*Is desperately trying to remeber the end of HL2...*
Oh right. Big explosion. Breen. Vortigaunts. Citadel. Meh. It wasn't that bad...

Do GTA! For great wittiness!

I'm not sure I'd say the enemies were that convention breaking. Maybe the Barnacles but pretty much everything else I think had been done before...

Anyways, I agree with you... it was going great until Xen and then it goes OH, WE FORGOT THE JUMPING PUZZLES!

Somewhat irritating that they did almost the exact same thing in HL2 - the final level being a JUMPING PUZZLE! Not that killing striders in bland street fights was exactly great either...

Not unique though... Deus Ex had that kind of blah last level. Thief managed to bottle it after Bafford's mansion. I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting but good show as usual.

Other similar endings would be God of War, when Kratos has to dodge blades on a spinning "log" that he has to cross and dies if he falls off.

Earthworm Jim, too, where the final level is mostly swinging from platform to platform across multiple hooks.

There are a lot when developers went lazy on their last level's design.

They obviously let someone on work-experience do the last part.

In my opinion, they let them finish off HL2, as well. Still disappointed, and bitter

That was actually the thought process. They were bored, so they thought "What if we took an alien and hund a giant testicle on it?". Valve has it somewhere on thier site.

There was one good thing about Xen: it was really, really fucking creepy once you started hearing the Nihilanth's voice in your head.

You must mean Majora's Mask. Because OoT was flawless.

Ooh, that's actually not such a bad idea.

Majora Mask (esspecially this one!) or Wind Waker I understand doing one of these to.

Twilight Princess was the first one I was able to get everything in again (since OoT) without wasting months of my time.

Majora's Mask isn't a bad game. None of the Zelda's are, at least in my opinion... It can just get frustrating because of all the backtracking you have to do to get everything in the game...

DrexilWatcher In reply to HiT3K [2007-12-05 08:56:48 +0000 UTC]

what are you mad? it was frustrating at time's but I loved that game so much. It rivals that of OoT in my oppinion. It's also the first zelda to come out with a new storyline besides the go and save the princess and fight ganandorf...

Onyx-King In reply to DrexilWatcher [2009-08-22 10:54:26 +0000 UTC]

Majora's mask confused me in a way. Okay, here I am, I spent all day (3 days lolz) makin' everybody extra happy to giving me a mask which, apparently, is tradition for a happy person who was made happy by sumone else. And then..."OMG! LINK! YOU'LL NEVER MAEK IT TO TEH TOWER IN TIME! USE YER OCARINA!"(terrible spelling to emphesize annoyedness)
And I say "OKAY!" and then blah blah 3 days blah blah I win...wait, does that mean I helped NOBODY!?
