This statement leads me to think you have never even played it before. How can you say you don't like a game when you haven't even played it?
Well, off the top of my head:
- The game contains content I find objectionable. It doesn't matter if the underlying game mechanics are genius if I have to subject myself to material I consider harmful.
- The game style is one I have never enjoyed before, even with similar games (prequels sequels) I have played, thus is seems unlikely that specific title will do something different enough to be worth my time (and possibly money if it isn't being loaned to me by someone).
Please note that I love
The Legend of Zelda series as a whole, and of the games I have played
Majora's Mask was
phenomenal! I just have often been on the receiving end of
ultimatedra's argument (from other people) and know that when phrased that way, it is flawed. Likewise I've had people try to extrapolate it from something like foods or gaming and then things really get messy (there are many behaviors I have never tried and hope never to try).
Now in
Crinus case it seems odd since he states he enjoys so many other titles in the series, and I don't understand his complaint about combat, save oh yeah, the game starts you off as a Deku Scrub.
Crinus did you ever get past that point? Once you do combat gets to the point of being like OoT, and as the game expands it goes
beyond OoT as you enjoy learning how to fight as a Goron and Zora!
When I write on the internet, I do not care to be grammatically correct.
If I were to write a novel or English essay, then perhaps.
Your logic is flawed. It is common courtesy to attempt to use proper grammar and spelling. Not using it is considered an insult. If you cannot use it, that is fine. Your argument is the equivalent to someone who refuses to speak clearly unless giving a speech. So everyday life is frustrating for people interacting with such a person, because sometimes he mumbles, sometimes he whispers, sometimes he shouts... and in the end it almost always garbles what he says.
Please have common courtesy to attempt proper written communication. Most of us are more than willing to accept some online shorthand here or there, but abusing the language just because you don't want to capitalize a proper noun or use the correct punctuation makes your posts frustrating to read and sometimes even insulting.
On Topic: Congratulations on beating Zelda II, Crinus. I never did beat that one myself and when I sold off my games, it had to go too of course. Not sure exactly how far I made it, I just know I was nearing the end. I might have made it to Shadow Link once, but if I did I am sure I died to his stabbity rage.
Now... why the shame/hate for using guides? I recognize the accomplishment of a player who beats a game using only his own wits and exploration, but not everyone can take the time to do that or finds it enjoyable. Not surprisingly I fall into the camp of wanting to "enjoy" my game, and I regularly use guides. Most of this stems from hating to "miss" stuff and then having to play the game again
just for that thing I missed and honestly being a bit of a perfectionist. "Simplistic" games where there isn't something to miss are usually the ones I can skip the guides for, or at least come back and use them later should I need them.
I know this is a common opinion, but I find it so odd: do the people who feel it is wrong to use a strategy guide or seek help with a tricky spot in a game find the idea of anything but self-education equally offensive? That if you had to have a teacher or tutor help you (at all) you "cheated" in your education? :lol:
