Skyward Sword In Bed

General Category > General Discussion

<< < (2/7) > >>

Seraph Man:
While sitting very slouched on my couch is my preferred method of playing, I did play many segments of Skyward Sword lying on the floor (because my shaggy carpet really is that comfortable) without much issue. Some sword fights pretty much beg for you to at least sit up, and when flying, I sometimes found it awkward to dive when lying on the floor, though if you're on a bed, I imagine this will be less of an issue. Holding the Wii 'Mote vertically isn't that big of a deal when lying down, as I did it without issue.

Just remember, when playing Skyward Sword, Down on the D-Pad is your best friend, especially if you'll be playing in an unconventional position (such as really, really slouched, or lying down).

The first Girahim fight and the big beast in the pit often had me yelling, "No you dumb shit, don't swing THAT way..." at the TV.

This. It's probaly my second least favorite console Zelda... Zelda II is still worse. Maybe.

DUDE! ONLY time a Zelda game actually pissed me off, and it wasn't because I couldn't figure out a puzzle. No, it's just because I have to fight with the mother-effin' controller just to swing my stupid sword in the right direction. Aaaaaaaaargh!

This is the very reason that it is the ONLY Zelda game that I ever put down in the middle of playing and didn't come back to. I played it for about 5-6 hours, turned it off, and haven't touched it since. And I'm a HUGE Zelda nut. Zelda 1 was the 1st title that I beat on my own and I've taken vacation time from work for previous releases. So this crap really ticks me off >:(

I WILL eventually get back to it, but that waggle shit can bite my ass.

LOL! I'm with ya. It didn't add a damned thing to the game as far as I'm concerned. I wish they'd just freakin' add an "old man" control option so I can play the game and RELAX. When did gaming become a physical activity?! (rhetorical question, don't think you're cute by citing the Wii launch date or some crap like the Power Pad). Even with the other Wii Zelda you could lean back and just barely give the wiimote a shake and Link would do his thing. I even liked the aiming (sort of), but I'm not trying to learn how to fence.

This is the exact reason that I got Twilight Princess for the GC instead of the Wii. Granted, Skyward Sword has the motion plus which definitely enhances the ability to use the Wii remote & nunchuk as a playstyle, but it's still overused. I for one like Skyward Sword, but they should have included a way to use a GC and Classic controller as an alternative. Continuing to force such control on the franchise is a bad move in my opinion.

Super Mario Galaxy is an excellent example of doing it right. They incorporated the new controls only slightly (flick to do the spin, and point at screen to collect or manipulate objects), while maintaining the heart of the game. Skyward Sword forces you to constantly be spinning and flicking the controller just to do simple attacks. What happened to using buttons to swing your sword?!
