Hey GAF,
Looking for some expert opinions on Skyward Sword and whether it's worth continuing the journey. Before I start:
Here's where I'm at:
What I don't like so far:
What I like so far:
I've completed pretty much every Zelda game, except Minish Cap and the CD-I garbage, but there's something about this one that just isn't clicking for me...and I say that as someone who completed Spirit Tracks. I know the game helps establish the overall mythology of Hyrule and allegedly has direct links to Breath of the Wild, which is why part of me wants to stick with it. That said, what I've seen thus far isn't really floating my boat.
But...I've been wrong before, and most notably with The Witcher 3, which I'm glad I finally completed, despite it dragging terribly in some areas/quests.
What are your thoughts?
Looking for some expert opinions on Skyward Sword and whether it's worth continuing the journey. Before I start:
- I'm not interested in reading reviews for the game because Nintendo generally receives unfair scores for their marquee releases that err on the side of favorable.
- YouTube is generally full of hyperbolic morons that swing too hard in one direction, and I'm not looking for bipolarity.
- I also don't want to watch a 45 minute retrospective that completely spoils the game.
Here's where I'm at:
- I just left the opening village and am now on the ground in what appears to be the first dungeon area.
What I don't like so far:
- The visuals
- Motion controls and motion control substitutes.
- Fi
What I like so far:
- Groose
- The pissy little cat that attacks you until you beat it into timidity.
