3) I don't know about you guys, but I don't buy video games to escape from reality. Who wants to fly when you could run? Who wants a sword when you could use a ball? Who wants to fire bullets when you can fire passes?

4) Why spend money on something new, when you can buy something that was out last year BUT NOW COMES WITH UPGRADED STATS!!!???

Who cares what Link does? I heard that Donovan McNabb can run .133% faster in Madden 2005. And that you can actually hear the players fart, its that realisitc!

Genius....pure genius.
I wonder what will happen when they invent smellivision?

Listen Ben, I like sports games, in fact I LOVE sports games. I also love sports. Well just hockey, but I still love it I've been playing NHL2k3 since it came out and I haven't even bothered to get 2k4 because 2k3 was just THAT GOOD. Despite all of that I don't think any sports game should be named game of the year. The reason Madden WAS named game of the year was because the VGA's were geared towards the main stream, which any gamer knows is usually quite ignorant. Sports/Killing/100% realistic games rule while games with anything that don't involve these things/ anything Nintendo puts out is stupid and for losers. Viewtiful Joe is one of the best games I've ever played. Yet people say it sucks and call it "gay" because it's colorful. Tell me where that makes sense? Tell me why people hate Zelda's graphics? Because it's not "realistic" it's too "kiddie". That's why Madden won. It was popular with the main stream. It wasn't deserving of one bit.

err...i don't like zelda's graphics, but i like the game, in fact i love it, the fighting is better than in ZOoT, the humor is also very good, howcan you hate link's face when he heard the deku tree speak in hyrulean?

unique!, plus they get deeper into the story of the game, Ganon was cool, although not as athletic as in OoT, i do think he was darker.

Peanut · 12-08-2003, 07:20 AM

I don't see what wasn't to like about the Zelda graphics. They displayed emotion eleventy billion times better than any previous Zelda game. Not to mention it was amazingly detailed. The graphics don't suck. Not at all. The only reason people don't like it is because it looks too "kidde" and to that I just say pffffffffffff.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 12-08-2003, 09:54 AM

well i don't like them because i was expecting realistic graphics, but with realistic graphics the sea probbably wouldn't have been possible, and some other things i think.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-08-2003, 10:08 AM

You gotta remember that they are kinda trying to do something different with every other game or so in the series and make each game have a different overall mood to it. I know it woulda been nice to have realistic Ocarina graphics, but that game had it's sequel and it's time for a new mood to take over the game. I think they did an amazing job of making it distinctly a Zelda game to reel in the old fans, yet different enough to keep people intrested.

Exactly. Still, I hope the next game, they go with a more realistic graphics system, like when they first showed off the Gamecube. That would be sweet, and different!

*Bowser_Koopa* · 12-08-2003, 10:40 AM

i'm msorry to disapoint you but i think my brother told me that they are not

*Taloniss* · 12-08-2003, 10:42 AM

Boo

Peanut · 12-08-2003, 08:03 PM

Yeah. It's pretty much confirmed that they're using the same engine for the next Zelda game as they used for WW. Mostly because it's a direct sequel to WW. I'm expecting a realistic Zelda for the next Nintendo console.

impetus · 12-08-2003, 08:16 PM

I like Wind Waker... I hated the N64 games, but mostly due to how bad the system looks in general - a blurry, distorted, mess.

Whereas Wind Waker is clean, sharp, and very stylistic.

I'll give OOT and MM another go on the Gamecube - I understand they look somewhat improved.

you should tell that to my brother, out loud please U_U

*JameO* · 12-08-2003, 09:50 PM

Yeah I like the Wind Waker is a great game very good. And also to Ben: Come on. Sports games don't deserve to be number one unless they are awesome and a brand new game like some sport that doesn't even exist but they made one up. Although that might be none worthy too. There is no story to the game just a regular football game nothing different other than better graphics and better play and rosters. Special features here and there. Is there a place to find the new zelda game they will be making or any site that has the information for it? Not Wind Waker the sequel.

**GK Punk** · 12-08-2003, 09:53 PM

Windwaker's graphics were great IMO. I never did finish that game, but Im sure I will eventually.

They are going to replay that award show in a little bit, after Raw ends so I might watch it. Atleast to see the Jericho Vs rey Mysterio match.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-09-2003, 01:58 AM

I'm not bothered by N64's graphics that much. Afterall, Ocarina of Time is my favorite game ever.

impetus · 12-09-2003, 11:19 AM

Really? My guess would have been...

DOOM!

bwa ha ha ha!!!

Peanut · 12-09-2003, 11:37 AM

Yeah it's kinda funny. When you look back on SNES and even the NES the games don't look that bad, but then you look back at N64 and PSX and go...WTF!?! Most all the games are just blurry jumbles of colour. 64 and PSX graphics REALLY don't stand the test of time.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 12-09-2003, 11:39 AM

except maybe for crash 3, it's graphics always amezed me, and for n64 maybe turok 2, but i haven't played it much so i don't know

impetus · 12-09-2003, 11:43 AM

well, that's half true. Most 3-D games look like crap on N64, PS1, Saturn, etc. But 2-D games (which is also the bulk of your SNES and NES titles, for fair comparison) look fantastic. Check out Astal (Saturn), Castlevania SOTN (PS1), or Kirby 64. These games look great!
