His review is very professional and validates his points. I even saw a clip of Zelda gameplay and that weapon durability thing looks annoying and constantly interrupts the flow of gameplay. Also the world looks empty compared to most modern open world games.

Jim is sassy but he always has a point. I have disagreed with his reviews such s Assassin's Creed 2 which he gave a 4.5 out of ten and is one of my favourite games of all time and Killzone 3 which he gave a 10 out of ten but I would give an 8 out of ten. Still the opinion he presented inthose reviews were accurate, like his complaints about Assassin's Creed 2's combat was accurate though that didn't bother me in the game but it did bother him. Also his Horizon Zero Dawn review is accurate and I agree with most of what he said in his review.

That's funny because it was his Assassin's Creed 2 review that first endeared him to me. Everyone was salivating over the game, but Sterling pointed out that its huge open world was populated almost exclusively with filler.

Did he really give Killzone 3 a 10/10? Dude is all over the place.

About BotW: I strongly urge you to play the game. Watching a YouTube clip doesn't do the game justice. Trust me, the game is far from empty. And breakable weapons don't interrupt the flow of gameplay. I'd argue they make combat all the more interesting, unpredictable, and spontaneous. Your mileage may vary, though.

I watched a video recently about someone talking about Breath of the Wild and it's open world and concept of adventure and survival and it has applied to my experience as well. No matter where you are, even on an open field, you'll be constantly thinking. Where do you wanna go, what do you have in your inventory, did you cook enough food, how's your health, is there enemies up ahead, is there something on the right/left, how are my weapons holding up, etc.

I think personally the breakable weapons adds onto the fight for survival. You c ant be reckless fighting and get away with it like past games. I even didn't mind the few limits of the Master Sword because I know it would break the game.
