i just, really liked zelda and that was The Game I needed for my game boy color, apparently
BANNED CLOWN
Old style Zelda games are my faves because they're SO hard but also they're SO. HARD.
LOVE☆STRUCK
RIGHT...
LOVE☆STRUCK
and it's not like i was a stupid kid i just. I feel like in order to play those games well you def needed to have experience with other video games and I was already bad at video games
LOVE☆STRUCK
i played like, the barbie version of tomb raider and still repeatedly died
BANNED CLOWN
YEAH that's very true--daGMDGsd

BANNED CLOWN
Games like that really do build on existing experiences and expectations in game design, though.
LOVE☆STRUCK
YEAH
LOVE☆STRUCK
which, i had a bit more by then
LOVE☆STRUCK
I think the first game i finished myself without help from anyone else was KH2
LOVE☆STRUCK
and I was so proud of myself that I started to really play videogames after that, and not just like, kitschy Nintendo DS games that you can't lose at
LOVE☆STRUCK
..also the DS Zeldas were marginally easier
BANNED CLOWN
The DS Zeldas were easier, but also more.... tedious, to me? Admittedly they required motor skills in a way previous Zeldas didn't
BANNED CLOWN
So I might just be cranky about how much I struggled with that LOL
LOVE☆STRUCK
the only thing I remember being truly angry about was a puzzle in Phantom Hourglass where like... there's a stamp on the wall and you have to get it on your map somehow
LOVE☆STRUCK
and i was so frustrated i closed my DS for like an hour and later on looked up the answer
BANNED CLOWN
Wheezes
LOVE☆STRUCK
only to find that. the answer. was closing he DS. so that the map would fucking touch
BANNED CLOWN
