Wow
@December Flower!
Flaming pile of garbage! Skyrim sucked?
You seem like a hard to please gamer!
But I can understand the high standards for a Zelda game.
I think BotW can be seen as a sort of stand alone direction for Zelda. But I certainly didn't see anything worthy of that level of disdain!
Ah, I gotta start somewhere..
So the reason Skyrim is bad, is because it's just not a real TES. It's too small, too easy, lacks depth and real character development. Your character is pretty strong from the start, that is not TES. In a real TES you're NOTHING at the start, you have issues killing rats.
The guilds, next point. So Skyrim does have a sort-of appropriate amount of guilds, although most guilds are fucking tiny, and there's not much you can do. The college has like 10 quests?! If it's even 10. It's like: Go to the digsite, check the magic ball, talk to the psyjic, talk some more, get a dwemer do-hickey: now you're the Archmage. NO MATTER IF YOU'RE A WARRIOR AND HAVE 0 SKILL IN MAGIC. Congrats! Wow. Compare that to Morrowind where the guilds you CAN'T join have like 10 quests, and the ones you CAN join have about 30-40. The guilds have skill-demands of you, they have shitloads of work to do, and you need to acquire a certain rank to even be trained by most members. Grinding a guild should take LOOONG, not 2 hours and you're done with it. Actually playing a TES should take long, but Skyrim just doesn't. I mean I can take my time and be even more OP
It's just too easy and too much made for the masses(who obviously don't like thinking in games), I was disappointed with Skyrim. NO puzzles in Skyrim, no thinking required. All the awesome magic spells are gone, like blind, deafen, chamäleon, slow fall, levitate, dmg to attributes, weight, solid water, ... this list goes on forever, Skyrim has like 0 spells. I never even died in Skyrim, on the highest difficulty level. Just too easy
So up to Zelda, I'm a bit dreading this. The graphics annoy me, I hate this androgynic blonde lifeform that replaced Link. The "puzzles" to solve were
much to easy. Their frequent use of "bobblehead" dummy graphics, instead of doing one game with decent graphics just pisses me off - are their programmers from the past? Do they not want to pay the money to make an actually decent looking game? Nintendo has gone full-on-cash-grab mode on Zelda/Mario/etc, and now it seems like they're becoming lazy with their games. They make 10 remakes for every game and sell them back to people who already paid for the game, only to discover that the graphics-tweak is minimal, and one should have just kept playing SNES.
On top of that there's this general issue with new games, that they're becoming too easy, since the days, when being a PC nerd was a bad thing, and we had our peace from other people and especially kids in games. Now each game is easier than the last, even reaching nerdgames like WoW. Casuals absolutely destroyed this game, sad as it is. They kept whining about how the game is too hard and too demanding, so it became easier and less demanding
PVP games are full of flaming children, that make the entire experience pretty wasted, given that they're also on your team. LoL best example, I actually liked the game, until the beta was over and the community was flooded with angry people and loud children.
But honestly, I probably only hate Zelda so much now, because I used to LOVE Zelda more than anything, before they started releasing one shit game after the next. If it was just a bad game of any name I wouldn't give 2 shits about it. It's like when a band you love becomes shit, like post-1999 In Flames. They might still do OK music, but because I used to love them, it sounds so much worse to me.
