Zelda Wind Waker doesn't get a Platinum from EGM....

CrOnO_LiNk · 02-20-2003, 10:16 PM

Wow, I am kind of dissapointed. Really, the score was awesome but not a platinum.

10, 10, and a 9.5

I think it's weird that you're dissapointed. The average of those three scores is about 98%. What is there to be dissapointed about? I'd say you're expectations are beyond reasonable. Besides, other's opinions of video games should not shadow your own enjoyment for a game. Nor should it have an affect on your own personal opinion of the game.

You have to remember that the game is 5 years old pretty much. Other games have built off of OOT's inventive gameplay mechanics. As good as OOT is...it's slipped a bit due to other games getting better. That's one hella good score for a 5 year old game.

I believe he's saying it's based off the same sort of gameplay and basic controls as OoT... which is almost 5 years old...

Kind of like if 5 years from now, GTA was still using the exact same kind of gameplay and all... or something... although there will probably be more GTA games in 5 years then there would be Zelda

Seth · 02-20-2003, 11:36 PM

bah..i was talking about oot.

*crawls under his bed*

EDIT: As for Zelda: WW not getting platinum...i haven't played it yet so I'll reserve judgement.

No, no, no... I know for a fact the game will be one of the best... I am just dissapointed to see that it's not beating OoT's score. Zelda OoT is my favorite game of all time, and I had really high hopes for Wind Waker ever since the Famitsu review. Whatever, if you go here, you'll pretty much laugh your asses off on how many fanboys are bashing on eachother.

Anyways, Zelda is awesome, and I am proud of the scores, but I made a bet with my friend that it will get a Platinum in the next EGM. But see, I lost the bet by a damn 0.5.

Other than that, don't you guys get the wrong idea about me. I am not like that, it's just I want great games to get a Platinum. After playing Halo, I was glad to see what it got. Same with other games like OoT and Vice City.

Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yeah, it's cool man. I wonder what IGN and Gamespot are going to give it...

I'm betting that IGN will give it 9.9 and Gamespot will give it 9.8 Gamespot is usually a bit more picky with their reviews.

That's exactly what I am thinking.

And guys, I also found this....

Greg:
Overall- 10
visuals-10
sound- 9
ingenuity- 7
replay-5

Shane:
Overall- 10
visuals-10
sound- 9
ingenuity- 8
replay-7

Mark:
Overall- 9.5
visuals-10
sound- 8
ingenuity- 9
replay-7

The review is 5 pages long and higly comprehensive.

Graphics do deserve a 10... It really sucks you into the game. But wahtever... I think Mark gave it a 9.5 because he said it got annoying at one part having to go through the water.. But whatever, Zelda is awesome to me... and I enjoy the game more than what some people have to say about it.

And also, has anyone noticed how some reviewers have gotten a bit more striced after 2002?

*must resist replying....can't....resist!* I personally am dissapointed. I was more then expecting for Zelda to get a Platinum. After all the 10's in Japan (with the exception of 1 or 2 lowly mages

), I am very surprised to hear a 9.5 from an EGM reviewer. And I agree, I think EGM is a little stricter now. I am very pissed now. *continues break

That's exactly how I feel...

Damn, your sig is so nice..................

Well.. uh.. on topic, I think that people will like this game regardless. Lately people have been labelling whole games as trash just because a few elements were executed poorly. Look at Super Mario Sunshine--it was a great game, but because a few things sucked, some people said it was the worst game they've ever played. WTF? Those people just confuse me. Hopefully it doesn't happen with Zelda at all--I've been looking forward to it and I don't care if reviews are a little off. It's a game and I want to enjoy it.
