| It's hard to think of Pokemon in the style of Breath of the Wild in practicality. Sure, [[https://Monsterwildlands.com/articles/my-kut-ku-adventure-in-monster-hunter-wilds-unlocking-the-wudwud-gear|Wud Wud Treasure]] anyone can edit a screenshot to have Gyarados in a BOTW lake or Rapidash racing across the field, but isn't that just what the Wild Area is? The illusion of an open world, the type that would look good in screenshots, but without meaning or purpose. Without any heart or direction, BOTW would not be the same game. It gives you freedom to go wherever you want, but it also provides contours across the map to steer you towards towns, it makes sure each location is thematically linked, and you often need to hit multiple landmarks to secure the tools and ingredients to reach the next one. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of it, I have to admire the level of design on show here. It's not a level I think Pokemon can match, and that's before you introduce the much more complicated issue of where you put the Pokemon and how you offer freedom while ensuring players don't meet their doom at the feathers of an overpowered Hawlucha 40 minutes into the g | Sure, you can fight people using an axe, but what about fighting people with the thing that the axe chops down?

| Wild Hearts comes as the latest game to join EA's line-up of "EA Originals," a publishing initiative between EA and other development studios. EA has already seen massive success with several games published through the EA Originals program including 2021 Game of the Year It Takes Two and Coldwood Interactive's Unravel .

| I’m not a huge fan of Breath of the Wild as a game . I am, however, a humongous fan of Breath of the Wild as a world that exists on the Nintendo Switch and could be filled with Pokemon. Pokemon Legends: Arceus was supposed to be the delivery of ‘Pokemon but Breath of the Wild’, but it now seems to be more like ‘Pokemon but Monster Hunter: Rise’. That’s disappointing - Breath of the Wild is much closer to my hypothetical perfect Pokemon game than Monster Hunter - but it might just be for the b | Monster Hunter to Monster Hunter, if you enjoy the witcher contracts that take Geralt all across the Continent and back you'll probably enjoy getting up close and personal with the many unique and peculiar beasts that threaten the rural Japanese town and surrounding maps in Monster Hunter Ri |

In Breath of the Wild, you go through weapons and shields extremely quickly, and they’re just broken and unusable once you’ve used them up. This game falls into that exact, problematic description that I’ve given above. Considering how great the rest of the game is, it’s unfortunate that so many people could not get past the durability sys |

| The Witcher series has become one of the biggest fantasy franchises around thanks to the success of CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3 and Neflix's The Witcher series. One of the many reasons for the series' success is its iconic protagonist, Geralt of Rivia. Geralt's dry wit, hard exterior, and stable of interesting relationship dynamics have helped him find a place in the hearts of The Witcher 's many f | Another way to enhance weapon durability would be by incorporating a way to upgrade the weapons, such that they take longer to break or wear down. In fact, a game in which you really have a choice for how to spend time and resources to deal with weapon durability would be the most ideal. For those that would rather not spend time constantly looking for new weapons, they could upgrade the ones that they have. If others would rather not bother with that, there would still be a lot of opportunities to pick up other weapons along the |

| The reveal trailer for Wild Hearts shows off a breathtaking world steeped in Japanese architecture and mythology. The game's first video introduces players to the world of Azuma, a lush landscape filled with a variety of unusual creatures. Wild Hearts looks to follow in a similar hunting gameplay style to Monster Hunter , showing off some of the massive beasts players will fight throughout their adventure. Some highlights of the initially revealed "Kemono" include a colossal boar covered in moss and algae, a giant squirrel that causes trees to grow, and a wolf in a frozen tun | At the end of the day, eliminating weapon durability systems entirely would also eliminate a big portion of strategy and realism from numerous games. Thus, adapting systems that allow for ways to prevent weapons from breaking entirely would resolve most players’ frustrations, and is the best win-win scena |

| Another place that Geralt would feel right at home in is the Nioh series. The Nioh games see players fighting through hordes of spirits in Souls-like combat through a variety of dodges and weapons. Geralt would be a great addition to Nioh as his nimble fighting style would mix well with the series' heavy emphasis on dodging and parrying enemy attacks. Geralt would also fit right into the game's dark universe while also bringing some levity through his dry commentary on the strange world. Geralt likely wouldn't fit into Nioh 's historic setting, but with how impressively successful Nioh 2 was , a crossover could be in the cards for Nioh and The Witcher series' futu | Like the two prior entries, the cooking system requires Link to just bring the ingredients he needs to a cooking pot. Unlike the previous entries, however, there is no easy compendium of dishes to reference. Trial and effort are required to figure out the best dishes to provide Link with the best meals and in turn the best bu |

| | However, this is not to say that durability systems should just be eliminated entirely. In fact, when done right, they can make gameplay feel more realistic in a way that isn’t infuriating. For starters, apart from survival games, weapons can still have a durability limit without breaking. Or perhaps eventually they will break, but you’re able to keep tabs on how worn out your weapons are, and you can choose to go and repair them before they get close to breaking entirely. This would keep the realism element without making the player feel like they need to entirely avoid using their better weapons. This would also avoid the aggravating part where you must constantly be finding new ones to pick up (though you likely would need to be gathering supplies as you progress through the game, to have the materials to fix weapons lat |

| A major focus of Wild Hearts ' reveal trailer that looks to set the game apart from Monster Hunter comes with the emphasis on technology. Players will be able to use a variety of technology and buildable items to aid them in battles with monsters, including building blocks to help players gain altitude. Some other inventions the players can use to aid them in battle include a helicopter-like propeller to hover over larger enemies and a hammer catapult. The trailer also teases the ability to upgrade players' weapons with a variety of effe | Final Fantasy 7 has a number of pretty funny joke weapons.
