When it's all said and done

Which will be remembered as the better Open World game?
>>
Skrim.

Zelda will be like babbys first The Witcher.
>>
Skyrim is generic and repettive. All the weapons are just the same things with different stats. Dungeons are devoid of any design or puzzles.

Zelda is much better in almost every way

Please elaborate.

As a PC gamer exclusively, Breath Of The Wild is going to make Skyrim look like the piece of shit it truly is.

The new Zelda is mixing all the best features of all the games of the past 5 years, and it's doing it shamelessly, and it looks fucking great.
>>
>>341531381

Zelda is generic and repetitive you mean. The world looks like something out of a Steam early access survival game. Lore/story is pretty much the same: kill ganon and rescue zelda
>>
>>341530426
Skyrim will be remembered for the massive mammaries mods and the paid mods shit, not for being an open world game.
>>
Zelda.

I clocked 100 hours in Skyrim but Zelda looks way more polished. I loved the way the dragonborn conquered the mountains but link is actually climbing.
>>
>>341531731
Better dungeons, more original items, more enemy variety.

Skyrims dungeons are just generic caves with hordes of generic enemies
>>
>>341530426
I want Morrowind back.

>>341531905
I didn't played zelda but that sounds better than skyrim.

100 hours isn't even enough time to get halfway through one playthrough.

>Which will be remembered as the better Open World game?

Skyrim will always be remembered as the better open world game. Isn't it obvious? You can't compared a multiplatform AAA game to a console exc. game that a few people will play.
>>
Skyrim rode the LoTR movie fad wave to get like 10+ million sales from normalfags and pseudo-nerds, TES fans probably make up 10% of those sales at most. Zelda, if we're gauging it with Splatoon-like optimism in mind, will be lucky to hit five million million on Wii U/NX combined, the series has nosedived into irrelevance.

So naturally Skyrim will be remembered and praised far more than BoTW.

Who fucking knows? The Zelda game hasn't been released yet.
>>
Zelda will be better but Skyrim's influence on Zelda is very plain to see, even the devs admitted to it.

Influential games are remembered more than good games.

skyrim is a terrible game but it has mods so people can throw in porn and shit. the answer is obvious.

Why did Zelda take so many things from Skyrim of all places?

Calm your autism. More than 90% of original TES fans liked Skyrim.
>>
Skyrim will be remembered fondly by everyone not on /v/ because for some reason everyone outside of here just ignores it's massive flaws and spews buzzwords like "this game is so alive!"

Zelda might not be the greatest open world game ever but I doubt it will be as bad as Skyrim.
>>
>>341532472
Also that Zelda is stuck to one console while Skyrim has PC, Xbox, and PS

I think Skyrim will be somewhat above Zelda, but only because Bethesda has a lot more experience making these kinds of games where this is a first for Nintendo and the Zelda franchise.
If they continue along with this style for future games, I'm certain they will make some arguably better titles.

Skyrim was pretty awful to me. I really don't get Bethesda games at all. That said I liked it more than oblivion or fallout 3 and nv. haven't played 4.
My greatest fear is that Breath will be as good as Skyrim

It's not historically accurate. If you read a history book you'll see that Hyrule clearly didn't have that technology in that time frame.

Idunno. Zelda because more people know that franchise than they do with Elder Scrolls?

Skyrim will be remembered as a meme porn modding sandbox unfortunately

The overworld is comfy as fuck

Well Skyrim is a fucking terrible game by any measure so I say BotW wins by default.

Seriously if you like Skyrim and god forbid you're one of the faggots who still plays it to this day with like a thousand mods, just kill yourself. That game is concentrated dogshit and so are its fans.

Skyrim to me feels like a bunch of characters scripted on top of a world.

I never found it to be that exciting. Fun to mod.

Did you even watch the stream?
They literally said they removed most towns and npc's for the demo version to prevent early spoilers. This idea of it being "empty" is null at the moment. The actual trailer shows some towns and some npc's in the bg too.

>archery that allows you to slow time with your bow drawn
Actually, if you press the dodge/jump button at the correct moment, it'll do the slow motion sequence.

>a bunch of generic boring weapons that are totally interchangeable with one another

Again, each of them have different durability limits, and I'm sure different effects as well. We saw you can use Skeleton arms, tree branches, torches, swords, clubs, bows, bombs, pots, anything that's metal (using the magnet power), claymores, two handed swords, axes, spears, even the firerod is making a comeback. And that's all in the demo. In the trailer, there's a unique curved sword that's obtainable, I'm sure you could get a hookshot (or an equivalent) and a boomerang.

>setting contains out of place ancient technology
It seems out of place, sure. But maybe it was someone or something who created these beings? SS even had that desert area with those Time Crystals.

>half-assed physics engine
>retarded-looking ragdolling

I really don't think this game is actively trying to be realistic in any way. You can fucking snowboard on a sheild and even fight a living rock golem.


"Oh no, BotW finally entered an Open-World genre! Don't let it take inspiration from other existing, successful games and improve upon what didn't make those games work! *cough*WitcherDogmaSkyrimFallout*cough*"

Depends on what they are looking for.
do they want a class system? well thats skyrim
Do they want graphics and HBO story? Witcher 3
Do they want Puzzles and mountain climbing? Zelda
>>
>>341537570
What about Zelda vs. RDR

skyrim is shit but its literally impossible for a console-exclusive game to win vs skyrim on multiplatform and especially with mods mixed in.
>>
>>341532456

I defeated alduin, became the archmage became the master asassin, rejected the dragon chick, became a werewolf and fought with the stormcloacks.

I never played the DLC because it released after I stopped playing.
>>
>>341531051
It won't be remotely similar to the Witcher at all beyond having magic and weapons.
>>
>>341542740
True, Character customizer would be better

yes it is. are you literally retarded?

It's literally cartoony Wticher 3 though with dumbed down menus.

Zelda will be better.

Skyrim has gay sex mods and bara body mods.

It's a very tough choice, OP.
