good to see Fenyx Rising getting some love. I bought it on a whim, and didn't really expect much from it, and won't argue with the many criticisms, but its one of those games I just really enjoy playing, collecting, exploring and can get lost for hrs without boredom. I have just been having fun, that's a good thing surely? :)
i cant believe how successful newtek is with tricaster, we (in a tv education college)have constant issues with them, it doesn't use correct audio recording levels and you have to blast additional fans on them to keep them going.i thought you has got rid of them?
Easily the most time and fun I've spent in gaming has been the co op modes from UC3 onwards, I hate competitive multiplayer but teaming up with my friend and completing the different challenges and waves has been so full of great stories and memories. I know some find the shooting mechanics poor, I don't, and I also think the AI of the enemies is remarkably well done. Each to their own but I love it.
Zelda excels in the little things, those moments that stay long in the memory and feel unique and special to your playthrough even when the game is linear, I agree with points made above that skyward sword had issues but it also had some of the best moments and dungeons in the franchise, one of my most cherished moments in gaming was when I first got to ride on epona in ocarina of time and for hours I ignored the story and just rode and basked in the sheer thrill of it. The zelda games may not work for everyone but it is clear that it does touch a number of people deeply, it has a rather special sprinkle of giant fairy dust and playing them, for me, does feel a different experience. Im looking forward to disappearing into botw and creating hopefully numerous new special memories, for those that it doesn't, I hope you get as much joy in the games you like
