Has anyone said Pokemon Sword/Shield?
Because Pokemon Sword/Shield are abysmal; I couldn't tell you which is worse, them or Breath of the Wild. They're both massively disappointing releases with very little to actually do, and too many changes for the worse compared to previous games in their series.

dude what the fuck, I could agree in pokemon sword and shield but Breath of the Wild is amazing, for me is the best game I have ever played, and the changes are really good, I don't see the reason of having auto jump, lock on, and the open world is much better than the linearity of skyward sword.

Except that I managed to struggle and suffer my way through Skyward Sword a few times, since at heart it's still a traditional Legend of Zelda game - deeply flawed, but still. Compare this to Breath of the Wild, where the sheer inanity of stamina and fragility and resource grinding and rain preventing climbing and awkward, slow combat and bokoblins on horseback one-shotting me caused me to quit after just a handful of hours, not getting all that far into the game.

Then compare BOTH Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild to Twilight Princess, where combat is actually fun and fluid and fast, where the dungeons haven't been supplanted by dozens of stupid blue shrines, where there is no stamina or fragility or resource grinding, where the overworld doesn't take bloody forever to traverse, where every area is distinct and memorable, where there's plenty of good sidequests to get ammo upgrades or Heart Pieces (though the "deliver hot water to Castle Town" one can go die - still only one bad one of many).

Yeah, Breath of the Wild does not stack up against either Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess.

the open world is just what makes breath of the wild the better game, you can do whatever you want, there are thousands of things to do, you can play this game multiple times and never get boring, the combat on breath of the wild is faster than in twilight princess except for when you have a two handed sword, stamina can be upgraded by doing shrines, which makes the process really fun, the climbing has it's flaws, but it is still amazing (much better than the other games) while you can say than the dungeons and story are bad, the game simply isn't, I am almost sure that you've never beaten breath of the wild, or maybe you've probably never left the great plateau at all, and if you have then you don't understand the game

Don't they charge like $16 for Pokémon HOME? When said Pokémon data takes up mere megabytes, and storing a couple thousand of them shouldn't cost anywhere near $16?

Personally, I agree with King Dick here; I've left the starting area, and didn't find much to do except visit more boring shrines, get to more non-linear and bland dungeons, and nurse bloody gauges whilst losing hard-won swords and shields. Ugh.
Twilight Princess's combat is faster than what I experienced in BotW, and deeper, due to the Hidden Skills.
It's possible to play Twilight Princess multiple times and never get bored of it, so that point's irrelevant.
There's plenty to do in Twilight Princess too; the same applies for The Wind Waker, Link's Awakening, A Link Between Worlds, and Majora's Mask 3D. Sure, not technically as much, but still a large enough number as to never feel like there's nothing to do.

Neither King Dick or I have ever been able to torture ourselves to beat Breath of the Wild, and neither of us have the patience or the masochism required to do so; just several hours is enough to confirm that neither of us like the game or the game design decisions Nintendo made. We both agreed that Skyrim and Assassin's Creed Origins and Middle-Earth: Shadows of Mordor were far more enjoyable open-world games.

well anyone can have different opinions, at the beggining I also thought just like this, but later I started to love the game, (played 400 hours) but I didn't know the game was THAT hated...

I have Super Kirby Clash on my list of the worst games. It looks nice, but it feels more like a cashgrab game for smartphones because of the forced breaks to "refill" resources to fight. But what do you expect, if it's for free?

I've tried the Fairy Tail game for Switch. It's kinda disappointing. You just get dropped into the middle of Fairy Tail's story after Tenrou Island with a small fight explaining the fight system. It looks okay'ish, the animations are a bit to static. Overall the game suffers from many fps drops to about 15 fps. The game really feels like it could have been a title released 10 years ago.
The music sounds very generic with some pieces of Fairy Tail mixed in.

Gameplay in short up to chapter 3: Lots of small tutorials how to do things and some introduction into a bit of grinding levels and quests.
I just cannot enjoy the slow dialogs and streched animations.
If you want an example how cheap this game is: Just jump three times in a row. The jumping sound from the character is always the same. The game is not worth 60 Euros.
If you don't have anything better to play and you like Fairy Tail, you might want to play it, but for everyone else it's a huge disappointment. Go for Xenoblade Chronicles instead. It doesn't look like a Fairy Tail themed whitelabel product.

--- Update
Played a bit further. Now Chapter 4 and I really understand, why someone wrote "it's just for fans". Because you need to know what happened in the Anime. The fight Flare vs Lucy was a huge disappointment after the Labyrinth was completely skipped and told in a few speech bubbles. WOW! I know the different games in the tournament would be challenging to display, but skipping this completely? It's like the anime spend 3-5 episodes on in and they just make a animationless cutscene out of it. WOW!
in the fight Lucy vs Flare, you just spam your attacks on her until the fight stops and you see the two characters just standing in the arena while the text is telling what is going on. Cutscenes? Nope.
To be fair: The real cutscenes are okay. It feels like the graphics are a bit polished, the music is fine, but they are rare to happen. Bonus points for the pool fanservice scene which was well animated.

Back to the fight after it started again: Flare told Lucy not to do anything, but you're supposed to attack her and get 5 rounds the same "I told you not to move" message in return. Either I did it wrong, or I exploited the game.

Stepping forward in the game (I don't know how many chapters is has, but I feels like that there is not much more contained than the Grand Magic Games Arc. I cannot upgrade the facilities in the guild further and I'm already guild rank 50 (Rank B).

It could have been a really good game, if they wouldn't have saved every penny possible to deliver a full price game that lacks in variety of sounds and expressions (positive: Original VA in the game) and some characters are missing completely (Millianna is just visible as 2D Drawing in a "cutscene" while I suspect that there isn't a 3D model of this beloved character.

It might not be fair to say "worst game", but all of this just makes me tell everyone, to avoid this game and I would demand my money back, if I wouldn't want to finish the game as a fan.
