments in the old games where I legitimately liked the direction of the puzzles, which were more than just single rooms where you pressed a button or something. In installments like the Oracle titles or LTTP, there were often puzzles that required you to solve them over the course of the entire dungeon, not just pushing buttons, but learning timings and figuring out how every puzzle came together to form one large solution. Hell, half the dungeon could just be about solving one single puzzle, but it would take a long time to finally get all the pieces you need.

The second point is the overworld movement, and how the purposeful limitations on the character made exploration appealing. If there was a way to sequence break, then it required not just knowledge of how to do it, but mechanical execution as well. You didn't just press a button and get magic noclip and godmode, unlike EOW. There was a sense of progression as you moved forward. EOW doesn't do that, everything is magically open from the get go.

>which you didn't even reply to or quote. Why not?
Apparently they were super difficult, if you felt the need to remove damage from pits, and add healing on-demand. Why remove these things from a series you said wasn't hard? shouldn't we be adding more hazards? Shouldn't the games be more difficulty?

>You seem to focus very much on this point while disregarding the other healing options Zelda already provides.
Zelda 1 giving you a single red potion that heals you once isn't comparable to EOW letting you shove food down your throat without cooldown or consequence.

>Why would I need a bed if I have fairies, potions, can find hearts, etc?
In those games, the resources were at least limited. Even with OOT, the most you had was 4 bottles. With EOW they let you spam it with reckless abandon. You're taking issues and making them worse. You're not improving.

They need to constantly change the script depending on what makes Nintendo more money. I wouldn't expect consistency from a shill.

Can someone share a save past dungeon 1 but before dungeon 3? I want to check something but I don't want to replay the start to do it.

It's not amazing. Its just... more Zelda. Basic story for 7 years old. Basic gameplay. Basic nice little happy inoffensive adventure.

It's just boring. If you're a big Zelda fan you'll probably like it obviously but the game isn't amazing. Another Zelda game where the world is vast but deep as a puddle. Honestly made for little kids and girls.

Almost done with the game, here's my take.

First off, the positives.
- It's the biggest top down Zelda yet, the world is huge and there are a lot of sidequests and mini-games.
- The game does a decent mix of story driven linearity and open world exploration, offering forks at certain story points.
- Personally, I really liked the art style, it's much more polished and detailed than Link's Awakening. There's stuff like fish swimming in water, birds sitting in trees, butterflies hovering over grass etc.

Now, the negatives:
- The performance is atrocious, the game can't hit its 60 fps target most of the time. Just watch the Digital Foundry video. Simply unacceptable for a first party game.
- Picking 100+ echoes via a single row with no favorites is terrible UX.
- The minion combat is very janky, e.g. most monster echoes attack immediately after being spawned, and then have a long pause until their next attack, so you just re-summon them over and over, which feels like abusing a glitch.
- The sword gauge, which runs out in seconds, feels like a middle finger. It's like Aonuma personally telling you "my way or the highway". Granted, the salt + milk smoothie "fixes" this issue, but I didn't engage with the cooking system until late game, and the 4th dungeon boss took me a really long time to beat because of this.
- Skyward Sword tier hand holding. The fairy companion will explain a thing, then there will be a full screen tutorial pop-up saying the exact same thing again. You walk into a small room with nothing but a single door with a huge lock icon on it, cue the fairy chiming in with "hey Zelda, maybe we can use the key you just found on this door???". Every single time you activate a warp point, you'll need to click through 2 text boxes explaining what a warp point is, and they're everywhere.

Still worth it as a Zelda fan.

Are the puzzles in the game too difficult? I'm low IQ.

>>690024138
>It’s actually far more limited and has heavy story-gating, you can get to areas earlier but that doesn’t matter because so much of the game is reliant on where you are in the plot and whether or not you’ve completed the pre-requisite sidequests first
this is the first good thing i've read about this game. does this game have real dungeons or just more "shrines"/"press these 4 buttons that have nothing to do with each other or any interactivity and just happen to be in the same general area"

>>690026368

The dungeons are very hit or miss, I thought Gerudo and Faron were amazing, but Eldin is literally a straight line to the boss and the only "puzzle" is putting the rock platform echo in the lava over and over. And the boss is a shitty nostalgia throwback that you'll just facetank.

Haven't yet found a way to play it in an acceptable form. Have to disable horrible dof and bloom on all versions. On my OC switch, it can't maintain 1080p 60 fps, resolution dip to ~720p and 30 fps constantly. Yuzu and its fork have some texture and audio issues but have nice framerate. Ryujinx have some texture issues and stutters often.

Ryujinx runs fine with vsync off, no glitches or bugs of any sort. As for the micro stutter, I had to do this.

Can't help if you're on AMD though, AMD GPU's have tons of issues on Ryujinx.
