if weapon durabillity is too annoying for you in BotW 5 hours in you need to start becoming a better player.

And he knew very well what would happen when he gave Zelda 7/10.

I don't prefer these sort of systems but I've found that I actually enjoy them less when I attempt to do what you're doing "saving weapons".  I started caring a lot less about this sytem once I didn't care about it and just used whatever I wanted. Like Dying LIght had a similar system and I just used whatever I wanted when I wanted an I didn't care. I just worried about playing the game and using what I wanted when I wanted. When you do that you tend to care a lot less about this sort of stuff.

Yeah i understand, i will still play the game (obviously) and make a more solid opinion from that.

But i got 2 questions

1) in average how many hits does a weapon take before breaking? because i just saw him go through quite a few just fighting some enemies

2) Can you reapair all broken weapons? because im the type that likes to collect and if cool equipmet breaks and cant be repaired then i can see myself (just like Jim) probably never using some of those for fear of losing them.

No repair system at all.

There are a handful of "Unique Weapons" that I won't spoil (Master Sword obviously) that are fixable. Or you actually just have someone make you a new one. But they are unique in that you can not find them in the wild. Or only one in the wild.  

But all the uninique weapons found in the wild are not repairable. When they break, they are destroyed. When they say badly damaged, there is no way to repair them. Luckly they are all common though. They may seem rare at a time, but they are not. They may be more common in some areas, so if you want to replenish your stock of say fire weapons, you need to head to an area. So a quick, quick travel will do. Or a long horse ride if you playing all natural like.

After finishing every divine beast you get a weapon that you can get back for free if it breaks, which is basically the same as repairing. Have you actually played the game? 

If only there was a quicker way to change weapons. Like if their could have been a... I don't know, second screen with equipment on it you could just tap and have the next weapon.

No, you got me. Never played the game.

Alright, those weapons in the footage were breaking with like 4 - 6 freaking hits, that is just absurd, specially having to switch weapons so many times and stopping the flow of combat. People are comparing it TW3, but I've gone hours in TW3 without worrying about weapon durability, this is a whole new level of annoyance. I mean, at least last a full fight before breaking. I'm not a fan of the "it's only early on" defense since it basically admits it is a problem but it's only really annoying/disruptive early on.

Answered #2 already in post after yours and before this. But hoarding is not really possible, cause you only start with like 5 spots to even hold a sword. You upgrade to like 25 or something later, but still it always feels like too small. So don't expect to hoard. It's just not possible.

As for how long each lasts. The btter the weapon, the longer it lasts. Later in game you will find weapons that have a +durability stat on them, so they obviously last longer as well. But then it comes down to using the right weapons. Say your fighting a box or a tree trunk. An axe will take them down no problem and can chop down or break hundreds of boxes. Yet you use your sword and it will break after only a couple trees or a few boxes. Same with mining. use a hammer and you can mine 50 deposits. Use anything else and you may get through 2.

Enemies are the same. If one has a shield and you just repeatedly force your way through their shield the wepaon will likely not last that fight against that one guy. If you sneak up and stealth kill enemies you will kill like 100 before it breaks.

But as teh game goes, I find I'm throwing a weapon down or at an enemy to get rid of it to pick up a new one before it ever breaks on me. It's only the tough bosses like Lynell and others that I go through a full weapon or two in teh fight. But as I said, you find equivalent or better weapons as loot after fight so its fine.

It's not his only complaint tho. His review deals more indepth about the other things that he found to be aggravating or just questionable design. Saying that 7/10 is harsh, in my mind, is close to saying that a zelda game should not be score anything below an 8.
