That concoction makes a lot of sense in a "teenagers use vague memories from health class & wrong information from infomercials to brew healing potion" setting, I'm impressed.

That was....really bad. Like he knew he’d get poo poo for not liking it much like BotW, so he decided to just double down on being obnoxious. There, now everyone hates it! I’m sure we’ll get another video or comment in a video about how it was a joke you guys. A joke. A very not serious thing that was clearly not meant to be taken seriously!

I was working on a post asking what was wrong with that episode, but I did get a yikes when he offhandedly compared people who “liked the weapon durability in BotW” to people going to the beach despite how it contributes to this plague thing we have. Other than that, he just really doesn’t seem to like the game, which is absolutely fine. I never understood the negative reaction to him disliking BotW as anything other than childishness (because honestly, why care?) but I didn’t follow him at that time. Did he make a lovely comparison fans of weapon durability back then, too?

I think I saw an article about this game in an old, now defunct Nintendo magazine over here. What an odd blast from the past Re: Nintendo mice, there was this weird space 4x called Utopia: Creation of a Nation, that for some reason was roughly ported to the SNES. As a kid, I was very baffled to learn that the game worked with my Nintendo mouse. I can't remember if that was even intended, or if Utopia just worked so much better with mouse control it didn't matter if the game wasn't programmed to use the Nintendo mouse. Back then I played Utopia about three times as long as Mario Paint, running through all available scenarios (the planets you have to colonize and defend) one by one.

gently caress I haven't thought about Utopia in ages. It was probably built primarily for mouse since the computer versions were all mouse driven but did controller support since nobody had a mouse. It had banging music on the Amiga.

I recently got World of Horror (great early access indie game), and I think I first heard about it from an internet video but I just can't remember or find it. it doesn't seem to be Errant Signal or Superbunnyhop, who were my first two guesses.

the weapon durability is actually fine if you do not have too good to use syndrome. just use whatever and don't care if things break https://twitter.com/shaun_vids/status/1242617649193979905 shaun's posted stuff along these lines a few times recently, I assume he's been getting an annoying amount of messages that aren't really relevant to him LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Mar 25, 2020 |

Durability is a different beast in each game. In botw it can make progression feel empty because there is no permanence whereas Animal Crossing isn’t that kind of game. Also you can eventually earn unbreakable tools in the latter. Of course if you just outright hate your poo poo breaking then these differences are not going to matter much.

in botw there's a ton of other permanent progression though. the weapon durability keeps you changing things up. not to a huge degree though since weapons aren't that different so it shouldn't throw things off too much. some people need to learn to be a bit more adaptable, you don't need to micromanage your weapons. you can just use whatever is dropped as you go about your business.

IronicDongz posted:in botw there's a ton of other permanent progression though. Sure there's more permanent progression but little of it is exciting. 3/4ths of the abilities from killing the great beasts are pretty meh, increasing your equipment slots wouldn't matter without durability so that hardly counts, more hearts have always been the least possible exciting upgrade in Zelda games, stamina is a little more fun to get but not amazingly so. It's mostly just armour upgrades that really felt good to get and they are very few and far between, at least if you're focusing on one or two sets that you like as seems sensible. But in previous Zelda games getting your sword upgraded/getting a new sword felt awesome. You felt so powerful afterwards it was great. And there's just not really anything like that in BotW. However despite all that my biggest problem with it is just that if you find some of the weapon types unfun to use you're boned. It would be way too tedious to really keep a stock of just your favourite weapon types so you just have to use what's nearby. And if the only nearby weapons with any decent damage are giant sluggish ones the combat is going to be, for me at least, incredibly unfun.

I don't own Breath of the Wild or Animal Crossing but I just assume that by the different natures of the games in general that your axe breaking in AC is a lot less obnoxious than it is in BotW since you're not really doing a ton of combat. I'm also going to foolishly assume that you get a good 30 or so swings from even the basic twig and leaf axe as well to mitigate things.

It’s a bit weird because there are now two axes: one that chops down trees like always, and one that will chop wood (a new item since they added crafting) but leaves the tree in tact. The second-level axe lasts a decent enough amount of time, but you do have to craft the basic one (which lasts for maybe five trees) to get the better one, which is annoying. What bums me out is how many characters have been cut for basic quality of life stuff. Yes, it is easier to use a mirror in your house to change your character’s look, but it means losing the poodle lady who runs the hair salon in previous games. It feels odd, because losing too much of that strips the game of its charm.

I haven't been picking up a ton of new crafting games lately but it always bugs me playing games where you're expected to be making stuff and they're really stingy about giving you items. Or just the whole 'one item per chest' thing. Bloodstained is the one that comes to mind, since you can cook but you can only get one fruit from an enemy at a time. If you killed a harpy and they dropped five lemons that'd really speed things along. Also not having recurring characters doesn't feel right at all. I thought that was one of the main points of Animal Crossing. Why else would people hold a grudge for that scummy bastard Nook if he wasn't always there?

It feels odd, because losing too much of that strips the game of its charm. Animal Crossing is charm at a cost. Sure, you can have the poodle lady, but some people want the change now without a bunch of extra menus. There's an excitement to "Oh boy, I can't wait to see what my museum is gonna look like when I wake up tomorrow!", but a portion of the player base has literally already beaten the "campaign" through time travel and has terraformed their island to exact specifications so they can start "playing." It's a balancing act to satisfy the people who want instant Sims money to build a mansion while staying true to design philosophy, and sadly, sacrifice comes with that.
