I wouldn't fault anyone for calling BotW the GOAT, but I preferred Horizon because they found a way to squeeze actual narrative pressure into an open-world game. Granted they did so at the expense of open-worldness, but at some point after abandoning a dozen versions of Far Cry/GTA I realized I am never going to see a game through just 'cuz. I put the same amount of time into both this year (around 60 hours), but I felt comfortable enough with my doneness in BotW that I walked away literally in the middle of a puzzle in the Goron Divine Beast. But I'm also the weirdo who thought exploring took too long and was a little dull. I adored the shrines but hated having to actually get to them.

except for Mario Galaxy Nintendo's always followed their major successes with a curveball rather than a retread, I'd expect the same with Zelda.

Bleck posted:Yeah, hopefully everyone agrees that "you got a magical superweapon that's gonna break in six hits on some bullshit bokoblin" was the worst part of BotW and it's better in subsequent Cool Open World Zeldas. I never had much trouble with weapon durability, but that's mainly because my preferred method of killing enemies was kiting them in circles while dropping bombs. It's oddly satisfying. As for the lack of enemy variety/dungeons/whatever other complaint, learning how to make a game like botw was a huge learning curve, and I think Nintendo correctly chose to focus on the environment and make sure that was done right. Subsequent games using the same engine and dev team will almost certainly contain more variety. It's still a 10/10 game.

One thing that really impressed me about BotW is how visually stunning it is, despite having to compete with games on much stronger hardware. When you're walking up a hill and the sun starts to rise over the horizon, the whole world comes alive. Bugs flitter around, mist blows lazily, morning dew shines on the grass. It's awesome. Horizon looks really good, Uncharted 4 looks really good, but when I'm looking at them I'm just thinking "these are good graphics" and not "this is a living world".

PantsBandit posted:The best change they could've made to the horses would be to let you call your last registered horse from anywhere, a la Witcher 3. It was really strange that they decided to pull the REALISM card there, and as a result I think I used a horse maybe 2-3 times the entire game. This 100%. Also, maybe if there was more you could do with the horses at the stables. Upgrade them more some how. Rent them out to make money or something. Make movies staring Daniel Radcliffe.

Horizon looks like one of those old HDR wallpapers that used to flood the internet. It’s impressive technically but personally doesn’t look that good artistically to me.

Ok no that's worse. Good god his whole schtick of "company didn't let me use their footage for free! Boycott!" Is so loving childish. They own the footage you idiot. They own the game music and scenario. You can shout fair use till you're red in the face, it doesn't loving matter, get over it and stop using footage the owners don't want you to.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Ok no that's worse. Yeah there's been a lot of talk around that recently and the prevailing sentiment I've heard is "nobody really wants to talk about this too much because the current structure mostly works out for everyone. If a legal precedent is set it will probably make everyone unhappy, but mostly youtubers and streamers, so just shut the gently caress up and maintain the status quo."

Sterling is daring WWE to sue him by ripping of Stardust by being Sterdust after they hosed with his youtubes so he's a good boy. In other news Rogue Trooper is still awesome. If you want a good third person shooter that does nothing original but lets you shoot post apocalyptic Nazis it's still a perfect 7/10. It's from 2006, but looks much better and the gameplay holds up.
