I finally picked up Nimpize Adventure (Ocarina of Time hack). Why did everyone suck this game's dick when it first came out? It's the worst of the full game OoT hacks I've played, except for Fate of the Bombiwa, though that one may still be better because it's just one hour of bullshit instead of twelve. The part that's finally pushed me over the edge is a room in the Fire Temple. You remember in vanilla OoT, there is a room where a wall of fire chases you as you run across a grate to the other side of the room? In this hack the grate is replaced with moving blocks, which SHOULD be no problem, but the blocks' timings are seemingly completely random. Sometimes the blocks line up perfectly where you can jump from one to the next and sometimes they're so completely off that it is impossible. And most of the time when the first blocks line up, you get to the end of the room and the last few don't. They're too far away to see from the entrance so there's no way to tell if you'll be able to make it or not until you're halfway there. Sometimes when the blocks are off camera they despawn and then respawn when you look in their direction again, which can either fuck up the timing or fix it, but this too is completely random and I have yet to figure out what specifically causes it. So after an hour of being stuck in this one room that SHOULD take all of two minutes because the dumb fuck piece of shit who made this game didn't take the limits of the engine into account when designing this horrendous fuckheap, I am finally giving up on this game.

Fuck Nimpize Adventure.
