the hooks were a lot of fun, but can you really say that its a better open world than botw? I found it to be drab, even at its best. There was something always grabbing my interest in zelda. In jc i always felt like I was just looking for a new, bigger thing to blow up. I guess thats not inherently bad, but personally, its not what Im looking for.
Those two are literally the same motivation.
Looking for bigger things to blow up is another way of saying of looking for something new to find.
I got the exact same vibe I get from Skyrim when I played BotW - the luster and sheen is there but when you realize the only thing youre finding are boring shrines and maybe a stable or two then its just filler and I realize Skyrim is a better open world game than botw
Skyrim had factions and other stuff to pull you apart. I would have loved shrines if it was a mini dungeon instead of a puzzle
yeah, if you reduce them down to nothing, theyre the same thing. the payoff is so different, though. botw was such a cool celebration of nature. jc was boom. Hyrule was inhabited with tons of unique, interesting, and extremely cute characters. I cant name a single character from my time with just cause.
Skyrim is good, but its kind of an ugly mess. I havent played the newer versions that play up the colors, but as it was originally presented, there were like, eight colors in the game, and they were all gray as hell.
I think we just value different things in our games idk
I got the updated version for free from steam cuz I owned Skyrim - maybe you have it there?
Zelda is Zelda, I forced myself to play TP and dont want to play skyward sword - I loved Link between worlds and I liked BotW - Zelda will always be praised because its zelda and I think thats pretty much it
