Botw has good combat, just fight a lyne-

>all gaming consoles are going through such a drought that a game from 2 years ago is still the target for daily shitposting

doesn't this Lynel have more health than THE FINAL BOSS?

you can use a tunic that shows enemy health

>Game has super bosses
This your first video game or something?

Shock arrows are all over the place though. I had to start using shock arrows instead of regular arrows because I already capped them at 999 and couldn't pick up any more.

>How are you supposed to know you are doing damage
What do you think is happening when you hit an enemy with your weapon?

I was so excited for this game. I'd probably play it again before FFXV, but I've also restarted Bloodborne and Xenoblade Chronicles X multiple times since BOTW came out.

I don't believe you

>because I capped them at 999
Literally bullshit and you've never played the game.

All items cap at 999, user. I had the same thing happen with amber and apples.

I get that you can accumulate 999 apples but the game gives you less arrows the more you have from a specific one. Some shops even stop selling specific arrows so you can't hoard them.

what about botw's game design leads you to believe hoarding isn't a fundamental idea.

this game is so bad and videogames are dead and Yea Forums is a worthless cocksucking corporate consumer board full of retarded loyalists and marketers.

Way to show you never played the game. Arrows in BOTW are a very limited resource. They're extremely expensive and you don't get many randomly.

You can dupe a full 1k in a few minutes.

>I haven't played this game but here's my hot take on it and why its shit

Not only that but the player is clearly using a rare quick-draw bow.

OP always cheerypicks this shit and takes it out of context. Nobody in their right mind would even attempt to make a thread about this kind of shit but OP is utterly assmad about BotW and has been for years.

I was genuinely disappointed in it. Tarry town is the only thing I remember liking. I genuinely hope that they expand on actually impacting the world like that in future games. I also hope that they fill it with more stuff the way that Xenoblade Chronicles X did.

Ok.

Some games show normal damage animations but no actual damage is being done
With nothing but the health bar going down the only indication in this game you are doing damage, its understandable one who slashes it with a sword once and sees no change to the health bar to conclude they are doing no damage to it

Well it's his opinion. And it's my opinion that it isn't fun since it's not very challenging. I guess I should have stated it outright but I figured it went without saying since sharing opinions is pretty much all that happens around here

if a game can be cheesed casuals will cheese through it, no exceptions

Stunlocking typically requires cornering an enemy and performing quick slashes with a dagger or something.

Because we like laughing at OP. He's a known autistic loser who can't handle reality.

How can fucking anyone believe BotW "BTFO" anyone?

It's a new Zelda game. Every time a new one comes out it's assumed to get 10/10s and always has since Ocarina of Time.

This narrative that BotW "BTFO'd the haters" is delusional as shit. And no, I do not like the game either, it's barely a Zelda game at all. What's just pathetic is fans lapping it up and pretending this shit is anywhere near as good as all the other 3D Zeldas. This game is to Zelda what Sticker Star is to Paper Mario, and we're now getting the Color Splash "fix" in the form of a sequel.

No thats just you trying to convince yourself that Nintendo didn't fucking HUMILATE you by making one of the best games of all time.

Keep trying to convince yourself. The past three years have been hilarious. I hope you never get over it.

I find it kinda funny that Nintendo realized they botched Ganon during the climax so they basically had to retcon him into being Ganondorf's essence or whatever instead of his actual form as it's described in BOTW

Were even here 2016/2017? Losers like OP actually though Nintendo would go out of business. They thought the Switch would flop and they thought Horizon would annihilate BotW. The sheer amount of ass-sting will reverberate for the ages. Which is why we still have bi-hourly BotW hate threads three years later.

The final boss of BotW is indefensible, let alone the fucking horrible character of Ganon. Ever since SS and Demise's "curse" Nintendo has fucked up Ganon/dorf. I assume now we get to see nu Disney style Ganondorf who can't speak/is not a character, or is subverted in some gay way. Expectations are rock bottom.

I did not care in 2016/17 so I missed whatever console warz shit was going on.

>game offers a challenge
>said challenge can be mitigated by getting overpowered
Then what's the point of the challenge offered then?

In enemy camps you can break crates and metal crates to find one to three arrows. It would take you quite a while to get to 600 though.

I can't wait for BOTW 2 just so the salt can be doubled

>nigga just dodge
every lynel fight in the game

High HP enemies were one of the things I hated about BOTW. It was just never worth it to lose almost all of your weapons for one or two kills. I found myself simply avoiding enemies in the late game.

>Easy (You)s Yea Forumsros
thank god they're free and you pretending to be retarded just makes you into one

Never capped them at 999 but I do have over 600 shock arrows so I usually just use them over normal ones.

You need a powerful enough weapon and hit the weak spot at the right time to stun an enemy. The method shown in the webm is a rare one, you wouldn't be able to do it with 2 or 3 lynels one after another, it's rather single use only and later you need to move your ass and go for normal fights, unless you have an inventory full of op weapons and a shit ton of other special arrows to spam too - something unlikely to happen until grinding at end game.

botw was the worst thing to happen to Yea Forums in a while. maybe since tortanic. the level of absolutely repugnant autism on both extremes for and against the game are absolutely the most unenjoyable forms of pretend elitist low effort shitposting this fucking board has to offer

and neither side actually gives a shit about the game like the people who don't spend their time in these threads every single day for literally years without a break

weaponized fucking autism, senpai

>still seething about BotW years later

Get help.

Electric arrows are a rare resource. Yes he has like 300 in this clip, but he's also clearly very, very lategame. He has max hearts, every divine beast, and the god damn motorcycle.
Now here's what I will actually say in favor of your point, late-game breath in general, even pre-DLC, even before you've completed 80 shrines, can be pretty crap for similar reasons to the webm.
The durability system means combat is intrinsically a trade-off, you'll probably lose a weapon/ammo and gain whatever the enemy has or is guarding. The problem with this is when you're far into the game and have a good number of inventory slots. What almost inevitably happens is you stop having a reason to fight, every fight becomes a waste of time because the weapons you've ended up with are way better than anything you'll get from trash mobs. This leads to you never really losing resources, which means a lot of loot becomes either worthless or left behind entirely, which also means you'll be in a situation where you can literally pump elemental/bomb arrows into a lynel and not even make a dent in your pool of them. Shit's fucked, this combat system defeats itself, especially since a lot of combat encounters have unarmed solutions via the environment.
cont.

The worst part is that the solution to this is actually kinda provided in Zelda 1, you know, that game Nintendo supposedly took notes from? You know why combat is worth it in that game?
>it's often mandatory
>valuable items can be pretty much anywhere since even rupees are required at points, so exploring matters, forcing you to fight more too
>enemies can drop valuable things like fairies and bombs
>game's kinda fucking brutal so good drops and treasure are more valuable
and most importantly
>it's pretty damn good for the standards of overhead action games at the time, enemies and items make for diverse scenarios
None of this is true for BotW
I also think a pretty solid solution is provided by the popularity of Zelda randomizers. What if the world was smaller and important items like the hookshot or bow could just be in some fuck-off cave? If you ever played at least alttp randomized you might see my point here.

Since all of the rewards you do get are either
>better weapons
>arrows
>rupees (not as often it seems)
>materials for cooking
Its only way of being rewarding is by giving you the broken resources that lead to the issues in my first post, and it really doesn't have to be that way.
Also I haven't even mentioned the part where you can pause at any point in combat and instantly stuff your face with grilled sirloin for full health and no consequence, meaning enemies are only a genuine threat if they one-shot you.

tl;dr botw combat's bad because it's not rewarding in the right and that causes a lot of issues

I mean it's pretty easy to argue how lame it is that most RPGs just make weapons direct upgrades from one-another, so bad example.
And I think overall he's right, but both of you may have neglected a factor of item balancing, acquisition. Usually ultimate weapons in RPGs require special procedures to obtain and don't invalidate the rest of the game's challenges, though even if they did you could call it balanced if the method to obtain it is hard enough.
The reason you could say BotW's overpowered weapons are bad design is that most of them are trivial to obtain in the right circumstances, and you're all but guaranteed to get at least a few by late-game.
I personally think RPGs have something to gain by looking into equip systems that don't have objectively "best" options, it's one of the best things pm:ttyd did and it feels like most RPGs only dip their toes in meaningful weapon/armor diversity, but I digress.

Samefag, the only complaining about BoTW are falseflaggers.

Yep, agree with you. But I’d extend that to nearly everything in the game. The shrines aren’t worth bothering with past 13 hearts (never had any cause to upgrade stamina). Korok seeds are basically worthless. Side quests result in food or a few rupees. I spent rupees once on some clothing to protect from the cold. It just all seems worthless and a waste of time because it’s all unnecessary.

I think shrines are at least fun enough to find and in some cases complete to be intrinsically rewarding. The only reason I was playing the game after a point was just to find more shrines, even though I had more than enough hearts and stamina. Korok seeds are something no reasonable person would seek out past the ones you just kinda run into, so I find them inoffensive. Completely agree on side quests too, they're all a fucking after-thought.
>never had any cause to upgrade stamina
...Why wouldn't you? low stamina just seems like an inconvenience.

>all the shit that can one shot your three heart, no armor wearin' ass if you leave the story path at all at the beginning of the game

There was no reason to. I didn’t need to run fast for long. I could use that jumping power to avoid climbing too much, paragliding is largely just something nice and not anything I needed to do, and I rarely swam.

It's fine, I like it. Not a masterpiece. Neither was spiderman.

Wind Waker has better use of items in combat, TP has better swordplay, and yes I honestly would say even OoT and Majora made some combat scenarios more interesting than any late-game encounters in BotW, if for nothing other than having more enemy variety and actual bossfights.
