I’ll start.
>About to fall off while climbing because you are running out of stamina?
Just pause the game and eat a mushroom skewer lol
>You just got hit by an enemy and are low on HP?
Just pause the game and eat some meatballs lol
>About to drown in the water?
Just pause the game and eat something lol
Yikes, did Aonuma even try?
How is this different from any other game with an inventory and healing items?
Yes user, even among nintentoddlers that's a very well know flaw of the game.
Yeah it is pretty stupid but watch random fags come in here and vehemently defend it.
Why is this bad game design?
Gothic did this right. Opening the inventory didn’t pause shit, and you had to consume things.
Are you fucking retarded? You have to hunt and scavenge for the materials and then cook them. Congrats on taking the time to experiment with the game's cooking mechanics. Now you're empowered and rewarded compared to those who did prepare and died.
Bad design, what a fucking moron you are. Why are BotW shitters always plebians?
It isn't. The only issue is that there's way too much inventory space for food so it can feel like you can just infinitely do these things. Even then, you still have to actually explore and find the ingredients in the first place, so you do have to "work" for it.
they only had to bring back the potions
its a nintendo game, its made for kids. What do you expect? Its actually the easiest braindead zelda game to date. Its impossible to die since you can just heal while paused lmao.
>its a nintendo game, its made for kids.
I absolutely love when seething shitters cannot stomach the amount praise Nintendo get but have no way to argue so just cry "k-k-kids games!" out of desperation.
Let's see...
Nintendo game, aimed at ''kids'':
>Treats the player with respect
>Tutorials are done through the player experiencing every system in perfect set pieces that convey mechanics better than text boxes
>complete freedom, player has to find things themselves, removing the use of constant arrow-following and making it feel like a world
>every action, like for instance cutting a tree, is done by the player
Sony games aimed at "Adults":
>Pillars of light in the sky to help players find their way
>Compass/minimap to let the player know exactly where to go, wouldn't want them to get lost ;)
>PRESS X TO ROW YOUR BOAT
>every action done by the player is a button press followed by a mini cutscene
Yet Dragon's Dogma does the exact same thing and you suck the game's dick to no end.
>nintendo
>treats players with respect
someone here doenst remember skyward sword
Why are you now talking about a completely different game?
im talking about the same company
Same as Skyrim then. Just drink healingpotions. Lol.
Or just let a healer heal you as in every rpg ever. Lol.
Why do you go after Botw of all games?
Console wars are made for kids.
Kids fight in the playground over who the best company is...
Even just compared to other Zeldas, you're usually limited to 4 healing items (4 bottles). In BotW, you can hold 60 full health meals (which also give bonus hearts). This at least means you can't repeat the procedure over and over again.
In Dark Soul, there's a lot of risk to healing, because the animation is long and you're very vulnerable because of it.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, there's a herb bar which you fill up by gathering health herbs around the world. When you need healing, you can slowly transfer health from the herb bar to your own health bar.
In Bloodborne, you heal by hitting opponents quickly after losing health yourself.
In 3D Mario, you instantly regain health by touching health pickups. You can't store that health for later use.
I think a much smaller inventory (at least for food) would have helped BotW, but I don't think the game would have solved all of its issues. Bottles to store meals in could have been a great reward for exploring, because BotW definitely needed better rewards/destinations for your journeys.
Skyrim is shit.
Don’t compare a healer skill to a glorified cheat code, brainlet.
>when your last seethe thread goes so poorly you have to make another
y*kes
As per fucking usual, complaints against BotW tend to be basic video game tropes which is exist in every fucking video game ever but they try to pretend that in BotW they're MASSIVE GAME BREAKING FAULTS!!!
>The game gets boring after 100 hours!
>I can pause to heal!
>The game reuses assets!
>The more you play, the more you build your character up, it gets too easy!
>After you've seen everything in the game, you've seen everything in the game!
BASED
once again OP is a fag
>No argument
Why can’t we have a discussion about this game without Nintendo fans shitting it all up?
Also this the only BoTW thread i’ve made in months and the last one was a positive.
So what you’re saying is BoTW is overrated shit and the moment you take out the Zelda name and the hype associated with it it completely falls apart.
You can’t pause and heal unlimitedly in Dark Sous, not every game has a broken healing system.
You have to wonder what the point of these threads are.
There's very rarely an attempt at discussion. Most of these threads exist as attempt of shitters trying to convince themselves Nintendo didn't make a good game.
Usually they will fixate on a single isolated aspect and hyperbolically nitpick it to fuck while conveniently ignoring the bigger picture - how the cohesive whole fits together and plays.
BotW is great game and a triumph of design. End of story. Move on. Shitters aren't going to convince anyone otherwise two years later.
>You can’t pause and heal unlimitedly in Dark Sous
And yes and thats because the entire core concept and gameplay of that game is built around combat.
BotW is not about combat. Why are you so stupid?
It's dumb, but you can just keep less food on you or purposely not pause during those events
If you think it makes it too easy don't do it. Not once have I done any of these things even though i know I could. Challenge yourself.
Honestly this.
>spam x50 apples like a moron just to stay alive
>this game is shit! REEEEEEEEEE!
this is now a botw screenshot thread.
this
Fighting lynels for the first time was the only time I ever paused to eat, then I figured out how to kill them easily. Pretty much the whole game is like this. You can be a moron and just keep mashing buttons, pausing and healing, or you can pay attention for 2 seconds and figure out how to kill each enemy.
People who have trouble with BotW really have no business talking about, let alone playing, video games.
I did that in RE2R lmao how come nips cant make games right?
I really don't understand why Yea Forums is so fucking bad at criticizing BotW when the game has so many legitimate flaws. Is this board filled with dipshits?
Pausing and healing breaks the game’s combat, how is it not valid criticism.
>dat peek of cheek
imagine being so much of a fag that you're quick to hit the pause button. Playing with you at any game that has a goal to compete would fucking be sucky. grow up.
Please stop console war shitposting in this thread.
If you have to pause to heal yourself during combat then you aren't very good at games.
If you aren't very good at games then your opinion doesn't matter.
I’m not a fan of the Zelda series in general, but I love BOTW. One of its worst features however, is the ability inventory abuse. It’s other worst feature is its shitty final boss.
Here's more
>You’re not supposed to pause and heal even though it’s the only way to heal!
Ok
Only in shit games you have to handicap yourself on purpose to make the game better, get better arguments, this is pathetic.
Which used that same game as an example of what not to do in BotW
game is fine but
>glass weapons that break after 2 hits
>can eat infinite food
this is bad design, in other zelda games you can only use a fairy in a bottle or a red potion or whatever.
That doesn’t make sense, retard.
The game gives you the freedom to play how you want. If you spent an hour scavenging for mushrooms and cooking them that was your choice.
I'll bet most things don't make sense to you.
don't be a massive faggot to pause right as you're about to die is what i mean. if you get in a fight and are about to die in the first place you overextended your fucking ego and you think you're hot shit. sit down.
you don't need to experiment with cooking when cooking 5 of the same thing still gets you an op meal.
or you know, just toss a hearty item in the pot and voila full heal + x hearts.
Yo, this thread needs to freggin' go
>get better arguments, this is pathetic.
Imagine desperately trying to nitpick a game two years later because you can't handle the praise it got.
>I-I-I MUST find s-s-s-SOMETHING to criticise the game! I can't sleep until I prove all those Tendies wrong!
Or i can just use BoTW broken healing system and make the game a bad joke.
So don't do It? Who is forcing you to cook all your ingredients?
The real bad design is that the game doesn't have any kind of cookbook or recipe list that you can unlock gradually and instead you just slap shit together and see what works
Man, all the tree crowns in the game really should've been at least twice as large. They're way too tiny for a full grown tree.
I think he wants a live Inventory system and a bit of animation. Where pause doesn't pause the game but just shows your inventory and after you eat it takes a second or two to do so. Kinda like Dark Souls.
I think you meant to say good design.
Carl I know it's you. Don't deny it SUCKS ASS!
The map is so tiny! You spend the entire game looking at the background that would make a way better game than four stupid ass puzzles and an old man who can't cook for shit!
That's peak crafting design though. Feel free to write your own recipe book just like you would in real life
botw needs more different types of trees.
that's the point you mongoloid
>instead you just slap shit together and see what works
lol you moron. I'm so sorry Nintendo isn't holding your hand and is forcing to learn everything on your own (or don't if you want).
I'm amazed you can cross the street without someone holding your hand.
One possible improvement would be that after you cook something for the 1st time, that particular meal gets logged in a cookbook so that next time you just select the recipe to cook rather than fishing out all the individual items. But i'm just nitpicking.
If you had paid attention you'd notice the recipe posters on the walls at stables and other places, you're meant to snap photos of them with your zeldaphone
they should've let you just take the pages and it to a recipe compendium
Jesus Christ you're a baby
no u
I think the best fix would be ‘food doesn’t restore health’.
It can restore stamina if you cook certain things, but the main use of food would be making buff meals - the armor, attack, stealth, hot/cold and etc meals.
Healing is only from potions which you can make yourself but you can only carry a certain number at once or whatever.
Reduced inmentory for food in general.
It's not, they're all bad design.
>Where pause doesn't pause the game but just shows your inventory and after you eat it takes a second or two to do so
Skyward Sword did that.
