If we're lucky the numbers get higher tho
Are you asking for a better weapon with every fight? That's ridiculous.

That was the backward gun thing. I guess they don't know about it.

oh my god the gun was still backwards?
Not true.
It pisses some people off.
Others get grossed out by it.
That's doing something!

The only good thing about the Mako was that you could go fucking fast. Yeah, let's turn that thing into a tractor...
Key difference is that combat is fun and really dynamic, especially when weird shit happens with the elements and the weather, and the stuff the AI does. You don't always get new weapons but it doesn't mean it's pointless. If you want to avoid it too that's an option.
you literally said the loop of fighting is getting newer and better weapons. when i said the combat is meaningless. the combat IS meaningless because its almost always a zero sum game. you rarely get new and better weapons outside of very specific fights and even then, a lot of those fights arent worh having
You don't even need good weapons to deal with enemies in Zelda.
"oh no my 20 damage sword broke!"
well just grab any of the other 20 damage items dropped by most of the enemies in the game.
The weapons don't matter. You don't need better weapons to do anything in that game.
I actually hate most of the higher damage 2 handers because i can't use my shield.
Ill take down a Lynel with anything

The pacing of the whole scene introducing Peebee was just bizarre. Followed by a weird fade into combat.

As a Mass Effect fan. It kind of a downer.

Peebee is the... best acted and technically-implemented character in ME:A? My mind is being blown right now.

Hence combat's meaningless. Heck, you're able to take a Lynel down with anything because they're so easy to dodge/parry.

Alright. You don't like the combat and weapon breaking. I can understand that.
It's still not meaningless. It's odd, but it's good. I guess video games have trained us to keep the weapons and have a favourite one. Zelda isn't like that. Some like it, some don't.
Anyway, EA seems to be in a rough spot.

I find the combat really fun. I don't always need a crazy awesome reward at the end of it. There is a possibility for that sure, but it doesn't need to happen all the time.
This idea of rewarding the player with some item or XP or whatever is how we've gotten into this trash design uniformity of every game having XP or some bullshit skill tree progression. Why can't fun, surprising combat be it's own reward?

Also you kind of don't need the best weapons for zelda? I'm sitting on like multiple elemental weapons and lynel weapons but haven't used them much.
so the combat is meaningless

The combat's fun when you want to play around with how the different systems interact. However, the scale of the world and the frequency of near identical encounters along with the lack of reward (I just beat a camp to get 10 arrows from a chest, woo!) makes 99% of the enemies in the game no worth engaging.
