The Dig is Wasted Potential: The Game. Annoying characters, mediocre presentation of the alien world, boring puzzles, and one of the worst endings I've seen in a video game. How can anyone like this trash is beyond me

It would be hard for Orcarina of Time to age badly when it was already one of the dullest titles of the fifth generation. Seriously each episode following the boy "adventurer" and his pals from Hyrule as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the cartoonish imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of repetitive puzzles, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Nintendo vetoed the idea of a third party producing the games; Miyanoto made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody- just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for their annual "party games" and childish fighting franchise. The Zelda series might be anti-Sony (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Spyro series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement.

>a-at least the platforming elements were good though

"No!"

The writing is dreadful; the exploration was nonexistent. As I played, I noticed that every time Link went to "explore" a largely empty world, Nintendo shoehorned in some repetitive puzzles to pad out the game. I began marking on the back of a Nintendo Power magazine every time I came to the same rehashed box pushing/lever pulling puzzles. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Nintendo's team is so governed by cliches and milking tired franchises ad nauseum that they have no other style of development. Later I watched a lavish, loving Let's Play of The Ocarina of Time by some YouTube manchild. He said something to the effect of, "If these kids are playing Ocarina of Time at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to owning a Nintendo Switch." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play The Ocarina of Time you are, in fact, trained to play the same dull Nintendo rehashes decade after decade.

Doing good, had a lovely day consuming high brow media such as the works of David Foster Wallace while listening to Swans.

Because he is trying to escape one of the dullest franchises of all time.

Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

The children just need to be prodded in the right direction. Pepe posters have a higher chance of developing a soul than urban bugmen.

Nice gaslighting. My point was the content of his posts, not the forum.

If you lack the frontal lobe activity to follow a simple chain of conversation, stop wasting everyone's time and stick to upvote oriented websites which can curate your thoughts for you.

Niggas be seriously arguing about the best way to watch Sailor Moon.

I still have no idea why they gave spyro that ugly fucking redesign and included him in the first one.
