    I hate Zelda

    So, I just finished God of War II on the PSII for the second time, and I absolutely love that game. Fast paced, violent, lots of fights, and pretty straightforward. There were only a couple of sections that I was kinda lost on what to do, but found out pretty quickly.

    I turn on my wii for the first time in months, to continue Zelda: Twilight Princess, which I left months ago because I couldn't find out what to do at a frozen lake. As I still didn't know, I go to check the walkthrough guide at ign. I realize two things:

    1. I had to warp to a completely different and random zone of the map, which had no relation with the freaking zone I was at the moment. How could one ever find out that? The only way to ever find that out is if I got frustrated and just started walking around the entire zelda world. It's ridiculous.

    2. I thought I'd been playing for weeks already (before I left it because of frustration), and I was thinking I was about 60% done. But checking the walkthrough guide, it looks like I'm about 25% done.

    This game is just retarded. Walk walk walk, dig, walk, talk to somebody, walk, swing the controller to kill something, warp, walk walk warp. I freaking hate this game. This has been my second Zelda experience. The first and only other Zelda game I've played was the Minish Cap for gameboy, and I loved it, but this wii game is just boring, except for the cool controls (which got boring after the first 5 minutes), and somehow nice graphics, but for the rest, it sucks.

    Go back and play ocarina of time for N64. It wasn't named the best game ever made for no reason.

    Don't own a n64 though :P

    But I'm seriously considering in connecting my atari 2600 and play pacman, with my awesome wireless remote controls. I have to fix or find a new adapter for the thing, but it probably still works

    yeh, twilight princess just ended up being more like work than entertainment. Peicing togethers bits of a random and absurd puzzle to get the one thing you need to get to the next zone. Meh.

    The game's depth was really in the dungeons which was also my main gripe. Every freekin room doesnt have to be a puzzle. I think I got stuck around the same area argo. It does pick up gradually though, become much faster to get around and a lot of the items get put to good use. I will say that by the time I beat I was really ready for it to be over.

    Sounds like Oblivion, well, minus the dig and swing part.

    No, I'm not and I'm not the only one, I tried to sell the game to a friend, but he hated the game as well, so I had to be a good friend and take it back.

    I dont understand why you even bought it. You know what kind of game it is going in, it's the best action RPG made to date...so if you dont like that kind of game...dont waste your money.

    Yes, and I hated all the ten hours I wasted and lost on it. Worst PS3 game I've got till now. You can have it for free, just come over and take it.

    I'm a little over 100 hours in and I still haven't touched the main quest line .

    I've been playing it a few hours at a time every now and then since I bought it last fall. I've been a fan of the series since daggerfall. Can't wait till the team releases fallout.


    As for zelda, I lost interest in the series when it hit 3d. I've tried playing ocarina of time but I just keep getting bored and stop.

    i was completely addicted to twilight princess when i started. I put 14 hours in the first week. But now it's such a chore to play, everything takes so long and there seems to be no end. It's not a game i can just pick up, play for 20 minutes and be done with it for the night. it takes at least 2 hours to do anything of importance and that's just time i don't have.

    are you serious? I thought Oblivion was pretty cool.

    I absolutely hated Twilight princess, only spent like 5 hours on it before I got bored and sick of the annoying cut scenes.

    This should help.

    I should get around to finishing this game. I have a bad habit of starting games but not finishing them.

    I like that kind of games, really ... but not this one. While it's true that I'm more into japanese RPG, I played tons of western action RPG's in the past and loved many of them, but this one? Not one bit.
