Also best part of RES 5, the cutscene before Wesker/Jill boss fight IMO.

Oh, and as for this, it was fail compared to the other Wesker scenes in the game since he wasn't wearing his trench coat at the time =(, but the parts with Jill kinda made up for it I suppose..

They still have terrorists with the samples, ex. Resident Evil: Degeneration

the rail shooters make me feel like I'm at an arcade playing house of the dead for free.


Yeah. It feels kinda weird playing something like that at home as opposed to the arcades.

Haven't played a Star Fox game either, though I hear it isn't very good.

Nintendo still did extremely well with Brawl.

No they didn't (at least as far as I'm concerned). The game didn't come anywhere close to bringing as much new stuff to the table as Melee did over the N64 original. It was literally just Melee 2.0 with more floatiness and bad online. That's it.

Is Shawn Roberts that actor who played Ice Man in X-Men?

No. You're thinking Shawn Ashmore.

Yes, Wind Waker is great but I don't need cel shaded Link to take over the series. And Tingle needs to die. Good thing he was absent in TP.

Agreed. Definitely agreed.

/Slippy....ah Slippy hoping he'll die someday.

Also on the subject of L4D and Nintnedo did you know that the voice actor for Zoey, (Jen Taylor I think her name is) is also the voice of Princess Peach in the Mario series and in another console platform, Cortana from Halo.


Yep, awesome trivia right there. That's one talented voice actor for ya.

Brawl may be good but it turns into lag hell online. Kirby lives on in the DS since he's better off there.

As for Pokemon, I'm surprised it lasted this long. It will never be as good as G/S (and thats why both had remakes). Nintendo should stick with Golden Sun and try to get a real Final Fantasy game again and not just remakes.

They need Star Fox back to its roots and more third party. And less easy games.

Of course, I'm not saying Wii is a failure.

You didn't define what you consider to be a stale.

I think you're focusing too much on the Wind Waker Link. Nobody hates Twilight Princess more than me, but seriously, to say Zelda is going to be a stale franchise or has lost its magic just isn't true.

As for Pokemon, that sounds like someone who hasn't played the newest ones.

Never played Golden Sun, from what people have mentioned of it i don't think I'd want to.

I'll agree with their games' difficulty.

@Ridley: Sales numbers would like a word with you.

Link is a cel shaded kid in a cel shaded cartoony world with a dumbass recurring character named Tingle. I like my Zeldas with LoTR fantasy. That's how I got into the series in the first place. Plus the series has too much of a hard-on for GBA/DS while TP wasn't much of a classic (it was too easy and had simple dungeons). To add more insult, it was a non-cel shade game.

I do hate WW Link, that's why I don't play the games anymore. But I also haven't ever played a Zelda game on the DS, because I figure they will fail.

Wait for Zelda Wii. Hopefully it won't disappoint.

Still though. That isn't reasoning Zelda is a stale franchise.

I never got into the Zelda franchise because there are some puzzles I just can't forgive and even Resident Evil is more better than LoZ and yes, I'm serious.

The cel-shading argument was stupid seven years ago; it has not ceased to be now. The look worked, and WW has the deepest, richest story in the series. LoZ has also never had a LotR feel, even OoT never managed anything quite like that.

RE and LoZ are entirely different genres, and there's absolutely no reason to attempt comparing them. You play the two series for completely different experiences.

Doesn't change a thing I said about the game itself...
edit: And any game, no matter how good or bad, is bound to get plenty of sales either way when it's hyped by the creator so much as to have a website about it that's updated five times a week prior to release.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU STAR FOX

I shouldn't go here, but I'm going to anyway.

There is no possible way RE is better than Zelda.

This is untrue.

Not only did it not bring much of anything new to the series(can't fix perfection) but it in fact made the gameplay worse. Tripping randomly, infinite air dodging, slower gameplay, more floatiness, final smashes, ridiculously unbalanced characters, terribly laggy online, and Snake really shouldn't be in the game(imo). If it were Melee 2.0 like you claim it is, that would have been a good thing.

Edit: To all those Cel Shading haters. Please get over it. WW was an incredible game. It was fun, expansive, deep, and beautiful. Would play again(and then again).

the hell is bitching about smash brothers?

Seriously?

Hahaha, more better...

WW was a great game, but to this day I'm still one of those "cel shading is a crime" bastards who sprung up out of the ground around 2002. I still love the game, but the art style's going to haunt me to my grave, especially as it replaced the classic Zelda look on the handheld systems 🙁

Wind Waker was a good game. I was against the cel-shade back in the day, but the game made me a believer.

However I agree about Toon Link taking over the franchise which sucks.

Where did you hear me say that I was comparing them? I'm saying which is more entertaining. Legend of Zelda automatically takes me to the land of boredom and Resident Evil takes me to fun land where I enjoy myself all the time. Everyone knows you can't compare these two franchises and I ain't comparing, I'm thinking which is more enjoyable and which is crap.

Well if I think RE is better than Loz then there should be a possibility 😬

I should try to get into the Zelda series more....I enjoyed a link to the past so thats a good start.
