Out of curiosity, why haven't you finished any 3D Zelda game, Leo?

I get tired of them very, very quickly. I just don't find them as much fun. I also used to prefer Sci-Fi games over fantasy, so I preferred Metroid over Zelda games. Something happens in the translation from 2D to 3D for me. It's hard to put into words but when you are dealing with two dimensions, there's just less space to fill and the game is almost a no-nonsense kind of experience; there's less to explore so there's more "game" to play. When you go to 3D, there's so much more world to "fill" there seems to me to be less to do, more travel, more barren expanse... dunno. Hard to describe.

I guess I feel the opposite.  I love getting lost in the Zelda world, exploring every nook and cranny, finding those well hidden secrets.

I do like the idea of the new one, if it is indeed a throw-back to the original. I loved the sense of exploration and discovery of the first game, but the more and more story that was added, the more it felt like you were pushed along rather than being given the freedom to discover things. It feels more like a slog to me then. One game, I feel like I am in control, the others I feel like I am being sent on a predetermined path.

Twilight Princess certainly was more barren than it should have been. Same with Wind Waker. Large areas to explore, but little to do in them. Hopefully, the new Zelda will fix that issue.

Updated with Bioshock Burial At Sea.....what an expansion pak and a great way to cap off a great franchise. These two episodes could have been a standalone game really. I liked Burial At Sea more than Infinite itself.

Finally got around to finishing the original Legend of Zelda this morning. That game is still really good. That also makes this the third Zelda game I've beaten this year. Next will either be a Link to the Past or Wind Waker HD.

I need to play that again soon.  Remember when Nintendo gave you an awesome map with the game?  Times sure have changed.

I got a map for Link to the Past. I didn't have one for Zelda or Zelda II.

I purchased all three of them off of Ebay. When I was younger we used to always rent Zelda and Zelda II.

Updated my log.  I beat a second game Grinning  Here's my blurb

;margin-bottom:.5em;">Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (WiiU) Finished 23/06/14

;margin-bottom:.5em;">Yay, I beat a game!  This is really good.  If you enjoyed Retro's DKCR then really this is just more of that same platforming goodness ... and yes you do need more.  The game looks stunningly beautiful in HD and it feels even more "alive" than its predecessor in how the backgrounds/scenery is constantly developing/changing.  The controls are the one thing which I wasn't entirely happy with but it may be partly my fault because I stuck with one control scheme all the way through and didn't try alternatives.  I played using a wiimote alone (holding it sideways like a NES controller) which left a lot to be desired as I had to shake the wiimote to dash (which is something you have to do a lot) and also the d-pad is so small and difficult that it gave me blisters on my thumb.  I wish I had a classic controller U, but I only have the Wii version which you attach to the wii-mote and I couldn't even be bothered to look for it.  This is a difficult game as far as platformers go.  At one point I had close to 100 lives and I finished it with fewer than 20.  There are moments when I could easily have put the controller through the TV in frustration.  Anyway, there's loads more to do in the game ... I didn't play it the completist way at all.  I just beat all the levels.  There's tons to discover/collect/unlock and I may go back to try and do more of that ... oh who am I kidding.  Anyway 9/10.  Onto Monster Hunter

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

I'm aiming for last place this year, though, so you have a chance of winning.

I wish Vader would get a girlfriend so we could all watch his game completion evaporate while he chows so much vagina.

Watch out, Blairney.
