Zelda

Ocarina of Time is bess.

Although Wind Waker is pretty damn awesome.

Eh. Ocarina's tedium was optional. Wind Waker's tedium was mandatory.

you know what I found funny?

My TV had a picture in picture mode. While sailing for long distances I literally watched tv and let the game play itself in one direction until something happened (like a shark attack)

my brother owns the wind waker collectors edition and the legend of zelda collectors edition AND pre-orderd the collectors edition of skyward sword and he gets a golden wii-remote with it AWESOME (btw i already like this thread like hell)

I just watched the free 3DS video of an orchestra preforming the recording for Skyward Sword's main menu theme.

It's glorious. I'm definitely getting Skyward Sword, the only thing that looks questionable is the Moblins. They kind of look like beta placeholder models.

Skyward Sword on the 20th, I'm pretty excited. The golden wiimote looks pretty sexy.

Also, found Link's Awakening DX for cheap at a flea market and I've been working through it. Seems like I like the oddball Zeldas (Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, etc) better than the more main entries.

Majora's mask is not oddball, it's amazing.

[Buraito Supāku]

Majora's mask is not oddball, it's amazing.

I think he meant that Majora's Mask wasn't a "typical" Zelda game (Go on a quest, kick Ganon's ass, get some princess booty), but one that experimented a little. (Save the world from the moon, get out of a endless time loop, get some masks, etc.)

I, for one, welcome changes that add to the gameplay. Like the Great Sea in Wind Waker or Wolf Link in TP.
But, at the same time, some franchises do the same and fail horribly because the gameplay is too different from the core gameplay. (Hello, Werehog! Howdy, Mumbo Motors!)
However, this doesn't mean that Unleashed and B--K:Nuts and Bolts are bad. It's just like you are looking for gems and all you find is oil and coal.
Sure, they are nice and all, but not what you were expecting or looking for.

Average Reaction to GameSpot

[Theta Zero]

That's nothing. Have you read their Twilight Princess review? In the Wii version, they downrated the game because the controls were good, saying they made the game too easy. Then in the Gamecube version, they downrated the game because the controls weren't the Wii controls.

Relying on video game reviews
Why

[Dusty]

Lowering a games score because it's on the wrong generation of console? what.

[Theta Zero]

I'm not relying on them.

I'm just saying their score is really dumb, especially on the four point scale that video game reviews often use.
