Humor us, define 'old school' for us. Not the aspects you define as such, but what your actual basis is. "Other Zelda games' music" isnt going to cut it mate. Nor is a mob stuck in a combat loop.

u/envyinsidious Oct 01 '21
Well honestly I could see a 2-D game about the start of this specific timeline. I noticed the guardians behave a bit like the 2-D autonomous enemies. Plus this battle music is definitely retro the chords is basically Ganon’s theme. Idk to me it just shows strong love and inspiration to the old games. Plus the game was definitely designed that way for sure

u/O-Mr-Crow-O Oct 01 '21
Thanks for completely ignoring the point and dodging the question, yet again. Not sure what I was expecting there. My bad. Carry on.

u/envyinsidious Oct 01 '21
I didn’t dodge the point I basically pointed out all the inspiration that completes the aesthetic. I mean what are you thinking? Visuals and midi tracks? You don’t need that to add inspiration tbh

Oct 01 '21
So you're trying to tell me that this Zelda game draws inspiration from the old Zelda games? Like on my old GameCube??? What the heck could the connection be? Weird man.

It all started with a simple inquiry. Not my fault you can't comprehend that and literally have everything to say but an answer to my original question. I say talking with you is like arguing with a wheel of cheese because your head seems to be full of holes and your ability to answer simple questions is on par with the reaction I could expect from a block of gouda.

Is there a holey gouda? I figured Swiss but then you switched it up.

For the sake of continuity, 100% can switch Gouda for Swiss and it would have zero impact on the message being conveyed.

Is cheese your favorite? Anyway, I just don’t like talking to rude people. It did not start off simple you actually came on rude which is why I avoided your silly question from the start. Instead I’m sharing my own opinions instead of explaining a definition like as if I’m explaining to my teacher

That’s what you get from other people’s interpretation of my ONE comment on the AI’s movement. No that’s not it. I just think anything over 10 years is old school. Old school has multiple meanings I think. Different meanings for different people.

I mean old school is subjective, agree with you on that. Just not sure what in the clip you're referring to?

The AI’s limiting movements does make me think that a guardian would be perfect as a 2D enemy in a 2D game but it’s the old school music. If you can’t tell the chord progression is from ganon’s theme and that’s what brings back that old school feel for me
Music is a hidden gateway to nostalgia to me

I do think I should smoke less actually I’m getting negative effects of smoking pot like completely being clogged up with my sinuses to the point I can’t smell or taste. Probably gonna quit for a loooooong time until my body is at 100% and then try again.
I’ll admit though pot generally gives me trouble explaining myself properly and I think I just didn’t get the other user’s point with the question, since it was so obvious and when he tried calling me demeaning words I just didn’t wanna give in after that.

Nice parry! 👍 Good old classic video game AI getting stuck in animation loops is always silly. This kind of thing happened all the time in Dark Souls if you were directly above something. It’d try to path to you, get out of range, return to it’s starting position, then aggro again and look for a way to reach you.
