At first I was like "that sucks" then I saw his 8.8 rating for Twilight Princess.

i didn't play TP, but i was in the room while my gf was going through it. the wolf sections looked lame, there was a fairy audibly sighing every five seconds, the wagon on fire section looked very annoying, the androgynous huge-eyed cutscene graphics were disturbing, etc. i'm sure the game is good overall, but using ocarina as a baseline of 10 it's hard for me to imagine TP breaking 9 in my book if i actually played it.

I'm not sure I could really be precise enough for a 100 point scale but 9 sounds right for Twilight Princess.

Off the original topic: I'm a huge Nintendo and Zelda fan, but I think 8.8 is too high for TP. Everything outside of the dungeons was not good at all, and was a huge step back from MM and WW. Also, the Palace of Twilight and Hyrule Castle were not up to Zelda standards.

On the original topic: Yeah, that sounds pretty suspicious.

lame graphic overuse, toss. i have watched most of the game being played for hours on end.

I really wished you played it if just for a little bit.

i agree with all of this except for the wagon on fire section, which i thought was fine. the wolf parts were super lame and borderline unbearable. some of the optional heart piece quests were retarded. i'm sure there were other things i didn't like about the game when i played it but i can't remember anymore. giving TP an 8.8 is fine imo

This sucks because I recently started loving their podcasts and now they'll be down a man (don't even know which one he is and probably won't notice he's gone, but whatever).
