Any game complex enough to allow Vinny to wreak havoc sounds like a good time to me
Hearing the Vive talk on the Bombcast really drove home how burnt out I am on VR prior to the hardware even releasing. I don't fault them for talking it, it's obviously big news. Oculus' massive run up has absolutely decimated any interest I have in the tech. Maybe someday a game will release to make me care and the price will come down, but as it stands nothing has even come close to justifying the hardware and hype.

Serious Sam is a top 5 game for me. It has the absolute best gameplay of any FPS.

It still boggles my mind that the same minds that gave us Serious Sam also made The Talos Principle.
Kah-ka-rico
But which syllable do you put the stress on?
The first. Obviously. Middle syllable being Kay also sounds wrong to me. Being Kah sounds cleaner.

This is also acceptable.
Zelda names aren't meant to be pronounced by human mouths. A lot of weird awkward names in there.
I'm almost certainly wrong, but I've always said it that way. I also say the third syllable like the name Rick instead of Rico.

I genuinely don't understand Jeff's opinions on Majora's Mask especially in context of his feelings about Twilight Princess. His problem with TP appears to be that its so structurally similar to Ocarina, but then Majora's Mask apparently departs from the structure too far?

Jeff is most certainly wrong about Majora's Mask, but his specific stances on these two games are not contradictory.

Skulltula is pronounced like tarantula! #skate4
The problem with Majora's Mask isn't that it changes things up. It's that the components of that game are kind of bad. Dungeon design is boring and there aren't enough of them. The repetition is more boring than interesting.
Twilight Princess is an OK, if a bit safe Zelda game.
Marjoa's Mask is one of the few Zelda games that might be actively bad.

Just play Wind Waker and you will have seen everything good The Legend of Zelda series has to offer, anything else is a waste of time.

I guess I don't know what he wants from a Zelda game. If Twilight Princess is too structurally close to Ocarina than Majora's Mask seems like just the sort of structural deviation he would value, even if the quality of the gameplay is questionable in places

I love Wind Waker but it's got a lot of guff. So many other games in the series have more (not necessarily better or worse, just more) good ideas more evenly spread throughout their journeys.
OoT remains the quintessential first Zelda.

I mean, what he wants from a Zelda game is Wind Waker. And he got it.

I'm a big fan of Majora's Mask, but much of what it does new is half-baked. I'd love if its ideas were expanded on. In a sense, Dead Rising and the Way of the Samurai series do just that.
I'm out.
Couldn't play for more than 30 minutes until the game made me nauseous. Must have been the FoV or the color scheme.

That's what I liked about it too, I hope Zelda Wii U follows the same design philosophy.

It's how much of the main and side-quests are figuratively about finding a key to a lock. The Kafei quest and the like that ask you to learn the patterns of the world shows how rich the concept could be. And the time limit and cycles becomes a less important element outside of Clock Town and Termina field. I'll say, replaying Majora's Mask on 3DS both changed my perception of it and reaffirmed my adoration of the game.
grossest far cry
Well that's just adorable.
