Which mechanic was more annoying?


Two very controversial mechanics from popular Nintendo games.

Tripping easily. At least weapon breakage you can plan for.

Tripping was so dumb.

Weapon durability felt like Nintendo was copying other devs but only the shitty features lol.

at least weapon durability gave you a reason to try lots of different weapons, and it felt good upgrading your inventory and having a diverse stash

tripping... was... uhhh supposed to be funny? i guess? i honestly have no fucking idea what sakurai was thinking

weapon durability was worse, IMO.

really shitty mechanic.

tripping was also annoying, but it could at least be funny when it happened to someone else.

Tripping easily. Smash is a PvP game. BotW is a PvE game. That alone makes tripping FAR worse

I eventually got used to durability and now I love it.

Tripping infuriates me every time it happens.

Tripping was a pointless mechanic.

At least you can say for BotW that weapon durability, despite generally being a shitty feature in games, was built-in to the game's fundamental design and therefore many aspects of the game are designed to eventually make it a non-factor.

I have nothing else to say

Durability was a great mechanic. It meant that you have to always stay resourceful.

Most people who complain about it are just letting their OCD ruin their game experience. I'm an item hoarder to, but when you get that good sword in BotW, you gotta just use it. It's not that big of a deal. Swing it around, let it break. Pick up something new.

Except for triple shot bows. I'd NEVER waste durability on a triple shot bow!

every time you tripped you knew that there was no fucking reason to put that shit in the game and yet they did it anyway.

Sack did it to make sure you couldn't play the game how you wanted to.
Weapon Durability is never fun but I guess you could argue they were trying to put you into the scavenger mode mentality and nudge you in the right direction.

The malice behind tripping puts it leagues ahead even if it's much more trivial to the average player.

Durabilitys fine and fun unless everything you pick up may as well be made of tissue paper.

Tripping was annoying, but not Gamebreaking

Weapon Durability absolutely disqualified BotW from being anywhere near "GOTF". Maybe they'll fix it in the sequel so that won't be as embarrassingly laughable.

Tripping was dumb, but it never really bothered me. It didn't happen very often and it never turned the tide of a battle for me.

Durability is terrible. It could have been better if items were more durable, but some big metal fucking swords are breaking after like 10 hits. It's ridiculous.

Tripping in a nut shell: I was enjoying a tight 1v1 with a friend, I load up a smash attack, they go to dodge behind me but instead trip and I won even though they outplayed me in that moment. We just kind of exchanged glances and then I said, "Well, that sucked." "Yeah."
I couldn't even feel good about winning that. They hadn't made a mistake, a RNG arbitrarily decided they should trip into my smash attack and die.

I personally don't mind either, but I can sympathize more with people who play Brawl in a somewhat competitive manner because tripping undermines that a little bit.

Tripping is random.

Weapon durability can be planned for and avoided.
