went through amazon reviews from 2009 of demon's S to see what people were comparing it to

(you have to be an old-schooler to remember that one).

Interesting that some of these describe Zelda as “hack-and-slash”

I wonder if that’s a regional thing

it’s like ____ and ____ except only _____

Blade of Darkness of course!

So the same as Dark Souls fans describing other games now, but with Zelda instead if Dark Souls.

this is a good post

the one comparing it to ico is not that far off. a lot of areas in the game have the kind of atmosphere. the second part of shrine of storms in particular, with the spooky shadow creatures, but the nexus feels kinda ico ish to me too.

Got that whole “see every part of the area youve been to/will go to” thing going on too

when i played Demons’, i kinda couldn’t help but think of Devil May Cry, but i think a lot of it has to do with the menu sounds/UI and other little flourishes.

is Ninja Gaiden still any good? i remember having fun with it.

I like God Hand more but Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden II are tied for second. I wish they made more like that. It seems like From Software and Platinum are the only ones making good beat 'em ups now.

I agree with the NES games comparison wholeheartedly!

yeah I read that and I was like what but then I immediately rethought my position and I was like you know what I’m down with that
