What made CE so good was that there were no "bosses". I loved that, went against everything I had ever known about games up until that point. The Tartarus fight is probably the lowest the series has ever felt for me personally in campaign.

Exactly, Halo 3's was better because YOU JUST SHOT JOHNSON DIE MUTHA FUCKAAAA

Halo 2 was like, I'm not even the master chief and I really want to kill you white haired brute....

I always thought Halo 2 would have been really cool with the Arbiter flying away from some explosion coming behind him out of that huge building in a banshee, like Starfox 64 style.

For the longest time the only Zelda I've completed was Link to the Past, but I owned all the console Zeldas after that up to Twilight Princess. I've only just started to chip away at that shameful Zelda backlog and recently beat Ocarina of Time. It definitely feels like a product of the time, 'cause a lot of the annoyance I had from it came from the plodding pace of movement and janky controls when going for Z-targeting.

It also had some stupid adventure game moments, like before the Fire Temple where the Goron City is completely empty except for one rolling kid and everything about the game is telling you to go to the top of the mountain to progress. There's nothing at the top for you to do, and going back to talk to the kid makes him tell you to go away because he suspects you're Ganon's henchman. So what do you have to do to make progress here? Bomb the fucking kid.

I will say that I do not understand how the Water Temple became infamous in that game, it was probably the least frustrating most straight-forward dungeon in the entire game.

I'll get around to Majora's eventually.

If you thought OoT was a product of its time, then MM will probably make you want to break stuff. Outside of Dark Souls, I can't remember a game since that did its best to be a dick to you.

WW, best Zelda ever? ugh, no.

You guys like waving your wand around constantly to change wind direction while sailing around a vast pointless ocean? GTFO!

What Zelda game doesn't have a slightly tedious navigational element to explore a mostly empty hub world? At least the sea was beautiful, unlike the murky pile of shit that was TP (no pun intended on Nintendo's part), or that awful bird flying in Skyward Sword.

YES! It was an awesome thing for the time, there was no bossfight that was a bullet sponge that you had to circle strafe around for 5 minutes, or had to do some scripted rigmarole to beat. When the game finished not with some kind of end boss but with a race to escape, I was impressed.

I only played through the intro bit so far, but just in terms of pure control Majora's is already feeling better. The time to access the inventory is reduced significantly, and general movement speed is faster. Though the whole time manipulation mechanic of the game is making me hesitant to really start it.

That pony shit is way weirder than fapping to teenage Nickelodeon girls. If you're a grown ass man who watches cartoon pony tv shows designed for 8 year olds, you need to be on the Chris Hansen Registry for Creepy Assholes.

Zelda talk now, I guess? Maybe it's just the newness right now, but Skyward Sword is my favorite so far. Yeah it has flaws, and the motion controls aren't as ggod as they should be, but it's beautiful and has great music and characters and some really great dungeons. Ocarina and Majora's mash are pretty much tied right below it though. WW and TP are good too, but I'm not able to replay them as much as the others.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT PONIES. WHINING ABOUT DUDES WHO LIKE PONIES IS ALMOST AS BAD AS LIKING THEM YOURSELF.

JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.

FUCK.

Not sure what it is, but I'm behind Wind Waker. It's certainly the most underrated Zelda game. Great stuff.
For whatever reason, I absolutely love that Hyrule is at the bottom of the sea. The scene in the frozen castle was a gaming moment that I'll always remember vividly.

Whoa, what is happening in here?
 
No one was whining? Take a chill pill brah.

I just don't want to hear about ponies, ponyfans or anything PONY RELATED. Even insulting those who like it, who gives a shit. Just shut up about god damn ponies in here. One place I can go without god damn pony talk and here it is, god damnit.

Throw a few more profanities in there, I didn't really feel like you meant it.

So, Halo then.

Just got done trying to get that achievement for finishing the Library without dying, playing it super careful, taking my time, got all the way to the fourth floor, into that little tunnel that goes into the room with closed doors on either end, backed into the tunnel for safety, only to bumb into like 3 flood carriers that spawned behind me. Turned around to get out of the tunnel, more carriers dropped down in front of me. Explosions everywhere. Dead. Fuck.

I'll probably just give up on trying to 100% Anniversary. :/

Can we be done with that shit now plz

That pony show has a nice color pallette and really good animation. I enjoy looking at the gifs of it people post around gaf.

You can use skulls to get achievements, just enable Bandana and casually stroll around with a pistol and shotgun. Just avoid the rocket launcher motherfuckers.

Kyle is right, but besides the creators of this show did us a great justice.

We now know about all the closet creeps.
Personally I like using it as a means of outing people who give way too much of a shit about stupid stuff. Like if someone likes a cartoon.

Yeah I've been using Bandana for pretty much all my achievements. Honestly it's more of an effort thing at this point. At a certain point I'd rather just save the time. Good thing I don't care about 100%ing Halo achievements as much as I used to. :lol
 
I just noticed that every time I step into the bathroom I get a little bit agitated as this comes into view.

That word brings nothing to me but pain and sorrow now.

Upgrade to better floss to solve all your problems in life?

Thinking about playing CEA. I'm a bit shocked that I've only played through 4 missions on that. Love that campaign.

Need to see the terminals.
