So he gave an amazing game an average score because he can't get the controls to work? That's really dumb... but alright. Nothing I can do about it.

I'll just enjoy my game with the controls that work perfectly fine...

theres lots of other shit in this that makes it annoying and not feel like a zelda game. like the tear hunting for example there's also lots of other parts if you fuck up even just once you have to start the whole level from scratch. shit like that annoys me and it shouldn't be in a zelda game has nothing to do with it being hard it's not that hard but zelda was never like that! And fuck you don't even really explore anymore it just tells you to go from A to B without having to really explore like in previous zelda games b4 TP. everytime they make a zelda game now it's moving more and more away from how it used to be instead of great exploration, puzzles and secrets we get gimmicks, mini games and run and sword. it's clear to me now that miyomoto obviously has nothing to do with zelda games anymore you can see that his magic is just not in it.

Actually, he is a little right. The controls for Skyward Sword are just downright horrible. I have never seen anything so horribly done. There is no word mankind has or can even invent to describe this **** to be honest.

Nintendo shouldn't have used Motion Plus. Or they can do it, but they should have given us the option of Gamecube controller.

No offense, people says the game is harder than the others, but I doubt it actually is. Everytime I died, it was because of those terrible controls. Give me a gamecube controller and I'd have died like once.

Also, why make us center the damn camera all the time? This is actually another thing they did wrong. It could have easily been made to always stay centered.

I hate the controls, I just want to chilax and enjoy Zelda but I have to fight the controls that temperamental, inaccurate, laggy and just plain tiresome.

Classic control support would have been beautiful.

i can honestly say i don't agree with the both of you. the controls work great and if you don't like them or suck at them don't whine about the game sucking if you just suck at it. the controls are fine if not great the way they are.

lol..the only argument fanboys have for the bad control is..."because you suck at it".
funny stuff

So there's people out there that don't like the same game you do, so what?

They blame it on the controls, which for some reason doesn't work for them, while it works perfectly fine for the rest.

IF there isn't a problem with the hardware itself, then where else could the problem lie? It can't be the game itself, as right now, only the PAL version has been released/leaked, and EVERYONE currently playing SS is playing that version. In fact, I'm willing to pirate it myself just to see if the problem exists at all, and I even have one of the earliest WM+ modules to try it out.

That's a pretty dumb argument.
example:
Skyrim for the PS3 have a save problem, some say after 25-30 hours there's lots of lag, while most don't experience that problem, some does.
by your logic it must mean they suck at saving games.

um.....no

Alright, you win this round, but my earlier post (not the one you quoted) still stands. Everyone who is playing it is either playing a legitimate version of the game, which is only the PAL version, or everyone is playing a pirated version, which could very well be the source of the "controls don't work" syndrome.

Actually, that logic would dictate that the PS3, not the player, sucks at saving.

how did you come to that conclusion?
it's only happening with skyrim.

it's like saying the Wii sucks at motion control, not SS or the player.

Sorry, I should have said the PS3 version of the game would suck at saving the data. I say that under the assumption of what was given. If it only affected certain individuals, then it could be the PS3, but under the same assumption as I depict with SS and Wiis using mods, hacks, etc.

I'm sticking to my point that people that have problems with controls are just bad at video games.

Let's see, it works for some but not for others but in regards to skyrim it's the game's fault but with skyward sword it's the player..man I will never understand the logic of a fanboy.
It works for everyone, but a lot of people are bad and cant grasp movement, so they claim it doesn't work.

Thats what makes it worse, the game its self is brilliant it just that the controls make it a chore to play which brings down the over all experience.
