Board 8 > AVGN - Majora's Mask

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well, I enjoy the game for the reasons he points out that he likes about it. It's not so much for the gameplay (although I think I did unintentionally sequence break at one point and I feel kinda proud that I managed to pull it off, even accidentally), but for the world itself, the atmosphere, the people in it, and their stories.

well duh, AVGN is a exaggerated cartoon character. But they usually have a point. This feels like he wanted to Talk about MM, forgot he used his AVGN persona, and the "anger" felt like an after thought and he had to play catch up and came up with these.

I think he just liked the game less than he anticipated, and he found enough things he disliked to really jump on. Let's not forget that not every AVGN episode is about nerd rage. People are comparing this one to his Earthbound review, but he was far more lavishing of praise on EB, which suggests he simply liked it more.

Saw it.
I am glad he admitted that the strong parts of the game are strong, at least
As for his gameplay complaints...some stuff he is right about, some he isn't

I totally agree with Great Bay Temple sucking. This is one of the worst dungeons in the Series. At least it makes up to it by having Stone Tower Temple..
I also totally agree with carrying the explosive barrel being a PITA, I hate this part so much

Everything else...is just nitpicking
I never use the bank. As far as I remember it's just a way to get a heart piece of you deposit a lot or something? don't recall. But really, there is no need.
Time limit is never a problem. 3 hours is a plenty and even if time runs out and you need to do something again, you already know how and what you need to do so the second time is faster
Not to mention how when you get a dungeon item it usually makes repeating it faster and easier as well
Complaining about the giant Stalfos..come on, really? a lot of games ask you to leave the area and enter again to repeat something, it's nothing new

There is also the part with the heart piece after the 4th boss which he is right about. I don't defend it, but to me it always makes the logical sense to pick up something that doesn't advance the story first.
I also do it when talking to characters in games, if you know that talking or doing something will advance the story, but you want to talk to everyone else before doing it, you will just not talk to the character that will cause the story progression
