Says the person with the BotW avatar about the man with half a million subscribers. I'm not Sterling's biggest fan, but my advice to you is to just enjoy playing your Nintendo games and
to psychopathically obsess less about numbers.
Encouraging creativity = taking control away from the player. In this case, if you play it "mindlessly" (aka the way you want to play it), you are being punished.
A lot of people would rather decide for themselves what they would want to use. I think that's the #1 problem for Jim and other people with similar opinions.
It's not about hand-holding. It's about preferences.

I'm not talking about button mashing per se, Zelda games have never really been like that and a lot of enemies in the past required you to apply variety through more subtle ways like being weak against certain weapons. If you want to predominantly play with a sword or similar weapon, you still should have to play smart, same as most Zeldas of the past or any decent action game.
And yeah, I even think it should put you at a disadvantage compared to those who mix it up and are resourceful, but that should be achieved through enemy variety and intelligence. (for instance flying enemies being far harder to take down using conventional means, heavily amoured enemies being extremely difficult to beat using your average sword, faster enemies harder against slow moving weapons etc etc.
The issue I have with the degradation system is that it really has a huge effect on the flow of combat, to the point where it feels like you spend a lot of your time going through menus. This exacerbates another issue I have with the game which is inventory management which just feels cumbersome.
that was before I got on the forum but yeah that escaped meUncharted 3 lmao.
In any case, a point you made really gets to part of the issue that was brought up in the video. Why should I go to the trouble of waiting until night and stealing enemy weapons when they're just going to be the same, fragile crap that I've picked up countless times. The weapon degradation often leads to situations where the rewards for actually engaging in combat, or even exploring just don't match up with the effort on behalf of the player.
He even explicitly says that he finds it to be a good gameFor a lot of game reviewers, a "7/10" is a "C" or a "C+" at best. People look at scores like they look at their school grades. Jim isn't one of those reviewers however.
Sad that people can't take their favorite games being criticized. I have disagreed with Jim on many reviews but his criticisms have always been fair. I actually started following him because of his Socom 4 review, and I liked that game quite a bit. No Man's Sky as well.
Dude is whining about weapon durability and he is busting out Rusty Broadswords in the video, lol
Aside that, it's amazing against one of the most brutal enemies, the guardians. It definitely has its place but it is a tool like everything else (a very valuable one, as I too often use it to 'break' it to preserve other weapons)
the truth about a good reviewer:
The mark of a good reviewer is not how often you agree with them.
It's not how much he praises stuff you like.
It's when you can respect his/her opinion and understand his/her perspective even when you disagree. I disagreed with Roger Ebert frequently, but he was stunningly knowledgeable about the movies he reviewed, and always laid out a brilliant and concise explanation for why he arrived at his conclusions.

The video footage was apparently provided by Laura Kate Dale.
I mean, he's just using b-roll footage of the first parts of the game as not to have spoilers.
He even stated that clearly.
People keep saying this but I don't notice the Master Sword being any better against the guardians than anything else. It does 30 damage per swipe. That's not "amazing" by any stretch, and against a Guardian Scout IV it won't even do enough damage without mid-level attack buffs to take down its whole life bar.

I find WWII to be a "good" war, in regards to what the Allied Powers accomplished under the duress applied by the Axis. It bettered humanity and changed the face of democracy and war as we know it.
You can't however, gloss over the horrible, despicable atrocities committed by the Nazis that occurred during the interim. It was a time of utter horror and crimes against humanity that none of us can, or will fully ever comprehend.
Jim Sterling's argument is "good" - and I disagree entirely with it.

Gamers:
"I'm so sick of all these game reviewers following the crowd and giving mediocre games like Final Fantasy XV such high scores! They should be brave and stand out from the crowd."
....
"OMG! WTF!!!!! 7/10 for Breath of the Wild!?!?! EIFUJEWUPFIEWHIUHWIUHWIUFHWIFUPWHUFIWHIUFPHWIUH!!!"
This is intriguing nonsense. Straight up. Like, I understand how you feel it's a cogent post with a point, but nah.
Back to Zelda, my friend.
What🤔
Breath of the wild is in no way mediocore lol.

In what world does that comparison even make the slightest bit of sense? You're saying that Jim saying he thinks Breath of the Wild is a good game is him saying Breath of the Wild is like World War II? What? I mean... what!?

I agree with everything Jim said in his video. I don't think I would rate the game a 7/10, most probably around 8/10, but I share all of his criticisms and have echoed them all on this forum in multiple threads(while similarly getting attacked from all sides for not agreeing with the hive mind and echo chamber).

this is the strangest thing I've seen on neogaf
I read some of your posts in the previous thread. You got defensive when a few posters rightfully pointed out that it sounded like you and others weren't being very smart with your methods of attack. At no point in this game should you be weaponless if you are using and reasonable thought process to approaching fighting situations. Sometimes, it is the players fault. I find most of the arguments to related to the weapon durability in Zelda are a result of the player just not being aware or thinking of their options.
Oh. So that's what's going on.
I'm honestly not surprised that's where he thought of BotW's weapon system. Jim's a goalpost moving fuckwit so any requirement to think his actions through, even to the minimal extent BotW asks of him, would overload his pog addled mind.
Jim is a sad 'little' man, out to make himself and those around him angry.
I agree with this.
If you're a skillful gamer, then you should have no issue with the durability mechanic in BOTW because you'll always plan ahead and have plenty of weapons on hand.
No, I'm saying that there's sometimes bad in every good and even though some of you think that what Jim Sterling said was good - there's a lot of bad in how he possibly premeditatedly accomplished and delivered what he said.
Good. I find him to be in poor taste.The insults are in really poor taste btw.
why should he though..
sometimes the only way to fight fire is with fire..
people are still trying to divine meaning from numbers that don't mean anything other than being a flawed representation of someone's opinionLook what Zelda does to people

i took a shit last night it was 8/10
This also can't be emphasized enough. One of the most useful movie critics working today for me is the SF Chronicle's Mick LaSalle. He has terrible taste and hates great movies and loves terrible ones, but by reading his opinions I know that mine will almost always be the opposite of his, so he is a valuable critic to me. Critics aren't supposed to agree with you, they're supposed to make you more informed. Jim, for the most part, does that better than most in the field, IMO.
