Since this game is due out this weekend in most major regions, I thought I would see who plans to buy it?
Who is actually new to this game?
Is anyone getting a 3DS for OoT?
Do you feel this is the greatest game ever made?
How do you like the new 3D aspect?
How does it hold up 13 years later?
What are your overall thoughts on OoT?
Well, for me personally, I have not played it all the way thru since it was originally released in 98. At that time, I did think it was one of the best games I had ever played, and was for sure one of my top 5 greatest titles ever. I also remember Metal Gear Solid came out that year, and I actually gave that game a slightly higher rating at the time, as it was an entire "NEW" experiance for me personally.
Zelda games are always awesome, but they all have the same basic game play format(village, dungeon, new item, new village, next dungeon, new item, ect). I had never played a Metal Gear title at that time, and I was just blown away by that whole game. Zelda OoT was a spectacular game, but it just felt like I had done it all before, due to the way all Zelda games are made. So at that time, I gave MGS the upper hand.
Now let's move forward to 2011, and I think I have completed every Zelda game exept MM, which I found to be maybe the greatest Zelda title to this point, but I never finished it, so I can't say for sure. It totaly took the zelda formula, and turned it upside down, and made an entirely new gaming experiance out of it. The whole time aspect of the gameplay made it great, but also made it tedious at times, and I'm guessing that is why I never finished it.
I would love to see MM get this kind of reboot, but I doubt it will ever happen. So if I ever want to complete that game, I'll have to hope N64 emulation steps up on the Pandora, or I'll have to wait for the Pandora 2 I guess! :lol:
So I'm very much looking forward to getting OoT again tommorow, and to see how it holds up after all this time. Plus, I love playing games in 3D on my 3DS(I know some don't use it to often). I never turn it off unless my son wants to watch me play. I think the effects just make every game look awesome, I just love it!
