The noodles where ropes hanging from floating chop sticks, and it was animated by driving a rod up and down, which lifted the chop sticks, which lifted the noodles. It performed this loop quite quickly. George liked this sign, so he recorded it on video and put it into B-roll for his japan video. Then he placed it in another video, and another still... was it a meme before or after he placed it in more than one video? We may never know - all I know is ghost noodles are a thing in japan.

It really bums me out how many people fundamentally misunderstand what made BOTW such a fantastic and successful game. It was the exploration. People praise the movement? Yeah, that was a tool for exploration. People praise the emergent gameplay? Yeah, part of exploration was exploring the game's interactions. People hate on equipment durability? Yeah, bub, making everything temporary or consumable is one way the game is able to keep rewarding you for exploration. I know a lot of the Zelda fans didn't give a crap and just wanted another linear action adventure dungeon crawler, but BOTW was the game that brought so many into the series that would have never cared about a Zelda game otherwise. Like me. The only other Zelda game I like at all is the first one on the NES because of how open ended it is. All the linear adventure games in between that and BOTW are deeply unsatisfying to me and I've never been able to stick with one for more than a few hours before wondering when the heck I'm supposed to start having fun. From how much further BOTW reached than previous Zelda titles I'm pretty sure a whole lot of people feel similarly to me. I'd love to see more games like BOTW from designers that actually understood what made BOTW's reach so great, rather than just emulating its surface presentation. Because wow is Genshin Impact not BOTW, as much as it visually resembles BOTW, and I don't think Fenyx Rising is either. And holy crap I hope Nintendo themselves understands, because I would be so damn happy if the sequel is a game for filthy casuals like me too, who don't give a what about dungeons and mainly just want to explore and engage with a fantastical overworld. And not just something for Zelda fans or linear action adventure fans and nobody else.

Of course these games arent going to be 100% behind the idea of what BOTW was, that being a tool for sandbox elements and exploration. What they did do though, was use it mostly as a foundation to build off of. There's a lot of things you can explore in both Fenyx and Genshin, but instead of being a pure BOTW clone, their goals are entirely different a the end of the day. Fenyx is still a ubisoft game mostly made to pad out time and do some flashy things, while Genshin is still a mobile gacha game made for you to buy the newest and hottest character.

Fundamentally you are expecting the player to observe his surroundings, solve some sort of problem (ideally one of resource management to give the world dynamism), solve a bigger problem(combat or puzzle) and then reward them with either some progression in mechanics (skill tree would be a good example) or storytelling(in any form: environemntal, visual or/ and auditory, like an audio log. BOTW made sure that there was a huge variety of mechanics for the player to sink their teeth in, mostly in the way of great puzzles, progression and survival/ resource management. Immortals does everyone of those steps, except for the first and even that it does encourage the player to atleast look in the direction of an objective. I would still classify that as exploration, as it passes every other part of my fictional system with flying colors. Also yes of course game designers knew what made botw right, you dont make an amazing game by fluke.

I've only come across this game in the past few days, and I'm intrigued. I've never played BOTW, as I don't have a switch, and buying one to play just that game isn't worth it for me, as I don't care about any other switch games. I felt AC oddessy was very bloated and grindy, though I loved the setting. I might pick this up after I'm finished with Cyberpunk.

Welp, I figured out what I'm getting my nephew for Christmas! Thanks George!

i'm glad that BotW hammered some sense into Ubisoft. we don't want a generic sandbox with towers. we wanna explore and have epic battles. and the story shouldn't even be there, so the comedic tone is welcome'd.

I still can't believe I started watching your vids from one name drop by Funhaus, years ago about the Konami/Kojima scandal. Been a fan ever since. Great work!

Good to be reminded that outside of Nintendo, proper large scale kids games that aren’t cynical microtransation milkers and shovelware, are still being made.

Ancient Greek game? I look forward to George's review.

After watching your video, you make some good points, but honestly I think this game is way more than the sum of its parts. Most of the issues mentioned you don't notice while actually playing. The similarities stick out obviously, but this game puts its own spin just enough for it to still be really enjoyable. Good video, just a little disagreement on the conclusion!

I've really enjoyed the game. The humor is a little uneven at times, but the gameplay is near perfect for this style of game. Weirdly I hated BotW, but loved this game

Thanks for the vid. Always great.

I've seen several reviews and always thought that there wasn't much creative thinking required to solve these puzzles, so you would only be left with rather boring-looking combat with zero environmental interaction. You going into detail about what these mechanical pillars actually entail made me interested in this game again after I'd already almost written it off.

“115 years ago..” Ah yes, the last time KZread has notified me of your videos in my sub box. Thank you KZread.

God damn I love this channel....what's the best way to support you George?

The PS3 era had a lot of games that wholesale plucked bad mechanics and jammed them together so you have sluggish military shooters with annoying loot/crafting mechanics. This borrowed and improved lots of GOOD games.

I've been looking forward to this since I first saw it revealed years ago, but now I won't get it because they made it a PC exclusive on Epic's store. Another reason this won't do as well as it should.

damnnnnn another video? what a treat.

I never thought of any relation to Greek and Japanese culture. I thought we just like cultures that was good at warfare because it's cool.

Great review, once again. This has me interested in checking the game out again, after the mostly middling/negative coverage the game got of late. Not having owned a Nintendo console in years, I'm perfectly fine playing a Zelda clone, though I do get the creative criticism from various sources.

Does it have a left-right balancer? Yes!

Weirdly the thing I enjoyed most about BotW, and the thing I wish other games would copy (and haven't) WAS the fact that the map wasn't dense. It actually felt "Wild" like the title suggests. There was a sense of "place" and a natural quality formed out of the stubborn commitment to the idea that sometimes a tree on a hill is just going to be a tree on a hill. Maybe a korok lives here. Isn't that enough? For me it was, but I also recognize that I'm probably the weird one here. No other game overworld has felt like BotW, and I sincerely hope they don't ruin it in the sequel just for the sake of someone's attention span. Games like these feel more like I'm stuck in a theme park. There's nothing for me to imagine. This Greek aesthetic is nice, but it also feels like a mini-golf course.

This game is looking like a definite buy for me but I have to say the launch window really hurts them. Even as someone who is likely to love this game I just can't really justify getting it now when it's coming out a week before Cyberpunk. Just not enough time to be diving into a dense open world game right before a much more anticipated dense open world game. If it had released in January or February I think more people would be up for giving it a shot but a lot of people who would probably have otherwise been interested and enjoyed it are likely going to hold off or even forget about it completely simply as a result of it's proximity to what is one of the most anticipated games of the last few years.
