Board 8 > Is Breath of the Wild really that good?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I didn't finish Skyward Sword because I found it to be so boring. I don't normally like open world games, but people seem to have nothing but praise for it.
---

It's making me want a Switch badly
---

It's a really good game. But now that I have played it a ton I'm leaning towards it's not quite good enough to warrant an entire system purchase.
---

Yes

Can this be the new OT now that the other one locked?
---

Yes, it's really that good
---

100000000x better than OoT
---

It's So Good I Haven't Played It Yet
---

Yes

I'm getting pretty obsessed with it.

If you don't like open-world games, it's not likely to change your mind, although it's pretty streamlined, which makes it really easy to get into. People who were really attached to previous Zelda games seem to criticize it the most, since it does away with a lot of the "formulas" the series had. I definitely wouldn't call it boring, it doesn't hold back with the difficultly, especially early on, and contrary to nearly every modern Nintendo title it doesn't do a whole bunch of handholding; you're basically left on your own and decide how you want to progress.

If you want to find flaws with it through you'll have an easy time. But personally I find the game too enjoyable to worry about quibbles like the graphics, some gameplay elements or short dungeons. It'll really be up to you how you react to it, but it's easily becoming one of my favorite Zeldas ever.

I haven't been sleeping enough the past few days because I'm staying up playing this game.

it is that good
---

I would get it on the Wii U and not the Switch, if that matters.
---

The digital Wii U version actually has faster load times than the Switch version.

It's a great game, but you have terrible taste and are incredibly contrary so who knows if you'll like it.

Definitely do it, then. 100% worth it.
---

Yes, it is.

And if you already have a Wii U, your cost is minimal.
---

It's my favorite 3D Zelda but I hate all other 3D Zeldas that aren't Hyrule Warriors so take that for what it's worth.

I looked at a nearby mountain in real life today and was like, "I bet there's a Korok on top of that."

Breath of the Wild has things that it could do better.

But just because it can do better doesn't mean it isn't really good.

I heard this weird metallic sound in Wal-Mart the other day and swear to god my mind turned it into the sound those ground-laser Guardians make.

Anyway, it's one of the best games I've ever played. I have about 35 hours into it and I feel like I'm not even half-way.
---

yes
---

In a word, yes.
---

I'm up to like 175 hours... almost done though! Just like 15 Koroks and some armor upgrades to go.
---

It's probably good, but if you have to ask "that good" the answer is almost always no.
---

I don't think there's any one game worth buying a system for, I should say. Hence why I'm on the Wii U.
