    I can't even look at the screenshots, and wouldn't even be reading this thread if they weren't spoilered. So yeah, no Deadly Creatures for me. I have enough mental and emotional stress as it is trying to coexist with black widows, brown recluses, and bark scorpions, out here in the desert. D:

    I'm allergic to many types of insect toxins and almost had to have my leg amputated when I was in elementary school due to my body not being able to resist the spread of venom from a spider bite.

    Spiders REALLY creep me the fuck out. That said, the video game wouldn't bug me too much if the room was well lit. If the lights were off however, my brain would probably start to play tricks on me and I'd start to feel like things are crawling all over me.

    I'm glad for those of you who can enjoy Deadly Creatures. Really. It looks like an innovative game.

    It's just not for me.

    I can't think of anything to add to this that wouldn't make for a retarded back and forth argument that nobody in their right mind would want to read.

    I just take it as a sign that they're doing it right when half the posters in here are creeped out by it.

    ooh, I wonder if they'll have different skins/costumes, just for replay and all that - I love me some cute little fuzzy jumping spiders.

    Army of Two. I would never want to play that game, purely based on the characters you control and I don't think I'm alone in that.

    I don't really like the creepy crawlers either, but I think the game might help me come to terms with that. Think of it an inexpensive virtual fear therapist.

    That's what I was thinking. When you play as something, you start to identify with it. No matter how cutesy, how horrible, how sacchrine or ugly, in the end it becomes "gotta keep my dude from getting hurt and hurt the other dudes." You might be afraid of the enemies, but you fear for the safety of your spider, and have fun swinging from wall to wall on your web.

    Only if I suddenly notice on one me, because other than that I have no problems with them. That said, I'm not a crazy bastard like my 11th grade science teacher who picked up a fucking black widow and carried it out of the school lunch room.

    Wolf form was pretty good, if only because it let you move around Hyrule faster rather than taking forever with Link's stumpy little legs.

    Aren't furries into, like, anthropomorphized animals? Wolf Link is just a wolf.

    Also, that's the stupidest god damn reason not to play a Zelda game, unless you don't like Zelda games in general.

    He was over 13 and wasn't cel-shaded (which, to me, completely kill the point of, and the mood that I expect from a Zelda game). Oh, and his clothes were either competely stupid or way too detailed and overdecorated for their own good, or both at the same time. But most importantly, it was his eyes. Can't put it into words, but the eyes creep me out. Almost like how I would react to Deadly Creatures if I were an arachnophobe.

    The game was saved by the Light Spirits and Zant though. Is it a coincidence that they are the most Wind Waker-esque designs in the game? Absolutely not.

    Huh, I preferred Twilight Princess 'cause it looked more like, y'know. Ocarina of Time.
    Oh, and the implied Midna/Wolf!Link Master/submissive relationship.
    :winky:
    D:

    Wind Waker was the one that made me think 'Enh, I don't like how Link looks,' most of the time, but it grew on me. But Dangerous Creatures? That looks like so much AWESOME. Though I wouldn't play it if someone that said they were arachnophobic was around, 'cause that'd be mean.
