glam rock hamhock posted:Remember those game boy final fantasy games where literally everything had durability, including your fists? At least I don't think I've ever seen anything every get quite as bad as that. i just remember robots would repair their weapon's durability at an inn, but would permanently lower the weapon's durability by half when it was equipped on them as a balance. except, that was every time the weapon was equipped, so by removing and adding a weapon to them repeatedly you could easily disintegrate a weapon into uselessness. obviously the solution is "don't do that" but just the fact that you COULD do that if you wanted to left even 7 year old me feeling like it was a really loving stupid implementation Cowcaster fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Aug 8, 2017 |

I like to imagine that the martial skills were cheap pamphlets that showed you how to punch and after approximately 100 punches the thing is falling apart and you can't remember how to punch without checking it.

At a certain point for some reason they made Wiley's final phase the same for every game (after 4 I think?) with the stupid disappearing pill ship. Lame!

At least I don't think I've ever seen anything every get quite as bad as that. Yeah and they also had *limited inventory space* so they must be gamer poison which is a shame because they own. Also let you save literally anywhere for a GB game which was great, especially because that game has 100% random encounter tiles and if you save the game on one you literally get pulled into an encounter when loading your game.

I don't think SaGa Frontier had it, but Romancing SaGa did I think. The games are great despite that, though.

My first trek through BotW's snowy areas was done by relying on a flame sword I couldn't risk actually fighting with much, which was fun enough to justify the durability system to me.

Dr Cheeto posted:Slime Rancher: is there any downside to just shoving a huge pile of food into an enclosure and leaving it? Does food spoil? It doesn't spoil, no, but if you leave food on the ground for long enough it'll eventually turn a brownish color and then start shrinking, and once it's shrunk enough it'll just poof out of existence. It's a really generous time limit though. Sucking the food back up and then spitting it out resets its lifespan iirc in case you have to leave food on the ground somewhere to clear inventory space or something.

I think what BotW's durability system needed in order to really shine would be a combination of a shallower power curve, and more different weapon types. If you cared less about your weapon's attack power (because it doesn't scale that high in the first place) and more about the specific properties of each weapon, its range and speed and any projectiles it shoots or other things like that, then I don't think it'd feel like you just need to stock up on the best weapons always. Less incentive to keep going to the same places to stock up on the strongest weapons, and more variety as you use and break the weapons you find. I dunno, maybe that wouldn't be any better, but I think it'd be a step up.

Tying damage only to the weapons instead of a factor in tandem with another system like character level for instance is a big part of why it is an issue.

DmC is meh.. Like the fact the remastered version is only for the PS4. I"m not sure if the upgrades are in the PC version but I never liked the Heavenly Sword inspired combat, with the whole Angel/Devil attack. Like the whole Dante looking like the director was a joke and I thought that was funny. Most of the negative reception was not because of people going not my dante, (at least I like to think so, not that there is hard evidence for this basis) it was journalists being jackasses with their dumb pieces like man it's so cool how the director doesn't care and god it's so great making gamers mad. I never liked Ninja Theories combat. Heaven Sword was meh, DMC was meh, I wouldn't' be surprised if Hellblade is the same. NT's saving grace is their mocap work and Andy Serkis, other than that not really a developer I keep my eyes on. The story of DMC was nothing to rage over, it was pretty much NT writing. They always put a sidekick character in their games. I can't think of ONE they haven't (maybe Hellbade doesn't) I mean I found it funny how they were poking a little fun at fans with the whole white hair not in a million years thing and they end up doing it at the end anyways.  That and the final fight Vergil also sucked. Shindragon fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Aug 8, 2017 |

Less incentive to keep going to the same places to stock up on the strongest weapons, and more variety as you use and break the weapons you find. I have never farmed for a weapon or returned to areas to get specific weapons. I take what enemies drop and toss poo poo if there's something better in a chest. If I need more strength I've got an inventory full of potions that do just that. Tying damage to character levels or abilities will drive the game in the direction as the Bethesda games where it becomes impossible to balance content without scaling everything to your character. This leads to ridiculous scenarios like a bandit wearing full plate or a rat that could decimate an army. The key to Zelda's design is that the world has a consistent rulset with the monsters and Link basically on the same level in relation to each other. What sets them apart is the equipment. And I think that's great design. You can adjust the difficulty by focusing more or less on hearts or wearing different armor. People will say there's no reason not to wear the Champion's Tunic but a level 1 tunic is the same defense as most of the other shirts and to get to level 2 you have to deliberately farm dragons, a time consuming process that I didn't discover until reading a spoiler and don't want to bother with at all because I have other poo poo to do in the game.

If I need more strength I've got an inventory full of potions that do just that. I don't think tying damage to character levels or abilities is a good call, either. What I would have preferred is a shallower power curve--enemies don't scale up in HP as much as they do in BotW now, and you don't scale up in damage as much. That way, the power of your weapon doesn't matter nearly as much as it does now, and it's even more inviting to just pick up and use what you find. You're right that you definitely don't have to go farm specific areas for specific weapons, but it's very easy to do and even though I like the durability system, I still did it. Knowing that the next time you run into a Lynel you've got a good stock of 45+ damage Guardian++ weapons ready to go is a nice bit of insurance, y'know? Especially when enemy HP starts to reach into the thousands, having high-damage weapons with decent durability on-hand is important enough that I think it's rational to go out of your way sometimes to make sure that you do. To go with my suggestion, I think armor upgrading can go away. If damage doesn't scale super high like it does in BotW, there's no need for your armor values to scale all that high, either. Actually, ditching armor values entirely would be fine, because enough sets have unique effects that I think there are more interesting decisions to make than "how much does this reduce the damage I take" already. Just removing defense from the equation and balancing weapon damage in accordance with that would be great. I'm absolutely not advocating Bethesda-izing the game. In fact, I'm advocating quite the opposite: doing away with the idea of a steep power curve in the first place so that scaling isn't even really an issue.

I didn't mind the weapon durability in BotW the first time through, but it's extremely limiting in master mode. I was legitimately excited to get the master sword cause that meant I could start fighting enemies in Hyrule Castle

is it better that the toys transformers was based on already existed and they were like "hey let's make a 30 minute commercial for these sick toys", rather than all the other shows where they decided to make the commercial first and then toys based on that? Probably IMO
