That's fine, the game was tapped out with shoving a bunch of shit into BOTW's engine to mixed results so best to start fresh. Some of the decisions they made were woof

Darn, I was hoping for some housebuilding improvements, but beyond that I'm overall okay with them deciding to focus on the next Zelda game instead.

While I think it's fine that TOTK is not getting any paid DLC, i will say i am surprised that Master Mode wasn't a thing by default and they seemingly are not adding it this time around

It doesn't really affect me as I didn't touch Master Mode in BOTW but it's still strange that the sequel does not have it.

I feel this way about BOTW and TOTK. I don't think they are bad at all, but definitely think they are overrated. Some people say they are the greatest games ever created which I just do not agree with.

Yeah if there is going to be any "dlc" or update, I wouldn't be surprised if its a Master Mode of sort.

What exactly was Master Mode in BOTW? I beat the game before that update dropped and never bought any of the DLC. I can't remember if I have the game right now or if my friend has it to even check.

Basically monsters do more damage and their health regenerates. There were gold versions of monsters too.

Matter in what way? Like you lose you items or something on death? If you mean anything like that then no. It's literally just a harder difficulty with enemy health regen and some enemy and item alterations in the world but otherwise it's largely the same overall experience from what I've seen.

I might be missing something because, as I said earlier, I never touched Master Mode and have only seen videos of people playing it

By the sounds of it, TotK doesn't really need a master mode then if one of the main things about it is making enemies tankier. Silver enemies are already tanky enough as it is, they don't really need to take even longer to kill than they already do, nor is an even tankier tier of enemy needed.

The first 20-40 hours of both games are BLISS. Pure enjoyment.

It's like spending 40 hours eating a great cake, then spending the next 40 licking the pan. You'll get a nice slurp of icing here and there, but you're doing busy work just to max out everything >_> I have no regrets 100%ing it tho (except korok seeds. Fuck that)

I actually can't believe it. Before release the site even said that they had DLC planned, though they did remove that right around when it released. But they have the Gold tier models right there, all they'd have to do is make new horns for them (just use Silver tier recolors). And no DLC means no way to make the Master Sword not shit (right now it has mediocre base damage, a really conditional power up trigger, and it breaks sooner than most weapons worth using because it doesn't benefit from the extra durability from fusing things to it after the first fusion). Plus trial of the sword was some of the most fun I had in BoTW, and the DLC shrines were easily the best.

I'm genuinely disappointed.

People are free to not like the direction of the series, but calling TotK mere DLC is a laughably moronic take, and the parrotting of it just makes the attempted echo chamber all the more ridiculous. The game has an enormous amount of new content.

They're the two best-selling games in the franchise's history. Zero chance they move away from this formula for 3D games.

Same. I mentioned that on the IGN article on instagram and someone had a meltdown though for "not playing the game as the developers intended". I can't believe people are still flipping out about how complete strangers play a game they paid for that has no impact on how someone else plays the game.

Kind of a bummer. Totk is fun and I loved botw's (second) dlc. It would have been neat to see more. But also if it means we're getting a new game sooner for it, then that's cool too. I would have liked to see an update with the teleporting saddle and improvements to the dream house building thing though.

but its all new content in a previously created world, which is typical of DLC

the underground is fairly lazily designed given its just an inverted map, and there are like 2 quests that take place there

The sky is also pretty underwhelming, especially considering the size of the introductory area

You guys act like the map is 100% the same. There's the underground, the sky, there's tons of caves on the surface. I'd say 40% of the total map you explore is the same

Ah yes, because ToTK's map is largely unchanged.

Just ignore the caves.
The wells.
The minigames changing.
Death Mountain's lava being walkable space.
Gerudo Town basically doubling in size.
The monster camps changing location.
Etc.

Not to mention how moving the enemies around completely changes the actual moment to moment gameplay because places that used to be completely safe now have enemies and vice versa.

The geography didn't go through massive changes so the vast majority of the stuff on it that you actually interact with being changed on it doesn't count.
