I mean, yes I do think less of Ubisoft than Nintendo in this case since I respect + look up to innovation and new experiences. That said, I won't necessarily think less of the game if it's still an enjoyable time... it's just more like a night on with a random show on Netflix vs. a night out (rip movie theaters) to see a blockbuster, different expectations.

I laughed. When someone doesn't know the difference between subjective and objective you kinda just gotta ignore them really.
Who cares lmao. There are countless games out there that are blatant clones of more successful games. It's not the first time it has happened and it won't be the last. Just don't play it if it doesn't interest you.
You were too late. This already happened in the thread's very first post. It's tiresome.
That said, if Ubisoft is going to shamelessly rip off a game, it might as well be one of the greatest games of all time. I might get this, in spite of the terrible name and so-so aesthetic, if the gameplay is fun enough. I do like the idea of doing a more playful, less grimly self-serious take on greek mythology, and the world itself seems pretty cool.
Huh, they've got a lot coming up EDIT: ah haha, I see your edit. Agreed.
Looks like no one in here has actually read the previews eh lol
How dare Ubisoft have the audacity to make a BotW-clone

Not really the Odyssey loop to be honest.
Like, Odyssey is clearly the base and combat is pure Odyssey, but otherwise, it doesn't feel like it. Or Breath of the Wild to be honest. Sort lives in this middle area.
I can't agree with this one, from what Easy Allies said, the combat is more character action esque which is fine by me because the "straight combat" that is the stuff without using the physics wasn't the best in BOTW
As a customer, what is there to draw me in if it's all "been there, done that"?
I don't take issue with their doing this, I just wonder if I could enjoy playing it. Think of it this way, suppose there was this great movie you absolutely loved and saw repeatedly until you knew it by heart. Then another movie comes out, with scene after scene copied (with some changes) from that great movie - won't that hurt your sense of immersion and your ability to enjoy this new movie? I am afraid it will for me.
Nintendo probably own the patent, .…shame!
But seriously it's not even out and people already say it's better than BotW...
Looks very interesting but I expect it to have its issues.
I was so hyped for G&M. Feel deflated right now.
Not a fan of the aesthetic they settled on. Just not pretty to look at.

I meant loot chasing loop. There are more interesting puzzles and abilities for sure but at it's core it is another Loot focused RPG. At least that is what i am getting from previews.
On the easy allies preview there is a part where the character jumps into a rift thing and the loading between sections is like 1-2 seconds. Wonder if this is running on next gen
All previews were running on PC (with beefy SSDs probably yeah).
Immortals hands-on: I guess Ubisoft is copying Breath of the Wild now
Formerly titled Gods & Monsters, it launches Dec. 2. It's pretty, but it's messy.

I don't think it's the same with movies. If a movie does the same thing another movie already did, it won't surprise me again, of course. But if a gameplay loop is satisfying and another game does it again, I'll find it satisfying again.
And it's been three years since BOTW came out and I haven't played anything like it since then, so I welcome this chance to "do it again" but with a new experience.
Honestly, outside the art style and bow, it doesn't even feel that much like BOTW to me. The fact there seems to be a lot of cinematics and voiced scenes also makes me think this won't fell that much like the game as many are assuming either.
I want to like this...but the fact that Gods & Monsters looked way nicer artistically, is really annoying.
They had a great main character and ruined it with a generic redesign (and I can only assume that the person who chose the new name, is the person who put a 'Z' on the end of all their DS/Wii game names back in the day.It takes talent to create a name this bad).

I don't think it looks bad. I actually like the art style. That HUD though....if you can tinker the size of it, that would be great.
Ahhh. Yeah, the loot system is the same, though we only gained new loot at the end of two quests in the demo. If there's a more general "you get loot from every enemy", that wasn't apparent in the demo.
Correct, since weapons don't deteriorate and special attacks are available on a recharging basis, much like AC. Really, the combat feels a lot like AC: Valhalla (which I've also played), and that means targeting foes in a crowd felt like a mess in this two-hour demo (with camera occlusion on nearby geometry coming up more than I cared for).
Well you could be right - or not, time will tell. I'l wait for player impressions, I don't care about the opinion of people who didn't love BOTW since their taste is clearly different than mine, but if people who really loved BOTW will enjoy this, I'll bite.
Oh, that's a shame. It looked almost character action-y during the Easy Allies preview.
This looks so good! Love any Zelda like game like this, and this world seems to he more dense with things to do which was a big issue with BOTW for me, how empty many areas were.
I feel like there's something... off about this. But I can't put my finger on it. Like, despite the fact that it's taken some heavy inspirations from BOTW so it should absolutely be my bread and butter, it looks... Unsatisfying.
The word you're looking for is subjectively.
