ProJared Whatever happened to the old, less creepy thumbnails?

[@angelwolfplays6456]

In middle school English class, I was asked to give an oral report about my greatest achievement. Beating Zelda 2 with no walkthrough was the one I chose, as none of my friends had beaten it by that point. I'll never forget how negatively that teacher reacted. "That's not an achievement!" she exclaimed after I gave the report, completely crushing all the work I had put into it. The grade she gave me made my own mom pretty angry, so she came into school to have a talk with the teacher. I wasn't in the room, but the teacher changed the grade after my mom was done chewing her out. The teacher was extremely biased against video games, and had graded my report based on the subject matter rather than how well it was written.

[@DarthLocutus0]

Kudos to your mom, for standing up for her child!

[@biraptor6205]

And your mother is now one of the best mom's I know

[@scissorman44]

[@FrostGlader]

God, I received a achievement from my class for beating Duck Life in one Recess on Cool Maths Games. The world view on Video Games has changed massively.

[@peteranon8455]

Oh yeah, I absolutely hate teachers who can't keep objectivity when grading papers. You can send in an 8th grade level report on something they enjoy and get an A, and a college level paper on how teacher's pay should be cut, and get a C- for your lack of insider knowledge.

[@tommoose4769]

Has anyone thought of how terrifying Link's 'Adventure' is? All of Gannon's minions are out for his blood. There are literally huge patrols of them roaming the wilderness searching for him. Every bridge, mountain pass, and cave has monster patrols. There's a graveyard in the game bigger than all the towns combined. And he has to defeat his own shadow at the age of what? Thirteen? Damn, he earned that triforce.

It was nice to see someone actually talk about Zelda 2. It's one of the least mentioned Zelda games, and that's extremely depressing...

[@BretGriffis]

DuoReview AVGN did a full review on it and said it was a good game

[@42Caio]

I think that spot belongs to Links Awakening. Zelda 2 also gets unfair treatment but a lot of people dismiss Link's Awakening despite it introducing a lot of new things to the franchise. Things later games often take the credit for with the fans. Defense being an active thing instead of a passive shield, a story that doesn't have to do with Zelda or Ganon, A trading quest, and possibly other elements that have since been recurring, but people just ignore the fact they came from that game.

[@yeoldechannel493]

[@ERRandDEL]

Just thought I'd come by and apologize for participating in your cancellation. I'd known your name for some number of years, and finally started binging your Plays channel after running out of reviews the very week everything started going down, and I happened to be watching your ZII randomized playthrough because it's my favorite in that franchise. I think it was a TRO video that presented another case for you, and it wound up getting me thinking that I was too quick to just go along with the only side that was presented without even bothering to question anything. It's a lesson learned for me, and I think I'm gonna chill out with your ZII stuff tonight.

[@ssp9181]

Congrats on being a good person.

[@Deadgirlband]

Don't forget about the enemies who drain your experience.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

And enemies that drain your Magic (The enemy he Pogo Jumps on at the end of the video for example). Also forgot to mention the NG+ mode where you can replay it with all your XP retained.

[@LorenHelgeson]

Yes. Not to mention that killing them gives you nothing. I don't even think they count towards the game's "kill five, get a potion" trigger that almost every enemy works off.

[@kered13]

They're pretty easy to deal with though, either by timing your attacks right or just jumping over them.

[@LorenHelgeson]

True enough. But as they are all risk and zero reward, they really are bullshit enemies.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Loren Helgeson Yet that is how the majority of enemies in most games work (except A/RPG games).

[@kyleangus]

Who the fuck keeps calling Zelda 2 bad? I've never actually heard that, I've only ever heard people talking about people calling it bad.

[@Blacknight8850]

AVGN didn't like it, so some people took his opinion on it as canon I guess?

[@MissiGNO000]

Fors Clavigera No he DID like it, at the end of his video he says there's stuff about it he doesn't like but he thinks it's q good game

[@phantomvulpe791]

Fors Clavigera the game sucks. I had it on GBA and this game makes you want to rage quick when you get fucked over real quick

[@nathaneskin3572]

Girm Mac Neil I mean I think it's kinda bad, so there's me at least.

[@TheBrutalSax]

I've seen it as well. Look at the discussions between favorite/least favorite zelda games. People will either say Skyward Sword or this game is the worst zelda game, usually keeping the cdi games out of the equation.

[@Ryusuta]

Zelda II is legitimately one of my favorites in the series. It's amazing and one of the best examples of Nintendo-hard games that were also completely fair.

[@VladNorris]

...except it wasn't completely fair. There IS bullshit design choices and the punishment for a game over is overkill.

[@Ryusuta]

VladNorris Honestly, I think game overs SHOULD punish you more than they usually do in Zelda games. But I suppose that's a different design philosophy debate. I absolutely 100% respect your opinion on this.

[@VladNorris]

Well...BALANCE. I'm not saying modern Zelda games aren't super easy(the damage cap of enemies has been lackluster for quite a long while) or they don't need to be more punishing(Breath of the Wild is looking promising BECAUSE it looks far more punishing...among other things), I'm saying this one went overboard.(It's NOT fair challenge to be sent to the beginning of the fucking game when you get a game over in an adventure game. It's a buzzkill and isn't tied to challenging game design).

[@magnatcleo2043]

Yep. That and the fighting system are a large part of why I gave up on Zelda II rather quickly.

[@niallreid7664]

People consider the Zelda series RPGs? I never knew that. I always considered them action adventure games with puzzle solving elements.

[@Jac-Man]

[@BeardFaceSuper]

Blue Apron looks interesting, but it's way more expensive than just buying ingredients at a grocery store.

[@xMasterSparku]

Yeah, could just easily go out and buy shit in bulk and get recipes online or improvise at home

[@BeardFaceSuper]

Zettai Ryouiki My wife and I looked into it a couple months ago. It's ridiculously expensive compared to just buying at a local store. It looks like good food, but it's something you can easily make yourself.

[@DrErikNefarious]

Not only that but the first "three meals" = one shipment

[@JamesOhGoodie]

It caters to people who either don't have time to shop, don't know how to cook, don't know where to find fresh recipes, or all of the above. As someone who's cooked for himself since youth, I'm not fooled. I know enough about cooking and local stores that I can make myself a delicious steak and baked potato for less than $10.

[@Larry]

I never understood 80s mentality of "we have a popular game, let's make the sequel completely different"

[@RS234]

I don't understand the current mentality of "we have popular game let's make the sequels the same game every year"

[@fredluttrell4187]

Early game developers didn't realize people wanted the same game a thousand times. So, many of them would say "oh, that already exists, lets do something different..." Once sequels started coming out that were basically the same game with a twist and people ate them up, they knew what people wanted... Basic early stage experimentation... The only game developers I can think of that didn't do this is Square (Soft), where it wasn't exactly changing what their game was, but how their game was played.

[@IsmailofeRegime]

This actually reminds me of the Halloween movie franchise, which was in the late 70s and 80s. Halloween II was obviously a sequel to the first one, but Halloween III was an entirely different movie, since they figured Michael Myers was now well and truly dead and they wanted each subsequent movie to have its own theme. The third movie was treated as terrible by seemingly everyone, simply because it had nothing to do with the first two, even though on its own it's not that bad. The result was a few hundred thousand films about Michael Myers killing people.

[@Larry]

RS234 Well that's about money, but making something completely different is essentially throwing the baby out with the bath water.

[@fredluttrell4187]

RS234 Most of those are sports games, which most "gamers" wouldn't consider buying... The fan base is sport fans (shocking) which I've heard they will buy them every year for updated rosters/stats and not gameplay or graphics... Yes, they could just do patches... but, money

[@caligulas430]

still one of my favourite videos on this platform so far. I'm even more happy and glad to rewatch it if it is to support my boy Jared

[@Random_Numbers7]

It's fun re-watching Jared's videos without guilt.

[@edwardlowe1883]

Personally, I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as a BAD Zelda game. Some are definitely better than others, but they are all still good. Except for the CDI titles.

[@Lone432345]

Im with you on this. I have played all of the Console versions of Zelda and some of the Handheld versions. And i cant say any are bad. Some are better than others. But none of them are terrible.

[@thomassky4385]

I agree the worse Zelda game I still give a 7 out of 10.

Jumping crouch stabs sound super deadly. It's a low attack that you have to stand up to block. The ultimate mix-up.
