Revolutionary for its time, now only okay.

Good replay value with all that lack of sequence in the Dark World, but still some questionable decisions. I'd need to replay it to remember them, though.

Really floaty. Zero Mission's better in every respect but the last leg of the game, ie the hunt for all the items after you get power bombs. Shit's so artificially gated.

all video games are cool and stuff but you have to realize that they are bad for your mental health.

You are retarded. OoT is an influence on Dark souls
>>
>>320132257
If it's so bad then why don't you stop playing it?
>>
>>320128752
Basically, because "good" as in 'revolutionary as fuck' is not "good" as 'able to withstand the test of time'. I understand why OoT was so highly praised in its time. It's expansive, it's cute, homely, but grand in all the right places. But it's not very substancial. Empty Hyrule field, some dungeons are just eh, minigames get shitty real fast, especially the fucking fishing, and the story is a bit too archetypical for itsown good, it introduces characters in a storybook way, we do not get them at all, they are not one-note, more like zero-note. The game is still cool and all, but it's 7/10, no more. Also, in my opinion no Zelda beats the OG, and that one I haven't played till a year ago, so no nostalgia.
>>
>>320132312
I paid money for it and I like completing games I started
>>
>>320131872
I really hope it's bait, if not the read up on ocarina and how it's camera techniques got borrowed to hundreds of other 3d games, then look at DaS and what impact it made on the actual industry and not on your and some other fanboys mind (wow it's nothing).
I like DaS way more than OoT but you are just spreading misinformation now.

X-2 is better than X. Xis probably the worst mainstream one (haven't played LR yet, 13 was a bit better than X, like half a point). Tidus a faggot, they should have used the battle system for a better game, sphere grid is for no-lifers and min-maxing faggots. The fact that everybody praises this baffles me. X-2 is a solid 6.5/10.
>>
>>320132780
Why would you? It sounds fine. I wish I was like that, because this days for something to hold my attention to the end it's gotta be REALLY FUCKING good.
>>
>>320132398
Seinfeld effect, so many games have copied it that it robs the original of what made it special. Still have to give the game credit for being the first of its kind though.

Idk why everyone complains so much about Hyrule Field. It's supposed to be empty, it's just there to give the game its sense of scale. There is plenty of content in the rest of the areas
>>
>>320133149
Maybe it's that. But again, original LoZ is a straight 10/10 for me. I feel it much more than OoT. Also MM, although a hipstery choice, is a unique example of a metroidvania that works through time, not space. Yeah, credit where credit is due, I'm not an IGN faggot, 7 means extremely good. I just think that OoT had a lot of things that were good and new, and it has a nice identity, but the it lacked that little something that cannot be copied at all. I don't want to get all pissy and that last sentence sounds like an insult, but... OoT for me is an extremely cool benchmark that should be praised as an originator of it all, but not as the greatest example. So, it's not overrated until fanboys shove it into everyone's faces screaming "YOU PLEBS JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND!". And Hyrule Field, well, it's not that it's completely empty, it's just that it lacks significance. It might as well be a hallway, because other areas, like the desert, or the Gerudo mountains show the grandeur a lot better.
Sorry about tl;dr.

>>320128662
I love the Prime games, but after playing Super I can see why people think they were a step back. There was something more natural about how the game was laid out in super. I like how it made you think for yourself instead of just telling you where to go explicitly.
>>
>>320132505
A few months ago I asked on a Facebook video games group if there was a game more influential then OoT. They went insane claiming that Dark Souls and Gta ab even God of War had more impact on the industry. I wanted to see how /v/would react to that same stament.

For me, it's the magic system that I really can't stand. Cast one spell, spend the rest of the day literally throwing rocks. BG doesn't even let you "cheat" by resting all the time, because you're pretty likely to get attacked if you try to rest anywhere but an inn.

Name another game that was praised so highly on release and kept people talking about it so much

/v/ has at least 5 undertale threads a day, that's how much impact it has had.

Either you love it or you're a bitter console-kek who wants to shitpost and pretend it isn't a hallmark of artistic excellence.

Undertale actually transcends the medium - a true masterpiece.

The game was a masterpiece when it came out and is still a masterpiece to this day.

Ocarina Of Time is what happens when you value gameplay over everything, an excellent game that will remain excellent forever.

Ocarina of Time is one of the most important games of all time. It paved the way for all 3D action games that came after it. You can still see OoT DNA in modern 3D melee weapon games.

Anyone who says that OoT is over rated instantly is saying they know nothing about gaming history.
