Biggest Gaming Letdown?

Well yeah, but they got kinda good reviews. Oh well. And I mention Jedi Academy because as cool as it was to play someone other then Mr Katarn, it was still an irritating little oink.

You too, huh?

Did Majora's mask feel a little short to anyone?

Took me around 5 hours to beat Magora's Mask...

And I didn't even enjoy it.

Needs more dungeons.

It needed more dungeons and no timer. I hate timers, that's why I can't play the earlier Tony Hawk games.

The timer wasn't that annoying, really. Time based events were good. What annoyed me was all the temporal paradoxes. And the masks. I quit the game because I lost interest after working to get the masks (only a few off from having all of them, maybe I should finish) The game was way to short if you played it straight, the minigames are longer than the main quest. From everything I've heard, though, the Fierce Diety Mask is worth it all.

It makes it impossible to lose against Majora, but really it wasn't all that hard withotu it.

Majora's Mask's 4 dungeons didn't seem that short to me, with all the sidequests and stuff to keep me occupied.

What did irritate me was the small amount of dungeons in LoZ: Wind Waker. Even though I loved the game and the dungeons were certainly interesting, I think they should have had a dungeon for each Triforce shard instead of fishing around for hours.

I dunno, I kinda enjoyed the fishing. But that's just me. I can see why others would find it irritating. Personally, I find it kind of relaxing. There's a certain satisfaction to be had when you get that last square of map filled in.

Biggest Gaming Letdown? (To get back on topic) Let's nominate... The original Zelda. Go back and play it now, I dare you. Only in recent years have I gotten into the whole series, and I finally got to play the original legally when I got that Special Edition disc which had both N64 games on it as well. I tried it out... and quit almost straight away. Augh! How did we play games like that?

Then I played the Neverwinter Nights remake. Ah, much better. And pretty, too. Would you people like a link?

Dude, LoZ was one of the first games I ever played. I remember sitting in the basement watching in fascination as my dad played it. Still a great game, why do you think most of us were brought here by ZC? That special edition disc I played for MM and Z2. Actually finished Z2, damn that was a challenging game. Only annoying thing was all the overworld distance you had to cover to finally get anywhere.

Wind Waker, though, I got really sick of fishing really fast. I never finished that game because I hated having to track down charts, so I could track down charts, so I could waste money to have the worst Zelda character ever tell me exactly where the triforce was, so that I could sit there fishing for it. Game had great dungeons and bosses, really in the Zelda style there. But the damn boat....

I know you guys think it's great, but personally I can't do it. I can't play something like that. I need to be gently guided. I need a decent map. I don't need, but appreciate nonetheless, pretty graphics. Sadly, the original Zelda doesn't have any of those.

And if you're interested, here's that link to the Neverwinter Nights remake. It's actually pretty good.
