The characters and portraits never looked good to me, but you forget about it as you play because it's well made

I think I'll get it then. Like the cheap visuals makes it feel like the game must be cheap too, you know? But several posters have vouched for it, and I wouldn't mind a tactics game. I can't quite wait for Triangle Strategy atm.

There's different endings? and I really missed something if that was the conclusion to be made.

edit: forgot a key question mark

I think you did.

However I would play the poo poo out of a game where, say, a courageous Zelda has to beat a power-mad Link with the help of wise old Ganondorf.

I named myself Ganon in my latest LttP run and it's cracking me up.

Picked up Fell Mark. I'll try it out later this weekend I hope. Surprised to see it had DLC so many games get DLC these days. Something with catching monsters, definitely not going to bother with that.

Ganon was a cloud of red smoke possessing killer robots. Zelda is the one pursuing the excavation and repair of said robots. She doesn't feel any connection to the triforce of wisdom or courage, And this lack of connection drives her study. You don't actually kill any of the onerous robot bosses, you just get them to switch sides. The final boss is ike a lab experiment gone wrong.

Ganon never manifests as a person, he is just a "calamity." Caused by what?

ganon ended up the way he did because his constant reincarnations caused identity death and he eventually manifested as a mindless force of chaotic energy. the robots were corrupted after originally being made to stop him. zelda didn't feel any connection to the triforce of wisdom because her dickhead dad forced her to spend all her time in her room reading scripture instead of letting her pursue her curiosity in the natural world

there is not a lot of story in botw, how do people get it this wrong

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY: Feb 3, 2006

One weird thing I noticed in Pok�mon: most of the battle arenas have reflective floors, but occasionally there will randomly be an ugly matte patch. I'm pretty sure this only happens when a character is wearing a skirt that might make said polished floor inconvenient for a family game.

Not a big deal, but it detracts from the nice looking arenas.

Hyrule caused the calamity. The calamity ganon appeared due to an emperical focus on power and a real lack of wisdom. It's not interesting if the big angry cloud of gas doesn't represent anything wrong with Hyrule.

And hey, how's this: At the beginning of the game a ghost tells you to save Hyrule. You see a lot of ruins, but the people mostly seem ok. Did Link actually see a ghost? Did Hamlet?

Yes, Link did. The ghost gave him a paraglider.

The Kingdom recovers and restores an army of superfast, hyperintelligent killing machines. This goes wrong somehow, and the resulting theme of the story is not "it was the red fog that did it."

It might be Link, even, that has the theme of power. He doesn't need the tunic and has to rip the master sword out of the ground. For the other guys, it was easy. You knuckle your way through the whole game instead of relying on cunning and tools.

Yes basically. Specifically the surveillance state and related military complex.

you see poo poo like monsters hunting down a traveling couple, did you play the game with your eyes closed?

that's not OK, really rather the opposite if I have to brain some dorkmons with a big stick to prevent an innocent couple from being absolutely bodied

The monsters are weirdly civilized in this one. They live in treehouses and tell campfire stories to one another. And not a single one of them is more dangerous than Hyrule's army of octopus robots.

Why is "Evil Hyrule Castle" such a popular recurring final dungeon?

Fell seal: arbiter�s mark is good. It�s nowhere near as ugly when in motion. It has a really robust job system for people who like that. It may end up giving me choice paralysis but that�s ok. I recommend it for its sub-10 Euro price. I can say more when at a keyboard if you like because I loathe using touchscreens.
