Strell and thecubedcanuck:

End the fight now.  The next one to toss out an insult is going to get banned.

Well, he won't be banned, but personal insults won't be tolerated.

Its not your opinion that is getting you in trouble here.

It is that you open up a "NEW" topic to express everyone of them. I am positive that of you kept most of your comments to exisiting threads (and in many cases an exisiting thread would have been available for your point) you wouldnt get hassled at all by the PGC staff.

...

So remember, go easy on the new topics and all should be fine.


Bingo!

Well, you're looking at it from an entirely different perspective than the designers.  They're not trying to find ways to cut out features to make you buy a GBA (actually the goal is more likely to sell GameCubes to GBA owners), they're ADDING features as bonuses for those that do have one.  The Metroid thing especially - It's no good to own both games.  You have to BEAT both to get all the bonuses.  Anyways, it has as much to do with the creative possibilities as the marketing possibilities.  Miyamoto told us at DICE that Connectivity is still one of their greater challenges.  They have the ability to link up systems, but they're still trying to find ways to connect them that don't seem merely gimmicky - which IMO Wind Waker is the first to accomplish.

I am curious how the wheel you mention actually changes the gameplay?


If you've never played with a wheel with force feedback, it's hard to explain, but basically the wheel will pull against you realistically if you get bumped, spin out of control or simply are going up hill at an awkward angle.  You'll also feel bumps as you cross wooden bridges or dirt roads.  It's far more advanced than the simple off/on rumble of standard controllers.

Then why complain about not being able to play the original Metroid.

Well, unfortunately that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  I got Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 last fall, and earlier this month picked up the sweet new Logitech Speed Force steering wheel.  It was a pleasant surprise to find that the game supports the wheel with all sorts of additional force feedback features that change the gameplay significantly.  Should I expect to have these same features without spending $80 on a wheel?  Of course not.  How in the world could you implement them?  Although there are some cheap, uncreative means of using the GBA connectivity, other features like the Tingle Tuner simply are not possible without another screen and controller - whether that means getting an GBA or another GameCube with a Game Boy Player.

No, it isn't true.  It's a video game.

I agree wholeheartedly.  theaveng, it's okay if you don't like this or that about Zelda, but you're wasting all day complaining in topic after topic.  If playing games is such a big chore for you, then go out and find another hobby.

Nintendo Gaming / So what are your disappointments with Wind Waker (Spoilers)
« on: April 03, 2003, 08:47:15 AM »
I can't see how anyone could like the Great Fairies from OoT/MM.  Although I'm not into the four-armed thing, I like WW's Great Fairies much more.

Ganondorf remains alive because of the Triforce of Power - which he doesn't lose until the original Zelda game from NES. This is why the first two games will always be at the end of the timeline.

Nintendo Gaming / Where are the cell-shading naysayers?
« on: April 03, 2003, 07:59:04 AM »
Heh...well Anime was only called Japanimation in America.  Actually...I'm fairly sure that in Japan anything animated, including American works, is called anime.  So all this silly bickering is kind of pointless then.

And also, Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli films are on a completely different level.  I know people that won't even refer to it as anime.

Just want to remind everyone of one of the new guidelines here:

So members can ask questions without having to worry so much about spoilers, please use the quote button when replying to someone's question. This way they can ask a question without reading the previous posts and then look for their name in the replies.


I just had one of the pictographs spoiled because of someone not doing this.  We want to try and reduce the number of spoilers, and this is the best way I can see to do so.  You read the question, realize you don't want to see the answer and move on.

« on: April 02, 2003, 10:53:19 AM »
The cartoon shading and Link's design are new, but the Zelda style is the same.  The majority of characters in OoT and MM have a very cartoony style to them, despite the fact that the environments used more realistic textures.

....
!!
You know what I just realized?  There are no chickens in Wind Waker - what a jip!

« on: April 02, 2003, 07:19:01 AM »
Actually, there's a part that seems to remark that OoT was hundreds of years ago, so I'm quite curious now.  I thought it was a bit too much for 100 years, so maybe there's no way to tell how much time has taken place.

I was also hoping for more larger islands like Outset and Dragon Roost, but overall I'm happy.

Too easy?  Hmm.. From what I had gathered, most people found it too difficult or tedious.  Perhaps if all you're trying to do is beat the game, maybe you can get through it pretty quickly.

Closing this down.  It's basically come to a close on it's own anyways.

Sounds like you know what to do, you just haven't gotten the item yet.  If you haven't noticed, you can use the light to clear the mist on the floor too.

By the way, is it just me or is it totally baffling that they named this the Earth Temple?  I referred to it as the Shadow Temple when I was playing the Japanese version, and that's how I'll always think of it.

I haven't leveled up Shedinja yet, but it didn't get hurt at all until the fool got confused.

The sound is excellent - Metroid Fusion actually had me turning down the subwoofer.  I'm not sure what TYP was talking about myself so I'll pass on the message.

I'd suggest importing it if you have a modded Cube.  I've never been favor of switching out discs all the time though, so it's up to you if you want to do the Freeloader thing.
