Support NeoGAF

[Gamer79]

Yes these games are dramatically different in some ways but also Dramatically the same in others. Both are adventure types with Combat, both have lore around gods, and both have epic scales.

AS a switch/ps5 owner it's a tough decisions for me. Yes I will get both eventually but time for gaming is hard these days. For me it's a fairly easy decicion in GOW: Ragnarok but each his own. If you could choose one, which would it be?

 

[mxbison]

Not sure I'll like the phase/time shifting mechanic they showed for BotW2 so I'd give the slight edge to GoW.

 

[SeraphJan]

How are we going to compare them, based on our knowledge of the previous game and a few trailers?

I would have to say neither interests me.

I voted neither, but at least the former had visual edge.

 

[AV]

Zelda, I've beaten 18 Zelda games and I'm not about to stop now.

Also, BOTW2 doesn't even have a release date yet, I'm sure you can find time to beat GoW by then.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

BotW 2 won't be $70 dollar DLC so...BotW2.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[TexMex]

I loved GoW and actively disliked BotW. But I’m still voting BotW. Ragnarok will be good but I know what that game will be start to finish. I’m more curious about BotW2.

 

[DForce]

GoW

BotW was boring so I'm not looking forward to BotW2

 

[MagiusNecros]

Zelda because it will be a game while GoW: R will just be a one and done movie.

 

[Fredrik]

Why not both?
I would never allow myself to be stuck in a scenario where I have to choose.

 

[Lasha]

BotW 2 for me if I have to choose. I didn't enjoy my time with the new GoW as much as I enjoyed the older games. I'm not terribly excited for either since I'll probably be playing Splatoon 3.

 

[CatLady]

BotW 2 by a mile. I really liked the first one and I'm very much looking forward to the sequel.
Dad of War is not really my kind of game and doesn't appeal to me at all.

 

[Ellery]

BotW 2 won't be $70 dollar DLC so...BotW2.

What is happening on Neogaf right now

 

[Ansphn]

Why not both?

But if i had no choice, Gow easily

 

[Chukhopops]

I’m a little more excited about BotW sequel after putting 250 hours in the first one.

I expect it to be what Majora’s mask was to OoT and for minds to be blown.

 

[FingerBang]

I'm definitely on the GOW side. I loved Breath of the Wild, but I'm sucker for a good story and characters and need my good dose of GOW.

BotW 2 won't be $70 dollar DLC so...BotW2.

Tell us more about this game you've obviously played thoroughly!

 

[Robb]

BotW2 and frankly it’s not even close. There’s no upcoming game I’d take over BotW2.

GoW:R looks sweet though.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Gotta be botw2 if only because I'll get more hours of enjoyment out of it. Did love gow2018 though.

 

[BennyBlanco]

BOTW2 by a mile

BotW 2 won't be $70 dollar DLC so...BotW2.

By this logic BOTW2 will be $60 DLC. It’s probably gonna use the same map.

 

[Beer Baelly]

I hate babysitting

 

[Esca]

I have no interest in GoWR

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Zelda: BOTW 2​

is the only answer.

All God of war games... can be found in 15$ later.

 

[sainraja]

I wouldn't choose one. I would choose both.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I vote neither. GoW has no interest to me as it is the same damn game. I haven't been following BoTW2 but if it is the same as the first one then I don't really care to play it again. I want a completely new experience.

 

[Robb]

All God of war games... can be found in 15$ later.

Not sure how that’s a bad thing though. I wish Nintendo had lower prices sometimes.

Get an amazing game for $15 or get an amazing game for $60.. Easy choice if you’re low on cash imo.

That’s my issue with Nintendo as well. Some of their games seem a bit much at 60$ but unfortunately those prices never drop. Don’t have an issue with games like Xenoblade because they provide a ton of value for the money.

 

[Jennings]

Between all the cut scenes GoW should have a fun game in there, but I've never watched streamers openly crying about the majesty of the experience like with BotW. I'll go with BotW2 if only for the cosplay and gamer chicks living it out.

[supernova8]

If you were in a position to choose between GOW and Zelda (ie you had both a PS5 and a Switch) and you're not a child and therefore control your own finances, this is not really a question that needs answering. You'd just get both. Besides they are completely different.

 

[PonyStation4]

Unless BOTW2 fixes the problem with the lack of puzzles/dungeons and interesting landmarks, it's a pass for me. It felt like an archaic game
In the case of GOWR, I don't care at all for it

I would say BOTW2 in this case, but they will have to make a large jump in presentation and gameplay to impress me.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

The prospect of playing Breath of the Wild II on new hardware triggers feelings in me I thought died in the 90s.


I think it moved.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Obviously the PlayStation Exclusive, brought to you by Sony Interactive Entertainment

Bless Jim Ryan

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Ragnarok and it's not even close.

 

[synchronicity]

GOW 2018 was disappointing to me relative to the series' heritage, but I really loved BOTW, so it's an easy choice for me.

 

[VN1X]

Turbo Golf Racing

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

hard decision but I'm a zelda fanboy.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Zelda, to me they ruined the god of war franchise with the 2018 game. It was a generic uninspired ripoff of other games with no soul like the real god of war games had. zelda botw, even though I didn't think it was that good still kept the soul of zelda.

 

[Georome]

Zelda. God of War is nothing to me.

Ironic considering how derivative BOTW was

 

[TastyPastry]

GoW was good but i worry Ragnarok is going to be a pretty safe sequel so i'm choosing BotW2. also the recent info about the different shields in ragnarok was a huge turnoff, hopefully they are not going to double down on the shitty as loot system of the first one.

 

[Sosokrates]

They are very different sort of games, but judging by the first ones overall BOTW is the better designed, the item and weapon select and overall Ui is more intuitive and I found the open world and freedom to climb, chop down trees etc more fun. The environmental puzzles and gameplay give BOTW more depth.
There are lengths of time in Gow which are bit tedious.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

By this logic BOTW2 will be $60 DLC. It’s probably gonna use the same map.

Completely illogical. Why?

Because Nintendo has never made an unambitious Zelda game in their history. Good luck if you think that's going to start with BotW2.

And there's a reason why the "God of War Ragnarok DLC" label stuck, while the accusation isn't used on most other AAA games.

It's cool if you like God of War, but you can't really deny that it looks essentially identical to the 2018 version.

 

[Captain Toad]

God of War was a much better game than BotW, so Ragnarok. But, I'm not playing your game, both are day one.

 

[brian0057]

Well, God of War was just an unbroken cinematic experience with no cutscenes (at least, in the tradtional sense) and ok combat.
So... Breath of the Wild 2.

 

[GymWolf]

Ragnarok of course.

 

[remember_spinal]

Breath of The Wild 2 if it came with new hardware. I might not even buy BoTW2 if theres no switch pro or switch 2. fuck playing new games in 2023 in 720p 30fps

 

[Josemayuste]

BOTW2, no doubt.

 

[Little Mac]

If BotW2 drops the annoying weapon durability system from the first game, and launches with new hardware, then I would chose it. If not, I'd probably vote neither. I'm more interested in GoW:Rag's story than the continuation of it's gameplay mechanics.

 

[Ezquimacore]

Both on different genres, seasons, consoles... But ok I'll play your game. Breath of the wild 2 will offer the new experience so, that one. Even today, after 5.5 years the first game has gameplay value while GOW is a thing from the past and tbh I prefer the og trilogy.

 

[hemo memo]

GOW: Ragnarok because if I wanted to play mini physics and electricity puzzle rooms I would play Portal.
