Across the hundreds of hours and multiple playthroughs, I'm still finding new areas that I never knew existed. In my last playthrough, I discovered several Bokoblin camps that I never knew existed. That might not sound like something to be excited about, but it just goes to show that there is always something new to see in BotW.

Flame weapons when selected keeps you warm. ice weapons keep you cool

[@empatheticrambo4890]

I feel this way, except about Mario Odyssey. It made me feel incredible feelings

[@chambeet]

They’re both great games. Have you played Breath of the Wild?

[@empatheticrambo4890]

@@chambeet yes, though I fear that because I’d played a couple other weaker open world games, some of the joy was lost. But it was a blast

[@chambeet]

@@empatheticrambo4890 Yeah, different types of games for sure, although I appreciate that in its own way, Mario Odyssey is a kind of open-world game with tons to explore in its own right.

Hi, it's me, that one weirdo who thought BotW was the most boring game I played that year.
Not sure why, either.
Art direction was great, controlled like a dream, well designed and well executed.
I think that either I'm dead inside or I just hate fun.

[@SaraphDarklaw]

Not everything is for everyone. I thought the last of us was boring and never finished it. But dragons dogma got average scores and I played it for hundreds of hours.

[@jimmyryan5880]

I loved it but thinking back I always had my own music or CZcams videos on. A lot of it is a little dull

[@shelliblossom8953]

I have a really short attention span so I didnt think I would like it but it has just enough directions to keep me from getting bored maybe your like me but a little hard to stay hooked

[@kingdaniel3519]

Don't be discouraged. As good as it is, it still has its flaws. Just don't give up on the series. Nintendo tries something new with each game.

[@PraetorPaktu]

I find the game good.

[@AndrewD8Red]

Thumbs Up for Kiith Paktu and now I want to go and play Homeworld again.
Or maybe Deserts Of Kharak.
...
Or maybe *both*

[@PraetorPaktu]

@@AndrewD8Red They are both fun. Nice

[@TheMysteryDriver]

It's ok. No voice acting, end game still has Gannon there instead of actually making the world change. Little too repetitive. Not enough fast travel points. DLC motorcycle not being available until the game is over makes it kind of useless.

[@kingdaniel3519]

There's 140 fast travel points. How many more do you need? You can unlock the motorcycle at any time after freeing the Divine Beasts. You don't have to wait till the end of the game to complete the DLC to acquire it.

[@TheMysteryDriver]

@@kingdaniel3519 you've basically covered the map and beaten the game after the devine beasts.
Better locations. There's long stretches between them in a lot of places.

[@kingdaniel3519]

@@TheMysteryDriver Sure, if you ignore everything else and just blast through it. However, you could conquer all four beasts before you ever get close to the Master Sword. I don't know about anyone else, but I consider recovering the MS to basically be the half-way point in the game. I don't think you're giving the game enough credit.

[@TheMysteryDriver]

@@kingdaniel3519 you can also get the master sword pretty early. It's an ok game with badly thought out dlc.

[@kingdaniel3519]

@@TheMysteryDriver I still disagree. I think the DLC was fairly balanced and enhanced the game quite well.
