      They revamped all the adventure maps to make it a more balanced experience, not to mention the addition of lvl 4/4+ weapons, fairies (that can nuke keeps), more illustrations to complete, the ability to switch character on the fly, (A feature that was technically added in the 3DS version) and a 2 player split screen that doesn't lag the game to a snail's pace (seriously, after I installed the DLC's on the Wii U version my game got 15-20 frames in 2 player if I was lucky).
      What I'm trying to say is that it's at least worth another play through in my book, although whether you want to complete it or not is entirely up to you (I'm trying but it does indeed take a damn long time, something I don't have lol).

    Not that it really matters though because when Animal Crossing comes out in a month it will literally blow all of those times away.

      Oblivion has a setting too generic(just standard european middle-age fantasy), a lot of copy-pasted houses, some towns even look too similar (the central city is amazing, but regular towns lack from anything distinctive), all the chapels are identical from the inside.
      I see that kind of repeated content as the opposite of _charm_ , for _charm_ I would think in something special that makes it stand out.

    In my entire life of gaming breath of the wild is the only game I actually enjoyed exploring in and going to each corner of the map, I've got to say part of the reason is due to the fact that you get rewarded for doing so, if your gut tells you that there's a collectable or puzzle such as a korok a chest or a secret shrine its because there is and I love that feeling, in other open world games the world is just empty and where you think theres a collectable or some sort of reward there isn't its just emptiness, a simple puzzle that I enjoyed to was the one where you place an apple in each tray and a korok appears, you see one tray with an apple in it and you think to yourself "what if I place an apple in the rest" and surprise you solved the puzzle. In other games the likely outcome would have been nothing. Anytime you spot something out of the ordinary such as a tree on top of a hill or just a random pond you always want to go and explore because you always have that what if feeling

    Great video, holy fudge poppers! Thank you. You know, back when I was young, I would revel in Zelda and long game-play games with my friend where we would stay up all night and get little sleep and wake up early the next morning, before sunrise to play the games again the next day. Those were the good old days. Yes. Yes. I like to look at games in terms of their interesting play and time to completion as a guide and mechanism for quality control when purchasing a game. It always has been a big deal for me for a game to take hundreds of hours to complete, on the whole. Games that take a small amount of hours to complete really piss me off because it's a lack of real work that is put in; It's laziness. Don't get me wrong, some games that are not as long as these gems are really good games. But, the problem lies with there not being enough content to satiate my tastes. Take for example, Rayman: The Great Escape. Yes, it's an old grandpa of a game, but a great and epic one! Except, it is so darn tootin' short that it takes about 2 or 3 hours to beat. I was really disappointed in that game. So, the theme of this video has always rung true in my heart of hearts; I love to spend countless hours, with a friend, on a game, that we can get lost in. It is the quintessential gaming experience and akin to achieving real nirvana. lol. Again, awesome video and I look forward to watching more Nintendo Power video's!!!!!!!!!!
    Can anybody tell me if this channel is the video version of Nintendo Power magazine that was available to read in the 90's? I used to read that magazine when I was a kid and anticipated it so much that I would have inner rainbows shower my insides with glee and delight when I turned the golden pages of Nintendo Power. Have a good day you song birds!:)

      Somehow, I beat XC2 with Golden Torna DLC in 80 hours, but XC3 took me 115 hours (with DLC).
      I think the difference is XC3 side missions unlock classes, so there is a lot of incentive to do them. XC1,2 & X it's not as critical.
      That said, I love XC1, 2 & X (XC3 was my least favourite) and its great that you can finish the main game without dlc in a mere 60 hours or get really into them an put 180 hours into the games.
