RE 4

[A Black Falcon]

I forgot exactly, but I remember it being very obvious.

There were no hints. You just had to figure it out.

Different colors give different things. But I suppose knowing that would be exploitative, right??

No, that's just a game feature... I didn't know there was a difference based on what color it is...

It's an absolute FACT that I finished it in a little over half an hour. Here, I'll record myself doing it all over again and if you give me money for shipping and a blank tape I'll send it to you. Seriously, I'll do it!

It's not a fact because it's impossible.

And please do tape it. I'd love to see you play it again and see that you are completely wrong. I was just playing it and do you remember the dungeon in the start island(Outset?)? Yeah, the one where you need to fight through 30 rooms to get the map piece. Even at top speed that'll eat up almost half of that 30 minuites... I went through it as quickly as I could and made good time but there are 30 stages and it takes time no matter how good you are. Maybe you could do it in 10 minuites but that'd be pretty fast. if you could manage to even just beat all of those other mini-dungeons in the other 15 I'd be pretty impressed... oh they aren't super long but there are many of them...

Face it, it takes a couple of hours at least. More if it's your first try because you won't know the puzzles. Go actually play the game and you'll see what I mean.

Now, the game IS fun. The main reason I quit really wasn't because I couldn't find any maps but because the ones I was trying to get were annoying me... see I never thought of in your resort house using the grappling hook on the celing beam thing. I looked around that island so many times for where that triforce map was... then I went to a FAQ. I didn't even know that any of your items worked in the house... that's the kind of puzzle that's easy if you get it but if not it could take forever... :) Once I actually got down the fireplace it was simple enough though.

Oh, or how about the puzzle I'm at now? It's the one to get the Ghost Ship Map, with those pots that teleport you... after spending like ten or fifteen minuites on it I quit in annoyance. Stupid stupid puzzle... and unless you get a FAQ for a map or something unless you're lucky it could take a long time to complete.

You = sucking does not = me sucking. A guy just beat Super Mario Bros. in five minutes. I guess you'd call that impossible too, right? Your poor gaming skills make you believe that everyone is that bad and you cannot even fathom something better than you. I find that very, very pathetic.

I am sure that it is not physically possible to do everything needed for all 8 shards in half an hour. That is unless you run it in an emulator at like 600x or something... but for a real human being, completely impossible regardless of skill level. Say something like 'a couple of hours' and you'd be on track for a quick runthrough of the part of the game if you've done it before and know what to do... I know that Zelda games become far easier and quicker once you've beaten them and know what to do. But still all the transit time and the amount of time you spend fighting enemies (unless you know a magic way to instantly kill them) and you're looking at a couple of hours most likely.

You just forgot how long this takes and don't want to look stupid by giving in but I am actually PLAYING this part of the game right now and know that it is impossible to do in your supposed time.

In Mario 3 it would be possible to win in that like 15 minuites or something if you could go at full speed through the entire game. Even if you did that in this it'd take far, far over half an hour.

Exploiting?? What an idiot thing to say! It's bad that I found an easy way to make money in WW? I guess it's bad that I made tons of cash in Shenmue II by gambling and didn't have to work for hours like other people did, right? It's a game, you're supposed to find different ways to do things. Finding a bug is a different matter. This is not a bug.

I guess it's also really bad to get lots of bottles in OoT and fill them up with fairies in a fairy fountain, right? Dork.

No, it's not a bug, but it's a cheap way to get money when you know they don't mean for you to just load up on money that easily... compared to faries where if you get the bottles of course they expect you to use them...


Oh here's the IGN review's paragraph about collecting the Triforce...

Gamers who played the Japanese version of the title, though, will be happy to learn that Nintendo has for the most part improved the US incarnation by eliminating some of the extra tediousness surrounding the collection of some Triforce pieces in the water. It can still be frustrating, gathering all sorts of Triforce maps in order to endlessly search out pieces of the artifact, but at least it's now possible to see where they are directly on a map. (In the Japanese version, one such quest had you find a map, that led to a map, that led to a map, that led to a Triforce map. That one thankfully got the axe.) The sheer amount of time saved by this addition is practically immeasurable, so thanks, Nintendo.
