i never called the game boring or uninteresting

it's pretty much just running: the game.
you can ride a horse robot but that's only marginally faster, it's seriously like 15 minutes of real life running to get to these objectives, what the fuck
Yeah, the way you describe the game sounds really fun and totally not boring.

Well, then lots of games must be boring. I cant even count the large amount of open world games where I had to walk places for a long time... Probably most of them...

In the end, all it means is the game wasnt for you. Im guessing youre not a fan of open world games or something. Many other people played it and had fun, so...

I have like 70 hours in the game and I've barely scratched the surface of the big Western part of the continent. The game is huge and there is a lot to do and see.

But those 70 hours, I got over the course of several months. Because I would stop playing for a while at a time, because the size of the world is intimidating.

Generally a game being open world is a negative for me, yeah.

But some games have done it so well that I ended up enjoying that they were open world. Xenoblade Chronicles X and Breath of the Wild being two major examples.

I think this one was done well, as well. Just different. BotW had a lot of places with no story where you had to make your own, or know certain things from other games. I really loved all the little places. Especially the ones with nothing of value there except for the place.

And I love XCX for many reasons. The world felt alive, and there were monsters everywhere. And stuff to do in many places. And just a fun game in general.

But HZD does it well, as well... There's stuff everywhere if you just look. And it looks amazing. You have a ton of collectibles. There are even maps to help you find them. And knowing where they are doesn't even matter as you still have to find a way to them. And when you have multiple maps, you can see they are just everywhere. Not to mention all the logs which can be everywhere as well, and don't have a map. And enemies all over the place. It's not that it wasn't done well. It's just not done to your taste. Which is fine since everyone has different taste...

Im guessing its about the reason Shelly stopped playing HZD, before being told of something he didnt know, which changes everything...

As someone who has platinumed this game I cant think of a single instance where you are running for 20 minutes. That game has so many campfires and fast travel areas its rediculous.

Not fast enough or enjoyable enough for heliy. He's needs every mission/objective to come to him.

to unlock the campfires, you have to get to the campfires, which involves running to the campfires

True. But I dont think theres normally 20 minutes between most campfires if you just run from one to the closest one...

okay.

so it takes one minute to run from campfire to campfire, and the campfire i need is 20 campfires away.

Sure. But at that point, youd be running past everything the game has to offer. Like hunting grounds challenges, new enemies, side quest, main quest, and basically everything that makes the game the game. I could also run past everything in Fallout, Far Cry, and BotW and say the same thing and call it a walking simulator, as well...

no, because the thing i'm going to is something the game has to offer.

i'm not going somewhere just for the hell of it, i'm going somewhere to do something.

The why cant you do that in this game? There stuff everywhere to do. So, whole running to the next campfire, you can do stuff. And that would justify spending 20 minutes to get to another campfire, as you were doing stuff on the way there...

yeah.

i can get to the destination i want to go to. i don't want to dick around and do 5 other things before getting to the thing i originally wanted to do, i can do those later. i want to do the thing i wanted to do now.

that's the whole point of going there in the first place.

and spending 3 hours doing something else absolutely does not justify spending however long it takes to get there.
