I agree that the two aren't mutually exclusive, but that doesn't change the rational inconsistency of feeling strongly enough about it to rant on the internet and then buying the game anyway. One can be well articulated and still be full of rationally inconsistent bs -- look at politics.

There is a case to be made that some games are so incredibly influential, that they carried a year on their own. Think the year Tetris was released or the year Minecraft was released.

That being said, we have 2004, which had WoW and GTA San Andreas, both of which are up there for the most influential games of all time. Pair that with a few other gems like KOTOR II, and I think that year should take the cake.

They could have given us a whole new map. They could have given us the entirety of the old one, and 50% more to explore.

There's a lot you can expect, when they expect us to be paying the same price for the sequel as we did for the original. Yet they feel they can put less work in.

I remember when people would finish their quest in the yeti lair then just sprint out aground s bunch of yetis. Eventually they would aggro leash, but then all aggro to whoever was still around and likely kill them. This was before they made changes to aggro

I was ready to buy a switch just to play this game, and then I saw the map.

Despite not liking the new art direction that Zelda has taken, and hating weapon durability, I still wanted to give it a chance. But if they're going to release a sequel without even giving us a new map, that's a joke.

On top of that, the music was a major part of what made zelda so great for me, and ever since skyward sword, its just been massively downhill. There were a few great songs in skyward sword, but only a single memorable song in BOTW.

It's not even the same game anymore, and it's not a good thing. I wish they would have just made a new IP for this shit, and continued to make more traditional zelda titles.

2017 was crazy. It's very recent so you cant look back to it and go wow look at those classics. But the sheer quantity of quality games is unrivaled.

RE 7, Nioh, Horizen zero dawn, nier automata, destiny 2, prey, injustice 2, assassin creed origins, uncharted lost legacy, wolfenstein 2, sonic mania, evil within 2, cuphead, Zelda BotW, little nightmares, Hellblade, Samus returns, Mario Odyssey, what remains of Edith finch, for honor, divinity original sin 2, a hat in time, total war Warhammer 2, Xcom 2: War of the chosen DLC, crash bandicoot trilogy, sniper elite 4, Dishonored death of the outsider, xenoblade chronicles 2.

How do you even compete with this many quality games?

I played the game in one hit over 7 days in stream and don’t remember nothing about the map. So I’m wondering if there are others like me who just won’t be so…. Let down? Like played the first only a few times or just clocked it once and put it down.

But I get it most are probably very experienced with the game. In a way it sounds like what you said is better lobbed at Blizzard for being like the market leader at reusing maps in new games/expansions and getting away with it.
