Zelda is the most beautiful open world game there is

...

this doesn't look any better than fucking far cry or tomb raider or hell even dragon age inquisition, all triple A shit, it's just more cartoonish looking. Please, contain your shilling, the environments really don't look that special

Can we just start dubs bombing in threads that have these? I don't see any reason why we shouldn't. It's not like the OP even said anything worth discussion.

If you like simple graphics and over-saturated colors, there are better options. It doesn't help that whatever filter they applied looks especially bad - look closely at the ram near the bottom left.

Nice (1) and Done, OP!
This truly is a valuable thread.

Thank you for your shit opinion cuckchan, now go >>>/back/

Have you ever played Deadly Premonitions, Nintendrone

These graphics suck, the draw distance sucks, shit blurs 1 meter away from you, the models are too simple and they use that retarded colorization to hide it.

Absolutely disgusting. I'm completely baffled Nintendo still has fans left after this horrible low-res sub-cell-shaded nightmare

Op is being a faggot but I actually like how the game looks

The aesthetics of decay give me a boner as a kaczynskite-Evolian (aka asberger) tho.

Looks like dogshit.

It looks nice, but I wish Cemu would run it better.

Cemu performance is too inconsistent thus fucks up timing in battles whereas when playing it on my softmodded Wii U there are far less sharp slow-downs & speed-ups making it actually playable.

Automata is a good game, but the world has only two colors: grey and brown

Holla Forums only hates BotW because its new, lack of big dungeons and low framerate are the only legitimate complaints, still not enough to shit on the whole game.

...

...

...

The game has some legitimate issues, but it's pretty damned good, and certainly better than the average open world game. The hate for it is largely exaggerated, because Holla Forums doesn't do anything half-assed.

Fuck open source.
At this point i don't care if it's open source or not, just as long as i can piss on nintendrones it's alright.

But whoever would of bought the game already did. The game is also a huge success too, user

>>>/reddit/

Finally, you guys are bashing it. Took you long enough. Sheesh.

The last thread with a similar OP was an Autist Supreme™ going non-stop about fucking Zelda BOTW and how nothing could compared it's "lush beauty" and "revolutionary gameplay", and barely ANYBODY said a fucking thing. He was so annoying I just wanted to tell him off, I knew he wasn't baiting either. I resisted, since once you start. They can't stop.
Nintendrones truly are a disease upon this mortal realm.

I think they are the same but in their world the triforce is broken so they are reversed

Yuga has no innate power and draws power from their artifact
Hilda is naive and accepts help from Yuga as well as granting Yuga power over her own kingdom
Ravio is cowardly and doesn't show his face.

Also

The lead artists designs look good in 2d but holy fuck do they translate poorly into 3d

The game fails to deliver in the areas that zelda games are supposed to be about. if I wanted a walking simulator with puzzles for 5y olds and shit tier combat I would play skyrim. Yes BOTW is the new skyrim and worse its free for niggers to emulate and is the reason you get these shills everywhere.

Despite its flaws, BotW is decent even good but for some reason people can't have a measured response when it comes to Nintendo games. OP is a faggot for his stupid bait though.

They have though, where have you been Buddy?

You fucking idiot,people have had mixed opinions on it since release.Return to whatever retard-dimension you originated from.

I still think it would have been better if it wasn't a mainline Zelda game.

Maybe some spinoff where you play in the Zelda universe, but don't actually see Link or Zelda or Ganon.

I'll excuse your poor comprehension of general statements because of those slick trips.

Nintendo deserves some scrutiny. They've been half-assing things for the past few years. They dropped the ball on the Wii U and then resorted to DLC and gimmicks to prop up games that just weren't very good. They announced a ton of games a few years back and then canceled and vanished more than they released in the years following.

I think BotW might have benefitted from being single-console release: Only Wii U, with a Switch Exclusive "Master Edition" or some shit, released some time after.

But user. I'm already here!~

fuck off

What's that? Can't stand people bashing your precious Zelda, you fucking toddler.

Bring the arguments then you little shit

Zelda has the most beautiful open relationship there is.

All companies deserve scrutiny, we've all seen once-great studios lose their edge. Nintendo is no exception, but people either suck their dick or burn them in effigy. It's probably because they're the last console-only developer (barring Mario Run and so on) around, they're always front-and-center in console/PC shitpost threads. Inevitably we get and and it goes downhill from there.

it looks shitty and plays like a single-player mmo ubisoft-tier open world grinder

-Barebones Plot
-Shit Soundtrack
-Empty Worlds & Motives to Explore Further
-Minimalistic Dungeons
-Weapon Breakability
-No Tingle
-Framerate Issues
-God awful voice acting
-High Risk, Low Reward (Memories, anyone?)
+Customizability
+Sexy Link
-But he is not a stronk masculine link, but I'd still fuck him

Those are basically the basics.
Anyways, would you?

This is how I know you haven't played the game.

Eliminate all gays

No, gays are precious cinnamon buns that must be protected 💖😊

You forgot
-treehouse localization.

we are now 50 replies in with no porn dumps
no idea how that happened

That's a non-issue
Just kidding. That one goes too

porn dump anons aren't awake yet.

And if he posted more than once, you'd be calling him a shill. okay.

Fiiiiine. Posting what I got.

Can I hate newspapers in this game?

Same as every zelda other than maybe majora's mask
can't remember a single memorable track from other zelda games
you obviously didn't play, there is stuff to find EVERYWHERE you go
Valid complaint
This is a good thing you doofus, not only it solves the problem of having piles of weapons you never end up using, but gives use to less-than-optimal weapons, also its VERY satisfying to throw a weapon and watch it shatter at the enemy face
GOOD
Valid Complaint
Valid Complaint
Wait, what? please explain
With the gerudo outfit only

...

It feels like a drag finding shit that you ultimately don't need, I know it's for optional customizability or whatever, but it's ultimately useless. I can't force myself to find stuff I don't need, or that won't affect the game in a significant way.
I'm just not a fan of open world games it seems, I'm usually crazy for zelda.

Please Understand

I want to kill the (((person))) who thought the gerudo outfit was a good idea.

it's about what it does with its style, and it does a lot more than everything in zoldo does.

You faggots are worse than op.

Kurok seeds are always needed, those inventory slots are tasty

Also you can end the game in the first hour, so you can argue that you "ultimately don't need" anything

It does, the atmosphere is great, but BotW is still prettier

YOU CANNOT DISCUSS THINGS I DON'T LIKE

If it bothers you, you are not this games target audience, and neither am I.

Can Nintendo cater to me again? I wanted another SNES/GameCube era. Please.

I fucking LOVE koroks, but yes. Ultimately the game is about the Journey, that I personally did not enjoy. :(

the entire game looks like a dated tech demo. i feel like the only people impressed by this game's visuals are casuals that havnt played a decent game in a long time so they forgot games have more colors than browns/greys.

...

There are times when BotW feels like its greater than the sum of its parts. There are areas in the game that are truly fun to explore, and there's so many different things to discover that there's a sort of meta experience of talking with other people (preferably not completionist spergs who just looked up everything online) and talking about the different things you've found, or the different shrines you really liked.

I just wish more of the game was like that. More stuff like Eventide Island. More shrines that are on par with the Divine Beasts. More unique weapons and gear. More quests where you feel like you are part of the world, instead of being an omniscient teleporting adventure God while everyone else just stands around waiting for you to solve their problems. More tools and runes to solve puzzles in all kinds of unique and unexpected ways. Far few combat trials for shrines, for fuck's sake (Put more ancient tech enemies in the world, for fuck's sake!)

And the weapon breaking thing.. We've got crafting for potions and food. We've got an upgrade system for armor and clothes.. Why the fuck can't I break down the dozen Fiery Greatswords I've got into new gear? Why can't I take the broken pieces of ancient guardian weapons and have Robbie rebuild them into something? Why can't I temper my sword over the ancient Blue flames? Why can't I take a whetstone to my damaged sword? Sure, let shit break, but if I can control every other aspect of Link's equipment, WHY NOT WEAPONS!?

If they do another Zelda like this, or God forbid a sequel, these are all things I'd want them to address.

Don't fucking give him a (You)

Honestly the most beautiful open world I've ever seen was Witcher 3. Some people say it's too empty and too far between locations, some folks say it's too crowded with mini-locations everywhere. But either way, it looks damn good. Some of the best terrain and forests I've ever seen in a video game.

Thanks user.
I almost fell for it.

nobody can be this stupid.

Honestly the most beautififul open world I've ever seen was Dragons age inquisition. Soome people say it's too empty and too far between locations, som folks say it's too crowded with mini-locations everywhere. But either way, it looks damn good. Some of the best terrarin and forests I've ever seen in a video game

Nice digits, faggot.

Honestly the most beautififufiful open world I've ever seen was Mincraft. Soome people say it's too empttty and too far betwewen locations, som foks say it's too crowded with mini-locations everywhere. But either way, it looks damn good. Some of the best terrarin and forestttts I've ever seen in a pxiel video game

Honestly the most beautififul open world I've ever seen was rust. Soome people say it's too empty and too far between locations, som folks say it's too crowded with mini-locations everywhere. But either way, it looks damn good. Some of the best terrarin and forests I've ever seen in a video game

Pretty much agree with everything here

Thats a great question, i wish i could at least convert all those flame greatswords into more flame arrows, elemental arrows are always more useful
I also would love to break those guardian spears into parts, since axes and swords are way better

Post discarded, get the fuck out, you didn't play them or you are full of shit.

Honestly the most beautififul open world I've ever seen was Skyrim. Soome poople say it's too empty and too far beetwen lucations, som folks say it's too crowded with mini-locatons everywhere. But ever way, it is looks damn good. Some of the best terrarin and forests I've ever seen in a video game

muh dick

THANK YOU
And that probably was the original idea but they realized without dungeons altogether, even halfassed dungeons it would not be a zelda game and they would not be able to cash in on the zelda name.

Honestly the most beautififul open world I've ever seen was botw. Soome people say it's too empty and too far between locations, som folks say it's too crowded with mini-locations everywhere. But either way, it looks damn good. Some of the best terrarin and forests I've ever seen in a video game

nigger thats flower

no its botw

Are you sure you're not mistake? Because that is definitly from botw

mistaken*

no
*mistake

its not, its from the ps3 game flower.

you liar

...

...

botw or flower?

nice cherry picking. thats botw.

Zelda is the most beautiful switch game there is, because it's the only one

I bet you faggots have a Discord too.

...

botw looks great.

you've gone too far

Gee Them console launches aye.

is this going too far?

This game really shows the difference in how people define "Good looking" in video games. The style, aesthetic, atmosphere, and all that looks great. There's not a spot on the map where you don't get the feeling their going for with the varied aesthetic.

However, on a technical level, there is a lot of blur, leading to just the shapes of far off parts of the map, and the resolution is lower than standard.

Personally, this game reminded me of what I love about video games. I've spent the last few years complaining about framerates and resolution, honestly because I think I had a hard time grasping what "fun" was in the past couple of years of extreme video game drought, and just judged things based on hard and fast numbers. Either way, the game is beautiful and incredibly immersive. I honestly think nintendo created one of the most relaxing, comfy games with this aesthetic that still manages to be tons of fun.

But that's just my rant, feel free to call me a faggot and my opinions reddit tier now.

Open source emulators are the standard and show larger progress than closed source emulators. CEMU is closed source because the devs want to milk retards like you for money.
You are worse than a Nintendrone, you dumb underaged faggot

i dunno user, spending $400 on a colorful skyrim mod is pretty cancerous.

looks empty

You know what would have made the game better? Less shrines, but some of them are longer, like mini dungeons. A couple of those combat challenges could have been end of dungeon bossfights

I'm pretty sure you just don't play games outside of the Nintendo ballpit, my guy.

CAN'T YOU SEE THE MANY HIDDEN TREASURES? OH MY GOD YOU HATE FUN

retard. you have fun with the open world. you explore, you walk around, you travel, you climb, you see things, you take screenshots and share them on the miiverse.
sometimes theres an enemy but thats ok because you can just break a weapon on them to kill them. you can build and craft things. theres mines to explore

they give you all the tools to have fun. if you cant find the fun, thats your problem.

the tools have to be fun as well.

and ya open world was cool like ten years a go now its god dam lets do mindless shit to get shit that may or may not help towards this and that.

also single player open world gets extremely lonely and boring

even though it has been done, its never been done as well.
how many of those games let you fish, craft, upgrade weapons, armor, and use new equipment to access worlds that would otherwise be too difficult? and how many of them are colorful and use nintendo character skins?

cmon user, anyone can see this game's special. you can even get classic link and epona skins if you buy the appropriate amiboo, and unlike the other bullshit companies that sell skin DLC for $2-3. nintendo gives you a really cool statue and only charges $17-18 on top of it.

small price to pay if you ask me.

Lots of games let you do those things. Even past z3lda games. Final fantasy games. Harvest moon. Rune factory. Every mmo and every game that wants to add some grinding activity

???

Jesus fucking Christ user

omg lol

It goes to show aesthetics > photorealism
Its the reason why TF2 and Wind Wakers graphics still hold up today while games from the same era that tried being photorealistic look like ass today

Please, niggers can't afford decent enough specs to emulate it

its almost as if you forgot what it's like to have fun.

Not really. Just played one of the most fun games I've played in years, this past week. I wouldn't consider buying poorly made amiibos to unlock in game content as "fun"

how bitter can you be?

Ocarina is still the best 3D game

MM is good as an expansion to Ocarina but falls flat as a standalone title
WW was rushed and drags its content out
TP tried capitalizing on OoT and ended up just re-treading its ground
Skyward again relied on OoT for its narrative though introduced new concepts that either worked or fell flat
BOTW is too much of a departure from the series while also clinging to as much of the formula as it can, and it doesn't go too much in one direction to capitalize on the best of its parts

...

And so does Xenoblade, your point?

You act like you have to have one thing or the other when you could just not cuck yourself either way.

Open source is a shit forced meme created by kike companies so that they can technically show the source of their programs, have it not compiles, make it illegal to change the code or share the code, and still be able to brand it "open source" at events and such.

Open source doesn't fucking matter, FOSS is what you actually want.

That you're the pot calling the kettle black.

TP is like the RoboCop remake. In a vacuum it's fine, or even good, but the fact that it's trying to remake something that was already near perfect just makes it look like shit in comparison.

...

I think you might be actually retarded considering that free is also implied when I said "open source emulator".

I'm pointing out both have shit graphics, how does that work?

Hyrule Warriors Zelda still the most beautiful.

That's a good analogy for it, and can be applied to other Zeldas. If they weren't so reliant on OoT to tell their stories they could easily stand out and be considered independent stories, instead there's always some sort of callback or relation to Ocarina with the 3D games

not freeware

You're thinking of $0 dollar programs, i'm talking about free-software as in having the 4 essential software freedoms.

You can still sell open source software and free software but opensource software does not neccessarly allow you to share copies with friends, nor does it necessary allow you to compile your own copies even if the code is viewable.

Are you the most retarded person on the face of the Earth or are you just a paid shill for Nintendo?

To varying degrees. That's not necessarily a bad thing. There's no reason a series can't build on past games or throw in fanservice references. TP just took it too far.

>while emulating on closed source jewery a game with slowdowns and fps drops out the ass
You sure showed em user

I would say most of them took it too far, primarily Wind Waker. Somebody who's never played OoT before won't understand the context of the sages, the Kokiri and Zora sages, or the initial flooding that took place prior to the game

cmon user, a closed source emulator isnt as bad as a $400 skyrim mod.
its likely closed source because of copyright issues. some emulators often force you to supply your own bios files to get around this, it seems that this emulator doesnt require it

not that i would ever pay for either. but one is definitely worse than the other.

TELL ME ABOUT LINK
WHY DOES HE WEAR THE HOOD

...

I disagree.

Yes indeed.

Your fault for not knowing what Free Software is.

Anything you need to know is explained. Ganon came into the world 100 years ago, and the gods caused a flood to keep him at bay. You don't need to have played OOT to understand that.

...

Shitty flying meme game that people pretend to like
Le so hard CUHRAZEE LOL
AHHHHH A JUMPSCARE HOLD ME MOMMY
Shitposting aside, what the fuck happened to launch line-ups? All the big switch games we know of to launch this year is Splatoon 2, Zelda, and Mario Odyssey.

your fault for not knowing how language and context works. actually its not your fault, its a symptom of autism
but dont let me stop you. please continue on your tangent arguing semantics that doesnt even apply to this argument so you can feel smart. its kind of entertaining.

Nintendo consoles have never had great launch lineups, to be fair. The SNES was probably the best, and it only had 5 games.

no nigger, the game looks like stylized trash

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: all the games people here remember so fondly as PS2 "launch" titles are all games the PS2 didn't get for years after release. The only reason people think it had titles at launch is because they're too young to remember that they didn't get a PS2 until years after it came out and it had started getting games.

But this is with all game consoles now. Switch, PS4, Xbone, Ouya.

If you take off his hood, would he die?

No.

BOTW would look much better without the "crank the contrast way down" filter in daylight.

No it didn't, it's nothing like OoT. It's a tedious mind numbing world of corridors, mindless busy work, nothing to do, and an awful wolf mechanic slapped on to try and be different. I'm not even a huge OoT fan, but it's not even remotely comparable to OoT, it's a completely different experience and far far worse.

...

And this has stopped open source emulation how?

Have to say I've actually been enjoying this game. Anons said it was shit but that has definitely not been my experience. Do people here hate all Zelda / Nintendo shit just to be vidya hipsters or something?

No, it's a genuinely awful Zelda game and a genuinely awful open world game. It isn't my problem that you haven't developed your tastes into something that doesn't make you say a game where there is nothing to offer you in entertainment is good. It's the same symptoms of people saying they like Skyrim. Just walking around and looking at the extremely poor visuals. Then there are the people who just love everything Nintendo shits out because muh childhood.

Those photos are enhanced, BoTW looks nothing like that.

I thought Fable 2 looked nicer, but I went looking for screenshots to prove you wrong and they all look like shit so I guess I'm a faggot after all.

looks like a rip-off of skyrim with worse graphics tbh

Holla Forums always hates new Zelda games. The real question is whether they'll still hate it in four or five years when the next game comes out.

I just found out that not only is Kass not gay he has 5 kids from multiple women.
Furfags BTFO

what kind of nintendo drone logic is this

...

Asshurt furfag detected.

Know that your faggot art of Kass is 100% opposite of the character & is essentially someone else entirely. When you paint someone as their polar opposite It loses all connection to the source material you've piggy-backed your disgusting fetish on.

get this shit outta here. Zelda has been shit since Windwaker and this is no exception, especially considering it attempts to be a fucking me-too to Skyrimjob by encouraging "weapon scavenging".
Give me one sword, one shield and a classic Zelda style. Why the SHIT did they decide this would be a good idea?
Where did the water temple go? Why can't we have that kind of difficulty for puzzles?

Why is everything in this game so bare-bones that it makes Twilight Princess look faintly interesting?
Hell, Twilight Princess at least had an emo bitch to ride along with, this one is just boring as shit.

...

But why are you targeting furfags instead of gays shittppers?

There's a difference? They're both portraying a straight character with five daughters as a flaming homosexual to appeal to a mental illness.

theres a ram?

super fucking valid. On that topic.

i'm fine with this.

I'm not okay with this

I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS

The master sword does not break inside Hyrule castle, and deals double damage there
Happy now?

the problem is that the sword is useless until then, more useless than the other weapons in your inventory because those, when they break, free up space for you to pick up other weapons.

Why the legendary sword of the hero is suddenly a frail piece of shit in this game, I'll never understand.
THEN WHAT THE FUCK GOOD IS IT OUTSIDE OF A FINAL FUCKING BATTLE THAT IS OVER IN ONE MINUTE?

Seriously, the mideset of going out of your way for the legendary weapon is fr the people who no longer want their weapons to fucking break. it's not like an unbreakable sword would break this game either as hammers, spears, and rods all have perks to them, along with elemental usages outside of battle.

The master sword was only ever good for slapping mooks, cutting grass, and beating Ganon, and everyone knows that, and in this game, you get penalized for doing two of those things.

The Master Sword having durability at all is fucking stupid. It should be the one weapon you can use with reckless abandon. The fact that it only does 30 damage while inactive means that strong weapons like Royal Claymores and Savage Lynel Swords still have a purpose, despite their limited durability.

if me master sword never broke you would have no reason to use other weapons at all

if the*

Read my entire post before responding.

nail on the god damn head. Lets not forget that you can still get struck by lightning while using it, making it a bad idea to use in a storm barring rubber armor set, you can't use it to light fires, change chu jelly, headshot a mook on a tower, instantly kill an ice/fire foe, or ANYTHING that the hammers can do.

well, you're wrong.

you dont need more than 30 damage on anything other than lynels, for everything else you might need it the sword will be on double damage mode

reminder: for every one point of damage you deal quarter heart of damage (so does the enemies, but strong enemies have a flat amount of damage on top) and for every point of armor you reduce the damage by a point (so if they deal 5, you wear 4, you only take quarter heart damage). But minimum damage for the player is quarter of a heart.
what a fucking shit game

White Moblins, Bokoblins, Lizalfos, Hinoxes, and Guardian Scouts all have tons of health and don't activate the Master Sword.

of which no one will be using it against because it's a frail piece of shit and they "might need it later".

You know, like those potions that revive and restore someone to full health with all stats super buffed, but you only get one in the game so you save it until "you really need it", and by the time you do get to the point you might need it, you don't use it because "there might be something else".

The sword is a piece of shit and implemented poorly, stop defending it.

>it breaks but has super mook killing powers except against the mooks who don't give a shit

Explain to me how this fucking thing was implemented well?

Here, a way to fix the damn thing:

Wow you must be a fucking genius

I already know you don't understand anything about game design, so let me explain to you:
An item that is sub-optimal will be ignored by most players, if the players can pick up 40~60 damage guardian swords (that get 80% bonus from guardian armor set bonus) by DOZENS they have no use for a 25 damage sword that doesn't do shit

A game with different mechanics require items with different attributes, i don't care the sword is different from other zeldas, devs have to take into account what is different in this game.

Nintendo fans are easy to troll, so every time a new high-profile Nintendo game is released, dedicated shitposting ircs/discords leap at the opportunity to spout bullshit and attempt to get Nintendo fans as angry as possible. On top of that, Holla Forums is naturally full of 14-year-old boys trying too hard to fit in by shitting on every high profile release and praising obscure, but mediocre alternatives to high heaven.

It makes it almost impossible to have a genuine conversation on the merits and flaws of a recent Nintendo game, because any given thread is 1/3 shitposters pretending to be retarded and another third is autists screeching that someone is mentioning a game not on Holla Forums's approved list of video games. Meanwhile, the remaining population of the thread (people who want to talk about video games) is too busy falling for the shitposters' stale bait and fruitlessly arguing against the aspies.

If you want to actually talk about BotW, I recommend starting a thread during the pre-release period of the next Zelda, maybe even waiting for the Switch to cease production.

Wow you just figured out how players already treat the Master Sword: it's fucking shit, except against Guardians, and that's fucking it. By the way, since the Master Sword breaks, I can go through about 2, maybe 3 Guardians before it explodes and I have to use "regular" weapons to kill more.

Guardians, Corrupted divine beasts AND Hyrule Castle
3 combat uses against your suggestion that would reduce the mastersword to grass cutting, wood chopping and ore mining, so worth having to get 13 hearts for right?

Guardians are better killed with parries and ancient arrows anyway, so even then the Master Sword is shit and outclassed by using ancient weapons with the ancient armour buff.
The only purpose the Master Sword has is for a damage buff in the fight against the final boss and, even then, you probably have a stack of Lynels and Royals that are just as, if not more effective anyway.

It's already worthless and only eats up an inventory slot that could be filled with a weapon that isn't situational. That's why the least it could do is not break in a game where weapons constantly break. It could try to earn that inventory slot and live up to the hype somehow. Learn to look at IDs, I'm not the person you think I am.

sorry i didn't check the ID
you both are still wrong though

open source emulation usually forces people to supply their own files for the emulator to function.
this one doesnt, so theyre likely inside the file, which can be "hidden" if its not open source.

they could be sued for including that, but by keeping it closed, they're protected. remember the psx and ps2 emulation days when getting the bios files was the biggest obstacle? i remember i actually had to do some weird shit to get the bios files off of my physical ps2 because they were not readily available on irc or torrent files.
