I'm really disappointed

i was actually secretly hoping the zelda faaaaaaags would lose their shit over the reviews

but they're too uniform so there's no particular one they can focus on

i mean i guess the reactions to the 1up review are ok

i guess

egm's "twilight princess has better motion controls because you could just waggle" almost sparked a fire but it was extinguished by the overwhelming sense of cynicism and self-pity

nintendo fans at this point in the game are like bacteria, and reviews are penicillin; the old ones all died and only the more resilient "whatever, I didn't think they'd give a Wii game a 10" strain is left

And wtf at the unskippable movie in the beginning. That was really annoying.

i guess

Big_One on GAF is being a bloody cunt about TSA's comments.  I don't see a reason for it either. Its TSA.

I'm only reading the review thread scrounging for info about the game structure and mechanics, because otherwise I find the obsession with review scores disgusting.  No physical person I know irl gives a shit what i.e. Ebert thinks about something they are looking forward to*.  Its only something I encounter on the net.

*To be fair games are much more expensive than other forms of media, but even the gamers I know ever care this much about nitpickings.

mmm well i played up for 3 hours so far...

the first hour is mostly exposition and tutorial stuff,including the omnipresent guys who's at a higher place that tells you to press Z and A to talk with him,so really it's just kind of boring filler but i really like the cutscenes,they are animated really nicely and at least it goes down much much faster than twilight princess

hour 2 you finaly reach the forest,it's actualy pretty small and it really just serves as stuff to do before the actual dungeon,you find an npc and he ask you to find another 3 NPC which are hidden around the map,it's somewhat annoying but the sword can act as a dowsing rod that starts to vibrate when you point it near them which make finding them a little easier

hour 3 it's the first dungeon and it's the E3 demo dungeon with a few more room's added,so i don't really have much to say about it...

from what i said it would seems like i'm not liking it much but i'm actualy digging it,it looks and sounds really lovely... i went out of my way in the world map
spoiler (click to show/hide)
and i found a pub called "the lumpy pumpkin" there is all bar music and the bar owner is there washing dishes... and there is an heart container on top of a chandelier on top,the only way to reach the chandelier is to break it by smashing on the balcony and when you break it the owner goes all like :o and then get pissed at you,then the waitress start to call you "mighty knight,slayers of chandeliers" :lol
[close]

the merchant too,there is a general bazaar music but depending to what merchant you get close too the music change to his speciality so when you get close to the mechanic it changes to metallic sounds... there is one of them who has an horrible grin like :D on his face but when you refuse to buy stuff from him he goes all like >:(  :lol

one thing they did is removing the compass,when you find the map,the map also tells you the location of every chest AND switch

Yes but it seems like you get the option to change it about 90-120 minutes into the game. I'm not sure if you can change it earlier but it's in the gear screen on the lower left.

I'm about 4 hours in and about to go into the first dungeon (pretty inexcusable for it to take that long but this game's intro is much much more enjoyable than TPs, simply due to the music/presentation/overall story)

This game is already blowing my mind.  It's like a combination of the best attributes from ALttP, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker all in one game.  Pumm's Pub, holy fuck  :o

I just love every design aspect so far.  I quite like the bird, but I'd rather it be controlled with the analog stick, of course.  Other than that, motion controls have been nigh perfect for me.

So far, based on the last three Zelda games and the first four hours of each game, this one FAR eclipses the others.

If it's Battenhausen lol at what he thinks.

Otherwise every Zelda fan will have to play for themselves. I've heard people say MM or WW were the worst Zeldas they ever played (although the people saying it usually have only played the main console games.) Zelda's a weird series because it has so much in it, and everyone picks and chooses the parts they like best.

The problem comes when people say that the parts they like are "what Zelda is." Screw those guys.

Not a big fan of Majora's, but it was alright.  Windwaker is better than Zelda II and Spirit Tracks, but that's it.  And I've played them all, Andy.  Probably more than you. :smug

And it's Shane Satterfield.  Bettenhausen works for Sony now, haha.

Probably. When I get money I'll play them all. Being poor... :fbm

Hopefully MM gets a 3DS version.

well i finished dungeon number 2,you get into a volcano,blow some cracked walls and then the game send you on another dowsing fetch quest... i'm starting to fear that's going to be a pattern

dungeon 2 is full of lava,you ride on a giant stone ball but you control it with the analog stick instead of waggle... uh why? nintendo got the waggle ball control perfect in super mario galaxy and now you are asking me to use the analog stick? laaaaaaaaaame

the boss... well i'll let you take a guess how you defeat it

A) you dodge his attack with timing and strike at the opportune time
B) you throw bombs into his mouth which reveal his obvious weak point and slash at it until he dies
C) thanks to the awesome motion+ capabilities,you strike with precision at the enemy
