Original or DX?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 18:11:18 2019 No.5620862 DX has bonus content for GBC and can be played on an original GB.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 18:12:01 2019 No.5620865 >>5620853 DX for the sake of bugfixes, some nice touches, comfy cameramouse and colors. DX is superior in every way

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 18:14:17 2019 No.5620871 no reason to play the original unless you are speedrunning or something

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 18:14:37 2019 No.5620873 Original for nostalgia purposes. Otherwise DX.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 18:46:30 2019 No.5621005 >>5620853 I would say DX played on a regular GB is the best compromise, but DX fucked up the secret ending so fuck that version.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 18:49:49 2019 No.5621013 >>5621005 IIRC if you play DX on an original Game Boy you get the original secret ending

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 18:49:53 2019 No.5621014 >>5620865 >DX is superior in every way You can't use B to skip the pop up text for rocks and power-ups in the DX version, but you can in the original.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 19:22:41 2019 No.5621121 DX is much easier, more tedious, and has changed graphics (not just added colors). Original.

Bosses take less hits to kill and move more slowly (eg, the Bottle Grotto boss who was considered "hard" in the pre-OoT era), and there is way more unavoidable instructional dialogue (eg, every fucking time you touch a rock without the Power Bracelet equipped, which ends in the original once you simply acquire the PB). I still like DX, though, but it's really designed for fans of the original, despite those flaws.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 21:04:08 2019 No.5621452 DX with the quality of life mod

The message always goes away after getting the bracelet in the DX version.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 21:45:02 2019 No.5621550 >>5621540 There's something else like that in it, then. It's been a while since I played through it, admittedly, but I'll do that again soon and be ready with more exact details for next thread.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 21:46:53 2019 No.5621556 >>5621540 I think the other anon had it right. If you have the bracelet equipped then the message won't appear. But put it back in the inventory and it will come back.

I've had the DX version, and I know for a fact that the message vanishes forever once you get the bracelet, just like the original game. He's probably thinking of other obstacles like the cracked blocks and the ones you have to crush with the Pegasus Boots, which have hint messages that never vanish.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 22:05:50 2019 No.5621606 Original. The colors don't look that good, seems like it was kind of a cash-in when the gbc came out

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 22:40:36 2019 No.5621687 >>5621452 This and with the restoration hack while you're at it.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 22:42:45 2019 No.5621691 >>5621606 this. This becomes especially apparent after playing the Oracle games and seeing their good palettes

>>	Anonymous Thu May 30 22:44:57 2019 No.5621694 >>5621606 >cash-in for the gbc's launch Probably even more so a cash-in for OoT players to be convinced to buy a GBC, all three of these products being released in 1998.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 01:42:25 2019 No.5622040 >>5620853 Who else hated how the power triangle and power acorn ruin the mood of the game?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 02:09:21 2019 No.5622080 >>5622040 They can be handy earlier in the game when you have low health, but yeah by the end of the game I just avoid them.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 02:14:31 2019 No.5622090 >>5621606 >>5621691 Have the rest of you guys ever seen such an objectively bad opinion in your life?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 02:15:23 2019 No.5622092 I'm not a fan of gbc games and their gaudy colors honestly. DX is slower too. Original > DX

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 02:22:19 2019 No.5622106 >>5622040 Well the text box does but not the music.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 04:09:15 2019 No.5622264 >>5621691 What are you smoking? The palette is oversaturated in the Oracle games.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 04:13:55 2019 No.5622272 >>5622090 Not since yours. Just because you didn't play the game until after Ocarina of Time doesn't mean that your perspective is even close to accurate.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 04:21:04 2019 No.5622279 Call me a fag but I only played DX Should I play the original now? Is there any romhack I should look for or is it just fine the way it is?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 04:30:40 2019 No.5622283 >>5622279 I don't think there are any hacks of the original.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 04:31:15 2019 No.5622284 >>5622283 Seems like it. Oh well, time to dive in.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 06:57:54 2019 No.5622434 >>5622279 No problem in only playing one or the other. DX faggotry is when a person presumes the game is better (or is the exact same in tone) simply because muh color, which is rampant in this thread.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 07:00:06 2019 No.5622439 >>5622279 The original game is still easy enough to beat without any modifications. You have a "save anytime" feature (press all face buttons to bring up "Save and Quit" menu), so be sure to use it often.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 07:47:19 2019 No.5622486 >>5622363 So just press A if you want to read the whole thing?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 08:39:52 2019 No.5622539 >>5620853 I'd say DX if only because the Color Dungeon adds more game play. The popup messages never bothered me, and the color is appreciated even if it wasn't meant for the game.

Anonymous Fri May 31 11:57:55 2019 No.5622923

The DX bonus content breaks the game, which is already too easy on its own. And the colorization uses some really bizarre palette choices that are there simply to demonstrate the GBC's color mixing capabilities.

In all honesty, I think the DX version is completely pointless and you're not missing out on a single thing by playing the original version instead. And I'm saying this as someone who's completed both versions multiple times.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 12:33:28 2019 No.5623010 >>5622923 >The DX bonus content breaks the game The only game-breaker I know of is taking the Red Mail from the Color Dungeon.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 12:37:38 2019 No.5623020 >>5623010 Both of the bonus dungeon rewards break the game, and some of the enemies in the DX version are given less health on top of that.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 31 12:44:28 2019 No.5623034 >>5623020 I'll still take the Blue Mail for not trivializing the combat completely. It's already impossible to die in the normal game past Level 2 anyway.
