And yes, it has anti-piracy protection just like M&L3 and NSMB Wii had.

actualy there is no patch,the game starts even now... the anti piracy protection simply prevent you from creating tracks which in turn means you are stuck as soon as you get the train,so basicaly it runs but it's unplayable

Where is that .gif of the uh, differently abled guy imitating pulling the train whistle on Spirit Tracks?  I think that sums up the game pretty well.
Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: magus on December 04, 2009, 08:39:12 AM
well i'm back after the first dungeon

- you can't wander in the overworld,i'm pretty sure this will piss off quite a lot of people
- alas you still can't leave the ds to do his things when traveling since you need to sound your train horn to scare away monster and cows,why you won't let me skip the boring parts nintendo? :/
- i like the cutscene directions
spoiler (click to show/hide)
wow i forgot the last time a game pulled a  "the chancellor is evil",the cutscene where zelda flipped out was funny
[close]
- there is an annoying stealth section before you even get to punch some monster,it's quite easy and short but really WTF nintendo?
- game progression so far has been

1 ) go into plot relevant tower
2 ) bother with the same "hide from phantoms like in phantom hourglass" crap for one room (thankfull it's only for one room and this time there is no time limit,you also don't repeat floors) get three orbs and then slash a phantom on his back
3 ) zelda take control of a phantom
4 ) co-operate with zelda to solve stuff (zelda goes trough floor that link can't traverse for example)
5 ) get new overworld map
6 ) find plot relevant character
7 ) plot relevant character unlock the next dungeon
8 ) go into dungeon,find the treasure,beat the boss
9 ) go back to 1

- quite a few things require you to blow in the mic,this is going to piss some people off
- surprisingly the first treasure was
spoiler (click to show/hide)
not the boomerang! ah! it was a whistle that let you make tornado by blowing in the mic
[close]
- first dungeon was surprisingly short,the game literaly handled the treasure like "fine! take it we don't care!"
- so far i'm liking it
Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: demi on December 04, 2009, 08:41:33 AM
so it's phantom hourglass 2. lol. no rush to play it then.
Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: magus on December 04, 2009, 09:02:47 AM
i don't think phantom hourglass was bad outside that idiotic temple and even tough this game still ask you to hide from phantom and get stuff while they aren't looking,it has at least the decency to do it once in a while,instead of "the entire freaking dungeon,several times" so i'm not sure i have a problem with that definition

oh also i forgot! zelda asked me to tap her  :teehee

Yeah, sounds shitty from the basic impressions, I hated Phantom Hourglass. Will still play through it since I beat every other Zelda (save the CDI ones).

well the game decided that my train needed a cannon to blast bad guys so i guess that's another phantom hourglass comparison for you guys...

some other stuff that might be spoiler worthy if you are really anal about your spoiler
spoiler (click to show/hide)
you get a pan flute early on,you learn new songs everytime you find a rocket shaped monument,so far i have a hint song,a healing song and a discovery song,you play the flute by tapping on a tube and then blowing on the mic

also i've started to unlock the first sidequests,niko has asked me to get print from various place which i guess works as an excuse for giving me a reason to backtrack and a guy in a bunny suit asked me to find bunnies in the world map,basicaly when you see a bunny hiding while riding on the train you blast his hiding place with the cannon and then play a minigame where you try to catch him by tapping on the touch screen

it's actualy a ice level but there is tons of fire involved! (oh and dumb sliding crate puzzle tough at least they aren't as bad as the one in alundra) in fact the boss is the master of icy fire,i wish i was joking on the last bit...
[close]

i also found a shop that sold an entire heart container for 2000 rupee's... i don't know if i feel happy to see that they finaly decided to give me something to buy or shocked considering all the time i had to scavenge hunt the piece in other zelda

the game told me about space jumping gate or something so i guess there is a way to make travel less boring? (well i guess less travel would be more correct)

i think i've done enough for the day...

My college friends all had N64s and Gamecubes - I was the odd one out with my PS1, PS2 and DC (I was a big SEGA fanboy who begrudgingly played Sony systems for the RPGs back in those days, and hated the N64, though thought GC was OK). I didn't know one person in real life who owned an Xbox 1, aside from one person who bought it in 2005 for some of the fighters.

The world map in this one is ehhh as well, but at least with this one:

- the world is more interesting to look at
- you have shit to do DURING the ride
- the overworld theme is AWESOME

Still boring and I wish they would scrap that idea altogether, but at least it's not like PH anymore.

The biggest and best thing to me about this game: music is infinitely better.

There's a patch out I think, but the first one that was created was made for the akaio firmwares on acekards that wasn't released to anyone else, I think.  Something like that.

Played up to the Snow dungeon. 

This game is....not too shabby.  It's Zelda.  I like the train better than sailing.  Neither is better than a freaking overworld.  Skipping cutscenes/conversations is a nice touch.  lol story and lol extensive exposition in zelda
Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 07, 2009, 12:50:30 PM
It really is actually quite good.  I got up to near the beginning of the water temple and accidentally shut off my DS without having saved in five hours, so I'm taking a frustration break for a day or two.  But regardless, game feels much more like a Zelda game than PH did.

And the Tower of the Gods, even though it has the same concept as the Ocean King temple, is actually really fucking good.
Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked

Seems like there'll be 4 discrete real zelda dungeons, 4 sections of the Tower, which are like slightly smaller dungeons that are all variations on a theme.  Not sure what else.

There's basically 8 or 9 dungeons if you are liberal with your definition of dungeons, 5 legitimate ones.

Mmmm...the first one was retardedly easy, but the Ice dungeon was actually quite clever.  Music is muuuuuch better for the dungeons as well.
Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 07, 2009, 02:40:10 PM
Right I agree.  The Tower of the Gods/Spirits is much much better.  It's basically a new dungeon each time you visit it–no floor revisitation required.  Each new section feels like its own brand new dungeon.

I must also stress: the music is so so so much better in this game.

Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: Don Flamenco on December 07, 2009, 02:47:18 PM
The tower dungeons are kinda lame though.   Yet another example where button control would have been fine, but instead, they add an extra 2 layers of distinguished mentally-challenged to it.  You "switch" to Zelda in the heavy armor, but you can't control her like you control link (1st layer) and more than that, you have to draw paths for her to walk.  The collision detection seems to suck, 'cause if you draw anywhere near a wall, she doesn't know how to resolve it and gets stuck. (2nd layer.)  

It's not horrible, but it's just cumbersome.  



I agree about the music...it is pretty great.  I'm surprised at how crisp it sounds!  DS usually has some crap sound.   
Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 07, 2009, 04:10:12 PM
Oh I disagree, I like the tower dungeons, and the touch screen controls.  I'll agree about wishing Zelda controlled the same as link though

Sure I can defend it.  It's much better than PH.  That's my opinion, even though the overworld is still awful.  The dungeons are designed well (at least after the first dungeon, anyway), and the game seems much more focused on character interaction.  That's not even mentioning the game's superb music and overall better aesthetic design.

Listen man, you were so hellbent on hating this in the first place, of course you're going to hate it.  Me, I went in open and am pleasantly surprised at its quality.  Infinitely more rewarding and enjoyable than PH and even better than Minish Cap.

Post by: cool breeze on December 09, 2009, 09:53:46 PM
I've only played for about an hour and a half, and so far I'm mostly worried about the gameplay elements they're introducing.  I really, really hope this stealth stuff isn't later in the game, and that one brief train sequence was boring (assuming you can speed it up via parts or w/e).  Too early to say anything about dungeons, difficulty or anything else.  Controls still seem less-than-ideal like Phantom Hourglass, and while they're adequate, I wish there was an option for traditional controls.

The one really weird thing is that this game is super animu.  Really super animu.  The expressions, humor and villains so far seem straight out of a Naruto filler episode.  It's more weird than anything else.  There are times when Zelda is close to uguu'ing.

Title: Re: Zelda Spirit Tracks leaked
Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 09, 2009, 10:44:15 PM
Not a whole lot of stealth in the game, no.  Only about 5 minutes each time you go back to the Tower, and it's done in such a way where you don't have to worry about a fucking time limit.  You can just run around and be quick around the un-stunned phantoms without having to plan you're every move.

The train is boring throughout most of the game, sadly.  It's still more interesting than the boat because there's actually shit to look at this time, and you do have a few missions to do involving passengers, freights, etc. with it, but it still feels like a fancy line connecting point A and B and nothing more.  How anyone can prefer this bullshit and in the same sentence shit on TP's and Wind Waker's overworld is fucking beyond me.  It's the most disappointing part of the game by far, and something that should never see the light of day in a Zelda ever again.

Dungeons and difficulty pick up considerably after the second trip to the Tower, right before the second dungeon.  I've never actually died (and honestly, who does any more in Zelda games) but the bosses have been fucking awesome, and the last two dungeons in terms of puzzles can be very clever.  The fire temple was nuts.

I am fine with the controls for the most part, but I'll still agree that it feels like a side-step rather than a step up.  I don't see how anyone can argue for traditional controls for these games, though, considering they build the entire game, controls AND environments, around the touch screen.  Considering that, it works fine.  There have been a few times where I equip an item at the absolute worst time, though, and it's caused me a bit of damage.

I'll agree with uguu~.  Kinda unsettling.  Thankfully the real men at Nintendo are working an teh matoor wii zelda :rock

Still sticking to it: fun game, much better than PH and I'd say a little better than Minish Cap.  Lower-tier Zelda game, but probably the best of the lower tier ones.

is there at least other shit to do on the train? like, do I get a cannon like in PH, or is it all just blowing the horn?

and the flute is kinda neat.  I usually hate blowing into my DS, but it does work surprisingly well in a gimmicky way.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 09, 2009, 10:59:11 PM
Oh yeah, you get a cannon, passenger missions, shipping missions, and you can warp after the second dungeon.  I'm not even past the fifth Tower portion yet, so there might be even more.  There's also these mini-games you can do during a ride where you can catch bunnies with a net.  *shrugs* something to do I guess.

The flute IS kind of cool, mostly because the music you learn with it is ace.  Gimmicky, yeah, but the entire game is, so whatever.

Dungeons so far were fun, but this train stuff is really awful.  I don't see what they were trying to accomplish here.  Just going from point to point takes minutes, and every minute or so you tap your screen when a baddie appears.  And then if an enemy train hits you, you have to repeat that entire 5 minute ride.  They need a turbo or something on it.  The speeds are slow, somehow even slower, stop, and slow reverse/handbrake.

Yes. I think, at this point, the game couldn't exist without that train. Also, when playing The Legend of Zelda, people tend to clear one dungeon and rush straight on to the next one, playing as though speed were the important thing. I'd like them to slow down a bit; don't rush straight through it. Take detours and side roads while you play.

ok, maybe he could make an argument it wasn't a 3D game on the DS.  Why would I take side routes? to see more squares and swimming textures? I don't even feel like doing the side missions because just traveling on the train makes me want to stop playing.

So far (3 dungeons and some side stuff done) it's hard to call this game too great.  The dungeons and puzzles are way, way better than Phantom Hourglass.  There are some problems with DS gimmicky shit like the wind weapon that you need to blow to activate.  But the train and just moving around the overworld is the worst thing ever in a Zelda game, and genuinely awful.  It's disgusting enough that it made it into a game, but a portable game? this is the opposite of what portable game design has been in forever.  Revisiting the same stupid dungeon in Phantom Hourglass it was at least easy to see what they were trying to go for by letting you move through it quicker with each new item.  Here, there are absolutely no redeeming qualities to the train.  And because the overworld is such garbage, the side-quests are too.  It's ride around and collect rabbits, drive carefully while transporting passenger, etc.  I'm really enjoying everything that isn't the train, and the flute.  The flute is awful too.  The orcarina usage is fine, but when they make you play to a beat, I just have so much trouble with it.

This game isn't even a fucking overworld.  It's just scenery you can't explore.  The overworlds for Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were great, it just took too long to traverse.

I thought Phantom Hourglass was one of the worst Zelda's I've played. Not bad, but not what I want from a Zelda game. If the game has good dungeons and exploration, though, I'm good.

I think I'm near the end of Spirit Tacks by now, and I'd say it is better than Phantom Hourglass, but still the second worst Zelda game.  The dungeons and puzzles are much better than Phantom Hourglass' and it's a shame that you won't spend most of your time doing that stuff.  The overworld in Spirit Tracks takes up more time than overworlds in any other zelda game.  It is by-far the worst thing ever in a Zelda game and one of the worst overworlds ever.  Phantom Hourglass let you move in every direction slowly.  Spirit Tracks has you moving even slower on fixed tracks and it isn't until near the end of the game when more convenient tracks pop up to make the travels a bit less suicidal. 

What's worse is that every side quest in the game deals with unlocking those extra tracks, and all are essentially "drive guy to place, watch for railway signs / transport items to place / catch rabbits as you ride around".  The majority of the game for me has been spent at my computer or watching TV as I occasionally glance at my DS and tap to kill a baddie as I wait another couple minutes to arrive at my destination.  The best is that there are warp points, right, but they're in placed in the worst locations.  Using any warp point still takes a couple minutes to go where you need to be. 

Other problems are the flute rhythm sections, which involves dragging around a flute on the bottom of the screen as you blow into the DS mic, and the the general tone of the game.  Where Phantom Hourglass was influenced by Pirates of the Caribbean, Spirit Tracks seems to be influenced by animu.  Part is FullMetal Alchemist in how the main dungeon you visit is about Link interacting with Zelda's spirit bound to an armored suit while the general tone is moe / uguu behavior from Zelda.  That stuff is mostly avoidable thought still weird.

But yeah, the dungeons and puzzles are way better than Phantom Hourglass.  If you ever had trouble dealing with the overworld in other Zelda games, this is about 1,000-times worse.  For me the dungeons and puzzles are good enough that they save it from being as bad as Phantom Hourglass.

Started this today. So far it's alright - controls are fine, graphics are bleh, especially animu facial expressions. The train sections I've done are really fucking boring, I'd much rather run over the overworld. We need another LA/OoA/OoS caliber Zelda handheld title.

Minish Cap's visual aesthetic is so much more charming than PH or ST''s lacklustre 3d, which is bland and vapid by comparison.

It's the prettiest Zelda game imo. Make another game in that style and I might be interested in playing it past the first 20 minutes.

When I saw the characters coming back in Climax Landers, it had me all :hyper and then I played it.   :'(

Yea, you're right. PH was the game that caused me not to day one Spirit Tracks for the first time since OoT (the first one I was old enough to day one). And when I got it it was as a gift, not my own money. What a catastrophe.

My fiance is not the most discerning of gamers and even she knew it was a turd. I don't think she finished it.

And the Ocean King Temple, for a real fan, was not the worst part of the game.

ST Is ass

No, it's not ass, it's leagues better than PH.  Dungeons were badass, as were the boss battles.  The overworld just happened to sour the experience.

The dungeons and boss battles are way better than PH, true, but the overworld is the worst thing ever in a Zelda game bar none.  Still better than Phantom Hourglass because it has some good that takes way too long to get to.
