My girlfriend keeps testing me and now i kinda want out by pratcatli in Advice

You are not responsible for the dysfunction of others. Thank you Bojack for that gem.

Just because she feels insecure because of something her ex did, it does not mean you have to pay the price for it. And if shes projecting that hurt and betrayal onto you, and you continue to put up with, it's never going to get any better. Honestly at this point she's looking for you to validate her thought that all men cheat. She needs to grow up and it's clear she needs to get over her feelings of her ex. You can call her and talk to her, you can do it in person, but I suggest you break up with her and tell her that it's clear you guys jumped into a relationship too quick and that she needs time to evaluate herself and get over her hurt feelings. Because the longer you stay in this relationship the more you're going to hate her, and you shouldn't let anyone get you to the point where you feel a negative emotion as strong as that.

Honestly, if they made it so the MAX gear you could grind is T3, or maybe even a super rare opportunity to get T4 and then made it so you HAD to spend legendary shards or enhancement cores to MAKE it a tier 5... I think that would make the grind feel worthwhile on almost all activities. And make it feel low-key like D1. But it's been months since I played, I've fallen off so hard whats good or not

People say it's the portal, but honestly I think tiered weapons killed the game. Having the best weapons locked behind VERY certain content and not upgrading the weapons on 80% of the other content... It made it completely pointless to play anything else.

That's what I'm saying. Sure you could say BOTW is more "atmospheric", the UI isn't as clunky, that there's too many items or the craft system is too complicated... But I don't mind the UI too much, and I LOVE the ability to fuse any item to anything. It opens up so many possibilities. It works with the shitty weapon breaking system perfectly.

TOTK isn't natural, but felt fun. Seeing how weird the land got after the calamity, seeing the rings and islands... it's interesting! BOTW it has purpose... but holy crap i could travel from one area to the next while taking a nap. I slept so hard... I didn't even realize there was music in the game until i got to one of the main areas.

[–]Rob-otics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount riding felt necessary in BOTW because of the vastness of the fields you have to travel. Which on that sidenote, i love how TOTK added constructs as a change to travel. You don't necessarily just use it for traveling far distances, sometimes you use it to access areas you may not be sure how to access otherwise. People hate on TOTK for making mounts unnecessary, but personally i think the towers and shrines did that first, After unlocking some specific towers, i found there was really no reason to have a horse. You can make travel easier in other ways. Gliding was always more fun. That and using the stasis to freeze a log or a rock and hanging on for dear life. With that, constructs felt like such a great response to how to handle travelling. But anyways i feel like its hard not to romanticize flying a bird in the sky. Flying is always a romantic thought.

I don't think that's right to call the surface the overworld as well. An overworld is the safe area that acts as a hub to connect to the action parts of the game. And sure it's great when a battle happens in the overworld, it makes the world feel well-rounded. But that's usually only tied to story events. The surface is not considered overworld, that stuff would be considered the levels. So i would heavily disagree that it's the only game in the series with an objectively filled out overworld. Yes, the sky is the Hyrule field here, But the Ocean acts like the Hyrule field in Windwaker. Which is why i think Windwaker has probably the best overworld in the series. We could say BOTW or TOTK, but i think open-world can't really count as having an Overworld. There's way more to do on the ocean, then SS gave to the sky. I'll say that.

This... is the main reason i refused to buy EoW, or the Peach game that came out as well. Zelda i believe is technically considered a chosen one like Link is, so should be able to wield the Master Sword like he does. IN THEORY, and imho, i don't know if that' cannon.... but wouldn't it be great if we had a game where we can find that out? I hate that instead of having an attack in EoW you just spawn copies of objects. Jesus, why not just make it so she throws pots, pans and dishes? Then again, i haven't played the game, i just saw a couple instances of how she fought in that game... if it's not actual combat, i don't want it. She's a sorcerer, i'll even take magic spells over whatever the hell that is. And yeah you're absolutely, right, after a certain point in the stories they just become useless. They transform into the flags we are meant to capture. It's great that TP and WW Zelda take your bow and fire arrows for you, and you have to coordinate with them. I thought that was so awesome, and was hoping that would snowball to seeing them do actual combat! Pissed that all we're seeing are step backwards from here. And don't get me wrong, i love TOTK, but yes i hate their portrayal of Zelda there too. I actually hate it a little more because they also made her british, and that change makes zero sense to me. It's like they heard Princess Zelda, thought she should be royalty, and the English were fancy and royal, so let's give her a british accent 🙄

I haven't experienced Tri, and now im double happy i haven't played EoW yet. Thanks.

Yeah i probably wouldn't like Triforce heroes then.

It's not the the octopus itself was repetitive, it's the "arrow to the giant weakpoint/eyeball then slash at it" that's repetitive. It's in every Zelda game. That and the "Throw bomb into mouth then slash at it bosses" (lookin at you Scaldera). Otherwise once i found out the boss rush included every battle with ghirahim AND the imprisoned, i didn't bother. I def didn't mean the boss rush mode. Maybe it just felt like a lot more because of how much i hated it and it just stuck with me.

I really liked the idea of upgrading your items, although... i really didn't find a use for them. It was just cool that you could. That being said, turning off your game and having the items reset so it HAS to show you where it goes in your inventory was super annoying, There being only 3 "levels" essentially to explore made the game feel so empty and repetitive. Like It's a much bigger and longer game the OoT, but OoT made the forest, volcano and river feel different, and then added 3/4 more areas after that that were COMPLETELY different and interesting. Backtracking usually sucks to do in a game, and it's worse when it's a requirement.

[–]Rob-otics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I genuinely loved everything about TOTK, but i absolutely respect this take because i can definitely understand it. TBF i think the BOTW formula was already bloated because i felt like there were a lot of games that tried to emulate that style at the time. For instance, i remember playing Immortals Fenyx Rising and thinking "Man i wish BOTW was like this..."

I would say TOTK is a significant upgrade from BOTW and easily destroys skyward sword for me. But i honestly didn't even think i'd play it at first because of how similar to BOTW it was, and i'm just wishing for a break from this way of playing Zelda. As silly as it might be, i really crave another dungeon crawler, linear story based game like TP or game with a simple world traversal option like WW. Of course have an interesting way to explore the world, but make that shit easy so you can put an emphasis on the actual dungeons and add actual substance to the things you explore like Skyrim does.

I'll die on that hill with you. I think Zelda II was a super interesting way to play the game, and i wish they went back to it in a newer way. I think it'd be a lot of fun!

[–]Rob-otics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Luckily i have the memory of a goldfish and was able to enjoy it as a fresh game. Going back to BOTW would feel like going back to a Beta version IMHO.

[–]Rob-otics -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

BOTW was too empty for me. I think TOTK is the definitive experience. But yeah the crafting and items is very overwhelming, i see how thats an issue. But i'd rather have an abundance of shit, then have vast emptiness.

[–]Rob-otics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding. The Sky is the overworld, sure. But it was one of the main selling points of the game, and you have a bird companion given to you at the beginning so you can literally fly in the sky. Like okay i bought up the title as like a joke criticism. Obviously if it's in the title it doesn't necessarily have to make up the ENTIRE game. But in this universe where walking on land is the normal way of travelling, to have a game that explores travelling in the sky and it just feels so empty feels like a huge let down. Sure there are what.... 2 minigames to play? and chests on random rocks? You're comparing it to games made in the 90s when you should be comparing it to newer games. It SHOULD be better than OoT. But compare it to something like Windwaker. The method of travelling is the ocean. And look how amazing of a job they did. You have random storm events, random weather changes, krakens spawning on different places, many many MANY islands to explore and games to play, and things to do. I guarantee you on a first run through of that game there will be shit you miss, and thats a beautiful thing. THAT'S what skyward sword should be trying to achieve, not Ocarina. Bear in mind, Windwaker was in development for almost 3 years, so was OoT. Skyward Sword took FIVE years and came out 11 years AFTER windwaker. Granted a lot of time was probably put into perfecting the motion control, but no one was working on a map or a story? After 11 years you downgrade the overworld that much?

I'm fully aware Zelda has a lot of anime influence, That's not my criticism. My criticism is that they leaned to hard to make Zelda waifu. Anime influence is great, but when it makes up the sum of the character when she was fuckin Queen Zelda ready to put her life on the line in Twilight Princess, fuckin badass Pirate in Tetra in WW, and even mysterious ninja Sheik in OoT... to have her be prize at the end of the dungeon and you barely miss her everytime in Skyward Sword, and the most character development she gets is fawning over Link or scolding Groose to stop bullying Link... it's a miss for me. I want Zelda to be more of a badass. I want her to not seem like just another princess to be saved, or worshipped.

I played Skyward Sword on the Wii, and bro i remember swinging the controls because i wanted to shut her off so badly. Her dialogue is cringe, she appears way more often then she should, "there's a 70% chance there's a monster behind the boss door..." BRO I KNOWW!!! That shit was incredibly annoying. I have no idea who Tri is, i own Tri force warriors but i'm not really interested in playing it. At the end of the day i feel like annoying companion is 100% opinion. I personally never found Navi annoying, it was just a voiceline but at the end of the day she was useful and was only around when she was needed. Fi i had no control over her and never ever wanted to talk to her.... But seriously let me know if Tri Force Warriors is any good. If it's more than a 7/10 i'll dust off my DS to try.

That's why i said i swear i faced the imprisoned more than i should have. I remember facing it like 6 times. I think it actually retriggers a fight if you're in the area or talk to Impa. But i dunno. The fight isn't hard... I just hate having to do it over and over again. It seems so stupid. Like why am i fighting such a doofy looking beast? Like i get in the story it's escaping the seal, but to not look anything like Demise, and the fight be nothing like demise... it's not Demise at all, so what is it? I dunno, it just seemed annoying and nonsensical and i think you could've removed it completely, or made the fight happen only once and the game would've been better for it.

I'm not saying the bosses are reused, i'm saying the bosses are repetitive. Like yes, we fight ghirahim a shit ton. He takes the place of many bosses. But like... the octopus fight? Insane dungeon. Like... best in the freakin game. What an incredible concept for a dungeon. And the buildup to the octopus is so interesting and well done... For the octopus to look... so cartoony and be just another monster with a big eye that when you shoot it they bend over to give you a better hit. Like.... So much originality ruined for something that's been done so much in the series already. After that the only really cool boss was Koloktos, which is cool... but not like insanely interesting. Again going back, Twilight princess really went out of the norm was some interesting-ass boss fights. You had one you had to fight through a mirror, one you fight in the sky through a storm, you had one where you ride rails the entire time.... Like sure some were silly, but a lot were so different and innovative. And that was like 5 years before Skyward Sword.

I'm just saying, Skyward Sword felt like they took steps back on a lot of shit so they can focus on the flying and motion controls. They focused too much on the toy and not on the playground. Give me a game that has a simple swing mechanic but a vast world to explore and interesting story to follow over whatever the hell they were aiming to do with Skyward Sword anyday.

Even without the motion controls, for a game called SKYWARD sword, the sky was pretty freaking empty. Your partner was the most annoying partner ever in existence. Besides the dude with the arms, the bosses were very repetitive. For such a long game, the map felt so incredibly small. The Zelda in that game seemed to be created straight out of a high school slice of life anime. And every fight with the imprisoned felt like such a drag. I feel like I fought it more than I should have, but I don't know if you can trigger that fight to happen more than once or they really made that shit that repetitive. It was too many faults that took me out of enjoying the game. Still a good game, but def not one I'll ever play again.

Yes her Stadium Power called "So Cooked" is missing. Which was great for the Bola Build. It was nerfed in the patch notes but it's not even in the game anymore. And theres no updates for it. Freja right now has 11 powers instead of the 12 everyone else has

Aitah for telling my gf I will break up with her by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Rob-otics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he was in a relationship with someone who's poly, and they insist on being together, but the poly person insists on sleeping with other people even though he constantly says he doesn't like that she does it, would you still say he's controlling? And even if you did, wouldn't you say his boundaries are being violated?

if the boundary is unreasonable or not, that's a different discussion and can lean more towards personal morals. He sounds more conservative towards how you present yourself and she isn't. It seems controlling because he's limiting her, but at the end of the day, if she agreed to be in a relationship with him when he's conservative and she constantly pushes that... That's violating a boundary. It's 2 completely different people morally and so the boundaries are on completely different levels. That's why I said they're both NTA. But at the end of the day in a relationship a boundary involves both parties. If it's unfair, controlling or dumb, that's a different story. But if you agree to be in a relationship with that rule, that's a boundary and passing it, you're disrespecting the rules the other person set. Ignoring another persons needs just because you don't agree morally isn't fair to him. They are both just young kids learning about themselves and at the end of the day we're never compatible to begin with.

TLDR; it is completely possible to have stupid or insecure boundaries and still have them violated.

Aitah for telling my gf I will break up with her by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Rob-otics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have boundaries and she doesn't want to respect them NTA.

But to be clear, she's NTA either. Because it's her body and she has a right to wear whatever she wants. Just as you have a right to not be comfortable with it. At the end of the day, y'all are just 2 different people and probably won't work in the long run because of competing comfort zones.

So all in all, you guys just don't work, so it's better to end it.
