Hey all, I just noticed this post on Dtoid.
http://www.destructoid.com/ten-minute-taste-3d-dot-game-heroes-167386.phtml
Now, I know some of you feel like this game is "ripping off" zelda. I don't feel this way at all. In fact, it's hard to believe a game is trying to riff on a game when there are SO MANY little inside jokes and references to zelda. The biggest things I noticed were the wind waker style opening sequence and the king dropping the ultra-famous quote, "it's dangerous to go alone, take this!" In other words, when people rip off things, they try as hard as possible not to mention the person/thing they're riffing on (example: irate gamer and AVGN).
I also know that some of you think it exists because playstation wants the zelda series. I disagree, the only reason it's on playstation is because there's no way nintendo would put "Homages" or "tributes" on their console.
What do you guys think?
(P.S: I do like Irate Gamer, just not as much as AVGN).
