TotK sucked. Just like breath of the wild. They took what made Zelda great. And ruined it with open world bullshit and weapon micromanagement.

My point isn't that, but how unanimous BG3 was. If you look at other years, there were still some juries that prefer one over the other, but not with BG3.

Oh I know. I just hate what they’ve done to Zelda. Lol

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

Lol, I have the exact opposite opinion. BotW took what made Zelda frustrating (annoyingly linear, samey, and poorly-explained) and gave you a whole world filled with puzzles and exploration!

Tell me you haven't played the original Legend of Zelda without saying you haven't played the original Legend of Zelda.

BOTW/TOTK are more like the very first Zelda game than any other Zelda titles.

Just like BG3 really isn't all that different from BG1 and 2. Everyone so blown away by it saying it raised the bar must be young as fuck, because it didn't raise the bar. It just put it back where it was in the 90's after it fell off the post. That isn't to say it's not great or deserving of GOTY over TOTK, though. Ideally, they both would win for different reasons.

I have played the original and loved it. Doesn’t change the fact botw is open world slop imo. Lol
