Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill

Yeah, I have a 3ds but I want to get LInk between worlds next. I think I'll try FE7 or something.

I never quite got Zelda's enduring popularity because it's, like, the same game most times with some minute variations.

Same for mario for that matter.

Or most video game franchises.

the gunplay was fun, the graphics were good, and the health/companion mechanics were interesting if poorly utilized

the checkpoint/road network thing was crap. respawn rates were dumb and they didn't add anything to the game except as areas you could go to start a fight if you wanted to for some reason

the plot/factions/charaters were awful. both sides of the revolution were exactly the same. there was no message or moral or anything, to the extent that the african setting meant anything it was just somewhat unique and controversial but ultimately said nothing. it reads like a shelterd gamer's first exposure to postcolonialism

the checkpoints are carefully calibrated so that you can just ignore them if you want to (seriously, if you drive right through they will only chase you for a little bit), but you never feel safe outside of the safehouses you've cleared.

the sides of the revolution are meant to be exactly the same. the basic point is that it's a pissing match that's being prolonged by the western world selling arms and sending mercenaries to everyone that buys, with the player becoming complicit in that, and even more if you do the bonus objectives. the only morality is to engage in genuinely altruistic behavior and sacrifice yourself for the innocent.

anime is not good
FE7 is the only one I've played and it's pretty legit, but I don't know how the internet gets so obsessed over a bunch of paper thin characters. I guess not playing as a child hurts the experience or something.

as far as i can tell it goes through active threads up to a certain point (e.g. not within the past few hours or so?); old threads that happen to not be archived yet are good too

what's cool about all these macklemore and beck and kanye affairs is generally how chill the artists in question are b/c they can just rely on their fans and everyone else to whip up a whirlwind of outrage. that must be mad cathartic in some way.
