Re: Soapbox: Six Months Later, Tears Of The Kingdom's Sense Of Wonder Is Still Unmatched

CupidStunt

I found no sense of wonder in TotK and not one single moment of amazement. BotW was full of those "wonderous" moments of discovery, but because the same map was used, and the Depths and Sky were so bland and repetitive, I never once felt that "wow" feeling. The game was also insultingly easy as the puzzles, if you can call them that, were child's play. Everyone was excited for the return of traditional dungeons; however, they were the easiest in Zelda history with the worst bosses which is a real shame as the Divine Beasts were so imaginative with challenging puzzles, bosses and great music. I appreciate what they were trying to do with TotK, but the execution was not great, and it felt like a backwards step from its predecessor to me. Too much repetitive filler that made it feel more like Assassin's Creed than Zelda. I have no idea what the 6 years went into developing. The worst Zelda game ever in my opinion.

I went a couple of months ago. Travelled from Scotland after being to the one in Japan in November. The one in Hollywood is not great. The staff were rude, whereas in Japan the staff really go out their way to make it a magical experience and make you feel like younare in the Mushroom Kingdom. The merchandise in Japan is also amazing in comparison.

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Should You Play First?

Majora's Mask is the most complex (and one of the best), it is definitely not the one to play first. Start with a Link to the Past and play in order to see the evolution from there. The evolution from 2D to 3D was the best of any game series. I did not think as much of the Gamecube/Wii trio as they were far too easy in comparison.

Nintendo have changed. The customer service 8n Europe is very, very bad. Their customer service number, the staff used to be extremely friendly and helpful, how you would imagine Nintendo. Now they are often rude and extremely unhelpful. From when I worked in a customer service centre prior to going to university, this is a good indication of very bad working conditions. It is such a shame that a company making record profits would treat staff and customers in such a way.

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delayed To Spring 2023

@rjejr Sorry but I can't interact with that level of absurdity anymore. All games have an estimated development window; however, art gets delayed often so the artists vision can be met. It was a tentative release windows given, not a date. There were no lies. Sorry for being so abrupt but really you need to get over it. Art gets delayed often. Very often. No one was lied to. The tentative date changed

@rjejr Of course we knew. We had an extensive selection of excellent gaming magazines reporting the information. We used to know about games years in advance. Nearly every N64 game made by Rare was delayed several times too. They give tentative release windows and often, when a great developer is wanting to make a great game, a game is delayed to make it better/iron out bugs. Elden Ring was delayed too as it was supposed to be a Christmas release, as was Horizon 2. Gran Turismo 7 was delayed by over a year from its initial release window.

It is probably because of people like you complaining, that Nintendo/Sony rarely share information until close to the release date for most of their games now. BotW 2 is going to be a massive game. Massive! It has complex level designs/puzzles/almost bug free. It is far more complex to develop a puzzle and clever level design than a 1st person shooter or Assassin's Creed for example. It not only has the main map, but now goes to the sky, and judging by previous footage, possibly underground too. It is the largest game in scope Nintendo has ever made.

You really know nothing about game design, and it seems gaming in general if you are not aware about changes to release dates and delays of all the biggest games. However, almost all of the best games have been delayed. 1 delay is nothing. Do you want Nintendo to release a broken game like Asassin's Creed Unity was?
