Skyward Sword: Game-breaking bug

[BrightNeko]

anyone fancy a fix maker for save files?

get a save and copy it
get past the part with bug with a save
cause the bug and save
then upload both
compare save files
copy difference into patch

BAM!
people apply patch to save to progress

I doubt it would work.

When you reach a point in the game, you can do three things in a random order (or not with this bug). If you talk to someone before you do the other things, you're stuck and cannot continue. People past the bug point would've done these things beforehand so it would mean actually skipping points in the story if you have the bug and want to continue.

Youtube or someone makes a save right before hand and spreads it around. (which seems the better thing to do)

Stop trying to justify Nintendos mistake - nobody should be forced to swap saves.

Nintendo needs to realize that patches are essential. I support Nintendo when they pick gameplay over graphics because that's how a game should be, but not in this case. A patches system needs to happen, if not on Wii, atleast on WiiU.

In fairness its a decent solution to a problem which should never have existed.

This isnt justifying the mistake, its helping those that have encountered it.

I'm justifying nothing just offering solution ideas.

I've been ninja'd!

And then Nintendo is not going to fix that bug so easily, because the Wii dosn't have a "game patch/update" feature. Or does it ?

People can bitch all they want... in a game this large theres bound to be bugs. Skyrim ways what up, you'll deal with me, but this games gonna get flamed by all the Nintendo haters? Thats fair.

You're forgetting Nintendo can't patch their games, unless you want to mail in your SD card like with Metroid.

Also who is 'flaming' in here?

Actually, Nintendo can't even do that. When you mail in your card they replace that save with a generic one that is in roughly the same spot. There is a very good chance you will be missing some stuff like energy tanks and missile expansions. You might as well just request a save in the forums or check the gamefaqs save section.

It's unfortunate that while games these days are increasing in game-play quality, quality of game testing has gone down. The ability to patch games is just making it worse because it means that company become mores lenient when a game is not quite stable.

 

[NaokiKitsuhine]

If i'm not wrong, in this part of the game, Golo is located in the Mine Entrance, the first place you go when you visit lanayru... Who in the world will go all the way to the dragon and then back everything just to talk with him to see if he changes what he say? It's not a serious bug... and it need to be folowed exactly to be triggered, not serious.

I used to say the same, but honestly, most PS3 and Xbox 360 games don't have that many bugs. Some games do have a lot of bugs, but most have only a few minor ones that are solved pretty fast.

This bug wouldn't be hard to fix with a patch. If this was a PS3 or Xbox 360 game, it wouldn't be a huge issue at all. But now, some gamers are going to be really frustrated.

I know Nintendo offered replacement discs with the Super Paper Mario issue. I'm not sure what they'll be doing in this case. I don't think the Twilight Princess bug ever got fixed.

 

[junkerde]

yeah, idk why skyward sword was so hyped up 10/10 anyways. crap like this happens.

they will release a new bug fixed version just like they did with Twilight Princess v1.02 (fixed the bug, blocked the twilight hack and added the missing languages to the ntsc version)

 

[Clarky]

still suprised me that the game leaked about 2 weeks before its release and nobody found the bug then? still gives people excuses to bitch

Why does that surprise you? You have to do unnecessary, out of the way, what seems to be pointless things in a specific order which no one would do on purpose in order to crash the game. I agree that there will be people who will start bitching about how Nintendo is bad at everything they do (speaking of which, where's Guild?) but you can't help that, everyone is a little biased against something (especially in the gaming world).

 

[Adr990]

that would be awesome if the goron installed the hbc by accident.

No seriously....


Anyhow, what is the reason the game actually messes up when you talk to that goron?
I guess we can say because it's a big game, we should not go to hard on Nintendo.
I know there are other big titles, but those most of the time need you to do a quest or level in a specific order.

Well with the 3DS, they're finally able to patch games so that's not a problem anymore.

it shows bad quality control
when you release big name games like this and they all contain game breaking bugs and there is nothing you can do to fix them unlike every other system where patches can be deployed, and all nintendo has to say is deal with it

Because an 100+ hour 3D game is supposed to be flawless and bug-free.

 

[AaronUzumaki]

Well, if Call of Duty for Wii can download patches, I don't see why this can't.

Did you even read the thread?

DON'T DO THIS NEXT PART! IF YOU DO, BETTER PLAY THE SONG OF TIME!!!!
Before doing the other two parts of the quest, speak with GOLO THE GORON.
At this point, the next two quests will no longer occur, making it impossible to continue.

That's all you have to do. If you speak to him first and not last, your game is broke.
