skyward sword

[trent bortknob]

yeah i don't really like reviewers in general, though they are useful if you view them in the correct light.

like using music reviews. a lot of music reviewers are snobby assholes (pitchfork media's whole fucking staff, the needledrop, etc)

but i've found that if you see a group that is usually labeled as similar to a group that you like, or you hear a group somewhere and like a song, or someone recommends a band to you, etc, it's not a bad idea to check out their albums and see what kind of reviews they all got.

with some groups (like joan of arc) not a lot of people review them and they usually get either very positive or very negative scores, so this process doesn't work well. but plenty of times when a band is recommended to me and i find a good album by them it helps me to get into them. almost all bands at some point go downhill and make a not-so-great album, and it sucks if that's the first one you listen to.

but with video games i just follow a franchise because i'm not much of a gamer. i pretty much mainly play zelda games but not very often at that.

I'm totally getting this game. It'll be the first Zelda game I've played since Minishcap (which was shit).

[Gladius]

play link's awakening you philistines

[rtil]

i am just going to assume everyone has already played link's awakening

and if you haven't just keep your mouth shut or i will ban you

[tmk]

that was first video game I ever played, took me a year or so to figure out that you had use your shield to push the damn urchin thing blocking the sword

[ZennyPLUS]

Link's Awakening was an excellent game. The first one I ever managed to beat.

[Necronomitr0n]

link's awakening, first and only zelda game i ever played (and never beat)

[CoolDrMoney]

I never played Links Awakening O WELL

[trent bortknob]

i like link's awakening but it has its drawbacks

like you can't save the game unless you die.

everyone has to play a link to the past. amazing fucking game, same with the two n64 zelda games: ocarina of time and majora's mask.

[Sinitron]

link to the past owns

[Sapphire]

link to the past was gay because someone deleted my save file and i never wanted to play it again

I am probably the only one here who loved both Oracle of... games.

nope

can you save the game in another way? i'd really love to know how. i was playing it for days and could not figure out how to save it, so i had to leave it on. i googled it and everyone said you had to die to save, except some people who said if you hit some button combination it would save, but it never worked for me.

[Gladius]

you press A, B, start and select together

it ends the game but it was probably designed to discourage marathon play

[emanhattan]

i still think majoras mask is the best zelda game. but id be more than welcome to have a new favorite after I finish skyward

[naturally]

i think majora and link to the past are the best personally, but my fav is skyward.

[emanhattan]

im listening to the orchestra disc that comes with the game. I had almost forgot it even exists! its pretty badass too

[ZennyPLUS]

That's probably the main reason why I would get the limited edition bundle.

[emanhattan]

that disk will come with all games independently of you getting the bundle or not methinks

[naturally]

yeah it comes with all copies

[ZennyPLUS]

yeah it comes with all copies

I'm guessing he's checking out Zelda's pin ups from 1986.
