Rare and Retro did not lead the graphics pack on Gamecube; Factor 5 outdid them both.

And Skyward Sword does have some bumpmapping, for example on the Goddess Cubes and their chests and Tentalus's tentacles.


Gonna have to toss in my copy of Rebel Strike and see how well it held up........but not today.  Gotta go to bed.  I just wanted to say this:

I fucking love Skyward Sword. 

No.

Really, the first dungeon is NOTHING.

The second is also barely any fun.

The third and onward are some of the best dungeons ever.

The first few hours were too slow and familiar, true. I remember feeling disappointed after my first session. But just like you say, the game gets MASSIVELY better once it gets going. To the point that you wonder if you can still play older Zelda games afterwards.

I enjoyed the Earth Temple, though it was the boss moreso that gripped me



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Well so glad hear a good opinion from open mind man like you D21. I really hope PS3 games with a move had a game like Zelda SS.

I know what you really mean.  Your post is saying "No" but your body is telling me "YES!"

Actually that was the only thing I "disliked" on the Earth Temple, mostly because it's way too similar to the Rocktite mini-boss on Spirit Tracks (with the difference of the Rocktite being fought on Train). Other than that, the temple was fun in itself.

yeah shame that hasn't happened to me. I've played up to eldin volcano and I still hate it. I haven't gone back to it in like a week and I doubt I will ever get further. It's torture to play and I don't like it.

I really don't find the gameplay enjoyable at all, and in fact, playing this game made me want to go back and play TP just so I could enjoy the franchise once again.

The only Zelda game I played that I really didn't like was Twilight Princess, and this Skyward Sword is the only one in the series that I like on the level of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask; Link to the Past would be there too if it was more than 6-7 hours long.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

About Zelda's graphics, though. They are pretty bad. I don't notice them much anymore but they are early PS2 quality at times. I played Kirby's Epic Yarn and that game really wowed me. Fired up Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and I was impressed. Same with Metroid 3, Punch Out, Smash Bros., Zack and Wiki, etc. I don't think I'm a graphics whore (yet!) but I don't think this game lives up to many Gamecube games--not even Starfox Adventures or Metroid Prime.

It's obvious that we're supposed to be blown away when we see Skyloft or that giant fish monster. It's not the case. The absorbing gameplay makes up for it, though. I didn't like the graphics at first but now, I barely notice them. And the way I flip-flop, I'll probably be saying it's the graphics king of this generation before I'm done.


Your PS2 was certainly better than mine. My PS2 couldn't handle big environments and add a lot of effects such as blur and refraction, even in the later games. I liked Skyward Sword visual style a lot and I think the coders did an excellent job. Obviously, it would look better at higher resolution and anti-alias but the only point in which I wished the Wii had more power was to handle the trees, which I found disappointing.
