this game really lacks a sense of progression. getting better weapons feels pointless when the only variation later in the game is yiga clan guys while still being mostly reskinned enemies you encountered within the very first hours of the game. though I am very much enjoying the exploration, it's one of the better open worlds I've seen

I agree, the fact that the game gets exponentially easier as you explore and upgrade is one of the bigger flaws.
I think in BotW 2 they should introduce harder and harder types of enemies as you progress, instead of just multiplying values on enemies you've already seen.

The trials that take away all of your stuff are the best, they make you feel powerless while still having room for error with all your hearts and experience.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to argue against this. I suspect more permanent unlockable items (than just the Master Sword and eventually Master Cycle) tied to something like the shrine completion would've done quite a bit to alleviate it. I guess you could argue that the clothes kind of do this, but their benefits aren't really concrete enough and they're usually found too randomly to be called progression.

landing on an island and going full cast away mode was fun as fuck, loved it

You're thinking too small. The progression is not limited to getting stronger in combat and being able to deal with many situations: which happens as you collect more armor and different types of weapons, the true game proagression comes from exploring the world and filling out the map. That's the whole point of the game, really. Everything exists as a vehicle to enable your exploration of the world.

Everywhere is open practically from the start so there's no way for it to have progression.

Can we have one fucking thread without you faggots posting this shit?

I'm definitely a BotW apologist but this is an observation of a legit weakness of the game, not crying

Thnx 4 sharin
