I love this game so much but the weapon durability is a fucking pain.
JerkOfTheYear
I feel like this is the first and last time Dark Souls didn't try to fuck someone over with a weapon.
SirFormidio
For all of five minutes before they shatter and become totally worthless to be replaced with trash tier weapons.

Thanks red box, I would've totally missed the fucking joke if you didn't do that.
TheGuardianFox
To anyone wondering, yes it's worth buying a Switch to play this game. :3
ThisSceneDoesntIncludeALapDance
Thanks for that red box, I would have missed the entire last tweet without it

There are idiots and there are idiots. You're welcome.
eskymojoe
Dark souls was to repetitive for me
Boomshabaz
I like the stories :)
ManicOtter
Could someone tell me what I'm looking at? All I see is dark green with an arrow above something and link with... Something?
thecoldmage
I laughed my ass off the first time I looked at the map after dying and seeing the red X, and says R.I.P. When you move your cursor over it.
mastrpang
Ppl forget nintendo came up with shoulder buttons as well
SilverNicktail
But took over a decade to put a second analog stick on their handhelds.
mastrpang
D pad for fighting games are still the best imo
OniTemjin
Why do I care? Shit is just going to break in less than a minute anyways. Amazing weapon! ... and it's gone.
Zap117
Dark souls is more like the older Zelda's not botw . Botw is more like Witcher with cartoony graphics. still both look good
Zap117
And vice versa
krapmyself2
There's a key difference though: dark souls retains its difficulty throughout while BotW gets easier towards the end.
LetsTalkGameDesign
I've got 23 hearts and max upgraded Hylian Armor and I still died to a particularly nasty Moblin camp.
Legatia
Dark Souls isn't really like that. It has pockets of difficulty. Some spots are shockingly difficult but outside of those it's fairly easy.
my90srapnameispoodrizzle
Not if you build competently at all.
veritasgear
Uh yeah pretty sure that dark souls targeting system is based on z targeting.
Huskerre
Am I the only one who isn't really enjoying Zelda: BotW?
Deathbunny600
Probably
Cheomesh
Is that a reference to "Nintendo Hard" games?
zowan
No, its a reference to the weapons breaking every 5 minutes.
mosstheboss
The reason I played the Souls series is because it's basically dark fantasy version of Zelda
dazed2684
Dark Souls is more like castlevania than zelda

YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Not in the direct sense but there are similar labyrinth type levels that require a fair amount of problem solving.
FilthyHexer
Like Sens Fortress, and also pretty much finding any shortcut.
bart2pl
yea, and each of those weapons will break after 3 enemies ...
Zimno
I agree, the weapons should last more than 20 seconds each. Or at least be able to repair them with ore or something.
Truefacted
I always find it interesting to watch a creator being influenced by something and then eventually influence it.
OlafForkbeard
This would be a great place for people to post links to such things.. Any time now..
8hourgamer
uncharted and tomb raider have gone back and forth a couple times. both inspired by Indiana Jones which was based in 1930s short films
Truefacted
George RR Martin and marvel comics were an interesting one to me.
Jokesterwild
Also why open source should be embraced
Jokesterwild
That's how great ideas bloom.
EnigmaRequiem
Since we're naming examples here, Homestuck inspired some of the characters in Steven Universe, which in turn inspired parts of act 6 in 1/2
EnigmaRequiem
Homestuck 2/2. Man that was right up against the character limit.
Rips4w
Dark Souls fanboys, listen. Your game's not that hard. You're not that hard. Please, shut up so we can move the fuck on.
SaveUsPapaFranku
Sounds like someone died at Capra Demon a few too many times
MidiArbite
I'm a fan and fully acknowledge it's not all that hard once you get used to it.
Rips4w
I commend you for that. Too many, apparently, hinge their entire self-esteem upon it.
ThatEdward
Not difficult at all, it's mainly about learning enemy patterns. Gotta pay attention. My first DS2 run was a brawler. Good times!
FilthyHexer
It really feels like you've never played the game before. Anyone who has understands that the game isn't hard, it just doesnt hold your hand
Rips4w
I don't think the game is hard. I'm addressing those that do and use it as a way to look down on others for not being "gud".
FilthyHexer
and this results in mostly fair encounters, where failure only results from player error.
IAmDarthBane
Sounds like you need to git gud son.
Rips4w
I've been "gud" since before your mother mistakenly carried you to term, little buddy.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Haha based on your disproportionately harsh responses to everything we can probably just assume your butt hurt doesn't end with dark souls.
Rips4w
1. Please refrain from assuming things. You are terrible at it. 2. Judging by the amount of downvotes, I'm not the butthurt one. Cheers.
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
IAmDarthBane
That's exactly something someone who was bad would say.
Rips4w
Takes one to know one. I'm rubber you're glue, all that middle school shit you seem to be really "gud" at.
Cptmike
I thought you were boning moms, not in middle school
IAmDarthBane
Come at me scrublord, I'm ripped.
ThisGeigerFucker
They should'a taken the notes on how to implement weapon durability properly.
FindYourChillMate
Well they did. Nintendo doesnt do PC eiither
mybrothersmario
Your Guardian Spear++ is badly damaged.
LetsTalkGameDesign
How cautiously are you playing that you're not DROWNING in Flameswords, Royal Broadswords and Dragonbone Lances?
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
They would feel so, SO much more special if there was just one of each and they didn't break.
ThatEdward
I constantly have to figure out which of my high powered weapons was used to break that one rare ore deposit, so I can choose which to toss.
SossidgeRole
use a bomb like a normal person?
ThatEdward
And this is after spending like 60+ seeds on weapon inventory slots.
Airbear360
They did, they referenced dark souls 2.
MidiArbite
Even DS2 repaired your weapons when you sat down.
Airbear360
It did, but to kill everything in an area during exploration only to have to sit to repair (unless you have the repair spell) is a bummer
Malpants
*spoiler alert* in my reply
Malpants
The Master Sword repairs after awhile.
MidiArbite
Downvoting the replies to hide them, upvoting the original alert to even out. but what about the actual FUN weapons?
TheCosmicCracker
1/ It's definitely a bit of both. Nintendo really defined the 3d generation for a long time, and the action adventure genre with Zelda.
Frappo
Even going back before the 3D gens, Nintendo has always been a trend setter. They're definitely gimmicky, but that's how the industry grows.
Vulpesferrilata
I mean the Z-targeting basically dates back to OOT and that's being used in an astounding number of games. Great 3D mechanic
Xubat
Including dark souls right, hence the comparison. The human brain is hardwired to compare, we only usually compare to the best/worst though.
TheCosmicCracker
2/ Now they're following the example of what the best of the modern fantasy genre has to offer with Dark Souls. I think that's awesome.
stanhansen
Work off of others' ideas. Iterative progress. How civilizations & technology progress. Cheap knockoffs are cancer but this isn't one.
AllHighAustin
Yeah and they took some example from games like Skyrim I think this is exactly what Nintendo needs.
originalusernamethatmakesyoulaugh
Butof course because the switch didn't sell well on launch day and it has some problems it's apparently "Nintendos newest flop of a console"
MidiArbite
They've taken good inspiration with multiple weapon fighting styles but the durability went too far.
FillerNameToFillTheBox
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCMDG51cf5w I beg to differ. This video pretty much sums up my thoughts.
ThatEdward
I feel durability is where it needs to be. Keeps me trying out weapons, testng new strategies. Rain gets me to stop climbing all the time.
ThatEdward
Kinda feels like that was the intent. They don't seem to want people to get locked in a favorite playstyle 24/7. Experiment a little.
mybrothersmario
I absolutely love the difficulty change the new Zelda game has.
GoldenVoltZ
I honestly love that it's difficult but very forgiving. A death in Dark Souls can often be devastating 1/2
ThatEdward
Agreed. I went to the coliseum right after starting. That was incredibly fun!
mybrothersmario
dang, doing the coliseum right after starting?! Now that's hardcore.. The red Lynel for the Zora quest wrecked my shit with 7 hearts.
ThatEdward
Yep. Only had three hearts, died a bunch of times. By the time I finished I decided it wasn't worth the resources I used, and reloaded save.
