He kept pimping her by saying those kinds of things after every photo. I wasn't sure whether he was serious or trolling some poor girl's myspace.

He's probably one of those guys who gets off to the idea of strangers ravaging his plump GF while he watches.

Wow that is harsh

Still not as bad as what I said (but I was only like 13!). My mom asked if she could take a movie back. She had gotten widescreen when she wanted fullscreen. I was frustrated by this point. She had already opened the movie and I had this conversation with her ever since she first got a dvd player. So I told her "They might. Or they might just look at your like you're stupid because it says "Widescreen" right on the box." She started to cry and left. Man.

omg, I was explaining facebook and google advertising to my mom today and after an hour of (what I thought to be) easy to understand, slow advice she got mad and was like "remember when I taught you how to brush your teeth? I showed you how and we brushed together, and I took my time and explained everything. Well that's what you have to do for me now!"

A few minutes later I came back and she had like 10 firefox windows open, after I had spent a year advising her about tabs $:-\$

It's weird because I work with a ton on (non-computer) engineers who most are fairly tech savy, at least with using a program even if they don't know what's going on under the hood, but anyone 55+ is as big a luddite as anyone's grandma on this forum, but still know more technically about mechanical equipment than I'll ever hope to forget, so I'm mystified why printing to a pdf is a strange and scary to them.

I do expect at some point I'll fall behind, but can't imagine why I'd ever just give up at some point.

Disagree with Oblivion, obviously.

But yeah that thread was just asking for trouble. Allowed all the dudebros who hate Zelda to jump in and feign disgust at the franchise for "not changing" (meaning not becoming a FPS with bald space marines where Epona is a hovercycle and and the Master Sword is a lightsaber.)

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #6514 on:** August 20, 2011, 11:48:05 PM »

You can't read. No one in the thread asked for that. We were just hoping that, since this is the first zelda of this generation for a dedicated system, it would have grown past the fact it's based on the model of a game made in 1998 when 3d sucked for games of that type. But since then, multiple games have came and went with much better core gameplay (combat for instance) than 3d zelda. Instead, we're stuck with the same lock on shit from 1998, that looks like the same fucking thing but with a new art style.

We expect better.

Kinda like how Mario Galaxy took Mario's core fundementals and made it feel fresh again. I could watch any Mario Galaxy video before I actually played and got excited because it looked FRESH but it was STILL MARIO.

I look at Skyward Sword and I fucking yawn out of my butthole. It looks BORING.

Ninja Gaiden - has lock on but rarely used, full featured combat, players can aim and everything without much help from the game. To make matters even more hilarious, Ninja Gaiden 1 is pretty much set up like a Metroid. It's one big hub world where you gain access to new areas via new items and sometimes abilities. It even has its own "dungeons" (see: the cathedral base).

[youtube=560,345]SiKvJFnRXug[/youtube]

Assassin's Creed - Look familiar? AC has more evolved combat and controls than your modern Zelda.

[youtube=560,345]gwaUIShOM54[/youtube]

God of War - Look at how smooth this game plays. I'm not the biggest fan of God of War but even it is more evolved than 3d Zelda.

[youtube=560,345]WR5DXsi772U[/youtube]

Even Enslaved looks better than Skyward Sword! And it's by Ninja Theory!

Zelda is dated, oldhat, BORING. It has nothing to do with the fact that you solve puzzles and go through dungeons. We expect that with Zelda. But we don't expect is doing it in such a similar fashion for 13 years running, especially when other games often in the same genre, have evolved past what Zelda offers in its core fundamentals. Everyone else has taken what OoT originally did and enhanced it. Modern Zelda takes what OoT did and does a slight tweak but with waggle on top. Waggle sucks.

Tasty · « **Reply #6517 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:39:12 AM »

At their heart, Mario is an action game and Zelda is a puzzle game. Comparing footage is meaningless since the fun in Zelda comes in solving puzzles for yourself, watching someone else play sudoku is boring as hell.

Skyward Sword is fresh in exactly the ways it needs to be and none of the ways that would derail the series, from what I have seen.

Edit- Wow that is the dumbest post I have ever seen.

Great "examples" of games Zelda should be like.

Don't blame the rest of us for wanting a game that's not stuck in the 90's. Look at that Stalfos fight and tell me it doesn't belong to the 90's. Because it does.

i love how the people defending it say that it equates to depth. Yay! Watch enemy, are his swords horizontal?! HIT HIM VERTICAL! Are his swords vertical? HIT HEM HORIZONTAL!

Yay, depth!

I don't expect fucking Ninja Gaiden in my Zelda but I do expect something far better than that. If this is an issue of Nintendo not releasing much footage, that's their fault when the game is 3 months shy of release and not one piece of footage looks exciting, inspired or even remotely memorable.

magus · « **Reply #6534 on:** August 21, 2011, 01:35:49 PM »

i do not care much about zelda but i couldn't imagine it being a better game if it played like ninja gaiden or darksiders,nothing wrong if it plays like wii sports resort kendo mode,as andrex says i too think that zelda is more of a puzzle game,it's true that the first games were more actioney,but as time passed the game has shifted to more puzzley stuff (i'd say link's awakening is the point were it breaks)

the real problem of zelda is that it's always the same stuff,light all the torch to make the treasure chest appear,hit all the switches with the boomerang,bomb the cracked wall,hear the "DUDUDU" like you didn't expect the cracked wall to have something behind,oh no the boss has a big glowing point in it's tail! i wonder what i have to do!

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #6535 on:** August 21, 2011, 02:20:14 PM »

The entire thing screams outdated not just combat. Those games need to be few visioned from the ground up. Also the point in bringing up ninja Gaiden isn't "this is how Zelda should be" but rather "look at all of the alternatives games inspired by 3d Zelda have branched out into and look at where Zelda is. It looks pathetic"

Adding actiony, more complex battles can be a hindrance to these types of games. Many times, most of the enemies act like simple obstacles because they are simple obstacles and that is all that is needed from them. The greater obstacles are bosses and puzzles. Prime 2 made the combat a little too long and I think it threw off the pacing. The knight fights in Wind Waker were fun and a sort of step between boss fight and ordinary dumb foe, but I think these games work well with dumb foes. It's part of the whole feel of these sorts of games. You really aren't a total badass warrior in Zelda or a game like Ico. You're a boy with a sword.
