Guys keep the Zelda impression in the Zelda thread. That is what why it is there. I moved everything over there.

Not sure yet. I think the atmosphere is what bothers me the most. I think I'm more of a classic Zelda man, or classic with a twist like Majora. I loved Wind Waker because they tried to make it like a cartoon and the super deformed link matched with older Zelda games like LTTP.

Looking back, playing SS makes me appreciate Twilight Princess more. That game is such an opus in the classical Zelda style that this new game seems slightly..... off? If that's the word. So far at least.

There have been some rousing Zelda moments but not nearly enough. I have literally stepped into the 2nd chamber of the first dungeon after 5 hours so I'm not far in at all.

The music bothers me too, the game comes with this free orchestral CD and the classic Kondo tunes seem so much better than the music in this game. I love Yakota's music in Mario Galaxy but in this game I miss Kondo's music. He just gets Zelda so perfectly.

Sorry GG.

So how are you feeling about the game so far? Does it have the magic of ye olde Legend?

Hmm...I think I know what you're trying to say in regards to atmosphere...its a key thing and something that isn't always easy to achieve, as I've said about the Halo games lately. Thanks man. As for music, why didn't Kondo do this game?

^Did you notice the Zelda cycle in his post? Once the new Zelda is released the previous one suddenly becomes awesome.

Awesome observation

You guys better appreciate Wind Waker. I think it's the best one of the franchise.

Agreed.

I'm not saying there's games with better AI. Just that Halo's AI was crap like all AI ever featured in a game. It's not as crap as the majority of games so in a way I'm agreeing with you. I just have higher standards.

I agree with you, wow that doesn't happen much. AI in gaming for the most part sucks. Apparently if the enemies have the ability to move around your cover to flank you they are GENIUSES!!! Oh and enemies that know how to throw grenades, oh man they are so smart. Thats basically it, that is as far as AI goes. Like Iga said its more about the scripting and what you allow the enemies to do which can lead to great set pieces, we don't have great AI yet.

Imagine if a game did have great AI, every game is like 1000 enemies to 1 guy, you are telling me those 1000 enemies can't come up with one damn plan to kill the one stupid dude with a weapon that is ruining all their plans. Come on.

I finished Halo Anniversary last night. Awesome stuff.

I got all the skulls and Terminals. The terminals in particular are really cool, they add quite a bit to the backstory of 343 Guilty Spark and the Halo universe and really explain in greater detail what the hell is going on.
