@Dude if you don't understand the usefulness of combat you should be expelled from gaming altogether
-
@Kagekokoro @Dude It's game essence. Do I want to go after that horde of enemies for goodies at the risk of one of them popping up that's really nasty, or do I wanna go around the camp and not worry about it? In most cases it's fairly easy to avoid most enemies in TOTK.

@ChristiJunior @ArdainianRight @Kagekokoro @Dude The music is dope whenever it does play m.youtube.com/watch?v=4g3gWQ5XN30&pp=ygUZYm90dyBoeXJ1bGUgY2FzdGxlIHRoZW1lIA%3D%3D

@William_The_Dragonborn @Kagekokoro @ArdainianRight @Dude It's great, but it does always remind me of how that's the kind of approach to music the ENTIRE game should have taken. That kind of music is just so much better than nature sounds and occasional piano keys being pressed.

@ArdainianRight @Kagekokoro @Dude I had plenty of complaints about BotW, but one of the things I loved about the game was how dangerous the world could feel, with random White Bokoblins with good weapons being able to kill you in one hit even dozens of hours into the game. That's how you make a world actually feel *Wild*, not just like a sandbox where your life is never seriously threatened.
Also, combat is fun af - if you don't enjoy scoring headshots on multiple enemies during Arrow Bullet Time, blowing up groups of enemies with explosives or burning monsters alive, what are you even playing the game for?

@ChristiJunior @MeBigbrain @Dude @Kagekokoro Gays are down bad after Sidon got married to a female Zora.

@ArdainianRight @Kagekokoro @Dude Oh my god they want a Legend of Zelda walking simulator.

@MeBigbrain @Kagekokoro @ArdainianRight @Dude The big twist is the reveal that Link is gay and has abandoned his role as Zelda's knight to be together with his Goron boyfriend.

@ArdainianRight @Dude @Kagekokoro @MeBigbrain I know a lot of faggots in the Zelda fandom pushed the Link-Sidon ship HARD.

@apropos @Dude I was thinking about this:
Games journalism is not only a profession where you are expected— almost encouraged— to hate your job; but it is also a profession that requires no knowledge or proficiency at all to execute your tasks!
In a way, video games journalism might be the most generous profession in the world.
I'll hear other examples, however.

@Rasterman @apropos @Dude Sounds like literally any government job.

>No, we’re talking about struggle.
>Here’s a game. It’s called Plucky Little England, and it simulates the situation faced by the United Kingdom after the fall of France in World War II. Your goal: preserve liberty and democracy and defeat the forces of darkness and oppression. You have a choice:
>A. Surrender.
>B. Spit in Hitler’s eye! Rule Britannia! England never ever ever shall be slaves!
>Which did you choose? You chose B? Wow, good choice.
>Congratulations. You won! Wasn’t that satisfying? Ah, the thrill of victory.
>There is no thrill of victory, of course; it was all too easy, wasn’t it? There wasn’t any struggle.
the journalist doesn't understand this because he would've felt a struggle anyway--in having to play the game at all, which is having to do his job for money, vs. doing something else that he actually enjoys.

@Dude Amazing how playing the game is what a journalist at "the gamer" is most upset about.
Playing games is an integral part of game-playing. They should teach them that in lowlife scumbag school.
