Zelda Wii U: Massive Overworld, Political Story, Customizable Main Character

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Peredith"]

A deep, complex and interesting story in Zelda? What is this madness? :P

Yup, compared to most games MM has a deep and complex story if you factor in the subplots.

Gaming stories usually range from garbage to offensively bad. Some games have better stories than others though and Majora's Mask is one of the better stories.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] that wouldn't change anything, really. majora's mask is many things, but deep and complex story-wise is not one of them.BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Considering you can count the number of "deep" stories in this medium on one hand, that's not really saying much. It is fairly complex once you get into all of the subplots, though.DarkLink77

I haven't read the thread but from the first post this is waht I get:

Total BS. Why is the pic on the mag Wind Waker style Zelda holding a boomerrang and everything. It's defo fake

It's fake. Well, hopefully the art is. The info sounds awesome and way too good to be true.

Wow. This people still haven't given up on this thread yet? :|

This sounds almost as fake as the futuristic zelda story that that one website ran for April Fools a few years ago.

The customizing character part is what gives it away to being fake. 

Nintendo would never do that

f*cking swedes :p

Fake. Sounds too cool.locopatho

Fallout: New Hyrule ?

[QUOTE="PurpleMan5000"][QUOTE="Phazevariance"] This. Nintendo won't make it too difficult because they need to cater to their casuals like normal. The puzzles will be simplistic, the story will be under developed, and the worlds may be as large as ocarina but they will probably be as empty as ocarina also. If it ends up being game of the year and totally amazing, I will walk to the store and buy a WiiU on the spot.locopatho

I actually thought Skyward Sword was pretty difficult, but it was mostly due to the motion controls.:P

The difficulty in games like TES is completely nerfed by having the ability to quicksave before any encounter. Dying just doesn't matter. The difficulty in Zelda usually comes from the puzzles moreso than the combat. The "turn these three blocks to match the images on the wall" puzzles in Skyrim would have been better left out of the game entirely.

If true, and thats a big IF, then it's nice to see them step up for a change.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="locopatho"] Stuff like Skyrim isn't hard but it's at least possible to die. locopatho

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="PurpleMan5000"] I wish they were more difficult as well, but nobody makes large, open world games that are difficult. Just look at how easy Skyrim and Oblivion are. Skyward Sword was much more difficult than the games most people are asking Nintendo to make.PurpleMan5000

[QUOTE="locopatho"] Stuff like Skyrim isn't hard but it's at least possible to die. There's a sense of danger even if it's rare enough to actually die. Just the fact you need to be aware that giants can insta kill you, that wolves can swarm you, that archers/mages can shred you from a distance, that dragons can fly down at any time adds a sense of fear, makes the world feel hostile and unfriendly. No ones asking for Zelda to be Dark Souls difficult but it's waaay to easy at it stands, and that simple difficulty damages it's atmosphere and gameplay imo.locopatho

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]in the early levels yeah. Then your character becomes more and more OP as the game goes on.Shinobishyguy

[QUOTE="locopatho"] Giants and swarms of enemies never stop being dangerous.locopatho

Well personally, Dark Souls takes it to the other extreme a bit too much IMO :P I want them to make it hard though. Like, keep the current difficulty as easy. Then have a Normal difficulty that is more like Ocarina of Time's default difficulty, just hard enough to offer a nice challenge without being frustrating. For the masochists, offer Master Quest from the get go lol.charizard1605

O yeah Dark Souls is definitely the other extreme. I don't want Zelda to be that hard :P

Just using it as an example of how satisfying defeating challenging enemies can be. Replaying N64 Zelda is always fun. It's such a shock to take a hit and have like 3 hearts gone! :P

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] yeah they do. Or are you trying to insist that the level curve in skyrim isn't broken as f*ck?charizard1605

Video game designers need to realize that politics is boring. The reason why its boring is that its exciting if you are in it but boring from the outside. Anyways, in games the "political" aspect is just a reason to explain the battles occurring. Its not very fun. I would much rather they concentrated on a personal story. I find that every single game that has "politics" as the main driving force, the politics are usually dry and drab and act only as a way to justify some major war. And usually the political stories tend to neglect the main characters.II_Seraphim_II
