Stasis had the momentum thing going on and you could do some wacky stuff with it. And remote bombs had fun interactions too because you could place yourself and then detonate it.
There's barely anything from BOTW that carried over plotwise. It feels like nods to BOTW but it doesnt feel sequelly to me. Did I lose my champion powers from the gloom from Ganon? (Revali's gale please come back) Why is the purah pad a downgrade from the sheikah slate? Did the guardians become the towers? The whole 100 year war seems like an afterthought and it mostly feels like just a new game. And where the hell is my stuff? I wish they just kept my armor in a chest in the house or something.
Gold standard of sequels is a stretch imo. Gameplay, a bit. Plot, definitely not. It's not Arkham City or God of War on plot and carryovers and it aint no Diablo 2 in gameplay improvement.
Sequels don't need to retain the same abilities as the previous games to be a sequel. I'm not sure you've talked to any NPCs at all if you don't think there's no continuity. No gameplay improvements? Are we even talking about the same game?
But hey if the game isn't for you that's fine. There's no need to make things up though lol it's just a game.
When did I say that I didnt like the game? It feels as if youre offended by this opinion and just assuming stuff that isnt even on my comment. Im playing the game right now and im loving it, its just not sequelly enough for me.
