   @thomasfuchs I'm still wondering if I'm going to bother with getting BotW2. BotW made me rage quit constantly, I hated the breaking weapons and the unbeatable monsters. I would play for a bit then put it aside for several months, and after a couple of years of that I gave up.

     @thomasfuchs The last thing I tried to get some value out of the game was go around and find all the shrines. The puzzle ones were ok, but there too meany "Feats of Strength" ones that were no fun at all. After hitting too many of those I gave up.

     @thomasfuchs I could not get on with the game at all. My kids loved it.

     @thomasfuchs I was very confused at why all my friends enjoyed a weapon fragility and cooking simulator so much

     @maddiefuzz @patrickcentral @thomasfuchs how? it’s empty af.

     all the tasks are grinding like cheap iphone games that are designed to get you to pay to skip that part… simply terrible… if a zelda game is an adhd game, it’s a massive design fail

     @amy @patrickcentral @thomasfuchs

     The weapon durability was incredibly annoying.

     I couldn’t stop finding things to do, though. I enjoyed it because I felt like I was playing ADHD: The Game

     @patrickcentral @thomasfuchs and my favorite thing was how we couldn’t figure out what to do next, just like being a small child who didn’t understand anything and couldn’t afford a walkthrough magazine all over again!! i love feeling both ignorant and helpless, it’s so fun

     @thomasfuchs Wow... That is just not accurate, my friend! Breath of the Wild was incredibly engrossing! Did you play it?

     @amy @patrickcentral @maddiefuzz @thomasfuchs I think people used to grinding in RPGs, like myself, found the breaking weapons particularly annoying. I sometimes played for half an hour and ended up "weaker" than I started because I used up every shield fighting a Lyle.
