I love this post.It's curious that when it's a game you like that's being criticized, the consensus opinion is all that matters, and all flaws are dismissed.
Meanwhile, if there's an even more praised game that YOU have issues with, you'll make sure to tell everyone why your problems with it make it a lesser game, while completely ignoring consensus opinion in that case (Including, hilariously enough, in threads on unreleased games from different developers and different publishers on different consoles in different genres focusing on different things).
How curious.
.Oh and I loved the RPG elements. Hopefully they double down on them
Fair, but what I was saying is I wouldn't just outright dismiss a conversation about a game being played on a different difficulty highlighting a flaw. Because that actually can be true. Some cameras are built for basics, but not actually be sufficient for when the player actually wants to stress it. In simplest terms. It is a valid conversation/debate point. Especially around third person action game cameras.I still don't agree that the camera is a flaw on higher difficulties.
I agree with you about difficulty options being a problem in some games. Best example would be COD on the hardest difficulty. The game becomes a mess full of grenade throwing and aim botting AI.Fair, but what I was saying is I wouldn't just outright dismiss a conversation about a game being played on a different difficulty highlighting a flaw.

Fine with the indicators to be honest, the flickers and red has different shades to convey 'attack coming" vs "attack is basically right there", and it creates a reactable thing, without literally having to avoid offscreen attacks entirely and limiting scenarios given the limited roster.
I just find it more suffocating than other cameras of its ilk, as far as action game cameras, its not as lousy at times the way say the Revengeance camera is against mastiffs, but similarly I wouldn't mind a better field of view and it just not trying to basically get it on with Kratos's back.

Your thoughts on the valks OP are completely nonsensical.
"WHY WOULD I GUESS TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE THING BLINDING ME!????"
I'm not even gonna entertain the rest of that rant "I'm bad, but let me to tell you why that is"

See, that's the thing, you assume your opinion is the objective truth. It's not. BotW has incredible gameplay and music, amazing art, and delivers on every front it sets out to achieve. The story is lacking, and the game also keeps it out of the way, so it never intrudes on the experience.The most important parts in a game are story.. gameplay.. design.. music IMO.
GoW did this all of this almost in a perfect way.
BoTW had a almost no existent story.. gameplay was really basic and the music was forgettable.
Can you really say that BOTW is the full package?
The reviews on that game if the game "Zelda" wasn't on the cover would be much lower and that's a fact.
If you want it let's ignore the scores since they can be misleading sometimes ( a good example is BOTW ) and if you compare BOTW to many other GOTY contenders the game really lacks in many aspects except for exploration that was his best part.

"GoW did all this in a perfect way" except I disagree, and so do many others in this thread.
"The reviews on that game if the game "Zelda" wasn't on the cover would be much lower and that's a fact."
lol. What about reviews for GOW, did it get the boost from being a new God of War game?
let me clue you in on something, BotW is at 20 million copies sold, and sells more every year than it did the previous year. This is not because of reviews or brand, if people didn't like the game, the brand or positive reviews wouldn't be able to sustain sales for it (remember Skyward Sword?). It's selling as well for as long as it does because people like it, and word of mouth is positive.
I'm not saying you have to like the game, or anything. You're entitled to your opinion, but just a) have the decency to not project it as a universal standard and b) be open to criticism for your favorite games if you're so quick to criticize others'.
I like Cloud 😢honestly, everytime I see a person with a cloud strife avatar on here I grab the popcorn
100% agreed. That is the only flaw in an otherwise perfect game imo. Easily the best combat this generation and I think increased FOV would have made the combat less visceral feeling.As an open world game hater, the only issue I had with the game was the RPG mechanics. Truly unnecessary and slowed the game to a crawl.
Depends on the game. There's no wholesale rulebook for "most important parts in a game." If it's a story focused game like GoW, story is importat. If it's a gameplay focused game like BotW, story is not important.The most important parts in a game are story.. gameplay.. design.. music IMO.
It literally could not care less about having a story. Not the point.
What
Yes.
Are people still sticking to this foolish, tired old argument?The reviews on that game if the game "Zelda" wasn't on the cover would be much lower and that's a fact.
honestly, everytime I see a person with a cloud strife avatar on here I grab the popcorn
Literally millions of people deny that
That's the weakest reply on this forums and I see it quite often.
BOTW lacks my friend and no one can deny that.
I understand you are a big fan of the game but I'm sorry to say that the combat is really basic and the music was almost not present on my entire run with the game. The story is also a problem because there isn't one.
You already posted a review before and closed your own thread because people started to agree with the 8/10 review. And they only said the truth about the game.
" It's blasphemous to say, but Breath of the Wild is the most overrated game of all-time. While it does so many things wonderfully well, it lacks the cohesion that makes an excellent game. Now, we are not saying that it is not a great game – it is. On our review scale, an 8 is "great", which is where we would score it if we had reviewed it. But it's not a top-five game of all-time, like IGN's latest "top 100 games" list suggests. It's not even a top-five Legend of Zelda game. If Breath of the Wild weren't a Legend of Zelda game, would it have garnered the same amount of critical acclaim? That is the litmus test for any game, and the answer here is simply, no.
Breath of the Wild set the foundation for an excellent game, even a masterpiece, but simply was not able to follow through. From the lack of story, stale dungeons, grinding shrines in order to attain the Master Sword, and item durability, the game falters on many fronts. As we said earlier though, it is a great game; it simply isn't the masterpiece that the mainstream gaming media makes it out to be. If it were anything other than a Zelda game it would be criticized heavily on these fronts. It is enjoyable, but not elite."

This is BOTW.. love it or hate it I really hope they don't take the same route with BOTW 2 but I'm already worried.
The realm travel room is only going to a small number of locations, and the animation is long enough to cover the loading for all of them. The fast travel, realm between realms, goes to many different locations, some in the middle of really large locations (the central lake in Midgard is probably the largest), so it spawns the exit door when loading is complete. You could just stand there and pretend you're watching a loading screen.I dig the loading animations especially the one with the crystals. They integrated in the game very well.
The time travel one was the only frustrating one because the door appears randomly but I like how it connects with the story .
lol, you're still doing this. Yes, they can, and most people do. Much like you were tripping over yourself to remind everyone in this thread they're a vocal minority, so are you.
Ding ding fucking dingCan you really say that BOTW has an amazing story.. combat.. dungeons and music?
I know the game has incredible exploration but imo outside of that the game just lacks everything else.

it's amazing that the only review that says "the truth about this game" is the one you agree with, lmfao
I also see you ignored multiple posts explaining how and why you are wrong and breaking down your arguments thoroughly.
Why? I like the minimalist music, you don't. There's no "enlightening" necessary there, you dislike something I do.Then please enlighten me on how BOTW has an amazing story.. combat.. dungeons and music.
The game has excellent music. Not only does it have excellent music, it also makes use of its music incredibly well. It fits the desolate atmosphere of the world perfectly.Can you really say that BOTW has an amazing story.. combat.. dungeons and music?

FIrst off, let me just say that God of War is a decent game fun.
I also found the axe wasn't very satisfying. Most of my throws felt useless as it just bounced into oblivion doing jack all of help as enemies brushed my throw attack aside or barely flinched(unless it was scripted requirement).
The title doesn't matter I'm sure everybody will read the op....The way the title reads as if the game was universally panned and needs some major changes for the next iteration.
This.Touting aspects that are also loved by players as something that needs to change just comes off as narcissistic, while I don't think anyone is going to be telling Santa Monica that they preferred having a pitiful amount of bosses and few enemy types for example.
My issues with the game:
- Level Design (loading stuff)
- Enemy variety
- Not enough boss battles
- RPG shit. Seriously that did not benefit the game in the slightest. Dump it.
The RPG elements work well because the devs wisely kept leveling a focused affair, with all of the emphasis on armor and abilities.Hope they get rid of all the RPG bullshit next time. What a pointless ass system for a character action game. Also get rid of the one shot bullshit. It hampers story telling.
Needs more enemy types and bosses as well.
Seriously, there's some reality warping going on here. The devs are probably not scrambling to fix the formula for GoW5, because they don't need to.The way the title reads as if the game was universally panned and needs some major changes for the next iteration.
I wish people can criticise a game without using the word overrated.
