Skyward Sword

[don't let's]

At first I didn't know that you could go faster while walking on ropes or crawling.

i don't have the ability to swim yet, but flying and walking on ropes aren't all that hard imo

but whenever i try to do a vertical slice, link's motion usually ends up being slightly diagonal and it doesn't register as vertical at all

[Nyerp]

can you charge your skyward strike at least??????

can you charge your skyward strike at least??????

that's one of the hardest and least responsive parts of the control scheme lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yes, that usually doesn't give my any trouble

it's really just vertical slashing

For me, the stab motion rarely works and gives me the most trouble. The skyward charge sometimes needs to be tried a couple times and the tightrope seems rather off, although they're both much more manageable.

Swimming, flying (including beetle), and basic slashes usually work fine for me except the rare times when the main calibration completely screws itself up.

Swimming was literally the only motion-control part of the game that gave me any real sort of trouble.

[Nyerp]

swimming was okay, i didn't have too much trouble with it

swimming, bird flying, and beetle flying all have the exact same controls though

I just completed the Sandship, and despite that dungeon being easy, it's my favourite so far. So I haven't completed the game yet but I can give a quick review on how I feel about it.

[spoiler]I really do enjoy the game. In fact, I like it a lot more than its predecessor. However, I do find the motion control weak at some points, especially flying. I hate flying mechanics in almost every modern game I play, and this one seriously gives a good example of why I do. For every one of those three portals that link you from the sky to either Faron Woods, Eldin Mountain, or Lanayru Desert, it seems it takes you such a long time for you to travel back to Skyloft (whenever you need to return from the ground and onto your bird). Why? Because every time I'm out of boosts and I'm heading towards land, my bird fucking stops flying forward and remains flapping its wings in the same position, not moving, forcing me to raise my bird higher and dive it down to land, just for acceleration. Another problem I find is turning and positioning. I try to turn away from twisters in the sky, but my bird ends up fucking up the turn and hitting it anyway. As well, sometimes I fuck up whenever I'm flying into the green portal that takes you to the Thunderhead because the positioning is brutal.[/spoiler]

Other than that, I do enjoy the environment and gameplay of the game. It's basically the same format as any other Zelda game, which I don't mind. I really don't care for the cel shaded graphics, but as long as I can see what's happening in the game, I'm good. The replay value, which is very important to me, seems to be very high. I'll end up playing it again sometime in the future after I beat it. I still have to beat it to get a full opinion on it.

i got to the desert

i should play this game mor

[Mando Pandango]

swimming, bird flying, and beetle flying all have the exact same controls though

but swimming is in water which behaves differently, i guess

[Travis]

but swimming is in water which behaves differently, i guess

i think it's in your mind

[Mando Pandango]

nah man, dem fluid dynamics and shit

water behaves differently than air

[Nyerp]

you don't have to worry about your fucking bird slowing down in water
