Quote:Many things can be similar to each other in many ways and still be classified differently. CDs are pretty mcuh the same as DVDs, bikes are pretty much the same as motorcycles, trucks are pretty much the same as cars, etc. The way you seperate these things is by having a clear definition of what they are. Video games are interactive games where you manipulate images on some sort of a screen. If there is no manipulation of image(s) then it is technically not a video game. That is a fact. Whether or not you choose to believe it is up to you.
Okay... let's end this.

Definition two is a synonym for 'Computer Game'.
I rest my case.
Oh yeah, and text vs graphical adventures (especially the early, graphics-and-parser adventures) are far, far more similar to eachother than any of those any things. No question about that.
Quote:The argument was about whether or not OoT has "tons" of more enemies than WW did, which I proved to be false. You weren't even a part of this argument, so what the hell are you talking about? You just sat along the sidelines while me and Darunia did all of the arguing.
I thought both of you were wrong on some points and right on others... Darunia was wrong about how awful it is to fight all those Moblins, and about how many more kinds of enemies OoT has, and you about the thinge we're discussing here...
Quote:You see the same enemies in WW more often than you do in OoT because WW has a lot of fighting while OoT has very little. And while the fighting in WW is easy, it is a hellovalot more fun than fighting the few, simple enemies in OoT. And I never had any problems fighting OoT's enemies. Just the bosses.
I just don't find it all that fun to have to wade through lots of easy enemies... its way more fun to have fewer, but more challenging, opponents. Those two times i died in Dodongo Caverns? One was to one of those pairs of Lizardmen. Those guys can be quite hard! Nothing in WW is as hard as the Lizardmen in the second dungeon of OoT... not 'will you die' challenge wise.
And that's pretty pathetic for WW.
Oh yeah, and WW certainly has more enemies... but I'm not so sure about your 'way, dramatically, more' statements. Yes, there are more... that is obvious. But so, so many more like you make it sound? I probably would disagree with that...
