Title: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 11 May 2008, 00:06:01 I just got the game a month ago. It's okay. There's nothing new, but controlling and attacking with Link was kinda fun. The Battle Mode serves for many laughs, however, and I was wondering if anyone wanted play against me sometime? Here's my friend code.
0302-0486-0294 I'd also appreciate you post your friend code, as well as your opinion on the game. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Abominator on 11 May 2008, 00:52:28 It's far, far beyond "okay", and there's enough "new".
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 11 May 2008, 17:04:58 It's far, far beyond "okay", and there's enough "new".Okay, fine. But it didn't WOW me enough. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Abominator on 11 May 2008, 17:29:35 Well, you smell like BRIE.
Anyway, I got to the big maze island and then never played it again. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 11 May 2008, 22:41:50 The maze isn't bad. It's quite addicting . . . if you have a guide . . . like I . . do -- I mean, don't . .
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: ChaosVortex on 11 May 2008, 23:40:35 The maze was dumb, but the game itself was alright, although missing a few things that I feel make it a good Zelda game.
I'll add my friendcode when I'm reminded to pick it up. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: saldite on 12 July 2008, 02:28:43 I thought it was an okay game. It was innovative and, storyline-wise, a good follow up to The Windwaker, but it just felt kinda' lame. Plus it was dirt easy. I beat it the day I bought it. I haven't touched it since. I dunno'... I'd give it a 6/10
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 02:39:19 Keep seeing the game in the bargain bin or something like that. Been thinking of getting it, but... Well... Minish Cap happened and now I'm wary and weary.
Sidenote: Calling it "The Windwaker" sounds 650% dumber than not doing so, even if is the actual sous-titre, I don't know why. Well technically it's "The Wind Waker" like that, but yeah, let's not go there. Well, you smell like BRIE. Ohhhh #####, Otaku got served! Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 12 July 2008, 02:42:06 Sniff, got served BRIE.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 02:43:31 I don't know if I'd rather smell like brie, or eat it.
Lose-lose situation. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 12 July 2008, 02:47:08 Smell. Then I can take a shower, whereas eating it will forever leave it's mark on my colon.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 02:57:06 Nope. You have to pick it like this;
Either you smell like brie forever, or you can only ever eat brie. The cheese I mean. Because if we're talking about a girl named Brianna this is getting really gross. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 02:58:52 I saw my sister playing this game.
Then I went and played Gunstar Heroes. That's my story of how I had fun with Phantom Hourglass. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 12 July 2008, 03:00:50 If the brie was injected with growth hormones I'd still decide to smell of it. Better inside than on the out.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 03:00:57 I saw my sister playing this game. I'm sure there's a story about how you didn't have fun with Gunstar Super Heroes. I have such a story. Please tell yours. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 03:06:08 Yes. I saw this ad for Gunstar Super Heroes.
So I decided to "try it out" when the Japanese version came out. About five minutes later I found myself deep within Black's Silly Dice Maze in the original game throwing the die with unparalleled rage. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 08:49:01 That's not a bad story. Here's mine;
Call me Ishmael. I tried Gunstar Super Heroes. It sucked. The End. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Edgecrusher on 12 July 2008, 08:54:24 Phantom Hourglass took all the things I hated about Windwaker and beat me over the head with them until I lost all interest in playing it.
Also, it contains an unforgivable amount of backtracking. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 08:55:51 Soo... You're saying it IS better than Minish Cap?
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Edgecrusher on 12 July 2008, 09:07:53 Minish Cap was weak sauce
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 13:43:58 I liked Minish Cap.
Well, once. I'd never play it again. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: ASR on 12 July 2008, 14:33:10 Minish Cap was neither good nor bad. It was like... nothing, the entire way through. My data got erased over halfway, and I had absolutely no desire to ever touch it again after that.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 12 July 2008, 17:49:36 Meh, Minish Cap...
Capcom did a so much better job on the Oracle games. Also, I liked Gunstar Super Heroes but only because I've never played the original. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 19:49:01 That's the only reason possible.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 22:27:59 I never played the original and still hated it.
I liked Minish Cap. Minish Cap was neither good nor bad. It was like... nothing, the entire way through. Yes. Also I found it annoying that you're not really told what to do next, so there's too often some aimless wandering. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 22:29:32 ... did you ever try pressing select?
Annoying as the hat is, it's like having a FAQ handy pretty much all the time. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 22:33:30 Most of the time he'd just say ##### like "We must stop Vaati!" or "We have to get <blahblah>!"
Like, without saying where to go at all. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: ASR on 12 July 2008, 22:34:24 "I'm a #####ing hat!"
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 22:36:41 Well alright.
Maybe I just got lucky. Ever play a game where you just keep choosing the correct path to go down to get all the stuff? Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 12 July 2008, 22:38:06 I have no idea what you're talking about.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: ASR on 12 July 2008, 22:38:11 Pac-Man?
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 22:40:18 Oh god no, dude.
I can barely get past the first stage. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 12 July 2008, 22:41:20 You suck.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 22:43:20 I don't think you'll see me disputing that fact.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 12 July 2008, 22:46:01 I thought you were just kidding. How is it even possible to suck at Pac-Man?!
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 22:48:05 Probably because Pac Man is not fun.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: ASR on 12 July 2008, 22:52:44 I can see it being fun back when it was first released.
But now? No. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 22:58:51 I don't think I'd have been into video games much when they first came out. Pong is fun, but not THAT fun.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: preventerWIND on 12 July 2008, 22:59:38 "How bout when you get a cherry, you actually taste the cherry?"
"Well.. that doesn't work well with keys..." Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 23:00:41 I dislike the taste of cherries, but I like cherry flavoured things.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: preventerWIND on 12 July 2008, 23:02:09 Thats my story when it comes to most fruit..
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 23:02:23 I like it all.
Pac-Man is so incredibly boring I never cared to get good at it. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: preventerWIND on 12 July 2008, 23:05:07 WAT
(http://scottthong.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/pacman.jpg) Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Fatso on 12 July 2008, 23:05:34 I like cherries fine, but cherry-flavoured anything has to be force-fed me.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 23:07:22 You know that cherry flavored cough syrup everyone hates?
I could OD on that stuff. ... WHOAH, PAC MAN, YOU LOOK KIND OF SPORTS THERE Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2008, 23:51:01 I like his shirt of himself. #####ing yellow narcissist bastard.
Why does the ghost have a leg? They all have only one leg each... Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 13 July 2008, 05:16:51 ... those aren't legs.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Mikero on 13 July 2008, 09:06:49 Yuck.
Also, what does the asterisk next to "Pac-Man" mean? Where is the footnote that goes with that? There are so many possibilities as to the technicality of the Pac-Man title floating in my head right now. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Edgecrusher on 13 July 2008, 14:37:47 *Gameplay may not actually contain pac-man
(http://www.flamingmayo.com/firstchurchofpacman/800pacman2.jpg) Apparently the pac-men are numerous, and have their own military strategist. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: Chron on 13 July 2008, 14:54:33 Pac MacArthur?
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: ASR on 13 July 2008, 16:22:11 I really like that way of imagining the game, now.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 23 July 2008, 20:28:13 I was playing the Nintendo Wi-Fi Battle Mode and I ran into this person named t(^_^)t who actually helps me. At first I thought it was some sort of trick so he could steal my Force Gems away or something, but for sixteen games straight he put gems into my area. Even when I decided he wasn't tricking me and started putting Force Gems in his spot, he still put them back in my area. When I was a Phantom he ran after me. And then I realized that playing with someone who helps is much more fun than trying to beat the other. We were actually playing tag, 'cause when I played as Phantom he was trying to kill himself, but I kept running away.
Here are my stats. Typed out of boredom. Name: E21 Rank: C Battle Pts.: 4028 Win Percentage: 78% Wins: 137 Losses: 39 Ties: 3 Friend Code: 3652-1846-3749 I'd sure like to play against some of you guys. Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: ChaosVortex on 23 July 2008, 20:32:47 Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 23 July 2008, 21:21:57 Yeah. I kinda forgot. Have you played him/her?
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: NovaMan XP on 23 July 2008, 21:25:31 I doubt it, he just knows how the... Kirby flipping you off thing is supposed to look like.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: The Otaku on 23 July 2008, 21:30:05 Oh. Well the person was doing the opposite of what accompanies middle fingers. Would anyone like to play right now? I'm bored.
Title: Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Post by: DeMatador on 27 August 2008, 04:36:14 I liked this game. I was just talking about it today. And now I want to play it again.
Now I don't. Is there a quote in that scan which says "Good gobbling and good luck"? Reminds me of this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs) |
