it's still INSANE how much stuff you can do in breath of the wild in terms of different objects' physical properties interacting with each other and the environment
@@tangiblemammal5273 same here, but two days ago I decided to pick up the game again and give it another chance. Well I'm glad I did because I am enjoying it way more now!
@@roebloxy9986 idk that game to me ages well. It’s very advance with the animation plus the cell shading is simple but enjoyable. Then again wind waker is one of my favorites
For me, BoTW felt more down to earth with Immortals being more high energy. Considering that Immortals is more of a hack and slash game, this makes sense. BoTW was less about combat and more about roaming and adventure.
Yes finally someone put it into words I love botw's sense of exploration and adventure as well as being able to just sit back and relax enjoying the environment. With fenyx immortals rising the combat in sense of power progression felt a whole lot better than just pressing one button as well using the God powers with combos and God blessings you get.
@@yami7754 Botw may not be your cup of tea, cool, but it's certainly not trash. I got really annoyed playing Red Dead 2 a lot and dropped it after 20 hours but i know it's also quite the opposite of a trash game. I just haven't had the right mindset for the mechanics and a story driven game at the time. Have you ever put effort in creating anything unique or creative in your life? Seriously, what about Botw is actually trash to you, that can't be traced back to personal preferences/impatience/lack of creativity/inability to use any of the many different ways to overcome the limitation the game throws at the player? Maybe I have missed something .... But I don't think it's like Cyberpunk 2077, a good and enjoyable game riddled with some trash in between.
@@davidk.8686 immortals fenix story, combat, the entire game is a masterpiece. Every Zelda game is the same, botw yes it’s open world and both games are similar, but I’m not talking about graphics or judging the combat, I’m judging it on that same shitty repetitive storyline. It’s like every mario game stale storyline
@@yami7754 bruh tf are you talking about immortals fenyx rising def deserve to be called a masterpiece but it story wasn't that good at all it was the same predictable hero's journey everyone has seen in action adventure games and movies, every zelda game if you simplify to the bare minimum as defeat evil guy and save the world/princess. Disregards what makes all the games unique; settings, backstory, characters and world building that each game offers in the series, But thats my opinion you do you man
Games have been taking from other games since forever, doom makes a fps and now they're everywhere, assassin's creed popularises free running and city climbing freedom and loads of open world games have this feature now... to have someone take inspiration from one of your games in my opinion is the greatest flattery as your creation has led to other creations.
@@stuartjohnson6704 that’s how you expand and increase the genre and style of the game. People don’t realize that almost all games do this and there is little room for originality
@@greatgamer2000 precisely, im excited to see what the future holds now developers are understanding less is more, by approaching a game with a simpler design they have more room for gameplay mechanics, more fluid combat and better handling without the game struggling to render the worlds smallest pebble... I am curious if some currently unknown studio spots something in this game that is that something theirs was missing and put it in... I have little care who the best developer's are wheather its a triple A or not, all I want is a good game worthy of my limited time, only the other week I was playing outward with great examples of fun and originally and hardly anyones heard of it.
I've played both and love both games. I have about 400+ hours in BOTW and about 40 in Immortals....They're both great but BOTW is a masterpiece while immortals is more of a game that needs about another 3 to 4 years of heavy development to get to BOTW caliber...But still great game. I like immortals WAAAY more than genshin impact though...That game is repetitive and boring to me.
@@Krackalacking69 I compare the two so people who want to try them ( because it appeals to similar niche sector in gaming community ) can know an opinion about it. Who cares that it's not done? It's out and available and they are taking money big time so it's fair game.
I love how he talks about hidden game mechanics is breath of the wild and completely misses the parry mechanic which is actually tutorialised in the game!
@@grapeape888 If you raise the shield with lock-on, pull backwards on the joystick away from the foe, and push X (the jump button), Link will do a backflip.
Also completely untrue, you can skip the that shrine until its the last one, its there and you its a little heavy hand but it doesn't force I down your throat it encourages you subtly
It really comes down to personal preference, I’m just glad that botw has set a new standard for open world games to allow games, such as Fenyx rising to be more suited to people like you
@Nikhil Nair This IP could really be what they need. Imagine if the next game has you help Egyptian Gods or something. It has so much potential. I wish they really do something good with it.
Fenix Rising is a new IP. Rider’s Republic is a new IP. Steep has only had one sequel. Same with The Division. For Honor was a new IP last gen. It’s possible to have series and new IPs. Ubisoft is pretty good at doing both. Also, the season pass introduces a new hero and pantheon - Chinese.
@@haruyoshida2338 idk, I'm pretty sure that it can keep being unique and keep it's identity even after changing themes. since that's what it looks like they're gonna do. they won't keep it Greek, sadly. anyway, if it gets worse, I just won't buy the sequel. so far, I love the game though.
As someone who didnt like BoTW as a Zelda game (it's a good open world game though), and doesn't want to play another AC Odyssey, is Immortals something I would enjoy?
Most of Nick's comments were about its chosen aesthetic, which will not change regardless of hardware (even on PC emulation it takes modding the game's color grading and lighting to alter it). Its low contrast, earthen toned look is the design intent.
It's a miracle it was released on WiiU so we can enjoy it on PC with Cemu. I can't imagine playing this masterpiece 720p 30fps. When you unlock his potencial it truly doesn't have technical flaws, everything simplistic about the graphics can be seen as an artistic choice.
The art style in Breath of The Wild is heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli films, so if it was released on a more powerful hardware, it would still maintain its color palette and lighting.
Most people dont talk about sound, I dont know why. Either because of copyright or because their usually less elaborate on by the game makers. Ie. Its atmospheric and you dont knowtice it as easy
@@TheSylar1982 honestly never played either but from the looks immortals looks way more colorful and the grass looks really nice but I’m sure both games are great
@@eliaskuhnert5768 its not I actually listen to actual gamers and not critic and everyone who has played immortals has given it an 80-90% the lowest score ive ever seen for it was a 7.5
@@apeblackberry3641 And agreed, once I obtained BOTW and having played Ocarina being one of the first I've ever played "Think I was 1.5 - Too 2 around then" First time I played it ngl... I had tears of joy coming out of that Sheikah tomb.
The soundtrack of Immortals is beautiful actually. I'm not saying BOTW's is bad, there were some great tracks, but I didn't like the overemphasis on piano.
Didn't realize how much I love that the horse sounds so heavy when it gallops in BotW! Makes it feel more like a large creature you tamed, and less like a pet you adopted~
The art style for Botw is amazing, it's pulls you in but doesn't cause havok on your eyes. You think that you'll get a quick 30 mins in , and then you're still playing 3 hours later.
@@DmanDice yup. Immortals Fenyx Rising on the Nintendo switch look terrible compared to BOTW also. I wish the maker of this video would have atleast only stuck to 1080p high setting and not crank everything to Very high. To get a computer of that power just to play that game would cost alot more than a switch
Inmortals is even better than TOTK, Inmortals has SUPERB narration, better music, better VOs, better story, weapons don't break, cooler equipment and mounts, should I continue?? And Typoon cooks Ganondorf for lunch!
@@benyuri14 Personally I think the color scheme fits the somber feel of the game once you learn some of the story, especially even when just in the plateau. Fenyx I feel appeals more to a more wide audience than botw because of its rich colors and art style, it also doesn't have a "sad" story to it from what I've gathered. I feel as though even both are similar in gameplay mechanics, they are both completely different games in terms of story and mechanics.
@@ismaelrangel9536 Certain aspects of Immortals are better, but Zelda definitely provides a much more lived in world. Ironic since Hyrule is supposed to be more post apocalyptic in BoTW, while the Golden Isle is in the middle of the apocalypse where it should be more lively.
I've played both and they're both good games! Very different from each other despite having similar visuals and gameplay. But I can definitely say that nothing compares to BOTW. It's a really special game made with tender care and love from its developers.
@@cabbageleon4914 You are a fan boi of Nintendo. Nintendo is the greediest company I have ever seen. I say that Ubisoft and EA are good in comparison of Nintendo.
@@cabbageleon4914 What about the other things. You like BOTW but its price has never dropped. You are supporting the greediest company by buying overpriced games with bad graphics. 60$ for a game with 2010s graphics.
I think they are both great. I liked the comparison video because it was top notch, but in the end, i see them as two different games with similarities that don't take away from the immense enjoyment they are to play. They are both a win for gamers.
BOTW is an amazing game, but I prefer Immortals Fenyx Rising ! The gameplay, the puzzles, the narration, the humour ! And the ambiant of Ancient Greece. I fell in love with IFR.
I feel that at the moment, immortals looks better, but it'll be forgotten in a at most a year compared to zelda were people are still talking about older zelda games 20 years later. Also immortals' horses look so stiff and unnatural
they definitely do look stiff hey? and their stride is very short, not long and graceful like a real horse. But after riding them a lot in the game, they control much better than the horses in botw. they jump off rocks and even small cliffs with ease and just all-around feel much smoother to control
That's simply because nintendo fans will keep rebuying old nintendo games that they know the fans will keep buying. Mario for instance. Nothing innovative in years but the community goes crazy for it just cause it's Mario. Same applies here. If botw didn't have the title Zelda, it wouldn't be as popular and talked about. It's just facts. The Fandom can be toxic but it's understandable.
@@vergeofwill ironic that you're saying this when the other company is UBI(copy&paste)SOFT. The only unique game they haven't immediately released identical sequels to in the past 10 years is probably rainbow6siege. Btw I'm not defending Nintendo here. Everything you said about them is spot on. And I've never owned a Nintendo console. I have played almost every Ubisoft game in the past decade tho
@M Aditya Permana everyone and their mothers have. You kidding? It's nintendo. That's like saying someone hasn't played mortal kombat. Everyone has lmao
What irritates me most is that Zelda will be praised for these aspects while every other game will be criticized for them. Ubisoft did not adopt BOTW design its the literal opposite kiddo.
Immortals is miles better. I like that the map is more vibrant than BOTW, I also really like that weapons don't break. It's just a way easier game. BOTW is a bit of a weird game. It tries to do something, but doesn't do it well. Weapons break, but not gear. And stamina doesn't last nearly as long as it should. Who gets tired after running for 20 meters. As a smoker I can easily do 1km without issues. Now sure, you can spend orbs to get more stamina, which makes zero sense. They should've binded it to experience instead, as in when you run, you slowly increase your stamina.
@Let Love Fly Free Draw distance is a completely different thing from the field of view. Field of view is how far pulled back the camera is which expands how much of the screen you can see at once. Draw distance is how far objects and detail are loaded into the world which affects how far away those details and objects remain depending on your distance from them. Draw distance is one thing that is improving drastically this generation due to the fast SSD storage and more video memory to load a lot more detail at once so there is no need to restrict draw distance as much.
Breath of the wilds simplicity actually makes it seem much more creative for the players, while a lot of the features in Fenyx Rising are just rpg tropes they put into a BotW like world
Tbh I liked immortals for the extra variety in the puzzles. They have you playing pong, golf and many gladiatorial arena fights! Also the world feeling less alive is kinda the point. Literally every other human has been turned to stone, and doesn't come back. Your only company is your enemies.
I honestly think they're the same in quality. The two games have made immense success, and although Breath of the Wild has a shellshaded, anime look, Immortals' humour and story really interests me, and allows difficulties to enhance your experience. Breath of the Wild is like finding loads of ingredients for a taco and finding something new, while Immortals offers all the perfect ingredients and you make a 5 star recipe. Long story short, if you look to work hard, explore and have a long gameplay experience, Breath of the Wild is for you. if you look to have a challenge and good equipment to attempt to overcome it, Immortals is your gameplay persona.
My only major issue with Immortals is how much more dead the world feels compared to BoTW. No villages, or that many notable NPCS. Just a bunch of enemies near certain chests and buildings.
ShurikenBoy3000 They are not. Nintendo is far more competent in their video game design sense in comparison to Ubisoft. But it is still a fun if not frustrating experience of a game.
@@Mr.Foxhat plus he barely even covered anything in ifr especially the combat, story quests. also dont come at me trying to correct me cos u prob havent even played ifr (but everyone can have their own opinions so yh i guess)
Bruh you smoking on that nostalgia, im playing on the PS5 and it looks amazing. I have 200 hours on BOTW and its one of my favorite games but there's no reason to hate on Fenyx, I thought it was a pleasant surprise in 2020 and had me smiling the whole way through.
@@Jkup77 Yup I hate people like this. “Omg breath of the wild masterpiece Ubisoft ew”. Ubisoft are absolute masters in environment creation. Their fantasy/historical games ALWAYS look stunning
The landscape in immortals is underwhelming. Everything feels soo clunky and squashed together, botw on the other hand is built majestically everything it over exaggerated and spaced out. Even thought you can’t go underwater the whole enviroment was engaging. Fishing, hunting cooking made botw awesome. Even though everyone “hates the rain” it belongs soo well.
The problem with Immortals open world is it's topography. It's over designed and way too much reuse of the same collinades/gazebos and parthenon looking buildings that never allows it to feel unique. Then added to how that design is implemented into how you explore, it is apparent how much of it hinges and relies too heavily on the first person inspection mode and compass. Try playing the game without the HUD and it becomes painfully obvious that exploration was never the point of the game design. Because of the vastness of Hyrule and how points of interest are placed and curated, despite it's size, you get a feeling of knowing where you are based on landmasses and topography. Places of interest have meaning behind them. It's harder to say that with Fenyx without heavily relying on quest markers and the compass. It's nice looking without the HUD, but it's unplayable without it. The issue I have with Fenyx is it gives nothing room to breath, and because of it, nothing stands out. Oh hey, look, cool, another Greek style gazebo. Probably has a useless pomegranate and minotaur fight again. The issue with Fenyx is it's just another UBI checklist game. Exploration isn't the point of the game, Breath of the Wild encourages it. BOW felt like a grand adventure the a 6 year old imagination concocted during the time of NES Zelda. The open world is as carefully crafted to promote exploration that I have not seen since Morrowind or a Piranha Bytes game. Fenyx, while good, is cartoon AC.
Both games looks gorgeous honestly, BotW for its artistic simplicity & Immortals for its vibrant color palette. Immortals definitely copies a lot from BotW, but Genshin did the same thing and no one seems to be bothered by that.
One of my favourite combat tricks is to bomb parry launch thing to ice arrow to shock arrow for the aura. Works like a charm, and then picking a target is like taking candy from a red boko.
There's a bit of that on Immortals but not much. Shooting a pomegranate out of a tree that you're standing under will result in an audible thud and well designed collision animation when it hits your head, they'll also roll downhill if they fall on to uneven ground. horses can be jumped on to ride without having to use the "mount" button, few other things like that here and there but nothing too crazy
I got bored with BoTW very quickly, I ended up just walking around doing nothing for most of it. Fenyx Rising is just fun, having a smaller map allows you to get from one place to the next without so much of nothing in between
In my opinion BOTW really isn't for everyone, if you enjoy experimenting during exploration or combat and enjoy a more calm, immersive experience, especially if you always go "Ooh I wanna see what's over there!" BOTW is your type of game, Fenyx is a lot more frantic and intense combat wise and downtime wise, I personally prefer BOTW though, its creative approach to combat that isn't just "this is better on this enemy." is a lot more fun, you can use the materials weapons are made of, the terrain itself (and not just for cover), lying objects, etc, it's really fun, but I can understand why people enjoy Fenyx more.
I somewhat agree. I like both games but BOTW can get a little too much at times. More distractions and easier to just get lost not doing much. Fenyx is probably more pick up and play. More fun at times. And I really prefer the weapons structure in Fenyx. In BOTW I get so annoyed with the weapons constantly breaking after a few fights! I will go back to BOTW again at some point. It is an excellent game. However it does require a lot more time which I just don’t have right now.
@@kp29 not really. There's little to none creativity in Assassin's creed. It's all about the same repetitive "follow an NPC until you kill them" quests. But I get what you mean. GOW is a faster-paced packed with actions. BOTW is chilling and relaxing.
Immortals graphics look way too saturated and colourful especially when you juxtapose it against BotW. This just makes me appreciate BotW's art direction more and their restraint. Pretty much the main difference imo apart from the weapon and skill progression system. Great comparison as always Nick!
People who’ve only played consoles, or worse yet, only played Nintendo consoles, will never understand what graphical integrity means to immersion. These are the same people who buy a low end PC with hardware from 15 years ago and complain that their Switch looks better. It’s a hard yikes from me.
Its how Ghost of Tsushima took the formular of AC and made their own thing out of it. Immortals is a unique game that took the exploration of Zelda to make a combat and god challanges focused game. Fight with godly powers against godly enemies and get over riddles and challenges while using ur powers. Thats Immortals basically. While Zelda is a slow paced sandbox with many creative interactive tools at ur arsenal
Idk why people call it a ripoff. It's literally based of Assassins creed odyssey. Same team. They just wanted a more cartoony game that's closer to Greek mythology. It literally feels like Ac odyssey and borrows the sams mechanics and even sound effects. aside from the stamina mechanic and shrines/puzzles it plays different than BOTW. I love both though and I'll get both of their sequels
@@thanushan3981 Yeah but it's kind of unfair tho. I mean the colors of BOTW are not washed up at all, but there is no decent capturing software on switch so every switch game appears as it's lacks of colors.
@@apeblackberry3641 well Nintendo puts themselves in that position when they only release their games for their consoles. That isn’t meant to be a dig at them but if you are going to compare something you’ll want to use the best means possible, right?
After playing through both and loving both, I can say that BotW has a magical quality that Fenyx is just missing. I’d recommend both games but I’ll be going back to Zelda far more often.
@@The-Azure-Knight Look at botw on the cemu emulator. Not too much can be done about the actual textures for now, but the color pallet, shadows, draw distance, and a few other things can be greatly improved on the emulator. The emulator is also very well optimized and stable, so basically any GPU made in the last 10 or so years should run it.
Nah rdr2 is far above any other game when it comes to horse, due to the mocap technique that makes them looks amazing, along with the muscles and tendons being visible. Zeldas simplistic horse animations work for the game, and are fine
Honestly, I like Immortals more and for a few very simple reasons. 1. The map is reasonable and still has a ton of things to do. 2. You don’t have to run forever to find an animal to ride around the map, in fact you get one during the intro and he’s always with you when you need him. 3. Your weapons don’t break and you’re not forced to use sticks to beat up the goofy looking NPCs. 4. The story is more familiar and simply better presented in Immortals. Zelda is a beautiful and stylish game, but it’s down falls can make for some very awkward conversations regarding the game.
Neil I think the main reason it seemed that way was because it was a Wii U game first then they ported it over at the last second. Had it been fully dedicated to the Switch it would have been better optimized. Of course Fenyx Rising is nowhere near as optimized as the Switch version of Breath of The Wild even before the patches. But that is Ubisoft which isn't that shocking.
One thing that immortals fenyx rising did that's safe would be the gliding. In BOTW if you ran out of stamina you'd plummet to your death. But in immortals fenyx rising, they have it so that you glide slowly down with your wings, safe and sound. Another would be the Perry system. In BOTW you needed to hit it correctly or you would not hit it at all. In immortals fenyx rising you had a little second or two window, and you didn't need to have a shield out to do it. Even if you didn't hit it perfectly, it usually would work unlike in BOTW where it was a lot less forgiving. Also, The taming system for your rides was a lot harder in BOTW since you needed to be a little more sneaky and also needed to have enough stamina not to get bucked off. Then you had to sign it up at the stables. And you couldn't call them in certain areas. While in immortals fenyx rising, you just had to sneak a little bit behind the animal, and then just click a button to insta tame it. It also automatically becomes yours without having to bring it to a stable. You can also call it at anytime or place for the most part. I enjoyed playing both games, but the puzzle designs and the combat I found was a lot more harder for BOTW compared to immortals fenyx rising. So I recommend ppl who are looking for a little more relaxing play to go with immortals fenyx rising. While the ones who are looking for more of a challenge to get BOTW. Imo.
@@lomiification I wouldn't count on that. They'll utilize the map they created, and have more focused areas to traverse within. Looking foward to seeing if they pull it off.
i love immortal fenyx rising but botw will still be a unique game. genshin impact borrowed some of these interactivity as well but it lacked in world interactions and honestly it is too grindy for a single player/coop game
I want Ubisoft to make more games exactly like fenyx rising but with different patheons bc I honestly loved it and I'm replaying it, if they do make another one like it I hope it's either Norse or Egypt patheon
Didn’t really know too much about Immortals before this video. After seeing it though, I’m definitely picking it up on Series X when I finally get my hands on it
PB_andJames I think it is a very enjoyable game worth playing. Just frustrating in a lot of well, "Ubiosoft ways" if that makes sense. Also definitely download latest patches first. That is a must.
I enjoy them both equally honestly. The big difference for me is the enviroment change and Immortals doesn't have as much to discover. I feel like it would be a lot quicker to complete immortals than BoTW. I'm only about 6 hours into the game and have done so much already yet I'm 75 hours in BoTW and still have SOOO much to do and discover. For someone deciding what to buy I would suggest getting BoTW first and then if you enjoy that then you'll enjoy Immortals.

I have about 400+ hours in BOTW and about 40 in Immortals....They're both great but BOTW is a masterpiece while immortals is more of a game that needs about another 3 to 4 years of heavy development to get to BOTW caliber...But still great game.

Botw is a masterpiece
I’m enjoying immortals more tbhh, it having more story and the world not being really empty in a lot of areas rly is something I prefer
It really comes down to personal preference, I’m just glad that botw has set a new standard for open world games to allow games, such as Fenyx rising to be more suited to people like you
People who don't have switch will buy Fenyx.

Fenix Rising is a new IP. Rider’s Republic is a new IP. Steep has only had one sequel. Same with The Division. For Honor was a new IP last gen. It’s possible to have series and new IPs. Ubisoft is pretty good at doing both.

As someone who didnt like BoTW as a Zelda game (it's a good open world game though), and doesn't want to play another AC Odyssey, is Immortals something I would enjoy?
Let's be fair : botw is mostly suffering of the hardware it was released on
Most of Nick's comments were about its chosen aesthetic, which will not change regardless of hardware (even on PC emulation it takes modding the game's color grading and lighting to alter it). Its low contrast, earthen toned look is the design intent.
It's a miracle it was released on WiiU so we can enjoy it on PC with Cemu. I can't imagine playing this masterpiece 720p 30fps. When you unlock his potencial it truly doesn't have technical flaws, everything simplistic about the graphics can be seen as an artistic choice.
@@auronkardek It was original made for the Wii U so it’s not rlly a miracle that it was released on it

The art style in Breath of The Wild is heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli films, so if it was released on a more powerful hardware, it would still maintain its color palette and lighting.

The soundtrack of Immortals is beautiful actually. I'm not saying BOTW's is bad, there were some great tracks, but I didn't like the overemphasis on piano.
I've been playing immortals a lot since our came to game pass. I love the puzzles. Some are tricky and really make me think

@@benyuri14 Personally I think the color scheme fits the somber feel of the game once you learn some of the story, especially even when just in the plateau.

Switching from Botw to immortals so much feels so jarring, Immortals is so bright it's almost too much.
Or maybe BOTW is so dull that you forgot what actual colour looks like.
BOTW is an amazing game, but I prefer Immortals Fenyx Rising ! The gameplay, the puzzles, the narration, the humour ! And the ambiant of Ancient Greece. I fell in love with IFR.
I feel that at the moment, immortals looks better, but it'll be forgotten in a at most a year compared to zelda were people are still talking about older zelda games 20 years later. Also immortals' horses look so stiff and unnatural
they definitely do look stiff hey? and their stride is very short, not long and graceful like a real horse. But after riding them a lot in the game, they control much better than the horses in botw. they jump off rocks and even small cliffs with ease and just all-around feel much smoother to control
That's simply because nintendo fans will keep rebuying old nintendo games that they know the fans will keep buying. Mario for instance. Nothing innovative in years but the community goes crazy for it just cause it's Mario. Same applies here. If botw didn't have the title Zelda, it wouldn't be as popular and talked about. It's just facts. The Fandom can be toxic but it's understandable.
@@vergeofwill true, if they changed the characters and it wasn't made by nintendo, the game would've died out out much quicker.

4:44 Horse: Ight ima head out
Immortals is miles better. I like that the map is more vibrant than BOTW, I also really like that weapons don't break. It's just a way easier game. BOTW is a bit of a weird game. It tries to do something, but doesn't do it well. Weapons break, but not gear. And stamina doesn't last nearly as long as it should. Who gets tired after running for 20 meters. As a smoker I can easily do 1km without issues. Now sure, you can spend orbs to get more stamina, which makes zero sense. They should've binded it to experience instead, as in when you run, you slowly increase your stamina.
It’s meh. For a combat focused game it sure likes to include a lot of non combat puzzles.
@@Mohgenstein Immortals? I don't know. They did some unique with the puzzles compared to other Ubi games. The Lair's are super fun too.

@Let Love Fly Free Draw distance is a completely different thing from the field of view. Field of view is how far pulled back the camera is which expands how much of the screen you can see at once. Draw distance is how far objects and detail are loaded into the world which affects how far away those details and objects remain depending on your distance from them. Draw distance is one thing that is improving drastically this generation due to the fast SSD storage and more video memory to load a lot more detail at once so there is no need to restrict draw distance as much.

Also the world feeling less alive is kinda the point. Literally every other human has been turned to stone, and doesn't come back. Your only company is your enemies.
I honestly think they're the same in quality. The two games have made immense success, and although Breath of the Wild has a shellshaded, anime look, Immortals' humour and story really interests me, and allows difficulties to enhance your experience. Breath of the Wild is like finding loads of ingredients for a taco and finding something new, while Immortals offers all the perfect ingredients and you make a 5 star recipe. Long story short, if you look to work hard, explore and have a long gameplay experience, Breath of the Wild is for you. if you look to have a challenge and good equipment to attempt to overcome it, Immortals is your gameplay persona.
My only major issue with Immortals is how much more dead the world feels compared to BoTW.
No villages, or that many notable NPCS. Just a bunch of enemies near certain chests and buildings.

@@Jkup77 Yup I hate people like this. “Omg breath of the wild masterpiece Ubisoft ew”. Ubisoft are absolute masters in environment creation. Their fantasy/historical games ALWAYS look stunning

The landscape in immortals is underwhelming. Everything feels soo clunky and squashed together, botw on the other hand is built majestically everything it over exaggerated and spaced out. Even thought you can’t go underwater the whole enviroment was engaging. Fishing, hunting cooking made botw awesome. Even though everyone “hates the rain” it belongs soo well.
You can do fishing in BOTW?? I can only spamming bombs or swimming over them and catch manually.
@@linggasy yeah I did that only in hero mode to save arrows
Immortals is still a good game regardless
The problem with Immortals open world is it's topography. It's over designed and way too much reuse of the same collinades/gazebos and parthenon looking buildings that never allows it to feel unique. Then added to how that design is implemented into how you explore, it is apparent how much of it hinges and relies too heavily on the first person inspection mode and compass. Try playing the game without the HUD and it becomes painfully obvious that exploration was never the point of the game design. Because of the vastness of Hyrule and how points of interest are placed and curated, despite it's size, you get a feeling of knowing where you are based on landmasses and topography. Places of interest have meaning behind them. It's harder to say that with Fenyx without heavily relying on quest markers and the compass. It's nice looking without the HUD, but it's unplayable without it. The issue I have with Fenyx is it gives nothing room to breath, and because of it, nothing stands out. Oh hey, look, cool, another Greek style gazebo. Probably has a useless pomegranate and minotaur fight again. The issue with Fenyx is it's just another UBI checklist game. Exploration isn't the point of the game, Breath of the Wild encourages it.
BOW felt like a grand adventure the a 6 year old imagination concocted during the time of NES Zelda. The open world is as carefully crafted to promote exploration that I have not seen since Morrowind or a Piranha Bytes game. Fenyx, while good, is cartoon AC.
The problem is the botw is so fuckin empty and boring for those reasons
To be honest I’m gonna chose immortals Fenix rising over Zelda any day
(I don’t have a switch😂😂😂)
Zelda botw will always stay my favorite but I am always open to hear about other games
Both games looks gorgeous honestly, BotW for its artistic simplicity & Immortals for its vibrant color palette. Immortals definitely copies a lot from BotW, but Genshin did the same thing and no one seems to be bothered by that.
Botw took inspiration from skyrim and shadow of the collosus
and assasins creed climbing anything@@MrSkullMerchant
Botw also has a parry with the shield? And Crit locations on enemies that can do things similar to stuns
One of my favourite combat tricks is to bomb parry launch thing to ice arrow to shock arrow for the aura. Works like a charm, and then picking a target is like taking candy from a red boko.
The thing that made BOTW really interesting is its physics-driven world
There's a bit of that on Immortals but not much. Shooting a pomegranate out of a tree that you're standing under will result in an audible thud and well designed collision animation when it hits your head, they'll also roll downhill if they fall on to uneven ground. horses can be jumped on to ride without having to use the "mount" button, few other things like that here and there but nothing too crazy
but its very limited though.
I got bored with BoTW very quickly, I ended up just walking around doing nothing for most of it. Fenyx Rising is just fun, having a smaller map allows you to get from one place to the next without so much of nothing in between
In my opinion BOTW really isn't for everyone, if you enjoy experimenting during exploration or combat and enjoy a more calm, immersive experience, especially if you always go "Ooh I wanna see what's over there!" BOTW is your type of game, Fenyx is a lot more frantic and intense combat wise and downtime wise, I personally prefer BOTW though, its creative approach to combat that isn't just "this is better on this enemy." is a lot more fun, you can use the materials weapons are made of, the terrain itself (and not just for cover), lying objects, etc, it's really fun, but I can understand why people enjoy Fenyx more.
I somewhat agree. I like both games but BOTW can get a little too much at times. More distractions and easier to just get lost not doing much. Fenyx is probably more pick up and play. More fun at times. And I really prefer the weapons structure in Fenyx. In BOTW I get so annoyed with the weapons constantly breaking after a few fights! I will go back to BOTW again at some point. It is an excellent game. However it does require a lot more time which I just don’t have right now.
Fenyx Rising is perfect for someone who liked God of War (aka me). BoTW is closer to Assassin's creed style, I suppose.
@@kp29 yeah possibly, Im a GoW guy too
@@kp29 not really. There's little to none creativity in Assassin's creed. It's all about the same repetitive "follow an NPC until you kill them" quests. But I get what you mean. GOW is a faster-paced packed with actions. BOTW is chilling and relaxing.

I like the look of Immortal’s Rising more than BOTW, and I played BOTW for 120+ hours. I guess it’s all up to the players.

I agree completely. I prefer botw graphics a lot more. The colors in Fenyx are way too vibrant in my opinion. But of course this is subjective.
That’s the point. It’s a comedic game with high energy

@@GoogleAccount-tg9lp yeah lol, let’s not exaggerate here.
@@florianebner934 bout wat
Honestly, I like Immortals more and for a few very simple reasons.
1. The map is reasonable and still has a ton of things to do.
2. You don’t have to run forever to find an animal to ride around the map, in fact you get one during the intro and he’s always with you when you need him.
3. Your weapons don’t break and you’re not forced to use sticks to beat up the goofy looking NPCs.
4. The story is more familiar and simply better presented in Immortals.
Zelda is a beautiful and stylish game, but it’s down falls can make for some very awkward conversations regarding the game.
BotW's weapons keep breaking. It absolutely ruins it. I'm enjoying Fenyx far more
Fenyx rising was awesome. But definitely shallow compared to Zelda.
I’d love to see a Zelda on a properly powered console. Such a great game
Neil
I think the main reason it seemed that way was because it was a Wii U game first then they ported it over at the last second. Had it been fully dedicated to the Switch it would have been better optimized. Of course Fenyx Rising is nowhere near as optimized as the Switch version of Breath of The Wild even before the patches. But that is Ubisoft which isn't that shocking.
Try "Cemu" + your copy of BOTW + Mods :-)
4:45 Yoshi-ing the horse, that's a "no-no" lol
This isn’t a fair comparison since BOTW is a switch only game they should also do Immorals on switch
One thing that immortals fenyx rising did that's safe would be the gliding. In BOTW if you ran out of stamina you'd plummet to your death. But in immortals fenyx rising, they have it so that you glide slowly down with your wings, safe and sound.
Another would be the Perry system. In BOTW you needed to hit it correctly or you would not hit it at all. In immortals fenyx rising you had a little second or two window, and you didn't need to have a shield out to do it. Even if you didn't hit it perfectly, it usually would work unlike in BOTW where it was a lot less forgiving.
Also, The taming system for your rides was a lot harder in BOTW since you needed to be a little more sneaky and also needed to have enough stamina not to get bucked off. Then you had to sign it up at the stables. And you couldn't call them in certain areas. While in immortals fenyx rising, you just had to sneak a little bit behind the animal, and then just click a button to insta tame it. It also automatically becomes yours without having to bring it to a stable. You can also call it at anytime or place for the most part.
I enjoyed playing both games, but the puzzle designs and the combat I found was a lot more harder for BOTW compared to immortals fenyx rising. So I recommend ppl who are looking for a little more relaxing play to go with immortals fenyx rising. While the ones who are looking for more of a challenge to get BOTW. Imo.
The cooking in breath of the wild alone is more complex than anything in fenyx rising lol
I hope the switch pro and botw2 launches together to really elivate the botw experience to new heights
From my understanding, botw2 won't be the same kind of big open world considering a good portion is underground
@@lomiification I wouldn't count on that. They'll utilize the map they created, and have more focused areas to traverse within. Looking foward to seeing if they pull it off.
@@Yku30 oh you work for Nintendo, little random? 🤓
Should have just compared the Switch version of Immortals would have made way more sense
I'm yet to find a game that makes riding horses feel as nice as in Botw.
*BEST HORSE RIDING EVER*
Red dead 2 takes that
@@randomness5281 The amount of times the horse didn't go where I wanted it to go is insane
My favourite part about fenyx is the way the horse gets called he jumps and the horse appears underneath him it’s so cool
I don't think this guy's played fenyx beyond 10 hours
If someone told me wich one you gonna play first i would choose zelda
yeah but both are pretty good even if zelda is better i wont give ubisft a hard time
Depends.
Eh, one side clearly looks better than the other. A laymen would pick Ubisoft's over Zelda. Zelda's strength has always been gameplay, not aesthetics.
i love immortal fenyx rising but botw will still be a unique game. genshin impact borrowed some of these interactivity as well but it lacked in world interactions and honestly it is too grindy for a single player/coop game
"You can copy my homework, just change it a lil bit"
I'll copy your homework and make it better. So, I'll get A, and you'll get C+. Cheers.
I want Ubisoft to make more games exactly like fenyx rising but with different patheons bc I honestly loved it and I'm replaying it, if they do make another one like it I hope it's either Norse or Egypt patheon
It supposedly is oriented toward ancient Pacific Islander cultures
@@markcouture4726 that's fine too I'm excited
I played both and imortal fenyx rising is better.
BOTW - If you have Nintendo Switch
Fenyx Rising - If you can Afford it on a platform you already have
Genshin Impact - If you can't afford jack
botw on pc and switch
Only with an emulator
4:45 I just got memories of Super Mario World jumping off Yoshi here.
You can see yoshi's image on the horses head when there falling
Didn’t really know too much about Immortals before this video. After seeing it though, I’m definitely picking it up on Series X when I finally get my hands on it

I think it is a very enjoyable game worth playing. Just frustrating in a lot of well, "Ubiosoft ways" if that makes sense. Also definitely download latest patches first. That is a must.
For me Immortals is way better than BOTW, that’s just my personal opinion
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vs Genshi Impact
This is going to be interesting

It’s a huge task as a switch player to convince myself that these are decent graphics lol
I enjoy them both equally honestly. The big difference for me is the enviroment change and Immortals doesn't have as much to discover. I feel like it would be a lot quicker to complete immortals than BoTW. I'm only about 6 hours into the game and have done so much already yet I'm 75 hours in BoTW and still have SOOO much to do and discover.
For someone deciding what to buy I would suggest getting BoTW first and then if you enjoy that then you'll enjoy Immortals.
If there is other game like them pls ?
Dude 3 years isnt that much. Its the nintendo hardware thats 7 years behind that makes it hard to make anything good...
