"Completed Zelda..."

Yes i completed it, unfortunately it was a bit shorter than i anticipated, so i went through it in about 25 hours. When is the next game coming out? 3 years? I'm bored with crappy RPG's trying to match the standards of Zelda. By the way, the ending is great, to those of you who haven't completed it.

Even though I normally despise anything remotely turn based in terms of combat, Skies of Arcadia is much better than The Wind Waker (not *quite* as good as Ocarina but it's a close race). Don't be put off by the relative age of it - it was worth buying a Dreamcast for alone and still would be if it hadn't been re-released and upgraded a little.

WW was good but simply didn't shine like you'd expect from a Zelda game. Too few dungeons, too few proper locations to visit, a largely uninteresting and unexciting story, often embarassingly childish dialogue, simplistic puzzles...the list goes on. The game, by Nintendo's own admission, was not finished and it shows. I'd have happily waited another 6 months for it (maybe even stretch to a year) if only it came closer to the quality of Ocarina.

You are dead to me.

And arcadia does rule more than many nintendo games I have played.

Bingo...

Skies is a good game... but its not a Nintendo game so isn't close to the Zelda excellence.

300 seconds more like, then you realise you're playing a stupid 2D shooter and stop.

:D

200 - 300 hours? With five levels? Wha..?

25 hours, you should have bought Ikaruga, at least 100 hours of gameplay if not 200 or 300 hours.
Wonder how many points I'd get for shooting Link ???

Bleh

go get them carved!? Someone explain this photo miniquest to me.

I keep saying 'screw it, i'll go complete it' but then decide to take some piccies of the bosses you re-fight.
Then I go get them carved and take a few more piccies.
Then do some more stuff.
Damn Zelda for doing this to me, I only want to finish ...

Is skies out now or when?

I love the final boss too. Stick that sword in! Currently playing through a second time. Trying to figure out if it's any different at all apart from the costume change...also you start off with the Pictobox. Whats the deal on that? Anyone?
