Bethesda and other game companies could take a lesson

[Tidus44]

A few points:

 

1) Most of the things you mention are either subjective biased opinions or wrong sbsolute statements founded on the generalization of a limited personal experience. As an example, the game does have bugs, as every game ever developed, it surely has less bugs than the average Bethesda game.

 

2) Bethesda and Nintendo are NOT comparable companies.

 

3) I do agree on some of your points, like quest markers or hand-holding quests.

 

4) Regarding point nº15, the arrow to the knee is epic. Does Nintendo have such a meme?

 

5) Point 18... What year was Skyrim released again? How much people still actively play Skyrim?... Odd point to make.

 

 

 

Speaking of subjective biased opinions or wrong absolute statements....

That makes zero sense.

That makes zero sense.

I agree

Been playing Breath of the Wild for lots of hours and there is still lots to do in the game. A few more observations that makes this game surpass by a huge amount any game I have purchased since 2011 (as a start point) for any system including PC.

 

Wearing armor and carrying weapons - Link clinks and clanks like someone who is wearing armor and carrying weapons.

 

Foot prints in the snow, in the sand, in the dirt, with different sounds (in really cold areas the snow "squeeks' just like in real life) and puffs of dust in dusty areas and puffs of snow when walking and running. Wet foot prints on the ground after being in the water.

 

Snow, rain, fog, wind that is realistic including Link gets wet when it rains but when he is under shelter, the rain doesn't come through.

 

Trees, grass, bushes react to the wind, and how fast/slow or gusty the wind is.

 

Ground cover is diverse, not the same tiles over and over and over. Even the sand in the desert is different in areas with wind ridges and dunes and smooth sand and items in the desert have sand drifts that change with the wind.

 

And about another 100 or so things that just make the game a pure pleasure to play and enjoy.

 

It has proven to me that game makers for the most part could care less about quality or the gamers who buy their games. They are willing to put out any piece of crap and hype it to the extreme simply to make money.

You probably don't play many games if you think any of those things are new or unique to Breath of the Wild.

Didn't say that they were unique or new. Sad to see another "didn't read, didn't understand, but just has to say something" response lacking any purpose other than to be rude and obtuse.

 

And one wonders why almost every other forum I go to says the Nexus community has become a place to avoid.

So basically you're 100% correct, and everyone else is a big meany because they don't agree with you? Okay - I guess that's how the world works. I have read every post in this thread in its entirety, and you've consistently been off base and generally rude. You came here and posted a statement, and have done nothing but acted offended that people didn't just come ushering to praise your words. The icing on the cake is that you're now trying to blame the Nexus community for being the problem. Typical.

To be fair, you made it sound like all those qualities you listed were unique to Breath of the Wild, because apparently none of the games you've played since 2011 has had them. At least that's what you implied. Now, I'm not sure how many games you've actually played but I've found that many games since 2011 have many, if not all of those qualities.

 

It gladdens me that you're enjoying the hell out of the game, but Breath of the Wild isn't automatically superior because you find it enjoyable.
