RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Primal - Nov. 21, 2011
Spirit Track was, as others have said, repetitive for me. :\ If future Zelda games are like it, I'll probably stick with my two best friends- Skyward Sword (we haven't met yet) and Phantom Hourglass.

First off, I'm getting both. Second off, no. I already have OoT on N64 and from the Wii store, so I'm only really getting it for more portability.
I too, already have it for the Gamecube.
I'm getting it mostly for the DS, and like you said, portability.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Hazel - Nov. 21, 2011
Several posts in our recent discussion have been too close to the border of belonging in the Zelda thread...
Really, though, portability isn't that huge to me for this particular game. I leave the house five times a month at the absolute most.

We shall move it then...
As much as I don't get out, I still like games on my DS more then on my Wii most of the time.
Don't know why, but I just do
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Hazel - Nov. 21, 2011
I prefer handheld so I can also watch television at the same time. I have yet to encounter a game that is really demanding of all of my attention - especially since I often have the sound off in handheld games.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Primal - Nov. 21, 2011
If there was a split-screen option for the Wii so that you could watch TV and play at the same time, I'd use it.
Then again, I might misinterpret something that Ryuuga says for something that I'm supposed to do in-game.
Also, I've spoiled too many of the games I've gotten/wanted by watching videos- Pokemon White, CoD MW3, and Spirit Tracks, to name a few.

just use the dual view/split screen/whatever it's called thing on your TV.

I often lay on my bed playing DS while watching TV and eating.
I keep the game sound low, unless I'm playing Elite Beat Agents :]
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Primal - Nov. 21, 2011
To be honest, I never knew it had one. :\

I cannot even imagine the migraines...
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Shabalabadoo - Nov. 21, 2011
Well he wanted a split screen! I think that'd be the only way to do it when playing a Wii.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Hazel - Nov. 21, 2011
Buying another television would be cheaper than the ramifications of trying to do that, even on a huge tv screen.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Nano - Nov. 21, 2011
Holy...
I need to do that
I wanna watch TV and post at the same time!
Even more tonight with the American Music Awards Show on...

Can't you just look at one half and not the other? What's the difference between playing split-screen multiplayer games, having two TV's, or just splitting the TV screen?
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Hazel - Nov. 21, 2011
Splitting the TV screen, at least the last time I did it, smushed the images to the point of unplayability and the tv show to Caricature-esque levels of distortion.

you ventutre to a dungeon
beat the dungeon
travel again to find another dungeon
after beatring them you figure out you need to do more
you do all them
you beat the game
really when you look at it the zelda games are all travel and dungeon beating meaning that not only spirit tracks was repetitave but all others as well.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Hazel - Nov. 25, 2011
Spirit Tracks' travel mechanism is not one most people liked, though. I personally found it charming, but not something I would really opt to play through again - at least not for a very long time, anyway.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - NoodooSoup - Nov. 26, 2011
Or the fact that you had to re-visit the Spirit Tower like 5 times ._. Controlling Zelda while controlling yourself isn't what you'd call fun, to be honest. Everything else was fun, though
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Shabalabadoo - Nov. 26, 2011
What I didn't like was that for every dungeon (as far that I could bare playing it), you have to go to the Spirit Tower, then find some idiot who just teaches you a song by doing boring things to find them, then go to the dungeons that were very empty in terms of content. Then repeat all of that.
The song in the overworld on the train is my favourite Zelda song ever though.

Isn't a part of that in the Zelda 25th Anniversary Medley included in the CD? I remember something from Spirit Tracks was.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Hazel - Nov. 26, 2011
I thought the songs were pretty neat, actually.
In general, though, they would've done better to just stick to the traditional adventuring format of Zelda "2D" games, rather than coming up with some new travel gimmick for both titles.

I don't know what the word is for this, but having unique ways of transportation is something that is in and will be in all Zelda games; it's just part of Zelda now. I personally like it.
RE: Gaming Random Thoughts - Hazel - Nov. 26, 2011
I have been playing Zelda since before you were alive! I do not have to be happy about your newfangled shenanigans! And TP didn't have anything in particular unless you count dog form, but that was less-used than Epona after you got her.
But really, in WindWaker, it was just a nuisance - in Phantom Hourglass it was still annoying, but somewhat okay. In Spirit Tracks, they hyperemphasized it, and the rest of the game suffered greatly for the huge amount of programming hours that were spent on insipid train mechanics. Having to constantly restart if you misjudged the evil trains' path by so much as a second was not a good idea.
