    korok seeds and stuff are never going to repopulate but i think trees and stuff do at the 3 day red moon when the monsters do. Certainly fruit and stuff does then.

    i don't think there are infinite diamonds or anything but i could be wrong

    you need approximately 1% as much stuff as you think you do

    1.) "There's nothing to do the game is too open" - lacking initiative, lacking sense of wonder

    2.) "The world is empty" - blunted sense of beauty, deficient spatial aesthetic appreciation, unimaginative

    3.) "The weapons break too fast! I want my weapons forever" - Obsessed with control, inflexible, hoarder

    4.) "There's not enough big dungeons" - ok this is actually true

    Am I crazy or wasn't there a [motorcycling] the countryside thread

    I just navigated to some archived page on accident, thought I saw it out of the corner of my eye, and then it was gone

    Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

    Ah, I was really wondering about the fruit, mushrooms, and etc. Like, you get SO MUCH that I could see them never repopulating as a way to encourage people to look around a bit, check over hill and under dale and etc.

    that would be mean to little kids tho, who are less likely to use them efficiently

    good to know!

    there's a way to get more health that basically trivializes the game that relies on the reset

    The idea that some gamers find Breath of the World "empty" was initially so shocking to me because the landscape itself is CRAMMED with playfully designed elements and stunningly beautiful living art. The design expertly lures you from place to place and puts you into just the right spot to compose perfect vistas over and over. It's no accident that this keeps happening, it's all hand made and intentional.

    There are surreal landscapes like three identical hills with three identical trees on them. There are furrows in hills designed to funnel rocks like a big marble machine. There are snowboard courses and woods designed for stalking deer. Trees positioned for you to make bridges. It's this amazing pastoral wonderland of haunting beauty.

    And some people play the game and they literally don't see it. It's empty.

    The basic BotW rule is that if it isn't in a chest, then it regenerates. Random swords stuck in the ground, enemies, trees and fruit, etc. Chests don't, I think they're the only exception.

    I already played The Witness and almost immediately gave up, but I'm going to torrent Breath of the Wild and then delete it without opening just to be sure

    I think it was pretty masterful how the game emphasizes going to high places because 1) you need to activate the towers, and 2) you want to survey for shrines

    but then these core gameplay loops also generate engaging travel experiences as you plot your approach and end in sublimely beautiful vistas!

    DK possesses the deep personality flaw of lack of conviction, and probably also possesses the deep personality flaw of being bad at video games.
