Tender reminder that Koizumi should’ve been given the keys to Zelda.
and that's why it's the only good zelda game
Did Frost also work on the X-Files? From what I’ve read, Twin Peaks was supposed to go in a similar direction to what the X-Files would eventually become before Lynch sperged out and left the show.
Lynch's basic idea is that they would never reveal who killed Laura Palmer, and mysteries would just build upon mysteries.
Lynch didn't sperg out, the show was being fucked by producers.
Tried watching Twin Peaks a few years back. Don’t get what all the fuss was about. Got so messy and tryhard midway through season 2 I just gave up.
You’re supposed to stop watching after they “catch” the “killer.”
And miss the build up to the greatest TV finale in media history? I know the bulk of season 2 is dogshit but the ending is spectacular and makes the rest competent worth it.
Season 2 was a joke. I think they forced Lynch to continue with the show against his wishes, so he just fucked around. Sent the log lady back to highschool. Etc. It's sort of funny knowing it was just a troll but still, I didn't bother finishing it. It's not for everybody. If you didn't like season one, meh. Oh well.
Season 1 was alright if I’m honest. I was kinda enjoying seeing things unfold but then season 2 started steering away from it and getting so stupid I just switched off.
If it’s the general consensus is that season 2 is a deviation and it gets back on track in season 3 I may try again from there.
I heard quite a few devs say they take inspiration from the show I’d like to understand where that comes from
Season 2 had different directors trying to mimmick Lynch and failing. But it's still entertaining and not that long. Lynch comes back for the last 2 episode finale and delivers Kino.
Season 3 was made in 2017 so I doubt many developers took inspiration from it.
So much wrong in a single post.
No, they forced Lynch to reveal the killer, so Lynch directed a handful of episodes of season 2, to wrap up his involvement, but basically just fucked off, because that wasn't the show he wanted to make.
It wasn't log lady, it was Nadine that went back to school after waking from a coma after her suicide attempt, believing she is high school age. Also with superhuman strength for some reason.
third season is the best. Struggle through the second season just to watch it

Is this going to be the new "Mario 2 is actually Doki Doki Panic" or something? We've had this thread so many fucking times it's retarded.
Yeah, better have another "popular game actually bad" thread instead
>"This thread we have regularly is bad"
>"Well, at least it isn't the other bad thread we have regularly"
Nah, this thread still sucks ass
>Nah, this thread still sucks ass
What's an example of a thread that doesn't "suck ass" according to you?
Genuinely curious.
A thread that leads to actual retro game discussion and isn't a repost of shit, elaborates stuff in OP
Well go make some then, shitposter.
But this is just another "bad game actually popular" thread.
you're funny anon, I bet you get all the bitches!
Wrong board
Why is the cover art so bland and soulless compared to the Japanese one?
Actual reaction from American test audiance kids in the 90's upon seeing this cover:
>Who are all those happy cartoony people? This looks so stupid and kiddy, I don't want games aimed at 7 years old you know I'm actually 8 and a half!

>So cool and mysterious ! Do I get to use a REAL sword like that in the game?
Source: my ass
Possibly american children would have preferred something more similar to the Contra or Castlevania covers, a muscular man wielding a sword against monsters in a gritty realistic style. Not bad, I love those over-the-top covers as well.
I think the plain golden boxarts of the Zelda games in the west was not part of focus groups and a decision made by Nintendo themselves. It makes the game look "premium", like they don't even need to show any character on the box, just the logo on a golden background. Honestly, I think it's effective too.
Funnily enough, it was a similar case for the Mother series, in Japan all 3 games have a plain box art with just the logo of the game in golden letters on a red/crimson background, while in USA Earthbound got a cover with a character enemy from the game.
I remember watching a mid s2 episode and at some point Nadine grabs someone, spins him and toss him around, he was Leon iirc.
I'm thinking that we are in a shared dream and the characters that feel meaningful to us do so because they are like the people we know in reality.
AWAKE THE DREAMER AND KOHOLINT WILL VANISH MUCH LIKE A BUBBLE ON A NEEDLE…
Still can't believe Bobby became a cop.
Who was this guy anyway?
Dark Link
Pretty sure he means the guy on the top of the pillar with the Triforce looking object.
The post that was deleted contained a direct quote from Link's Awakening, it wasn't offtopic.
>noo but twin peaks and mark frost is off topic!
not when Mark Frost himself confirmed he basically helped Nintendo staff with ideas for the game, and the LA developers explicitly saying they were majorly influenced by Twin Peaks.

I feel like sometimes people care too much about "consensus". Like, before they even watch a show or a movie, they will read what the consensus is online, and then based on that they form an opinion, instead of watching it for themselves.
Season 2 of TP is like what, 18 episodes?
I bet many of you will put up with shitty shows that are hundreds of episodes long, but then complain about watching 18 episodes because "the internet told me it's bad".
Season 2 has a lot of questionable stuff but also some enjoyable stuff and also a great finale. If you liked season 1, you're missing out by not watching it.
