The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

[The Otaku]

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.

I'd also appreciate you post your friend code, as well as your opinion on the game.

[Abominator]

It's far, far beyond "okay", and there's enough "new".

[The Otaku]

It's far, far beyond "okay", and there's enough "new".

Okay, fine. But it didn't WOW me enough.

[Abominator]

Well, you smell like BRIE.

Anyway, I got to the big maze island and then never played it again.

[The Otaku]

The maze isn't bad. It's quite addicting . . . if you have a guide . . . like I . . do -- I mean, don't . .

[ChaosVortex]

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.

[saldite]

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

[Mikero]

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!

[The Otaku]

Sniff, got served BRIE.

[Mikero]

I don't know if I'd rather smell like brie, or eat it.

Lose-lose situation.

[The Otaku]

Smell. Then I can take a shower, whereas eating it will forever leave it's mark on my colon.

[Mikero]

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.

[Chron]

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.

[The Otaku]

If the brie was injected with growth hormones I'd still decide to smell of it. Better inside than on the out.

[Mikero]

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.

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.

[Chron]

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.

[Mikero]

That's not a bad story. Here's mine;

Call me Ishmael. I tried Gunstar Super Heroes. It sucked. The End.

[Edgecrusher]

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.

[Mikero]

Soo... You're saying it IS better than Minish Cap?

[Edgecrusher]

Minish Cap was weak sauce

[Chron]

I liked Minish Cap.
Well, once. I'd never play it again.

[ASR]

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.

[Vinchenz Rock]

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.

[Chron]

That's the only reason possible.

[Mikero]

I never played the original and still hated it.

I liked Minish Cap.
Well, once. I'd never play it again.

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.

[Chron]

... did you ever try pressing select?
Annoying as the hat is, it's like having a FAQ handy pretty much all the time.

[Mikero]

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.

[ASR]

"I'm a #####ing hat!"

[Chron]

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?

[The Otaku]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[ASR]

Pac-Man?

[Chron]

Oh god no, dude.
I can barely get past the first stage.

[The Otaku]

You suck.

[Chron]

I don't think you'll see me disputing that fact.

[The Otaku]

I thought you were just kidding. How is it even possible to suck at Pac-Man?!

[Mikero]

Probably because Pac Man is not fun.

[ASR]

I can see it being fun back when it was first released.

But now? No.

[Mikero]

I don't think I'd have been into video games much when they first came out. Pong is fun, but not THAT fun.

[preventerWIND]

"How bout when you get a cherry, you actually taste the cherry?"

"Well.. that doesn't work well with keys..."

[Mikero]

I dislike the taste of cherries, but I like cherry flavoured things.

[preventerWIND]

Thats my story when it comes to most fruit..

[Chron]

I like it all.

Pac-Man is so incredibly boring I never cared to get good at it.

[preventerWIND]

WAT

[Fatso]

I like cherries fine, but cherry-flavoured anything has to be force-fed me.

[Chron]

You know that cherry flavored cough syrup everyone hates?
I could OD on that stuff.

... WHOAH, PAC MAN, YOU LOOK KIND OF SPORTS THERE

[Mikero]

I like his shirt of himself. #####ing yellow narcissist bastard.

Why does the ghost have a leg? They all have only one leg each...

[Chron]

... those aren't legs.

[Mikero]

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.

[Edgecrusher]

*Gameplay may not actually contain pac-man



Apparently the pac-men are numerous, and have their own military strategist.

[Chron]

Pac MacArthur?
