Was Star Fox Adventures really that bad?
>>
THAT'S
>>
>>334560704
It turned me into a furry. I got cured, but I can't forgive that.
>>
>>334560704
it was just not a conventional "Starfox" game.

If Nintendo reskined the game and gave it another name people would have loved it.
>>
It's the blandest, emptiest, most unfinished Zelda clone I can think of. It actually made me appreciate Zelda games I hated before because they looked a lot better in comparison.

Skyward Sword?
>>
>>334561114
Even Skyward Sword is better than this.
>>
>>334561114

At least Skyward Sword had more than one sidequest and didn't make you feed Fi mushrooms that run away from you juuuuuuuust enough to be annoying
>>
>>334561065
Dat fur tech tho.
>>
>>334560704
Yes, because it wasn't a true star fox game

however, Command was far worse
>>
>>334560704
>A Zelda game that doesn't even look like a Zelda game.

Bet your ass it was.
>>
At least the sequel Assault got it right.
>>
>>334560704
Nah.
Its mediocre, but its alright
>>
>>334560704

Absolutely not. It's a great game. Not as GOAT as Zelda of course but still a great game in its own right. Autistic 64 fanboys gave this game way too much shit for what it was.
>>
>>334562002
It's a good game for what it was, but it's not a good star fox game.

it will always be the black sheep in the series because it lacks what makes star fox great. A focus on aerial combat.

It gave us Krystal.

So yes.
>>
>>334562181
timed levels, repetitive levels, shitty ship designs, shitty character designs, and meh controls

the game doesn't reward exploration or hit count like the rest of the series, it rewards speed.

Miyamoto ruined the IP.
Krystal didnt do shit.

>still a great game in its own right.

>Worse combat and enemy variety than a game from 1998
>Your sidekick is a dinosaur version of Steve Burnside
>No real puzzles, just increasingly convoluted barrel escort quests and shooting fireball panels with your fireball
>Abilities so context-sensitive that you can't melt ice with your fireball spell, you have to use your sidekick's fire for that.
>Relentless padding, you do so much mindless backtracking and you have to basically do the same temples on Dinosaur Planet twice
>Almost no secrets or sidequests. The most relevant sidequest gives you stuff like a sound test without any labels and a sepia filter.
>Even David Wise couldn't save the game, since the soundtrack is as uninspired as it gets

I don't even give a shit about Star Fox as a series. SFA is just a bad game.
>>
It's not entirely bad but... you know how many games have these really frustrating sections that are just not fun and make you want to stop playing? In Starfox Adventures those sections are pretty much most of the game.

It also commited one of the worst sins a game can commit: It didn't let us fight the character it built up as the villain.
>>
Krystal is cute

>>334562385
>the game doesn't reward exploration or hit count like the rest of the series, it rewards speed

so?

>timed levels

but you can get time extensions all over the map and clear any given area pretty easily

>repetitive levels

true

>shitty map designs

same as above

>shitty ship, character design

example?

>meh controls

everyone says this about games that make full use of the DS touch screen. It's quite nice once you get used to it

It's about as well made and memorable on its own merits as Quest 64. I'm not sure myself whether I mean that as a compliment nor an insult.

I'm still a furry, but only for Krystal. Please send help.

Better than any Zelda game released in the past 15 years
>>
>>334560704
Better Zelda game than Wind Waker.

I also like the Arwing's rough kind of grubby aesthetic in this one. Hits that retro futuristic vibe I like.

No, it's just not want people wanted

This game made me sell my NGC and I haven't bought a Nintendo console since.

>>334562849
The controls are not nice, it's plain shit. They should have included an option to use the d-pad like in Mario 64 DS

It dragged itself out too much, too often.
When I was just adventuring around and doing the one or two puzzles I didn't mind the pace.

When it tried to get me to go on a fetch quest for some bird bitch's three kids by playing a melody or something after I just freed her ass that was when I just wanted to give it the finger and go back to the Arwing to get off the planet.
Feeding Tricky to do simple shit was cute at first but after awhile I just have to question what that useless asshole is even doing on an important mission if he's not going to carry his weight. Just give Fox a shovel or whatever else tool he needs to circumvent this pampered piece of prince piss having to dig things up.

AND WHERE THE FUCK IS MY GUN?! Staff combo combatting Dinosaurs twice my size? Are you insane?! Samus doesn't have to deal with this bullshit and she's lost her whole armor. Fox should have something in his fully functional ship to sort shit out, just put a limit on the ammo or recharge rate and let me Indi these cold blooded assholes long range for fux sake. I don't have all day.
>>
Uhh, yes. It was complete and utter irredeemable shit. I don't understand how this is even a question.
