Quote:Oh for Chr--
You know what? NEVER MIND. You obviously only want to listen to that stupid voice in your head, so I'm not going to say anything anymore. You refuse to listen to logic and reason, so go join your other inane buddies Darunia and nickdaddyg and have a big convention for stupid people.
I'll just be over here playing this imaginary video game inside my head, but it really is a video game since I'm manipulating my mental images!
That wouldn't be a video game... it needs some kind of screen display, obviously, to be a VIDEO game. I never questioned THAT fact... I just said that text can be an image. That is it... you seem to think I said video games don't need any kind of graphical display at all. That is not true... I just said that words that describe images are images in enough of the sense of the word to count as the 'video images' in video games.
Yes, yes, they are in your mind... but the mind-picture is a image of what you read on the screen! How is that so dramatically different from seeing a drawn image in a game of a apple and then imagining what it looks like in full 3d?
As for a sound/input-only game, I don't think any exist, so I don't really think classifying them matters much. :)
Quote:It's too much of the same for me to call it a true sequel. It uses the same exact graphics engine, the same exact interface, the same exact controls, the same exact models (except for some new baddies), and was even originally titled "Zelda Side-story".
MM is a sequel, unquestionably. It adds a bunch to the gameplay system (the whole timing thing) -- far more than many sequels, for sure! LOTS of sequels do very, very little innovation, yet they are definitely sequels. Now MM does feel quite similar to OoT, but it changes it a lot more than many sequels... so of course it counts as a full sequel!
