The first portion of this video is some performative yelling about weapon durability, specifically in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The second portion is about something less durable than any weapon in any game - the psyches of Zelda's most viciously defensive fans.

Link to the video!

 

[komplanen]

I was hoping this shows up soon and there it is :-3

EDIT: It was great!

 

[Clefargle]

Prepare yourselves

 

[Saucycarpdog]

And here I was hoping he'd talk about the shitty Variety map pack situation in Modern Warfare Remastered. :/

 

[Cess007]

Damn, that video title lol

Will watch it on my work break, but I expect some people here taking offense on the title instead of reflect on it

 

[Tecnniqe]

Wait for them to DDOS YouTube

 

[Jawbreaker]

Haha, this should be interesting.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Been waiting for this.

[Tizoc]

Speaking of weapon durability, anyone remember what it was like in koudelka?
Let it die's weapon durability isnt a major concern sinc u can upgrade fists so melees deal decemt damage

 

[Savitar]

Do you feel that.

A disturbance.

Not saying Jim is wrong, but he doesn't help the situation.

 

[TenCentCoast]

Saw this coming a mile away.
Kind of getting boring hearing Jim predictably yell about the same shit over and over. It doesn't help that I haven't heard a single rational arguement against weapon durability, so there will probably be nothing for me this episode. Oh well. I'm still going to support him.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Oh wow L~A already posted it what a shock.

Time to watch Jim eviscerate Nintendo fanboys again.

 

[opticalmace]

Damn, want to watch but can't till I get home. How long is this one?

 

[BitStyle]

I don't mind the weapon durability, but I feel they should have increased durability across the board so my items wouldn't break in 7-10 swings.

It led me to investing pretty much all my korok seeds in weapon slots

 

[Trace]

Damn, want to watch but can't till I get home. How long is this one?

13 minutes.

Jim is the yellow press of games.

Yellow press is not simply clickbait/provocative titles. Jim Sterling consistently makes very good points and does a ton of exposés on the industry.

[Mr Cola]

I agree, weapon durability is a real bug bare of mine in RPG's

 

[Markitron]

I wonder if this thread will get locked like the last one. FWIW I completely agree with him, Zelda is fantastic but it's infuriating me too.

It's amazing that he had a fully-edited, scheduled Jimquisition about "fragile Zelda fanboys" only a day after he posted the BotW review. That's some South Park-level content making speed right there.

 

[140.85]

I totally agree. The concept can be done well, but it's too distracting in BotW.

Jim doesn't want to help anyone. He is swimming in this pool full of shit and he loves it.

 

[Caayn]

I've gotta agree with Jim. Weapon durability annoys the hell out of me in games, especially in Zelda. I want to play the game not play inventory management 2017.

 

[SirNinja]

And here I was hoping he'd talk about the shitty Variety map pack situation in Modern Warfare Remastered. :/

There's this article, which pretty much sums up his thoughts on the matter.

Other than that, he'll probably talk about it next week - provided something even more idiotic doesn't happen, at least.

Why would he ?
People receive him well whatever videos he does or say.
Before, I liked his videos but dropped them last year when he started to throw tantrum in his videos, even if it's well written, his videos are becoming more "reaction videos". I liked when they were informative and was defending consumers point of view.

I'm pretty sure he had everything already planned and just added a few recent info

 

[Tecnniqe]

He's not wrong. Weapon durability is the god damn worst. It's not hard, it's a chore for backtracking for something useless and takes me out of the game while also in the Dark Souls example weight is a thing so you can't even stack up weapons to avoid it.

At least they don't permanently break in 5 hits tho... Oh..

dem clicks tho

Them clicks for all those non existing ads, ikr

 

[marrec]

I used to think he was playing a character ala Angry Joe but then I realized that I was wrong and he's just like that.

Actually made me appreciate him a bit more.

OT:

Weapon fragility in Zelda is great and anyone who thinks otherwise is okay to think that.

 

[Blobbers]

damn, where was all this outrage when Jim gave TLG a 6/10?

not that I'm surprised. At least on gaf, I would say Zelda is the one fanbase that trumps the Uncharted fanbase in terms of toxicity, and that's one hell of an accomplishment.

 

[Golgo 13]

Honestly, I used to really love Jim Sterling but every single video is negative, bitchy, and reactionary now. It's either Digital Homicide is suing him, YouTube is fucking him over, Konami Sucks, DLC sucks, Nintendo sucks, or people are mad at him over a review (and of course, he's always right and everyone who disagrees with him is a fucking knob). It's just the same cycle of dramatic negative bullshit -- he seems to revel in it.

Does he ever do a video about how much joy something gives him? How much he loves a game? I can only stand so much verbal diarrhea before I check out. Good luck Jim.

 

[blankempathy]

I've gotta agree with Jim. Weapon durability annoys the hell out of me in games, especially in Zelda. I want to play the game not play inventory management 2017.

Having to hold down one button to scroll through weapons is completely game breaking. Such a burden.

The Jimquisition specifically deals with the negatives of the industry. You might as well complain about all the sick people in hospitals or the disaster coverage on CNN. If you're looking for non-Jimquisition material, go check out his youtube channel where it's a mix of content.

 

[Plum]

Spoiler

That's my point. He knew this would happen and now he's reaping the profits.

 

[Painguy]

Oh jeez. I like Jim's stuff most of the time but sometimes he rly looks like he's dying for attention. Homie needs to relax (and the dumbos who are mad at his score n ddosing). I do think that he should of held off his review a bit longer so the nintendo youtube thing kinda became a less recent event tho.

100% this...

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Weapon durability and weight limits are 2 game mechanics I hate the most.

 

[Crazyorloco]

the things he doesn't like about the game are not a problem to me.

And that's ok. It's his opinion. Most people don't have that view.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Jim doesn't want to help anyone. He is swimming in this pool full of shit and he loves it.

I think the negativity or exaggerated negativity from him is why I don't tend to follow him too much. I don't care why he's bitter with Nintendo for past events or purposefully click bait topic titles. I think it's his fake attitude that turns me off. His shtick.

Just my 2 cents on him and his videos.

 

[OricWindstar]

Glad for the quick turnaround on commenting about the stupid response to his review.

Curious to watch this after work, as I actually dig the durability system.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

dem clicks tho

Jim is funded entirely by Patreon.

Jim doesn't want to help anyone. He is swimming in this pool full of shit and he loves it.

He's one of the most prominent and consistent consumer watchdogs in the industry. Doesn't want to help anyone my ass.

 

[Geg]

I thought the weapon durability would bother me, but since weapons are literally everywhere I ended up being fine with it. Most of the time I have too many weapons on hand to know what to do with.

Not that it's like a really fun or exciting mechanic or anything, but it doesn't annoy me either. It's just There

How I feel. I always start watching a video and I'm normally over it within a few minutes. His videos are getting predictable at this point.

It feels like the last 4 or 5 jimquisitions have been about drama around him

 

[pokemonsquared]

Pretty sure he wouldn't have been DDOS'd had he not given Horizon a 95.

So it was his own hypocrisy that did him in.

I wasn't saying he was the troll. He's the dude reacting and purposefully feeding trolls.

 

[Kouriozan]

I admit at first the durability was an annoyance, then I'm constantly filled up and have to throw weaker weapons, hoping the upcoming hard mode will shake things a bit.
