Skyward Sword review thread [Newest Reviews - Cubed3 10/10, GC: A, AusGamers: 7/10]

These next few weeks is going to be painful waiting for this game.

Have they said anything about multiple tunics? That would've been so cool with the upgrade system, you can customize how your link looks.

I know his green one is legend, but I wouldn't mind a different looking link.
 
Minor spoilers in the Edge review, proceed with caution.

(I've been on a media blackout since E3, but now I know about
pirate ships
, fuck.
 
The analogy Edge makes between SS and Indiana Jones really caught my eye. As well as saying that this is a game 'made for Christmas Day'. That's EXACTLY how I'd characterize my current favorite Wii game, Super Mario Galaxy. Just pure untethered fun. Sounds amazing.

I'm looking as well. Maybe the Vita vs. 3DS IGN thread but I think there were even stupider/inflammatory statements made than what BurntPork was saying.
 
Apparently the next GTTV (this Thursday) is all about Nintendo and features some info and footage of Skyward Sword. This was news to me lol.

Edge review thread probably? He said Mario 3D land getting an 8 meant it was the worst mario ever and that the 3DS was dooomed with only mario kart as a must have title for the holidays. It wasn't that surprising coming from him but it was probably the accumulation of batshit insane posts that got him banned again.

Pretty sure it was after he overreacted to the Mario Land 3d edge score

They gave it a 8, no? How is that something to overreacted about?

Well...

BurntPork said:
So SM3DL is the worst 3D Mario ever....

Well, looks like 3DS won't be going anywhere anytime soon. If MK7 doesn't make up for this, 3DS will have zero must-have games in its first year, making it the worst game system in over a decade.

Then you have all the people going crazy about UC3 getting an 8 from Eurogamer. And I'm pretty sure any big game coming up getting less than 9 and 10 will get that kind of crazy poster too.

Hah. To be fair, the complaints put towards Mario are fair. When I got to play it, the slow running speed made it feel really strange in my mind. It's weird, because that's the thing that Nintendo has always gotten right.

Isn't he just a kid? He'll grow out of it..........right?

Mario moves faster than 3d Mario and slower than 2d Mario but in a smaller space. I don't think it'll be a problem. (And Edge complains about slow WALKING SPEED anyway).

I'm pretty sure he is. He talked around being grounded for some major game release before and it took everyone a minuet to remember what "grounded" meant.
 
...poor BurntPork with no way to defend himself... BP isn't that bad at all, to me it seems he just posts what he thinks unfiltered and biased to his own perspective. Overall though even though he could overreact he wasn't a bad member, then again I've been posting for a long time so I've seen some real idiots in my day.

But on Zelda, anybody think they'll talk about particular environment/level/control designs that stood out as really special?

Oh I have not read the reviews and I never played the game so I'm not saying it's wrong in any way. But the way BurntPork reacted to a game getting an 8 from one single review is hilariously crazy.

Uh, that was me, and I'm in middle school. In fact I'm in school right now.

All I want from this game are orchestrated remixes of some tunes from LA, OOA/OOS, and the MC (especially referring to the Cloud Tops music)

I know Yakota said he picked some of his favorites from past Zelda games to Orchestrate for this. There's no way to know for sure if any tracks from those games made it but it would be nice.

Didn't he say he was too old to have nostalgia or some shit?

EDIT:
burntpork said:
It can't, since I'm too old to have nostalgia related to games...

Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm...I'm not sure.

I don't get this. Just because you're too old to be grounded doesn't mean it becomes a foreign word. Oh well...

They were joking, really.

Ah, see that makes more sense.


I also don't understand how you could be too old to have nostalgia for games. Some of you people confuse me.
 
Alright, looks like this thread is gonna get pretty dangerous on the spoiler side of things. See you folks in the OT!

EDIT: When that gets made, I mean.
 
Finally got around to reading Edge's review... they seriously have a way with words that puts them head and shoulders above other gaming journalists. What a glorious review, and the wait just got that much harder for me. =(

Yeah the writing style is really something else. I can't believe "kitbag" is a word.

I got a chill reading the Edge review. It's not really spoiler-y, but it does mention some of the enemies, areas, and items. The item upgrade system was their one minor quibble.

Locations spoilers. But no story spoilers at all. (Unless the review on the website isn't the full review.)

I dunno, there was one bit that I kind of regret reading, but it wasn't specific.
 
FUUUUCK I am torn about this game. On the one hand, ONM says it's easier than Twilight Princess, which is horrifying. On the other hand, the Edge review makes it sound amazing.

SO TORN

Nothing to be torn about.

Buy it, play it, complete it, play it again.

Edge makes it sound like it only get easy if you upgrade your items. Apparently the game was balanced with the base items in mind. Makes me wonder if the upgrade system was a late addition.

Mario Galaxy was easy too. Like some dude said, I don't play Zelda to die, and there's always one puzzle that makes you go 'wtf?'. It's like a tradition for the series, haha.

Buy it.

Who's doing the OT? I fear you have a big project in store, don't let us down!

Amirox is doing it. He's said he isn't going overboard with it because a big multi post OT isn't worth it.
 
I was not excited for this until recently.. I enjoyed Twilight Princess.. but not as much as previous entries in the series.

I'll have to pick this up afterall.. day one.
