>There's a level of polish that a lot of Nintendo games have.

I'm not sure what games you are referring to, unless you are talking about n64 and GameCube era.

Botw was empty and Animal crossing has huge problems. Not to mention the failures of Mario party.

What are you even talking about lol?

Animal Crossing has huge problems? Like what? It's a simple game about managing friendship and an island. It does that perfectly. There was some issues with multiplayer, but even those where minor and are being fixed.

BOTW is empty????? Have you never played a large map game ever? It's absolutely amazing and one of the top rated games of all time.

You're just being an iconoclast for no reason but to get downvotes?

Ac,- Multiplayer is unpolished, and you can only have 1 main player. Also https://www.wired.com/story/animal-crossing-i-am-not-relaxed...

Botw is empty. Yes, large maps are common in 2020. Elder scrolls, assassin's Creed, and GTA come to mind as full but large worlds. Instead of walking to a destination, you'd often run into side quests.

I'm wondering if you've only Nintendo gamed and are just unaware.

That is unnecessarily patronizing. Just because someone does not agree with your opinions does not mean they are ignorant.

And just to take the example I'm most familiar with from your list, sure you occasionally run across a side-quest in Skyrim, but most of the time the world is just populated with the same small set of spawning NPCs who exist to add the 12 or so big quests to your journal.

> Elder Scrolls

The sheer seriousness with which that series takes itself and how ridiculously cringey it ends up being, due to broken AI and a host of other problems, is something of a hilarious meme:

If that's your idea of "anything modern" then yikes, pass.
