Twilight Princess is amazing

Not for me. I guess people are pretty divided on it. Some seem to love it, others (like me) seem to think it's just disappointing.

I didn't care too much for the dungeon designs-- then again, I haven't really liked how the dungeons have turned out in the 3D games-- they tend to get weaker as they go on too. I absolutely hate Nintendo's obsession with cramming retarded humor into their supposedly 'dark and epic' games, that pisses me off beyond all reason. Don't get me started on the Mailman from Twilight Princess, Tingle from Majora's Mask/Wind Waker, or those goddamn carpenters from Ocarina of Time... But especially the mailman. It sends me into a fucking rage. I'm serious, I hate it.

It also seemed like the maps in TP were just too big and empty, and most of the places lost their purpose after you went there the first time and did whatever it was you needed to do. The bosses were inconsistent at best; some were ridiculously frustrating, while others were total pushovers. The difficulty curve seemed to be replaced by a difficulty scribble.

All that said, I did really like some portions of the game. Most of the more serious characters look excellent, and the more dramatic cutscenes were great (when they weren't ruined by the aforementioned stupid "humor"). I absolutely loved the look of the Twilight creatures/enemies-- those giant Twilight birds with the messed up reversed funnel for a face still creep me the hell out. Great sound design for everything Twilight, too. (While I'm on the subject, I should probably mention that the Twilight dungeon was the one dungeon I really enjoyed) Midna was great, a really unique design and a rather cool character.

There were a couple really beautiful locations in the game as well, for example the meadow in the ruins of the temple of time. (<-- minor spoiler) I love that place.

Overall, though, I just don't like the game. It's a shame, because it had so much potential to be great-- maybe the Zelda game to get me to actually like 3D Zeldas. As it stands though, it's just patchy and annoying at best. That's just me, though.

...Rant over...

Just wanna say that I agree with you on Zelda 3, amazing game. And the last one I played.

to me zelda stopped being fun when it stopped being on the super nintendo
and even that game should signs of what was to come

Signs of what was to come? Hmm, how so? For me it was the definitive Zelda game (perhaps because it was the first one I played), I love everything about it. It didn't rely on annoying 'humor,' but balanced itself out with the look of the game, I think. The dungeon designs were brilliant, the best in the series in my opinion-- and the bosses... oh, the bosses.

Even after decimating the game countless times, doing everything there is to do (even the Death Mountain Descent, for those who know of the glitch), I still love going back and playing through it now and then.

It's strange, for me the first three Zeldas kept getting better (yes, I loved Zelda II), but after A Link To The Past I just couldn't get into it. I've beaten Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and finally Twilight Princess (after a huge stretch of 'ehh, I don't really wanna play this)... And I just don't have the urge to play any of them again. Thinking about it, it just seems like a chore. Actually, me and my brother refer to the modern Zelda games as "Nu-Zelda"

I must get myself a new gamepad and finish it some day.

The XBox 360 controller for Windows is quite good.

Remember to just buy a wired one, it will work out cheaper. If you buy a wireless one, you'll need the usb plug in so the pc can pick up the controller signal, and they usually go for around $40.

I believe a wired controller is $60 (AUD).

Yeah I got the wired one, for 35 euros. The cable is long enough anyway, and there's no messing with empty batteries, losing signal and all other kinds of crap

i dont know, its just when everyone was all going nuts over this third zelda game, i never really loved that game all that much
i mean its good, and i liked it back then, but never enough to go trough and complete it
and the other zelda's afterward which i played, all had the same impression, where everyone is awed, and i mostly find the games boring and annoying

Link is a totally uninteresting hero to me

Damn. A couple of weeks ago I bought FF12 and played it 23hours in dangerously little time and now I've got bored with it. Haven't played it in 5 days. Sarai? Huhuu? Do you still want to buy it?

Cool, thanks for the tips guys!

I'm addicted to Titan Quest, been since the summer. It's kinda like Diablo 2, but even better in my opinion.

I would play Bioshock and Crysis, if I only had a machine brave enough to even dare installing them

Other than that: Orange Box was steam'ed unto my harddrive the day it came out, absolutely loved it (though I need to play TF2 more, haven't really had the time for that in all my questing for titans). Tried the Hellgate: London demo, but it didn't make a lasting impression.

Blah. I haven't played Bioshock for about 2 months. My attention span is pure crap.

that game had the same effect on me, i' probably halfway trough it as well
