I don't care if this is a blog and you can post what you want, stop advertising for Apple. It's annoying. I swear you cover the iphone and apps more than you cover legit video games anymore.
Yes, Kotaku, continue to promote the decline of this industry.
Oh, so everyone's being cool about it. If this was EA, you'd all be swearing up and down, claiming they needed to be killed.
Yet another reason to hate Blizzard fanboys, you are all hypocritical douchebags.
@Michael Dukakis: Are racial slurs that common place on the game now? I use my fair share of "fuck off"'s on xbox live, but last I played, the racial comments were down for other vulgar words.
@PoweredByHentai: I wasn't just a part time sales associate... and if you are trying to point out my game tastes, Strategy RPG's are my favorite genre... IS YOUR MIND BLOW YET?
Seriously, I bet you are no older than 18. Where I worked is irrelevant. I'm sorry I don't appreciate rip-offs, but I'll probably play this game either way. It pisses me off, sure... but I know a friend that will buy it, and just because I absolutely hate that they couldn't even design their own enemies, I'll play it with an open mind. It still gives me all the right to hate the concept behind it, even if I think the game is a large amount of fun.
My favorite games of all time don't have "Halo", "GTA", or "Call of Duty" as their titles. Sure, some do have "Zelda" and "Mario", but you couldn't even begin to guess my favorite games of all time.
If you really want to have the Gamestop argument, I wasn't the "HEY, BUY IT USED" employee when I started out, either. The question shouldn't be forced and I never forced it. It never went farther than offering them the discount card and then OFFERING the used game. Unfortunately, that's the job you are given and some people are just bigger assholes about it than others. You offer, they say no, you go on with your day. I also wouldn't sell people scratched copies of games. *Gasp!* amazing, huh? Not everybody on the face of this planet is a scumbag, even if the company has a bad reputation.
I worked hard to support my girlfriend and I, not to be a douche. If you want the real truth, most employees suck because the customers are the biggest pieces of trash I've ever met in my life. Gamers and parents always think they know everything and treat you like shit because they know you have to take it.
You can keep insulting me, but you just look like an idiot. You don't know me personally, so stop assuming I don't know anything. I know a lot more than you think, unfortunately for you.
@Slagathorian: My god you are retarded. The fact that the enemies existed before the game means nothing. The point is, it's the same exact type of game that uses the same enemy patterns and type of enemies. The life bar and item boxes are in identical locations. A game that admits to paying homage = they stole the ideas, plain and simple. GET. THE. HELL. OVER. YOURSELF.
@PoweredByHentai: Well, whoever explained it to you clearly doesn't know GAMESTOP'S business model. I explained it to you perfectly fine, you just couldn't comprehend that they aren't the most evil company on the face of the planet.
@Slagathorian: 1) When all of your promo videos are only showing weapons found in the game you are "paying homage" to... well, use your brain.
[www.youtube.com] - I take it you've never seen the slimes or tektites?
[www.youtube.com] - how about the music here? what's it closely resemble? oh, does that bee have the same exact enemy pattern as the peahats from the original Zelda?... the enemies shooting arrows also resemble the ones from Zelda. They even have dragon heads in the water that shoot fireballs.
I know what I'm talking about. You can go away now.
@PoweredByHentai: Uh yeah, because you brought up something that has nothing to do with my opinion. Where I worked is irrelevant, you just had to be douchebag.
I'm just glad you have nothing else to say, because you are a pathetic. fucking. loser.
@Slagathorian: 1) I have a PS3.
2) Let's see. Most gameplay mechanics are the same. Yes, it's not the only adventure game in this style, but this is set-up the same way. Dungeon and level layouts look almost identical, if it wasn't for the blocky 3d look. The weapons have been said to be mostly the same (any difference clearly isn't being shown in videos, instead they have focused on boomerang, bombs, and hookshot). Of course they have to do a character swap, but lol, I can make Link if I want to. You claim there are new enemies, yet overlook that fact that they have SOME OF THE SAME EXACT ENEMIES from Zelda.
3) I know what I'm talking about. Unlike every PS3 owner proves, I can call something out if necessary. If you don't think this game is a rip-off, you are an idiot. The difference should be in how much you care about said topic. Maybe you don't care it's a rip-off - that's fine. However, claiming it isn't makes you a stupid fanboy. It's that simple.
@PoweredByHentai: Yeah, instead of getting a job you probably live at home with Mommy. You need to grow the fuck up, seriously. A job is a job, one I don't have anymore because I quit. IMAGINE THAT. Go back to your pathetic life and stop responding to me.
