Nintendo Gaming / RE:Is the Wii remote really so unreliable in Zelda: TLP?

« on: December 10, 2006, 10:55:12 AM »

In case you don't know, if your locked on to an enemy link attacks when he unsheads, as oppose to when he's not locked on and he just takes it out and you have to swing again.

The spin attack can be a bit wonky at times but using the Wiimote to swing works effortlessly, al you need to do is wiggle it and he takes it out.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:So I finally got to try out the Wii

« on: December 04, 2006, 01:00:35 PM »

Well Ian, I must say your first Wii experiance was exactly like mine.  I hated exite truck when I first played it and knew it I would never buy that game no matter how many features it had, but I still gave the Wii a chance since I was impressed on how well the pionter worked.  When I got one, well, that was a different story.

As of now, it can't be too much of a threat because if someone decides to buy a wii now they won't be able to find one. by the time they get enought to satsfy the new demand... ah who am I kidding, they need to find a way to attatch the Wii mote to both a nunchuck and the demo unit because it seems all non racing games seem to use it.

Too many Wii games use it if you ask me.

Can't EA make a Wii exclusive where the characters arn't turned into some kind of big headed anime character?  I was upset when they did it for the Sims and I hope they could just take nintendo a little more seriously.

just because they're sold out doasn't mean that 100% of Wii owners will get one.  The Wii's main focus is older poeple and others that don't care about looks, they arn't going to care about progressive scan or not.

Anyway, I'm extrememly happy to hear that TP has awesome minigames.  Bombchu-bowling <3 <3 <3

ALSO, for the peopel that dock the graphics: this IS a GameCube game.  But not only that, it's an open-ended SINGLE-DISC gamecube game.  The only other game that looks better is Resident Evil 4, but that takes up two discs.  That means they have more room to put data on the disc, which could account for the high quality textures and whatnot.  And seeing as how TP is many times larger than RE4 and features a complete, seamless world, I'd say it's the most technologically impressive GameCube game ever.

That and RE4 had voice acting which takes up a lot of space.  In fact, all the 2 disk gamecube games are 2 disks because they veature a lot of spoken dialough (metal gear solid, Baiten kaitos, tales of symphonia) or because they're just badly ported (Ninja turtles, goldeneye RA, splinter cell CT).

Plus, I'm glad TP is still on the GC.  I just convinced one of my firends of how cool it is and he's so excited that he's getting it for his gamecube (because he doasn't have a Wii and isn't getting one for a while).  If they didn't have it for GC than he wouldn't be able to experiance the awsomness that is twilight princess.

yah but that boss fight was, like, it everything else was simple.

and as for the time thing, th ocerana jumped you right into thenext half of the day.  It didn't help if you were waiting for something that happens during the same day half.  like if it was 6 o'clock and you were waiting for something that happened 5 hours later.

It's the same reason why Majora's Mask got lower scores then Ocarina of Time. Even though Majora's Mask was a much better game, since everyone had already played Ocarina of Time they had something to compare it to and so critics were alot more harsh on Majora's Mask.

I'd have to disagree, the whole 3 day system just lead to a horrable save system and the annoyance of having to wait for a long time if something happened when you wanted to be apart of a sidequest that took place late in the day.  Plus the bosses wern't as creative or as fun to fight as OOT.

« on: November 14, 2006, 02:08:25 PM »

well,  gamerankings doas'nt mark down fan revews.  One of the main reason I want TP to score high is so it can rise above Oot, which has been dominating it's #1 spot.

Quote
Regarding graphics can we all agree that since this is pretty much a Cube game that at the very least it should look as good as Resident Evil 4? What I'm hearing is that it isn't that good and ideally it should be the best looking Cube game there is considering how much later after RE4 it is being released.

I was unimpressed with Super Mario Sunshine largely for one reason: SSBM looked better. So did Rogue Leader. Super Mario Sunshine didn't look as good as Cube launch games. It should have. There really is no excuse. With Twilight Princess it should be the same thing. Does it look like something that pushes the Gamecube hardware to the limit?

I'm 100% shure that TP pushes the gamecube just as much as RE4 did.  It's just that Zelda takes place mostly in wide open places while RE4's enviroments take place in relitivly small areas letting them put more pixles or whatever into smaller areas.  Therefore Zelda has it's Graphics spread across wider areas while RE4 's power lies in smaller areas letting it use more power on perticular objects.

I hope I made myself clear because I'm not so shure.

And about Super Mario Sunshine and SSBM, they both have different art styles.  While SSBM replicates the stiching in mario's overalls, SMS goes for a cartoony and(dare I say it) kiddie look.  I'm sorry if you can't make out all the hairs in mario's mustach.

Even with his minor nitpicks the game sounds absolutely stunning (he actually has passion incorporated into the review!).  I especially can't wait to experience the story, especially after reading this quote.

Still, the amount of twists and surprises keep it fresh, and the story is not clichéd and has some of the best pay offs in gaming history.

I really shouldn't have read this review, I am getting all giddy.

That revew really pisses me off for some reason.  Nearly every revew I read on it that doasn't give it a perfect score is so nitpicky that it's reduculus!  The only bad thing he says about it is that the camra is imperfect at times (name a game that isn't), the graphics arn't up to PS3 or 360 standerds (we get it, the Wii isn't a PS3!!! why penilize it for something that doasn't effect the gameplay?)  and something about the music isn't "all live-recorded, orchestrated music" you're penilizing it for that?

So yah, this guy is so nitpicky it hurts.  I don't see how he cold give anything a perfect score, it seems like he's one of thoes people that you just can't fully please.

Well he gave it a perfect score so it's fine for me.  It's not like he penalized it for something that can be fixed later in the game.

Quote
Hm, I'm hoping he's ommiting a bunch of information, because one thing I was really hoping for in this next Zelda was the inclusion of many more unique items. So far it sounds like another Ocarina of Time, which got just about everything from A Link to The Past.

Well, it was stated that all the items will have new functions, maby he didn't reveal anything new because he didn't want to spoil anything.

OMG you said zelda had 9 dongens! SPOLER.

Anyway, I think the reason Nintnedo is giving japan all these extra things like more virtual console games and being the first ones to use the online service is because America is getting the Wii and Zelda before they do.

Imagin this all you halo fans, how would you feel if microsoft brought Halo 3 to Europe 2 weeks before it comes to america?  Bunji is an american company so you'd be mad that it's coming out in a country different from the one it was made in.  Wll probably Japan feels the same way about twilight princess and Wii so to counter that Nintendo says: Hey look, sorry about that but we'll give you stuff that American's won't get, like more virtual console games and you all will be able to play on online Wii game before they do.

It's sort of to cool the flame that has probably lit itself in Japan.

Well, if you don't like Excite truck there will always be Monster 4x4 and that GT pro seres from Ubisoft right?

That track you played on looks pritty plain.  I bet it would've been better if you played some of thoes tracks that were in the trailers for it.  Like the track with a tornado in it, or the one where you do the big ass jump over a titanic-esqu ship in the moddle of antartica.

Things get pretty strange from there, as the ensuing events involve a war between atheist factions and highly evolved sea otters, set five hundred years in the future.

yep, that's south park alright.

Being on South Park has been a kiss of death for game systems though.

I say give it 3 chances, that's the amount of times I let something happen before I count it as something that'll happen regularly.  I gave Konami 3 chances to make a good 3-D ninja turtles game and they blew it.

If the Wii fails then we can say South park has a kiss of death.

the difference between Neruto games and all other licence games is that they actually improve on the seres (of games).

I'd love to see how Xplay would react to playing Neruto COTN 4 after all the bad things they've said about the earlyer games.

Bonk's Adventure is fun, but dated... the sequels are much better.
It's unfortunate that we get stuck with Bomberman '93 because '94 was much better

Well, I don't know which system Bomberman '94 or the Bonk sequals are for but rememer, these are just the launch games.  They probably won't release sequals until later when people have played the older ones.  If they release the sequal along with the original who will play the original?

Quote
Seeing different VC release lists for difference regions makes me sad. There's no reason for that and it's just going to ensure that Japan-only games like Rondo of Blood will remain in Japan.

they're probably going by how popular the games are in that region.  Plus if a game is Japan-only what's the point of releasing it in a English speaking country when all of it's text is Japanese?

That will be the day.  Assasins creed is supose to be a high power game and BG&E sold so badly who would buy it but the fans?

But to shead some light on that Ubisoft has a thing of "depowering" a game onto a weaker system (splinter cell 3) and also Baiten Kaitos supposedly sold badly yet they came out with a sequal.

So my point is anything is possible, but I'm pritty shure it'll be mostly ports or older games.
