Yeah, Gear 5th makes him magnitudes more powerful. He can now make the environment around him rubber, and he pretty much has Looney Tunes-inspired power. He can do whatever he thinks of in battle when he is in this form.
Yeah, he can basically warp reality around him with this power. In-universe it's portrayed as a Looney Tunes character.

Yeah, I think somehow they made it worse than in BotW, lol. There, the base Master Sword without DLC had the same parameters, but doubled the attack and durability against malice-affected enemies like Guardians and the entirety of the Divine Beasts, which gave it a lot of usefulness.

Here it only gets infinite durability against the final boss and just a 15+ attack boost towards Gloom enemies.

The scenes with the ghosts are bad, people not reacting to the ghosts is just awkward.
I just want to point out that they are invisible to anybody else unless they came into contact with Aerith. People being able to see them spreads like a virus, essentially. Cloud didn't see them until the very moment he touched her, other party members don't see them unless they come into contact with Cloud afterwards, which is why Rufus could see them but Tseng could not.

Regardless it doesn't matter now since they're all gone.

Ah but a previous poster claimed we aren't talking money. So which is it? Because whether commercially or critically, the MCU now is on par with its previous phases sans 3.
Yeah. Like, people bashed Thor Love and Thunder, but aside from the annoying screaming goats joke that got reused it seemed like any other normal MCU movie to me. My perspective isn't clouded by nostalgia either, I started watching the entire MCU after the second Tom Holland Spider-Man movie came out. And out of all those movies there were only a few that stood out to me. Phase 3 was its peak for sure.

I think there's a bit of nostalgia going on because the concept of a developing cinematic universe was seen as unique at the time, so part of wanting to go see these movies was seeing how things are starting to connect. Now after all that buildup culminated to Endgame, a lot of people lost interest in the interconnected stuff and saw that as the finale. Now people are starting to see how shallow a lot of these movies are.

Essentially they use a workaround so that they can pay the people less. They have a system in place where they pay around 88% of WGA rates to the people involved in a show during its first three seasons. Any seasons afterwards, they have to pay 100% of rates. So, they either cancel outright or "reboot" popular shows as technically different shows so they can avoid this.

So yeah, 3 seasons is the magic number for a popular Disney show.

Thanks for the opinions everybody.

Quick question about Skyward Sword HD for the Switch, does it also have forced motion controls, or did they implement a full standard controller scheme for this one for the remake?
The HD version does have an option for more standard controls. They change it so that the sword is controlled with the right stick.

I'm one of the people who didn't really hate Skyward Sword. I thought it was pretty good, mostly because I didn't have an issues with the motion controls not working. One of the weaker titles in the franchise, but still worth playing, IMO.

In terms of things to do it's certainly better than BotW to me. But, for some reason they also decided to add onto the grindiness that was already sorta prevalent in BotW. Armor upgrades now require a money payment every single time which means you'll be spending tens of thousands on Rupees on them, subsequently sellables are now worth less. The process of increasing your Zonai magic meter has an unnecessary extra step by forcing you to convert Zonaite into Zonai charges. You could also just defeat bosses in the Depths for...20 charges each when you need 100 per battery segment? Yeah...it's time consuming either way.

I think it's still heavily worth playing. It has many smarter game design choices than 2 has and I believe its characters are the best in the series just because of how much focus each of them has.
