I have played this now and it made me realize another thing I don't like about the open world Zeldas. I miss the recovery hearts, magic, and rupee pickups. All monsters drop in these games is random garbage.
Between open world fatigue, I just didn’t like TOTK for being a game expansion while also retconning BOTW’s interesting technologically-advanced fantasy apocalypse setting and I’m honestly just not creative when it comes to the Garry’s Mod-inspired mechanics. There’s players that are building torture devices for Koroks and B-17 flying fortresses to rain laser death down onto the mobs, meanwhile I’m like a caveman figuring out how wheels work.
They really shouldnt have fired nick as now the escapist is nothing without zero punctuation.
what a stupid move.
Too much added for an Addon literally 2 extra zones added the same size as the original map
"Boy I love being intact"
The ad was a harbinger.
I think the game definitely suffers from the hardware. It’s unfortunate that one of the few games that gives a player so many creative mechanics, is on the one console that can’t handle taking them to the next level.
Seeing that ad at the start reminds me how happy I am that this channel is now dead.
Both BotW and TotK are very impressive, but I agree with Yahtzee in wishing that people wouldn't call them perfect. They're probably the best games for which I can still think of lots of improvements on them, such as:
* Tone down some of the extreme damage spikes.
* Let me cook more than one copy of a given recipe at once.
* (BotW) Don't move the Korok Seed vendor to the Lost Woods until we can teleport there.
* (TotK) Don't bury Autobuild so far into the game.
With the recent news of the entire Escapist video department imploding, it's extremely funny to come back here and see the video start and end with what is essentially a slap fight between a company that doesn't respect its employees and an employee who no longer respects the company.
Okay here's the thing.
Something can not matter whilte still being enjoyed. The story DOESN'T matter BUUUUT if it was there, it'd be nice
i unironically think that nintendo bought commenters to be diehard fans about how TOTK is "game of the year" despite it being so fing boring after 2 areas because its the exact same thing. and you already know the story because they all say the exact same thing. i hated the game for tricking me into wasting my time but worse was the people who delude themselves into thinking its impeccable because nintento AAA name despite being a very pretty looking pile o shizz
200 hrs and I felt nothing
very nice to hear Yahtzee's thoughts on this game
Lol, so Yahtzee is a Harry Potter fan, or he isn't???
That ending is a really good point. I intially didn't notice Tears of the Kingdom's flaws because of how much it improved on a game I also loved.
I am so very disappointed in the stupid AD before the video. C'mon Escapist….don't start being cringy.
TotK either matches or improves upon BotW in every way but one: christ almighty is it annoyingly lazy of the devs to make most of the Koroks simply stand around complaining they've gotten separated from their friend.
I'm just glad it was good, lol
My biggest gripe of the game is that its all just padding with getting hundreds of these items to get things that honestly isn't rewarding. If it easnt a zelda game, it wouldn't have the praise it has. Bias is a powerful thing.
So, what I'm taking away from this is that Yahtzee legitimately actually enjoyed the game but wants other reviewers to quit sucking it off.
Tears if the kingdom did start as DLC, but it got too big like what happened with Mario Galaxy 2.
I only just starting playing Breath of the Wild and I have to say that perhaps bigger isn't always better, I'm scared to even get TOTK because of the fact that I might run into the No Man's Sky problem of there all this shit and a massive bloody world that I get bored of exploring in the first 10 minutes.
He’s still making these videos damn
He explains the opening perfectly.
What the fuck was that ad?
A tale about sacrifice where the only ones sacrificed are the villain and two characters who died eons ago. And why on earth didn't they let Link emote at least a little like he does in Wind Waker? There's also the massive, mostly-empty world, dungeons that aren't dungeons, and I'm not sure why Zelda has become synonymous with Portal and building Lego vehicles.
I'm not saying it isn't a good game, but it has its flaws. If we don't hold games up to a higher standard, this is he best we're going to get.
All I'm going to say is that it probably says how little this game has affected the video game community as a whole by this being the first time I was told there was a new Zelda game released.
God damn genshin impact
Imo, BotW feels like the more comolete game. TotK clearly hd a linear storyline that they just put in an open world because "it worked last time."
That said, I STILL love TotK, and it is nice to see and talk to characters we met in BotW!
Anything considered lower than 9 out of 10 is considered bad to some.
0:59 recommending shit games doesnt go with the style of these reviews
