>>
>>740289902
the story was fucking shit. why did they retcon all the sheikah stuff out. the new zonai aesthetic looks terrible and having zelda play damsel again instead of having her own gameplay sections was a major missed opportunity. why rehash the memory system for exposition when that was the most criticised part of BOTW

aonuma really thought he could get away with doing BOTW again and get free GOTY awards from cucks, tendies and journos
>>
>>740293384
>why rehash the memory system for exposition when that was the most criticised part of BOTW
Because Aonuma refuses to listen to criticism ever since BotW got big. Go look at how there's still no grid system for selecting items when that would alleviate a lot of the selection issues (Even worse in EoW) even if you can sort them by usage now, he added even more Koroks instead of just wiping the map of them once you got your final upgrade just as a middle finger, while they did add more of a reason to fight camps for their drops it's still not exactly worth it just like BotW, there's still no way to repair weapons instead you just elongate their use period, there's still an armor limit despite having even more Amiibos, puzzles are still open-ended, and on and on.

EoW was heavily affected by his dumbass mindset of needing everything to be free because all puzzles feel half-baked and unfinished due to how freeform they are. Giving the player a bed immediately was also possibly the stupidest thing I've ever seen since it invalidates 95% of the entire Echo list.

>>740294026
It's got potential but the criticisms need to be listened to. It needs to be more restrictive (I.e. do not give the player everything to explore the map ASAP), there need to be brand new maps and races each time, Koroks as a concept need to go or at the very least get addressed, and they should only do one like every three to four traditional Zelda releases. I don't see the formula being sustainable if it's not on 5+ year intervals, people will get burnt out so badly and this formula is way easier to deja vu on because of its length and structure, not to mention many more devs are doing it now so it's not as novel.
>>

It’s basically a fan mod of botw but worse
You can tell it was made for the purpose of marketing
>what if we made botw but made it suitable for short form video content
It was made for TikTok’s of le wacky inventions
>>
>>740294994
It only stagnated because Aonuma got so handholdy with TP and SS that everyone revolted. You couldn't even die in TP, it was basically impossible, and SS had Fi. Even ALBW wasn't that difficult and despite being open you could rent everything and immediately go and grab multiple Heart Pieces to trivialize the game.

What makes you think the BotW formula won't cause stagnation when open world formulas are far more prone to it? It's much harder to iterate on it or think up new gimmicks, especially if newer games won't be able to reuse older content like TotK did. As it is people were complaining about the map reuse in TotK.
>>
>>740295225
It stagnated because it became formulaic and every game was the same with a different aesthetic and a new gimmick attached. I'm glad Aonuma isn't going back to linear slop.
>>
>>740290518
now I see why so many retards hated it, filtered by the simplest of puzzles
>>
>>740295548
>It stagnated because it became formulaic
and why did it become formulaic? Because it got extremely handholdy due to them not trusting the player. SS was the straw that broke the camel's back because of Fi and her constant interruptions. People clearly still want the traditional formula, just look at how popular Dusk is right now.

because they kept trying to recreate Ocarina of Time over and over and over and over. Only by breaking away from those conventions did they achieve overwhelming success.

The official Nintendo walkthrough doesn't even tell you to bother with hudson signs, tard. The people who made the game's stance is that you're not supposed to do them "80 times" so if you're doing them it's on you.

>>740295032
>games finishing ahead of schedule when produced by delaybayashi or delayonuma
>>740294994
The series stagnated because they became too incompetent to develop it, because for some reason office politics wanted Aonuma at the helm even when he openly hated the series and wanted to do literally anything else.
They switched the formula after Twilight Princess and have been making the same game with minor content additions ever since.
>>
>>740296703
You are unironically playing the game wrong, which is impressively retarded.
Only 1 of these complaints has any validity.

Lmao, so you're telling me i'm supposed to know to ignore game content instead of the devs actually gradually rewarding the player for doing more of it? What kind of cope is this?
Also nice of you to pick only one point and ignore the other ones, you're still wrong btw, like you wer with Korok rewards

this, plus they made dungeons even worse somehow

>>740296938
Playing it like you need to do every tiny chore the game offers you. You are supposed to do what you want to do
>>
>>740296772
So you should buy the guide book to tell you not to do boring shit because it never offers anything of value?
>>
>>740297048

They should have made it multi-player and live service. Kids would play it together forever.
>>
>>740290518
How did retard manage puzzles in the older games? Has he even played any older games?
>>
>>740297090
Anything you do outside of the main quest is optional. If you find it boring to build 80 hudson signs then guess what? You don't have to!
>>
>>740297048
why are you hand waving away bad side content? the side quests are also mmo tier shit and there's barely any story, the game is sitting at a 97 on metacritic and it's not even close to that
The combat is still braindead easy and the weapons still have the same animations
>big rock clubs swing the same as a sword and a spear

Upgrades and progression is non existent because you earn them all in the tutorial area, the enemy variety is still piss poor, the UI still looks like soulless shit, the music is background garbage atmospheric garbage, menus are still a pain in the ass to scroll through, shrines are still a lazy way to integrate unique puzzles into the world and gameplay
>dood just make a separate dimension with level editor tier puzzles

The game is weak sauce, face it
>>
>>740297048
Why is it even in the game if you're not meant to interact with it?
>>
>>740297257
hey retard, the game should reward you for doing side content when it's presented to you, if it doesn't and it's useless filler, then it's useless filler and the game should be docked points for it, kys already nintendo drone
>>
>>740297302
Some people do want to interact with it, and they aren't complaining. Just the guys who don't want to do it but force themselves too anyway.

>>740297310
It does. It gives you money (there is plenty of things to use rupees on) and food, which saves you some time cooking anyway. But if you just want to grind money selling gems or whatever you can do that instead.
>>
>>740297442
>Some people do want to interact with it, and they aren't complaining.

I play botw and it's true for the most part, great into without fat
then I play totk and they just fall back into all their worst impulses
I point it out here and I get tendies insulting me defending this crap

It makes plenty of sense when you think about it.
TOTK is the same game as BOTW, but with more. They couldn't sell it at the same price as BOTW, and refuse to lower the prices of their games, so they made it $70.
>>
>>740298571
Getting a horse has nothing to do with whether the game is keeping you in the tutorial section.

Less than an hour probably, but I'd argue the tutorial ends with the deku tree anyway. You are allowed to start doing side stuff before talking to Zelda in the castle pre dodongos.

I don't think you understand how absolutely fucking braindead the puzzles in earlier 3D Zelda games are. 2D Zelda games have soul, BotW and TotK aren't as good as 2D but they're at least trying something, other 3D Zelda games are fucking braindead.

A reminder that Miyamoto once said the bosses in Ocarina of Time were too difficult for some people.

>For example, in your standard turn-based RPG, on beating the game one is left with a satisfying feeling of all your hard work and labor paying off, in terms of leveling up your characters and so forth. But in Zelda, you're confronted with puzzles and mysteries to unravel, and powerful enemies to face, and it's the immediacy of the experience that is more engaging, and that's what I want players to come away with.

>—What you've just described sounds closely related to the question of game difficulty. In your opinion, is Ocarina of Time a difficult game?

>Miyamoto: The action difficulty and the puzzle difficulty are two separate things, and on release, I was worried that we might have made the action a little too difficult. When I saw player's feedback postcards, however, many people said "the difficulty level was tough, but really satisfying." Actually, even my daughter, who's in 5th grade, was able to reach each dungeon boss with only 1 continue.
