So I guess this doubles as my introduction, hi guys and gals nice to meetcha
So I've used the main site for a while now and didn't realize there was a forum until like three days ago. And I was actually pretty shocked that there seems to be quite a few people here that aren't too crazy about Tears of the Kingdom. That was a little surprising because I've pretty much just seen universal praise everywhere, from YouTube to Nintendo Life to Reddit. That's not a bad thing either, because even though I haven't beaten it yet, I've found myself just kind of whelmed with it so far you know? Seeing other people's reason for not being super into it made me think about my own reason and I wanted to see if that resonated with anyone else.
I loved Breath of the Wild when it first came out, literally played it all through high school and college and never really stopped. I was super hyped for Tears just like everyone else, but I found myself getting burnt out with Tears. Which never, even happened with Breath. I think the reason may be that, for a lot of things, Tears is just way too similar. From knowing that the opening island will pretty much just be like the Great Plateau in structure, to there of course being four big things to take care of in the overworld before the last big thing, to finding special spot that unlock memories. It just all felt too similar for me to be super into it.
And I get it, the physics and abilities are different and there's the sky and underground. But the presentation, sounds, and general vibe was just so samey for me. I wonder if this is how people felt when Majora's Mask came out, because I didn't really anticipate it myself. I think maybe this feeling of "I already did this for like over 100 hours" is ultimately what's made me not automatically fall in love with the game like I did with Breath.
But I've chatted enough, anyone else feel the same? Just curious :*
