E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Great Rumbler - 26th May 2005

Well, I think that proves it. Twilight Princess is going to be the greatest game ever.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 26th May 2005

Or of this year, at least.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Great Rumbler - 26th May 2005

Hey, let's not limit ourselves here.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 26th May 2005

Game of show eh? That's impressive, considering all we saw was a new video :D.

I kid I kid, a little skepticism is all I'm applying. That way when I play it not expecting it to be the best thing since catnip, it IS, and I'm blown away.

But yeah, from what I've seen, I'm as excited for this Zelda game as I've ever been.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 26th May 2005

Um, DJ, it was playable you know...

Quote:Hey, let's not limit ourselves here.

Being better than OoT, LA, and LttP is a tall order... we'll see.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 26th May 2005

Playable, but incomplete.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 26th May 2005

It's a demo. Meant to be played for just a short time. You need to keep that line moving, you know... :) (and even so, at its longest I read that it reached four hours...)


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 26th May 2005

You are an idiot if you think you can get an idea of the game from just a demo!

Um, sorry, I seem to be making up for a lack of a certain element around here...

What I meant to say was, okay that's impressive. I still have a healthy bit of doubt, but that's just as a protective mechanism more than anything.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Great Rumbler - 26th May 2005

What do you think the Game of E3 is supposed to be? Companies hardly ever show completed games there.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 26th May 2005

I don't think we should bother picking a game of E3 to be honest :D.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Great Rumbler - 26th May 2005

Why?


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 26th May 2005

Um... the best way to get an idea of what a game is, without buying it or before it comes out, is a demo. It's a great way to learn how a game is! The whole POINT of demos is to give you an idea of how the game plays, etc...

I don't understand what you have against demos, or picking a best game of E3... these people have gone around and seen all the big titles, and they shouldn't be allowed to choose which one they think was best? Confused I mean sure, you're basing it on what they want to show you of the game, but for it to be Best Game of E3 you'd certainly hope, that if the journalists have any credibility at all, that they'd be able to look past that and see what the game is... and is there any better way to judge that than playing the game?


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 26th May 2005

I think perhaps you overestimate my resolve.

What I am trying to say is I still have some skepticism, that's it! To that extent I don't think it's wise to rate a game as though it's already complete. That's all.

From there, you have read into it that I have a problem with demos. I don't! I play them too!

I think I can enjoy a demo and see some promise and still be skeptical. It's not a black and white issue.

I think what I'm getting at is this. Don't read anything into what I say. I only meant what I said. I wasn't trying to infer anything else.

Um, okay, but what are you skeptical about? You aren't explaining the WHY, just the what...


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 26th May 2005

If you asked "what", maybe it IS the what I didn't explain eh? :D

I'm skeptical, to a small extent, regarding how fun the game might be. What reason do I have for this? It's just my basic way of handilng game news. No matter how good it seems, until I play it I never know if it's all that good. By being skeptical about it instead of being completely hyped, I lower the chances I'll be let down. I have a healthy skepticism in that I am not certain if the game world is really as vast as they claim, or if the puzzles will be as hard as I would like.

But, that's okay. I still want this game enough that I'll buy it at launch, and then I'll see for myself.

It sounds like it doesn't innovate the series, it just does what has been done really well... isn't that enough?


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 27th May 2005

What do you mean? Enough for what exactly? I basically just said I will hold judgement until I've played the game, but I already know enough to say I want it and will buy it.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 27th May 2005

Zelda is one of those serieses that you don't need to play to know it's going to be great. :)


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Great Rumbler - 27th May 2005

Okay, this is the way it is. Zelda: TP won Best of E3 because it's demo was considered better than the demos of other games. It's really that simple.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 27th May 2005

Yes. And DJ is overthinking things, like usual. :)


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 30th May 2005

IGN is stupid, forget them... but everyone else agrees that Zelda: TP is game of the show. :)


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 30th May 2005

....yes I know...

I'm just giving my opinion on the value of it and making it clear that I am saving my final judgement for when the game comes out. That's not weird, it's common sense.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Great Rumbler - 30th May 2005

You really thought I was serious when I said that it was a sure thing that Twilight Princess would be the best game ever after hearing that it won Best of E3? Erm


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - lazyfatbum - 30th May 2005

TROLL.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - lazyfatbum - 30th May 2005

wait, what did IGN say was best of show?


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Great Rumbler - 30th May 2005

Spore.

I'll agree that Spore is probably going to be pretty cool, but come on, Zelda, people.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 30th May 2005

Yes. Some ones at IGN lost their minds, I think... :)

DJ: it's Zelda! You don't need to question it like you do with most games! Just by being Zelda you know it'll be fantastic...


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Dark Jaguar - 30th May 2005

I was only saying what I did to make myself clear, not to debate anyone.

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS?

You were SUPPOSED to say "oh, I misunderstood" and we were all to get on with our lives!


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 30th May 2005

I didn't post here again to continue talking about that, I posted to say 'IGN is stupid for not giving Zelda GOTS'... :)

Quote:WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS?

Because.


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - A Black Falcon - 31st May 2005

A better answer, then?

"Because questioning Zelda goes against all that we, as Nintendo fans, stand for."

There, that better? :)


E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - lazyfatbum - 31st May 2005

IGN gave best of show to Spore?


...Spore?


..."what"
