Early 2000's

Let's discuss moments and events in video gaming where everyone was fucking wrong.

I sure do remember the criminally boring expanse of sea from wind waker.

Breath of the Wild is Zelda for the Minecraft generation.

That shit was fun as fuck, other than the triforce quest. I remember going fucking bonkers when discovering a new island.
Same goes with AllttP when discovering a new dungeon.

Is BOTW similar in that sense?

...

Journalists were giving Metroid prime 10s everywhere you complete fucking idiot. Literally no one except for Microsoft shills and antiFPS faggots hated it back then.

...

except windwaker is one of the worst main zelda games and only nintendo fanboys like prime

He was talking about before the game came out you complete fucking idiot

No, shrines are literally everywhere and there are no dungeons.

But there's enough interesting stuff in the landscape that the feeling of discovery occurs pretty often.

Yes that's the same fallacy they used for vr. Muh change for the sake of it as a way to defend their bullshit. The switch and botw are not good and never will be

by gamer grils and geeks with a nes mini and triforce tshirts, yes it was good for them

There should have fucking been a repair and upgrade system. It's literally all that game needed to make exploring every nook and cranny worth it.

Yeah, even if it was only for the champion weapons it would be a huge improvement.

No repair and costing a diamond to replace is as huge disincentive to use the weapons at all.

Your opinions aren't facts, retard.

How the fuck did something this simple go ignored with all the time put into everything else? It's infuriating.

Also

To this day I have no idea why people like Metroid Prime. It controls like shit, looks like shit, navigation is a pain in the ass because the levels are built like the old 2D metroids that you navigated in third person, except you're forced to explore these in first person, there's FUCKLOAD of backtracking to the same rooms (where, of course, monsters respawn).

It's just missing any fun whatsoever. And as if that wasn't enough they made another 2 games that suffer from the same problems.

...

All Metroids have a fuckload of backtracking

Yes, but it was never as annoying as in Prime.

Sunshine was fucking shit because of FLUDD alone. You don't even ever use the fun nozzles until far later and even then not at all.

Holy fuck, that pic made me remember that a cousin used to have that disc, we used to play it pretty often and eventually it got scratched. Afterwards learning how rare it is I felt like killing myself

Game journos were always trash. Water is wet.

...

...

Extension, as a crutch being an extension for legs.

I've always loved Wind Waker (OOT is still better). Halo is still shit though.

OoT is shit

You're shit.

Bullshit, I can personally testify to hover being nothing but a crutch for shitty platforming outside the secret stages where it's entirely gone and spray is just a fucking spray.

You just have shit taste.

Your mum is shit. She gives lousy head, too

both of those games suck, all nintendo games suck

Don't kid yourself user. Especially considering console wise, the game cube had prettier graphics.

Gamecube might've been the most powerful console, that doesn't change the fact that the game looked bland and ugly.

Your mum sucks

Your mum looks bland and ugly

gotem

I dont even like Metroid Prime and I think its pretty. What game from that era do you consider looked better?

You cant say Wind Waker since Stylized games will always look timeless

...

I was about to say Jet Set Radio Future, but shit like MGS2/3 looked much better.

...

That's not very nice, user. Enjoy your Phony Gaystation Poo.

I am not sure if MGS3 does look better (or runs at better frame rate) then Prime (it is very difficult for a Ps2 game to look better then a gamecube game due to the drastic polycount difference). Plus I think they may be better looking PS2 games such as DOA2 on the Ps2.

And now Reggie can never play that card again.

Well of course shit like DoA is gonna look better, but it's very limited in what you can see.
MGS2 and 3 are more similar to Prime, so the comparison is more fair.

Metroid Prime 2.

Dues ex Human revolution
The Wiiu (everyone thought it would sell well)

that just looks fucking ugly
It looks like HL2 in fullbright

The spray is a modification to the slide

I don't think anyone other than Nintendo had high hopes for the Wii U. It actually ended up being a much better console than I expected, and it's still probably Nintendo's worst console ever.

Didn't PC gaming die several times?

There's a fucker in Zora town who trades you 10 luminous ore for a diamond, even though if you're mining you should be rolling in diamonds.

Its Literally the Game Cube 2.0

No, I am serious, it literally is Gamecube 2.0. A lot of good games on a console which died early, with its Respective Zelda game thrown across 2 consoles

Even the Gamecube had a big library compared to Wii U.

Some of the shrines are interesting to unlock

Like that one where you need to roll a snowball down a hill criss-crossed in snowbanks to get one big and fast enough to break down the doors

It essentially makes great weapons worth about as much as the skeleton grabass arms you pick up as a joke.

Without a way to keep your favorites using a repair or upgrade thing, weapons end up being not as fun to get and find. Seriously, that's all it would take. If I designed it i'd even let you repair your weapons when they break, or even allow enchantments that boomerang your weapons back to you after you throw them or shit like that.

The lightscale trident should have been a shitload stronger than just 22.

Hell after a time, Lynels drop better weapons than any champion's gear

20 Damage is pretty high for a Spear. I think 30 is the highest damage for a Spear?

What about the Virtual Boy?

We all know that doesn't count. I think it was officially a handheld, too.

I got an electric spear that was 32 once

Also, Doruk's club is like 66 or something but I've found Lynel clubs that were 100+

Does this look like a fucking handheld to you?

I mean, in theory.

...

The theory was horribly wrong

Doruks Club is 60, Alongside the Master Sword. I am pretty sure the highest Damage output you can do with a weapon is 60, with the Master Sword doing the Highest Damage Output in terms of attack speed + overall damage per hit.

I'm not debating that.

I've never seen it used like that skillfully.

I guarantee not being able to repair is going to hurt sales and it would have been absolutely fucking nothing to include that mechanic.

You know what would have made me buy the switch?
If the base dock was actually a console capable of 1080P
If the tablet had a replacable battery


They should have also included an expansion slot for a side console so wii/wiiu users with all of their hardware and games might be more inclined to adopt. Hell the wiiu controller would work with most of the switch games.

I get that they probably wanted people to experiment with all kinds of weapons instead of getting too attached to just one, but there could have been some kind of weapon upgrade and repair system that opens up in the later game.

...

visually yes, design wise? Game play? It's garbage.
lol no.


yes, nothing like not pressing anything for minutes at a time. Wind Waker is one of the worst 3D Zelda games.

Other M > Prime

I'm sorry that the truth hurts.

That doesn't even deserve to be called bait. You just lazily stuck your hand into the water and hoped a fish would swim into it.

No, it was terrible bait

It's not bait. Prime is shit. Take away the story and Other M is just like every other metroid. I'm sorry that female emotions offend you friend.

2/10 I replied

Now you've just set up a frying pan next to the lake, in the hopes that something will jump into it.

...

Were you in a coma the last three years?

...

No, I was avoiding shitty pairings

Samus X Snake OTP

Snake don't need no tomboys

...

But all of the girls the Snakes fall for are tomboys.

Falcon is in love with his technique.


Snake is in love with his compatriots.

BotW has great moments. The shrines are pretty uninteresting (except the hidden ones that you have to find) but you pretty often talk with an NPC that will tell you shit like "I saw something strange north" or "I come from this village south-west" and when you follow the direction (aka relying on actual directions and not the dotted line) you actually discover something.
It's very exciting and I recommend switching the options to pro mode so you don't have all the annoying non contextual prompt and mini map displayed at all times.

They're all shitty pairings, but Samus/Mac is the current accepted choice.
Samus and Ridley is the only OTP

Fuck you kid, go play Gaylo on you Niggerbox.

...

There is no obstacle a good dicking cannot conquer.

Looks like you never played with a friend/family member. Having someone play tingle radar on the GBA and finding hidden maps and treasures was fucking awesome.

Pro Mode as in the Controller? Dang, I only have the gamepad, thanks for telling me though! I'll play it now!

Nothing a good hatefuck can't solve

xbox was better than the gamecube

was federation force a good game?
Like imagine it wasn't metroid or whatever, would I enjoy it?

It would be a mediocre fps on a touchscreen

I'm liking this possible direction.

They were right, TWW is utter shit and Game Journos only gave it a high score because "muh Zelda", "muh it's edgy to like a hated game".
I'm a Zeldafag myself and can filter the bias, can you, faggot OP?

Good thing there isn't anymore Metroid. Maybe we can start giving F-Zero a chance.

this exact thing along with my first reaction to the DS is why i gave the WiiU a chance: "I was wrong twice before about Nintendo, maybe I'm wrong this time"

I'm not buying a switch because I gave the WiiU a chance

No, pro mode removes the minimap and most of the other HUD. It's more immersive and it feels more rewarding when you discover things without the map and sneak up on enemies without the sound sensor.

Wait until it has more games.

There's no way Odyssey is going to be fucked up and I'll gladly tempt fate saying that. The game looks too good and is officially confirmed to be SM64 style.

To be honest, the best parts of Other M were after Adam died and you were on your own; had they focused on making the whole game like that it would have been really good, but Sakamoto had the stupid idea of wanting to make the whole game some kind of MGS clone.

Its still the worst Zelda game you fucking faggot

Is this supposed to make their porn so fucking hot?

You might have an argument if Skyward Sword didn't exist. And I'm not even talking about the botched motion controls, annoying partner, and retarded "story". At least we can pretend Wind Waker would have been good if they finished it and made any dungeons that weren't baby tier shit (and from the difficulty progression of the existing ones that seems to be the case).

Wasn't necessarily wrong, but definitely the opposite of what people expected

Without a doubt it killed the Resident Evil franchise and possibly ruined the modern era of computer games. It hurts so good.

As much as everyone hated RE4, it really didn't deserve all the hate it received. The only thing that was wrong with it, was that it was significantly easier than previous installments. Herbs were everywhere and ammo was relatively easy to come by. Sure the first encounter with the villagers sent people to the bathroom back in '05, but it wasn't something that you fucking DREADED doing, since the game was absolutely revolutionary at its time. Too bad it didn't offer more content at the time.

Don't get me wrong, I recognize it as a good game, it's just that I believe the effects it had on the industry weren't worth its release. I also agree that RE4 wasn't as scary as previous installments mainly because horror has to be hard in order to be scary imo. If you can zip around obstacles with little to no difficulty it fails to convey that same form of terror. Gotta disagree on the content side though, considering that it was originally developed for the GC it shipped with two discs in order to hold all the shit they made I don't blame them for stopping at that point. Besides, the Mercenaries mode is a ton of fun and I find myself replaying levels from time to time.

The Xbox and GameCube are pretty much equals, though both lose when compared to the Dreamcast. But, all three still beat the PS2 easily (The system has nothing aside from it "huge" library where every good game is available, with better shtuff, on another console).

It's such a shame about the Dreamcast too. I would've loved to see it have a healthy lifespan just so I could pirate everything with relative ease.
