Skyrim is my GOTY at this point (don't have zelda yet) and I've been playing a lot of BF3. However, I can't wait for Zelda. I love both Mario Galaxy games, Smash, and tons of other gaming genres. Did I just blow your mind?

This is what to expect from that review:
It goes beyond the game. He only wants to bash Nintendo as a whole.

VentureBeat review is kinda hilarious.

I don't believe the poster was saying that people who play one type of game or for one system are incapable of enjoying games from another system or genre. I think he's pointing out that the reviewer constantly compares SS to other games. For example he says the Stamina meter and running is cool but then dismisses it and says other games introduced that a long time ago. A lot of things he said were fine but then dismissed them because another game had introduced it a while ago thus meaning Nintendo is always playing catch up.
Yeah he specifically said that Fi is far better and far less annoying than Midna and Navi. He also complains that Fi should've been in it more.

Fi is mildly amusing for, say, an hour.
As a character she's inoffensive, but there really isn't much of anything to love. My dislike of her comes from the game forcing her on you all the time to explain everything, not really the character itself.

But anyway, VentureBeat wanted to not only bash the game, but Nintendo too with that review.
If people think GameSpot was trolling for hits, then this one is trolling for death threats. Or something.
? What am I suppose to see here?

The 65/100 review highlights valid complaints, like sometimes weird controls, pointless side quests etc but turns something that's a little annoyance into something that's worthy of hate.
Thinking Fi is the best thing about the game is just wrong though, she is by far the worst thing about the game.

Wait, the game doesn't at least challenge the player to 'try on their own' to suss things out first? Does Fi just cut in without my permission and give hints without asking? Does Nintendo truly have no respect for the intelligence of their consumers?

Man, this shit is EPIC!
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword proves Nintendo hasn’t learned anything:
The same can be said with COD, Gears, and othergames aswell. b
But receive higer scores and praise.
This. Everything is blown out of proportion in his review. But I still believe many will share his disdain and Skyward Sword will be a very polarizing game.
Like Twilight Princess is, like Wind Waker is, like Majora's Mask is.

It's more during scripted sections it bugs me. You'll watch something happen, and then Fi will tell you what happened. A character will tell you to go somewhere, then Fi will suggest you go there.
In regards to puzzles, I haven't found her to be overly detrimental. Can't think of any situations in that context where she's been any more of a problem than anyone else. I have no problems using the hint system when I'm stuck though, so I'm not the best person to comment.

The Zelda Cycle. Every Zelda game is the worst in the series until the next one comes out, then the previous one is an under appreciated classic.
Twilight Princess love in 3... 2....

The Zelda cycle only applies for console Zeldas.*
*Four Swords Adventures is not underrated, it is just unnoticed.

I don't dislike Fi. She has no personality, but that lack of personality is her personality. She's cold and logical and sometimes threatens Link until she realizes he'll go on the quest willingly.
Plus I like her design. The cape as arms is kind of cool.
Really the only thing I don't like is she reiterates stuff that was already said clearly. She doesn't ruin puzzles, though.

Maybe Zelda games just get progressively worse? =P
I knew this was going to happen. I think SS is going to be better than TP, but TP might have a few better dungeons, and some better music. People will bring that up, and suddenly "OMG ZELDA CYCLE CONFRIMED FUCKING ZELDA FANS"

Some times she does that. Most times she points out the obvious or what has been already stayed. There's even lot of repeating dialog (word for word) for similar game sequences.
At one part i remember, where her intervention ruins a puzzle sequence or at least the exploration part of it.
Fi is maybe the best companion aid concept ever devised by Nintendo. It's her execution thats been fucked up. The character is really cool.

I think Fi is cute, I like her little dances and stuff.
i played a wii game that was like a survival horror game and someone would call you and you would hold up the wiimote to your ear to hear.
one of my favorite implementations of the wii speaker. it was kinda creepy and awesome. i can't recall the name atm, think it was a wiiware game.

While that's certainly debatable, I think Aonuma's continuing influence on the franchise has reached a breaking point for those people who are not keen on his style.

This was the same episode where Shane bashed recent Zelda games for not having 'realistic facial animation' or something, wasn't it?

I'm guessing that he means that sometimes character faces are "animated" by switching between head models with different expressions or that the face is one or several objects with animated textures (which might be the case in Wind Waker vs. other games with modeled expressions).
But I don't see how that's really important, especially when there's almost no need to lip-sync.

What character? I mean, she literally has no character. She states information in a robotic fashion and tells you what to do.
She's no Midna.

I liked Midna, thought she was a great companion Navi not so much.
Imo, Fi is an interesting character, her cold and calculated nature has me wanting to know more about what she is and who created her so it has me intrigued. I love the fact she has information on literally every character in the world through the Z targeting a down on dpad.
