Skyward Sword was an okey game, I don't really get the hate. Is it because of the motion controls?

Bretty gud game m8, they were probably thinking "This is fun!" or something.

Fi's annoying though

>>387702451
No different from any other Zelda really. They're all shit.

you no what i honestly miss the motion controls

>>387703136
Same

>endless tutorials, litearlly 50 hours of tutorialing

>dungeons are shit
>backtracking for large parts of the game

>We have to justify this hardware somehow

>>387703494
>dungeons are shit

>>387702451

They didn't want to make an overworld.

>>387703494
So every Zelda from OoT to SS. Be honest with yourself.

Best art style in Zelda games. Also, they could remaster it on Switch.

>>387703494
>dungeons are shit
Trash opinion

...they make a great game? What are you implying OP?

>>387703719
>Best art style in Zelda games.
The hideous pastel color palette for this is actually the primary thing that's kept me from playing it aside from the waggle controls, actually.

the game was good.

>better motion controls
>hero mode avaiable from the start
Would cum buckets

>>387702451
game actively interferes with you playing it to remind you of thing you just did and just learned.

>hey that thing you got. 99% probability of thing being what you need to do. 99% chance of that thing you did being a thing you need to do.

>did you do thing, remember thing, do thing

>you got a blue(5) rupee thats worth five (5) rupees thats as many as 5 (five) green rupees

Be honest, though...you'd hit this, right?

I know I would. Her voice alone makes me diamonds

>>387703613
Honestly, this is probably accurate. They were having enough troubles getting it to work and really wanted to drop the gimmick, but Nintendo had hardware to sell.

>>387702559
Motion controls were pretty bad and weren't conducive to good gameplay nor was the gameplay resulting from them good even in their absence.
Gameplay+Narrative structure was bad.
Excessively handholdy.

what were they thinking making a console only to have a library like this?

>>387704104
>Motion controls were pretty bad
what game were you playing

They wanted to justify the motion controls, I guess at the expense of everything else.
They didn't even really do a good job with the combat since usually he enemy AI breaks if you simply don't lock on, so you can just flail to kill.

Otherwise, it was a fun game. I loved standing up and wagglin' about like a idiot. I would love another proper zelda game with wagglan' physics with no fucking hand holding, but plenty of fun dungeons with fun gimmicks.

>>387702559
i actually like the motion controls to an extent, but the game's content just sucked except for the last boss.

OH AONUMA STYLE

The bosses of 3/4 of this dungeons are bad but the dungeons itselves are very good and ones of the most original and great in 3D Zeldas.
Plus Koloktos is a God tier boss.

Actually my favourite zelda game and I loved the motion controls

>>387702451
Game is godawful.

The Zelda Cycle since OOT
>MM comes out
WTF THIS ISN'T OOT SHIT SUCKS
>WW comes out
WTF MM WAS GREAT THIS CARTOONY SHIT SUCKS
>TP comes out
WTF WW WAS GREAT WHERE'S THE ART STYLE? SHIT SUCKS
>SS comes out
WTF TP WAS GREAT SHIT SUCKS
BoTW breaks the trend at least

>>387706165
No one went back to say TP was good.

>>387704457
The Legend of Zelda: Calibration Sword

>>387706165
Who are you quoting. Also, nobody went back and said "WTF TP WAS GREAT"

So hard. Calibration never fucked up in battle anyway.

>>387704457
This game.
Swimming and Flying was unnecessarily uncomfortable without even any use put into the completely neglected analog stick.
Balance sections were basically impossible if the controls didn't feel like doing their job.
Ditched the more reliable pointer aiming for gyro aiming.
Selecting weapons was basically unused outside of slow as fuck enemies because it was so much more slow than the more tried and true method of tying a weapon to a button.
All the pointless sacrifices of speed, accuracy and comfort were made for this simplistic as fuck combat system where you've got 8 attacks + a stab but they all do the same thing. There's no independent thought even involved as every enemy will show you how you have to attack and they all just slowly approach you and you have to stand still to attack anyway. The gamecube controller could have been used to make a more complex and engaging combat system than this and these motion controls in general are a prime example of putting the cart before the horse.

>>387707246
Really didn't help. It worked for the gyro select menus and aiming, i.e. everything that the pointer did better without needing calibration, but basically nothing else.

They should've used resources on world building instead of motion controls and boring npcs in skyloft.

Wrong

it was alright, majoras mask is still my fav zelda game, it just has a creepy vibe too it, which I enjoy

>>387702559
Basically. /v/ babs can't into motion controls. They cry about "waggle physics" instead of gitting gud.
