That reminds me the new dlc is out, need to get my hands on that shit

You sound angry.

Hey, BOTW is a prettu good game.

1. There are not many creatures to fight
2. The "dungeons" are stupid
3. The Shrines are boring and the ones on the Wii U are fucked.
4. The last dungeon was sooo rushed... the last boss didn't move.

Seriously... it was fun until everything started sinking in.

Well it did get "Game of the Year".

Still trying to figure out how...

But it can't be bad if it has "Zelda" or "Mario" in the title.

Subjective, I guess. I disagree with pretty much your entire analysis. Most open world games are collect-a-thon copy and paste crap everywhere you go on the map. The fact that each of the shrines have unique puzzles alone gives it more unique content than anything else in the genre recently.

I also try not to place an entire games value on a couple minor aspects of the game, such as an end boss fight. The game was built to be cheesed by speed runners right out of the gate anyway. It's hardly a detractor from everything else it offers.

my gripes with the game start and end with the combat, so token and uninspired, but i love everything else. botw actually reminds me of horizon zero dawn in that aspect. i love the world, i love exploring the world , i love uncovering the mystery behind the world, but the second i have to engage in some combat, i roll my eyes, sigh, and im like, "here we go again :/"

and the worst part of botw's combat is that it's actually pointless. in horizon zero dawn when you fight enemies there's at least a point, you gain resources and experience to make combat easier. in btow all you get are resources, and you're already spending resources just to fight enemies, so why would you ever engage if engaging brings you nothing?

on top of all that there is some really weird health/dmg scaling with later enemies in the game. i guess it's in place to prevent the game from being to easy but when all your dmg, health, and defense upgrades mean jack shit vs stronger enemies, it kills any desire to get stronger

I'm sorry, but the last boss fight is a huge part of Zelda for most people... Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were better games. The shrines were repetitive to me... the dungeons were so pathetic. BotW is a collect-othon -- but almost everything you get sucks and has no point like the seeds.
