"Modern Video Games Are Giving Kids Unrealistic Standards For How Many Swords They Can Carry At One Time"
FP EDIT: Really? Don't send me anything, pet a dog or cat for me, thanks!
snajgela
It's from Onion. You are just being trolled.
melwil
Don't hate the game, hate Hestu.

Thats not a savage lynel sword!!!
upinthebutt
Damn Link is ready to fight off an army or
zanderkaboose
He doesn’t even have a savage lynel blade in his inventory!

Max Payne: Two of everything, then add assault weapons, shot guns and incindiaries.
HaraDaya
I really loved how Max Payne 3 handled it. No holstering the twohanded weapons, but you could carry it with one hand while shooting a pistol

I'll have you fucking know, I can carry at least 100 swords, given I have the proper sling!!!
ArdentSlacker
You're telling me you can lift 300 lbs and run up a mountain?
khaoselement
Also an unrealistic view on how long a sword lasts. *hit twice, throw away because shattered*
ireplysometimes
Well maybe if they didn't break every 5 god damn swings I wouldn't need so many
Lunazaak
Of COURSE I need that many!! THEY BREAK SO FAST
thedeg
Weapons breaking is the worst mechanic ever.
ArdentSlacker
It's not great. Realistically, a lot of things should get less sharp until you spend some time with a whetstone. But breaking should be 1+
ArdentSlacker
2+ rare, and it should make sense when it does. Like you're fighting a rock with a pointy. And... the broken bit should still be better than
ArdentSlacker
3/3 nothing. Yeah, replace *that* asap, because it's almost as good as a rock for hitting things. But until you find a rock...
thedeg
I don't think you need it to be more logical. The mechanic just sucks. It doesnt add to anything, so it should never be implemented
ArdentSlacker
Monster hunter world does this thing where you can sharpen up your weapon. Treat it like a buff instead of a penalty, ya?
thedeg
Yeah, thats totally different. Could just have whetstones or whatever to find
MischievousDuck
Everyone knows you may only take a bushel of swords with you and leave two bushels at home
ThisGuyHere
Why that's nearly 64 US pints (35.2 liters) of cold hard steel.
SlyeFox
What's that in Imperial?
ThisGuyHere
35.2 liters is roughly 9.3 Gallons
SlyeFox
I meant Imperial Pints.

Did she not know you can put at least 10 of em up your ass

Once.

Link's main superpower has always been hammerspace.

Jesus, what kind of person would go out and find that many Korok Seeds? Finding the shrines is one thing, but you need 441 of them...
OpenMindOpenMouth
What really fucking shits me is I have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs but yep that's right fuck you 2 rings only wearable eva.
dereklarsen
::cries in Skyrim::
Mimsey
I recall an old RPG that made the excuse that magic artifacts could tear the wearer apart, so you could only use 1 ring per hand.
Ganglecreep
How about neck slots? I wanna be the Mr T of magical amulets dammit.
Talligan
Y'all wanna be running around like this motherfucker? https://thumbs.gfycat.com/RichThankfulCrayfish-size_restricted.gif
letsgotomars
He did seem rather pleased with himself tbh
drzdeano
If they were magic rings, yes.
Talligan
Well my comment backfired.
sunyudai
Running around as a "God-emperor" you mean? Yes?
Kaesh
Are you implying there can be more than one God-Emperor?
sunyudai
Well, he's dead, so the job seems open.

Thanks!

Bob423
Gameplay balancing's a bitch. I modded Skyrim to let me equip 10 rings...got OP much faster than usual.
Darkspire
No kidding, adding 8 magical artifacts on top of everything else is naturally going to make you damn near invincible.
AlexSomething
Some games at least try to justify it with the "magical items interfere with each other" angle
JHawke
Wonder why the +1str ring interferes just as much as the 6 stats ring then.
ArdentSlacker
You get a short in the ether and they discharge all the energy at once. Best case, your arm is a tentacle. Worst case, that tentacle eats ya
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
If the threshold of interference is low, one could interfere significantly more but have no difference in effective interference.
Nemacol
Also gives unrealistic expectations of how long a weapon will last. Magic sword that shoots fire or lightning ? You can swing it twice.
Zaayl
All that fire and lightning really fucked up the temper of the blade :P
Nemacol
it must! :D
beaubrent
I love this game, but after hitting something five times with a weapon, it breaks. That is really very stupid.
Gasnia
Worse thing for me is spears, I throw them one and they explode.
sunyudai
That's what throwing non-boomerangs does in that game - if you hit an enemy, they auto-crit for 2x damage and explode. That damage...
sunyudai
multiplier stacks with the 2x damage if the weapon would break from the hit, so you can throw a damaged weapon for 3x damage.
Gasnia
But that's what I don't like. They treat boomerangs like they're the only throwing weapons when spears are as well.
sunyudai
Perhaps, but even if they didn't break it'd be a waste to throw the Spears, their main advantage is their rapid stab rate.
darkprincess0212
Did you get the DLC? There’s a new trial to unlock the master sword but it’s 54 levels!
sunyudai
That doesn't unlock it, you have to have it unlocked already to start the trials. They are divided into 3 groups, each group ...
darkprincess0212
I have the master sword already if that’s what you mean. I mean unlock it as in the trial makes the sword permanently full power.
sunyudai
Ah, alrighty, yeah, miscommunication then, talking about the same thing in different terms.
sunyudai
powers up the master sword when it is not full powered by 10 damage.
darkprincess0212
I just started it the other day. I got to 6 before I realized there were 54 rooms. I was like meh...I’m gonna shelf this one for later...
sunyudai
First one is 12 rooms, it gives you a +10 and lets you back out after that.
AggravatedWookie
Where in the hell are your spears, lad?

"Modern Video Games Are Giving Kids Unrealistic Standards For How Many Times You Can Swing A Sword Before It Breaks"
ShowMeTheGoodsorPizza
"Sets them up for failure when they do finally carry swords" how many Chris grow up and carry swords on a daily basis?!
wishdale
If i ventured for something realistic i would leave my apartment.
VeryDubiousThisWillEndWell
And what kind of slopes they can actually climb over
TheDetox
How people get that much swords? Here's my ass in BOTW with barely a dumb club to fend enemies off with. I guess I do gotta get good.
JauneHabanero
If you find koroks you can trade the seeds for weapon slots. Once you have the Master Sword it becomes easier to keep weapons.
ikindafail
There's several weapons that respawn. I know there's iron sledgehammers at the golf minigame, plus at your home in Hateno Village...
ikindafail
Plus the major towns have weapons laying around them. Zora Village has silver weapons on the bridge leading out of town...
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
What utter nonsense!
Aquadon28
those aren't swords
DarthFutuza
If you swing em around hard enough they might be.
GlobalStrike
Be sure to fix bayonets first.
Brommith
You're right. They're bigger and heavier. Stands to reason you could do the same with swords.
WhatIsThisNonsenseIAmSeeing
Borderlands?

Grand theft auto?

I miss being able to carry 20 weapons at once. Damn consoles and their 2 weapon limits.
melwil
Joke's on you, that's a console game.
DeeDoubleYu
The 2 gun limit was one of the things that made halo great, forced you to use alien weapons mid battle, so baller.
Elitex62
2-4 gun limit can be an interesting gameplay mechanic, but not every shooter needs it.
CaptRandom1290
We should make a game that lets you pick how many holsters you equip before you start a mission, but it affects your speed and stealth
PirateRabbitSim
ME3 sort of did that.
braydelritter
Bet, do you have a graphic designer for me?
ererr
Can't you hold a lot in dark souls 3?..
YourWaifuIsTrash
Pretty sure there's no limit to how many you can have in your inventory in DS3, but each one equipped increases encumbrance
TylerWarranty
Shooters of yesteryear allowed a more or less infinite wheel of weapons. Now you typically get 2
HowCurious
Where do you get the sword from Majoras mask??
DecisiveMoonBurgers
The Majora's mask and Fierce Deity amiibo. It is a random drop.
JinTonic
Found out about the korok-seed trade after collecting 150 of the damned things and playing only with the default weapon slots... THE RAGE
q2grapple
Wait until you find out those are little poops
ikindafail
There's several things in the game that tell you about Hestu... The very first Korok you find tells you to return the seeds to him
Riptide00
Back in my generation, we knew that 5 to 10 swords was enough. Realistically, no one needs more that.
erwanairone360
Only one, vorpal is enough
AnonOmis1000
Also back in your day you could carry every gun you picked up, including a rocket launcher and minigun. Now you're limited to 2 or 3 usually
xrufus7x
I miss those days.

Really well where am I going to store all my elemental swords,spears and the clubs I have ripped off the bodies of a newly endangered race

*laughs while I edit Skyrim to remove the max carrying limit*

Hmmm let's see here...max carry weight....3892489347892375983275832947548975345

Everyone knows Locke does more damage by throwing a sword than wielding one, which means you need all the swords.
Pentacus
Locke was the Thie... "Treasure Hunter". Shadow was the Ninja (though if you managed to save Shadow, Gogo could mimic Throw later as well)
billybobthorton1
Oh god your right. I am a retard. In my defense im just getting my first cup of coffee. Forgive me internetz!
HubicPairs
have you seen how shitty the BotW swords are? they don’t make em like they used to.
JahNoodles
What we truly need is an assault sword

BishlamekGurpgork
I want a sword that actually fires other swords, even if all my hearts aren't full, without having to swing again for every sword it fires.
Twitchiopolis
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/SWORDSPLOSION!!!
Shmiddty
Now we just need a gun that shoots SWORDSPLOSIONs.
CoBr2
My first thought. God I love that game, any news on when 3 is coming out?
BishlamekGurpgork
I haven't heard anything other than that texturing tech demo, the fact that they are working on SOMETHING, and that flamethrower tweet.
Welley
Terraria
Thewulasvegas
Erdrick's sword.
ChloeAsh
Those who played Tibia needed just two.
PTMdragon
unless they break every 10 swings
BahamutBBob
Biggest reason I stopped playing this piece of shit.
q2grapple
This!!!!! Zelda makes me a bit stab by with how quick stuff breaks
TheAdventuresofStealy
Different weapons have different durability, and it's usually not apparent by just looking at the weapon. Some stuff lasts quite a while.
AlvardReynolds
Simply play it on CEMU and use BOTW editor to alter the resistance of your weapons. Problem solved.
Krakencrotch
...Holy shit, I could just fucking edit that?
eddas
Only if you play it on a WiiU emulator on your computer.
TobiOfTheAkatsuki
It's to encourage you to use a variety of weapons. If they didn't break, I would never have found my love for Spears.
TheAdventuresofStealy
This guy is wearing Barbarian armor though, it's best with the two-handed swingy weapons.
q2grapple
Britney is amazing, I’ll give you that.
TheAdventuresofStealy
Also, it's actually a result of the game being so wide open. Otherwise people would just go straight for the best weapon and use it all game
nickwould
Warframe is the game with the most weapons.
ArdentSlacker
and they anti-break. You use the shit out of 'em and they level up.
joeyhoffrand
I kinda doubt that they have the most UNIQUE weapons, though. and anti-break is just awkward as a term...
ArdentSlacker
I have 140 characters, do you want me to explain one interpretation of reversing the entropic decay natural to things in our universe? :D
joeyhoffrand
yes.
ArdentSlacker
It anti-breaks.
