Skyward Sword is mega shit.
;__;
Listen I will disagree with no one that a lot of those dungeons are exceptional, it gives Twilight Princess a run for its money in that department. But it is terrible on the tutorializing front, Fi is somehow almost as bad as navi, and **** navi, the motion controls are a complete mixed bag. They aren't precise in the strictest sense, they aren't as consistent as a button press, and the melee combat lacks any depth to make it all that special to begin with. The swimming controls are mega garbage, the dark world stuff thing the game had going on where lame sequences because the last thing I want to do in Zelda is some shitty pseudo stealth, and the ridiculous amount of filler in that game bores me to no end. A fetch quest between every dungeon khoof? really? you really all that fun getting all those tears of bullshit?
A fetch quest between every dungeon is beyond stupid, there's no doubting that. It absolutely kills the pace of the game, and it's the definition of annoying meaningless filler content. Those are, in fact, some of the aspects of the game that I find inexcusably bad. Tacked on motion controls (flying, using them for almost every single item in the stupidest ways possible) are also a huge con. And Fi, **** Fi. I will not disagree that there's a lot here to bring this game down. Doing that is basically being blind to bad game design, and I'm moved past that by now :P
However, what I say is that the good sections of Skyward Sword are, in my opinion, good enough to overcome those faults. Not so much that it becomes a, excellent game, or even one of the best in the series, but definitely enough to make it a very good game- at least in my estimation. The dungeon design is top notch, I thought the combat was great. The bosses are also very good (barring the easy difficulty, which does take away from them significantly, but doesn't change the fact that boss design is still very good), the music is excellent, and the lore and the story appealed hugely to the Zelda fan in me. And I liked the visual style too, but I understand that's a 50-50.
So yeah, bottomline: Skyward Sword has a lot of flaws, and most of those are inexcusably stupid. But the overall package was still a good one, I think. Not EXCELLENT good. But not as bad as it's made out to be either. Neither of those by a long shot.
