Sorozone 12/27/11 9:21:00 PM #61:	From: PrivateBiscuit1 \| #059 To be fair, he actually has a point with that. Which is... painful to say. Not really. The 15 fairies aren't out of the way, and they were limited to dungeons, in a game that has a total of 4 dungeons and I beleive only one is actually needed to move onto the game(magic bar). MM has little to no backtracking unless you f* up, and have to start the days over again. Otherwise, you got your item you needed, and you lose out on bombs and arrows, something that can be easily replenished. Skyward Sword sends you to location A to find nothing, to location B to find nothing. Flying to other unnecessary areas, forcing you take flight again only to tell you to go over here, and be forced to find notes with the uncomfortable controls, to only receive the dowsing ability halfway through. -- - <cite>Sorozone posted [p:603050] in Skyward Sw...

PartOfYourWorld 12/27/11 9:29:00 PM #65:	Majora's Mask nails the intangibles. I love the atmosphere, the characters, the music, the sidequests, and just the overall feel of the game. It falters on the core level design. There's only four dungeons, and I don't much care for three of them. I also find many of the between-dungeon areas to be unspectacular, especially almost everything in Great Bay. Skyward Sword doesn't have music and side quests on par with MM, but imo, it surpasses it easily in terms of level design, both in the dungeons and outside. -- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see...

AlecTrevelyan006 12/27/11 9:59:00 PM #67:	I don't get why people hate dowsing. It's completely optional. Tap it once and it goes away. Then you can go find the scattered stuff like any other Zelda game. Dowsing just makes the fetching slightly easuer by telling you exactly where something is if you dowse from any two spots and draw a mental line straight in front of you from each lockon and find out where the lines cross. So the fetch quests can take slightly less time. This is really a problem? -- My one tangible contribution to LOST fandom and memes: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/7392/lapkatefix.jpg <cite>AlecTrevelyan006 posted [p:603056] in Skyward Sw...

No point in keeping the plot without those either. Why can't they just let us play without all this stupid filler. The problem isn't fetch questing, the problem is they are implementing filler into the fetchquest. Gotta find the guys crew, you go to his island, nothing there, you do an unnecessary cart mining thing with a reused boss. Gotta finish the last song, oh I know, let's needlessly throw a some craptastic swimming mini-game. Want to go visit the the Eldin dragon? Let's have you lose the majority of your items, so you can go fetch them again. I'm completely fine with fetchquests, I actually like the one that most people hate(triforce WW), but when they throw garbage at you for no reason other than to extend the game, and they come right after another, it's a problem. Pacing is by far the biggest problem in this game. Fetchquests can work, they just don't work all that well in this game and are mainly used to extend game-time, which is the worst thing it possibly can do. It also doesn't help that I am not a fan of Skyward Swords world at all. -- - <cite>Sorozone posted [p:603065] in Skyward Sw...

Like finding the Canine Warriors in Okami. That part managed to be good fun AND relevant to the story. But you could take every sacred realm and the giant swimming pool out of Skyward Sword and it wouldn't have affected anything at all. Those segments were put there just to pad the game time, which in turn appeals to the average "hardcore" gamer. -- Genesis does what Nintendon't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7nsBoqJ6s8 <cite>TomNook7 posted [p:603075] in Skyward Sw...

Takfloyd_mkII__ 12/28/11 5:34:00 AM #88:	Topics like this are the shame of the gaming community. When did good gameplay become "backtracking", "fetch quests" and "padding"? What went wrong? Set the clock to 10 years ago and nobody complained about this stuff. Today, people seem to start whining whenever a game lasts more than 5 hours or, dare I say it, requires you to go to the same location twice. Kids today would probably get a frothing seizure 20 minutes into Banjo-Kazooie. -- Signature change in progress... Please wait. <cite>Takfloyd_mkII__ posted [p:603077] in Skyward Sw...

firebotslash 12/28/11 12:50:00 PM #93:	Skyward Sword is similar to Metroid Prime in a lot of ways. Metroid Prime also has 3 worlds (Chozo, Phendrana, and Phazon Mines... Tallon Overworld can be Skyloft and Magmoor doesn't really count). It also involves a **ton of backtracking. It has one of the most annoying "filler" fetch quests I've ever seen in a video game. And you can't even dowse to find the artifacts. But no one complains about Metroid Prime. -- "Sorry pop music lyrics don't use ancient Hebrew religious imagery as an illusion to the class struggle in French Indochina as you grind on a girl." <cite>firebotslash posted [p:603082] in Skyward Sw...

Liquid Wind 12/28/11 2:28:00 PM #100:	artifact hunt was pretty bad but at least you can get most of them on the way to the end, it only really impacts the first playthrough negatively. that's the difference between the better metroid games and something like SS, they get even more enjoyable over time where SS really blows it's load on the first play and is dreadful to actually attempt replaying it, not worth the $70 to get one good playthrough of a game(lol forcing you to buy an accessory that no other games are using, and then the motion controls still aren't very good) <cite>Liquid Wind posted [p:603089] in Skyward Sw...
