Zelda was more fun though
Zelda would have been even more fun if it was available on every platform instead of just Nintendo.
The same can be said for many games over the years then, but I don't like thinking that way.
If there's a game I want to play, I'll get the hardware needed to play it
That's it, I never played Nintendo games because I never had their hardware. For me personally it's just not worth getting into their closed ecosystem. Basically same reason I never had anything apple.
It's available on PC.
PC gamers even got it before nintendo ones.
I only played the unpatched version with the dupe glitches, that was super fun.
its not insane unless you're doing completionist stuff, you can easily cap a few sets of armor for key purposes just with chest loot and some monster mashing. I created a second game on another user account after my first game (with duped gems, etc) and its not really grindy until you try to max out like a third set of armor.
you can get most of the battery cell upgrades by opening chests from exploring (and where the chests are becomes obvious if you collected a few old maps) and following the main story. The problem is exploring the depths isn't all that fun. I never even used duping to get battery in my original game- by the time I explored the depths fully I was maxed out.
Genuinely curious which game has more "Hours Played". I'm willing to put money down on it being Zelda.
