The weak dungeons is what really made me not like Botw.

Travel sucked too. It was annoying as hell and never fun.

Stuart_Hayden · 2020-02-03T23:47:24.028Z

W101-R just passed 650k.

Radiantsilvergun3 · 2020-02-03T23:47:54.915Z

I thought it was a blast and really enjoyed it and never thought it was annoying and was always fun.

I like exploring tho “shrug”

Eskills · 2020-02-03T23:55:12.431Z

I like exploring too. But it was attached to running, horse, climbing, rain, gliding and a dumb stamina meter.

I hate horse riding in basically every game and the other systems in place were a chore.

MARTIAN · 2020-02-03T23:56:34.294Z

… Should games that have you explore not involve running, climbing and jumping usually…?

I’m confused at what exact kind of traversal you expected a Zelda game to have. Lmao. You basically just said “I like exploring, just not any of the game mechanics that it typically involves.”

giphy

Radiantsilvergun3 · 2020-02-03T23:56:39.144Z

So it was attached to…moving around…in 3D Space…

Ok…

nickmanx5 · 2020-02-03T23:57:20.392Z

The only thing i didn’t like about botw was the dungeons and the blight bosses were kinda lame but I really like climbing shit in games and this particular game you can climb anything with enough effort so I didn’t mind traveling.

MARTIAN · 2020-02-04T00:00:00.207Z

I think the dungeon complaint has always been fair for the simple reason that BOTW does not have dungeons really, period.

Eskills · 2020-02-04T00:01:05.791Z

It’s more so the jump to an even bigger open world and just generally pretty slow traversal. I don’t mind exploring, but I like getting from point A to B and not feeling bored.

Peeps were talking about spider-man. I can get around damn quick and even fast travel. Something I really hope that gets addressed as the open world games get bigger is to give faster travel options at the bare minimum.

Radiantsilvergun3 · 2020-02-04T00:01:54.896Z

Yea I get the dungeon complaint, I like the shrines but have always said it needed more Hyrule Castle style locations. I would have been happy with 20 or 30 less shrines for 2 or 3 more Hyrule Castles.

Million-X · 2020-02-04T00:03:45.557Z

Weapon breaking <–this seems like the most polarizing issue of Breath of the Wild…and yeah I’m one of those people that hates this 1 detail of the game. I think once you’ve put weapon durability into a game, there should always be some way to repair them. It’s such a downer that you can’t really get “attached” to having anything in that game, because the shit will just break in 2 or 3 combos.

Eskills · 2020-02-04T00:04:29.549Z

It wouldn’t feel like such a chore if you weren’t constantly cockblocked by stamina. Hell all my complaints wouldn’t be if I had an option to turn stamina off or something.

Radiantsilvergun3 · 2020-02-04T00:04:32.525Z

They are all replaceable…no need to repair them when you can get brand new ones for free…

I’m just sayin.
