ThatPersonGuyPosted 3/19/2013 5:17:48 AM | ... not because people's opinion change, but because the age group that liked the game gets older, and brings their opinion to the table as the older age group gets up and slowly leaves.
Think about it...
Final Fantasy XV Boards: FFX Fans are on the rise, causing massive conflict.
Pokemon X Boards: Hoenn Babies (Like myself) have given rise to Gen Wars on a galactic scale.
Wii U Main Boards: More and more Gamecube fanboys on the rise.
Across the Nintendo Boards: More and more want a Sunshine 2 sequel.
See the pattern?

gameman713Posted 3/19/2013 5:40:39 AM | I've read that theory before. I admit, it makes some sense.
At least it's kinder than the "Nobody knows what they want and everyone's an idiot" theory. |
03153Posted 3/19/2013 5:56:57 AM | ...'Hoenn Babies'? Now I just feel ****ing old. Still, the idea that games appeal to different age ranges is nothing new, neither is the fact that different audiences grew up at different times in gaming, though I do pity those who only ever had 3D games consoles from the moment they started, so many people with no appreciation for the classics.

KingBeetlePosted 3/19/2013 9:12:11 AM | I agree, but it has nothing to do with the so called "Zelda Cycle."

Also darn you Hoennbaby go away with your trumpets and your sea.

Also darn you Hoennbaby go away with your trumpets and your sea. It exists, it just doesn't affect all too much of the consumers. Just the fanbase at large. And I will stay with all of my Console Gen 6 Water, thank you very much. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yItm3iAonVo Message board arguments in a nutshell. |
iKhanicPosted 3/19/2013 10:22:10 AM | KingBeetle posted...I agree, but it has nothing to do with the so called "Zelda Cycle." The Zelda Cycle isn't a cause, its an effect of what TC described in addition to nostalgia and overhyping of games. The thing is saying something is due to "the changing fanbase, development of nostalgia, realization of nostalgia, and disappointment due to overhyping" is way more tedious than just describing the whole phenomenon as the "Zelda Cycle" --- Not changing this sig until we get a new main series Tales game released on a Nintendo console in the US |
MooglePeruPosted 3/19/2013 10:38:40 AM | From: ThatPersonGuy | #006Just the fanbase at large. About 80% of the vocal fanbase (Internet Zelda sites, general gaming sites, and just the freaking public in general) agrees that the Zelda Cyclye doesn't exist. Skyward was bad because it is a truly bad game, not because some kind of pattern. Same with TP: It will always be terrible. The next game seems to be heading towards a "2D" direction, and that's the best damn thing they could have done in years. If it's so, then your precious Cycle will be utterly demolished.

Uuuuggghhh! Why? I'm not mocking the Hoenn soundtrack, is really awesome. The only soundtrack that I absolutely loathe is the D/P one. What I'm mocking is the trumpets. Trumpets everywhere. Also because I just love to mess around with people like you. --- King of the Zelda Wii U BoardMog can go **** himself - Members of the ZWU Board |
