/vr/ - Retro Games

>stupid photographer
>better
The DX ending is superior, though.

I liked the bonus dungeon in DX. I understand why some people would prefer the original's monocrhomeness if that's the style they like for the game.

I guess that people like glitches.

>>4594337
I would have just preferred the original in color desu
The photographer is annoying af and the color dungeon just seems hastily thrown together

This is /vr/, anon. You should know by now that the only reason people think DX is inferior is nostalgia, usually under the guise of

Until this thread I had literally only seen claims that dx was superior. What timeline is this?

>>4594447
No timeline stuff going on here, you're just stuck on /vr/ - epic contrarians.

But it's '''''better''''' just because it's colorized, amirite?

>>4594447
It's called bait and too autistic to catch a joke when they see one. Again, this is just how /v/ starts threads.

>>4594665
Most of your complaints are about things that already existed in the non-DX version of the game and just weren't changed. So your problem with DX is that it was too similar to the original?

>>4594665
>But it's '''''better''''' just because it's colorized, amirite?
Yes

>>4594337
I'm playing this game now for the first time.
I beat the original as a kid (after being stuck at dungeon two for about a year because I didn't know what the fuck a pols voice was) and loved the game ever since.
Honestly, the DX version is awesome. The reward for the color dungeon is a bit op but I still consider this one of the top tier Zelda games.
Are the oracle games worth playing?

>>4594915
>Are the oracle games worth playing?
Yes. Probably my favorite Zelda games, particularly Seasons.

>>4594337
I feel like the starkness of the original title screen without the clouds was more evocative.

The color was a big improvement though, especially for the ending.

>>4594924
Do you say that because of nostalgia or because they're genuinely good? It's Capcom, right? I played Minish Cap and sorta hated it..

>>4594932
Whoa, actually the title screen is way batter on the original.

>>4594771
>Most of your complaints are about things that already existed in the non-DX version of the game and just weren't changed.
Um, no they aren't. You have no idea what you're talking about. The only version I currently own is the original release *because* I was so discontent with the DX version.

>>4594665
Imagine being so pathetic you nitpick like that at children's games. And the photo guy was great, fuck you.

>>4594961
Most of the reasons you gave for being discontent with the DX version were about issues that existed in the original release too. So why are you including them as reasons you prefer the original? Regardless of which version you play, those things are exactly the same.

>>4594665
>But it's '''''better''''' just because it's colorized, amirite?
That is one of the reasons why it's better, yes.

>>4594941
The first time I played them was in 2014, 2015 or so.
They are more similar to LA than to MC.

>>4594984
>Most of the reasons you gave for being discontent with the DX version were about issues that existed in the original release too.
No they aren't. No matter how many times you repeat this, it isn't true. How about you try providing specific examples instead of being a tautological prick and contributing nothing of value to this thread.

>>4594932
Yeah the title isn't necessarily better, I like how the shadow of the egg flows into the unobstructed silhouette of the mountain.

>>4594337
The colorized version is worse because it's more expensive.

>>4594404
>>muh monochrome is dreamlike because I'm a MK ultra victim who can't dream in color
lol

I admit my reason for preferring original is nostalgia. It was also my first Zelda.
However, I'm not going to try to force people into my nostalgia-induced opinion. But I have should have a small input of reasoning for my preference of monochrome, it's because I think tilesets in this game were made with the MC limitation. So, while colors on the game aren't bad, I think sometimes they clash too much, or I think certain shades of colors are too bright or dark.
At any rate, you can still play your DX cart on a Super GB and play it in monochrome.

>>4594665
What did the localizers get wrong?

Not incredulous or anything, I'm genuinely curious. I love stuff like this.

Basically just two things: the hippo in the Animal Village originally had breasts and was meant to be posing nude for the painter. It was changed to her just being "animal naked", without breasts. And the mermaid's necklace was originally her bikini top, she had lost it and was topless.

>>4595050
>an objectively better version is worse because i'm too poor to afford paying an extra 4 dollars for it on eBay
Are you legitimately retarded?

>>4596467
Oh no. How could they not preserve this, it totally ruins the game.

>>4594941
It's literally a bunch of new Link's Awakenings with extra collectible shit and some bullshit dungeons. Minish Cap is a different deal.

>>4596467
jesus fucking christ america, can't deal with art models
ffs

They can't abuse room transition glitches

>>4594337
Literally every links awakening thread on /vr/ is people saying DX is vastly superior. Quit lying and posting these shit threads so you can feel like a special snowflake with a unique opinion when you know 90% of the board shares that opinion.
You’re probably the same guy who made the thread claiming everyone hate World of Ruin in FF6.

DX version is a shitty romhack. Disgusting use of color.

>>4594337
it has some more content but oddly enough i can understand why someone would like a colorless version of a game over colored.
colorless makes you picture mentally what color things would be, so in a way its like seeing more detail than whats really there.
like the colors you get on a gbc are never ideal anyways

>>4598726
but world of ruin did suck
most people that dropped the game did at that point

>>4598772
>but world of ruin did suck
I agree but most of /vr/ praises it

>>4596549
Fuck yeah.
I'm so down. Def going to play them once I beat DX; got three more dungeons and some shells to find.
Should I start with Ages or Seasons?

>>4598772
>colorless makes you picture mentally what color things would be, so in a way its like seeing more detail
I bet you're one of those dorks who likes to read books or something.

>>4598826
Ages is more puzzle oriented, while Seasons action oriented (Seasons started as a Zelda 1 remake, which is more action oriented than post-NES Zeldas). Pick the stuff you enjoy more.

>>4598826
Depends.

If you're only going to make a run of each, I would suggest first seasons, then ages. Otherwise, ages > seasons > ages

DX is better in every quantifiable way.

>>4594337
>poor colors that won't match
>superior to the original chiaroscuro

>>4600869
I would add that the blancnoir is more likely like a book, where you can imagine the colors you want. It's almost like ppl like to be held by hand, fork by mouth
