I LOVE the 3D version of A Link to the Past!

I wouldnt say Half Life is the best video game ever, its the best in the series. Its up there though.

... *ponders*...

I'll admit that some temples share similar themes (water, desert, forest) and items... And I believe they both contain the same number of them...

But dungeon structure? Nearly identical?

What I thought. Sure, it uses the 3+7 structure, but that's about it. It's not a 3D version of ALttP.
Maybe if you were referring to the story, but you weren't.

Argh, now I want to play it again. I have little to nothing to do in the next days, maybe I'll get myself lost in this game again (Master's Quest).

I've just entered the second dungeon, Dodongo's Cavern. The story/graphics are much better than I remembered, but the fighting is a bit clumsy. L-targetting doesn't work as good as in TWW/TP and there aren't enough sword moves.

Great game. I can't believe I've only played this 1.5 times (the 0.5 was a joint-venture with my brother).

You know....I hate to say it, but I don't think OoT is the greatest. It's a really good game, yes. I love it. But it is not the greatest.

I believe it's only deemed so amazing because of what I call the FF7 effect. The first game in a loved series on a new system.

I mean, face it. The OoT storyline is pretty basic of a Zelda game. It's what you'd expect. It's just that before the game was entirely different.

Its hard to call a game the greatest of all time, simply because console games in general don't stand the test of time, especially in the old convert to 3D ages.

However, I'll say for its time period, and how much it raised the bar at its time, its easily the greatest game of all time in my book. That game alone redefined how good I thought a 3D RPG/Adventure game could be. Wind Waker and Majora's Mask were good, but OoT introduced the award winning formula.

If we're talking greatest game series... My MGS fanboyism won't allow me to say its the best. :P

MGS says hi.

Angrist · 12-23-2008, 12:54 PM

I just went 7 years forward in time.

The first thing I did was get Epona.

Seth · 12-24-2008, 02:40 PM

I've never played a MGS game. Should I start with twin snakes for the GC? Also, since the topic has been discussed, is there a way for me to 'reformat' my macbook without the cd's that came with it? I bought it off a girl for 400 bucks but it's full of her crappy dog photos and other shite.
Also, my macbook speakers recently stopped working. When I use the up/down volume keys it displays a no can do circle, but if i plug in some headphones the volume can be adjusted no problem. I'm wondering if it's a setting or hardware failure.

uber_paddler · 12-24-2008, 07:25 PM

No. Just no. Twin Snakes was an abomination, and every copy should be purged from existence.
