How is responsible for modern gaming? If I were going to put any franchise on the cross like that it would probably be Halo or FF7. But if you want to make the case OoT did as much damage I'm all ears.

I’m like an hour in and it’s honestly not very fun. I can understand why people like it because if you played it when it came out it must have been amazing, but it’s really not that impressive now

Impossible, it doesn't have any downloadable content, online multiplayer, a season pass, microtransactions or lootboxes. Also it's a finished game.

>I’m like an hour in and it’s honestly not very fun.

Like, the opening honestly isn't that good. It's good as an introduction to the rest of the game, and well designed in that respect though. But if you've gotten Zelda's letter and you still think it's bad than I don't know what you're looking for in it that it's not offering you

Fun combat, interesting exploration and a world that seems worth engaging with would be a start. Just not for me I guess.

I tried it in 2010 and it bored me to death. Then i tried some ps1 games a few years ago and they were super fun. When you aren't loyal to either side it's pretty clear which system had better games.

>Fun combat
This is a completely fair point really, it's enemies do suck and this is the biggest actual problem the game has, but at least there are now finally mods that address this issue and actually take advantage of the combat system it has.

>interesting exploration and a world that seems worth engaging with would be a start.
This is the chief merit of the game and Zelda in general when it's great. Like the game gives you so many way to interact with it that you can experiment with that I can't say anything has been more engaging. There are so many moments where you realize that you have some new means of doing something that lets you explore it in a new way.

Once your psyche actualizes the composite experience of the game then the very beginning is quite good. You just haven't developed an appreciation

Imagine an avid whiskey drinker walking into a world class IPA brewery never having tried them and going "Oh I don't see what's so special about it, it's all bitter and lemony and tastes like pine cones."

>I just wish it was done well is all.
This is a laughable statement to me, if you haven't spoiled yourself on the games content with youtube or guides then OoT is one of the most subtle and mysterious game worlds ever crafted. 90% of games can't even touch it

I usually do because I've had my fill of OoT but a person with taste will always gravitate back to the classics after going through lots of good but ultimately inferior products

[Anonymous No.10658948]

>>10658863
I really don't feel like ragging on it, but I have tried so many times to like Zelda because sometimes it has a really cool aesthetic and looks like it would be awesome and then I get bored long before finishing. Wind Waker came closest but even that I couldn't bring myself to finish. I really don't want to yuck someone else's yum if they really like them, I just wish I found them less disappointing. Nothing much else to say on the matter.

>"overhaul" difficulty mods
I like the idea, increasing hazard damage by a lot (make you suffer for failing a trap), increasing the amount of enemy encounters in every dungeon, and making more of them unskipable.

The first video looks sloppy to me
The second one seems really neat adding a stamina bar. I'm curious how that plays. The video hardly showed any fighting...

[Anonymous No.10659128]

I looked at the second vid and the Stalfos fight went pretty fast but I can imagine the stamina bar could be pretty punishing for a player that makes a lot of thoughtless swings. Pretty cool

It does have a *good* opening though. It's not as great as the game becomes when it opens up afterward, but its a very well crafted way of introducing you to how the game works and letting you discover things for yourself before you access the rest of it. It's an essential part of the game that's done decently well, but it's not as good as say, the Undead Asylum, and the game just immediately becomes much better once you pass it.

There this weird parallel between OoT and HL2 where both games are so highly rated and advertised as this big jump in technology but both manage to be less fun than their predecessors.

Explain why Link's Awakening is that much more fun than OoT? I like both, but I don't think that's the case. There's just so much more to explore in OoT, and while Awakening does have a very cool and unique world and feel, so does OoT, possibly moreso.

This game was dated and childish the day it was released. Most overrated POS of all time due to sad Nintendo fanboys having like 3 games to play for the entire n64 era and having to cope hard that they didn't have MGS, GT, RE 1-3 or any of the other games which actually changed modern gaming forever.

I didn't play Half Life 2 til at least 10 years after it came out, wasn't a big fan of the 1st one. Start off
>oh another long train intro how clever
>oh I'm walking around doing nothing it's just like the first game zomg
>finally some action... no gun, running down corridors with scripted events
>oh cool I got a gun, just in time for a sewer level
>thank God I'm out of that shit, maybe the game will give me some freedom ro run around and shoot stuff
>wait what's this fan boat thing?
Maybe it's cool from a narrative and presentation stand point but it bored the he'll out of me, just like OoT

Exploration never feels rewarding in OoT.
And it's full of artificial blockades that make doing the next dungeon are chore instead of an adventure.
Add to that everything just became more tedious: puzzles, combat, and interface.

[Anonymous No.10659414]

>>10659405
I don't find OoT boring at all. There is a lot to explore. Halflife 2 isn't like that at all; it is a scripted, linear cinematic experience. There is nothing more to the game than what meets the eye.

The demo sorta acted like a prologue. Everyone played the demo when it came out and that set the tone for the rest of the game so that you weren’t bored to tears by the first bit. You were already intrigued and wanted to know more about the world. It became difficult to tease out the lore, though, because so much was either hidden inside the behind-the-scenes manual or self-contradictory or just never told.
