It's not like I had a hard time with the controls, and unless the gameplay becomes wildly different later on or the story becomes so riveting that I can't stop playing, I think I can safely say it wasn't my cup of tea. I'm not ragging on those who like it, nor am I comparing it to any other games, just saying it wasn't my thing.
OoT is the same exact Zelda equation as LttP, just in 3D, and I think it transitioned so well that it enhances the gameplay experience.
Sadly, the gameplay does not drastically change halfway through the game, which is one of Katamary's biggest downfalls, and the story is simple. The story is We love Katamari is better, but still nothing that you will cherish forever.
The thing that kept me going back to the game was how satisfying it was starting out small and insignificant then ending being bigger than the gods themselves. The sequel (or expansion I should say), does try to enhance the gameplay a little by adding slightly different missions, like instead of rolling a ball, you roll a sumo wrestler and grab as much food as you can so that he can become fat. Then when he is fat enough, you take him to the ring and knock the other wrestler.
I think you voiced your opinion the wrong way. Had you said "I played the game for like 10 minutes and it didn't appeal to me", then it would be understandable. But since you compared it to the Blair Witch, a movie that was a fluke, then said you didn't understand why people see the appeal to it, it does sound like you are ragging on it a bit.
Maybe this is why Vudu brought it up here, since it does sound like you were ragging on it. I think had you voiced it differently, it wouldn't be as bad.
Also, to be blunt, your opinion doesn't hold a candle in the thread because Svevan was asking if the game was worth it. And lets face it, between someone who has given the game enough time to tell you what it did right and wrong and someone who played it for 10 minutes, then dismiss it, who do you think will pay attention to?
