Am I the only one who did not find Navi annoying?

Pozzle5405d ago

NGL, I didn't find Navi or Tatl annoying at all. I found them helpful more than anything.

It wasn't until I went on the internet and checked out gaming forums years later that I discovered people didn't actually like her. :O

jc485735405d ago

I find it that this is totally overblown by players new to the series. If Navi was that annoying, we would've shared our discontent long ago. This is just like how some people think FF VII to very overrated. Just because a movie came out for FFVII doesn't really make it overrated; it's called smart marketing to promote games. You play games for what they were not for what they are.

Navi was always obnoxious, but I only gave her the fifth spot because, as stated, she was actually HELPFUL.

In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.

I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.

Eonjay57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.

shinXseijuro57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “

Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.

Profchaos57d ago

The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson

But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free

Flenter57d ago

Sonic 2 Emerald Hill ❤️

drizzom56d ago

Please. Doesn't hold a candle to Chemical Plant Zone.

Stopac57d ago

Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.

NotoriousWhiz57d ago

Inspiration and trend chasing are not the same thing.

Eonjay57d ago

I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.

Authentic japanese spirit is the right path

Nate the Hate dropping bombs. He shot his recent video this past Wednesday and Nintendo teases Star Fox in Galaxy soon after. At this point hes the source of the leaks. He's an Nintendo employee working psy ops for them. 😆

Cacabunga60d ago

The last good Star Fox was the one on gamecube

Redgrave60d ago

There were two, of which I assume yoi refer to Assault and not Adventures.

DarXyde60d ago

I liked both of them. Starfox Adventures was a fun game, just not a particularly good Starfox game. On its own, if it stayed Dinosaur Planet, I think it would be much better received. Assault was awesome. Loved multiplayer on that game.

Starfox Adventures had a really special OST in some spots, too. Thorntail Hollow was such a phenomenal score. It was like this beautiful mix of African and Celtic sounds. Like Zulu vocals over something Enya was working on.

MrCrimson60d ago

I must've missed a good star fox game on the gamecube - the last good one I remember is Star Fox 64- which - imo holds up well to this day..

darthv7260d ago

I honestly did not mind Zero... it deserves a second chance on the NS like many other Wii-U titles received.

All I ask for is plenty of content/stages and a good challenge, if it's a cakewalk I would be disappointed.

repsahj61d ago

I really want a sequel to Star Fox Adventures, but a classic-style Star Fox is also welcome.

Elda60d ago

Hopefully it's a classic Star Fox like the original but of course with better graphics & a bigger game.
