OOoooh, and now he says it's the OTHERS that are saying bullshit (Regurgitating PR, as he says) when they say you can't waggle in the game or you'll die.

(The other dude adds: "Almost to a point where it's the only way (to waggle to win)".)

Well, for the bats and blobs yes. (And ultimately when you do a successful parry, but still...)

 

[The Awesomest]

This is an honest question to every single person out there, how on earth can you place an opinion (or even an impression) of the game when you are this early? I don't care if it's positive or negative for the love of god have patience.

This is not my impression of the entire game. Lord no. I wouldn't ever do that. What I've given is my impression of the game up until that point. It's what I think of the game so far. It's subject to and likely to change.

Spoiler

I did the same. Unfortunately I found the little fucker sitting curled up licking itself in one of the professors chairs later in the game.

Spoiler

Yeah, once it sees you it just gets up and follows you around with the creepiest look on its face...

 

[PhoenixSFT]

indeed. when i figured that out, i was like "holy shit this is fucking cool" lol. im trying so hard to play this without any kind of consultation since it just feels so good when you figure it out

i died so many times fighting skulltulas. forgot where i heard it, but every new fight is a puzzle, which i love and hate at the same time haha

Yeah, the skulltulas took me a minute to figure out. Unfortunately it looks like my Wii's GPU is dying, so I may have to put SS on hiatus

 

[Vire]

Came out on the 18th in Europe, plus some got it early.

Fun stuff ahead.

Ah that would explain it. You guys are still crazy.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Just beat the 5th dungeon. The boss was pretty cool, but a little easy. Music was amazing.
Calling it a night, hoping to beat it tomorrow.

 

[Varion]

How did some of you guys beat it already isn't it supposed to be 30 hrs long or whatever?

Get a day before the European release from ShopTo in the UK, play 10-14 hours a day. It's just addictive like that, I have no regrets. Or shame. Final playtime was 61:44 doing everything there is to do.

God, Ancient Cistern is the motherfucking boss of dungeons in this game

It also has the best boss in the game for that matter. Loved that fight so much, that second half.

Seriously, who cares what they're saying? You could be using this time playing the game?

 

[Zekes!]

Dat 3rd dungeon

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Yeah it's probably my favorite as well...that and the fifth dungeon's boss.

I was taking a break. (My last sessions was 2 hours long, c'mon.)

 

[ivysaur12]

I want this game, yet have no time. Grr.

 

[Foxix Von]

I'm really still just starting still, maybe 3 hours in or so but is Fi literally spoiling the whole experience for anyone else, or is it just me?

 

[06nbarnhill]

I am enjoying it. Probably 1/3 of the way in.

That said. I really prefer twilight princess......this game just feel clunky....and while its beautiful I don't FEEL the games art like I did Princess. I do enjoy the bump in combat difficulty though. Spin and finishing attack controls are dumbass. I also despise that I can't run and slash my sword. Two steps forward with controls and 1 step back.

And Midna kicks fi's ass. What a worthless, trash, throwaway, pathetic excuse for a character.

 

[Divvy]

Weaksauce!

 

[Easy_D]

Sweet. My nunchuk breaks, I get a new one today to play Zelda. "PLEASE INSERT NUNCHUK IN YOUR WII REMOTE CONTROLLER". Yeah screw you. The Nunchuk works just fine in other games. That's what I get for buying a used one.

Obviously I pick out the one used controller that is actually official Nintendo brand just to be on the safe side and the dude at the counter picks out some 3rd party trash. :\ I didn't notice until I got home! Oh well, I'll just have to go and return/change it tomorrow and hope for better luck.

It SHOULD be covered by the warranty.

 

[F#A#Oo]

bbbzzzzrt move out of my way Master Short Pants...lol

For Tom: "Every Zelda after Ocarina of Time is a 7.5/8."

I don't give a fuck what any reviewers say.

Stop playing Skyward Sword now and try to replay TP. I dare you.

 

[Kandinsky]

Post that stuff in the review thread maybe? please?

 

[jackdoe]

Got in another hour but stopped due to frustration with forward thrust unresponsiveness in Skyview Temple. Wanted to throw my controller at my TV. After I've had time to cool off my anger, I'll probably go back to it.

 

[Varion]

Yeah it's probably my favorite as well...that and the fifth dungeon's boss.

Yeah the fifth dungeon boss was another fantastic one. I love how it

Spoiler

even threw out the idea of fighting the boss in the boss room with that whole section where you're heading for the deck while the tentacles are busting in through the walls and a storm's raging outside.

Really memorable fight.

 

[BY2K]

I'm done anyway. They stopped talking about the "bad" stuff.

 

[06nbarnhill]

I don't think it will change.

TP was my first Zelda game....easily my favorite game of all time.

Everyone else - OoT

Me - TP

Am I the only one who doesn't seem to have trouble pulling off a forward thrust? I've read so many complaints about this but I've never had an issue with it. In fact a lot of the time I do forward thrusts by accident.

What am I then? I hold Wind Waker closest to my heart (So far, can't tell if Skyward is good, damn you 3rd party shitchuk)

 

[Slurpy2k20]

Stop playing Skyward Sword now and try to replay TP. I dare you.

TP was an utterly fantastic game, so I think its just a matter of opinion. It was absolutely epic in terms of dungeons, bossfights, etc. and also incredibly original. I'll never understand the hate it got.

 

[06nbarnhill]

What? No.

Lol I was just saying that for everyone whose first Zelda experience was OoT that will always BE Zelda. Whereas for me its Twilight Princess.

 

[marc^o^]

Skyward Sword is kind of like delicious chocolate enrobed in shit.

For the total body of your work, I'm pleased to add you on my ignore list.

 

[Laughing Banana]

I don't care what everyone else say:

For me, as per now, Skyward Sword >>>> Ocarina of Time

 

[Varion]

Never had any problems with it either, I only use them when I have to but I can't remember any occasion where I haven't pulled one off right when needed.

I've never had any trouble with any of the sword controls though, except for skyward strikes getting interrupted in the middle of charging in battle sometimes.

No... Majora's Mask is my favourite, with Link's Awakening and A Link to the Past following closely behind...

My first Zelda was The Legend of Zelda. It certainly is not my favourite Zelda title. Edit: Ohhhh, okay, you clarified.

 

[TheExodu5]

Just ordered a $30 Bluetooth adapter. Let's hope that does the trick. Looking forward to playing this properly over the weekend, assuming it fixes my lag woes.

For the total body of your work, I'm pleased to add you on my ignore list.

[GWX]

TP is underrated, the latter dungeons are just awesome.

It's true, but it's a chore until you get there. Skyward Sword is a much nicer experience overall. I just entered the second dungeon, and it has been an amazing ride so far. I haven't been this engaged so early while playing a Zelda title.

 

[06nbarnhill]

damn you 3rd party shitchuk)

lol....I have a nunchuck that always constantly goes backwards and NEVER forwards on TP and ONLY TP........annoying as hell since I only have one and am poor.

 

[Divvy]

I'm done anyway. They stopped talking about the "bad" stuff.

Remember that this is the site that was outed for basically taking bribes to give good scores. So yeah, who cares what they have to say.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

How did some of you guys beat it already isn't it supposed to be 30 hrs long or whatever?

Many people got it early due to people leaking the streetdate and Europe got the game on Friday.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Christ, the controls are a gummy mess. Fucking motion control. Five years on and it's still a gimmick. This generation can't end soon enough. I never thought I'd see the day when three new Zelda games in a row would be mediocre. This is not trolling; this is despair.

 

[BY2K]

Are you talking about that one review of Kain and Lynch that got what's-his-face fired?

Yep.

 

[BurntPork]

The CRT I was planning on playing this on now has a yellow tint. My life is over.

 

[robot]

3 hours in and so far so good. Thank god they let you hide that hud, I almost threw up when I first started. Music is fantastic, love the art style and some of the character designs are awesome - the 3 bullies in town especially. Does choosing different responses provide anything interesting besides a different follow up line from the npc?

Would've much rather had a traditional controller to play with instead but I say that about almost every other Wii game. Actually wish I was able to get the LE since I'm playing with the motion plus attachment and it's kinda annoying having that extension on there. Might go pick up a wiimote plus, too bad it wont be gold though. Sniff sniff.

Am I the only one Avatar vibes from the whole bird concept and Cortana vibes from Fi's character? Kinda shallow comparisons but I couldn't help think it.

 

[GWX]

I won't have the trouble to quote every single one, but... These people that have problems with the controls: you are doing it wrong. It's the only way. You guys aren't trying hard enough to master the control skin.

 

[Lucentto]

My copy of the special edition shipped from Amazon, with a free $10 credit code. Thank you Amazon, you have reminded me why I love you.

 

[Knux-Future]

I never finished OOT (My sister did most of the heavy lifting back in those days) so the first Zelda I really beat on my own was WW. I love it but only if I don't think about the tri-force quest(I actually took a long break from the game because of that shit). as for TP, I think I look at with higher regard due to it being the first Wii game I really played.

First game on any new system you buy is always good no matter what...luckily I'm normally good with that. (Genesis was Sonic 2, N64 was Mario 64, PS1 was Marvel Vs Capcom, GC was Smash Bros Melee, Dreamcast was SA2, and Wii was TP) PS3 was the only downone as I got Nba street 4....but I was broke.

So I'm not a big Zelda guy in terms of what I should be but hey as long as the game is fun I don;t care about scores....I'm actually hyped since I haven't really kept up with this and the stuff I did see...I forgot.

So we will see.

 

[jackdoe]

Bullshit about the lack of effort. I'm trying my hardest to get it to work which makes it all the more frustrating when it doesn't work.

 

[06nbarnhill]

No amount of rationalizing will make the decision to make spin attack require you to swish BOTH the remote and nunchuck not suck.

My problem may be that I am trying to play with hand on lap like I do in most Wii games......idk

 

[TheExodu5]

The controls work a certain percentage of the time. Sometimes, it misinterprets my motion. The faster I go, the quicker it loses calibration and the more chance it has to misinterpret my motion. A button press would be better, plain and simple.

 

[Knux-Future]

Bullshit about the lack of effort. I'm trying my hardest to get it to work which makes it all the more frustrating when it doesn't work.

I don't have it so fuck what I say but it kinda have to be on your end if some aren't haven;t that much problem.

There might be a very specific way to play it or something. Hope I don't have the issues some of you are having.

lol perhaps there are too many cellphones in your room /Miyamoto e3
