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

I have stated that I think it would have average ~85 on Meta if it was a Zelda title.

Yes, my issue is that the game is being bashed for being exactly what it set out to be.

**yeah maybe, I'm sure it would be above what 3DDGH is at right now

**is it really that strange? there haven't been many parodies in the gaming world, most "copies" are viewed as ripoffs and i think that's why it's being bashed

i think it's a pretty interesting game though, it's too bad that it resembled an old, unevolved game too much for it's own good (i was curious so a watch a few vids), even if it's a nice parody, it might not have been a great game. the gameplay i saw didn't really scream "85-95" meta

Do you feel that is right though? Sometimes a parody and/or homage is what is needed and if it arises it shouldn't just be bashed to all hell. The game is something that many people like myself have been wanting for so long and 80% of the reviews reflect this. Unfortunately we have 20% butt hurt reviewers who instead opt to give it 50-60 because it is exactly what it is supposed to be.

 

Also, even though it is "unevolved", it shows just how great that style of gaming was. It is still fun, it is still rewarding, and most of all it is still worth all $40 of your hard earned dollars, especially since it gives you more than most $50-60 games do these days.

 

Also think about it, should they bash every single game that is based on the old old school PC FPS titles? It seems like they don't. They just ignore the fact that these games have been done over and over and over again.

CoD: Black Ops will release this year and most likely average 90+ on Meta, but other than some dynamic set pieces, what has it added since say, CoD and CoD2 in terms of the run and gun style gameplay?

 

I don't remember PS2 JRPGs being bashed because they were so similar to PS1 JRPGs.
