Videogames you love, videogames you hate thread

[Lemonray]

Twilight Princess was far from bad, I don't see how people can hate it. It's one of my favorite Zelda games.

Well, it wasn't terrible, but it certianly wasn't excellent or even great, especially when compared to something like Majora's Mask.

its like the whole game is like the quest to get the big goron sword over and over and over again

Pretty much, only you are left unrewarded for the entire game. When I played the game I kept waiting for something, anything, to strike me as incredible, but was left unsatisfied. Some of the boss fights were pretty cool, and the game looked very nice but for what could have been the game of the decade, "pretty cool" just wasn't enough.

Also, there were a couple of things in the game which were just flat-out, undisguised wasted potential. For example, when you kill Stallord, he seemingly yields the sword Zant used to re-animate him, only for it to dissipate and be replaced by just another heart container. It would have been a good substitute for the Biggoron sword, so why on earth was this denied to the player?

Edit; also, the final Hyrule Castle dungeon was so obviously rushed, and devoid of intelligent design. Certianly not good enough for a final dungeon.

Ugh.
