@@garretdrake2347 They're not exactly Divine Beasts but they're not like expansive traditional dungeons. They did refine the approach, bosses and theme, but central puzzles are still isolated terminals to activate. The puzzle is more getting to these terminals but a lot of it is a straightforward solution (or many given how much can be cheesed, especially the Fire temple). Also worth noting that Divine Beasts had a more encompassing puzzle element as you had to move parts of the structure itself, not that I think it's a definite pro or con, just different. In any case, the creators themselves admitted to wanting to flesh out these dungeons in the open world setting but in no case is the previous template "back", they said they weren't really concerned by that.

they were right, it should of been a DLC on BotW

Aight rant time: botw was a great game, but not a „real Zelda“. That hard carried it. It was amazing and had great new ideas, expanding the Zelda formula while mixing contemporary game design in. But again, it wasn’t a full Zelda. Which imo is what people expected totk to be. Not a retread of Botw, but the Zelda formula ( dungeons, key items, a progressing story) married with Botws formula (open world, explorative freedom, size). What we instead got was botw, slightly changed in minuscule ways, but either lacking what we expected and or devoid of things that could develop the formula even further. I tried to like the game, but honestly, every time I have to use fuse ability, build a stupid „car“ or have to stick something together with green goo to progress forward at a reasonable pace, it instantly takes me out of the experience. We got more convoluted systems that force you to play the game in a certain way or deal with the inconveniences not committing to that way brings. While at the same time the content we wanted to see is missing and everything feels „less“ because we have done all of this a thousand times already, the shrines, the „main quest“, the „searching for memories to explain what happened“, all of it. We expected dungeons, new items, weapons, abilities and a story settled in the present, and got a Fortnite building system and an even more annoying weapon system. Sure people meme about how link can now build death machines and crucify koroks, but that’s the thing. It’s only funny because of the absurdity. Same reason why everyone memed about caveman link killing the final boss with sticks while eating 500 apples in botw. It doesnt fit, only this time we’ve waited 7 years for progress and paid 70 bucks only to have the game be the same, but worse mechanically. And for those saying the „sky and depths tho“ one is literally just the entire map but the same rock assets copy pasted with a few mines, the brightness turned down and like 2 new effects on certain enemies and you. The other is so minute and inconvenient to travel around in that it barely matters aside from setdressing. The only actual „sky island“ was the tutorial one and even there, I preferred botws great plateau. „But we got dungeons!“ have we? No, cause dungeons take actual brain power to solve and in my playthrough I breezed through all 4 in like 15-20 min each, never once going „okay how do I progress now“ even less stopping to admire dungeon design like in any Zelda before botw. No initial challenge, no effort, no actual reward for beating them, the only boss design I can even remember is the gibdo Queen and for every of these but the sand temple, the actual reaching of the dungeon was more challenging than the dungeon itself, which imo is because the way to em being purposefully stretched out and tedious so when you reach the dungeon you’d feel like you had a journey behind you, when half the time you had to talk to two NPCs, talk to them again, fast travel to the town, talk to them again because „something happened now“ then do some Platforming until you reach the dungeon. Again, nothing that made me care, I literally did this in the last game and that was more of a process. Don’t get me started on the boring and uninspired design and the fact we basically got to listen to the same cutscene 4 times when beating the boss. That Goron mine is one of the most atrocious gimmick levels I’ve ever seen, and the only thing why I even remember it is because it was a dungeon idea I always wanted to see, but executed in the worst way possible. Character wise, I did not care for most of the new ones, the reacurring ones either did not remember you at all and were back to square one or had no development as is in the last game anyways. „oh shit we, and have to somehow make you retrack the areas from last game, can you help us again link?“ in the most hamfisted way. All I remember is that Purah is grown up now because gotta monetize the Age of Calamity thirst bait, Payas got a hat, Rijus got a cleopatra haircut and Sidons got a fish wife so all the SidLink shippers would stop making gay fish rule 34 fanart. Yes, I honestly feel Nintendo did that on purpose, no, I am 100% cool with it. The monsters look like worse versions of their botw versions because of the monster parts (who the fuck decided to put a goddamn pommel on the horn of a white bokoblin and made the white lizalfos horn a goddamn scythe like are you clinically insane?) the only new monsters I genuinely liked were again, the gibdos because they actually had a cool enemy concept with them. Also don’t get me started on Ganon, that guy has less screentime than in ocarina of time and he felt way more threatening in every other 3d Zelda. His entire plot was convoluted and even in the background cutscenes he was a damn cartoon villain. To sum up. Botw was a proof of concept for a new kind of Zelda. Totk after 7 years of development, did nothing explore or use that concept in the way the general fanbase hoped , reused the old game and added nothing justifiable of value, instead changing the concept in weird and unnecessary ways and misstepping in every direction. Botw was an original game dressing up as a Zelda game . Totk was a glorified dlc that dressed up as botw.

@@dylynntendo For sure, i get that. Totk Zonai devices made fast travel almost irrelevant.

I whole heartedly recommend to anyone who has never played BotW or TotK to NOT play TotK, but BotW instead for many reasons, but mainly because the map was literally built around the story, gameplay mechanics, sidequests and other quirks in BotW. Due to reusing the same map in TotK many places have suddenly lost their points of interest. TotK is just not good for the map that was literally made for BotW.

If they would’ve given us some DLC for this game instead of just being lazy and giving the excuse that they worked on it for 6 years then this game probably would’ve won game of the year and I’m sure there’s a bigger reason they decided to not make any DLC but to me I think it’s because they worked on this game for 6 years and they didn’t want to take a little extra time to add more content. Yeah even though Breath of the Wild took even longer for them to finish and still went an extra mile and made an expansion pack for it. Tears of the Kingdom desperately needs some DLC by this point and it’s not too late for Nintendo to make some. Like one of the things I was really hoping for is to explore a rebuilt Hyrule in its former state again and the game makes you think that’s going to be a thing in the game. The moment I came across one of those Hudson Construction stops in the over world and read the sign it really gave me some hope that Hyrule would be getting rebuilt later in the game but that’s not what it seems like to me. They could’ve made it where after completing each dungeon and Regional Phenomenon the more Hyrule Castle Town begins to be rebuilt. If they did that it would actually push me to wanting to progress the main story more.

Primarily it doesn't need a DLC, the main issues are in its design so it should have been addressed in the base game. Even with extra sky islands, a couple challenges and a few story cutscenes they couldn't add too much and that wouldn't "fix" the game.

Usually these videos are ironic, but for once I agree with you and you sound seeious about it.

As someone who's currently doing back to back playthroughs of both botw and totk; both games are great, but I find myself having shortyer play sessions with tears because things just feel too repetitive. Sure the dungeons are awesome but i kinda wish they did more wwith the overworld(s).

It really does does feel like botw ver 2.0 they had all that time and only iterated from the baseline. Consider Majora's Mask, one year of dev time and wow was that game so RADICALLY different in every way.

I think I actually agree with you on every point here.... loved the game. Love the franchise. But I got complaints. (Was hoping they'd fix some stuff like underutilizing the depths in DLC but noooope)

I mean they didn’t even tell us that there was a whole world underground. They teased the sky islands and caves.

TOTK is awful.

I really like TOTK, but I'm gonna have to agree to everything you said in this video, especially about the sky islands and the depths. I was excited about the sky islands before, so I decided to explore all of them, once I completed everything in the sky islands, I eventually felt no reason to visit them anymore, the only enemies you can really find on the sky islands are the constructs, the flux constructs, and those 3 king gleeoks which are the only reason I would occasionally go to the sky islands, but other than that, there really isn't any real reason to revisit the sky islands as it doesn't have any thing useful that you can't already find on the surface, especially since almost all of them are basically the same island bjt with minor differences. The depths was cool at first when I first discovered it, but I realized not long after that it's extremely empty, the depths is surface, but the only materials you can find are bomb flowers, muddlebuds, and puffshrooms, you can collect poes which you can use to exchange for items you probably don't really care about, they could've let you use them for something more intresting, the weapons you can get from those shadow guys are just already existing weapons except they do more damage, there are exclusive enemies in the depths like the frox for example, but most of the time you're fighting enemies that you can find on the surface, but this time they do _gloom_ damage. So anyway, as much as I love the game, I can't deny that it is a little lazy in some areas, but I still think it's a great sequel to BOTW, I'll probably try to 100% at some point.

Summon ability cooldown shortening was what I expected with the champion upgrades. Baffling that it's not in the game.

if u use sidons water bubble and some shock things on a arrow it will make the big electric bubble like u would if u shot it in water

I honestly think in many ways, Tears of the Kingdom is just straight up a bad game. For all the reasons you mention and lots more.

So fun to scroll through a seemingly endless item menu to glue things to my arrows, and then have to do that for every single shot. Nintendo?? Why is there not a dedicated specialty arrow menu like we had in BotW??? I once had all the Sages out roaming around the Depths and, just for funsies, I stood back to see how long it would take them to kill a Little Frox. Two full minutes. Two minutes of them running around and posing at it and running back to me and then running at the Little Frox again WHILE the Little Frox was lunging at me. But then when I'm actively fighting and am waiting for the enemy to swing so I can Flurry Rush it, then, *ONLY THEN* do they wake the fuck up and hit the enemy before it swings at me, causing the enemy to go after THEM instead of me, dragging out the fight for another two minutes while they repeat the whole run around>pose>run around>pose routine. Now I only ever have Tulin out because at least his ability is actually useful Game fun. Building system is fun. House building is one of my favorite things to do but I don't do it near as often because I get attached to one layout and then don't want to change it (WHY CAN I ONLY HAVE 15 UNITS?? WHY DOES GRANTESON NOT STAY IN HIS GODDANG BOOTH??? WHY DO I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH SQUATTERS ON MY PROPERTY IN BOTH GAMES????). But good God it could have REALLY benefitted from more linearity in the storytelling and more streamlined inventory menus (and more interesting things to find in the Depths that aren't just nostalgia-bait for the older games, which I will never wear/will only use this once and am only getting for completionist purposes)

I agree with u, totk is still great but it didint go up to my expectations, its not really complete imo, and the story is just based off the past.

Y’all basically got the same game

I think the main thing I disagree with you on is the first part about the world. I’ve heard all the criticism about the combat, story, and champion abilities 100 times before and I agree with all of it, though i don’t think it’s actyally that big of a deal because I still had a lot of fun with it and really really enjoyed the story personally. The thing about the world is though: you can boil it down to “it’s just the same world but with caves, a kind of empty underground and a sparsely populated sky” but that point of view usually completely ignores what playing the game actually feels like. The addition of these things drastically affect how you traverse and generally perceive the world you traverse. Since these three parts of the world are seemlessly connected, it becomes more like you have one massive playground to do things in. Not to mention there’s generally new things to do, people to see and things to collect. Like it’s really not the same game to botw in any way just because it shares a general setting. Overall you seem to really be exaggerating this game’s flaws too. Totk definitely deserved the nomination and while I didn’t really expect it to win due to its competition, I still think it doesn’t deserve this kind of hate against it.

There’s so many different things to do in caves alone, some are like mini dungeons (and the secret hidden locations like the caverns of crystal pillars that give the op big hearty truffles). Note: you can locate caves at a distance by tossing an apple into the statues at the base of cherry blossom trees. They also made the exploration synergistic with each other: overworld lets you get to sky islands by letting you see them from anywhere, caves give brightblooms in abundance and armor sets to help you explore the depths and rest of the overworld, skylands are the least numerous but all give you zonai parts for building and revealing hidden locations in the depths and finally the depths give you zonai parts aswell to assist further exploration and lets you fight stronger battles to obtain the best weapons and armor sets possible (aswell as good minerals for upgrades). Top that all off with the fact you always see something in the distance that draws your attention and urge to quickly check it out, exploring has been more streamlined than anything I have seen from other games.

This isn't directed at DooM himself, but man… opinions and criticism on the internet have felt so corroded nowadays, and certain comment replies on this video are some of many examples of this Harsh negativity is almost everywhere I go, and it's led to internet discussions feeling so exhausting Negativity bias is a bitch, and I'm an example

I feel like the blame is twofold here. One is from emotional fans who expect too much and want to make their feelings heard, while also getting burnt if their expectations aren’t met. The other is studios KNOWING these fans exist and either use them as full on cash cows and just milk them dry with increasingly inferior products until goodwill is dried up (see FIFA or dare I say it, totk) , or them attacking fans for their strong opinions about said product and denouncing them, because if they don’t wanna consume the product in the way the company releases it, the product „isn’t meant for them“ (see tlou2) If you look at how No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk were handled, you can see the correct way this interaction should go.

Thats basically every sequel. They all feel familiar. By that logic, Spiderman 2, RE4, Alan Wake 2, TLoU2, GoW 2, etc. all dont deserve awards or nominations.

Spider man 2 had a better story, I will die on that hill

Very fun game, but yeah :3 Compared to BG3 that went absolutely *in* on the detail, experience and quality, it's just alright. But 2023 had a lot of good game releases, so it was a tight race anyhow.

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with this game as well. If you haven’t played BOTW than yeah play TOTK it’s an upgrade in every way. But if you own BOTW you might as well not bother with TOTK. TOTK is the better game but I think I might prefer BOTW cause it did it first.

TotK could be BotW DLC. It's basically BotW 1.5. The biggest thing it has going for it is Zonai building and to me it feels like a gimmick. It turned Zelda into Garry's Mod

I hate this game. Everything is so fucking clunky. I don't want to play Lego Builder featuring Link. I just want to fight monsters and explore, and I want to do so without 20,000 goddamn menus and clunky ass controls getting in the way. And for God's sake, Nintendo, please populate the fucking map. Being mostly empty was cool the first time when the world was in ruin. Now, instead of adding two more maps of fucking nothing, just fill the map you already have with lots more cool shit.

Thank god it didnt win GOTY. Its more of the same as breath of the wild and its not as impressive for a game that was released many years later. Repetitive sht, fact that the fanboys liked this gives nintendo all the control they need to make more sht games for premium prices knowing there fans will jump through hoops for anything shiieeet

I don't think it really compares with BoTW. That game is a masterpiece, while ToTK is like Die Hard 2. It can stand alone, but there is no incentive to watch it over and over.

I think there's a major difference between coming down from a honeymoon period and just overreaching on criticism. I didn't expect TotK to win because it did have stiff competition. Hi-Fi Rush was really good but it barely won anything because it was an early contender which is rare for an early contender to win. I don't think Alan Wake 2 should've gotten much either despite me liking the first game and being a little mixed on Control but there are certain "types" of games that get nominated for very superfluous reasons. Baldur's Gate deserved the win simply on various principles and justified reasoning. The fact that its such a massive glow up from its previous numbered entries and made with all the love and care you would expect from developers, yeah, it was a no brainer that it'd win and I haven't even played the game. But with all that said, I think we're seeing a genuine repeat of what happened with BotW where people are feeling the need to overreach on their gripes with the game. Its not perfect because I can easily point out plenty of flaws to both games and every other Zelda game I've played but they're still really good in many other ways that overshadow those flaws. They also do what they need to in order to not only stand out amongst the crowd but push the boundaries of what its capable of within it series and sometimes its genre. TotK is the same way and after playing both it and BotW, side by side, I feel the difference on a fundamental level. I just find this veiled bashing both these entries have gotten and will continue to get to be unnecessary. I know everyone wants to believe that that's not what this is and I can certainly agree to an extent about the issues both games have but it gets tiring after awhile to see the same points of contentions overblown time and time again and this is far from new when looking at past issues with other Zelda games. It genuinely feels like the only people who rag on Zelda the most are Zelda fans themselves and it gets to a point where the legitimate criticism just turns into overdone cynicism. I haven't seen any Zelda fans butthurt over the loss either but perhaps that's because I don't rely on cesspools like Twitter and Reddit to view opinions. The only salty people I've seen about the game awards are Spider-Man fans so I have to wonder what exactly is the point to making a video about how Zelda didn't deserve to win when I don't think there's a massive rally that it should've. Maybe its just me but I see more people hating the game itself rather than supporting it these days

I don’t think people are overreaching, I think people were expecting a lot more of a game in development for 6 years using the foundation of the previous entry. It feels like a lot more of that time was spent making sure the ultrahand physics were perfect rather than building upon Breath of the Wild. I’m not saying there needed to be a brand new Hyrule-sized map but the sky is so repetitive it does not feel rewarding or interesting to explore & the depths are needlessly big with little substance. Exploration was a big part of what made BOTW so good to play, but when it is lacking in the sequel you will find yourself hyper-focusing on other aspects of the game.

I believe this was the runner-up to GOTY though. Baldur's Gate 3 was definitely my personal favorite this year, one of my favorite games of all time. However I haven't played Alan Wake 2 since I do not have Epic Games and they should just bring it to Steam.

I think the amount of "disappointed" videos now are hilarious, at start, everyone was like 11/10, best zelda ever, botw is an early tech demon compared to that, and now the only thing people talk about is how disappointing the game was

Bg3 surely don't deserve game of the year award, Its not even an actual game lol its a talking dialogue simulator where all you do is click click click lmao its a shame this won over the other actual video game specially zelda who step up to another level with the new unbelievable creative stuff that was never seen before in gaming history ! Only to get screwed by this clicking simulator smh

I think you’re being a bit harsh with your criticism, while I do agree with you on most points, I do think you’re exaggerating a bit when you say it didn’t deserve game of the year. Do I think BG3 deserved to win, yes and I love that game, but saying TotK didn’t deserve game of the year is a little far when you look at the stuff they did add, even when some of it if very lackluster. There should’ve been more stuff to do on the sky islands, the depths were criminally underused, and the story definitely could’ve been better but i could also say a lot of stuff I don’t like about every other game of the year contender that is to the same extent as you did TotK. I could make the argument that BG3 is a D&D game that is confusing for newcomers, the world is a bit too linear even for a non open world game, it is an extremely long game with grinding required etc. so while your criticisms are definitely valid I still think the game deserves the title of game of the year even with all the great games released this year

keep coping man you think nintendo doesn't hate you when they constantly overprice things, make horrible online for 95% of their games, overprice joycons which are like $100+ online unless you get lucky on ebay. Which by the way even though nintendo lost the lawsuit they still make you pay $40 to ship and fix a single joycon. Not to mention nintendo's recent tournament guidelines which probably won't do anything but are a very good example of how nintendo hates it's consumers (smash players kinda deserve it thou).@@Pyrope_Multiverse_Protector
