Was Twilight Princess really that bad?

[retyopy]

Sure, it was easy, but a lot of games are easy! Sure it was for the wii, but it was a sword game! The wii is made for those! Sure, it had bad graphics, but it was still a beautiful game! Graphics mean nothing. And it had a kick ass soundtrack. And it had Midna. You know, the best zelda character EVER.

All I'm asking is, why do you think it's bad?

EDIT: Before there's confusion, I've been across the internet and found a lot of hate for it.

 

[Radoh]

I don't think it's bad, I thought it was truly a well made game aside from being really easy and music not playing a prominent role in it.
What makes you so sure people hate it?
Wasn't it tied with Ocarina of Time for brilliance by like everypony?

 

[Rossmallo]

It wasn't bad at all. I loved it.

 

[taciturnCandid]

I thought it was a good game. I didn't see anything glaringly wrong with it. I had fun.

 

[Ryhzuo]

I don't think it's bad at all, in fact the general consensus is quite the opposite.

Which part of the internet have you been poking around?

 

[Lenteja]

YES!
The suckiest Zelda game i have ever played...
Such a disgrace...
I have faith in skyward sword

It didn't have bad graphics at all, especially considering it was a Wii launch title.

Just because a game is easy doesn't make it a bad game. It was a brilliant game, one of my favourite games of all time in fact. I can't wait for Skyward Sword.

It wasn't a bad game, I guess people just think it was worse than the others.

I thought it was a blast to play. And I mean, they give you a freaking spiked ball and chain. What else is there to say about that besides go nuts? The game was absolutely gorgeous as well. Graphically it might not have been the most advanced thing ever, but it still looked amazing. Which is more than I can say about a lot of games these days. Though I will be honest, I much prefer the GC version.

 

[BabySinclair]

Um... No. It was easy yes, but outside of that it was a very good Zelda game.

 

[hazabaza1]

I thought it was probably one of the best Zelda games to be honest.

 

[Qitz]

No, I enjoyed it.

Neither was Wind Waker for that matter.

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

People didn't like Twilight Princess? I mean, I haven't played it but all I ever hear about it is how it was just Ocarina of Time but better.

 

[woodaba]

It was amazing in every sense of the word. Maybe because it was only my second Zelda game, but it was still awesome.

 

[Scarim Coral]

No, I wasn't aware that people hated it to some degree until now. I thought it's jsut as good as any other Zelda games but not without some flaws. It get boring that most of the bosses weakness was a friggen eye!! There was that annoying quick action type of thing near the beginning. None the less it's a great game.

 

[AlternatePFG]

It wasn't bad at all. Not my personal favorite, but still a very solid, fun game.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

It wasn't bad at all. I loved it.

This, although I have to admit I'm going in with a fairly hefty bias. TP was my introduction to the Zelda series and it subsequently blew my mind, so I can understand that people who have played Ocarina, Majora's Mask and Wind Waker might have been going in with a S.S.D.D attitude, but I still think that there was some innovation to be found, it's one of the few games to make a good use of the Wii mechanics and it's a brilliantly designed, scored and characterised game.

 

[MordinSolus]

Twilight Princess was excellent, I haven't found a lot of people who hate it, because I don't know a lot of people who play it, but still.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

I liked it, in fact I thought it was better than Ocarina. I suppose it was easy, but none of the Zelda games are that hard really anyway.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I loved it. It had a bit of a slow start, but by the time Midna appeared, I was hooked.

It's tied with Wind Waker for my second-favorite Zelda game (Majora's Mask is first), but for different reasons. I loved Wind Waker's exploratory and artistic elements, while Twilight Princess' story and dungeons (and boss fights) blew me away.
