CharlieFoxtrot posted:Again, I mentioned this exact thing in my first post because out of all the things in BOTW, this is one of the things that feels so much bound up in different personalities to the point where I think it might be like a colorblind thing where we see the world completely differently and things are completely incommensurable and even reasoned language cannot traverse the gap because this thing about placing the markers on the map yourself makes no difference to me. If it does make a difference, it probably makes things worse. I hate the exploration in Breath of the Wild so much. I feel no joy in it, no discovery, it is a landscape of empty wastes and scattered variables. It is desolation. I didn't see that post. It probably is just a massive difference in perspective, then. For what it's worth, I actually don't terribly mind the Ubisoft towers--I think they're tired at this point, but if the process of climbing in a game is fun, then I want to do that anyway, so I don't mind climbing the tallest thing around just because I "have" to. That's the same for me in BotW: I like climbing, so I'm gonna climb those towers and look around whether I want to or not. I'm having a hard time seeing the desolation, I guess. I admit there isn't a long list of the kinds of things you can find, but I found something really satisfying about just going out and finding those things anyway. I liked looking for shrines or cool geography and marking them from the tower, then going out to go see them. I think I would've had a bit less fun if the map just filled in with a bunch of shrine and point-of-interest icons when I got to the top of a tower. They key for me is that, if I saw some geography that looked kind of interesting, chances are there was something there, and I was probably going to have at least a bit of fun getting there in the first place. But honestly, if the exploration isn't clicking with you, I don't think anyone would judge you for putting it down. Exploration is the absolute core of the game and if you're not enjoying that, I doubt the rest of the game is going to bring you enough joy to justify the time spent with it. oddium posted:i had a pile of my favorite weapons ready to constantly. the durability system might as well not have been there. it sucks I'll say this: it's too easy to break. By the time you can consistently kill the shrine guardians, for example, you can just always have a steady supply of ++ level guardian weapons and it only takes a couple minutes to go get more if you want them. And that does defeat the purpose, and I kept doing it anyway because I like cool laser weapons. That said, I prefer it to the likely alternative, in which you can't find super-cool late-game weapons early on at all because of the balance problems they'd cause, and in which you probably wouldn't have any reason to pick up and use enemy weapons. Maybe it's because I love Wind Waker so much, but it was exciting for me to see its "pick up dropped enemy weapons and use them" system actually used for something rather than being a sort of forgotten gimmick. I liked that I had a reason to pick up and use enemy weapons, and I kept doing it all the way to the end because the endgame bokoblin weapons were still stronger than the non-glowing Master Sword. I guess maybe the game could've had Diablo-style random loot so you want to pick up enemy weapons, but then I'd be stopping to look at stats constantly and that would suuuuuuuuck.

Slime Rancher is good, y'all. I've got a bunch of happy little tabbies and phosphor slimes bouncing around and they're cute as heck and I love them. These rock slimes are real good too but they're a bunch of rowdy chaps and I'd like it if they stopped trying to lay me out every time I enter their enclosure to harvest their poop.

There's going to be Nintendo World Championships this year, let's hope that means there's a new level creation game to go with it, if not Mario Maker Switch.

the durability system in zelda isnt inherently bad but things break way too quickly. if they broke slower and there was some mechanic where you could drastically increase the durability of few preferred weapons id like it

The more important question is: weapon durability in System Shock 2. I've been very pro-WD in SS2, because it adds to the tension and makes you be far more selective of which encounters you choose to go through with and which ones you don't.

make every game like oblivion where weapon durability exists but you can make it entirely pointless by carrying around a million hammers and hammering your equipment so much that you gain the ability to fix everything forever with one hammer

Weapon durability is dumb in literally every single game that uses it, no exceptions. Even in WoW oh my sword is 50% durability guess i'll pay a few gold and it's fixed wow what a dynamic interesting system

I was kinda hoarding weapons in BOTW for a bit but as soon as you realize the game is constantly dumping a bucket of weapons over Link's head at all times you can just sorta not care about it and use whatever It doesn't make that much of a difference since there's usually appropriately powerful weapons around somewhere when you're fighting more powerful enemies anyways

Endorph posted:durability is good in fire emblem thracia 776 because you can only buy crappy iron weapons so you have to beat enemies up and take their weapons constantly, so you have to look at enemy inventories and plan around weakening the guys with good weapons so you can capture them, as opposed to just beating everyone up It's weird how you said durability is good there but then went on to describe something that isn't good
