Is anyone excited for Skyward Sword? I know I am. Hopefully it's as good as Twilight Princess.

A lot of reviews are calling it the greatest Zelda game ever made

Interested to see how it actually plays

Yeah, on a related note. I've been playing my Gamecube non-stop for the past week. Yesterday I went to three fucking gamestops to see if they have Twilight Princess for the GC. They don't even sell GC games anymore, fucking sucks, they have all the fucking PS2 games ever made, but no GC games. So, I guess I'll have to buy it online somewhere.

landCow · « **Reply #5 on:** November 20, 2011, 07:22:28 PM »

does it have use motion controls? I hate those as they often feel like a huge gimmick.

i'll probably buy it regardless......

pizzafliptofakie · « **Reply #9 on:** November 22, 2011, 09:36:11 PM »

That Black Friday page just convinced me to try and buy it then. I was otherwise gonna wait for Christmas because of rent and shit.

pappalardospizza · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2011, 07:22:05 PM »

i'm only a couple of hours in and it is really great its got that same magic that drew me into ocarina of time............ theres only one thing. motion controls. i wish it could be on any other console and not rely on waving a controller around. the way its setup feels kinda goofy compared the perfect control setups that has been perfected for similar games on ps3 and xbox.

Clayton · « **Reply #19 on:** December 30, 2011, 12:57:33 AM »

I'm kind of a closet Zelda nerd. I beat this baby weeks ago. The game play is great but I never really felt that challenged by any of the dungeons. This is NOT the greatest Zelda game ever but it's still pretty sick.

My Zelda rankings are as follows...

1.)Ocarina of Time
2.)Links Awakening
3.)The Wind Waker
4.)Skyward Sword

BOOM!

definitely not the best zelda game. I'm annoyed how there was nothing else to do after the final boss.

How long did it take for you to complete it?

Been playing for about 30 hours and im only at the ancient cistern, loving it so far though

Wait, so I can't do any side missions after I beat the final boss? Should I do them now?

Also, my two cents: Sucks. I'm in love with Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask was dark and anxiety driven-intensity, Wind Waker was initially off-putting but turned out to be beautifully laid out, Twilight Princess was decent enough to make me consider playing it again, and the random Gameboy games and remakes I've played throughout the years have been satisfying. The story in this one is intriguing to begin with, but I'm at the Water Dragon area and I'm just playing to say I beat the game. I find no enjoyment in Fi and her constant OCD breakdowns of a simple conversation I JUST finished. The item/pouch selection was poorly thought out. The motionplus controls aren't nearly as accurate as previews claimed--I find myself constantly centering the position. And I hope this changes in the future, but I'm sick of revisiting old areas to accomplish new missions. Show me a new fucking area. I don't mind going back for a bit to open up a previously locked section, but I'm back in the first fucking temple? For real? Bullshit.

sven thorkel · « **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2012, 11:13:44 AM »

after completing it, i'm not as stoked on it as i was initially. my five biggest problems with the game were: 1) they really reached for the kiddie market with this one, 2) there wasn't enough true dungeons (the ending just seemed like you were running around the world and collecting things), 3) the dungeons were too small and weren't that challenging, 4) really, i have to fight this big fucking chia pet again?, and 5) you never got the opportunity to punch out goose. so what if he's in tight with the old lady and he shoots 5 bombs in total, that asshole still roofied and hid your loftwing, then he had the audacity to work his weak ass mack game on ur bitch. who does he think he is? he deserves a diesel punch to his precocious (really, that fool's still in knight academy? he's like 10 years older than his pencil headed homebwaye) jaw line

landCow · « **Reply #24 on:** February 06, 2012, 04:23:26 AM »

I have it, i've put plenty of hours into it but i haven't finished it and i'm not really motivated to play it anymore. its not because its bad its because of motion controls. I cant stand them, they feel so gimmicky. sitting around swinging my arms like a fool brings me no joy. and flying your fucking bird with the wiimote is a pain in the ass no matter how much practice i've had. I have zelda a link to the past for snes I'd rather play that to be honest.

saucy ragu · « **Reply #25 on:** February 06, 2012, 06:10:57 AM »

"Learning" a song is the biggest waste of fucking time. They all sound the same, you have to fly back to the same spot to learn one, which is way out of the way, and the area itself is a giant waste of space after spending half the game wondering what could be hidden behind that huge spanse of spiraling cloud. I miss the days of random folk teaching you songs in the little nooks that an adventure ended in, like the Forest Temple with Saria. And you don't even learn the song, it's just some semi-regular remote swaying to a song that sounds exactly like the last. I'm sure Nintendo's seeing big numbers and is paying big bucks for good reviews, but I'm over their "attract new gamers" market strategy. Give me something challenging and an experience like when I was 12 and afraid to fight Gohma if someone else wasn't in the room.

i have been killing OOT on the emulator project64 while using a PS3 controller to control it (awkward at first, but still tight).

such a fun game even now when i am "too old" to be playing it. haha.

I stopped playing before I even finished the third dungeon and I read a book about economics. I think I'm an adult now. Fuck.
