it would be really cool to explain what part or what is wrong with motion control

If there is nothing wrong with motion controls and you merely dislike the idea, then this is an subjective and thus invalid complaint.

For me i thought Metroid Prime 3 was cool, the aiming was superb without motion plus. Zelda however has so many problems with it's alignement and calibration.

If you dislike motion controls because of the known bugs then that's valid reason obviously.

Zelda started going downhill with Ocarina of Time. Nintendo just became too stuck in the past.

If you're having fun with it, be my guest. For me... next thing would be working a sweat in front of the telly

Zelda's not my thing at all. My 12 year old who has a wii might like it but he's still on pokemon Black or white or whatever its called.

I'm a grown man with a wife and children, and I'm looking forward to playing Skyward Sword. The first game that ever had me enthralled was The Legend of Zelda, and there is no way I'll be changing my mind about the greatness of the series just because the graphics of it has changed. I have a strong feeling that the ones complaining about the LoZ are gamers that were born in the mid nineties and never were able to experience the evolution of the series. I also don't understand why people can't enjoy one game just because they like another. Maybe I'm too old to get it now.

Still, Zelda is a much harder game than Skyrim and Zelda actually have good puzzles that requires thinking.
Skyrim is streamlined to the max.

Never played any zelda games. Whats the big attraction with the new one?

After Wind Waker, Zelda ceased to be Zelda for me. No way I'm ever going to play Skyward Sword.

You need to drop the nostalgia glasses.

Always thought it was just childish rubbish to be honest. Just my opinion of course.

bought wind waker way back for the cube and couldn't believe how boring, childish, and easy the game was. never finished it. can't stand it.
i don't play handheld or 2d games and i don't play epic, single player rpg's for their "puzzles."

Your fault for buying the wrong game then.

My brother said the game looks like Zelda.

Cheers

buying a game that i turned out to not like isn't anyone's "fault."

Wind Waker definetly wasn't the best in the series, and the cell-shaded graphics didn't help one bit. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have better art style, but they have always been pretty simple and naive games, it really is the way those games have always been and are supposed to be

The new games just don't seem like Zelda games to me. I played Twilight Princess, and it never once felt like a true Zelda game to me. I doubt SS will be any different.

I ahve the opposite problem. I want to play SS but I'm still caught in Skyrim, and I think I'm gonna replay BG and the older TES before.

Zelda will always be a 2D Handheld game for me and IMO does not work as a fancy 3D fully immersive world like Skyrim on a TV console, I stopped playing with the last GBA Minish Cap and Link To The Past, I will probally play Ocarina of Time on the 3DS though, i like its 'handheld' nature !!

Never been into Zelda...

Probably because I've never been into fairies and crap like that. I feel like its a blatant kiddies game just like Mario and Sonic and other Nintendo games.

That's how I feel too.

Who's Zelda? :s

I think it's Robin Williams' daughter.

I haven't had a console to play them since N64 and GBA, but they were excellent.

You do know it started life on a home console, the NES, and Link to the past was on the SNES first, Ocarina of time on N64 and Re released on Gamecube before it became a handheld port with a migrane inducing gimmick.

Games like this are exactly what "aren't" handheld experiences, they're much better at home on a big screen then on a train quickly trying to save before your stop or the battery dies. Or trying to angle the screen just right for 3D and sunlight. I could go on and on about this, it irks the hell out of me people blame Iphones for destroying the handheld gaming market when it's the handheld gaming market that has destroyed the games, suitablity and style of play is a rare thought over lets take our story our customers have been following on other consoles and shove it into a handheld because it has a touch screen we can use as a gimmick and be worse off for it.

If I had the time or money for another console i'd likely get a WII, I played the hell out of the 8 bit nintendo as a young'n and I still think that quite often Nintendo games are really well designed, even if the vibe is a bit kiddy. Certainly they deserve more credit than crap like endless Halo games and CoD.

QFT - the complainers are young kids, i started gaming before the first zelda, actually i started gaming with Dangerous Dave , Wolfenstein 3D , Keen (all of those were ID software titles on PC) then it just went on to DN3D,


I had a big pause from PCs , since my 2- very tech savvy friends were only with high end PCs back then, my father did not see PCs as a gaming machine so i didn't had a chance to do anything there except smaller games only a few times , the PC i got was not powerful enough for anything except AOE2 and Dune 2000 , actually i broken it down 2 times and the service repair actually under-graded the PC, once the PC came out of repairs i tried to launch AOE2 and i got the famous error: "the application must run in 256 color mode".

So my memory lane is strong but i have to search for it ... that PC things was all after 7 years of age since PCs were in the schools class room. But i think i started with an old SEGA or NES way before i was in school, like 4 years old, i used to have no idea about the name/

At home i had consoles mostly, N64 was my idea when i saw it randomly at some Metro or whatever it was in austria back in the 90', this decided the fate of why im a nintendo guy, i didn't even knew what it was, i was too young , i only looked at the thing as an "electronic device" - becaue naturally i liked stuff with electronics and wires, this was due to the environiment that i lived in presumably, grateful for it.

Ofcourse with this i found another firend with N64. To the other 2 PC friends i had at the time, this offered many great times in 4P multiplayer - ofcourse the PC friends had internet and i didn't so they were busy playing half-life, quake and other PC stuff from that time that i actually never knew about until later.

I can say that one of the biggest things that contributed to such thinking of mine was the fact that i cared to explore the histroy of the 90', i had a big strive to re-experience what was there that i missed - it was a great eyeopener - most of the current generation consumers rather spit out nonsense which they have no idea about, spoiled children, what can i say.

Most of the gamers of the new age are ignorants who follow what the industry throws at them, and they forget the past very fast. Blame Microsoft.This corporate opinion-spreading wasn't that powerful in the 90 atleast where i live - it also depends where you live. If you live in ads-infested places (particularly the west) then your mind suffers obviously.

And it's really sad to see the new generation so dumbed down.

Because i started gaming from 4 years of age is why im now an user that is everything but mainstream - i could go for industry anolyst in gaming because i really do handle it well in terms of keeping company legacy and history - with the skills of a gamer you can know what's going on when you are inside of the story, not reading a media-derivative story, for example the Activision Infinity Ward clusterfick , so much of it was spread across the articles of many sites , more than 50% of mainstream people do not know the full or correct story of the IW-Activision debockle - many different version of what happened - it's just research basically.

I learned more in 3 years than i ever, just because of the exponential effect of "helping your self" once i solved one problem my reasearch gone up, so i obviously broken the windows install a few times until now when i can't even make such mistakes since you become used to every detail, sort of ask my self when reading some forums "how the heck did he managed to do that" ... reading some post about how a guy crashed his hard drive .. wtf, probably C: > right click > format ... lol.


But i would have to go to financial school to be anolyst - which is something i don't rather want to learn beause i think it's boring, i get to the practise, throwing around numbers is never as effective as being present in the community, playing the game, reading the forums and understanding the community, you can't be an advanced user if you don't understand the practise, understanding the software as well as hardware of PCs is a huge plus and having that tech bakground can have such an impact of the quality of the anolysis. I could keep and talk a whole essay about this.


for example you can't cover hardware-news if you never build a custom PC for your self, it takes so many pluses - beware of some sites they throw inexperienced writers to do the articles - i call that web[censored].

You see stupid journalists tossing around about WiiU hardware where they don't even know what he heck is a "last-gen Radeon GPU" , for example ENGADGET has terrible quality of their tech articles, the claimed some werid things for WiiU as well as stupid predictions.

If you wish to know more on radeon GPU in the WiiU , search for similarly named article on Shacknews.com, and look the comments (the article it self tells us what other sites say but)

So sad that some lame ass journalists makes something up on his stupid site and every other media follows without their research. However shacknews has quality articles, Kotaku is the worst.
