i think what rubs me the wrong way about totk the more i play it is the fact that the game actively encourages a completionist playstyle (esp in comparison to botw) even though playing it in that way is absolutely a miserable experience

#like the game is really fun if youre just fucking around doing whatever you want #but for some reason the devs were like 'hmm what if we gave the players some side quests & objectives that are literal checklists'#like oh you want the froggy armor? do every single stable quest #or the quest that has you finding every well #or that one npc that literally TELLS you to get every single frog gem like. why #imagine if hestu told you to find every korok seed it would be so shit #and yet somehow they do that with other things for literally no fucking reason #or the DRAGON GRINDING for armor upgrades holy fuck thats actually hot garbage #i literally looked up how to do item duping specifically for that bc fuck that #major parts of this game just straight up dont respect the players time #i like cant figure out why its this way?? like it feels like gameplay padding #it just sucks bc there are so many things i love abt the game but then theres shit like this #& also the terrible UI and the terrible controls and the terrible combat #and its just like. in botw i didnt mind that bc it was a new game #but they seriously couldnt fix any of that stuff for the sequel?#just copy pasted it like 'eh this is good! who cares'#well the UI has some improvements but it also has some steps back so really its a net zero #really this is just reminding me how much i loved subnautica and how much id rather be playing that again which is. hm
