MM was a work of art. It made choices not everyone agrees with, sure, but it had emotional and interpretive depth.

It was good, but felt more like an Oot expansion pak than its own game Not exactly, but where I could see anything close to meriting that opinion is because it was an originally unplanned side story that was only allowed to reuse the assets from OoT.

Yeah, you can tell it was part of OoT somehow (same graphics, inputs, sound effects as opposed to all other Zeldas apart from PH and ST that are unique) I enjoyed it, more so than TP and maybe SS, but I still love WW and I'm only 130 hours into BotW (which I'm loving) --- Not changing my sig until Nintendo announces the Switch XL 1/12/2017 ...

I think I got to the part where the game wants you to get five Zora eggs or something like that, and I only had one or two bottles at that point, making the entire thing extremely tedious, to the point where I just quit. The time mechanic is only neat when you know how to balance your time, know where to go, what to do, and have the right tools at your disposal. Resetting my progress, only to learn I missed an item and have to redo a puzzle, is not in any way fun or entertaining. Coming so very close to completing a dungeon and then running out of time is not fun. Backtracking is not fun. Call me slow or sucky at the game, but when I want to take my time, I shouldn't be punished. Because of that, I honestly kind of hate the game.

I hate time limits in games. Doesn't matter how generous they are, the first time through there's no way to know how long anything is going to take and being on the clock made it hard to enjoy exploring the world. The time mechanics can also lead to a frustrating amount of trial and error. When I played I worked my way through all the steps to get the gilded sword, only to discover at the end that it would take a full day to make and that I had to do it all over again. The game has a lot of good things to offer, but the time mechanics make it extremely hard for me to enjoy.
The interesting aspect of these issues is that they only really matter the first time you play through the game. Once you have a general sense of where to go and how long each quest takes exploration becomes a lot more enjoyable and the pacing isn't interrupted by repeated content. For that reason I feel it's a hard game to judge fairly if you first played it 15+ years ago and that initial barrier is a distant memory. --- And with that...pow! I'm gone! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I didn't really know much about it before this thread. Now that I've learned it has a time limit I can confidently say I will not be touching it at any point in time, ever.
I don't even like games with stages that give you a stupid letter grade. One that resets my shit? Lol, nope. Nope it right in the butt with a rusty three-pronged spork. I don't buy games for achievements, I don't buy games to rush through the story and add a notch to my considerable pole, I buy games because I like them and want to play them. If a game is going to punish me for playing it then I'd rather buy a one way ticket aboard the nope train to Fuckthatville. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Raganork10 05/25/17 12:44:21 PM #36: |
See, time limits don't inherently bother me. Stuff like Valkyrie Profile execute it perfectly (as well as Persona to a lesser degree) because you don't have a constantly-ticking time bomb that's passing by just by standing still. You're allotted a certain amount of days to do whatever you like, and the time window is extremely generous, giving you freedom to mess around and explore.
Dead Rising, Lightning Returns, and Majora's Mask do it poorly. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think Majora's Mask is one of the rare games that is more fun the second time you play it, but I don't know if that's really a good thing. It's only because the time limit is so annoying the first time you play it. I remember hating it when I first played it as a kid, and while I enjoy it much more now, there are still some things that I think are bullshit.
The Kafei and Anju sidequest is really annoying. There are too many things to do and if you miss one you have to start the whole thing over again. And even if you do complete it correctly, there are two different ways to notify Madame Aroma. You have to do the whole thing twice if you want to get both the Postman's Hat and the Chateau Romani, which I think is bullshit. There are smaller things that are cheap, too, for example, I think the All-Night Mask only appears depending on whether or not you save the bomb lady. But I can never remember which it is, and I don't see why it matters since they're seemingly unrelated events. Then there's the grandmother's stories, one of which you're purposely supposed to answer wrong, but that one I also can't remember which. I'm also never sure if you need the room key to do the Kafei-Anju quest, but I seem to remember that if you talk to Anju too early you can't get the key from her later on. And of course, fuck the saving. I know the game gives you a warning about how it works, but that's the kind of thing you'd probably read once and then skip through it every other time. I remember when I'd have playthroughs that I'd take long gaps in between play sessions, so I forgot how the saving works, and if I didn't do much after loading off an owl save I'd just turn the game off and then when I turned it back on I thought there was some glitch where it was deleting my save data. I guess that's partially on me, but it's just a dumb mechanic. I assume they put it in there to prevent save scumming, but it's annoying, and it's a bad mechanic because it fucks you over on freezes/power outages. I heard they changed the mechanic for the 3DS version at least, though I'm not sure what they changed it to. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm save-stated immediately in front of the water dungeon boss with like 3 minutes remaining in the day. Have been for a year. As I understand it, if I want to continue, I have to redo the past several hours.
Could have planned that one better with a guide, but I do not wish to use a guide. Guides ruin exploration almost as badly as MM's trademark "time-wasting punishment for exploration" ruins exploration. This redo/padding mechanic is the only thing MM seems to have added over OoT, and it's crappy. It's an interesting idea that ended up being grindy rather than fun. Redoing the entire goron dungeon because I forgot the sword upgrade because I'm not using a guide was just too obnoxious. --- One day dude, I'm just gonna get off the bus, and I'm gonna run in the woods and never come back, and when I come back I'm gonna be the knife master! -The Rev ...

You said you have three minutes to beat the water dungeon but then mentioned a Goron boss? I'm confused. Also, by "save-stating" do you mean you're using some kind of emulation, or an owl statue? If you have a save state, then why is running out of time an issue
