Never played L.O.R.D, but I was a devout follower of Realms of Despair. I actually tried playing RoD again recently, but it just wasn't the same lol. Same small hardcore players, but the feel changes after playing some MMO's like everquest and WoW.

As for the difference in view point compared to age, I think there is some merit, though not really age. More like the Nintendo generation is clashing with the Playstation generation (note, I don't mean nintendo fans and ps fans, just those people who grew up playing games in Nintendo's dominant years, compared to those growing up playing games in the Sony years). I think its hard for some of these newer gamers to understand having fun when the graphics were so bad (and in some cases such as MUD's, no graphics at all). Hell, if I started my online gaming playing WoW, I doubt I'd take a second glance at a MUD...

edit:  I guess we should include the Atari generation too, since they beat out everyone else on playing games that need more than a little imagination to figure out what those 8 bit coloured globs actually represented.  Anyone here play the popcorn game on atari?  Oh god, now there was a pointless game that I spent wayyyy to much time playing.


Agree, the only problem I have is that the PS generation doesn't allow us nintendo fans to enjoy the nintendo games without they screaming you ruin for us real gamers etc...

Hoping for 500k as a minimum...


Why?


 Because good sales of the game may lead to more? Have you PLAYED this game? Just amazing what they have done with it. The part with the rat and the key had me ROFL because it actually took me a bit to figure it out. I was on my lunch break all alone but still managed to be embarassed that it took me 4 to 5 minutes to figure it out lol. Its like a mix of LTTP and Wind Waker man, loving this game to death. And it looks fantastic for DS. Its the only DS game I have that I noticed uses 3d on both the screens at the same time also. I always wondered if that was possible because none of my games seem to do it. I hope this game does well everywhere so we get more.

I got me a Zelda PH!! Well have to wait for a week or so before it gets here....bummer...still haven't got my harvest moon wii version in which I've ordered 2 weeks ago :(

I'm also looking forward to the sales of Zelda PH. Would be odd to see the game outselling TP in the very first week :D
DS games outsold home console games most of the time these days so it's not really "odd" if you ask me.
Just compare the user base of Wii and user base of DS/DS Lite

 


I'm pretty sure Zelda PH will outsell Zelda TP in Japan for that reason. Now it may or may not become a million seller. I would edge on the side that it does, but not by a lot because the series isn't as popular as it once used to be, and I don't this it was ever quite as popular as in the US.

Those of us who remember hanging out on BBS systems playing LORD and arguing over whether the SNES was better than the Genesis never really considered image to be that important when it came to gaming; on the other hand there are a lot of people who would have never admited to playing videogames until the Playstation or PS2 came along.


Eh. I would never do that.

Usurper was CLEARLY better than LORD.

1200 baud FTW!!!


I prefered Usurper to LORD myself. Perhaps it's because I was into Usurper for a while before LORD came out, and I had been through several revisions of Usurper.
