fuck Nintendo and fuck fanboys who defend them at every turn. breath of the wild was a 7/10 game

Botw is easily a 9/10 for me . Totk too. I really like Nintendos take on open world. However, I still appreciate the other Zelda games a lot and I hope they don't completely abandon that linear formula

The world is interactive but bland. Except a few scenic vistas, there's nothing interesting about the botw's open world.

I desperately wanted a switch 2 and been gaming on my mac using emu and a handful of native games until release.

But at this point I'll probably pick up the ps5 or steam deck just to avoid these folks ^

The Steam Deck is a great option, I have a hub to be able to play on my TV, and don't tell Nintendo, but a lot of Switch games run nicely.

I have an SD full of every NES-N64 game with a bunch of GameCube thrown in too, it's a beautiful thing. Plus gyro on old GameCube games is pretty funny

Lol great advice, probably runs them better and SD card sounds like a dream

All the more reason to buy their next system at V1.0 with 0 games.

...keep it in the box for a year and keep an eye on a hack hitting the news.

I say this as a die-hard 3D Zelda fan:

I was soooo boooored in BOTW! There was no current main story. It all happened in the past. You're basically playing through the climax the entire time. And I hated it. I mainly play Zelda for the story, and this was a very poorly told one.

TOTK was somewhat better because it gave us better characters (I will die for Tulin), a bit better characterization (I enjoyed Zelda getting a lot more fleshed out this time), and a somewhat better story... but there were still way too many reused story beats. That is to say, the story was fleshed out much better, but they still reused the overall story structure from BOTW (get the memories fight the four bosses in the four temples, etc.). They did add a fifth temple and a mid-game story thing, but that's mostly it. They also didn't even acknowledge how similar some things were to their counterparts in BOTW (ex. the ~~Malice~~ Gloom), which really bothered me. Also, some stuff just felt... unfinished. Like the reporter bird who, by the end of it all, just ends up pondering and trying to figure himself out... and that's it. It felt like setup for DLC, but there wasn't any.

... That was a very unintentionally long rant.

To summarize: hated BOTW; somewhat enjoyed TOTK, though it could've been much better.
