Alright man. If you want to keep embarassing yourself that's on you, but don't make me part of your humiliation fetish. Buhbye!

Yes, I can tell.

Oh, you're one of those people. Sorry, it was unfair of me to expect you to be able to read.

Maybe take your own advice? He repeatedly talks about the map, several times, before making an offhand side reference to the price.

Maybe you just honed in on your personal bugbear and ignored all the context, hm?

Which....wasn't at all the point?

The dude complained, based on practically nothing, that the developers were being lazy in reusing the same map.

...which point?

Alright. You seem pretty determined that you know the map will remain unchanged, so I'll stop trying to bring logic into this.

Like floating landmasses newly arrived in the sky, for example?

>if there was more to show, they'd have shown more than phasing through ceilings, and a single floating island.

Yes, because games that try to encourage exploration love to show you the entire map in the trailer.

>Was BOTW your first zelda?

Oh, my sweet summer child.

> There is so much more to hyrule than what we got.

How do you know? At various points this world floods, flies, falls apart etc etc so it's clearly subject to major changes. After a world-ending cataclysm we have no way of knowing what survived.

>no one was rebuilding aside from Tarrey town.

Being honest, what would have been the point? At that point the world is overrun by monsters which, if you kill them, come back a day or two later.

>My big hope is that Link is going to be running into loads of towns building back up

Which would be cool, though the impression I got from the trailer is that the monsters are also back. Hopefully it doesn't go in an annoying Minutemen direction...

>They could have given us a whole new map

Wouldn't make much sense in context, given that it's called Tears of the Kingdom, which is what the first map was.

>They could have given us the entirety of the old one, and 50% more to explore.

It looks like we have the original map plus a bunch of floating islands and such. So probably more to explore.

>There's a lot you can expect, when they expect us to be paying the same price for the sequel as we did for the original. Yet they feel they can put less work in.

Again, though, how do you actually know that if you've not played it? You don't know what's on the map, or above it, or under it. You don't know what has or hasn't changed.

>120 new challenges/minidungeons/skyislands/whateveritscalled that will give you a sense of progression

Korok Hunt 2: Electric Boogapoo

> I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in the (what seems to be) the lack of changes to the map.

What changes were you expecting? It's set in the same place, not long after the first game. It was unlikely to have been gentrified and filled with artisan coffee places in the interim.

Obviously there are going to be differences in what things/monsters/adventures you find in what place, probably few ne locations and some changes made to existing ones etc etc, but expecting an entirely new map is just strange.

Maybe I've misunderstood, but my understanding has always been that as a man I'm already banned from the women's toilets?
