Behold, Majora's Mask. The ultimate Autumn game. Say something about it.
>>722352017I said say something about it...
>>722352017I appreciate its morose and slightly creepy environment. Ultimately it was just more Ocarina of Time with a few neat tricks, and at the time, that was exactly what I wanted
never played it
>>722352017The 3DS version was really shit, but the Gamecube port was completely fucked, and I don't think I even have the RCA cables for my old Nintendo 64 because I always connected it with RF.
>>722353269What's wrong with the GC version?
yes
>>722353269Just play the recomp. You can also get a retrotink+cables or one of those n64 hdmi mod kits if you still want the original hardware.But as somebody who still has his n64 and majora copy I just play the pc ports now a days.
>>722352017It's got such strong autumn vibes despite being set in spring.
>>722353527I know it's known for random crashes sometimes, but other than that Idk what the issue is.
>>722354428>set in springSay it aint so.
>>722353527Full of bugs and other issues. It makes the switch NSO version look like a masterpiece.
I liked the 3ds version
>>722353086>Ultimately it was just more Ocarina of TimeIt plays very differently to OOT.It's "more OOT" in the same way that Super Mario 3D World is "more SM64".ie: it's not
722356080>bad game is le good ackshually>gigachad.jpgGet new material.
>>722352017It has more interesting lore than anything to do with Ganon or Hylia
>>722356237Hence the "with a few neat tricks". Try to keep up junior
>>722352017>AutumnYOU HAD ONEJOB
>>722356080I patched the 3DS version to be good.
>>722352017That's not pic related
>>722352017something about it /thread
>>722354851technically yeah. Since the extended winter is mentioned by the snowhead inhabitants (even if the winter is only long because the mask/goht)
>>722358390TP fucking blowsit tried so hard to be oot 2, it ended up lacking its own identity while ruining what could have been a good original story.
>>722358027What?
>>722352017It's carried a little much by its atmosphere, but it's so good that I'm willing to still say I love the game despite its flaws. The gimmick is genius and it's a shame we rarely get sequels that go this direction nowadays.
>>722352017Really? I’ve never once played Majora’s Mask in the Fall.
>>722352017It's pretty fun
>>722360420What is the American name for autumn?
>>722360620Risk is a slur in corporate offices these days. Nintendo would never make an experimental sequel like this anymore, as shown by TOTK just being BOTW 2.
>>722361906>Risk is a slur in corporate offices these days.Because a game back then costed 50 times less than a modern game to makeDo retrotards ever take into consideration this when yapping?
>>722362109Maybe studios shouldn't have inflated their dev times and budgets through the roof? This is a self inflicted problem.
>>722352017>The ultimate Autumn gameWhy does this feel right?
>>722352017>The ultimate Autumn gameThat's not Radiata Stories or Fable.
>>722361138americans use both fall and autumn
>>722352017>The ultimate Autumn game>not a single yellow leaf in the whole game
>>722352017It has the most fun and engaging side quests.
I started playing Harvester, and it definitely is up there when it comes to fall atmosphere. Even though I really like the schizo writing, I'm worried I might get filtered by the "gameplay".
>>722363569Right, but there was a perfectly good opportunity for a fall pun that completely went to waste. We must be better punsters!
>>722352017>Autumn game>Has Winter zone, has Desert zone, has summer beach zone, has Swamp????
>>722352017>Everyone ITT thinks a game can't be fall coded unless it literally takes place during that seasonEmbarrassing really
I'll be honest I never actually gave much thought to Majora's Mask being an 'autumn' game. If anything I guess I thought each of the four areas corresponded to a different season entirely>Summer = Ikana>Fall = Swamp>Winter = Mountains>Spring = BayI just thought it had those vibes. What makes it a 'Autumn' game in general to you?
>>722367330I guess a scarecrow (or two) is a prominent character.Moon kinda looks like a jack o lantern
>>722352017I recently finished a 100% replay, still the best Zelda game, will never be topped especially now that 3d Zelda will never be good again
>>722352017The best part about this game is the transformation masks. You get radically different gameplay mechanics suited for different environments. It was fun
>>722367330Well besides the game literally releasing in autumn its tone is in line with games you'd play around halloween. In japan it was advertised as "zelda goes horror" during commercials. I don't necessarily agree with it being a "horror" game, but halloween in general would be the one holiday I'd associate it with if I had to pick one.In terms of seasons I don't think any of the locations actually are fall/autumn based, but then again neither is something like luigis mansion.
>>722352017Mediocre game carried by admittedly very strong writing.
>>722352017Boring trash. Old games were good for the time, but they're garbage when measured against modern-age standards for gameplay design.
