I suggest you reread the post because I'm not talking about your opinion in the post I'm addressing other aspects, yes any 3D Zelda could be released back then because no other game would be like it and the technical aspects would still be unmatched. OOT Remaster got 94% and? It's like you can't even grasp context and have been put on tilt because OOT is not seen as the be all by everyone anymore because if you read things properly you'd see I said it's a great game it's just elevated by the technical achievements of Nintendo at the time, ironically this metacritic of the remaster backs my stance on releasing any 3D Zelda game back then because that is the consistent range of all 3D games. The comparisons between ALTTP and OOT are justified because we're comparing the approach and structures of the game, the differences you listed are technical aspects of going into 3D which I've been pointing out in my posts you've literally just proven my point here. ALTTP added a structure to the Zelda games that the player followed as opposed to just free roaming, this opened up a design for story driven games inside the free wondering adventure, this is what ALTTP added alongside many concepts used in the games after. Get off your high horse mate because it's clear you don't even understand the argument you've been trying to argue against, your very own reply admits I'm right in that technical aspects were the main differences for OOT and the impact it caused, this backs what I'm saying as all the 3D Zelda games after would have had the same impact as they have numourous technical aspects that no other game at the time would have had as well as being great game. So yes I stand by it and if that makes you cry to fricking bad swallow it. |
Oh, I read all right.Its you that seems to be unwilling to even consider the other side of the coin, or actually acknoledge anything I said.First of all saying with absolute garantee that a fictional game would have done as good as OOT is wrong by nature, its a fact as you like so well to say, simply because that scenario dosent exist.Second, while any Zelda game would have done great anyway, as the track record by the franchise implies, its wouldnt have been regarded as high as OOT, assuming that the game was worse.Its a simple thing.If a game score 9, and the other scores 10, the game that scores higher will have a a higher following.
And what you keep refering as technical aspects is also wrong.I have so far thought that these technical aspects are actually the coding of the game, how the game runs and all those things, but what you are actually referencing is the designs and overall decisions made to the game.OOT had a different pacing as ALTTP did.Once it opened up, ALTTP let you go to any dungeon to any order, and OOT had a more linear path to it.Combat is completely different, story is more fleshed out( and carachters have more a role in it, othern than just Link), and so on, as I have already said.
Look, as I read that last paragraph and you seem to be somehow insulted by what I said, be it because what Im saying its true and you cant find a decent reply to it or because you dont like me(or both of them, could also be the case), and since you cant even accept the basics of what Im trying to say(which is what discussion is all about), lets leave it at we agree to disagree.When someone gets so low as to start insulting someone to make a point is the moment it is not worth discussing the subject with him anymore.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
