If 3D Dot Game Heroes was an actual Zelda game...

Yeah but I find that to be a problem. Why should all games aimed to old school gamers like myself be pummeled?

In the case of NSMBWii, yeah it doesn't do much new, but it was easily one of the best games released last year because that kept it simple and they kept if fun, which is why I loved NES Zelda and SNES Zelda and why I love 3DDGH.

I still however feel that 3DDGH got beaten down a bit too hard. 20% of it's scores are below 80, with majority of those being 60's and (1) 50. Those reviewers blast it for being like Zelda, which to me is a horrible reason to make a game look bad, especially when that very thing is what the game set out to do!

 

I just don't understand reviewers these days, which is why I predicted it to get a 78, which in all honestly I thought was a bit high to expect.

Well insofar as that goes I don't know. I haven't been able to play 3DDGH yet, though I hope to soon.

As do I. The game is sitting at 90k WW which makes me a very very sad old gamer and I would like to see it at 90,001.

 

From what I have seen so far I think Silicon Studios will give up on game development and stick to middleware engines.

 

If that happens though I will still be happy because they gave me exactly what I wanted for 15+ years and exactly what Nintendo wouldn't give me for 15+ years.

 

Plus you know what, you also have to take into account that it was a budget release, which these days grants a game some extra points on the review score. Make me wonder if it would be a 60 Meta if it was $60, which in all honestly the game is worth $60 easy. I am going to try and finish it off now and although I will still need another 2 playthroughs to get a platinum, my first playthrough will end up ~30 hours.

Not many $60 games give you that these days let alone a $40 game.
