    Banger vid man, keep it up! Solid editing and sound, great job. Definitely agree with your point - I think the new towers in this game are cool, but they add to the same issues, where you end up teleporting to a nearby tower and then paragliding out from there instead of wandering to all the nearby locales you wanted to see. Definitely had more fun limiting the amount of time I used them for travel and went on foot instead.

      Yeah, I've gotten a lot fewer Korok Seeds because I never really walk anywhere unless I'm in the Depths. I'm currently doing a personal challenge on a second account where I'm fast traveling as little as possible (I'm only allowed to leave the Depths with it, and even then, I have to go to the nearest Shrine to where I entered the Depths). It's been fun so far.

    Great video, its something ive been talking to my friends about too. Two of my mates loved, loved, loved BOTW but havent got into TOTK and have moved on. I think partly because the of the reasons you mentioned but also the tone of both games is very different. BOTW celebrates isolation and wilderness, wheras TOTK's Hyrule feels alive and full and rather than being your own, it always feels like someone is just around the corner. I personally love both but its interesting hearing other peoples takes! Keep up the great work, liked and subscribed!

  • @catatafish22
    @catatafish22 Рік тому +3

    Cool analysis. I remember thinking the same thing - the added mobility will be gamebreaking... no more getting stuck behind giant mountains, not more having to travel through a gauntlet to reach a city (like following the path to the zora city in botw for instance). Now I can just fly there, or I can launch myself out of a skytower and glide there.
    The thing is. this new creation is a double edged sword. The building mechanics and the sky islands are awesome additions... but both inevitably invite gamebreaking mechanics. If you want people to explore sky islands, you need to give them a way of launching in to the sky. If you want players to experiment with building using ancient technology, you give them a free pass to just travel anywhere with no restrictions. It's a double edged sword.
    My conclusion was I was happy either way, because the added difficulty of exploring the depths and the hidden skill system which spawns harder enemies as you gain exp makes up for the methods of 'cheating' we've been given. I still feel adequately challenged despite all of these new mechanics which make the game easier. I'm happy with a game so long as I feel challenged and engaged... and thats how I feel with totk. So it's all good

  • @obits3
    @obits3 Рік тому +1

    I’ve thought about this a lot with open world games and superior tools. I recently started replaying Pokémon Scarlet and decided to explore the entire world without upgrades to the ride Pokémon. I was able to get to all of the fast travel points, but it was honestly a challenge. I could tell where the developers had added paths I never used for travel which I suddenly had use. This was great for world building because not everyone has a super ride that can jump and climb things. Even once you get all the upgrades, your fly distance is heavily limited (it is basically a glider) to prevent flying from dominating the game. Personally, I would have buffed flying as part of the post game, but I at least understand why they limited it for the main game.
    Bringing this back to Zelda TOTK, I think the developers might have underestimated the creativity of the player base. For example, they clearly intended flying machines to be more limited (look at how fast the wing despawns). I wonder if anyone actually anticipated the two fan steering stick bike otherwise known as the hover bike. There are some no wing flying builds in the world for you, but no hover bikes. Usually, they either use the balloons, rockets, or have four fans and batteries. They certainly didn’t anticipate people breaking off part of elevator to make a low gravity flyer or the use of unconnected fans to violate physics.
    On top of that, they probably thought people would be less efficient at gathering resources. Until you unlock Autobuild, things are much harder. The intended path likely concentrates on the regional problems first, exploring the land and sky. From there, you go to the depths with the fifth sage. That’s not to say that they didn’t expect you to explore the depths earlier. Instead, it is that they likely didn’t expect people would be able to fully exploit the power of the depths so fast.

    also the map is good but its not "great". It feels too empty. I found myself feeling like i was looking at the same field of grass with either snow or rain on it to make it different. To me there wasnt enough to fill every space. Thats also the unfortunate part about open world games. Elden Ring is by no means my favorite game but what i find it does well is populate every inch of the map with something to look at or do. In Zelda i find myself wanting to explore but too often i feel like even though im on the opposite side of the world it looks the exact same.

  • @aviciitothamax
    @aviciitothamax Рік тому +1

    Good points, trying to rescue players from optimizing the fun out of their experience is an eternal game design problem that only gets harder the more tools the player has.
    I would have liked to see a few systems that reward creative builds.
    (Deliver an NPC a flying machine using at least these 3 (heavy) parts.)
    I found myself endlessly repeating a few contraptions that solved my open world problems.
    One to go up, one to go far, etc.
    Or alternatively, an NPC that tracks how far you've travelled using each player verb and rewards you for milestones.
    (Walk 5km / ride a horse 5km / glide with paraglider 5km / shield surf 2km / swim 2km / etc)
    Or even challenges that limit how far you can travel with a certain verb (reach this korok / shrine only on horseback / shield surfing) kind of like the koroks that didn't let you touch the floor.

    I used to think this, but the more I thought about the game the more convinced I am it needs MORE Symmetry in sky and depths, that is, we need more sky caves and caverns on top of the depths map, not as particular content rich locations, but maybe for example as stops on the dragon routes with features of interest like new side bosses like a large Aerokuda or rare elemental battle Talus with Elemental Bokoblin riders, Mucktorocks, challenge gauntlets with unusual enemy formations, etc.
    Then in the sky we need more caves in general.

    Respectfully, I _totally_ disagree with the notion that after the experience of Tears, I'd even consider the thought that Botw even existed anymore. Breath was a _hugely_ crushing disappointment for me; but I'm in that mold that Tears came along with it's _Wonderful_ Ultrahand - and stuck all the broken pieces of emptiness I felt in Breath together - but along with a fresh meaty Plot and _proper_ Dungeons! Then added 2 more _delicious_ layers of lovely Sky _and_ Depths filling to my new Legendary Lasagne!

    BotW and TotK are definetly in my best zelda games list, they were a experience that made me speechless, that said, that was a great vid, and i agree with it, and the funny thing is.. u know the desert sandstorm puzzle ? it didnt hit me that i could build a flying machine to go over it, i assumed it wouldnt let me, it would have some invisible wall or something like that, didnt even tried, then i saw this video and i was like: oh.. yeah.. i could've have done that, why didnt i think about that ? thats such a easy and obvious way to ''solve'' the puzzle, but for me it wasnt, i think thats what the devs could have intended by some degree in the game, different people have different ideas about how to deal with a situation or problem and how they will find a solution, and the freedom that TotK gives to us to solve those problems are the beauty of the game in my view. :D

    Great video.
    This game is definitely amazing.
    And your entitled to your own opinion, and that’s not right or not, but I don’t think any of what you mentioned is the games fault, that’s the way the game was designed, that being said it’s the players choice to “take the easy way out(when something is taking too long) or choose to take their time with the game and really enjoy it for what it’s all about.
    I think that’s the problem today.
    People don’t want to put time into anything and want to just go go go, get it done as quick as possible and even in real life when you do that and you don’t “take time to smell the roses” you could potentially miss out on some really cool things and moments.
    It just depends on how much you really want to “experience” the game or just “play” the game.
    This is my opinion of course.
    Thanks for the video

    I did not like TOTK at first. I played it a little then got frustrated with it and put it down for two weeks. When I started playing it again, it grabbed me harder than one of the big hands in Elden Ring! That was three weeks ago, and I haven't played anything since. Once I figured out the mechanics and started exploring the depths, I was hooked!! BUT then I found my very first lynel! Been fighting them ever since! I like it better than BOTW I think.

    Not really, as you dont get the proper amount of batteries or autobuild or parts without grinding or looking up vids of it, hence ruining your own experience of the discovery. Don't pretend like you knew how to build that hoverbike without looking it up or seeing it on social media. Then when you naturally come across those parts and have enough zonite, and figured out all the building yourself, you are 3/4 through the game, that was the intention.

    Too much focus on the ability to make funny things to show off on youtube, not enough focus on a decent narrative or characters. As somebody that loved BOTW, I enjoyed TOTK, but mostly found myself being disappointed. I'm really surprised you mention you loved exploring the depths/sky islands, because those were two of the areas I felt the most let down by.
    The depth is a gigantic single biome - 90% of it just being filled with the same enemies as the overworld (I think there was one unique enemy type in the depths), and the reward for exploring mostly being collectible armor that isn't actually useful (if you're lucky - sometimes it's just a big battery). I remember being so hyped about the evil statue side quest, and then you complete it and the statue just becomes a merchant...
    The sky islands were the same islands copy-pasted repeatedly and the same boring "bring the crystal to the shrine door" puzzle, with a few "jump down through the rings" mini games.
    Anyhow, I could continue to write about a lot of other stuff that really bothered me about the game but this post is negative enough already. This was a really well-put together video and I hope you get a lot more subs, bc the effort you put into it is apparent. Subbed!

    But I think totk is way more fun despite how broken it is,there’s just an infinite possibilities of creating weapons or builds and the abilities work very well together
    Way better than having bombs or a block of ice as an ability for specific scenarios
    Botw can become quickly boring because of how balanced it is.
