Am I the only person that thinks OoT didn't age very good?
>>
I'll get a 3-day ban for even mentioning Egoraptor but no you are not. You are wrong though, it didn't age at all... you did.
>>
>>12703532
Kind of getting tired of both sides of this debate. It's a game that hasn't aged perfectly but is still pretty good. We could leave it there, yet here we are with thread #10,000 to beat the point further into the dirt.
>>
>>12703532
I'm sure there are others like you that think it didn't age good however native English speakers might think that it didn't age well.
>>
What point of reference do you have?

5th gen 3d games have aged horribly

OoT on original hardware looks nothing like your picture.

It looks pretty good for a N64 game

>>12703532
I played it for the first time ever last month, using the PC port and New Pixie CRT shader from Shaderglass
I enjoyed it quite a bit
Some parts are obscure as fuck, tho, idk how you were supposed to figure out you had to drop a fish in front of the giant whale
>>
it was never good and i have no idea why people fellate this game so much. nuzelda was a mistake
>>
>>12703532
it's got some technical issues but outside of that it's fine. being a bit basic doesn't mean aged poorly. it's a charming action adventure game.

>>12703532
most people who never played it as an impressionable kid think this

Mentally handicapped e-celebs don’t belong in vidya discussion, be they Arin Hanson or Noah Antwiler.

It aged well, the slow text speed and forced farming for 40 rupees at the beginning for the shield was annoying, though.

The only decent part is the combat. The puzzles are designed for dumb toddlers and the exploration is nearly nonexistent with how tiny each area is.
>>
>>12703532
It aged fine, it was just never very good to begin with and is popular mostly because it's one of the few games on the console. Goldeneye is exactly the same.

>>12703913
This guy gets it.
>>
>>12703532
The fact that it still gets discussed as much as it does says to me that it's absolutely one of the GOATs.
Regardless of your opinion on it, it's an objective fact that only contrarians call it a bad game.

I played it for the first time when I was 13 in 2007. Before that I'd had experience with mostly PS2/Gamecube/GBA games. I was blown away. I didn't even really notice the N64 graphics at the time because I was just blown away with the atmosphere and intuitive design. I remember just booting it up on an emulator, not even having a controller and just bumbling my way through with the keyboard on my laptop and instantly I was just hooked. I "got" it.

That was a long, long time ago and I've played plenty of games since, but I still think Ocarina of Time deserves a spot on anyone's Top 10. I'd rank Wind Waker above it but only because I'm a sucker for a lot of what Wind Waker does, but I wouldn't argue OoT is the better game.
>>
>>12703532
I think it looks nice, I like how filtered textures look
>>
>>12703532
it is right up there with the other brown games of the next 2 generations.
so, you could say it was ahead of its time by how ugly it looks.

If this game was really good, the N64 would have been a worldwide success, don't you think?
Stop getting baited by the N64 fanatics.

What the fuck does this even mean anymore? Because I think the retards saying don't know anymore than I do.

it means "I played it for 30 minutes and didn't like it :cringe emoji:"
people whose patience have been eroded by subway surfers just can never unlock the inner mind required to enjoy simpler games from simpler times

>>12703532
It's still pretty great if you play the Ship of Harkinian port and enable a few quality of life options
>>
>>12703569
Lots of PS1 games look really good at high resolutions and with the warping fixed, as do Saturn games. N64 games universally look like shit (and run like shit too in most cases).

I didn't like it much on release and I never even owned a 64

This game has only aged better with time as Zelda games got worse. Desperate are the Zelda fans for just another regular ass 3d Zelda game with themed puzzle dungeons and a smallish overworld. Why can't nintendo understand that literally millions of people have been waiting since twilight fucking princess?

I don't have the image anymore, but some guy admitted years and years ago some random fuck comissioned him to draw dozens upon dozens of these kind of images. It was just one guy with more money than sense that spawned all these retarded Wojaks.

wow, that's surprising. i thought wojakfags had SOME semblance of creativity in their ranks, to be propagating endless shitwaves of their shitpics.

There's been a few "orignal" pieces like the Last of Us 2 edits for example, but by and large, they're all the work of one dude who shat them all out in like 3 days.

Do you play N64 games at all? How can you look at your screenshot and say it looks bad against any other title for the system?
>>
>>12704118
3d ps1 games look and play like a dogturd. Ps2 is where 3d games got good
>>
>>12704231
The both of them should get foreverially entangled for this shit.

Ocarina and Majora Mask are the peak of the franchise what are you talking about? the new Zelda games that started in 2017 arent true Zelda games Ocarina and Majora Mask have aged better than many PS1 games
>>
>>12703532
If you play it in SoH, with modern controls and graphics (+ texture pack), then it is good and doesn't feel particularly "aged", save for some moon logic puzzles.

If you attempt to play it with N64 graphics and controls, then... holy mother of god
>>
>>12703532
It's aged fine, but you wouldn't convince anyone that this game was 10/10 nowadays; the last third is pretty weak

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in the US in November, 1998.
Here are some of the top songs that were on the radio for that month -

Would you say it aged better or worse than these?

they made the first level literally look like baby food/throw up to encourage you grow up and leave

>>12703532
yes

I wasn't a big fan of it when it launched, and don't think I ever finished it, either. 3D puzzles are annoying.

NTA but it's more about how highly the game is talked about, despite the fact I've played so many better games, they will swear up and down Oot is simply the best, not just the best Zelda, but the best video game period. It's about planting your flag and making a stand, no Oot is not the best video game, let alone the best Zelda game. It hasn't aged well, it's a primitive 3D take on LTTP, and that game aged far better.

i'll continue calling it the best game ever just to continue making you irrationally upset about it

You play these games either because you want to relive the experience, or because you enjoy games from that period, as they were. To claim they "aged" only means one thing: they are not for you.
