I loved BoTW and it's an all time best designed game for sure.

But it's not even in the same league as the witcher 3.

In fact, it's hard to compare the games honestly. I know they are both open world horse rpg's but BoTW is almost like a desolate, lonely, choose your own path type game with hardly any direction or story, empty map, like plopping you into Hyrule and saying "figure it out"

The Witcher 3 has an enormous amount of content and a fully fleshed out world that is almost intimidating, holds your hand through every stage with markers and waypoints, loads of dialog and story, branching paths, and is very dark and brooding. But it's certainly a story driven experience loaded with lore.

Both are great in their own right but like a poster said above they really are apples and oranges.

The next Zelda game on the BoTW engine is set to be epic.

No B sides.

Can not recall a single time where I felt like something was filler. Even after all the gear collection and 150+ hrs, the game still amazes me. How can you do such a good job when the game is that large. CD Project Red really have their shtt together. Any other dev would take a team much larger than that and still not deliver close the quality of W3.

this is what I said...though this is better articulated.

not same type of game. it's weird how an all time great movie or an all time great game gives you that indescribable sensation while watching/playing it. BOTW is one of those rare games and besides my late in life discovery of Metroid prime is the only game to do that trick for me since I was a teenager. Mario galaxy and Arkham asylum both came close.

sounds like witcher was for a shite ton of people.
