Topic	I rank series by their visual design [ranking]

What surprises me about the P5 write-up is that it's seemingly based exclusively on the provided images, which I assumed were just there for a starting point. Yeah, it's almost solely based on the provided material. It was unfeasible for me to research 74 series on my own, so this was a method of making it easier on me. handsomeboy2012 posted... Its a strategy game so players are going to look at maps all the time. Theres not going to much variety anyway, but I think the artwork and maps do count as visual design? Okay, so I wasn't missing anything. Thanks for clarifying. I did think it was a challenging nomination because I didn't feel like I had enough visual acuity to judge maps on their own, but I did like the artwork. - Here, have another writeup. 71. CD-i Zelda games @paulg235 https://cdn-uploads.gameblog.fr/img/news/393027_61a11193a0a34.jpg https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYmVmOTRjZDAtODU5MS00MTUwLWJhMmMtODNmOWMzNzdiZGZhXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyODEwMTc2ODQ@._V1_.jpg https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/001/965/Morshu_-_Original__HD_1080__0-5_screenshot.jpg https://cdn.wikimg.net/en/strategywiki/images/thumb/9/9c/Link_the_faces_of_evil-map.jpg/300px-Link_the_faces_of_evil-map.jpg https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/bfs5vcauhchtf1ao4hzt.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c0vDTMKlP0 I really want to give this, like, a top 5 placement for being so entertaining. But I wont! What more can be said about the CD-i Zelda cutscenes (and I guess some in-game screenshots you posted)? The animation is so bizarrely constructed and confusing. The characters movements make no sense. Why does Gwonam the wizard pause after saying your sword is enough for what feels like two seconds, and why does he make a gesture with his arms for no discernible reason? Why do everyones bodies float around like theres an industrial fan blowing on them at all times? Whats with the facial expressions, like Links little smirk when Zelda turns him down, or the kings infamous FOR finger point? Theres just so much here, and all of it is weird, uncanny valley level stuff. Everything is disorienting. Its like a tornado of bad animation and off-kilter voice acting rampaging through the trailer park of your soul. The animation certainly looks like a tornado hit it! I wonder if these cutscenes would be as infamous if they werent attached to one of the most beloved, critically acclaimed game series of all time? Probably not. I also wonder how often higherups at Nintendo have watched them, almost certainly against their will, and how much they influenced the decision to not license their IPs. I could talk about all the meme dialogue, which fills me with laughter (Ive always especially enjoyed the underrated bit where Link asks What are all those HEADS? and we dont see anything other than the flying carpet lol), but in terms of a piece of visual design, this is shockingly...not at the absolute bottom? Its terrible, sure, but its terrible in an almost innocent way, like a child who zaps ants with a magnifying glass. I enjoy CD-i Zelda for what it is. Now, if this were Hotel Mario, wed be in business...! <cite>rwlh posted [p:971581221] in I rank ser...
