    Can’t agree with the BOTW comment. While there is nice little spots to find and they guide your eye pretty well there’s also just large swathes of empty land in that game too.

    I remember finding a large buried looking castle in the ground and walking around the area to find literally nothing
    No enemies no drops nada

    agreed

    especially the last point

    I think an open world needs spots of empty land though, it makes finding secrets and hidden areas more rewarding. That being said BOTW seriously needed more enemies and random animals/ mobs, I’d argue that was a worse flaw than the boring dungeons. I still loved the open world though, but it did need some touching up. We’ll see what they come up with in the new one

    MIGHT be, and it's all over the last few pages. the game isn't out yet people just randomly talking going off about s*** that we haven't seen yet. it's cool to speculate but some of these arguments make no sense when we've only had one trailer so far

    I agree, but compared to other open world games, botw still has more stuff to uncover and also feels less formulaic

    This might be the first game ever that i'm gonna buy in the first month of releasing, all thanks to Bloodborne

    Nah none of those, i’m sure it’ll be a great game, i think fromsoft wouldn’t be able to make a garbage game even on purpose. My problem with the trailer is how barren everything looks. Other than the castle, there’s really no other cool structures shown, no houses, no cities, nothing cool you can stumble upon while exploring in the wild. The reason why Botw is so good is that there’s things to discover around every corner, you can’t have an open world game where there’s nothing there except for enemies and the occasional dungeon/castle. Npcs, small towns, interesting side quests, i hope the game has stuff like that. I also think the level design might take a hit since they specialize in that but it’s hard to do that in an open world game. Also some of the art design is a step down from Sekiro/DS/Bloodborne.

    bro literally look at the trailer for Bloodborne and look at the areas the game ended up having

    You can't say that based off a trailer

    Honestly thought the Bloodborne trailer looked cooler, i’m not saying this is bad but the trailer didn’t impress me as much as i thought it would. Who knows the game could be incredible, just a reverse ffxv where the trailer actually sucks and the game is lit you know.

    seconded, i'd love for more the 50% open areas to be full of enemies

    i hate having large worlds that are empty or filled with pointless buildings and s*** like gta

    those areas where you can breathe and look around are appreciated tho

    I’ve never been more hyped for a game tbh. Need the rest of this year to fly by

    Low fall damage is a huge incentive for exploration & platforming. Hate it when any game has a protag that can slap dragons or tanks in half & the mf dies from a 20 foot fall.

    Also 30 hour game time appears to be the sweet spot for engaged story genre gameplay.

    Feel like half the people in this thread want this to play out exactly like an open world game and the other half wants this to play out like Dark Souls

    Either way this thread gonna be in shambles when the game actually releases
