Current Events > What are the arguments from people who dislike Breath of the Wild

(+) Yeah! (+)

No it isn't, especially when no one can actually explain how it's a detriment to the game.

I understand that perfectly fine. What I don't understand is why no one can articulate why they hate weapon durability in BotW. I don't understand why people say it ruined the game. I don't understand why it's basically the #1 complaint about the game when objectively it's 100% a nonissue.

Yes.

No.

Yes, you did. You wanted to hoard boomerangs for some reason. I suppose that's something, and thank you, but it's really obscure and I doubt most people complaining about durability are doing so because they want all the boomerangs.

So, like, has the entire topic been about that guy desperately looking for a fight and using the word "objectively" in every post?

I dont have an issue with the weapon durability but even I can accept these guys have made some valid points as to why it didnt work for them.

What part of "it wasn't fun" do you not get? If I don't have fun doing something that's supposed to be fun, that's all the reason I need to say it's not fun. I don't need to write an essay or explain to you why I didn't like it because it wasn't fun is all the reason anyone should need to not like something in a game.

Again, you're acting personally offended that other people didn't think weapon durability was fun.

Stop acting like you're trying to win a debate.

Like a dozen people have clearly expressed why they dont like the mechanic at this point.

I didn't want to hoard boomerangs, I wanted to be able to use at least one indefinitely.

You know the really funny thing is how TheOtherMike keeps insisting that everybody is required to elaborate

Quote where I said anyone is required to do anything.

Again, this doesn't actually explain how the durability system interferes with or impedes gameplay. I'm asking you why you don't like it, and you're replying with "I don't like it" as if that explains anything.

Because it objectively isn't? "I don't like it because I don't like it" is circular logic. I'm asking for the reason. When I dislike a gameplay mechanic, I can articulate why. I'm just asking for the why.

Which part of those quotes says people are required to answer any question I ask?

The part where you tell them that the reasons they're giving "aren't good enough" and they need to go into more detail or it doesn't count.

How is that relevant to anything? Whether and why I like the mechanic has nothing to do with my original observation and question.

"You have to explain the reason you don't like it, but I'm under no obligation to explain why I do like it."

"You have to explain the reason you don't like it, but I'm under no obligation to explain why I do like it."

Again, quote where I said anyone has to do anything.

Also, quote where I said I like it.

But once again I understand subtext

it's pretty easy to work out what your stance is.

I'm asking a question, not trying to start arguments.

You literally entered the topic trying to start arguments and haven't stopped since lmao

You inventing meaning where there is none is paranoia.

Great game. I will never understand why people threw such a fucking tantrum over the literal non-issue of weapon durability. If you were constantly running around without weapons it would be one thing, but it's impossible to not be so overloaded that you're leaving weapons behind throughout the entire game.

It's really not. There's 3 main weapon types, swords, 2h swords, and spears. Aside from their appearance and damage, every weapon functions exactly like every other weapon of the same type. Their appearance is purely cosmetic, so literally the only difference between one sword and the next is how hard it hits. There's never a point where it's necessary in the slightest to go hunt down specific breakable weapons for a couple extra points of damage.

Yeah, that's just a you problem. Boomerangs fucking suck. And, for the record, unless you're throwing them, they swing exactly like swords. So they're literally swords that behave differently when thrown.

Your first post in the topic was an inflammatory statement that you hoped would get people riled up enough to respond to you.

Nobody took the bait so you replied to another person for the express purpose of disagreeing with and "correcting" them.

And your third post was criticizing somebody else for having a preferred weapon type that they wanted to be able to use more often in the game.

So, yes, you absolutely did enter the topic trying to start arguments and never stop.

I choose the second option because conversing with you is proving actively dangerous to my brain cells.

Right. But I'm the one being inflammatory and trying to start arguments. Totally.

Can you clarify whether you like or dislike weapon durability?

I'm mostly indifferent to it. It works well with how the game is structured. I usually don't even notice it because it's implemented pretty seamlessly.

What does that have to do with anything?

the longer a topic goes on, the more likely a dumb arguement happens that never ends because people need the have the last word

So, youre saying that you didnt notice that your weapons broke regularly?

Its great that it didnt bother you, but it clearly bothered other people and that their experience wasnt the same as your subjective experience.

Im not allowed to ask questions?

It's like the most acclaimed game ever. It solo carried an entire E3 for nintendo >_>

Your reason for liking it boils down to I like it because I like it

so Im not sure why you expect a masters dissertation explaining why they dont like what you like.
