I must have left my Switch on by mistake for 240 hours with BOTW running in the background.
So, it's a Ubisoft game.
Yeah, that's the only thing that really caught my attention with this. I was like, "oh, that's different."
This game is even more Breath of the Wild than Genshin Impact.
Someone in China is going to smash their console when they see this. I don't know what console it'll be, but hardware is about to get busted up.

I think the dialogue will change from "NO IT'S NOT LIKE BOTW" to "I'm glad they stole BOTW. Now they can do it better. God BOTW was so boring".
I'm here
I'm going to destroy all of my consoles and my computer and phone so i cant play this on google stadia either.
I mean, good for you that you found enjoyment in it but I found it objectively boring and not worth the $60 price tag. I beat it because I felt obligated to but it was not worth the time I put in.
From my preview:
I don't know how the dev insisted it wasn't BOTW and I pressed them on it. That's Magnesis, yo.

I am ready for BotW clones to start coming through tbh - let other teams take a crack at this type of game
I just see a picture of Magneto... /sFrom my preview:

That's good to hear, Odyssey was a snoozer for me after about 10 hours.
When people say that you did the same things over and over again, that's called the gameplay loop and can be simplified down for every single game
AC Odyssey I did the same 6 things over and over again until I got bored and dropped it
BOTW I did the same ? things over and over again but I absolutely loved it
Ghost of Tsushima is pretty much Odyssey but I enjoyed it

i mean, i certainly hope a game that comes out several years later had learned some lessons and improved on an older game
im down to give it a shot based on what I saw so far
It's totally ok for different people to feel differently about the game, I just found the"running quickly out of things to do" funny given the time i spent on it (which is far more than I ever spent on any such game). And I never spend more time on a game than I want (unless I am really, really close to the end anyway)
By the way, there is no way to find a game objectively boring. Any person's experience with any game (or song/painting/movie/book/food etc) is entirely subjective.

I just think it's too similar to the recent AC games. I appreciate the fact that the movement looks more fun and dynamic, but I can't see a reality where I play this and AC: Valhalla in the same 12 month span....let alone a few weeks apart. Maybe I'll skip Valhalla and play this instead, but the last two AC games have really delivered for me in a way that I'm not sure I can skip the next one.
I had the chance to play around two hours of it, had an absolute blast.
it's a Breath of the Wild + AC Odyssey combo that just works so well.

holy shit lmaoFrom my preview:

Haha, amazing.From my preview:

I know devs want to make a game their own, but there's no shame in looking towards BotW for inspiration. No one will think less of the dev in question. If Fenyx even leads to a game that is half as good as BotW that's great.
The reveal certainly was more restrained.
It does look like it could be neat... if I ever get used to the hodgepodge of cartoon video game tropes. Right now it's kinda overwhelming.
Ripping off the best game of all time? I'm in.
Don't need it to be fundamentally original, I just want more of that "go anywhere, explore anything" action. Just PLEASE don't have have way markers and check lists.
EDIT: I'm three minutes into that EZA preview and I couldn't be more disappointed already. The enemy spawn points? The cyclops getting shot in the head and slowly walking towards him? The HUD is just sooooo massive with big numbers everywhere...
Fuck man. Just rip of BOTW unless you've got a better plan. Cyclops in BOTW were huge and complex looking, even if they lost their drama over time. This is just... very ubi so far. Here's hoping it changes my mind over the preview.

Anyone know why they changed the name? Gods and Monsters sounds way better than this IMO.
Otherwise, looks kinda fun. I can see AC DNA in it, but that's not a bad thing.

As long as their no durability shit like in BoTW, I'm in. Combat looks kind of boring, but I may feel different after playing it.
Agreed. That really turned me off to BOTW. I'm definitely picking this up when it comes out then.
The trailer made me pretty excited. It seemed to improve on a couple of things I disliked about BotW (combat, enemy variety) but my god, the whole ui really ls cluttering the screen and it doesn't really look all too good either.
The narration has got to grow on me to but beyond all that, I'm in for this. If anything, it's gonna be good fun for how long it lasts. Especially since you'll probably be able to choose for how long you want to play it a la BotW.

There's no shame in looking to other games for inspiration but this is a straight up clone. I would have appreciated if ONE major aspect of the game were completely different.
The magnesis-style power-ups.
The cooking system.
The trial dungeons.
The stamina system.
The color palette, game aesthetic and world layout.
The character designs.
The climbing and gliding system.
The horse sneaking/taming system.
the Map system.
The enemies and bosses.
Jesus fuck. There is no attempt to even pretend that this is a full-copy. "Inspired by BotW" is aggressively generous. It's one thing when indy studios borrow from other games, but this is Ubisoft.
This is brazen as hell.
