I feel like Morrowind balances it out pretty well since you dont even need to carry around repair hammers since repair prongs exist. Ultimately the mechanic is useless since it becomes nothing more than a minor inconvenience that simply punishes those who dont want to prepare for adventure. My beef is mostly with item durability with no way to repair, overly expensive, tedious/difficult to do. My BIGGEST issues are games where the items HP degrades super quick and you have to keep repairing it CONSTANTLY. I find minecraft suffered from this where repairing is expensive and so you just carry around 10 stone picks to mine.

>>714195503
This singlehandedly made me hate New Horizons. Axes made sense in previous games because they did the hardest job and it prevented you from doing a stupid and deforesting your town without serious consideration. But why the fuck do bug nets and fucking watering cans break? Why would you waste your fucking time and resources on gold tools if they just fucking break? It makes no goddamn sense.

>>714198475
No it's a half-assed measure that neither promotes walking on foot nor gives the full benefit of easy fast travel.

>>714196806
I have become demoralized since the secrets behind every waterfall trend is dying. I also hate how modern games simply try to explain to you the entire story through audio logs/notes. Where they are placed in every fucking room and breaks up the pacing of the game because you need to stop every 5 seconds. I like half-life because of how the story is presented to you.

It's something to balance and consider. I think if your game has a limited inventory system and you do genuinely need to consider what to bring with you or the risk/reward, it's fine. Some survival games do this but usually by the late game of those, you're usually so stacked up on important shit that it doesn't matter anymore.

I hate it when indie games do the darksouls thing where you drop money where you die and you can pick it back up in that spot.
this very iconic thing, has absolutely zero value in 90% of games because who in the fuck isnt going to just throw themselves at a boss many times in a row until they beat it? especially in a soulslike?
its usually not even about the money dropped, when I eventually die I need to beat the boss to progress so....it adds nothing to the interaction. its actually better to lose your loot and not pick it up every single rematch so you can just focus on the boss.

I fail to see how this adds anything to these games at all, even darksouls itself. best case scenario it just adds nothing to the game, worst case is it will discourage you from exploring and you are stuck there. thats not a good thing in your adventure game.
it begs the question how much money do you need to have on the line to make this mechanic serve any real purpose? and how stupid must you be to walk into a boss room with too much money to risk losing? does it just punish people not paying attention?

What, have you even played REV2? The companion is literally immortal and cannot die, and her crowbar does a fuckton of damage (and even more once upgraded) so the game can be trivialized by just playing as the partner and facetanking (and also sneak attacking whenever possible).

>>714208243
Tell me why she gets knocked down and I need to get her ass up frequently. I didn't know that about the crowbar, I tried facetanking some of the freaky zombies with it and she took like 6 swings to kill one

>JOIN OUR DISCORD/GIVE US YOUR EMAIL TO GET FREE STARTER BONUSES

>>714208315
Both Moira and Natalia are immortal, their health can go down but regens very quickly, and while they can be knocked down they'll never die. So basically park Claire somewhere else and then sneak around, get some insta-kills with the stealth take down mechanic, then facetank the rest. Use the flashlight to stun them first, obviously.

>>714196256
This is how it should be

>>714208767
Moira can stealth kill? Does she regen health even when you are controlling her? How do you handle the big masked fucks with hammers that took ages to flashlight stun?

Pretty sure there's a tutorial for this, that's the whole point of her crowbar.
>Does she regen health even when you are controlling her?
Yes, it kicks in after a few seconds.
>How do you handle the big masked fucks with hammers that took ages to flashlight stun?
Their weak point is on their back below the neck. Stun them with the flashlight, then go around and hit the weak point.

Maybe I actually just don't like MMOs or MMORPGs, but I don't like doing dailies. It often makes playing the game feel like a chore, especially with these older mmos that were developed when subscriptions were an actual thing. When I reach the point where I'm doing more daily shit then actual progress or questing that's when I quit.

>>714196493
I feel like stamina can make the combat interesting depending on how it's handled.
Khazan for instance is interesting where you can sometimes stun-lock the boss, only limited by your stamina so learning your own moveset to optimise your moves can add some depth, and adding in that enemies have their own stamina bar that can also be used to reset your own when you exhaust them, it gives a certain flow to the combat.
Something like Wukong on the other hand feels like it has stamina just because other games do. That game only gets saved because there's so many ways to increase stamina regen that it basically stops existing once you get to chapter 3.

>>714213569

I wish so many more ganes had ng+

Just because games want to be movies these days doesn't mean they have to be as short as one

a lot of shooters still have the problem of the starting pistol being the best weapon in the game simply because of its abundance of ammo or infinite ammo to clean up most enemies. Where every other weapon is simply reserved for those special encounters.

>introduce a new class that breaks from the classic rpg classes

>>714205328

But, it is a perfectly sensible and valid reason. It does make battles more dynamic and forces variation in your weapon usage. That is a good thing, but you don't have to like it.

Yea, because it's the easiest, cheapest way to hook players.
Just make the number go up slightly and they'll keep doing boring shit that they would never find enjoyable otherwise.
If you take away the experience points and unlocks, you would find the actual activities are not fun. It's work, not play.

I hate this. I work out 5 times a week, but I'm not some min max try hard. Still I can run 30 minutes straight.

ME3 multiplayer, pizza runners were Drell (25% faster), Krogan (Headbutt was faster and didn't drop the pizza), and Asari backward 'ports (which DID drop the pizza, but at the end of the 'port unlike every other 'port in the game).

>>714195503
i like how it was handled in darkwood but the problem was that you don't get more resource-intensive weapons until later on and by then the game floods you with way too much shit
i was expecting the pressure of resource management and having to pick your fights at day so you know you have enough durability to make it through the night
the devs made the game too easy

>>714207709
I FUCKA DA PIZZA

>>714219082

>>714219395
Darkwood is really badly balanced when it comes to this. You are almost resource starved the first two areas so surviving nights quickly becomes pure fucking hell, then suddenly the game starts shitting stuff all over the place for you and you are leaving weapons behind because you can't even carry them.

Breakable weapons you can repair by dismantling other equipment / scraps that has a exponential scaling value loss (as in it takes significantly more to repair the more it's broken / lower durability) would absolutely have gameplay depth and you'll either sacrifice more valuables to keep using your one gun or spend less repairing 2-4 other guns that took more spread out durability damage.

Hell you don't even need them to break at that point, making 1% durability the lowest it goes with big ole downsides like damage/jamming/non-functional addons/ect with a massive repair cost would do it. You'd just need either vendor repairs (at an additional cost) or workbenches be the very few places you can repair your guns at.

people keep bringing this up for BotW but I don't remember ever once going out of my way to get new weapons, the game is easy as fuck already that you can beat it with any shit weapon and you pick stuff up all the time just playing organically. There's plenty of other flaws to pick at but this one never made sense to me.

Its true that there is plenty to pick up, but most of it is trash that only has enough durability to take out maybe 2 guys before you gotta switch. The constant scramble of breaking and finding gets very tedious mid fight, particularly if you are the not the most prepared. Its mostly an end game problem.

Todd might be a lying bastard but he isn't a cheat when it comes to looting rights. If you see an enemy wearing power armor it's yours.

I just don't get why they couldn't implement a repair system. Without it, using rare weapons feels bad, and cool-looking yet fragile weapons really suck cause you're limited on inventory slots. Another nice thing would have been when a weapon breaks, instead of disappearing it becomes an unusable item in your inventory. You could either drop it it's something you don't care about, or hold onto it if you do until you can repair it later.

I could make a lengthy diatribe about why I really dislike the BOTW item system and how just a few tweaks would have made it much better while maintaining the feel of the game they were going for.

why cant someone just come up with a new durability mechanic that actually changes what everyone hates about it?

just my idea
>durability isnt a short term thing where your weapon breaks with little investment, its now a long term thing with lots of investment
>your gear can be very well mantained for like 10-30~% better stats. Getting it to that state is costly, but it stays that way for a pretty nicely long time, like a good long expedition or two, unless you come across some hazard that fucks your durability a-la DS2
>your gear can be in average maintenance, it has normal stats but it takes a really long while to degrade into poorly mantained
>after a really long time of poor treatment it eventually reaches a crappy state where its at 70-80~% of its effectiveness, its perfectly fine and usable but you probably dont want this to happen and would rather invest a reasonable ammount so it stays at a medium level instead
This fixes the issue of people complaining about it being a boring repetitive timewaste that adds nothing to the game as its always too cheap without anything interesting involved, you fixed the issue of it being frequent enough as to get on the way of entertainment, and you added a mechanic that many players actually enjoy instead of having more fun if it was removed, you added more potential for interesting bonuses, generic dumb bonuses like "infinite durability/cant be repaired/etc" become more interesting, and so on
If people find issues with that then at least youre fucking going somewhere, instead of making the exact same dogshit mechanic that has been done for years and years

>>714251507
I've never encountered a item limit on PC games, usually old RPGs on cartridges. how much space can each unique item take?

i really dont think the size of your inventory is much of a concern for savefiles in most of these games. whoever made them just thought it worked better that way
iits also compatible with storing items as a single entry of an array with a number attached to it indicating how much you have. Like 6 separate medkits in your inventory could just be a structure like 'medkit, 6'
if its one of these games that have a grid-like inventory, you could have a separate string or a sequence of numbers that represents how stuff is organized in it

Mana poison, weapons enchanted with drain magicka and shock spells work very well at gimping enemy mages though

>Boss can regen health even if it hit your shield that absorb all the damage

>You get her rune and its a crappy rally version

Elden cringe rune system sucks only godrick / morgot are good runes, also malenia its a joke if you remove her regen gimmick and its already fair against shields cause second phase rot

>>714256131
yup also the retarded not healing wounds with potions cause some faggots complained it make the game easy chugging potions so you get bonfire but also that can fuck you in the gay endgame world

I’m still mad New Horizons golden tools are breakable
What’s the fucking point then?

>nor gives the full benefit of easy fast travel
No game should ever give you the full benefits of fast travel. It's basically "journalism mode" but for travel

This. It dosnt add to the realism it just serves to make the player fast travel to drop shit off.
>hurr durr stop hoarding!
How about suck my dick faggot? I wouldnt pick everything up if it weren't for multiple games cucking you out of special items for not grabbing shit out of single crevice of the game.

>but certain powers completely ignore this special defense because ???????
what the FUCK were gungeon devs thinking?

>the retarded not healing wounds with potions cause some faggots complained it make the game easy chugging potions
why are you blaming people complaining about a bland system, and not an incompetent developer making something even shittier?

>>714198272
durability systems are retarded when you cant maintain your gear by yourself

>>714196806
>>lose relations with an NPC if you ask them if they have jobs but then decline to do it because it would be too far out of your way or skillset
This shit pisses me off the most.
>Oh you want a job do ya? Go and kill these fifty high level enemies while your best weapon is a rusty spoon
>Can't do it? Always knew you were a fag, get out of my sight
Jesus man I just wanted to slay a few goblins.

>used to have infinite slots
>look up why
>saving the game creates another copy of the ENTIRE 50GB GAME and puts it in another folder
>people kept complaining about the crazy memory usage and saves corrupting
>so the devs made it save like a normal game and gave you 3 save slots
>jk saving still redownloads an entire copy of the game, they just limit you to 3 because past that is when things get fucked

>>714265406
what in the god damn

>>714265406

>>714265551
