Brutal Legend. Tim Schaefer is a god and I want to play everything he has ever made. The stage battles are a little wonky but it's still really good for a console RTS.
It's not Psychonauts, but that set the bar pretty high.
I need to finish Bastion at some point but I lost momentum.
Also while my GF is out of town, I plan to marathon Amnesia and actually beat it this time for my Halloween game.
After all that stuff, I really smurfing goddamn want to play Black Mesa. Like wicked bad.
Aion
Oh man you guys I don't even know, I am playing too much right now. Averaging probably 14 hours a day gaming on my days off. Between WoW, Torchlight, XCOM, all the other stuff... going crazy and I absolutely love it
Just started Majora's Mask again. Also always playing Super Metroid romhacks.
Found a gamecube version of The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess at a game store up in Boulder for only 30 bucks.
Man, my last save was in 2007, this is exciting.
The game is actually far better put together than I remember, with only the "eh" characters being my only complaint, and that's a minor one.
I must say, it's my favorite 3D LoZ game without a doubt, beating both OoT and Majoras Mask in my eyes (with MM in 2nd place) (sue me).
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Twilight Princess is actually my favorite of the 3D Zeldas as well, and it's tied with Link to the Past as my favorite in the series.
The game gets more flak than it deserves, but that seems to be almost a tradition of the Zelda franchise, much like the FF series.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
The only thing keeping me from naming Twilight Princess my favorite Zelda is that is is the easiest one I've played.Originally Posted by Wolf Kanno

Though the most bitchin' and epic fight verses Gannon the series has yet to offer keeps it close.
I honestly never finished Twilight Princess. I hated the opening for being mind numbingly slow, I hated wolf form because fetch quests are stupid, and the first two dungeons felt like OoT all over again. Was I missing something by jumping ship so early (and by early I of course mean several hours in)?
And any answer to this thread for at least the rest of October which doesn't include XCom is wrong and you should all be ashamed.
XCom
The first few hours in Twilight Princess are probably the worst in any Zelda game that's been released. I was losing interest as well but decided to persevere. It takes a lot of things that made OoT great and improved on them in many ways.
Ocarina of Time was too ground-breaking to be surpassed for me but TP was not far behind. You should definitely play through it at least once, Vivi. You won't regret it!
This is actually one of the problems that kept popping up in my mind each time I thought about going back to it: I don't really like OoT that much anymore. Don't get me wrong, it was fairly ground breaking for the time, and it did a good job of bringing the Zelda formula into 3D, but after beating it twice when it came out I've never managed another full playthrough. I've tried a few times but every time I end up bored out of my skull by the time I get the Master Sword and simply stop. I actually don't think I made it that far last time. I was never able to quite put my finger on why though, and it's been so long since I last tried playing it I can't say for sure why it fell flat with me after those first two times.
I doubt it's over familiarity with it by any stretch at least. I did do just about everything during my second playthrough, but I could say the same about games like FFIV, FFVI, Mario World, Mario 64, Mirror's Edge, and who knows how many more. But I've beaten each of those at least a dozen times over the years.
I've beaten OoT once because my friends forced me to, and I have to say... since I didn't play the game as a kid, the nostalgia goggles had no effect on me, and I didn't enjoy my time with it much. The controls were too wonky for me... master quest was enjoyable, though I was never able to beat it.This is actually one of the problems that kept popping up in my mind each time I thought about going back to it: I don't really like OoT that much anymore.

Back on TP:
Meh, I don't know if you'd enjoy the rest then. While it may introduce 3 of the best things to ever be put into a LoZ game, double clawshot, Spinner, and Ball and Chain... meh, I'm not sure if you'd be able to push through. It's a shame because the game is basically OoT if it had actually aged well, but you can't love every masterpiece I suppose.
EDIT: Also, I should at least list my favorite LoZs (3D)
1: TP (I just love how it expands on what made OoT great, had some awesome level design, and quite possibly the best tools and puzzles ever. )
2: Wind Waker (I said favorite, not best*)
3: Majoras Mask (The dark, sometimes unsettling story, the eery setting and characters and the masks. I loved this game to pieces)
OoTs story didnt draw me in as much as Majoras Mask to keep me interested, and I found wind wakers combat to be quite possibly the most fun in the entire franchise, even if there were some sections that made me want to kill a baby *(The triforce shards section being the prime complaint for obvious reasons)

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Twilight Princess is definitely my favorite 3D Zelda game, followed closely by Windwaker and then I guess OoT. I was generally not a huge fan of Skyward Sword.
And people don't talk about it so much, but Minish Cap is one of my favorite entries in the series. I beat that game in one weekend, barely taking breaks to eat and piss. Yall should play it if you haven't.
Lately I've been playing Farcry 2, as I'd picked it up on the Steam summer sale and never really played it too much before. It's a good game, but definitely overambitious with the attempts at realism. The game would be better if they just scrapped the whole malaria thing, completely.
TP was better than SS. Reflecting at this point in time, I would have to agree that TP is the best 3D Zelda game. It is OoT on steroids. WW and SS tried to do something different and I appreciate that, but there really isn't anything that matches galloping through Hyrule field on Epona.

What weapon setup are you using? I love FC2, despite it's (many) flaws. xD
