Thanks for the great comparisson video. I am personally contemplating on how to approach my personal favorites in gaming and your videos are a good approach to compare two games, I feel. Just wondering: in terms of a personal view on games, how much do nostalgia and emotional connection towards a game impact your view on it? Would you say it's fine to love a game based of that you simply had a lot of fun with it personally, even if it might be qualitatively not the greatest nowadays?

Ive noticed a lot of people saying they "just couldnt get into the witcher 3 after a few hours and give up". To those people I say, the game doesnt even start til after you leave white orchard which is literally a tutorial area. So pick it back up and give it a real chance. This is one of if not the greatest game ever and you're missing out fr. I say this as someone who also couldnt get into the game at first and now ive beaten it 5x with over 1000 hrs.

[@exterminateccp1642]

I agree. I was actually one of those people, I only played for an hour and I didnt feel the game maybe bec of the controls too, same with botw for the first 5 hours , its kinda boring but then it turned out fantastic. I love rpg and based on the reviews W3 is one of the best, so I just need more playing time, practice.

[@BadEnd98]

@@exterminateccp1642 the details and side stories in TW3 is incredible, like in White Orchard you choose to make a witcher potion to save the girl who got attacked by griffin when going out to meet her lover. I didn't know if she will be saved or not and I forgot about it until later on story, I met a soldier thanked me for saving his lover. Spoil: At the start of the game you already met the final boss of the last DLC, I returned to that point as I remember that I asked that guy before.... and realized he never lied but his words guided me

And i saw a 80 percent discount on steam and i buy it directly, the complete edition one. At that time i still play skyrim special edition mostly with mods. Then i started to play witcher 3 for an hour everyday. Cause i still dont feel it, understand it, dont like it.

It always rubs me the wrong way when people say the lack of music is a bad thing in Breath of The Wild. Clearly those people don't realise the music was toned down on purpose so you can listen to the sounds of...well THE WILD, the clue is in the games name.

[@Gary-tz5qm]

Made In Heaven also the music also represents how link is alone/lost as he explores hyrule

[@SheepShade]

There are moments when this concept works perfectly, but so many scenes fall flat because of the lack of music. Why is there no majestic track when I'm riding across Hyrule field? Why is there no instrument in this game? Music was always an important element of Zelda games, some of them even had their name given in regards to an instrument. I offen enjoy tue minimalistic tunes of BOTW but climbing Hyrule Castle and suddenly enjoying the fantastic track just makes me wish that more areas featured their own songs.

[@painuchiha2694]

Made In Heaven You're right But you can't be mad to zelda fans who hate it Botw needed just a few more heroic bad ass tracks that every other zelda had It was almost always way too calm imo Its not bad,just could have been much more Especially the epic trailer music not being in the actual game...what a shame

[@mrgibbles5427]

Exactly. It also perfectly fits the theme of the game, making breath of the wilds world feel all the more... well, breathtaking. The only thing the soundtrack really needs are more epic and badass music tracks for those epic and badass moments

[@gamersinger5118]

Made In Heaven Yep. It was clearly a design choice and they made the right one. Light ambient music works much better than overpowering orchestral pieces in an open world like that. You can actually feel and hear the wild of the world and just enjoy the subtle sounds of nature. Nintendo knew exactly what they were doing. They usually do.

[@Faint366]

Jason Gooden play it for 60 hours and tell me if you still feel that way. I got so bored by the end because there’s no progression in abilities like in other Zelda games. There’s just weapons with bigger numbers to kill the enemies with bigger numbers.

[@unlimited8410]

@@Faint366 I agree with you, I had a blast for the first half of the game, but then the other half was disappointingly boring since there was no more progression in weapons for me since I was basically endgame by then. There are some balancing issues, like in cooking for example, and a lack of progression systems later on in the game. There is little incentive to use other options of fighting when you already have a whole arsenal of weapons later in the game really destroying that feel of freedom when you can just use weapon to kill enemies, so weapon breakings was actually a good decision to add in imo. Once the progression system fails you realise how empty the other parts of botw are, like the story, dungeons and shrines for example. Hopefully with the sequel they could improve these issues, especially not trolling completionists with korok seeds, but for the first half of the game I would definitely rate it a 9.5/10.

[@cassianpicaro]

What do you mean breaking weapons = what botw lacks? Imagine botw, but without weapon durability? It doesn’t work, it won’t be as good. Weapon breaking is one of the main reasons why we keep on exploring to get better weapons. And that’s also the reason why we sometimes run away from enemies or trying to kill enemies with creative ways like rolling the big boulders or using magnesis. It’s fun. And it helps us get better with other weapons and adapt with changes.

[@Mzee1084]

I haven't played BotW as I don't have a console for the last few generations, but I think weapon durability does add different elements to adapt to. It can be good or bad depending on the game, but sounds like it is a good strategic thing for the BotW. I think the way The Witcher 3 does it works well as repairs provides a good money sink, and weapons can be switched easily as there is no shortage of finding them, and repairing or using a weaker weapon is a good choice to have available.

[@hollywood7128]

The lack of an ability to repair weapons that you really like, I believe, hurt the game. I would explore to find a great weapon and NEVER want to use it because I didn't want it to break, but because of that I never really got to enjoy it. Permabreaking with no option to repair prior to the break penalized the desire to search for great weapons and use them.

[@noah5793]

If the durability was less harsh the it would’ve been great the weapons just break to fast

[@TheAbsol7448]

The issue isn't them being breakable. The issue is them being weak as paper, and there not being a way to craft and repair, and upgrade.

[@andyc6542]

I loved BoTW but didn’t enjoy the weapon durability. Not knowing which weapons to use on which enemies for fear of breaking them and not being able to replace said weapons wasn’t fun for me. And a lot of the time my tactic was using bombs and getting enemies to chase me. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED the game, but this one aspect was the biggest drawback for me (well, maybe the lack of traditional dungeons and variety of dungeon bosses too)

[@rossedwardmiller]

I didn’t play the Witcher 1 or 2, or read any of the books. I didn’t play the past 3 or 4 Zelda games and typically say I “don’t like” the Zelda series. I have about 250 hours invested between these two games. Truly remarkable to win over someone like me who really *shouldn’t* care, but gets sucked in anyway.

[@Thesappysongwriter]

I think I like the Witcher 3 more. A good story just really emotionally satisfies you. I have read the books so it does add more weight, but even then the voice acting and script are so well done. BOTW is not a bad or even good game by any means. It is a great game for different reasons, but it does not have as much emotional depth. I think with BOTW 2 or whatever it may be they can reconcile between these to give both good gameplay and a great heartfelt story.

The element of breaking weapons makes you second guess enemy encounters. Where as in the Witcher you can fight enemy’s more often before having your weapons break and needing repairs.

[@gamersinger5118]

Tigar0411 Arkham In actual ways they can be compared. RPG vs Adventure game. World (Design) - BOTW and it shouldn't even be argued. Story - Subjective. Writing goes to The Witcher 3 though it is worth mentioning that the story of BOTW is optional. The Witcher 3 isn't. Gameplay - BOTW Bosses - Witcher 3 Controls - BOTW Music - Subjective. Use of music probably works better in BOTW's case though being an open world game and all but they are too different to compare. There isn't a whole lot that can be compared between the two games fairly but if we take each into consideration Breath of The Wild ends up being a superior open world action adventure game than The Witcher 3 as an open world action RPG. Since the open world and action aspects are clearly in Breath of The Wild's favor as far as actual game design is concerned. And both do amazing jobs at the last aspect. RPG for TW3. Adventure for BOTW.

[@cesarsantivanez4111]

Two amazing options, so similars and so differents, masterpieces, both deserve to be played

[@lorecumi7141]

I work as a music producer and mixing engineer, so i always listen carefully all music and sound fx in every game I play. For my personal opinion, the music point is going for both the titles because how the music is treated in relation to the story and the gameplay. In Breath of the Wild, I found they’re artistic choice perfect. You have few tracks going on so you’re mostly focusing on the natural environment. But than the music pops up and when it does, it feel so good, so precious, enhancing the moment perfectly, and that’s because the game wake you up from the habit of not to ear it. It serves your senses. In The Witcher 3 the music is used in a more “canon” way, giving every place and situation a clear identity, and the composition level is stunning. Every track is memorable and perfectly placed, just think about how beautifully is riding over the Skeillege Islands... The Witcher world is so stunning also because of this. So, both games use music for serving 100% the purpose of the gameplay, the identity and ofc, the world surrounding the player. And that’s why for me they both deserve the music point!

I'd go with Breath of the Wild, if we're going specifically the Switch versions, because of the Switcher 3's visual downgrades. If we were comparing BOTW against the original Witcher 3, then it would be tighter.

[@Avdimax]

Supposing the drifting issue on switch, as it mostly only occurs to heavy gamers and that it is better play witcher handheld on switch, this game can be very ... very frustrating while looting and travelling times; tho that is not the case about BOTW and Skyrim at all. I finally decided to pick witcher and play it ,after these years of ... digging in Dark souls series, still on switch specifically instead high end pc or ps4 because of portability and personal handheld preference. Notable saying there are some wise visual decisions over character details in dialogue scenes that actually models look pretty nice and close to console standards which helps deliver solid experience.

[@glorious720p_2]

Even on the Switch, I still think Witcher looks better

[@bird0weird0]

I do think you disregarded the fact that BOTW has a ton of secrets. The story might not be good, but one of the things I found so great about it it's the fact that you can only imagine what happened to the dozens of abandoned villages, statues, temple-like structures and so. I think it gives it a different feeling to its own story.

I actually really dislike that about BotW. It takes hardly any effort to just copy/paste a few broken buildings and say “oooooh what happened here? How mysterious! It’s totally just as interesting after we do the same thing 5000 times right?” The fans are the ones putting in the legwork to make those areas interesting because the game doesn’t give us any actual information about them. Ya there are tons of areas to find in BotW, but what can you actually discover? A shrine? A treasure chest with some rock salt inside? Another Knight’s Sword? Cool... Think back to ALttP when you could actually find completely unique items by exploring hard to reach areas. What does BotW have that’s even close to that?

Witcher is far more involved than Zelda. Very much more an RPG, whereas BoTW is more action adventure. To fully appreciate Witcher I feel that you need to fully experience and immerse yourself in the whole story, which means if you have got 100 odd hours spare, you won’t appreciate, whereas Zelda is very much a game you can easily dip in and out of in intervals and go explore the beautiful open world. For the record, have only just started Witcher III on Switch and barely a few hours in - it’s crafted MAGNIFICENTLY from the point of view of a story but can already tell BoTW is more accessible and more fun to play - the joy of Witcher lies in unravelling the story, whereas the joy of BoTW is in the world that’s been crafted to fully explore.

Another interesting category: replay value. While both games will feel different with multiple playthroughs, BotW will only change depending in what you're decide to do first.

The experiences that I had with Witcher 3 and Botw are some that I will never forget. The characters and storyline in Witcher 3 are some of the best ever.. and even the sidequests are so good. Geralt is a great protagonist with personality and choices and moral dilemma. it has been 3 years since I last played Witcher 3, and even now I remember the storylines of some memorable sidequests. Also, the bloody baron storyline is one of the best. Combat is fun too. Whereas in BOTW, the sense of openness that I got from the entire map can't be matched by games 10 times it's size in playable area. It is always fun to experiment in the BOTW physics engine, and I am never bored by the vast nothingness in the maps.. there is so much to do. Every aspect of this game is fun.. even the breakable weapons part. There is something you can always do in BOTW even if you 100% the game

What do you have fun doing in botw? I'm playing it now and trying to have fun but having a hard time. I had most of my enjoyment early in botw in my ANTICIPATION of what might be on top of a mountain in the distance, or on an interestingly shaped island, only to be sorely disappointed when it was another tedious shrine, korok, seed, some fancy but breakable weapon which means I don't want to use it. It just felt so empty,boring and repetitive, and unfinished once the novelty wore off. The map is very beautiful and visually interesting and all that, but the content people are praising wasn't nearly interesting enough for me I guess. I appreciate the open format and lack of hand holding but I think they really need to put more out there to make the exploration worth it.

@@Faint366 So you are gonna act like the Zelda franchise didn't pioneer other open world games, gameplay, exploration, a sense of wonder, creepy dungeons, mediaval/fantasy atmosphere that inspired games that came later on such as the Witcher? Link was riding epona and killing monsters before Geralt was riding roach doing the same lol. I get your point the Witcher is a more complete, deeper game with immersive combat, strategy an engaging story with down to earth realistic fleshed out characters but Zelda was never about that. Zelda is a more simplistic approach to explorations, story telling and world interaction. Both games are fantastic, obviously the witcher wins by default. I made BOTW my bitch after only 25 hours of gameplay I was already abusing lynels and cooking op meals and one shooting guardians something you clearly can't do in the Witcher with even lesser enemies but it's still a blast. I had more fun with Breath of the wild even though is an incomplete game mediocre survival action rpg in comparison with the witcher.

[@Faint366]

Yangel Senpai your entire first paragraph is completely pointless. We’re not talking about which game came first, we’re talking about which one did it *better*. Maybe think for two seconds before making some stupid snarky response next time. I didn’t “act like” zelda didn’t pioneer open world games back in 1986, I’m talking about where the franchise is at NOW. Since when has zelda not been about immersive gameplay and engaging stories? And how is that even an argument? You spend 90% of your comment saying I’m right about literally everything I said and then you act like you won something. Zelda may have been the pioneer during the NES era and the initial jump to 3D, but ever since then the franchise as a whole has been chasing the rest of the industry. Take the “zelda” out of breath of the wild and the game wouldn’t receive half the praise it gets. Breath of the Wild is being hailed as the best game of all time despite the fact that all it did was finally catch up to Skyrim, and arguably it didn’t even do that. Skyrim has a story with engaging characters and dozens of side quests with just as much story if not more than the main quest. Zelda has fetch quests for 20 purple mushrooms. In short: everything I said is still true. The Witcher is a fully developed game with intent and purpose and a fully fleshed out story, breath of the wild is an overhyped tech demo

[@spiderjec]

I don't know why you guys fighting about but even if the witcher 3 is a more complete and bigger game than breath of the wild It's still depends on you as a gamer which one you like more. For me I'm still playing witcher 3 but i usually get bored or sometimes annoyed of to much dialogue and clicking to talk l,, it felt like that's all i do in the game clicking dialogues 70% of the time. Going point A to B then more long cutscenes. So that is why i prefer Breath of the wild not because it was bigger or better but because i like how i can play on my own not too many cutscenes or dialogue that almost never end,, even the cutscenes of the main story is optional.. but that's just me.

[@robertjv]

What I hate most in witcher 3 is that there's a lot of question marks on the map. You can take a look at different stuff to find or fight monsters on these question marks. This is good but however, it gets rid of that exploration and suprise factor to it as the question marks doesn't show up when just running around without having to open up the map to mark the waypoint to these question marks. It could've been done better if they just didn't show the question marks on the map. This way there's that sense of adventure, exploration and rmrandomly finding stuff when just exploring and roaming around randomly

World - Botw i agree with the physics and climbing Story - hands down its witcher 3, botw story is too straight forward Gameplay - botw simply because of the combination of different element like physics, weather and etc in the battle, witcher 3 combat can be repetative especially if you stick to one style like pure sword or pure element Sidequests - witcher 3, no need to explain! Bosses - witcher 3 for variety Controls - botw, complicated but super satisfying. Witcher can be dull when it comes to controls.

Medieval is my favorite setting in video games and in books, but I absolutely cannot force myself to play a single Witcher game more than an hour no matter how hard I try.

They have interesting settings, characters, and stories. They have great music, and gorgeous graphics. They control like a bull in a glass factory, high on meth, with 3 legs, and blind. The inventory system is clunky and frustrating. I end up having to watch people play it to get any real enjoyment from the game, because I find the controls to be such balls that I can't do it. I just can't do it. I play Breath of the Wild for hours just messing around with physics and hunting for things I may have missed, despite it being my 4th play through already.

[@Mr.Foxhat]

I'd rather break a weapon and easily swap to a new one than be forced to constantly go to a smith for a repair. I hated it in Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and it just got worse in Witcher.

[@AnujKumar-em8lv]

I never played any Zelda game before BOTW, and as a switch lite owner i had no expectations from the game either, and goodness i did not even realise when did i hook myself into the wonderful brimming world of Hyrule. I would love to try Witcher someday.

[@leskobrandon8454]

The Witcher 3 has horror, drama, serious romance and smut, action, fantasy, sci-fi and pretty much a little of every genre packed into it. Something for literally ANYBODY that decides to pick it up and try it. BotW has......... Cool physics.. yippee.. Although LoZ is the greatest series of games EVER MADE

[@andyc6542]

You just don’t get it. LoZ games have never been story heavy. The very first LoZ was all about exploring an open map freely and BoTW expands on this ten-fold. If you think the only thing BoTW has going for it is it’s realistic physics you’ve missed the entire point of the game.

These are games, not movies. Gameplay mechanics and physics can't simply be dismissed as something on the side. They're front and centre of what makes a game fun to play.

Great video, I've played 200+ hours on BOTW, and loved it. And yesterday I began The Witcher 3 for my first ever play through. After seeing this video, I'm even more excited to get into it and explore the world of Geralt.

[@CeciliaCessseeezyCornejo]

To this day I listen to the Witcher 3 soundtrack in my car whenever I get tired of the radio haha .. tbh I love both these games so so much and wanted to make a video similar to this because I do love both games very very much but genuinely felt insanely sucked into The Witcher 3 zelda always holds a special place in my heart and I loved Botw but something about Witcher 3 just captivated me - nicely done video comparing the two(:

[@nawalpandey718]

You are wrong about witcher 3 , yes it gives you the option to switch off it's marker but it is not playable in this state. One man in a side quest tells you about where to go by stating location's geography. But when i reach that location. I find that location is completely different from what he says. For example he state that their is a board which tell you where to go but it is not located there.

Joker Tokashi how does botw have better side quests? Have you even played the Witcher 3? The entire gwent quest line? The Witcher contracts? The treasure hunts?

[@jokertokashi6183]

@@harrym2945 I played EVERY SIDE QUESTS trust me, the problem is that almost half of the secondary quest is: talk to someone, go to a place, investigate, kill a monster, take the money, and sometimes it gets very boring. In botw there a shrines, and the sidequests are more various.

[@harrym2945]

Joker Tokashi the side quests in botw have absolutely no incentive to complete them, the reward you get for getting korok seeds and completing shrines is pointless after you’ve completed the game, and I forgot to mention the fist fight quests are also a thing in the Witcher 3

I agree with every category other than music , the music makes the world so much more immersive for me

[@ianmurphy2381]

I tried witcher 3 back when it came out on pc. Beeing use to skyrim...i quit playing it about 2 days later. Yesterday i bought it on the switch and gave it a second time because i hear everywhere thats its between the best games ever made. Im playing the hardest dificulty and taking my time while i enjoy the combat and best story quality i have ever seen in a video game. Forgive me project red for not giving the game a chance when it came out. I regret it.

[@wandywan2444]

Yeah bro witcher 3 is great game,the music the story is good but lack of control,and witcher dlc is really good,it takes around 24hrs+ to finish it..heart of stone really have good stories

[@kevinchavarria6792]

Try playing it on the PC instead, in my opinion as a first timer you will get the best experience on a PC, the switch is great during those handheld moments thou

[@carlos412]

I love both games, and now with Totk, these are my most played games on the switch. I only recently got the witcher 3 this march, after playing botw for almost 2 years, I got it a lot later than most people, in 2021. And the witcher 3 was everything that I was expecting, I had wanted for so long a medieval game, and this was exactly it. I love the story, I love how alive the world is, the fact that every single character has voice acting and dialogue, not only main characters but also pedestrians, shopkeepers etc, makes the game incredibly immersive. The fact that every dialogue choice will impact the story is insane, one dialogue choice can end with characters dying later on, that is fascinating. The side quests are amazing, I love the monster contracts, every single one is like a little detective adventure and I love it. Botw lacks all of this for the most part, there are a few good side quests but most of them are really short and super easy, and most are a variant of the same thing, like getting something specific, in the witcher every side quest and contract has its own fleshed out story. Botw is better than witcher 3 in other aspects, like combat. I definitely enjoy the combat more in botw, flurry rush is so satisfying, spinning with a two-handed weapon too, you can freeze, burn or electrocute enemies, it is just a more fun experience in that aspect. And the physics are just insane, you can feel the weight of things and the world is much more interactive than in the witcher, you can climb, cut down trees, pick up rocks etc.

[@stevenearley8227]

I know I’m probably alone on this one, but I’ve never been a huge Nintendo fan. I actually went as far as to say that Nintendo only makes game’s for children. That being said the Nintendo switch lite was released last month for a really low price, so I got one just to say I had one. I picked up legend of Zelda BOTW, I judged the game heavily before I ever played it. Turns out it is easily in my top 5 list for best games. I’ve sunk nearly a hundred hours into it and still finding more stuff to do everyday. I remember when the Witcher 3 came out on ps4 I got it because it looked incredible. To my surprise I was very disappointed with how it played. The moving & combat Mechanics are absolutely terrible & the story is truly a bore. I played for maybe 10 hours before I finally gave up on it. I just bought the switch version hoping that I’ve matured and I’m ready to give it a second try. I’ve gotten much further in the game, I’ve learned how to craft items & ive gotten much better at combat. That being said, I still think the game is highly overrated. I will finish it because of the ridiculous $60 price for it, but this game is no where as good as BOTW. But that’s my opinion.

[@thelegendgamer33]

I totally agree. At least with what you said about the Witcher. I just find the story so boring, but it's not because of my lack of maturity. I've enjoyed some of the most complex themes in games and cinema and I love the added psychological or philosophical depth that some of them add I just think the story about finding his adopted daughter and the whole Wild Hunt thing sucks. That and I find RPGs just dump so much stuff on you and most of it isn't that well designed its just a quantity over quality thing. That's why I loved Breath or the Wild it's surprisingly deep while being still very accessible and having a very casual but engaging premise to it. It's really not all that deep but it is more so than it first appears.

[@BenjaminHari]

Man I'm torn between these two...I like the playstyle, physics and simplicity in Zelda but I also like the story, challenge and making your own story in Witcher. To be honest no matter which one I choose I'll be busy for quite a while before I'll able to afford to buy the other one as well lol

[@jabez36]

Witcher made me tear up in the end. Working on BOTW kind of realizing that I'm not into the cartoonishness of it. It's also kind of frustrating that there isn't much guidance in this game. I was new to the world of witcher too when I came into it but the introduction to the world was much more effective.

[@willquinndeb]

I have been playing BOTW for years I love that game and have been playing Witcher three for the last three months and cannot constantly play it cause frankly it annoys me... I will finish it I payed for the damn thing.. and its two extensions but I bought master mode in BOTW and never looked back.. yeah you can finish this and finish that but there are always new skills to learn (part of the skill of the game is knowing when to throw your weapon and use a new one it is not a downfall it is an adventure) and things to try .. I am not a huge "yeah let's read a novel " kind of game player. I want to get in have fun and enjoy. I have been hitting all the side quests on witcher 3 and so far the game is not challenging but maybe as it goes along it does... to me it is following your normal online, upgrade and conquer way of it. I am waiting for next Zelda to come out and have heard mixed things so trying to not get too pumped up, I will finish witcher but Zelda is my winner.

[@alexvswrld]

How far along in the story are you in The Witcher? I felt the same way, played it here and there for many months but it felt like a chore...but I kept playing because something about the world was fascinating to me, a mix of the music and the beautiful sunsets, and certain characters. Now I really love the game and I'm glad I took a chance. I still haven't played BOTW though, but that's next on my list.
