I think the fusing system majorly helps a little further into the game in terms of durability. When you get to a point where you have a bunch of really good treasures for fusing, you can make a good weapon out of literal sticks without worrying about it breaking and losing your loot.

the reason i disagree is because, you arent really using diferent weapons, what you are doing is ignoring them and treating them as stat sticks. they lose all personality. compare it with dark souls, where people will fight to the death to defend their favorite weapon, because, while the diference is slight, its still enough to be unique. even for stuff that is underused like bows or spears. you wont get that with this durability system because weapons stop being worth caring for. you just use what you have and move on. the worst part is how it feels like it punish the player for trying to fight stuff. as you will lose resources for stuff that, most often than not will just be used in the same way. so while i understand it has people who like it, i just vehemently disagree its a good implementation of the system.

Just the base mechanics alone are fun enough that you can just use those and go have fun doing whatever the hell you want to without even aknoledging the story. I also really appreciate, that, while it's no masterpiece, they did add a pretty good story with some genuine twists if you go through and collect all the memories to piece it together. I feel like so many games try to restict the player as much as possible these days, but I'm so incredibly relieved to see they did just the opposite, giving us as much freedom as possible while still having real puzzles that take effort and thought and have so many possible solutions. Overall an amazing game.

There's something I really like about this game over the first one that I don't see many people point out. Now most kinds of weapon have a special property (Royal weapons become more powerful when you flurry rush, Rito weapons produce wind, Zora weapons gain an attack boost when wet). This gives you an actual reason to have more variety of weapons for each situation. Instead, in Botw the Royal weapons were basically the best, only being beaten by Royal Guard weapons in exchange for durability.
@RyandBurtson Жыл бұрын
I think the fuse mechanic is the perfect answer to weapon durability. In BotW, it sucked because if there was a sword you like and it breaks, you’re SOL and have to find another one. But in TotK, as long as you pick up sticks you will always have a good weapon available. Your stone axe broke? Fuse a soldier construct horn to a stick, bam you’ve got a damn good weapon. And of course the stronger the enemy type your monster part comes from, the more damage it does. So you have more incentive to go after higher level monsters instead of avoiding them, knowing that defeating them will give you materials for a damn good weapon. As far as fusing like a rake to your sword or whatever, yeah that stuff can be kind of dumb. But that’s just not where Fuse shines, in terms of practicality. I just love that ability. Another great thing about this game is how interesting the open world feels. I can’t walk to one point of interest without seeing 2 or 3 others that I want to visit along the way. It’s exponential and at times I feel overwhelmed. But it just means I have way more stuff to get to later. I absolutely love this game.

They capitalized on the durability system immensely by adding many more weapons with the high durability trait, and now with the fusion ability you can make even a 4 damage stick that has high durability do ridiculous damage, depending on what you fuse to it

@@mihaimercenarul7467 Read the comment above this one, it perfectly articulates my point. Written by Vincenzo . The durability system was pretty harsh in BOTW but in TOTK it works well with everything they've done. Fuse zonai spears with construct hearts for extra durability and a WHOLE LOTTA damage. This also encourages you to experiment more to find more efficient fusions. So the durability system feeds into the fusion system which feeds right back into the durability system. It's genius really, I just wish there were more fusion possibilities. You clearly haven't played this game if you're saying it's boring.

I feel like durability is necessary in this game. It encourages experimentation with the fuse mechanic. In the first game it was mostly just a way to have Link find new weapons instead of using the same ones the entire game, but in this game it actually makes sense.

Just from how huge it is alone and how much there is to explore and how much just pops out at you out of nowhere, it’s GOTY. I expected the sky to be huge, but *SPOILER, SERIOUSLY, DON’T DO IT TO YOURSELF* I didn’t expect at all to be able to go underground. And it’s just as huge as the sky and the surface. The Lake Hylia Whirlpool Cave seriously impressed me. I just got done doing 1 of the regional phenomena and it’s just so much fun. Everything about this game, from the enemies to the areas to the weapon builds to the new abilities to the characters themselves, it’s a masterpiece. Just like GOW: Ragnarok, it somehow completely surpasses the one before it almost instantaneously. 10/10. Between this, GOW:R and Elden Ring, you have a good 400 hours of content to explore.

I think the thing that makes me believe TotK is pretty much perfect is that if you aren't big on creative problem-solving and having too much to do, there are still linear ways of beating every challenge the game throws at you, which truly allows ultimate player freedom. You can do the simple, intended thing and have a blast. You can make the stupidest contraption ever that only half-works and forces you to improvise partway through, and it's a blast. No matter what kind of player you are, the game is designed with you in mind. The only real issue I can see people having with the gameplay is its vastness being overwhelming and/or sometimes annoying to traverse. I may be biased, but I genuinely having a hard time seeing people's preferred playstyle clashing with the game in any other way, and that's an incredible feat. Of course, this is coming from someone who's happy with any quality above 360p at 15FPS, so my input may not be the best on that front, haha

The sandbox is honestly the best part of the game for me. I just love doing the dumbest things imaginable and seeing how well they actually work. I’d love to have a purely creative mode where I can waste time building some massive projects without affecting the actual in game resources. The ultrahand stuff reminiscent of the game besiege for me and I love it.

I completely disagree with all the negatives about how this runs or how it’s technically behind. The fact this game runs like this is an engineering miracle. Name any game that has this much going on has a world half this size and runs better. You can’t. I mean you can go the highest point in the game, jump fall down to earth, keep going through a hole to the depths, go all the way to the ground there and never load, never chug, nothing and the whole time it will look drop dead gorgeous and have a draw distance that other games would die for. And that whole time it does it on the fucking switch!?!?! I keep hearing people say it runs like BOTW but I disagree. When BOTW launched it ran way worse than this. This game runs like BOTW does today after tons of patches. Nintendo did some god damn black wizardry to make this game go. They are still the masters of their craft.

" The fact this game runs like this is an engineering miracle." you do realize that you are basically agreeing with him there right? you are basically "doesnt matter if it runs like shit, to me it just working feels like magic!" wanna know something? you can run the original doom in a calculator, smart refrigerator or even a freaking pregnance test. that doesnt mean its the best way to play it. its the same thing here, so what if it CAN run on the switch? how does that negates all the frame drops and mediocre frame rate? specially since if it were to run on an emulator it would get double to 4x that fps. maybe even while scaled to 4k as well. and before you argument about the switch being basically a mobile console, lets not forget the steam deck, which, while not as powerful as a OCd pc, will still be able to play it better in a couple of months, maybe a year at most.

@@marcosdheleno he spent the entire video saying it runs bad and the graphics are bad. I mean he kind of hit on these points but not really. He said over and over again how behind Nintendo is on technology and it’s completely silly when clearly they have some of the best engineers in the industry Also love all the people who clearly know nothing of emulation talking about how much better it runs. Yes with 15 mods, hours to compile shaders, and a very powerful gaming rig, yes you can run the game better. 4x and 4k is only going to accessible to an extremely tiny minority. Most people will run it the same or worse than switch after hours of configuration. Or it can pretty damn smooth on the switch with just frame drops during tons of physic stuff, which happens on emulators too and happens on all physic based games. I have a steam deck. The deck can’t run most switch games very well. It runs BOTW way worse than a switch. This game will never run better on the steam deck. All the people who say the steam deck is better switch because of emulation don’t know wtf they are talking about. There are a handful of games you can play better but the majority of games you would want to play you cannot.

@Ayu Akua 1. dude I played link to the past when it came out and had already played the original on the nes though I was too young to have that the year it came out. The original sure as hell wasn’t on the 64…. I was like 13 when ocarina came out. But yes Nintendo was around before anyone was born. They are over a hundred years old so unless you are secretly 200 hundred years old they are older than you too … 2. Wow Nintendo is a big company???? Who knew???? This might seem like big news that thinks the original Zelda came out on n64 and think they are old for having played it but to others this is well known. Not even sure what your point is

People are so weird about FPS. I don’t understand it. If you’re used to high fps I admit it takes a little bit to adjust to the lower frames but after you adjust it just feels normal. There’s plenty of great games that run at 30fps. People are such babies about it now. “If my game can’t run 3000 fps at max graphics settings then I’m not playing it” exaggerating of course but that’s what you sound like to normal people.
