Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

I'd love a remake like that for Link's Awakening.

Only zelda game I beat multiple times

[–]plagues138 10 points11 points ago

honestly, i think the graphical style would look like crap after 5-10 mins.

[–]EatingRiceKrispies 3 points4 points ago

I agree. It's like... Link's style doesn't match his surroundings, and it conflicts and looks odd.

[–]lindn 2 points3 points ago

It looks horrible even as a still picture, can't imagine how horrible it'd be in motion.

[–]mattmacneil 5 points6 points ago

it's that damn edge blur.

[–]CosmicBard 1 point2 points ago

I'll bet you would.

I hate to break this to you, but you're what's wrong with gaming.

You should be wishing for stellar gameplay, not fancy graphics. Anybody can draw a pretty picture, but it takes blood and sweat to create gameplay that doesn't bore the shit out of you in ten seconds.

Anyone involved in desecrating the greatest videogame ever made so that it looks like this shall burn for eternity in 1000 hells.

[–]ninthmarsh 1 point2 points ago

They will burn alongside those that talk in movie theaters.

Subtle Firefly reference?

[–]MrTomSea 0 points1 point ago

Does your wallet have any money in it?

[–]Olznz 0 points1 point ago

id give my left nut

[–]CigaretteBurn12 0 points1 point ago

I would stick my whole wallet into my CD drive to make sure nobody ever reposts again.

[–]STLZACH -2 points-1 points ago

That's a screenshot from a remake. Swear. I'll find the link and edit it in.

[–]STLZACH 0 points1 point ago

I can't find it for the life of me. I remember seeing it. Then again I may be confusing it with a very similar HD picture of a pokemon game. I'm not really sure.

[–]greg__ 2 points3 points ago

[–]XxBMW85xX 0 points1 point ago

It isn't. It's a wallpaper from a DeviantArt account that has very similar styled artwork for other video games.

I remember when it was originally posted on this site, I used it as my desktop wallpaper for several months.

[–]STLZACH 1 point2 points ago

Meh. I stand corrected.
