Never played the original on Wii and I want to try it but there's just no way I'm shelling out 60 bones for it.
I'll wait for cheaper prices, new, used, whatever the case is.

Yesterday on Twitter, I said Skyward Sword is good and someone responded that I probably love Rush Limbaugh too.This revisionist history is so bizarre to me. Where is this "silent majority" who loved this game? How come they never turn up for these threads?
Then we agree!There's plenty to criticize about Skyward Sword, and people should definitely know what they're getting themselves into with it (heavy/nearly exclusive dungeon and puzzle focus, linear, integral collection and stealth sequences, backtracking, etc).
I really wish the Joy-Cons went up yesterday. I was refreshing every site like mad after the Direct but instead they just randomly go up in the middle of the day today unannounced so shithead scalpers can rob people.
Fucking thank you! The discourse about this game puts me off of any discussion. There are also people who say one should finally admit to the objective truth that the game is not only the worst mainline Zelda game, but just bad overall and only got good reviews because "Zelda". Otherwise, you are a stupid fanboy or you just like horrendous games.Yesterday on Twitter, I said Skyward Sword is good and someone responded that I probably love Rush Limbaugh too.
I don't talk with people who hate this game because it seems, to them, that anybody that likes it is deficient and bad somehow. It's not just a Twitter thing, it's not just a yesterday thing, I have long gotten tired of participating in the "WOW THIS GAME IS A WAR CRIME LMAO" discourse around it.
GameStop limited orders to one, and Best Buy did three.Damn, they are selling out fast AF. I think the issue is there is no quantity limit(at least not 1)so people buying a lot to resell maybe.

Tantalus Media.they did a great job with Twilight Princess HD.
Nah TWW is the worst 3D Zelda, that ocean was so awful, repetitive and boring. Art style is cute at times and makes me nostalgic, but I've got to admit the game is a bit crap.Skyward Sword is definitely the worst 3D Zelda. That said it isn't a bad game, just lacking overall with some frustrating design decisions.
I really enjoyed the dungeons in SS though, and those to me are the heart of Zelda. So I quite liked the game.
That said, I'm not repurchasing for $60. That's just laughable.
Skyward Sword is a genuinely great game. It just leans very heavily on the "dungeon" and "puzzle" aspects of the series, to the point that most of the overworld is essentially a giant outdoor dungeon. It has some pacing issues as well, but they're not deal-breakers. I highly recommend checking it out, you seem interested enough in the game.I've never played Skyward sword. I did play Twilight Princess. Since the Direct aired I've seen a large amount of sentiment like the following:
- They ported the worst Zelda
- So glad this can be played without the waggle.
- This game is too linear
I don't normally put too much faith in user comments I think the level of emotion people put into their opinions online distorts how true they actually are, but I can't help but see a lot of people focussing on the same set of flaws.
As someone that has never complained about 'waggle' (I presonally find most of its uses more immersive) and as someone who does'nt mind linearity in games. Can anyone anyone expand on what makes this game soo disliked? Is it a personal preference thing? Is it just some people with loud opinions? Or is it genuinely really bad?
Sorry, have to disagree. Wind Waker, as much as I like it, has only mediorcre dungeons imo and I don't like Twilight Princess art style and overworld.Skyward Sword is definitely the worst 3D Zelda. That said it isn't a bad game, just lacking overall with some frustrating design decisions.

Yep, I think that's the correct description. It's completely linear, with even the overwerld more a less a dungeon before the actual dungeon.Skyward Sword is a genuinely great game.

Otherwise maybe you missed the context of what I was replying to, but I'm not suggesting there aren't hyperbolic people, which of course happens with any major release that isn't as well received. Glad you gave SS a shot and enjoyed it. I plan to do the same in July.
I like mosing around Windfall Island but the rest of the game is rather boring outside that. It picks up when you visit the Tower of the gods.. underwater castle, meet ganon, but becomes boring again after that, until the final boss.It's insane how much heavy lifting the artstyle in WW does. Without it, there just isn't much there to celebrate.
I did like exploring the ocean more than Hyrule in TP, or whatever you call exploration in SS.
Yup, when I was kid and found about the old Hyrule, I thought that now the game will start. It actually became more boring and finished. My most disappointing game ever. It only has the looks.I like mosing around Windfall Island but the rest of the game is rather boring outside that.

That's BOTW for me as well, half full, half empty, depending on my mood. Great world, crap dungeons and underwheming story.Liking Skyward Sword or not is kind of an half full vs half empty glass matter.
If you absolutely loathe cheap, mandatory filler content like fetch quests, escort missions, forced backtracking, forced stealth missions, then it's just going to be one of the most obnoxious game you ever played.
If you don't mind about that then you'll like it because it has good dungeons and a lot of fun quality content as well.
That's about it.
I'd argue WW has the best music of the series, but that might just be me.It's insane how much heavy lifting the artstyle in WW does. Without it, there just isn't much there to celebrate.

Awesome. I'm actually interested in trying the motion controls again, but it'll be nice to have the button alternativeYeah definitely, I get what you're saying and where you're coming from. I was just kind of trying to support the idea that the more hyperbolic negativity has been, in my perception at least, much more prominent than maybe you had perceived.
I hope you enjoy it when you try again. I think with the change in controls, it will be a lot easier to push through the beginning and get to the meat of the game. There's a great cast of characters and some of the best dungeon and puzzle design in the series waiting for you.

Hoping for those obvious QoL improvements, too. Should be a lay-up for Nintendo but they often miss those.
