The Moon Monster posted:If not for the durability system you would have no reason to experience the weapon system's cornucopia of diversity like sword, big sword, and big sword with lower numbers. I can't overstate how bad this reasoning is even in games that do have a good variety of options. If I like your game enough, I'll eventually experiment on my own. I was like 200 hours into Dark Souls 3 before I did a strength / ultra weapons run, prior to that I was all about faster, safer weapons. And if I don't like your game, taking away the option I enjoyed the most is not going to win me over. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Apr 5, 2018 |

the botw weapon durability is bad for a lot of reasons. what's good though is the dlc saddle that autoteleports your horse to you and also the very good dlc armors that's my new "bad thing good thing" style of post, please enjoy

Shrines, which serve as the nexus of player progression, exploration/quest rewards, and dungeon gameplay are very bad at their job and in fact make botw a big turd

I enjoyed shrines and especially the fact that I could bookmark them and fast travel to one and knock it out when I had 15 minutes to spare because I am an Adult With Limited Gaming Time and my gaming tastes have changed

The weapon durability in BotW was one of if not the least obnoxious version of weapon durability, but it still sucked. I can understand why they did it; BotW is a game all about figuring stuff out and using all the tools the world gives and they wanted to encourage people to use as many weapons as possible so it's their way of forcing that. The problem is that if you're the type that usually doesn't try out all the weapons and switch between them, then it's just aggravating and you spend your time holding on to the weapons you really like or worrying they're going to break. Meanwhile, if you would have switched anyways, the durability still doesn't add anything. It's a system that tries to force a way of playing and if you don't want to play that way, it makes the game less fun. Also the best Zelda game in the past 20 years is Okami, don't @ me

Weapons breaking blasting you and the enemy away and throwing weapons to kill a dude and having them explode is cool aside from all the other less cool points

I liked the weapon durability in BotW. And the shrines. It was a solid 100/100 game imo. Once-in-a-decade quality for sure.

First of all Okami isn't even a Zelda game, it's developed by Capcom. Second it's the third best Capcom Zelda game behind the other Zelda games they did make. Okami doesn't even have Zelda in the title.

The durability system in BOTW is fine if you don't get hung up on stupid poo poo like killing every single monster you see when you first run into them, tho it would've been cool to have a high level feature where you can use resources (like star frags or dragon scales or something) to make weapons indestructible; late in the game the durability system is completely irrelevant because tons of monsters have good weapons, you can go anywhere to loot them from their spawns quickly, and you have the Master Sword so eventually I don't think there's any substantive harm in letting people use a katana forever if it's very important to them The durability system in fact makes that latter thing one of the most Epic Winning power-ups in gaming history, on par with the Lordvessel in Dark Souls or the Soul of Bat in SOTN, because it fundamentally changes how you engage with and experience the game BOTW: good

It's weird to me that people bitch about grinding blood vials in Bloodborne but seem perfectly fine with grinding g good weapons in BotW. BB has such better combat than BotW it's insane but whatevs Also Okami might be might favorite game to a degree that it's hard for me to have a reasonable conversation about it

I played that game for over a hundred hours and never had to do anything like that and can't imagine why you ever would. The blood vial problem in BB usually occurs for new players that are still struggling with the combat. They get caught in a cycle of death where they use all their blood vials without accomplishing anything and have no choice but to grind more. It sticks out as a particularly bad mechanic since Dark Souls basically solved this issue with estus flasks, so for them to take a step back was baffling.

In Bloodborne I liked the flexibility that having so many blood vials at once brought and I liked playing the game enough that taking the occasional 10 minutes to grind for blood vials want a thing that bothered me. Nioh does have both in place though in that shrines will bring you have to a certain amount but you can get to have more at once. It does however add the annoyance of resetting how many elixirs shrines give you when you go to a new region, connecting getting more to a hidden collectable that you also need to grind elixirs. Side note: I decided my favorite enemy in Nioh is the Umbrellas. They are oddly adorable
