Holy smokes, this review is epic!
Thanks for the in-depth look at the game, Chris. Your enthusiasm and knowledge has me kind of excited to play it, though I feel obligated to actually tackle the first two games before I bother picking this one up.
Yeah, his collection is disgusting. I remember seeing it a few years back and thought for a split second that it wasn't worth collecting games any more because I could never have a collection as good as his.
Then I realized that it wasn't that important and kept on trucking.
After having a chance to play the demo sent by Hudson, I'm extremely excited to play the final product. There's no guarantee that things will keep going as well as they did in the demo, but there's no question that it was an enticing tease to the final product.
Check it out again now, it should be working.
Not a problem. Basically here are your steps:
1) Log into the site
2) In the top bar underneath the menu it should say "Welcome Back, [USER] | My Profile | My Games | Sign Out"
3) Click "My Games"
4) Upon arriving at the "My Games" page, you'll see in the top right corner, above the words "My Game Collection", there are three links. "Add Games | Upload Plain Text File | Set Colors"
5) Clicking on Add Games will allow you to enter game information up-to-three at a time.
6) Clicking on Upload Plain Text File will allow you to take a plain text file, new line delimited, and upload it to the site and have it add to the selected lists.
7) Set Colors allows you to choose the box colors for each system on your Game Collection Home Page.
Just in case you still can't find the links, here they are:
"My Games" | "Add Games" | "Upload Plain Text" | "Set Colors"
Should be working again now. I also made it so that blank entries don't get added when uploading the file.
I'm not entirely surprised to see that Majora's Mask won that title. There seems to be a huge crowd who really loves the game, and support it very, very strongly.
Me personally? I enjoyed the game greatly, and as a follow-up to Ocarina of Time it's nearly perfect. It was somewhat similar, while being very different, which was great coming off of OoT. The three day cycle was always looming, but I felt it posed a unique challenge to accomplish as much as possible with the time you were allotted.
This meant avoiding dungeons until the three day cycle was fresh, and taking your time enjoying the in-game characters and side quests. As a big side quester, I truly enjoyed this aspect, though the removal of the ability to save anywhere was rough trade-off.
I think it's unquestionably better than Wind Waker, but if I were to put it head-to-head with Twilight Princess, it's nowhere near as enjoyable.
I will agree with one thing, I'm glad it beat Brawl, though I still have no idea how that beat Melee. What a shame.
I might grab that Jason Rohrer DSiWare game, seems kind of interesting.
The multiplayer really swayed me pretty strongly. It's so much better than the single player, it's nearly unbelievable. After spending a few hours playing online, it was clear that the experience, though similar to Call of Duty, differed enough to remain interesting. Given that, the multiplayer mode basically earned all of the stars this game was awarded.
My initial experience with the single player mode really bothered me, mostly because it was so much worse than the original title's single player mode. It completely misses the mark of bringing back the feeling of classic FPS games, and in its attempt to marry that experience to a modern shooter, it ends up a far worse monstrosity than either would be alone.
Alright, grey and white are now available. Let me know if any other colors would be nice.
