Fremry posted:Also, I don't know if I just didn't notice it before, but ddp.nintendo.com has a big disclaimer at the top saying that the promotion ends December 31, 2014. I know that this has already been talked about, but people were wondering if Nintendo was going to extend it into 2015. I was also hoping they would extend it, someone is going to throw a huge fit about the expiration this December even though that's been the date since the Wii U was released. After I buy Costume Quest 2 that will put me at $30 in rewards back, I never planned on going digital but assumed there would be more $10-$15 titles. Too bad the Wii U eshop is finally getting better when the promotion is ending.

Wind Waker is actually legit amazing which is why it's on the best next gen console, the Wii U. TP is MUCH better than OoT but is pretty boring. SS is lol.

SRM posted:Link Between Worlds is a system seller-level game. That's the best Zelda I've played since Link to the Past, and maybe the best in the series. I dug Wind Waker but no other 3D Zeldas really grabbed me. It really is. It's one of the few games I really got hooked on and didn't put down until I finished it - I haven't done that in a long time. As much as people bitch about lazy remakes, if they re-used the engine and pumped out remakes of the Game Boy games I wouldn't hesitate to buy them. It's pretty much the idealized form of 2D Zelda gameplay. (This applies to LTTP as well, but that would be somehow lazier since the game is pretty much an upgraded maphack of LTTP to begin with) Or hell, resurrect the Four Swords franchise with online play.

What the gently caress goons TP has some of the same problems but it has some great locales, bosses, item usage, dungeon design, story ideas, music tracks, and has the added benefit of using the perfected Z-targeting from Wind Waker. It also has the best companion of the series bar none. edit; Master Quest fixes the dungeons in OoT, to be fair. If you want to play OoT for the first time, definitely do Master Quest.

You're correct. Rayman does it a lot better. Though really TF's problem with water levels has less to do with not having great controls and more to do with having really boring or bad level design. Making an entire level full of samey water levels was a really bad choice. The game is fantastic aside from that one world however, so it's still a game everyone with a Wii U should play. Macaluso posted:Rayman Legends wishies it could it could even come close to how good Tropical Freeze is in every aspect I like Rayman Legends more than TF because Rayman is fast and slick and challenging without being frustrating. TF is too grueling in sections, though they're still satisfying once you beat them. Basically, Rayman is the kind of game I might come back to every now and then to play through some of my favorite levels. But I'm never going to play TF again.

Making an entire level full of samey water levels was a really bad choice. Yeah, that world in particular really drags the game down. Not having water levels in Returns was a great choice and seeing them move away from that was a real bummer. It's still a great game though, don't get me wrong. If you have a Wii U and like platformers you should play it. I'm really enjoying Hyrule Warriors despite not being that much of a Zelda nerd. It probably has the most attractive graphics, funnest variety of characters/moves and best spread of content of any Warriors game I've played. It's definitely still a Warriors game though, so I doubt it's going to change the minds of many people who hate that series.

Twilight Princess has good use of its items? What? "Oh man, this Spinner is super cool!" *never uses it again after the dungeon* "Wow, the dominion rod is kinda neat!" *Uses it to move one statue to advance the plot* TP has great dungeons but the overworld is the worst. Hyrule Field is boring and empty, and the only use for most of the dungeon items is for finding hidden poo poo. The game is also stupidly easy. The end boss only does like 1/4 to 1 heart of damage per attack. Plus nobody likes the forced wolf sections.

I'm still not sure what to think of Rayman Legends overall. On the one hand, I feel the levels were all absurdly tightly made and pretty much platform perfection which required skill from you without being aggravating. On the other hand it just sort of feels thrown loosely together. Something about the package as a whole feels unsatifying. It never felt like it was building to an end. It was simply a collection of levels that I played through until there were no more levels. While I guess most games are this when you break them down, most of them at least attempt to hide it behind something. When I beat the game there wasn't really a sense of anything. It was just sort of a "oh, I guess I'm done" moment as the credits rolled, which was a really odd feeling. It feels odd to dock a game whose levels are basically perfect for such surface level reasons but it still managed to take away from the game alot for me.

The Moon Monster posted:Yeah, that world in particular really drags the game down. I'm playing through these stages right now and I'm of the same opinion. They really arnt that fun compared to the last 2 worlds. It's more of a pain in the rear end and a sense of 'alright, let me just get through this crap so I can enjoy the rest of the game'. Dk water levels have always looked/sounded nice but I've always disliked playing them even back on snes.

Midna, like Tetra in WW, is a character that starts out really cool and gets less interesting as the game goes on (though Midna is much less bad than Tetra in this regard).

Blackbelt Bobman posted:Plus nobody likes the forced wolf sections. Oh also, just for posterity, the spinner was used outside of Arbiter's Grounds to get a few heart pieces and inside the Sky Temple to work the mechanisms to call up the bridges. That is nothing compared to your utter lack of memory of the nice scavenger hunt that used the Dominion Rod to find and move all of the statues scattered across the world, most of which you'd seen before or had the possibility of seeing before and wondering what they were all about. Honestly if anything pick on the Ball and Chain, it's almost entirely worthless outside of Snowpeak Mansion. Twilight Princess isn't perfect but don't call it out on things that don't exist.

The problem is there's maybe one interesting spinner track to ride on to get a heart piece, which is a legitimate complaint to have. Also the dominion rod is used for that quest and the Temple of Time but that's it.

^ Not arguing that TP doesn't have some disappointingly underutilized ideas; Just that they weren't used in one temple and then completely forgotten about. I totally agree that they should have had more uses but I really do like how the Dominion Rod plays into some of the stand-out moments of TP. The Spinner, however, is so-so.
