Certainly. What’s also interesting is that you missed the point. The rain is not esthetical, nor just there to annoy you. Curl already explained how the rain effects a plethora of other game mechanics, and he didn’t even mention everything, making it a crucial part of the workings of the game. Removing it would break a whole bunch of things. So where’s the line? Why is it okay for you to disable rain but not for me to disable enemies? Or you can ask just for an option to remove the inability to climb in the rain, but if you want options in games that specific I might as well ask not to get rid of all enemies, but just Lynels, since those are the ones that kill me. Obviously from the developer’s standpoint the rain is meant to be something you’ll “have to deal with”, because their vision for the game is to inspire people to be creative in ‘the wild’ and for them to find their own ways to their goal. That’s why Vivster’s again dramatizing, you don’t have to “sit around and wait” at all, you just have to look around and come up with something else; the point of the game. Something I always did at least. Anyway, nobody would be talking about this if the Climbing Gear’s special power was being able to climb in the rain, something I also expected it to have initially, I agree to that. |
I didn't miss the point, you just made a really poor comparison. Removing rain and removing enemies are not even remotely the same thing. Also, I never said you couldn't disable enemies if you want that. I certainly have no problem with it.
If this game were on PC and had mod support, there would already be a mod to remove the rain and it would likely have hundreds of thousands of downloads and tens of thousands of upvotes. That's how it is with other games and, no, it doesn't break them. People play the games and they adjust it the way they want and they enjoy the game more. I don't know why that bothers you. People modify games to their taste and it gives them a more enjoyable experience.
I mean, what you are arguing against is literally happening with other games and people absolutely love the freedom. Skyrim has well over 50,000 mods, some of which completely revamp systems and game-play elements, and no one is upset because thousands of people aren't playing "the way the developers intended."
Your argument has already been reduced to ruins many times over by the fact that modding is growing in popularity and support by leaps and bounds and no one is complaining about it.
