Message: [QUOTE="gwardojones, post: 227152, member: 8305"] Nah, you're in good company. I was really underwhelmed by BOTW. Wasn't all that into it from the trailers, but a guy I worked with sold me on buying a copy by telling me how NOT like an Ubisoft open world game it was. After playing it for a bit, I realized exactly how much like an Ubisoft open world game it actually [U]was[/U]. Climb towers to open up more map to climb towers to open up the map. Dungeons were awful. Having all of the game's tools available at the start removed any excitement from visiting new locations. Shrines are really repetitive, gamey, and feel completely separate from the overworld. Weapons breaking made finding new items extremely unexciting, which in turn made exploration of the overworld unexciting. Side quests were... there... kind of... I'm not going to give people crap for loving it. Even if it is basically an Ubisoft open world, it has significantly more art, consideration, and care put into it than anything profit-driven, AAA companies make. But it's supremely overrated and it took the series in a direction I'm not at all interested in. [/QUOTE]
