Davepretendo's review was better than Egoraptor's.

his whole argument was "this type of game is bad because it's a type of game I'm not good at"

he thinks his problems are objective and that everyone experiences them the way he does, when really he just has some kind of spatial shortcoming in 3D environments. He doesn't seem to have object permanence or realize that things continue to exist when they go off-camera.

Just another e-celeb that got a little bit popular and let it go to his head.

This ability to play is about as good as his animation skills. BAD. We've seen his videos, he does some really dumb shit, worse than we seen demo players do when the game is being advertized.

All he's got is, oh look at my wacky humor, and that's it. He compeletly biased aganist 3D zelda while giving the 2d a free run no matter it's problems.

Bottom line is he's just a horrible player and not someone you should ever trust any review from.

I think it's fair to say OoT is "fine." It was revolutionary at the time it was released, but then again so was sliced bread. With both of those things technology has shot miles ahead, so what once was concidered "the best that has ever been" has been understandably surpassed. It doesn't make it a less important or more importantly ENJOYABLE game, but what it does make it is a product of it's time which has since past.

People that that lavish it with praise should probably calm down and remember that 1996 was 20 years ago and they're no longer 10, and people that get overly upset with them for putting it on too high of a pedestal might do well to remember that there was a time before it and it 100% shocked the world and changed gaming dramatically when it was released.

The only reasonable reason for hating OoT I've ever heard a person give is that it's not enough like Zelda 1. Which is fair, because they are extremely different games, and if you want the Zelda 1 experience from OoT you just aren't going to get it. But OoT is a damn good adventure game on its own merits.

Not being able to see the spike traps in rooms that have them. In fact the first room you encounter them in navi warns you of the sound and tells you to check the corners.

All of the waiting, most enemies have ways around blocking(nuts, hammer, din's fire you name it though at a certain point it does become more of the issue of is it even worth pausing the game to equip said item) and even then why is it a bad thing that enemies have ways to defend? He's gone on record praising the souls games in which a lot of enemies shield themselves. So that's completely hypocritical.

And what's with this disconnect he talks about with the z-targeting system? I've never once gotten myself lost inside a singular room just because I decided I needed to pay attention to enemies. This one is completely on a person to person basis and it leads me to believe Arin got lost in the transition to 3D in general.

What else do you need Arin? I could probably muster up more but I haven't watched your video since it came out.

I forgot about the spike trap room bit. Doesn't Navi specifically stop the player before they enter that room and tell them there are going to be traps to watch out for? I guess he doesn't fucking read?
>>
>>337878395
Nah, I legitimately feel that OoT's design has yet to be surpassed. The linear yet non-linear progression, the complex and multifaceted dungeons, the well presented story with some real coming of age themes, the way the game hits a perfect balance between old-school "cryptic" design and new-school handholdy design, the rewarding sidequests, etc.
>>
>>337878727
You can crouch stab stalfos through their shield so I usually just do that instead. IDK about using items against them cuz I can kill them quickly with no resources.
Also, there's a glitch where crouch stab does the same damage as the last attack you did. So if you do a jump slash then run up and crouch stab, all the crouch stabs will do the same damage as the jump slash and kill it in 1/2 hits.
>>
>>337878276
Doesn't he outsource his animation? I heard he only does the extremes.
>>
>>337878772
Yes, that's literally what happens. Also in his current gamegrumps playthrough he goes "god damnit navi i know!" and immediately gets hit by one and says "HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT'S THERE"

That isn't a glitch, that's just how crouchstabs work for some reason

>>
>>337878896
The only way you could argue it "aged" is with the frame rate, which OoT 3D corrected.
>>
>>337878921
No. He pointed out legitimate faults with the game. Defend Hyrule Field. Just try.
>>
>>337878845
I agree with most of this, especially the dungeons. Ever since WW, dungeons have been dumbed down so much. I thought OoT and MM did a great job and bringing the complex dungeons of aLttP to 3D.

The thing is though that people can't appreciate complex dungeons because it gets them frustrated. Great Bay Temple in MM is fucking amazing because it has a central gimmick that affects the whole temple and makes traversing through it so complex but people hate it because it confuses them. A dungeon should feel like a labyrinth. It should test your puzzle knowledge. And when it's complex, solving it makes it feel so much more rewarding.

The overall design is better then most adventure games today. It's pretty solid.

>It was revolutionary at the time it was released

It was, but that was always the least important and impressive part about it.

>With both of those things technology has shot miles ahead, so what once was considered "the best that has ever been" has been understandably surpassed.

This is largely irrelevant and no it hasn't. It was always miles ahead of everything, not because of technology, but because of design and artistry, at which it exemplified things few other games have even attempted.

>changed gaming dramatically when it was released.
Like I said, the ways in which it influenced other games are vastly overrated. It's the aspects of it which have barely influenced anything outside of its own series that make it truly great.

He and most of the other animators who used to make youtube vids have explained why they don't really anymore, and/or have patreons now to make their money.

Jewtube monetizes based on views, period. Meaning that a short 1 minute video that took 20 hours to animate and voice will always get less money than ten 10-minute vidya segments that took 20 hours to shoot and cut.

>>337880370
Not really. Both ALttP and OoT use the same ass-tight formula, so it honestly boils down to personal preference between 2D and 3D Zelda.

I noticed that he did not once mention Majora's Mask.

Probably because MM fixed everything that was slightly off with OoT and became the perfect 3D Zelda game that even he couldn't possibly find anything to bitch about.
>>
>>337880226
That's because Mario fans are people who actually like Mario games, and despite the 2D/3D split, their platforming elements mean the same kinds of people enjoy both.

For Zelda, it's a fractured and divided fanbase, with stunted manchildren decrying the 3D games as ruining Zelda, and retarded normies who have likely never beaten a 2D Zelda and don't like them because they're hard.

Those two groups are the most vocal, drowning out the rational Zelda fans who can appreciate 2D and 3D separately.

>>337880806
It's purpose beyond just being a central hub was to instill a sense of adventure. Being a wide open area where you can see far off in every direction around you works for that. The music too. It actually conveys this feeling very effectively, especially considering the first time you see it is after leaving Kokiri Forest.

I do think it needed a lot more enemies though, especially in the adult world. It's ridiculous that Hyrule Field is actually more dangerous during the childhood period.

I figured they put it in because it was the first 3D Zelda and they wanted to "wow" people with a big environment you could ride through so everyone can just be amazed at the size of it.

It feels like a really outdated thing, something that would have been cool back then but has been completely and utterly outdone that now we can all just see it for the empty and boring field it is.

No. You're everything that is wrong with modern game design. If you have an overworld, you make it lively and worth exploring. Like in ALttP. Somewhere along the path, people forgot what made games good.

like 20 years is even modern anyway.

The developers thought it would be cool to have you be able to ride a horse in a big open environment. It hadnt been done before.

They're right. it was cool. People still remember it to this day. It's not "timeless" and its aged, but it did its job really fucking well.

You're ridiculous for getting angry about it.

No, I meant his video where he praised MMX to heaven for not holding your hand.

But the thing is MMX is a very simple game and he gets angry and confused when he plays anything more complex, even with tutorials. So its like, if you don't want videogames to hold your hand, why can't you fucking figure anything out on your own?

He gets upset with MMX in general. He's garbage at it in the first place.

When he played wind waker (fuck even Shadow the edgehog) all i could see was him being shit at simple objectives because he couldnt pay attention, and even when he did he still couldnt do basic shit.

All he had to do was jump down to a door in the wind temple and it took him 30 fucking minutes to do this even with a walkthrough.
I dont know how anyone can be so shit at basics like this

Refuses to use his shield, then says the game forces him to wait every 5 seconds.

>>337885590
>Water Temple is legitimately a major stopping point for average gamers

Because there's always that one room they always miss, not because of the clams.

>It is needlessly complicated.

That's literally one of the most unacceptable things in gaming. The 3DS version is undeniably a better experience because of this.
>>
>>337885590
Casuals can't figure out how to GET THROUGH the Water Temple, which he used a guide to do (can't blame him, he's got a show to put on). Arin, however, could barely even fight the enemies. He died to a clam because he couldn't hit it with his hookshot at the right time and did not once in 10+ times of being attacked try to block the clam coming at him, often times taking 2+ seconds to reach him from where it was sitting. That's how he died.

Hes right about the hand holding.
After your first zelda game the adventure dissipates and you see the formula. You just go from point A to B. for no reason besides the game telling you to.


Play zelda 1 to see the difference. You just go when you're playing that game, it's a lot more freeing and you actually feel like your exploring on an adventure.

truely, but I still felt the smidge of the game guiding me and the story didn't feel like it naturally happened due to my actions.

I can't really think of a game to emulate this feeling well. Dragons dogma almost did it, I felt like I was exploring the land at my own pace setting up my own provisions before every journey and making sure to get there before dark.

It just felt so natural, testing herbs, talking to people, hearing the banter from pawns. I hope kids will get to experience that kind of adventure.

I don't want Zelda to turn into Skyrim or Dark Souls or whatever the flavor of the month RPG is big at the moment, but there are plenty of lessons Zelda could learn from them, mostly because Zelda has just become so tired and traditional that it seems stuck in the past compared to most modern games.

Dark Souls and Skyrim still manage to feel adventurous and have far more stuff in them than any recent Zelda, even if Dark Souls has a wildly inappropriate atmosphere for Zelda and Skyrim basically has nothing but the same one or two bandit hideouts to find.

It's not like Sonic where the games are so vastly different from each other that you can't possibly please everyone. 2D and 3D Zelda share a lot of fucking aspects, so I don't understand how anyone could possibly hate one and not like the other.

>>337883517
>He seems to be of the opinion that every game should be able to be played without any reading
This isn't necessarily a bad thing though.
I know it's not always possible with every single game, but the more naturally you can teach a player how to do something the better.

I would much rather be put in an environment where I'm encouraged to do something, figure it out, and go "oh shit. that's pretty neat", rather than reading a wall of text about how to do something.
>>
>>337883517
>people don't try things in games and see if other games do it

For me, I always test to see if I don't have to kill the guy that was my friend/lover turned. I think like only two games let me do that, but I test it for every game.

I also test for cancelling.
>>
>>337891869
It's good when it's possible, but not every game is going to be as simple as Mega Man X. Sometimes you have to be given a hint to know what you're supposed to be doing or how to perform a specific maneuver.

What Arin does is take a simple and respectable belief, that tutorials and explanations should to kept at a minimum, to the utmost extreme by believing ALL tutorials and explanations are inherently bad. That's why he's a dummy.
>>
>>337892217
I think the max should be

>press button to do thing
then
>smartly place enemies so the player learns the different ways button does thing
>trick the player into pressing button so they do special thing without even thinking about it and realize OH SHIT I CAN DO THING!

They don't have to do this of course, but it's pretty entertaining.
