i do like breathe of the wild, but i also want to complain about it at every opportunity bc it's evil

accidentally brute forcing the molduga fight in botw bc i did gerudo desert last and was deeply overleveled, is like a foundational experience towards my open world fatigue

#botw's combat isnt like. varied enough to be fun #but it still has enough puzzle play to it #that the way it becomes exponentially easier the higher level youre gear is is like #i get that this is the appeal for a lot of ppl #(and im not above using invincibilty cheats lol)#but its like. i would like to experience the design not two hit kill the final boss on my fitst try?

idk man sometimes i like it when video game writers are allowed to plan a series of events that happen in a specific order and affect each other in turn to become an overarching narrative, and i don’t mind trusting those writers to take me through those events in the order that is emotionally effective. i don’t really care if a game forces me to go through the forest area first before i can attempt the icy area because maybe there’s things that happen in the forest area that inform later scenes in the icy area. maybe we don't need more superficial player choice open world concepts if it comes at the cost of the ability to write a story with actual significant plot events and character development in each section

#+ its cool when the design can build off itself linearly
