Which one of those is a criticism, exactly? Saving Peach surely isn't, as anyone complaining about that has clearly missed the point and may as well complain that the goal of football (score the most points) never changes. Merely mentioning that it has less content than another game...

What points about 3D Land's actual content did he make? I watched it three minutes ago and this is what I remember: -The basic premise (rescue Peach) is the same as many previous Super Mario games -There are less levels than its console brethren -You are collecting stars again (factually...

Stars? Seriously, you're going to complain about collecting stars in a game that doesn't have a single star to collect? Also, someone should nudge Croshaw and let him know that the 3DS isn't a "failure" anymore and thus is no longer en vogue to blindly dump on it. Also: both SM3DL and R:O...

Just so we're clear, you're claiming that the vast majority of players and reviewers that said the controls worked adequately and as intended are confused and/or lying, correct? Cognitive dissonance is claiming that the controls didn't work, and none of us noticed but finished the game anyway...

You've missed the point by a wide margin. My point is that it's impossible for the controls to work (as claimed by about 90% of reviews) and to also not work as claimed by the others. There are only two two explanations 1) one of the groups is lying (tinfoil hat) or 2) that they do work but...

While it is impossible for the controls to be as bad as Yahtzee/GameSpot/etc claim and still have the majority of players/reviewers say they work near flawlessly, it's entirely possible for the controls to work near flawlessly but have a handful of players that merely suck at using them and...

The vast majority of this thread is people agreeing with Yahtzee, which is statistically significant because SS has a meta score in the 90s (ie near universal acclaim).

Before I watched his review, I told my girlfriend that Yahtzee was going to hate Skyward Sword, and his chief complaints would be motion controls, the graphics, the game structure, and the fact that it has the same ur-narrative (save Zelda). I said he then usually goes, "Look how mad Nintendo...

How could Yahtzee not mention Anju and Kafei from Majora's Mask? Actually, he's probably never played it, since he mentioned OoT3D was his first run through Ocarina of Time.

I'm surprised that as a game designer, Yahtzee doesn't see the value in something like the Wii U controller. It does everything every other standard controller does (two analogs, four face buttons, triggers, shoulders, etc) but adds functionality that doesn't impede on anything already in...

The timeline didn't make sense until Twilight Princess, and now it all fits together nicely. I kinda miss pre-TP days when Zelda forums were nothing but timeline arguments. Ocarina of Time - Wind Waker - Phantom Hourglass - Spirit Tracks - Legend of Zelda - Adventure of Link Ocarina of...

I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I see that tired old dig that the Wii isn't 'current gen.' -Generations are a time frame, and nothing else. Since Wii launched last, if anything, it is the most current gen of them all -The Wii is more powerful (if not by much) than any of last gen's...

I'd like to give a shout out to Wheatley and agree that there is, indeed, an infinite space from here to the moon. For example, if you went exactly 1/2 the distance from your house to the moon, stopped, then traveled exactly 1/2 the remaining distance, stopped, and repeated, you would never...

Kinda surprised to not see Yahtzee call Portal 2 a rehash/money-grab. He rags on and on about Nintendo doing this with their franchises (iteration instead of innovation) but doesn't even pretend to mention it here. To recap: Portal 2 is only marginally longer than Portal, costs...

My name is Nate; doesn't really combine with Microsoft or Sony in any quasi-clever manner, eh? That said, which type of fanboy is worse? The one who likes something no matter what, or the one who trashes something, no matter what?
