Craig G - I don't think 5 hours is too much, there was a lot of game leading up to the Forest Temple, plus it is kind of long for a first dungeon. ALL the dungeons in Twilight Princess are sort of long, however, I wouldn't call any of them tedious.

The only tedious moment I've witnessed in the game so far has been SPOILERS AHOY the giant statues puzzle right before the master sword SPOILERS NO LONGER AHOY.

Kingfish, you're after Phoenix Wright! Sure, it's more like a book with questions at the end of each chapter than a game, but it sure is brilliant.

Yeah, but I heard Pheonix Wright is pretty damn short, w/ no replay value.

Also, i'm boggling at the fact that I'm older than nabisco.

also, gimme a recommendations list for DS/GBA games, preferably ones that i can acquire cheaply from the used shops.

can handheld systems sustain playing a long-form RPG(e.g. FFIII?)

apparently you can now get your Mii head printed on a t-shirt at mrcloud.com.

Zelda is massive! I've put in about 20 hours, and just gotten to the end of the - SPOILER?


Desert temple. They've all got one though right? It has one of the most fun items Ive yet seen in a Zelda game though (probably forgetting some), hoping it comes in for use again at some point and I'll be shocked if Nintendo haven't crafted a mini game or two with it in mind...

HERE ENDETH THE SPOILER

I spent fuckin hours today just pootling about Hyrule though, trying out all the fishing (possibly the only thing to make me sad I don't have the Wii version) and everything. The point at which you can really explore - usually when you've collected the initial three items say - and the game really opens out is always my favourite. I think I'm starting to see a proper town starting to develop - along the lines of Wind Waker more than Clock Town from Majoras Mask most likely, but I'm hoping for anything in that regard, cos thats often one the greatest things about Zelda. I love the working, changing towns... Like having a mini animal crossing in the middle of a huge adventure game or something.

But yeah, it's fucking huge. Like they've just crammed in every last bit of every Zelda game in to one huge best of. And if, like the rumours say, this is the last Zelda in this traditional style then it makes sense to go out epic style.

Unless the fishing gets more intertesting after hour 15 (where I'm at), you're not missing much there by not having the Wii remote. Using the remote with the bow is really really great though. And, of course, the sword.

Yeah I really really wanted to talk about this but don't want to ruin the surprise for others, opening that chest was one of the ultimate WTF moments in gaming history for me.

has been plagued with problems since its erection in 1978 (nklshs), Friday, 15 December 2006 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Have you done the fishing up at Lake Hylia yet, larry? I'm just wondering, cos it seemed like that would be great fun!

This game has really made me laugh on numerous occasions, and I'm really glad that's all still there (and especially that it's text based - contrary to what many reviews have said - cos the humour relies on being read for one [Malo's little mumblings when you're showing the kids how to use yr sword say], and having everything spoken breaks the game and how it all works...), supposed "darker serious tone" or not (and that item just sort of had me chuckling to myself with joy). S'funny though, I've seen a few people mention online that... nobody is talking about Zelda online! I mean, I'm sure they are in some places but it's almost as a)too busy playing and b)nobosy really wants to give anything away.

guess i should stop reading this thread for a few hours

Enh, I'm not worried about Zelda spoilers, since I know it won't be until summer at the earliest that I actually get a Wii.

i on the other hand really want to know what this item is

tom sandbox west (thomp), Saturday, 16 December 2006 02:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha! After defeating an enemy with a particularly satisfying move, I put Link's sword away and he did it in his fancy triumphant way with a spin! Poser.

I just got to another dungeon, saw it was eight floors in all, saw the time and thought... yeah, fuck that.

Suedey McSuedeyson (Suedey ), Saturday, 16 December 2006 03:20 (seventeen years ago) link

nabisco, I can't wait until you some day get an Xbox 360. there's nothing quite like joining an online game to hear adults screaming at children about fucking their mothers.

hm (modestmickey), Saturday, 16 December 2006 05:21 (seventeen years ago) link

of course that's not too different from the offline version of UNO I grew up playing with the family

My bf now decides he DOES want a Wii after all grumble and of course theres none to be had in Melb til after xmas is there? rarr! Ah well. No big rush I guess.

Reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus, only set in neo-/megatokyo and you have to take down a big stompy robot.

Hey Trayce, do you still play the Sims 2?
Have you got/tried Pets yet?

earth defense force 3 for the 360. it looks good!

I am so buying an account for this tactics thing :(

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Saturday, 16 December 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I officially swore off it after getting trounced by two white supremacists in one night. I don't know if they were having an online convention or what.

Bummer, I just signed up for this last night after reading you talking about it. Gravel, what server are you on? I just picked Great Lakes or whatever at random.

The Yellow Kid (TheYellowKid), Sunday, 17 December 2006 09:04 (seventeen years ago) link

kit: yep, I've been playing Pets! It isn't too bad, but is rather buggy and a patch hasnt come out yet. The only bizarre part is the animals go everywhere - including inside of restaurants and nightclubs wtf.

Next expansion: Seasons! Finally, we get weather in the game!

Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 December 2006 10:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Sims expansions are always buggy on release, but with EA behind it, I guess we're lucky to be supported at all. I'm getting Pets for Xmas. Do you have any stuff on the exchange? We could have a festive sim-swap.

teh_kit (g-kit), Sunday, 17 December 2006 13:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm on great lakes - gchat or mail me if you want to play!

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Sunday, 17 December 2006 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but I heard Pheonix Wright is pretty damn short, w/ no replay value.

I heard this too, but it still seems pretty mammoth to me! I played it every day on my hour journey to work and it took me a couple of months. I have replayed it since, but yeah, you won't get anything new out of it the second time except for a couple of different bits of dialogue based on answering questions differently. If you see it cheap though, definitely get it - it's my favourite DS game by miles.

I tried to get a new BS Lite today, but EVERYWHERE is sold out. Fucking christmas.

teh_kit (g-kit), Sunday, 17 December 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

fucking christmas indeed, i've not had a moments chance to play much of my games. good thing i didn't go buying mad and get a wii and 360, they'd either be gathering dust or i'dve got nothing done for xmas.

anyway managed to play a bit more of vice city stories last night, it seems to have stopped skipping now - radio still jumps from time to time. I'm loving it again. I did the CIA vehicle collection thingy, but where are the rewards ??

Ste (fuzzy), Monday, 18 December 2006 11:18 (seventeen years ago) link

After a few attempts I finally finished the double dragon bonus mission in The Warriors. For nothing. Bastards! Takes forever as well.

Sad I've finished it though, felt a lot like GTA:SA for characters etc.

THANKS FOR TEH TIP! But I already have a Wii.

Anyway, I managed to get a BS Lite on the way home. Hoorah!

I was at this one place Saturday that had no Wiis, GBAs, DSs, even GCs, but had one GameBoy Micro. It was cuet!

for the first 10-15 years of my life, i would have killed for this game.

Now, I can only wish it upon the next generation.
