Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm playing Skyward Sword more and the ******** controls when you have to point are being absolute s**t. It makes no difference how "good" you are at using the controls, it just constantly goes off center and it's not the player's fault at all. It's because it uses Wiimotion plus as the pointer instead of the normal way, like in Twilight Princess, which caused no problems. I've probably had to press the correction button more than 10 times in like half an hour. It's retarded. And if you've never had ANY bullshit with the combat at ALL, or EVER found the motion controls for flying or swimming to be a little bit bothersome, you're either really tolerant/patient or really lucky. Often when you're fighting enemies, like those moblins that can shock you, they'll switch their guard during the split second while you're executing an attack towards their weak point, so you end up getting shocked anyway half the time. But really the pointer is the big issue. It's pissing me off so much in this dungeon.

Meanwhile, this is the dungeon music. It's really not fantastic to listen to for extended periods of time. Though, I have to admit, even better Zelda games haven't had particularly memorable dungeon themes since the N64 days and before.

Here are all the good/memorable songs in the game as far as I'm concerned:

Okay, so that's 9 songs that stand out to me. Not bad, but how big is the soundtrack? The other bgms are just kind of there. If anyone has any other songs from this game that they find to be really good, please share. Also most of these are around Skyloft/the sky and you only hear them for so long. I can't remember how any of the ground music goes anymore. At all.

It's been a while, but as I recall, if you block the moblin's attacks they get knocked off balance. That's the best time to attack them.

Well, then I guess you'll die. The shield only takes damage when used incorrectly, if I recall. When you parry your shield keeps all it's health.

And if you don't use the shield, why would it bother you if it broke?

Okay, guys, that discussion has made me want to give SS another go since I was quick to jump on the "SS sux" bandwagon. sweatdrop
I'll let you know how that goes, because I tend to prefer 2D Zeldas and/or Toon Link games.

Kegan: It bothers me that the shield breaks because sometimes you DO need to use it, like against those really fat moblins.

Wayne: They're alright, whatever, I guess.

Anyway I just beat the last dungeon and am going into the final two bosses and this has been a lot of fun even though the controls are iffy at times. The dungeon was fun, I mean. Puzzles and combat and none of that dowsing s**t.

Was my DS town Utopia?

I watched most of it, I think? In bite-sized clips but it was great.
