What I am saying is this: the game starts really bad. Do you have anything meaningful to contribute or just some mild sarcasm? |
I'm not being sarcastic, and I'm not here to argue with you. You said you're considering stopping right now, and I'm encouraging you to do so. Just scoop that shit. Totally serious.

No it wasn't. ALBW does not have "bad story telling." A 15 minute intro is not "losing focus on gaming," and if that's too much for you, that's an issue of your lack of an attention span, not the game's quality of story telling. The ten minute difference in intro time does literally nothing to change the quality of story telling in both games. They are both cookie-cutter video game intros.

then i guess we disagree on what is acceptable story telling and tone setting.
Alttp: you are alone, your uncle died, you are in a world full of enemies, you have to fight your way through a castle.
albw: some kid tells you you are late for work.

In the grand scheme of things, it so very minor. The Legend of Zelda is about the quest, exploring the world and solving the dungeons and A Link Between Worlds really delivers on that front. Tough it up, it's more than worth it.
Signature goes here!

Play Metroid Prime 2 if you think ALTTP has a dangerous world filled with enemies.
Lol, different games different stories. Should have replayed ALttP instead if you wanted an ALttP.

It is not minor imo, as the tone is set very differently. One has a supportive, cheerful community that you can fall back on, even though you are a more unreliable part of the community. There is plenty of soldiers around and they even train and keep the castle nice and tidy.
In the other one you are alone.

My point is that in all Zelda games the story is a distraction at best, it's a minor part of the Zelda package. The dungeons are solid, the wall merging mechanic makes for fun exploring, there's enemies aplenty and the collectables are actually useful. ALBW is a great Zelda game because of those things, you disliking the story intro shouldn't affect that.

I'm tempted to give you the ending of the game just to fuck with you for wasting my time with that pointless complaint. Play the game and quit yer whining!
