Why is Gameplay weighted just as much as each of graphics and story? That's the meat of the game by a long shot.
You're comparing two completely different games for completely different consoles
The graphics on ps4 pro in horizon are awesome!
Come on Watchmojo. if you just did some research you would know that DLC pack 2 for the Legend of Zelda BOW continues the story from the main game.
Horizon better
i like horzi
Horizon has just as much verity on weapons (they're just different)… and switching between those is way more fluid.
Horizon Zero Dawn doesn't suffer from shit game breaking weapon switching that breaks Breath of the Wild totally killing the fun of the game for me. Horizon Zero Dawn is a better game over all… this list does not cover the meat of comparison.
I know I'm late, but I have played both games and had a blast with both. In the end though, I have to say I had more fun with zelda. I don't need these categories, I judge games based on my experience. I played when Nintendo fixed the frame rate issues mostly, so that might be it, but even still, I would probably choose zelda. A very good choice and worthy of the game of the year award over this, and odyssey in my opinion. I have played Mario odyssey, and I still prefer zelda. Zelda also still has one last dlc which could add more depth to the story.
I played them both. HZD i couldn't eat through because of the horrible voice acting and repetitive missions. Also I did not care for the story one bit.
I Dont disagree with this the only thing i dont like about watch mojo comats like this is they always taylor it to the fight so that it can be close vs keeeping the same formula per game when it comes to the topics of which they are battling against so that we can really judge it by what it is not just so they can be close but these two was always going to be close anyways
i call this unfair because they put dungeons.
they practically gave this comparesion because zelda has alot more than horizon because it only has 3
Seeing this video I now remember how boring Horizon was.
Zeldas a terrible franchise
It sucks
The crafting systems terrible in Zelda exploration is just as as horizon zero dawn or worse
Zelda is for kids
Stupid roughly revolutionary all drive kiss internal kid sometimes shut quarter research.
As a guy who played both to damn near 100%, I love both, but have to give it to Horizon. Just because of the amazing story and the way Aloy fixed such as broken land. It felt like link wasn’t there to fix Hyrule. He was there for his own personal gain. And graphics in a game always counts as 2 points!!!
Horizon because it's original and not a never ending franchise like loz.
Horizon Zero Dawn is shit hahahahahahahahaha the answer is easy
Horizon zero dawn is a truly amazing game. Both are very good snd its a pointless argument just play both
Team France
before I watched this video i know they will pick zelda ……my big Q is the story off zelda is the same link save zelda
Horizon is a joke compared to zelda
Zelda
Zelda is an established developer and franchise on its like 15th game. Horizon is a new IP from a dev who uses to make generic FPS games.
Interesting.
Your gameplay comparison was a joke. You essentially ignored every weapon in Horizons but the bow and spear., and completely ignore traps, bombs, tripwires, linecasters, overrides, and mounted combat. The idea that Zelda's largely bland and empty game-world wins out over Horizons lush and alive game-world because you can climb walls and chop down trees is also ludicrous, particularly when you completely fail to acknowledge Horizon's platforming mechanics that accomplish the exact same thing. This comparison felt grossly rigged to promote Zelda.
"Had Zelda spent more time in development…". Its been in development for years. It was delayed more times then I can count to ensure quality.
I AM THE BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD AND WHAT I SAY GOES AND HORIZON ZERO DAWN IS A BETTER GAME WHEN I PLAYED ZELDA AFTER 1 HOUR I GOT BORED
I'm sorry Zelda looks like a joke compared to horizon
your answer is in the first 5 seconds of the video…. they're apples and oranges, two completely different games that just so happened to come out at the same time. personally, they're both outstanding games. neither is better nor worse than the other.
Shouldn't Zelda have massive points removed for being done to death! I mean at some point you have to get an IP right and Nintendo has had 10+ years to finally get it right. Guerilla Games hasn't had the time in the industry and for that their game is clearly better.
Congratulations to all Breath of the Wild players
Point of world should go to horizon. And you forgot 25 machines an evry have specualy abilities and weaknes. Also jungle, send dessert, dessert, snow and sun plaices, forests and mountains in horizon!
Ok I haven't played Zelda yet but I can understand why People say it is a better game but objectively it is definetly not.
Zelda's Story is the same as in any other Zelda game with only slight changes of the scenery which would earn ANY other game negative Reviews or critizism but with Zelda no one fucking gives a shit which pisses me off. I know ist not about the Story but objectively you can't just ignore that.
Then we have Graphics which are simply put bad. All the good Things mentioned in this Video about the graphics were true yet didn't belong in the graphics section and instead in the world section because simply looking at textures and Details Zelda has not much to offer. Sure it does the best it can with the bad Hardware of both the Wii U and the Switch but objectively the rock textures as fell as the Floor and many other surfaces look horrible. The atmosphere might be great and an overview over the entire map might look great but that is the world not the graphics because if the graphics were good the game would still look good in a Close up.
Gameplay I will say nothing about because though Horizon has many innovative ideas Zelda with ist many possibilities is simply put better.
Then we have dungeons which I simply think is a inappropriate category for in Horizon These are only small side activities and not a Major element of the game. Yes they do have a important Task but that doesn't mean that they are supposed to be more than a way to introduce new mechanics while in Zelda they on top of this are a Major game element.
Now World is of Course different and I am going to leave it aside by saying that everyone has his or her own favorite.
Now this would mean that both games are in this case equal but if you would consider all These Facts you have to ask yourself: How can it be that besides this the game can even get a 10/10?
I mean it's great but thats just cherry picking and not actual reviewing!
witcher 3 will fuck zelda+horizon
Witcher 3 eats all of these games anyway
Fighting enemies in BOTW becomes a chore after facing them once but I never got bored facing machines in Horizon because the intricate AI made every battle seem different. But that's something I personally appreciate in a game whereas a Zelda player may favor something else like its superior physics and world encompassing interactivity. Its not fair to compare BOTW to HZ because they both look to cater to different tastes, like comparing Jiro's sushi to Ramsey's filet mignon.
HZD all the way.
Two things we could all probably agree on. The ost for HZD kicks Botw's ass and that botw's physics kick HZD's ass.
gasp Oh no..! Did i just compliment BOTH games..? D:
horizons better
Wait till Horizon zero dawn gets co-op 2-4 players!
I have played both. Whilst Zelda has some really cool ideas and the things you can do in that game are ground breaking… There is just so many things the game lacks. Like a sense of purpose, or a point. Too much of the world is empty, barren and without a purpose. And the fact that too much of the entire game requires you to have an understanding of the franchise, is a solid negative.
For me, the winner is Horizon, by quite a margin.
