binary solo said: OK, point is it was originally on a console I never owned. Perhaps it was because all the major hype around it being the best game of all time and topping many "100 best games of all time" lists. So when my son got 3DS I was really really excited to finally play this greatest ever game to grace any video game platform ever. I gave the game a decent enough number of hours to impress me but there was nothing, nothing at all about it that I found engaging or entertaining. It wasn't bad, it was simply ordinary. My son loved it, so it was a worthwhile purchase, just no for me. Pokemon is the only Nintendo game that actually drew me in, odd because I can't for the life of me figure out why kept wanting to play it. Unfortunately for Nintendo they made the game (Diamond I think) impossible to have 2 game saves on one cartridge. So basically because my son had his own game going, all I could do is basically play the game for a short time but not actually have a game save of my own. Which means once I put it down I had no desire to pick it up again. Nintendo's own form of DRM, but this time it's GRM within the family, as opposed to preventing used game sales, weird. I've had my Pokemon experience, became weirdly addicted for a brief period, and now I'm over it. |
This is interesting. I remember when i bought it on release day back in 1998. The hype was unbelievable and there was something that just blew my mind about it back then. It was like nothing anyone had seen before. It would seem almost every third person action game/adventure game have borrowed something from it since, and going back to it recently with the 3DS version, i naturally got the same feeling you did.
Strangely enough, i still feel A Link to the Past still holds up amazingly well, and it still blows me away even to this day.
But OOT isn't alone in giving me this feeling when revisited. The same holds true for Final Fantasy 7. This vid perfectly illustrate my point:
I guess you just had to be there at the time.
