thanks everyone for contributing to this debate, although i dont think we have really got anywhere
everyone keeps mentioning ikaruga, yes it does sound hard,[ iv not been on it ] but just becuase that game isnt easy it doesnt make up for the huge amount that are, you cant use ikaruga to defend all the easy games NGC has produced.
Referring back to the point that Stu said with his long list of tasks which are very hard,what do u notice about the those? Thats right, the outstanding majority contain "hard mode" or master mode" etc. Which takes away the subject quite frankly. Why should I pay.... £40, to get a game
which only gets hard with a change of difficulty level?? I expect the raw challenge from the start, i wont to go into a new game excited without even casting an eye on the diff level.
Using wind waker, where is the diff level for that? That game was built up for months and months and months, and as the months flew by i was getting excited, only to realise the game was a total peice of pi$$! I completed it within 6 weeks or summat. Games without diff levels should be made harder and WW was is no exception, there is no excuse why that game should have been amde to be as easy at it was. And finishing on WW, the last boss with the great Ganon, that was just a farce. [If you havent done it yet im sorry id stop reading]
The last third of the boss where you have to reflect the light onto him and hit him as much as possible was very hard and i thought was a brilliant ending, i couildnt do it for ages, [or so i thought] only then to realise by accident when i presses A to do a defensive attack, he got hit on the head with one shot and that was it, so lame! How is that a boss to end the game? it isnt! However if they [nintendo] would have realised to take off that stupid yellow arrow above his head i wouldnt have even got past that boss yet which i think would have been cool! And the ending was poor as well, i just wanted to walk around, sail wherever and do little things like nintendo gallery etc. But it just started all over again in different clothes.
I would like to finish by saying im having a dig at zelda becuase it was a beautiful experience but it was too easy, if there is a worse example of easyness this year[ i feasr MarioKDD] i will do the same to that as well
