I've never seen a compelling argument for why Botw doesn't completely mog the shit out of Oot. Botw is obviously so absurdly good it beats the game to an inch of its life, says an iconic Jojo line in Japanese with subtitles, and then tosses Oot into the Ww sea.
>>
>>737852269
That's like saying you can't find a compelling argument for why apples are better than oranges. One is an actual Zelda game and the other is every open world game on the market. They're two entirely different games. You either like one or the other or both for different reasons.

Zelda isn't Zelda if everything I can find via exploration is a slight shuffle of something I found by traveling from A to B. The reason people fall back on mentioning items in dungeons is because getting something that lets you engage with new mechanics is obviously not possible to copy and paste somewhere else verbatim.

making non shitty multiplayer games. Splatoon should be the fucking standard of what multiplayer shooters should be. Also I will laugh when Splatoon raiders comes out and completely mogs all other extraction shooter games

ok I make it simple, you can rip up the ground and skate around, use it to double jump, and throw it where you aim, or swing it around like a weapon too.

you ask for groundbreaking, I hand you literal groundbreaking on a silver platter, your mind shatters to shit


what other developers breaking new ground, nobody, that's what I fucking thought chump

Splatoon raiders is only pve/pve co-op right? That's the only reason that it will mog other extraction shooters
>>
>>737861763

Make the switch a swiss army knife of consoles
Having the Switch still be portable
Fitting mouse function in a controller format
Implement actual game design principles in an open world format
Raise the bar for 3D platformer movements
Fully allows new ips and ideas to still be viable
Astral chain is BASED. AS. FUCK.
Metroid dread actually brought in a new era for metroidvanias
Make RPG combat more interesting and actually fun with the Mario and Luigi series
In general, while expensive allow games to not always have DLC and NO MTX

Splatoon is peak and the fact it’s mostly ignored on /v/ (like counter-strike) is just evidence of its absolute superiority.

I'm sick to death of how all of a sudden people are labeling OoT 'linear', when all they really mean is item gated, and trying to lump it in some category distinct from LoZ and BotW, as if it's anything like TP or SS.

Progression of the game? oh it's deku tree, then death mountain, then jabujabu, then either forest temple or fire temple, then water temple, then shadow temple, then spirit temple. Item gates or not, it's linear.

yes, splatoon raiders is focused on being a singleplayer game. But really, I feel like that's EXACTLY how other extraction shooters SHOULD BE and not live service shlock

They make good games for kids, but i cant phantom why grownups buy that shit. There is literally only games for kids, basically shit I played when i was a young teenager. Maybe there are some niche Jap games I have no clue about that might be good? If they ever release some nice 18+ exclusive games I might consider checking it out, but for now hard pass.

Great character design and variety of interesting art-styles that are usually a blend of western and anime.

Really polished movement that feels like a videogame and not cinematic slop with slow animations where your input is more like a suggestion than direct control.

I don't like when they add shit like bullet-time or parrying or crafting into their games.

Yes, because it signals to the rest of the human species with a soul that you have none, and you'll probably die defending your heroin and child pornography.

They didn't do that, Gamefreak and Pokemon Company did. I cannot think of anything Nintendo themselves patented in an attempt to prevent others from doing it. They are famous for doing so just to ensure nobody else pulls that shit on others. Shiggy joked about how he should have patented jumps lol.

"Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. in September 2024, alleging Palworld infringes on multiple patent rights."

The only few I know either have kids or its just to get that nostalgia kick from games like mario, zelda and more.

The big majority I talk with just owns a good PC which is like 90% and thats it.

I know. This is why the Disney comparison doesn't work. It's like, yes, Nintendo fans can be manchildren and all that, and their games often appear childish, but Nintendo truly does mog the fuck out of everyone else and has the highest standards in the industry.

If you had to choose between:
a) You can only play games on Nintendo (first and second party) games for the rest of you life
b) You can play everything else, *except* for Nintendo games (so no PC ports or emulation of them)

it would be perfectly reasonable to choose (a).

Someone who exclusively watched Disney branded films, excluding everything else, would rightly be called childish, because as good as Disney can be, they're only so good and cinema has so much more to offer someone beyond what they can.

This legitimately doesn't apply to Nintendo because at their best they're capable of offering levels of refinement that you hardly see other developers being capable of, and there's nobody else beating them at their shit.

>>
>>737865027
The problem here is that, for all the flaws BotW/TotK have, other open world games are generally so borked and either limited or broken that the polish and flexibility they offer is genuinely a massive step up. Elder Scrolls is hacked together crap made to be modded, Witcher is really basic and repetitive, and GTA/RDR are way too mission focused while having badly thought out mechanics.
>>
>>737865269
>MORALITY IS NEEDED FOR LAW!??!?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!??!
Yeah. Laws come from morality, you marxist Jew.

TotK was a silent stagnation of the franchise, even more than even haters claim.
10 years after BotW and ToTK is just a expansion pack DLC 7 years later.
Ideally we should already be playing a new Zelda game that builds upon BotW. and not the building gimmick we're indifferent to and already forgotten about in TotK.
>>
>>737851290
God-tier employee retention means that institutional knowledge is preserved, while also bringing in enough new blood to keep the system fresh. Super Mario Bros was made by, what, five men? Every single one of them were still in the credits for Super Mario Wonder.
