Thread 714901829

What am I in for bros. I played it briefly on the first Switch waaaay back in the day but I *hated* the degradable weapons and I couldn’t get past the 30fps. I literally have been waiting for seven years to play this game properly, and here we go.

I will just get over the degradable weapons I suppose and not even worry about it. I’m gonna try to think of them like ammunition in a Resident Evil game; since I enjoy those and don’t mind ammo conservation there.

Anyway, game looks amazing - like, if this were a launch Switch 2 title I wouldn’t even be mad. It was worth waiting for, especially since if I enjoy it there’s a whole ass sequel waiting for me. I’m gonna play it fairly blind, and see how far I get, but i apparently downloaded the companion app if I need some help finding shit

totk solved most of the weapon durability issue desu

>>714901829 (OP)
a good game. avoid the sequel though.

DLC is best purchased early if you want to add it, because most of the bonus outfits are outclassed by late-game items (because the DLC outfits can't be upgraded).
Plus the horse-summoning/Teleport circle features are nice QoL enhancements.
Overall, just have a good time, go anywhere you want.
Always check out a shrine when you see one, you don't need to complete it, but just activating it gets you a warp point.
Don't worry about actively looking for Koroks, you'll find enough as you go.

Time-wasting ubislop in a huge empty world.

>>714901829 (OP)
I "get" and don't "get" weapons degradation hate. I think it's a necessary game design evil. For the gameplay loop to encourage exploration and rewards. However, I also believe they should've had some NPC questline that gives you a key item that prevents a melee from breaking and you can take it back to the NPC for repair. Or there's a super long questline that unlocks a powerup that lets you instantly repair like 3 swords during one blood moon cycle, after you use up the repair the next blood moon resets your power and you can redo it.

The were many ways to bandaid this necessary evil with breakable weapons, that neither the DLC or Tears of Kingdom tried to repair. Here's an added tip, in both games you can build Link's house and you can place shields/sword for display, use these as extra inventory slots. I think it becomes more manageable by the mid game but the problem never really goes away, ie why use a good weapon against some shitter mob. The Master Sword is a halfway fix into this.

So if you want to tolerate the system just get The Master Sword ASAP and build Link's house for displaying bows/melees/shields as a bank for your rare weapons.

>durability
Youre meant to absolutely destroy any chance of fun and engaging gameplay by spamming bombs, thats why you get them so early(ATROCIOUS GAME DESIGN)
Im getting filtered by the gyro controls shrines, ran into 2 in a row, supposedly there are only 2...not sure about that. I am NOT buying another controller ever again and this old ds4 cant seem to get its gyro functioning again despite me never using it.

>>714901984
It made it worse

I liked it. I was it had less open empty areas though. Still pretty good

>>714902371
Not really? Tears I consider a sidegrade to the problem. In BoTW I hoarded my more unique melees (the elemental swords, higher tier damage stuff), in TOTK I hoarded the weapons I fused with big boy damage (+50 beat stick ores and monster drops). It's less of a pain in ToTK but still not the fix I wanted. Should've let Link regenerate a set number broken weapon per blood moon cycle as a sage power in the mid game.

>>714901829 (OP)
the weapon durability hate is artificial as fuck, the game drops weapons around every corner, you're supposed to be using them all the time. if anything, i love throwing weapons at the enemies, its satisfying as fuck.

>>714902371
Absolutely.

And OP there's this island that's basically a no man's land where all your weapons/armor are taken away from you, it's one of the most memorable locales in Breath of the Wild that's not in the sequel. Enjoy it. Peak caveman gameplay.

>>714902525
So you had to hoard weapons and materials instead of just weapons?

>game is cartoonish
“Wow this is fucking amazing. Wow this is so fucking epic. THIS is four kay.”

Totally organic

>>714902541
This is really just gaslighting. I ran out of weapons so many times and had to grind for more that it made the game so tedious.

>>714901829 (OP)
Kino (if you're white)

>>714902371
Nah. Fusing prolonged weapons way more and made killing enemies actually reward you instead of wasting weapons

>>714902701
>I ran out of weapons so many times and had to grind for more
this never happens. you can steal weapons from the enemies, you have to be retarded to run out of weapons.

>>714902671
Let's break it down.
>BOTW
You don't want to give up your best melee against shitter mobs.
>TOTK
You don't want to give up your best melee enhanced weapons against shitter mobs.

In both games you do get randomized fused melee loot drops (from enemy drops themselves or chests). So if you're carrying weapons with +40 damage you might see +20 damage drops from random enemy groups if you kill them. What TOTK did was allow you to use your enemy loot as +damage modifiers as a quality of life change, so you could use a generic shitstick and give it a +30 Lizard horn damage modifier. It's a bandaid but not really ideal solution.

The Master Sword is also unable to upgrade unlike BOTW DLC that gave it more endurance and power. One of the best changes they could've implemented was allow the Master Sword zero endurance penalty when hitting ore minerals or trees, but alas Nintendo said no.

Why do people even bother fighting enemies?

>>714902762
It made finding weapons more time consuming because not only do you have to find a good weapon you also have to farm materials then after that you have to waste more time fusing every weapon.

>>714902307
lol emulatorfag

>>714902902
>this never happens.
Don't gaslight people please, if you can't win an argument without resorting to that just don't post.

>>714902991
if you find this gameplay tedious then i really hope you never touch Skyrim.

>>714902946
God, the implementation of weapon degradation in these games in just utterly atrocious.

>>714903094
Why would I want to play skyrim?

>>714902991
You never need to farm, killing enemies in your way is more than enough

>>714903029
>no argument
falseflaggin shitposter.

>>714903237
>poster shares their own personal experience
>gaslighter: "this never happens"
Move along, pathetic troll.

>>714902902
For the most part I would agree, but it did happen to me once. When I was new to the game and went out exploring way too far in one direction, I found one of the 'harder' combat shrines where you fight only one robot. All my low tier weapons broke before the thing died and I had to resort to bomb throwing iirc. This was before I had enough seeds to upgrade my weapon capacity much.

>>714903179
They really need to go back to the way it was before because weapon durability is also the reason why the enemy variety was almost non existent

>>714903227
False, the weapons degrade and break from killing said enemies. It's a vicous cycle where I ended up without weapons many times and it really broke the gameplay loop and enjoyment.

>>714903358
>go to an area above my level
>enemies take longer to kill
yea no shit

>>714903447
they degrade and break but you get fuse parts back, what's the problem here? you just need a stick to fuse with and they are everywhere

GOATed Zelda. You will learn how to flurry rush 2 hours in. You will also get a camera one hour after that.

Lol. Some off-brand controller not working. What a shock. Do you know how many times Nintendo has updated the controller firmware by now? And BotW is game no. 1 on Switch. C'mon, think Mark!

>>714901829 (OP)
>What am I in for bros
Pure slop past the plateau.

>>714903726
thats not the first post

>>714903179
I don't mean to sound rude, but how would you solve it? Do you looter RPG like Diablos or looter shooter like Borderlands? In both of them the higher damage loot are nice for NG, but beneficial for NG+ enemy HP scaling. BOTW and TOTK have a dynamic difficulty tied to the number of dungeons you clear + heart containers (changes the colors of the enemies as an indicator). The problem is their poor implementation means in BOTW is quite easy to burn through melees fighting higher tier enemies only to get a shitter drop. They were on the right track with the master sword in BOTW. It glows blue when in the presence of Ganon bosses or Guardians to demonstrate it has a higher damage output, it should've been unlimited endurance with that higher damage buff added to those enemy types.

I dunno, I found it more annoying than botw because you now also have to farm another upgrade material to extend power you can give machines. Now you have low HP, low stamina and low battery. It's a fuck.

>>714901829 (OP)
shoulda started with the sequel imo, so u get the better experience, rather than it feeling like BotW+DLC+QoL

>>714903787
The plateau is the slop. Game would be at least twice as good if they let you climb down and skip the old man speeches. But Fujibayashi wanted to make sure you left with the quilted tunic or knowing how to cook because he's a hack.

Zora flippers should've been built-in upgrades to Link. All of the powerups from BoTW should've been in TOTK. Crossing rivers was faster in BOTW than Tears due to ice.

>>714903829
It was never a problem that needed to be solved. Other fantasy open worlds don't have this issue, it is only because of laziness. Same reason why there's practically no enemy variety, everything is copy pasted, korok seeds do nothing except expand your inventory and feed into durability in the worst way that just makes you dig around in your inventory instead of thinking on your feet, etc. The world is far too bloated with too little real content and the only reason weapons break is to serve as micro-rewards and to try and trick people into engaging in pointless combat that only serves to break and reacquire weapons.

>>714904086
The plateau is the only time it resembles a zelda game, but yes, being so blatantly locked down to it at the start is stupid.

>>714903789
It was the first truthful post.

>>714904941
newfag

>>714901984
No it didn't. It's still a completely pointless and annoying system. Plus ToTK introduced its own set of dogshit systems that needed way more time in the oven to be refined.
It's more content but worse content. Maybe that's overall an improvement for some people though.

>>714903829
There's an invisible system in the game that levels up the enemies when you kill enough of them. So just add a similar system where you can use monster parts or rupees or whatever to permanently upgrade your weapon. Hell, maybe even introduced a sidequest akin to the Goron trade sequence from OoT when the enemies level up since these games are so utterly fucking lacking in good sidequests. It was fine when the upgrades were permanent in the older games.

>>714905215
I've been here since 2014.

i really enjoyed it, clocked just over 100 hours in it

>>714901829 (OP)

what do you want me to say? you want to play it, you already have it and you say you're gonna play it blind
just go do that and leave this shit hole

>>714905389
A game doesn't have to be perfect for it to be enjoyable. I liked both of the games but they have their share of issues and the sequel missed plenty of opportunities to fix the original's missteps.

>>714905545
absolutely. but i think totk solved most of them, including weapons in my opinion. temples still being quite shit is unfortunate

Personally when I play video games I love being incentivized to skip combat because it’s not fun or worth it. Which is why this is the best game containing Ubisoft towers ever.

>>714905623
How though? The weapons still break and it's still easy to replace them. By the time you're halfway through the game you're completely swamped with good weapons and things to attach to them, so the act of them breaking is just a minor but pointless annoyance. Same as it ever was.

>>714905956
no because in botw there was no reason to kill enemies because you'd just lose your good weapons, then pick up shit ones dropped by trash mobs

>>714906026
See >>714905667

>>714906026
Literally same thing happens in totk

>>714906164
no, because you get fuse parts from trash mobs too, making it worthwhile to kill them, both upping damage and prolonging durability

>>714906026
Exactly, killing enemies made you worse off rather than better.

>>714906026
There is no reason to kill enemies in tears after a certain point because the durability system is still an infinite feedback loop that heavily favors the player and you never have to give much thought to the system. At least I didn't. There was practically never a time when I felt I needed to hoard weapons or save good ones for certain mobs because you get so many of them along with monster parts.

Plus I don't think there needs to be some contrived grinding system anyway. It's not an RPG and we already had the armor upgrades.

>>714906267
in botw yes

>>714906271
i dunno about a certain point, even towards the end i continued killing most enemies

>>714906271
>Plus I don't think there needs to be some contrived grinding system anyway. It's not an RPG and we already had the armor upgrades.
...which you needed to grind rupees for.

>>714904573
OP here, I’m at the Plataeu and this shit is frustrating as fuck. I gotta wander around this huge area and find these three shrines but one of them requires something to keep me warm or I die for even going near it - and I can’t recall anyone teaching me how to cook so now I’m off to google how to do it.

>>714901829 (OP)
>I’m gonna try to think of them like ammunition in a Resident Evil game; since I enjoy those and don’t mind ammo conservation there.
That's basically what it is, yeah. New weapons are easy to find, even the high end ones, so you just burn through them and pick new ones up no big deal. If you really really can't stand it you can always do a quick sneaking run through Hyrule Castle to loot a bunch of high end weapons that take much longer to break.

>>714906564
use your natural senses

>>714906503
So there was already a reason to kill monsters?

>>714906635
That shrine is the absolute peak of bore of the wild. You can either make a potion, carry a torch and light campfires along the way, or dress warmly. It’s downhill from there.

>>714901829 (OP)
It puts its strongest foot forward. Get on with the finale once you get bored of shrines. It isn’t worth doing all 120.

>>714902371
100% but now with added menus!
I actually really like BOTW but TOTK is slop

>>714906816
Yeah this is unfortunately true for Tears as well. The opening sky island and the game desperately trying to get you to do the wind temple first were pretty deliberate choices I think

>>714902701
THIS is gaslighting, only a fucking retard could run out of weapons. What are you doing with them, hitting rocks?

>>714906564
Imagine being too stupid for a Zelda game.

>>714901829 (OP)
>I literally have been waiting for seven years to play this game properly, and here we go.
you could've played on an emulator for free and removed/improved weapon durability mechanic to your liking years ago, for free, at 60fps in 4k (or whatever max your setup allows for) years ago

you still can, its quite easy to find builds of either emulator and the wiiu one as well

regardless its a pretty great game the first time around, 8/10 overall but its no Elden Ring, but dont let the tendies hear you say that

>>714906892
wind temple was by far the best, like not even close. the other temples were quite awful in comparison. the climb itself was the best part, and the boss theme

>>714907070
nta but i thought totk was very hard at points, i would get so bored with elden ring if i died over and over

Post your age right now. I'm genuinely serious and I mandate a mod to force you answer this question. You are googling how to get past the tutorial stage of Breath of the Wild. This is why Zelda games had nagging navigator tutorials for 20 fucking years and doing block pushing puzzles for 20 fucking years.

Did you know you can chop trees and make a torch to carry around to keep yourself warm? Did you know you can make your own campfires to skip time of day at any time with basic flint, wood, and a spark from any melee? Did you know these are intuitive things you do in real life and you might even experiment yourself?

Did you ask an AI how to solve this for you, zoomer baby OP? No wonder so many zoomers today can't make ramen soup, kids and young adults these days Jesus Christ this generation is so fucked beyond relief.

>>714907642
i didn't have any issues finding it, i saw a big tree with enemies on it and near it were some chilis

>>714907172
that's fair but also, sadly, an unironic skill issue

>>714907783
skill issue perhaps, i just don't like doing the same thing over and over again, i feel no excitement when beating it

>Zoomer OP having to google how to get pat the snow area in Breath of the Wild's glorified 2-3 hour tutorial
Western civilization has truly, utterly, fucking fallen. Billions of playtesters must be hired. DSPGaming was the prophet.

>>714907721
>Did you know you can chop trees and make a torch to carry around to keep yourself warm? Did you know you can make your own campfires to skip time of day at any time with basic flint, wood, and a spark from any melee?
Nope, because none of this is ever explained anywhere in the game or even so much as hinted at.

laugh at gachafags

>>714908292
what about... experimenting

if you didnt like it the first time you wont like it now.
time has only exposed the flaws

>>714908580
Genshin has vistas, quests, and a large variety of characters and puzzles to find and there's a feeling of completionism when you find all the stuff in a region unlike with BOTW which just feels empty when you find a chest or whatever. The rewards you find in chests aren't very interesting I agree but at least they have useful currencies in them.
>the sense of a holistic world is abandoned in favor of individual largely disconnected zones
Not sure why you're lying here.

>>714908646
The tutorial doesn't incentivize you to do so anywhere, anytime. Just admit it's badly designed, you're really grasping.

>>714902274
Nobody fucking said witcher 3 was 0/10 ubislop because it was open world and had item degradation (and fucking weight limits), and they only said that because it wasnt a nintendo game.
The idea of a "nintendo bonus" is fucking retarded because its literally only not okay when nintendo does it,fucking red dead came out at the same time and despite people pointing out that youll spend 30 minutes walking across a completely barren landscape to get to the next bit of life, nobody called it "dead world", but people will go out of there way to call botw and totk "dead worlds" because "all it has between myself and my point of interest are combat encounters, item pickups, collectables, and lore drops"

Basically, the hate for weapons breaking is because "I played ocarina as a child and that means everything that is different from ocarina is literal trash", since weapon breaking applies to even the master sword, they see it as an "insult" to the fucking fictional sword.
I fucking hate tendies so much.

>>714908789
the vistas and exploration is great in botw/totk

>>714908971
maybe it depends on you as a player, when i play a new game i just try anything, if you can grab things, damage things, etc

>>714908971
thats literally what its doing right now

>>714908292
Pretty sure you are told by NPCs about the flint thing but even if you weren't the flint description tells you what it does and you know sitting at campfires skips time because you can do so wherever they're placed by the game such as at the stables. The game doesn't literally pop a tutorial screen for every single mechanic and it's by design. You're supposed to power up as a player by expanding your knowledge and experience with the game world. Even despite that there's usually NPC dialogue all over the place that nudges you towards what you need or might want to do and if you didn't figure out that making fire makes you warmer I gotta wonder how you dress yourself up in the morning

this is now a purah thread

>>714909056
>the vistas and exploration is great in botw/totk
I don't agree with you there. I think the game has great graphics but the environmental design was very lacking. This is one of my favorite pictures and it's just a whole lot of nothing lol. And when it comes to exploration I want to find stuff or have new experiences. Genshin has excellent music and the aforementioned stuff while BOTW just feels dead most of the time.

>>714909504
i wish there was more 3d on model purah animations

>>714909145
Evidently for many players it doesn't. Try being less solipsistic.

>>714909561
i'd never play genshin because of ccp, but i had a lot of enjoyment out of botw/totk, just finding new areas was a joy to me

>>714909625

>>714909726

>>714909962
No as it's a very common word. Just attempting to get you to do some honest introspection.

>>714901829 (OP)
Weapon degradation isn't even that bad and I like the gameplay scenarios it creates. I know this is impossible to know on a first playthrough, but no weapon is so precious that you shouldn't use it, you will find more. Go wherever you want, get distracted, mark discoveries like bosses and minigames on your map to make things easier for you in the future.

I haven't used the Zelda Notes applet too much, but my first impression is that you shouldn't bother using it until post-game clean-up in which case it would be far more convenient than using a traditional guide.

Chill out sweaty. It literally is never explained in the game; meanwhile they interrupt my game to tell me the most basic shit and never even hint about other stuff. Cooking is such a core mechanic that they needed to have a brief tutorial for it, and it would have sufficed to have the old man say “there’s many ways to stay warm! Use your imagination.”

Instead it’s got all 400 lbs. of your gelatinous ass quivering in seethe. By the way, I’m in my 40s and have played a lot more games than you.

>>714911070
doesn't it hint about how to cook the first time you pick up something cookable

>>714909960

I played genshin for a couple of years and finally quit. It’s boring as fuck, and I spent waaaaaay too much on it over the years collecting characters - all for nothing. It’s pure Chinese slop, and the WORST fucking thing was the mandatory million lines of boring dialogue that FORCED you to read it slowly and not at your own pace.

Fuck Genshin, fuck Hoyo, and - pay close attention - FUCK THE CCP. Fuck all you stupid Chinese shills right in your ass. I’m OP and breath of the wild is frustrating but I’m already having a better time knowing the game isn’t gonna ask me to open my wallet again, and often.

>>714910092
Because it's free and retarded to let propaganda grip your brain that much.

>>714911290
Why did you play a game for years if you thought it was boring?

>>714911160

It did hint about it, which is why when I found peppers near the entrance to the ice area I was like - oh cool, time to cook. Except the actual buttons to do that were never discussed. Neat about the torch though.

I’m enjoying the realization that a lot won’t be explained to me - that’s been missing from Zelda for a while.

>>714911016
>Weapon degradation isn't even that bad
You're right, it's worse.

>>714911384
>>I'm choosing to enjoy my life less because ... china BAD
i would enjoy life less if i supported china (more) because i know i'll be contributing to their suffering

>>714911384
Because it’s literally got addicting gacha mechanics that psychologically punish you for missing characters and not playing; don’t act fucking stupid as to why people log into shitty CCP slop every day.

> muh global company.

Which is why the Chinese equivalent is the most important country in the game world, right? Which is why global players are constantly punished for CCP censorship. Fuck the CCP, and fuck Genshin. So glad I quit

>>714911384

Since it seems Genshit shills cannot help themselves and feel the need to invade a Zelda thread that HAS ZERO TO DO WITH THEM.

Dont think of it as a Zelda game. It's not a traditional one. It's a big exploration world, where you can go whereever you want, and the world mostly only scale when you finish temples, so you are fine doing the temple you want first. There is 700 Koroks to find, and they can be anything, anywhere, if it look like a Puzzle thing, it probably is. Look for patterns. While finding 700 is not needed, finding the max is good because it increase the amount of weapons and stuff you can carry.

Also, try to go blind. Finding weird stuff is the way to go.

Zelda has had fuckass gacha mechanics since the GBC.
