SSHD If Nintendo doesn't make any changes.......?

Fi could be a major hurdle, but the restrictive nature of Zelda games, the excessively lengthy cut-scenes, and the fetch quest heavy nature of SS in general could be enough to turn anyone off. I also think SS will be a shock to anyone whose first game was BotW who hadn’t taken the time or been unable to play any of the previous entries. In my head, SS is the type of game I think of when I say that I like LoZ games (even though I dislike SS).

I don't care if people like SS or not but generally those who do hate BOTW which I bet they didn't get past the Great Plateau assuming that's all there is to the game. I know I did and almost gave up when I thought it was going to be a giant fetch quest but loved the rest of the world opening up. I still go up and down the coast from time to time as it's just so pretty.

This is why anecdotal evidence isn’t very helpful. I hate BotW. However, I’ve played through the entire game with 100% shrine completion including the DLC shrines. Nothing about that game is what I expected from a Zelda franchise entry, and it contains elements of the modern gaming industry that I don’t like in terms of game structure and genre. There’s actually not a whole lot I can say that I enjoyed about any time I wasted hoping I would grow to love it.

I was unsure at first too until I saw the video about Ubisoft towers. Here is the video in question as I've never played other open world games and am glad I didn't at least before BOTW.

If you go to True Zelda or Zelda Universe it's pretty popular to bash the game now where as years ago it would get you chewed out. Now it's the opposite extremes so it makes me wonder how far they got as many said they gave up before going very far.

I reckon they got to the hidden stone taleous and peed their pants or they got lost after the old guy told them to 'collect his treasure' then it's back to the Ubisoft tower issues for them as they run around trying to figure out what the old guy wants.

To give credit I had a hard time finding the stupid tower to activate as I hopped all over it before falling into the alcove by accident. "Shiekah Slate Authenticated Please Watch For Falling Rocks"...................okay..............

No, no.
He's still crazy.

Either your a bot or you don't know how to read. I hope the former as what I said was plainly clear. Here is a link to True Zelda. True Zelda (reddit.com) look for any topic about BOTW if it's still discussed. I can guarantee most of it is going to be on a negative side of it though if you go back long enough I'm sure you'll find the heaping praises of joy you think this game has.

BTW: I'm one of those players that almost gave up on the stupid Plateau but glad I didn't. I had the hardest time finding the activation tower and found it by falling in it by accident. I kept hopping all over it not even knowing it was below me! "Shiekah Slate Authenticated Please Watch For Falling Rocks".......................okay..................... The rest of it became pretty straightforward.

I kinda wish I found the stone taleous though early as I didn't know I could go into the woods over there. I was used to things always being blocked off especially in tutorial mode so I just assumed there would be some sort of natural barrier barring me from going over there until the game thought I was 'ready' for it..

Okay guys, please be nice to each other. It's okay to agree or disagree but don't try to insult each other. Unfortunately there'll always be games one like more than the other so we have to accept that. Fortunately that's where the fun part is as well because if we all like everything the same it's getting boring and not fun to discuss, right?
Now from now I expect you to be continue nicely

Oh. Sorry about that.
But, that's not the problem I was worried about. It was the fact he was going off-topic.
I'm very sorry if I did anything wrong, though.

Sometimes it's okay to get a bit off topic if it makes a point more clear or as long as people return to the original topic again. No worries, nothing bad in general.

I see.
I gotta admit, though. Some of the things If is doing is pretty mean.

I have faith that the motion controls will be more accurate and I hope to God we get a free cam because there's literally no reason not to have one now.

I seriously doubt Nintendo would re-release Skyward Sword with all its flaws without changing something. They did, after all, cut down on the Triforce quest in WW even though that was hardly a flaw in itself, if you ask me. I can see why they did it though, and I appreciate that it may have helped others enjoy WW more, even if I personally never found it to be an issue. Same with the fast sail, although that change is only a good thing, since its optional anyway.

This video here explains every issue I have with SS, tbh, and why Ninty needs to address it. Explains it better than I can, really. If they don't, the same valid criticisms will be leveled at the game. Absurd amounts of tutorialization, repeated dialogue boxes that don't need to be there, the lack of any option whatsoever to skip scenes, etc. Especially at $60, SSHD needs do to something of value to warrant that AAA title price.

I would be frustrated if the camera stick only functions as a sword control because it means other people complaining actively made a game worse for me

Here is one who has tried several times to play SS and gone running back to BotW.
I cannot find out how to stay alive and it all feels too awkward and clunky. Not for me!

Wouldn't it be that Nintendo's unwillingness to implement proper analog combat would make the game worse in that case?

No, there's no problem with using a stick for directional sword swings but if your game has that the bumpers better move the camera or something

If combat is tied to the right analog stick then the game is already worse. That sort of combat is never good.
