It kills me to hate on Zelda because it's one of my all time favorite series, but I don't get why the internet pees their pants over it so much anymore. Twilight Princess had some rough edges and supposedly Skyward Sword was even worse. Now they show a video where you can mark waypoints, auto-drive a horse, and slow-mo aim and everyone is in awe. I've been doing all those things for years in other games.

They also actively admit that the world is extremely oversized, where Link had to ride Epona through huge grass fields of nothingness for at least 4-5 minutes. They were even talking about a bunch of other shit and not even playing while nothing at all happened on the screen besides Epona running through a field. Any other game from any other developer and that trailer is getting shit all over.

The last Nintendo game I really got into was Link to the Past. I know everybody loved Ocarina, but that was the first one (that I played) that started taking the game away from combat. I don't want to spend an hour at the beginning of a Zelda game running around and doing stupid shit before I can start killing monsters, then have a bunch of my time dedicated to travel and dialogue. That's not what the series started as, and it's not what I want from a Zelda game. I just want to kill shit, and the Zelda games just don't feel like they're about that any more.

I've never played or been interested in KQ, but the adventure game genre has really kicked back off recently with the Telltale games and stuff like Deponia, so it's a good time to revive this.

It's not innovation to copy something other franchises have been doing for years, so both statements are true.

What in Ocarina of Time (the example you used) is copied from other franchises? I want to understand how Zelda can be accused of being stagnant while also deviating too much from its origins. I'm not saying either point is wrong.

Btw, you should give ALBW a try. Addresses all of your complaints.

Honestly I wasn't gaming much when OoT came out so I can't make any statements about which other games available at the time it could have borrowed from. I almost made a comment about how OoT probably was more innovative than what they're doing nowadays, but I simply can't back that argument up (or the reverse) without doing quite a bit of research on the games out in the same time period.

The first two games were very combat-centric. A Link to the Past did introduce a lot more puzzles. I actually wasn't a huge fan of it, but the balance wasn't too bad. OoT just felt like it swung too far away from the combat-centrism for me. I've tried Windwaker and Twilight Princess and they turned me off pretty immediately for the same reason.

I don't have any Nintendo systems now so I can't play ALBW. I intensely dislike how low-quality the 3DS is, anyway. A maximum rendering resolution of 400×240 is just archaic and ugly at this point. I'd love to see them release a decent-quality version of the system with resolution even just doubled and automatically rendered at that point. It would make such a huge difference.

Edit: Just for reference the PSP's rendering resolution was 480 x 272. The PSP came out 6 years before the 3DS.

Therm was saying that OoT was when the Zelda franchise began moving away from action and more into adventure. I don't recall him saying that OoT specifically stole from other franchises.

 
Isn't Matt our resident Hunter? Matt how big does a turkey need to look in order to be a big turkey? We have a park behind the neighbors houses across the street and big ass turkeys wander into our yards from time to time. They look big and mean. They are about 4 feet tall or so and are pretty plump looking.
 
I do have to say that the Golds have, in addition to the lack of BT, another shitty aspect; it requires 2 USB ports. One for the wireless adapter and the other for charging the Golds. If you've got a slim, that's it--you're all out of ports. Makes things a bit annoying when considering that the DS3 also needs a charging port unless you're using some other device or hub to manage that.

Apparently some people don't fucking understand this no matter how hard the rest of us try. I'm going to suggest that as a thread, we start ignoring Guardian, Breakfuss, and Therm as well until they get the God damn hint.

Matt has a hunter. But I think he mostly uses his warlock and titan.
 
Crap, I have to go to the AT&T store to get my new phone activated because they couldn't do it over the phone. The store is in the mall. People have been "protesting" and "demonstrating" at this mall for the past few days, so this should be a fucking nightmare.

I always charge my Pulse Elites by using a DS3 charge cord plugged into an adapter in a regular outlet. That way I always have the wireless adapter and other DS3 charger cord with 2nd DS3 plugged into the PS3 front. Just plug them in every night when I go to bed, and it's good to go in the morning. That way the only time I have to unplug something is for Disney Infinity/Skylanders time, which I need two co trollers for anyway.

The Golds use microUSB. DS3 uses miniUSB. From your statement I'm guessing the Pulse Elites use mini and so are also compatible with the DS3 cable.

Well, that shit was funny. Weird, but funny. A joke is a joke. Shouldn't matter who posts it. Stop holding grudges nub.

I understand what he's saying and its a valid complaint. Just funny because people also accuse the series of not "innovating". So maybe we're talking different aspects of the game, I don't know.

Did the legend playthrough in Into the Nexus last night. Last boss was a little annoying, other than that it was surprisingly easy.

Picked up the PS4 this morning, getting some games installed. I'll probably do my good playthrough of Second Son then jump back to Into the Nexus with a little MLB 14 mixed in. Good times ahead.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ocarina of Time was the first to use Z-Targeting, which led to auto-target in games.

My response to you was more in regards to how you questioned how a series could change but people complain about lack of innovation. Innovation isn't change. Innovation is new. A series of games can change with every iteration, but if the change is stuff that's been done elsewhere then it's not innovating to do so.

Ah that would explain why I know nothing about it then.

edit: Officially done decorating our christmas tree! I wish I had some video game related ornaments to put on it. That'd be awesome…..maybe I should make some….hmmm

Resident hunter, lmao. Stotch already stole any thunder I could have generated and I likely would have came up with the same response. I've been hunting a couple of times over the course of 25 years or so. My advice...shoot that motherfucker!! But not if its gonna get you in trouble. Idk how different it is around here compared to where you're at, but shit gets shot here all the time, no one thinks twice about it.

 
MGS V: The Phantom Pain's release date might be June 22, 2015--Kojima was wearing a shirt during the show last night with Swedish text that a Reddit user translated into "the 22nd" and "the 6th": http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=16925

Obviously this is just a rumor, but If it's true, that would give me about 3 weeks to play the heck out of Arkham Knight. :joystick:
