ITT: terrible game design
>trying to light the fire at Akkala tech lab

>get a few of the lanterns lit
>it starts raining
>and raining
>and raining
It literally rained for 24 straight in-game hours, and then I'd have a few hours of clear skies before it started raining for 12 hours straight again. What should have been a 15 minute excursion became a two hour ordeal because of totally random bullshit. Could I have left and done something else? Sure, but I didn't want to just leave when I had already committed myself to completing the task. Though had I known I would be waiting for so long, I would have just said fuck it and left, but the stupid weather forecast only displays the next 6 hours.
ITT: terrible game design
>I must stay because of autism!
Also you know you can make a fire even in rain right? Use your brains
You can pass in game time at a fire (or the nearby stable) you dense motherfucker
Listen newfriend, you're not allowed to critize that game here, ok?
>I must stay because of autism!
I already explained that point. There's nothing else to do in the immediate area, and there's no way of knowing it's going to rain for an entire day.
>Also you know you can make a fire even in rain right?
You can't make a blue flame you fucking idiot. The only way to move the blue flame is by lighting a weapon/arrow on fire, and that won't work when it's raining.
The only places to start a fire in the vicinity are exposed, so that's not happening. And the stable is a ways away. In retrospect, I definitely should have gone to the stable, but if you think having to pause doing something and taking a five minute detour (or longer, depending on if the random weather decides to cooperate) redeems this design, you're an idiot.
In a game whose primary virtue is the number of ways you can come at a task and solve it, that there exists a problem where the only solution is to stop playing and wait, whether real time or in-game, is pretty fucking horrendous.
One of the lanterns is right there at the stable so you would've passed by it anyway if you were trying to light them all.
OP is such a fucking retard jesus christ just make a campfire and wait you moron.
Hurrr durrr I experienced a moment of bad rng. Must be terrible game design hurrrrrrrrr
Are you seriously mad that you got rained out in a video game
People are desperate to nitpick this game.
shut the fuck up OP go play cawa doodoo you fucking sonyger
Hahaha.
Rain sometimes comes at inconvenient times I agree but don't blame the game for your stupidity.
>terrible game design
You really want to believe that so badly don't you?
>[game's feature] made me wait because RNG
>sure I could have used [feature] to overcome this obstacle in a matter of minutes
>but I didn't want to! Bad game design!
>muh rng
>muh would have been better in case game realized what i was just doing in this OPEN WORLD GAME and then shut the rng down
>muh would have been even better to lock me into that quest, so that it can stop any open world events from happening
>pls with "you are outside of mission area, go back" messages
>t. typical millennial "gamer"
You can't start a fire when it's raining, dipshit.
>In a game whose primary virtue is the number of ways you can come at a task and solve it, that there exists a problem where the only solution is to stop playing and wait, whether real time or in-game, is pretty fucking horrendous.
Cut tree down, take the wood, walk to a sheltered space and light that wood on fire and rest
Uh, that lantern is totally optional and completely out of the way. I wasn't trying to light them all, I was just trying to get the flame to the lab.
>muh RNG
>muh can't do anything else in case weather doesn't fit the current sidequest
>no, have to do this sidequest naow, because I was conditioned by terrible games to do so
>t. autist
Yes you can just get under a roof or a rock jesus christ what an absolute MORON.
you can also light and then sit by the sheltered cooking pot in town.
That would require me to have an axe on me, which I didn't. And that's still waiting.
Stop playing videogames. You're too stupid for them. Even despite games like these having multiple solutions you couldn't apply the minimum amount of critical thinking to solve a basic solution and resorted to crying about it here because you couldn't brute force your own solution.
.t modern gamer
oh, and there's an indicator that rain is coming.
you can prepare for this kind of stuff.
>arin hanson plays another zelda game
arin likes this one.
op is worse than arin
>can't start fire when it's raining
>just like in real world
kek
sure. You definitely can't start a fire IN A FUCKING HOUSE or UNDER A ROOF or whatever
I think this Zelda should have an IQ requirement.
>should only be played by non-retards
Then glide down to the inn. It takes a minute to glide down three to hike back up.
The one game where water is actually wet good grief.
Yes? It's fucking obnoxious. It adds nothing to the game other than locking me out of doing certain things for a period of time, and the only way to get around it is to stop playing and wait it out.
Uh user you can cut down trees with any bladed weapon, I think even bombs work. And you don't even need to wait if you build a fire.
>stop playing
Maybe...do something else?
Next you will say you can't climb in rain either lol
I can agree that the weather system feels incomplete, especially considering how prominent a feature it is. Maybe they should've even made weather (or lightning) a bigger theme and part of the story, since shrines and climbing aren't that interesting and they didn't do enough with the Sheikah or cataclysm stuff.
Nice bait.
>I should be able to do everything at any point
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
play something else, monkey-boy. This game is obviously not for you.
>prominent
Uh what? Also rain kind of is part of the story for the zora part
And yet knowing that weather is an obstacle, you stood out in the rain for an in game day waiting for the it to pass, instead of taking shelter.
user you are trying to argue against rain.
I didn't have any wood, nor an axe to cut down any trees.
Did you even read my post?
>Want to be like Trackmania
>Release no track editor
Use a sword then.
How is the rain not prominent? Not in the story sense beyond Zora's Domain like you said, but lightning and heavy rain are constants throughout the gameplay. I just wish they added more variation.
why can't you use a sword
>WAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAH fanboys itt
Then why didn't you go look for an axe and a tree?
>constants
Not really, especially in snowy and desert areas. Seriously the frequency of rain is overblown
No the OP is just blaming is autism on game design
>refuses to do something else because autism
>doesn't look for ways to skip rain because he's retarded
When it rains you take shelter, light a bonfire and sleep.
>And you don't even need to wait if you build a fire.
>build a fire
>wait until noon
>still raining
>wait until evening
>still raining
>wait until morning
>still raining
I honestly didn't know that, because I'm not keen on wasting a weapon's very limited durability whacking at trees, which is another problem entirely.
>ITT: Sonybros once again want to get BTFO
is breath of the wild the sacred cow of Sup Forums?
>because I'm not keen on wasting a weapon's very limited durability whacking at trees, which is another problem entirely.
Then just use bombs.
Arrows can be lit with blue flames.
can't you just punch trees?
inb4 waaahhhh don't want to waste bombs
although it's easy to get them. And easy to get more weapons, but
>t. autist
Which is necessary to complete one of the puzzles in one of the divine beasts.
So it's official, you never played the game
>only solution to rain is to stop what you're doing and wait it out
>no way to tell how long it's going to rain beyond the next 6 in-game hours.
Not when it's raining.
>no way to tell
then just keep resting until its clear faggot. Also another solution is doing something else
>>only solution to rain is to stop what you're doing and wait it out
just like real life
It's not even like real life, you just can't do that one thing while in real life you get hypothermia
lel you suck faggot
>Also another solution is doing something else
Avoiding the problem entirely isn't a solution.
And like I've said, I would have done that, or gone back to the stable and waited had I any idea of how long it was going to be raining.
Why the fuck are we even discussing the fire situation if you could just carry your retarded ass to the inn and sleep until rain stops?
Terrible game design is being kicked out of Gerudo for being a Voe even though the leader of the Guard and the Chief both know I'm one and I'm carrying or wearing undeniable evidence of my service to your people in the form of the Thunder Helm
You can start a fire and/or keep it lit while it's raining in real life.
they still have laws my dude
what are you some kind of nigger?
Maybe you should read the thread.
Yeah that's kinda the point we're trying to make. OP is just being stubborn and watching his mental gymnastics is pretty funny.
>no way to see if it will rain for the entire day
Literally shows you the next 12 hours of weather
The game really does seem to rain 80% of the time all over that part of the map, so I can agree with the complaint.
It is open world though, so I just moved on to other shit rather then worrying about it.
I must have been extremely lucky or done something wrong, cause it never once rained during that segment for me.
If I knew the owner of a club and saved the club from going from bankrupt would it be unreasonable for them to allow my noncompliance with dresscode rules
Rules are rules user.
It actually makes sneaking easier
...
You can bomb the trees
Dude just fucking do something else. There's a billion fucking things to do in the game and you chose to sit and get mad at rain.
Watching you faggots desperately avoid addressing any sort of criticism is funnier and regurgitate shit that I addressed in my first post is funnier.
I was being stubborn, but that was due to a lack of information. As I've said, multiple times now, I would have done exactly what he said if I had any notion that it would be raining for a straight day.
And no one has been able to defend the fact that the only "solution" is to stop playing and go through a fucking loading screen until you get lucky and the rain stops.
...
It only shows the current three hour block and the next two three hour blocks.
There's nothing to do in that immediate area, and, as I've said half a dozen times at this point, I would have had I known it would be raining for so long.
>I was being stubborn
How in the fuck was I meant to know I could cut trees with a sword? What kind of bullshit counter-intuitive mechanic is that? Have you ever tried hitting a tree with a sword? IT DOESN'T DO SHIT!
>I would have done exactly what he said if I had any notion that it would be raining for a straight day.
There's a specific UI element telling you that exact information
>WAAAAAAAAAAAA MY NAME IS DUMBFUCK user AND THE IDEA OF BEING INCONVENIENCED FOR A FEW MOMENTS INFURIATES ME
>How in the fuck was I meant to know I could cut trees with a sword?
By trying it? Are you still mad at Nintendo for not telling you, you could jump on top of the Goomba in SMB?
>expecting BotW to adhere to actual good open world game design
Imagine being too casual for a Zelda game I mean damn
And that specific UI element only forecasts the current 3 hour block and the next two three hour blocks.
Seriously, what is you faggots' malfunction that prevents you from reading things that have been addressed multiple times throughout the thread? I understand not reading the entire thread, but I brought this up in the original post.
Holy shit man just delete this thread already youre an idiot
A rule that several citizens complain about and which has been violated by Link and the guy in Kara Kara with seemingly little if any
negative consequence
>if I keep talking shit like a braindead moron I might rewrite history and make this game stop being one of the most acclaimed of all times.
Every thread.
And why the hell would I want to go around just smacking random shit with my limited durability weapon(another terrible piece of design btw) on the OFF CHANCE that some non-sequitur happens?
So at what point did you stop and think "man this rain is lasting forever, maybe I should go to an inn"?
Why did you decide to sit in the rain all day?
>which is another problem entirely.
Not really.
A deals a deal user.
Have you thought that maybe video games just aren't for you if you don't want to do anything in them except what they tell you to do? Or perhaps other, more casualised, hand holding video games are more to your liking.
Because you're stuck in the rain with nothing better to do
>sperging out because someone doesn't like the product made by your cumdaddies
The durability isn't a bad design tho. Go play on a Sony console if you want a movie game
>And why the hell would I want to go around just smacking random shit
Because it's a game user. Have fun. Hit random shit. You can get new weapons.
