Gaming Skyward Sword: the aftermath

[mrpinkeye]

it looks and sounds like zelda

but

levels are just one long dungeon crawl, lacks exploration of a large world that was fun in OOT
gimmiky m+ controls where not needed
even sword swinging usually results in me just waving my arm around until something dies!
iv gotten to some areas where i need a shield but mines broke, i thought zelda games made sure i had everything
im not standing up everytime i want to roll a bomb
id like to use the nunchuck stick to fly a bird/beetle
i find it REALLY REALLY hard and follow a walkthrough most of the time. how do kids play this!?

*score is not needed

6/10

Feel free to discuss what you think was right or wrong about the game
but the next person I see scoring the game like they're the end-all-be-all of game reviewing is out the fucking door!

Which is not the only reason why I think you are trolling.

it's you who needs to figure out how REAL LIFE works
you idiotic zelda fanboyz just won't learn i'd love to continue this debate but guess what i've got better things to do like play anno 2070

I like your hilarious cop out. I was just about to go into debate mode too... Might as well refute your existing arguments while I'm here. One point off per thing you don't like, huh? Nice system. Unfortunately, it only works forgames that are equally divided into 10 components, and only then if you don't dislike anything else. See the problem is, games have more than 10 things in them. Say you watch a brilliant, classic movie. There's 100 scenes in the movie. See, Bladexdsl didn't like some of the scenes in this movie. Didn't like 3 of them? 7/10. Didn't like 7 of them? 3/10. Didn't like 10 of them? 0/10. All the other ones were brilliant. 0/10.

But go ahead, by all means use your XD smileys, post reaction images outside of an image board, and dodge providing any actual points by repeating "fanboyz" fanboyz" "fanboyz" in every other sentence. It won't make you any more right, though.

Edit: Added Zs to 'fanboy'

Well there is a certain knee jerk reaction most people have whenever you dare to say anything bad about Zelda, i've seen it tons of times, no matter how valid your criticism is at the end of the day people just call you a troll. Like that's somehow a counter to everything they've said. Personally I don't agree with the subtracting of points for one thing that bothers you... I give it 7/10 because a LOT of things bother me (at least 15 things bother me), but I still enjoyed the game which is why it gets a 'good' score.

I always laugh when someone looks at 7/10 and thinks the game has to be bad to get it, no - there's many degrees of good. 7/10 is good, 8/10 is better, 9/10 is amazing 10/10 is awesome.

and like others have said the reviews on metacritic aren't going to change just because a few of us or even I don't like it as much as the rest of you, I don't know why people are so sensitive and defensive.

"Goddamn I'm sick and fucking tired of this argument over opinions!"
Most things people say are opinions and most arguments are over opinions, you can't get away from that, you just can't. I could say that is just your opinion but you have the power to do something about it don't you? Just sayin'. If you adopt this policy for real you'll be annoyed a LOT.

Anyone else think the last boss was a bit crap/short? Don't get me wrong he looked the part but it just felt a bit easy?

The fight was epic. But very easy once you figured it out. It was also short. I still have to rate it one of the best encounters simply because it was FUN and the surroundings looked awesome.
... Although it was clearly a ripoff of Xenoblade. (the scening)

Thank you.
Opinions are fine and people cant agree on everything - but dont start acting like a crybaby when someone disagrees with you (blade...)

It is Metroid Zelda in some ways, like a reviewer stated somewhere and i certainly agree.
