Most people don't find it fun at all. It gets in the way of actually playing the game. It's just needless busywork in a single player game.

BOTW's durability is a mixed bag for me but people always compare it to typical weapon durability in games like The Witcher but much like BOTW's towers aren't functionally the same as Ubisoft towers, BOTW's weapon durability isn't the same as the weapon durability in other games and it shouldn't be thought of as such. thanks for reading

The durability of the durability debate has broken. You can no longer debate about durability, you'll have to use one of your other topics of debate in your inventory.

Gripweed posted:I unlocked high level quests in Monster Hunter. Kicking you out in a random part of the map and not giving you supplies until like 10 minutes in to the quest isn't an extra challenge, it's just annoying. High Rank is when the game takes off the training wheels and expects you to bring your own supplies for the quest. Which you should, as you often can bring more and better stuff than the box ever provides. As for mounting; you need to hold R (or ZR if you swapped them) to hold on when the monster is thrashing around. When it tires and the meter is green, you mash X or A to fill it up. If you succeed, the monster will topple over and you get a bunch of free hits. I recommend reading the Hunter Notes in the menu. There's a LOT of useful info in there.

botw weapon durability is cool because finding new weapons doesn't quickly devolve into 'this new sword is either better than my current sword or it's completely worthless'

I loved every single aspect of Breath of the Wild from start to finish, top to bottom. It was, apparently, made for me. I played it every free waking moment with a huge loving grin on my face from the day I got it till the day I beat it. Obviously it's not perfect for everybody, but it was perfect for me. My $.02.

I got Diablo 3 for Christmas. I believe I read in this thread that there's a season component to it which would require both me and my partner to have Online for our accounts to do co-op online? Unlike, say, Mario Kart, where only my account needs the online subscription. Mainly my question is: is there enough there for us to enjoy then if we don't both have online?

Everything except seasons is accessible offline, Seasons are just the same game but everyone starts at level 1 and compete for clear time on end game content. There’s some small cosmetic bonuses and stash expansions for certain challenges but they’re hardly necessary.

BoTW durability was pretty cool but the game could've used some unarmed attacks or grabs. It feels kinda weird that they had this cool system for throwing and breaking weapons but if you attack without one equipped link just goes  Obviously it'd need to be weak or it'd defeat the point of durability. Plus they could've eliminated one of the lame spirit beast powers and given us a big Dark Messiah style kick to punt things off cliffs (on a cooldown or why use anything else).

A main component of the game, something encountered to beat the game, being "broken," is definitely when playability comes in to play.

Jim literally couldn't be arsed to figure out the map system in botw. And like others, he thinks his way (hoarding) is the only way. The game asks you to do something different and the game facilitates your success through the mechanic, the more you kill the stronger the weapon variants become. Folks try to hide behind the "options are good" line, but not really, especially if you're trying stick to a design. The only limitation to weapon degradation is not keeping a weapon, but using a weapon on an enemy gives you a weapon, and soon you're drowning in them. I do agree they need an unarmed option. Having to switch directly to another weapon is harder than it could be and at least an unarmed option would give you breathing room.

I could see them putting in more climbing equipment, I'd like to throw rope lines for mining on a cliff side. But playing rear end creed odyssey made me realize how much i loved stamina climbing. Put some thrill in the simple, taken for granted, action.

my main issue with weapon durability in BOTW is that it makes finding new weapons less exciting because they are ultimately just consumables. I think finding a new (permanent) weapon while exploring feels more rewarding, even if you don't necessarily end up using that particular weapon. I suppose it's the difference between discovering something unique in a specific spot in the world vs a consumable that you could find in multiple places (which is also why I think they should go with a smaller overworld in the next game)

I love the shrines as an impetus for exploration but they needed more unique treasures that you could find in between. also using a shrine as a reward for sidequests or overworld puzzles (like the spring of power) was always disappointing because those shrines didn't even have their own puzzles in them
