I picked this up yesterday and all I can say is wow! Gamecube may not have as many high quality games as the other platforms, but when a game is great on GC it is a whole 'nother caliber of greatness (re: Metroid).
I'll have more to tell as I play more, but right now I've got to get back to it...only a few more days of spring break left and a lot of Zelda to play!
-
Lucky, our resident CG owner, Tage, refuses to buy it 'cause "Link looks stupid" >:( And to top that off EUOL refudese to play metroid 'cause it "dosen't play like a real FPS" Honestly somepeople souldn't be alowed to own console systems. :-/
-
:-/ hmmm,
Read reviews of link, some made it out to be "totally new\different"...
I don't own a GC (ps2 and box here)
I have thought about getting a GC for resident evil.
Anyone else play the "new" Zelda game?
(I still LOVE the 8 bit version!, everyonce in a while)
I am new to the forum, and hope that I ain't overstepping any bounds here...
-
I am new to the forum, and hope that I ain't overstepping any bounds here...
heh. Pleasington said nearly the same thing when he first arrived, ivy.
There are no limits like that. Just don't mention hard work. We have a name to uphold here.
-
Do we even have bounds that can be overstepped? I'd better make some up:
2. No one is allowed to spell "definitely" correctly. We prefer "defiantly," in honor of the Sanderson boys.
3. No one is allowed to recommend a game or political viewpoint unless they are prepared to mindlessly attack anyone who disagrees.
4. No one is allowed to call Tage by his proper name. Please use "Love Monkey."
5. No swimming until half an hour after eating.
1. Always start with rule #2.
There, that should be plenty. Alright now, let's keep it under control and follow the rules.
-
Look, all I know is that Wind Waker defiantly looks retarded. Not just dumb, retarded.
I may end up getting it anyway, though. Just because I'm hypocritical like that.
Shoot, I never did finish Ocarina.
-
Such a hypocritical Love Monkey.
-
Ok, I'm a tad bit confused here. I defiantly see how those rules would apply here. The part that gets me screwed up is how #1 is...in a sense #6. Maybe #1 should be "Refer to number 6." I bet that'd make the rules a bit more enumurated. Heh, I like that word. Enumurated.
I wish I had a GC. Maybe thats why I'm looking harder now to find a job...I swear for some reason someone out there has made my name a sin on the job market. So ya, I'm going to go and enumurate or something.
-
There is no #6. Stop talking crazy.
-
Then where's #1? It certainly isn't in good judgement to make it last now is it?! Bah-ju-ki!
-
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TANGENT!
Regardless of who is responsible, I blame Love Monkey.
Yes, everyone (including me) though Zelda looked retarded. Then you play it and you see the genius of a cell shaded world...utterly immersive and expressive.
*gush gush gush*
Did I really say such a thing upon joining? How does anyone remember that?
Regardless, welcome Ivy!
-
Yep. Im sure you did. Cannot remember in what topic though. I think there is an option to see all of a persons posts somewhere in the profile section.
And i remember because i have the wierdest memory known to mortal man. I can remember the controls for Homeworld. I cannot remember what i had for breakfast yesterday. I can barely remember what happened in a books storyline after i just finished it, but i can remember entire webpages by heart several months after i looked at them.
-
Okay - on a somewhat related note:
I have a history class (a big one - about 100 students) and there is a goofy kid who sits on the front row and plays the old scholl Zelda on his laptop all class long. And not just one time, but every single class period. And then he raises his hand and makes totally unrelated comments because he hasn't been paying attention all hour. And he wears the same Dr. Suess shirt almost every day.
You know, myabe I shouldn't criticize - i bet that a lot of people that visit this site think he's really cool.
-
well everything but the wearing the same shirt everyday. Good hygine isn't a waste of time.
-
Nope, not very cool. That guy is wasting his tuition money. Old school Zelda is cool though.
What, Mustard, do you think that the people in the forum are the people you fear playing Heroclix against in the mall?
C'mon, man. I'm a closet geek. :)
-
Mustard secretly fears that everyone plays games in the mall, socially speaking. Every time we visit my parents, he checks their closet for Transformers t-shirts.
-
C'mon, man. I'm a closet geek.
And im a closet Gun fanatic.
I love saying that. It freaks people out (here in britain) no end.
-
I've never seen a closet gun. I take it it's some short of short range spread gun that packs a wallop?
;D
You brits and your weaponry, sheesh!
-
But if you want to know how cool I am, I have my orignal NES with Zelda I&II ;D
-
Yeah, that...relates.
-
If you read mustards last post it does :-/
-
Ah, Zelda. You know, I don't think I've ever met anyone named Zelda.
-
Interestingly, I have an great-aunt named Zelda.
It was a little weird talking about her as a child.
-
Did you ever rescue her from anything? During class at school?
-
I once met a woman named Zelda. She was a overseer type person at a holiday camp. About 30ish. Kind of person that you have to squint at just to spot - so bland and boring your mind assumes shes a lampost or something and ignores her.
-
For such an unassuming person, she seems to have made her mark on you, Entropy!
Zelda just keeps getting better. This one is actually connected to Ocarina of Time and some very, very cool stuff is happening. I just got the Master Sword...time to go face Ganon for the first time :)
-
Intresting enough When nintendo made Zelda they were looking for a female name that sounded heroic and would maybe been used in a legend. They took the name from F.Scott Fitzgealds wife.
Another intresting note. Nintendo's allready got plans for the next Zelda game and they're thinking of doing "a very realistic, dark game." So maybe something along the lines of those awsome screen shots from 2 years ago everyone thought was the Wind Waker
-
The only reason to even get a GC is for Zelda right?! i mean omg is that some sexy graphics... there hasnt been a game so pro since... warcraft 2? its all about the feel!
as for metroid.. i dont know... maybe..
-
thats right the graphics are friggen awesome and stuff and the other games are amazing as well
-
I think the new Zelda looks like crap. I can't get myself to buy it because the style looks so freaky.
Now Metroid Prime, that was a beautiful game--in every sense. I also highly recommend Ikaruga, because it's the kind of game you think you've seen before, but when you play it, you realize it's more than you imagined.
-
man have you seen zelda in action, its like a million times better than the screens. you have to see it to understand how beaytiful it is. if i would have to chose one game on the gamecube to play for the rest of my life it would probably be zelda
-
While Zelda is a good game, I'll admit I got bored playing it after a while. It's fun at first, but the constant fetching and travelling back and forth get old after a while. The dungeon play is where it really shines and there was a large span of gameplay where there were no dungeons to enter at all. A very good game, but not as good as I hoped. And it still doesn't touch the original nor A Link to the Past.
Now Metroid Prime, there's a game I'd happily play for the rest of my life.
-
In my defense, I have played the new Zelda, and I still think the graphical style is painful. That's just my opinion, though.
