goddamn i can wait to get off work and play this shit.. ..should i go ahead and plan to call in sick tomorrow? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
This advice is from one man to another. Call in sick tomorrow... Tell them you have cancer. |
||||||||
|
|

Hahaha, Cabbog your a funny a guy. Pomme, if I were you I'd call my ass in......trust me geeking it out in front of the TV is much more productive than doing anything productive. :] |

i'm on the second temple in the game. challenging, but nicely done. sometimes its painfully obvious what needs to be done in these things after like ten tries. i spent atleast an hour just sailing around. this is the second best game i've played after final fantasy 7. ocarina of time held that spot before. |

Another thing that ups the ante : The combat. I'm never-ever going to get bored of fighting no matter how tedious the enemies. You can literally FEEL every poke, smack, and slice... And the animation : Oh God. If I could type in tongues I would. ARGHRH!! I can't take it! This game not only lives up to my impossible expectations but continues to exceed them in every regard! Metroid and Mario Sunshine were horse apples compared to this. I hope to Hyrule we get a sequel(re Majora's Mask)- I would willingly offer up my nubile body in human sacrifice to appease the pantheon that is Nintendo. |

Excusez-moi? Is fellatio a French word? Anyway, watch the tongue penis sheath - Just because I like to play videogames all day doesn't mean I don't have a mean donkey punch come night. |

sweet :-D Maybe i'll immigrate to america! I don't know if i can wait until May 2nd to put that lovely disc into my gamecube. I might have to stop reading this thread before i run into any spoilers... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
May 2nd!? That's too long mein freund! If you DO decide to export yourself you're always welcome to bunk with me.. <3 teeheehee! 726-789-3502 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"That's too long mein freund! " yeah... nintendo is a wonderful company for sure, but they always treat europe like shit :-( Why should there be such a long time between US and European releases? I understand the difference between Japanese and Us-dates, because it takes time to translate from japanese to american... But why does it have to take so long to make a PAL-version? I just don't understand it... but ohwell... i'll just be patient ;-) And thanks for the offer :-p I'll keep that in mind. If i come, i'll buy a gameboy-advance, and i can assist you in the zelda-quest and drop those tingle bombs ;-) what is 726-789-3502 though? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uhh.. Nothing. The European issue is strange; I'm sure there's a reasonable answer though. It's all marketing issues probably. I AM in need of a Tingle assistant now that you mention it.. Alas, still no Gameboy SP for Cabbog :( I put in an application at Radio Shack *cringe* a while back so they should be calling me soon to tell me I'm hired. Do they really care if you use your mom as a reference? Anyway... I just got done playing for another 2 hours and would like reiterate that this is the SINGLE BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. That includes Fallout, Donkey Kong Country, Secret of Mana, Heroes of Might and Magic II, Master of Orion, Crusader : No Remorse, Dark Forces, Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger, Jedi Knight, Morrowind, Skies of Arcadia : Legends, Halo, Pikmin, Zelda : A Link to the Past, River City Ransom, Sonic & Knuckles, Mario 64, Interstate '76, X-Wing, Final Fantasy Adventure, Final Fantasy 3, Metroid Prime, Tactics Ogre, Starcraft, Diablo II, Half-Life, Deus Ex, Max Payne, Civilization II, Street Fighter II, Metal Gear Solid 2, Comand & Conquer II, ... The only game I can even fathom coming close to it is Warcraft II. That's it. I'm talking about the initial intensity of the experience here. Every puzzle I've encountered so far is incredibly clever and fun to solve. The animation is the breath of God. The atmospheres are incredibly detailed.. This game shakes the very foundation of reality itself! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the game is amazing and perfect, i can't stop playing, the animation is superb-an epic that will be a classic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"so they should be calling me soon to tell me I'm hired." yes, you can probably expect that call any day now :-p Having a job is nice (well... having a salary is ;-)... and it also makes you feel good about yourself and stuff like that). But you seem like an experienced gamer... if you think of this game so highly than... wow :-D It must be awesome! I was in a store the other day, and the gamecube was playing one of those demo-discs with upcoming games... and that also featured zelda. I could not believe how good it looked :-o Those tiny quicktime-movies on the internet cannot possibly prepare you to how astonishing it looks on a big screen :-) But alas... it's back to mario sunshine for me. There are only two missions left for me to do in there (before i can go any further), and they both suck :-( (riding a blooper for red coins in the harbor, and running around a goop-covered pianta village without the fludd! Jesus christ, what kind of sadistical programmer came up with those? :-p). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I'm literally choked up thinking about this game, and knowing I can't play it. :-( But today, somehow, I will find a way to obtain it. I don't even care. I WILL have it soon, broke or not. |

Those missions are both stranglers, especially the nozzleless pianta one. How many shines do you have so far? |

haha me too, what tricked me was that the lady in the cafe said to wait until dark and I waited but no dark so i was like wtf? but i got it, I just threw whatever her name is in the air so she could fly up to the ledge to visit the dragon (know where im talking about)? |
||||||||

I dunno though Cabbog, Metroid prime is incredible, its definately better than Mario sunshine which was a little bit of a letdown, dont get me wrong it was good but not as good as id hoped. where are you now cabbog? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the explosions in the gameare oh my GOD!!!!! the beggining island looks like crap compared to the areas after though, I didnt think it looked as good as id heard at first but now its just incredible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only have like 50 shines, I kinda gave up for now, ill go back after I beat metroid prime, star fox, zelda and resident evil 0. im too far behind, I just hope nothing comes out too soon. :P |
||||||||
|

I'm always here, I just choose to manifest my presence via text at different times of the day. Don't you ever forget that. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I just completed the second 'temple' and am taking some time to explore the ocean before moving on to the next. Mario Sunshine was a big let down for me. I was expecting a lot more in terms of....everything. Hopefully the next one will reinvent the wheel like every Mario platform-debut should. Metroid Prime was incredible, no doubt about it, but in comparison to Zelda it's space pirate fodder. Zelda is the game you buy a Gamecube for. Just like you buy an X-Box for Halo or a PS2 for Final Fantasy X or GTA3. This game is so awesome. I'm still having spasms and seizures when I try to goto sleep.. The prince has returned! |

The beginning sends waves of righteousness through my spine. After I heard 'the theme' I decided life IS worth living.. *stands in a triumphant pose |

... Well? Did you squeeze the money out of your poor mother you pathetic milksop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One piece of advice : I recommend not going back to any of the islands you've already visited unless you're either dictated to do so or very far in the game. It can tangle up the order you were meant to experience certain events in. p.s. This game is awesome. |

72 shines. And i beat those two missions :-) Apparantly, writing about my frustration in this thread was all i needed. After that i went back to my gamecube and beat them fairly easy (after having been stuck for a couple of days). That blooper-race was a nightmare... and again... it frustrates me that nintendo includes that sort of missions. If i want that sort of gameplay i'll just buy waverace >:-( Mario is supposed to be a platform game in my eyes... but oh well... that's just me ;-) Right now i'm stuck in the volcano... my boat keeps sinking whenever i accidentally touch a rock... aaaaaaaaarrrghh!! It's so hard! You can hardly steer the stupid thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah ophecks? I'm very curious to hear how you obtained that game without having any cash! I bet you made your mom breakfast and cleaned the entire house whilst she was at work and things like that ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

mario sunshine is still an awesome game though... but not what i expected at all. The tropical theme throughout does get boring. And (because of it?) the game also feels relatively small. (small levels, and not very many of them either). The fludd is like a dream come true though... and i've gotten completely used to the camera (hated it first, now i love having so much control over it). In terms of playability, i think it's even better than mario64! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I asked my mom for some cash, and she said ''maybe''... which actually means ''definitely'',and I'll be shocked if I'm not playing this game tomorrow. Thank... God. She saw the anguish in my eyes, I think, had to comply with my demands or else I'd hang myself, that's probably what she was thinking... because it was almost too easy. Mario Sunshine is great, but yeah, I HATE the tropical theme. I HATE it. In real life, I hate sun and beaches, so why the fuck would I want to run around on sunny beaches in a game? I miss mountains, snow levels, caves, castles, deserts, etc. Still a 5 star effort, but it's shockingly flawed for a Mario game. I mean... they've ALL been perfect until this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, hopefully Mario 128 won't have ANY palm trees. Bah! There's still another Metroid game on the way; Pikmin 2 is nearing completion as well. It will be fun to play 2-player - Hopefully you'll be able to battle each other as well as cooperate. I don't know about Wario World though... It didn't look all that enthralling in the previews. Still too early to tell on F-Zero and nothing has been said about Mario Kart 128 other than that it's in production. |

halo for xbox, gta for ps2? how dare you compare that shit to zelda :) I dont wanna discuss or get into arguments over those games so there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

They aren't comparable to Zelda in terms of quality silly, just in reason for getting said consoles. Personally, right now Gamecube is my favorite system.. I can see it changing to Xbox in the upcoming months but right now it's only Nintendo bed sheets and pillow covers for me! Is there an unofficial Gamecube magazine? Nintendo Power is all eye-candy and no substance; It's like it was written for Playstation owners. The only magazines I trust are PC-Gamer, XBN, and Inches*. They fuse professional journalism with that witty self-depreciating humor that every pastey 19 year old living with his mom can relate to.. *no |

"I'll be shocked if I'm not playing this game tomorrow" hehe... lucky you :-) well i hope it all works out for you... your mom sounds awesome. It felt too easy? Well isn't mother's day coming up one of these days? ;-) I bet she expects something really special from you now :-p "I hate sun and beaches, so why the fuck would I want to run around on sunny beaches in a game?" Exactly! I also miss all the classic enemies... goombas, koopa troopas... all those guys. Basically i just want to play a three-dimensional remake of Super Mario World ;-) |

i don't think mario128 will be a proper sequel to sunshine though. It's supposed to be based on that gamecube demo with a 128 mario's running around... but wasn't pikmin also based on that demo? :-s... *confused* But just from what i've heard, i don't think it'll be a "real" mario adventure. Pikmin i love that game :-D (still haven't completed it due to mario sunshine, but i'll get back to it soon). It's like a strategy-game, only fun. I can't wait for the sequel, even if it'll only be more of the same. Warioworld... i still don't understand why nintendo wants to put so much energy and promotion into Wario? Wario sucks :-p They go through all the work of creating lots of 3d-platform levels... and then they make wario star in it... ridiculous :-p With a few adjustments, it could have just been a new mario-adventure which would probably sell twice as much! The whole concept of Wario is so cheesy... i don't like it at all. (and didn't they even invent wario's brother called waluigi for the tennis-game... sweet jesus... "waluigi"! It sounds like a disease). Mario Kart will not have online-compatibility. And miyamoto has said it will feature some ideas "that no one has thought about before"... so let's hope for the best on that one then. I gave up completely on buying videogame-magazines and music-magazines... ever since i have internet-acces. It's a waste of money in my eyes. Right now i'm in the proces of throwing away all my old music-magazines... (there are hundreds of 'em...) if i think about all the music i could have bought instead of just reading about it... sigh... |

nintendo power does suck and there are no nintendo only magazines aside from that in the states at least (maybe in japan or something)...right now im in the forest temple type place, im probablt half way through that area and got the boomerang. |

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well I went to Walmart to get it, but of course they were out. I'll be waiting till next week, though my cousin will be over tomorrow with so I'll have all day with it anyway. Fuck this shit, I hope everyone dies. I want MY Zelda, not his. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

at least you can save your progress on the memory card but yeah it sucks to play other people's games when you dont have it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh my heart bleeds... poor poor ophecks, you have to wait all the way until next week to play zelda? Bah! Stop whining you spoilt brat! :-p All us europeans still have to wait more than a month. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's right, we're still bloody waiting for our (PAL) zelda! allthough it's great to hear that it's claiming to be all that people expect(quotingcabbog's "The opening sequence alone gave me enough adrenaline to keep me awake for a month")!!!, metriod prime is due out here in australia in about 4 days, so I'm hoping that will keep me occupied till waker arrives, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we have to wait 5 fucking weeks! good job i've got metroid prime to keep me occupied :) although i'm giving it a break for the mo cos i keep getting killed in the Phazon Mines! Are there any save points there cos i cant find them. |

Yeah, I'm not too clear on that either. I heard that Pikmin 2 will be using the same engine as Mario 128... I haven't seen a proper preview yet though so I don't have anything to speculate over. I love Wario! The bad apple of the Nintendo tree.. The ultimate anti-hero! Waahahahaa! Waluigi IS a bit of a stretch though.. I just hope the game doesn't turn out to be a mediocre pile of trash. We're also going to be treated to a second helping of Star Fox - I hear it's in the vein of the traditional Star Fox shooters of the past.. It's got a hell of a legacy to live up to. |

Jay Worrrth... On my carpet... On my feet... He comes out in the heat. So did your pussy cousin deliver? What'd you think? |

I want Luigi back in the new Mario...He was a cool guy, but I guess they feel they are too similar. They should give them both different abilities. :| |

He was a pain in the ass in Mario 2. I could never land a jump with him because those stupid feet would always throw me off. p.s. Zelda : The Wind Waker is the best game ever. Cabbog gives it 6 out of 5 deku leaves. Right now, http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/bestworst.asp has it averaged as the 2nd highest ranking game of all time - right behind Zelda : Ocarina of Time and right in front of Metroid Prime. |

yes, we're getting lots of windwaker-reviews all over the internet now :-) It's getting me very excited! There seems to be alot of complaining about all the sailing going on in the game... but i don't know... i have a feeling i'm gonna like those parts. Some reviewers say it becomes very boring to just sail and do nothing else for several minutes... but i think it'll give you the feeling of really traveling a long distance. Mario sunshine-update: i'm at the final battle with bowser... but i keep falling down. So i gave up for the moment and i'm searching for some of those hidden shines (so far i've got 92). I've actually completed that hidden course where you have to sail over a toxic river on a leaf and collect 8 coins! (first you have to take yoshi and jump from boat to boat until you reach the island with the green pipe that is blocked with the yellow "stuff"). That was probably the scariest thing i ever had to do in a videogame! The controller nearly slipped from my hands because my palms were so sweaty :-p |
