^please do state a reason.


I've yet to hear one from you...


Firstly I love Zelda but Shadow of the Colussus and Ico was truly something special, The quality of zelda has not been consistent and for that reason recently the Ico series has overtaken Zelda


What's inconsistent about the quality of Zelda, and what specifically makes the Ico games greater than Zelda?

SotC vs TP?

I think most people here have played both. My opinion no.
SotC was a fantastic game to be sure, but it had it's faults. Removing the good points of both SotC had more bad points that TP. Heres the differences

SotC blew. The controls trained you. They are unintuitive.
SotC overworld while gorgeous was unesasary. The big points of the game were the big bosses. SotC could have been imrpoved by using no hub, but instead just used a port to area. Then you go through an area to the arena.

TP isn't as free roaming as WW or OoT.
The hub lands while dull, aren't a waste of time like it was in SotC. TP made use of the large areas by including plains battles. SotC just had waste of space.

WW overworld. It was mostly bland, but you could walk away. You also gained the ability to quick travel down the road.

I haven't played Ico so I won't compare it to WW.

What SotC does better. Atmosphere. That group does a ancient world setting really well.

This thread is pure silliness, but what I bolded is so wrong that you should unplay Shadow of the Colossus :)

How has the quality of the Zelda games not been consistent? Besides selling over 5 million most of the times and getting more than 90% ratings by critics, what else have they done wrong?

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Team Ico is a development group.  Zelda is a game series.  Team Ico happens to do "artsy" adventure games, so they are themed the way Bioware does RPGs.  Team Ico stuff doesn't even all have the same world, nor does it have a common name.

Yes they are.  In fact all three games appear to stem from one common overall storyline and not just be related by the fact that they are all in the same geographic area.

 

In general, most people would say Zelda is better

For me personally, I like Team Ico more.

You my friend are a wise person. Torillian Gaming Historian!

Let me address this!

First of all when I said that the quality had been declining I was merely speaking from my own personal experience, there is no need to mention the sales. Great sales do not equal great game, my personal taste differs that of the critics. No need to hate me, we all have different gaming standards and taste, sadly Zelda failed to meet that high standard

Sony Leader out!
