So edgy. You are probably the type of person who would randomly piss into peoples coffees if you worked in a diner.
Not true. "There also wasn't a big emphasis on solving puzzles, just recovering items used to place in the towns via Georama mode according to the villagers' wishes. Combat is also enjoyable with the occasional QTE sequence during duels."
I'm not pulling the comparison out of thin air; Dark Cloud has been compared to Ocarina of Time by critics, it is the same genre, and it is only a console generation apart, not multiple.
That's, uh, not exactly much to go on.
I didn't say you were, but from a position of no context they seem very different.
The first Zelda is one of the most poorly aged games ever made. Let me guess. You're the type who finds the story set pieces nd characters of those wannabe movies Bioware, Rockstar and Kojima makes to be fantastic? Never played Myst, but it speaks for itself that a game completely build around puzzles might have better than the ones find in Zelda...
Papers Please > Death Stranding
No not really. I hate how pretentious Rockstar games are with regards to their "cinematic" games. They just feel like bland knockoffs to me. I hate what they did to Max Payne 3 and I dislike RDR2. Haven't had the chance to play anything Bioware and I like the Metal Gear series for its gameplay (same reason I've been into Splinter Cell since game one). But hey that is what happens when you assume you make an ass out of u.
In regards to the first Zelda once you get past the graphics there is a lot of fun to be had exploring and just discovering what the game world holds. The multitude of ways one can approach it and the flexibility is what I like about it. There is a whole world waiting to be discovered and no fluff to bother you while you're doing it.
You're probably right but even the leveling up is different in Dark Cloud focusing on the weapons so I never really viewed it as an RPG similar to how I don't view Zelda as an RPG. And I know some people didn't like the thirst mechanic but I didn't think it was much of a detriment to the overall experience. Persona does feature randomly-generated dungeons but that's the only similarity in my opinion.
Thanks. Obviously everyone's opinion is going to be different and people like games for different reasons. I'll agree that these two games are wildly different (outside of a few common similarities like having a silent protagonist) and are definitely odd to compare against each other.
Is also one of OoT strongest points. Every point in that game is very different from eachother.
Well, ok then. Which games do you think does characterization, story and set pieces the best?
Please say you at least finished OoT. Like how far did you get? Dodongo's Cavern is literally the second dungeon you go into toward the beginning of the game. Not liking puzzles would definitely taint ones opinion of Zelda since puzzles are a big part of the game. So there is that, but if you didn't finish the game and only got to Dodongo's Cavern before you quit, it's hard to take your opinion more seriously.
I did complete Dodongo's Cavern but stopped short of reaching the Zoras. I know it's still early in the game but I remember being distracted by other areas like the farm and graveyard, areas which I think you go to later on in the story. I have played other Zelda games of which the only one I came close to completing was A Link Between Worlds but I kept dying from Yuga Ganon so I just gave up.
I just love the header tagline: "TOKYO GAME SHOW: All the games, all the babes! pg.20". Now imagine if modern gaming journalism were so bold.
Dark Cloud, Final Fantasy IX, Gran Turismo 3, Twisted Metal Black... I loved playing all of these games.
Aye I actually owned that magazine back then, I used to get every issue of PSM when I was younger.
Why wouldn't a PS magazine try to claim they have the Zelda killer game lol? Comparisons like that were made all day every day back then. Well, it's still done wasn't Killzone called Sony's Halo killer and shit? Or was that just Haze? I forget, lol.
They had personality. It was always nice to look at the art by Adam Warren and read the often humorous final word about a relevant topic from the editor in chief and his crew.
. Especially so if you're platform agnostic and are now just revisiting/discovering amazing games that you missed from an earlier console generation .
Stop spamming my thread. I don't find your posts funny or entertaining and certainly not informative apart from making me realize how desperate you are to increase your worthless reaction score. It's not happening, not from me, not ever. I'm not interested in what someone who still lives with his mother and plays video games to overcome his porn addiction has to say. Now go back to Off-Topic and continue pestering Matt to repair your virtual relationship despite it being obvious he no longer wants to associate with you.
More like reporting a S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Jesus Christ!
That's the thing I don't play my games for "characterization, story or set pieces" these are the things people play all those cinematic wannabes for. If I was interested in set pieces Uncharted would be my favorite title, which spoiler: it isn't. If I do have to pick though Soul Reaver shits all over OoT in terms of both characterization and story. As far as the OG Zelda goes I played it while consulting the map which the game came with and bombed/burned the shit out of everything without any guides hence why I enjoyed it so much. It's funny you can see the problems in LoZ and LttP but think OoT has good characterization, story and set pieces. The characters in OoT are paper-thin including the protagonist and only act as expository devices while falling into all the predictable tropes. Even when they subvert them for a moment they still end up doing the trope like with Zelda. The best games IMO are the ones that don't have set pieces and let you make your own amazing sequences or go did I just do that of which there are plenty of Japanese action games for you to check out or even shooters like Max Payne 1/2.
I forgive him. He reminds me of myself back in the early 2000's with almost the same exact taste in games. I'll always love him for that.
Grow up.
