(+) Yeah! (+)

The customer is not always right. Some customers are definitely wrong.

And the ones defending "swords made out of toothpicks and paper mache" are definitely wrong.

Fuse sounds like the perfect compromise to keep durability as a mechanic while appeasing the people who hated breaking weapons.

you can consistently re-fuse the base weapon to something else and keep it from breaking as is my understanding.

My coworker has the game already. A weapon can only fuse to one item at a time. Once it's fused, it becomes a more durable weapon, but not impressively durable. And when it's close to breaking, you can undo the fuse (the 2nd item gets destroyed). It retains its status of being close to breaking. If you fuse to a different item, it will still be close to breaking. So really not much different in that department.

Bro, people who complain about weapons breaking are soft. It isn't even really ever a factor in BotW if you know how to hold a controller.

Man I never saw what the big deal was about weapons breaking >_>

Because there's no real benefit to the weapons being so flimsy.

People talk about how it encourages players to try different weapon types, but plenty of games do that without durability

The weapon durability is pretty much a non-issue in BotW once you've upgraded your inventory like 4 times.

but it shouldn't be an issue at all. That's the point.

There is no benefit to it. And there is certainly no benefit to everything being as flimsy as it is.

A durability system is unnecessary and unfun; at best an "its not so bad" feature, which is not the same as being good. And if you REALLY have your heart set on durability, it's possible to have one where weapons last longer than 5 bokoblins.

It's still just BotW dlc right? No dungeons, weapon durability, a big open world that's mostly empty and mostly the same as BotW?

Yeah no thanks.

There absolutely is benefit to it. It's built into the exploration as a reward system to the player. There's a finite amount of different individual weapons in BotW. If they didn't break then that reward system would be gone.

If the reward is just shitty weapons you can use for 3 enemies that's a garbage reward system

Not really. I got more excited to get an edge of duality or whatever from a random chest than any 100+ rupee reward.

Lmao TotK uses the same engine and resources from BotW, a game that came out like 6 years ago. its crazy to me it took them THAT long to develop when its basically just DLC for BotW

I really can't think of any benefit to weapon durability.

I mean when the argument for it is literally "It's not THAT annoying, my weapons last AGES before breaking."

Well then what's the point in the first place?

Funny, Elden Ring also promotes exploration as a reward system as well and yet doesn't rely on a durability system where it breaks after killing 2-3 goblins. You know how they do it? By not only have a lot of weapon variety, but also making it so that each weapon does something different, making experimentation fun... which is part of the fun with BotW as well. There's nothing rewarding about getting a weapon that breaks really fast. Like someone else said, it's more a nuisance. Though at least with TotK, the fuse system might be a good middle ground at minimum.

Who the fuck is defending weapons breaking after one battle
