TalkBack / Re: Why Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a Failure to the Zelda Franchise

Genuinely terrible article here. Having some odd opinions would be fair game, but there's clearly active malice here. Players who actually enjoy this game are bashed over and over or looked down up as having 'blinders' or something, and stuff like "feels like a rushed project by a college student" is just embarrassingly hyperbolic for a game with clear tons of development effort poured into it. talk about spitting in the face of the devs that put their hearts into this stuff.
And then you have the opinions themselves... many of which are unfounded, altogether wrong or simply have misinformation filled into them.
Like I love how you spent multiple paragraphs going "the game forces you on a wild goose chase with the koroks" when...the game never does that, and in fact you're actively discouraged from ever trying to find them because there's literally no point to doing so. the koroks are so large in number because they wanted players to find many of them regardless of which direction they went. not to actually try collecting them. And you will never ever need that level of inventory space or even half of it.
It's almost like the fact that there's no real way to intentionally find them easily was itself something they did on purpose so you wouldn't do so.
I dunno how you can write a whole article and not even understand like basic-tier game design. "No im a completionist, i have to get all the things even though the game is so far removed from encouraging me to do it that it literally gives me a piece of poop as a reward for it".
