I'd like to point out that I and many others have run into a bug with the Rayman games that doesn't let you select a world or level to play and the bug has not been squashed in either game rendering a game I payed for almost a year ago still unplayable to this day and Ubisoft Support simply stated they are still aware of the issue with no proper response as to resolving it. You get what you pay for. And the level designs on Rayman are also unpolished. There are many areas where I have accessed parts that should not be accessible, not to mention areas where you can see the level design ends and a blank canvas exists. No game is perfect and this is hardly a beta. Get off your high horse and start walking, because this sort of commentary is not productive, nor is it placed where it belongs, i.e. directly mailed to the development team or placed on their support site.
Well I've been away awhile because of some strange ghosts in the machine causing my account to be inaccessible. The hardest part of that has been not being able to sing the praises of this game. Some of the shine of iOS gaming has dulled for me lately with the constant deluge of freemium dreck, but this game has single-handedly reminded me why I became so enamored with this platform to begin with. In my opinion the whole "Zelda clone" argument is nonsense. Of course it was inspired by it, but so are countless others who did nowhere near as good a job of creating a good game in their own right. I've spent more joyful hours playing this and working out the puzzles than any iOS game I've played in over a year.
Frankly, there are just some people that will never be happy and see flaws in everything. It doesn't mean their opinion isn't valid, it's just a sad way to go through life. Never enjoying things, because the flaws are too much for them. Think of those people who go to see a sci-fi movie and complain about how someone shouldn't have been able to do something, because the physics don't apply, yet it was a movie about a magic dragon or something similarly unrealistic.
Well, got past the Lower Wing part. You definitely don't need the Tresher Boots for it. You just need to operate the switches in the correct way and use the rising blocks to gain access. Yay. I'm now fighting the King Angler and I have to say there are a few design choices I personally would have avoided. These are: * The camera is centred on the boss, not the player like regulary. This is disorienting and sometimes really, really annoying. * Once again it's a pain in the bum that mana/magic is so limited. It's ok to limit when it's about fighting, but when it's about operating something, it becomes awfully tedious. * Why the HECK would you make the player start from outside the boss' lair and make the player do so many steps before it's possible to fight again? At LEAST make the cutscenes skippable. I do like the game in many ways, but there are a lot of small design flaws here and there. The controls also have a lot of issues from time to time, but some of it boils down to the touch screen interface. This game needs to be ported to Vita or 3DS, stat.
And some people judge others by a single critical response on which they disagree with, and seem unable to grasp that people have different experiences than themselves. If saying something negative about something you feel positive about is a "sad way to go through life", then I feel compelled to contend and say that holding such a narrowminded opinion of others is equally sad, if not more so.
Are you trying to get the burning arrow achievement? You need to shoot an arrow through the torch/brazier pillars.
I want this game so bad. Even though I still have Zelda: the minish cap. This game still looks amazing
Hermit's Quest - the well Can anyone tell me how to get to the first chest in the well? It's buried behind a pile of rubble. I've tried bombs and arrows, and the first spell. Those are all the tools I have to work with right now. Or do I need to go to another island and do something else first?
But you surrounded it with the rest of what I quoted: This is what I replied to; saying my opinion is valid doesn't explain jumping to those kinds of conclusions. I regret replying to this at all - personal insults get us nowhere. I apologize for taking on that kind of tone earlier in my reply; I should've just let it go.
Wanna know what I think is sad? People who just cannot tolerate the fact that your experience doesn't match theirs, and subsequently feel the overwhelming need to attack you, either directly, or using the more cowardly passive-aggressive approach, and then wonder why you keep addressing each subsequent attack. Now that is sad. Really, people? Someone gets attacked, they defend themselves. Not rocket science. The funny thing for me? I don't actually agree with you. Nope. I don't. Your experience doesn't match mine. However, as a grown-up, your opinion doesn't negate mine. In fact, it does absolutely nothing to mine. Yours is yours, mine is mine. Simple. I read your posts, think, "Huh, that's interesting," and move on to the next. Easy. People keep coming after your opinions with so much passion, you'll just keep defending your position and shouting them louder. It doesn't take a trained clinician to sort that out, and it certainly isn't some bizarre conspiracy. Just borrow a friend's Psych 101 textbook. Different people experience different versions of subjective reality. No, honestly, there is more than one thing multiple people can think or feel about the same thing at exactly the same moment. So again, I'm glad you have an opinion. It doesn't match mine, but I appreciate you taking the time to share it with me, because otherwise I continue to experience my life as if there is only one opinion available to me... my own. And that would be truly sad. Edit: BTW, because empathy is paramount to operating as a fully emotionally functional human being, keep this in mind while you're fielding the latest volley of insults/veiled attacks. You're expressing negativity toward something many of us waited THREE YEARS to see, and it actually happened, despite some of us quietly wondering if it ever would. Further, it's the closest thing to Zelda many of us have ever experienced ON OUR PHONES. So be gentle. ;-) DBC
What puzzles me is this: TA has a user reviews forum, but you aren't allow to discuss games there, only post reviews; no comments allowed on those reviews. This is the official thread for the game. Could someone please point me in the proper direction where I ought to have posted my impressions where it's not locked into a forced monologue? Because apparently the official thread for the game is not the place for this. Drummerboycroy: Thanks for that. I really have no desire whatsoever to convince other people to share my viewpoints, but when faced with some of the responses here, I feel compelled to defend them. Simply talking about it was my only desired outcome, because if others disagree with me and can explain why, then I learn something about what makes us different. And that is worthwhile.
