>playing games for babbys
lol

>>116874003

Yea, I don't get why people play Skyrim either.

But now Skyrim has less LEVEL SCALING. Having to waste 5 minutes to kill one enemy makes the game hardcore.

>Trying to persuade me to spend money on Nintendo products

Get out of here viral marketer.

>>116873875

same shit could be acomplished with an analog stick

>HURR HURRHRR ATTACKS ASSIGNED TO THE ANALOG STICK SO MUCH INNOVATION THE WAY OF THE FUTURE

>>116874093

I tried Skryim, it's fun to play when you got nothing to do during class (It college fag detected).

Skyward is the true GOTY of the year imo.

ISO, you are soon mine, prepare your usbloader gx

>soundtrack already ripped
MUST SAY NO TO THE TEMPTATION
Only tracks I've listened to were those from the demo and I'll keep it that way until I have the game. In the meantime, MINI-BOSS THEME ON ENDLESS LOOP

I'm not a Skyrim fan and most of your complains are legit - but how the hell is Zelda, the ONE GAME remade thirty fucking times over and over again, that much better?
It's a lot more polished, sure. But content-wise, it's still the kiddie stuff it always way, and the gameplay offers little not nothing new or impressive.

I never understood what people above age of 15 see in Zelda. It's like Disney movies - great for kids, but as you grow up, you start to see the seams.
There are so many games that offer so much more than Zelda does in terms of content or atmosphere (Skyrim not being one of them) that do not get nearly as much prize as Zelda, often any prize at all, it just feels unfair.

>>116874243
Then why hasn't anyone done it yet?

I never understood how people could tolerate the elder scrolls games.

The combat is so click click click and unlike diablo it's without strategy.

The awful animations just make it even more boring.

>>116873875

>Zelda
>Absolutely Stagnant franchise with nanoprogressive graphics.

I stopped playing after Majoras Mask. By then I imaged they'd at least fucking add on to the game and make it more RPG, but nope. Same ol' same ol.

How does one get past the wiimotionplus screen in dolphin?

is SS gonna be known as like GOTYAY from here on out? Like how TP was known as Eight-point-eight since like... forever. Also, swissmis'ters how's the game so far? NA here and I'm fucking jealous. (DLing tonight).

>>116874293
Zelda has it's formula down to perfection, and because less time is spent on bullshit like "updating the graphix" you get a 40-50 hour game without 70% of it being fetch quests. You're constantly going to new areas, or finding new massive areas hidden inside old areas. With Skyrim, every dungeon is copy-pasted, and there aren't many games that put such an emphasis on originality being released today.

>>116874362
>The combat is so click click click

But that's how all WRPGs play.

>>116873875
Can I just bind the waggle motion controls to my 360 pad? I hated Mario Galaxy, but after I bound waggle to my A button, doing spin attacks and jump spins and activating launch stars became a lot more fun.

>>116874378
impossibru currently. I have a feeling someone's about to devise a way around the motion+ very quickly because of this game.

>>116874298
the fuck you talking about?
The first monster hunter had it, Too Human had it. I won't bother searching for more.

Ofc both sucked because the gameplay was sluggish with that. Only simple enemy patterns and simple dodging mechanics can accomodate analog stick/motion plus attacks. That's why it works on zelda
>inb4 a pile of fags say zelda has complex combat

i'm seriously concidering buying myself a wii just to play zelda games

>>116874456
yeah but the other ones at least have some degree of strategy.

Elder scrolls is complete derp.

>>116874378
You buy a wii motion plus.

>>116874404
Not swiss, but I've been playing for about 3 hours and I've just beaten the first dungeon.

>>116874471
Lol, nope.

>>116874471

No, because it's motion plus instead of just the regular wagglestick. You'll have to wait for the Dolphin devs to emulate motion plus.

>>116874362
So people started liking the TES series with the original Arena or Daggerfall games, which were noted for their complexity and huge size. That was back in the times that thinking and learning were actually appreciated by many gamers.
Most of us started with Morrowind, which offers one of the impressive and compelling gaming setting up till today. It really is AMAZING - the lore, the landscape, the art direction, the music, the atmosphere. The gameplay alone was mostly a mere tool to allow interactivity and immersion while exploring the world.
Mediocre combat is a small price to pay for that.

What I don't understand is the continued popularity with the next games - Oblivion and Fallout 3 (which, the way I see it, is more Oblivion spin-off than a Fallout game), becouse they had not offered what made Morr such a great game - the fascinating world.
Seems to me people simply enjoy freedom - even if it is a freedom to do shitty stuff and explore shitty settings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZyNkKC8GuA

Copypasta from /tg/ because it's the most accurate description of Skyrim I've seen so far:

>Skyrim

Get this shit out of here. It's the worst of both worlds: it's neither got carefully crafted content nor does it have a GM to fill that vast, empty world with interesting stuff. It's a cancer on video gaming; the trumpeting of freedom as the ultimate factor in neglect of all else. Don't forget that it's a technical sham. Bethesda's games have been propped up by modders for years now. Somehow they've decided that this is an acceptable state of affairs, as have most people, who throw accolade after accolade at their empty worlds, cumbersome mechanics and clunky game engine.

Skyward Sword is fun once you get past the FUCKING SLOW AS SHIT START JESUS CHRIST I GET IT NINTENDO YOU DON'T NEED A THREE HOUR LONG TUTORIAL TO TEACH ME HOW TO PLAY

First boss was great.

>>116874455
So is the formula of Tetris or Pong!, but I stopped playing those a LONG time ago, becouse formula is just not enough to keep me interested. And I just don't see what makes Zelda so special content-wise.

GOTY is just a buzzword.

>>116874929
nintendo games usually vary quite a bit in gameplay, its just cause the story and characters don't change (on the outside) people automatically think its the same game

WW and OoT were completely different games

>over 11 years old
>playing nintendo games
Stop being a disgrace to humankind

>>116874903
What? What did you consider the tutorial section, because I was out of Skyloft in an hour.

So CAN the game be played with a controller? Or do I have to go out and buy some Wii motes

>>116874293
>It's a lot more polished
You answered your own question.
Zelda games just feel like there's a lot more production value put into them. You certainly don't end up with a glitched unplayable mess.

>>116875167
No, you need a wiimote and motion plus.

>>116875164
The entire section leading up to the first dungeon.

>>116874531
>>116874549
That really sucks. Hopefully it won't take long before I am doing vertical strikes with Y and horizontal with A.

Son, I know you love your toys, but it's time to take your hobby to an adult level.

Nintendo is up to age 12, then it is time to move on.

You had to stop playing with Legos at some point, you should have put that console in the attic with it.

I realize I won't be taken seriously, because we're not allowed to dislike Skyrim, but I was bored of it in an hour. It's just more of the same, and I'm tired of the formula. Maybe I'm just getting old, too.

I wanted to like this game.

>>116875269
and when you turn 20 you find out trying to be mature instead of being who you are is not a sign of adulthood

>>116875167
You have to have Wii motion plus.

There's a limted edition bundle for SS that gives you a Wiimote with Motion+ built for an extra $20 .

>>116874803
i would have to agree with you/him/her

>playing zelda instead of something for adults like CoD or BF3

come on guys we all have to grow up sometime

I had terminal cancer, aids, and in addition I was an amputee. Then I playet SS, and now I'm cured of all diseases and grew back my limbs.

>>116874492

>The first monster hunter had it

That isn't 1:1 tracking like the motion+ has. Monster Hunter's analog attacking was simple X attack = Press X direction on analog stick. It was eventually phased out by simply assigning the attacks to buttons.

...Seriously? Goddamn MW3 has more story than any Zelda game.

So how far is everyone (all 5 of you with a motion plus)? Just about to enter the fire temple here.

man what will nintendo do when its fanbase grows up? I mean they are literally making zelda for 20 year olds now that used to play it when they were 5

there are no modern kids playing zelda, they're all playing adult games like battlefield. So what happens when their fans finally get married, have children, move on from video games? Wonder if they have even thought about that.

>>116876200

Um, nah. You can't actually. Suck a dick you fat neckbeard weeaboo.

I can only just imagine the rolls of your fat slicing into your recliner chair as you dust off your wii controller with orange tainted fingers.

Have fun with your shitty kiddie game

>>116876413
But you can. 5 seconds in the console and you can speed along to the ending. If you're talking actual playtime, you'd get maybe 8 hours out of Skyrim. The "fun" is in doing endless fetch quests for every NPC.

Somewhat unrelated, but does anyone have that pic of ALTTP Zelda with SS Zelda?

>>116876399
Same here. Have to go take the GRE in a few (American grad school test) but will resume marathoning the game after lunch.

I can see 1up/Giant Bomb's complaints after the two dowsing BanjoKazooie collectathons. Those were shit, even if they did have vaguely dungeon puzzle/navigation. We've basically been robbed of any real overworld because the surface is just a dungeon strung out over flat land, (that is, not open at all). If this is what they meant by breaking the formula, it's not nec. a good thing.

>>116876671

Hmm. I'm already on 16 and have done 2 of the main quests. I haven't done very many "fetch quests" at all either. And usually they all turn out interesting, like the one where it started out a fetch quest but I got turned into a werewolf and ravaged an entire village.

>>116876718

I don't know... By being shallow as fuck?

>>116876849

link being link and all?

>>116875659
Why? That Nintendo is losing a few jewgolds? They've had the industry damn near by the balls this gen, and currently have more money than God. The ball was finally in their court again after all these years, and what did they do? Wii Faggotry, sending all their franchises except Mario and Zelda off to 3rd party code farms to get horrible spin-off/prequel games, and ports of games already owned several times over. Mere fucking crumbs from a very rich table.

I will never again buy a Nintendo-published title, they're permanently on pirate-only status.

>>116876403
You know, while part of me laughs at how stupid that is, another part of me knows this has some truth. The main reason being faggot ass parents who game. The amount of times I've heard from co-workers, who have kids, about how they let them play/buy them games like dead space, mw, halo and generally games not aimed at their age group is disturbing. Several of them actively refuse to purchase a wii on the simple grounds that _they_ have no interest in it or it's content, disregard the kids opinion and just keep filling their heads with adult games, that's the way to go.

It's a sad state of affairs, but at least not every parent is a "hardcore" gamer bent on screwing over their child for their own selfish reasons.

How is the Dolphin compatibility with Skyward Sword?

I'd like to play it, but there's no fucking way I'm going to play it on a Wii in 480p. This isn't 2001.

its true, the UI is complete garbage and the combat is boring as fuck

>>116876403
If you're still playing Zelda at 20, it's safe to say that neither of those three things will ever happen to you.

Since when did Skyward Sword release? I didn't see it on Wiiso or torrents. LINKS!

I can't understand why there aren't more Skyward Sword threads. It's so fun.

You'll need to either wait for motion+ support in Dolphin or for someone to patch the game to work without it, kinda like the Phantom Hourglass d-pad hack. Don't expect the latter to show up too soon, though.

kind of agree but combat was never a relevant component on any zelda, except for bosses which are still good

>>116877074
Maybe, but Cortana was never so C3PO SHIT GETS LOGICAL. Fi is also worse than I remember Navi ever being. Which is a shame, because Tatl was never really annoying, and was frequently helpful.

>>116877082

Dolphin still doesn't support motion plus? That's a drag.

Do they have an ETA on when they're going to be adding that?

>>116877092
He's talking about today's children, who only play M-Rated games because they are M-Rated.

>>116876578
Seriously? Stuck at the eyeball? Think of the eyeballs from Mario.

Still stuck? Point your sword at the eyeball. It will follow the tip. Now make circles with the sword to confuse the eye until it explodes. When there are groups of eyes make sure they are all open and looking at the sword before you start to spin it.

>>116876910
Wait, the ball was only in their court again after the Wii became a success. And now they're trying to appeal to people who want good games like this since they have some security to do so.

>>116877152
Yeah, I don't really like Fi at all. I think Zelda is meant to be the main 'character' that everyone remembers in this one like Midna was in the last one.

Also, this game is much harder than old Zeldas. The first Girahim boss battle made me use every pot in the room for hearts - I have never previously needed to use a single pot for a heart in any Zelda boss battle. Beat Girahim with one and a half hearts left.

Remember when Zelda bosses all took 3 - 6 hits to kill? Like the entire last decade? Well this fucker took more like 40-60.

I don't doubt you aren't screwed up (despite the need to call me a Nintendrone) but I'm also sure you played a good deal games directed towards children/younger audiences in your youth, no?
I'm referring to the children growing up with nothing but adult games and in turn rejecting anything but.
Sometime /v/ comes across like this, I can never tell if it's simply mass trolling or if they are genuinely disgusted with less mature games.

>>116877568
Zelda is not "less mature". It's just bad.

>Skyrimjobfags getting mad

There's too much samefag in here. Please leave.

I can't believe you two groups are mad at each other. Nintendosamefags, go jack off to sonic porn. Bethesdacunts, play your uguuu loli mods.
The point is, this thread is stupid, as both games are of completely different purpose. I may think SS has a fucking retarded story, and you may think Skyrim's magic is for neckbearded fags.
Just play the damn games, where the fuck are you supposed to get with this thread? It's pointless.

>>116874456

dark messiah of might and magic.
Boring story, boring character progression, boring RPG elemnts, but the best combat in years.

>>116877633
I know that is simply an opinion of yours, but why would you go as far as to call it "bad"?
There are considerably worse games out there than skyward, so why are you grouping it with them?

I own Skyrim and in no way is it empy, or does it have bad graphics (PC player)
Like Oblivion, the world is massive, so are graphics really that much of an issue?
Most of you cunts play WOW and that has the worst graphics ever, yet literally millions of people play it...
If you can't appreciate Oblivion or Skyrim, then you should just stick to CoD and the constant flow of FPS games that are ruining the market.
Also, if you're sick of console ports, how about you buy your games every once in a while? Stupid fucks, no wonder they don't give a shit about PC anymore... So fucking dumb I can't even comprehend.

>>116877736
We were like 5 minutes of reaching a unanimous agreement that myopinion is far better than youropinion and you had to come in and fuck everything up.

Zeldafriend here who has never played a WRPG. When I finally get my PC, which ElderScrolls do I start with?

>>116877886
That was one of the first games I borrowed from from the video store for my xbox 360. I played it for about 15 minutes, then put it back in the box and took it to the shop again... It was actually a joke. This was after playing Oblivion, so that was probably why it seemed so fucking inferior.

Why are these Zelda threads always terrible in the morning?

>>116873875
>What's the matter /v/? Couldn't afford the 10 bux to get a motion plus?

No asshat, it's not out yet. I have it preordered. Go fuck yourself.

>>116877909
>oblivion and skyrim
>somehow better than the wave of FPS shit
And you're argument is that "people play WoW, so the game is fine"? Both WoW and skyrim are fucking terrible, Skyrim is a joke of an RPG with a tiny amount of actual content.

>call zelda a childrens game
>the water temple is a hundred times more complex in terms of problem solving than anything in CoD or battlefield

If you don't mind reading and a very slow start, go morrowind.

>>116878030

Start with Oblivion. It's entry-level TES.

Then try Morrowind.

Then try Arena and Daggerfall (both are now free).

Then try Skyrim.

Yeah, I remember trying out Zelda on the 360 too. Come back when you're old enough to formulate opinions on video games (i.e. You've played more than 5 of them).

>>116877886
I honestly find Zelda games bad. Not just overrate, really bad. I try to understand how people can like games I don't like, and I usually do, but not with Zelda.

Oh for fuck's sake, this is why I hate nintendo fanboys. You spam the shit out of the front page with your "Let me compare an action-platformer to an open-world JRPG, seriously" bullshit. You do it because you're too buttfrustrated that more people enjoy games that aren't your favorite game and have the biggest fucking chip on your shoulder. Quit spamming /v/ with this shit, there is NO COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TWO GAMES. The ONLY similarity between the two is the concept of an over-world and the fact that both protagonists use swords.

You fucking retard. 9/10, but not because I think either is a better game. Because I think you're a fucking idiot.

>>116878049
If you had have actually read what I wrote, I said that millions of people play WOW despite it's horrible graphics. So complaining about Skyrim's graphics is just stupid..
The graphics don't make the game, if the graphics are reasonable (which they are past in Skyrim), then you shouldn't be fucking complaining.

>>116878224
Are you retarded? That's a leak. We haven't reached the release date yet, so most people who bought the game still can't play it.

>>116878266
Both games came out at the same time, and they're both RPGs and widely considered to be triple-A titles. Am I not allowed to compare the massive circlejerk over Skyrim to the huge lack of SS threads?

>>116878266
>overworld
I dunno about that with SS. It looks like they're trying to lock that down a bit, too. I know they don't want the big/dead/empty of WW and TP, but they may have run too far in the other direction.

Interesting, hwo do you know that?
Stop assuming shit!
I dont played skyrim because i regretted oblivion and bethesda didnt make a demo aviable (Just cause did an awesome demo and I bought it, Mount&Blade did a good demo but it wasnt my thing so i didnt buy it). Therefore I shall not buy this product, neither will i pirate it.

Why is everyone complaining about Skyrim? I BOUGHT, that's right I bought it, the game for PC and it's the best game I've ever played!
If you don't like open world games, then go play CoD.

>>116878174
I see, well regardless, I respect your opinion even though I don't share your view.

>>116878349
I think it works quite well. You have the WW ocean (Skylark) and a compressed world map with the same level of bullshit collectables in. I'm not a great fan of the whole "collect a bunch of objects to get in the dungeon", but it's not as bad as the triforce hunt.

Zelda has never been an RPG. There is no leveling/stats, and there is no dialogue choice to change world events. Either definition you like, it's not an RPG. SS borrows SOME elements, but sidequests and optional equips are not new to the series anyway.

>>116878333

>they're both RPGs

No, they aren't. The Zelda series has never been an RPG, and you are an idiot for thinking so.

It is an action-platformer. Think hard about this one. I know it's difficult when only meager portions of your brain are capable of functioning at any given time due to MASSIVE cranial trauma, but I really need you to do this for me.

That's true, it is pretty much the same thing over and over again. But it's a formula that works extremelly well. It's the same as CoD, the same thing over and over again but it's fun, so people will buy it.
I own Skyrim on PC and it's the best game I've ever played, so I don't know why everyone's complaining about it...

OP, you are a god damn casual, and is the cancer killing /v/

>>116878553

No, that's you victimizing yourself. /v/ loves to shit on everything. But instead of being a grown-up, you've decided to take this a step further and crap on everything that isn't Zelda, because "that'll show them".

>>116878523
>needing dialogue choices to change shit to be an RPG
Also, you can upgrade weapons, using bugs, a form of EXP.

If skyrim is considered an RPG with "increase health and choose a perk every level", SS might as well be one too.

>>116878359
Big whoop, the Academy is a piece of shit. They wouldn't know a good movie if it sucked their dicks.

>>116878647

>You've missed out on the most magical worlds that defined our childhoods and will forever remain in our hearts.

Yeah, like Oblivion, and now Skyrim.

Tell me one bad thing about Skyrim and I will consider if it's bad enough to ruin the game.
To me, it's the greatest game made so far. So good luck trying to taint my view of it.

>>116878678
Then why are you complaining about Zelda being the same formula repeatedly, when that's what people fucking want? I really pity you if you find Skyrim to be the best game you've ever played.

You fags can argue all you want. I'll go play some SS right now. Afterwards I'll play some Dark Souls, Skyrim or Arkham City. They're all great games.

>>116878782
Now, I'd agree, but back then I could take them seriously.

>>116878834
I never complained about Zelda, I've never played it.
If it got a 10/10 then it's probably pretty damn good.
Why is it bad to like Skyrim so much? What other game should I play instead?

well OP, this is the video i used when i hacked my wii, also have fun with skyward sword, been playing it. FUCKING GLORIOUS.

>>116878651
BUT NOOOO SKYRIM IS MORE REEL THAN ZELDA SO IT HAS BETTER GRAPHIUCS AND LOOK BETTER

GOTYGOTYGOTYGOTYGOTYGOTY

Seriously with all the near perfect scores i see for skyrim i always hear the same complaints about the game. Everyone says that the combat isn't anything special, and its full of bugs. It seems that in terms of game play zelda and dark souls do a much better job at actually being a fun game to play.

Bunch of children in this thread. You don't have to pick sides, you know? You can play and enjoy both Skyrim and Skyward Sword. Heck, you can even just play one of them and not try to >imply the other is a piece of shit.

They're both fun games for different reasons.

>>116879010
Lol, I actually thought you were describing the new Zelda game from the look of it.

>>116879008
DS and Zelda have the same problem in being too similar to their predecessors, but they had the added bonus of having actually good predecessors. Oblivion was fairly shitty, and if you build on a foundation of shit, your franchise will collapse.

>>116878726

>a form of EXP.

Or, a fucking collectable to get another power-up. This isn't stat-tracking, this is "grab the shinies and get a new toy". You don't "choose perks every level" in SS, you get all of the gadgets and then you win. There's one or two optional things to add to your character, much like in the other zelda games, but you don't progress through levels, you don't earn stats (besides "hearts", but bigger life bar =/= RPG element), you don't have any options for what weapon to use beyond "sword 1" and "sword 2", the in game economy has no barter and is inconsequential, as you can just get more of whatever you were going to buy from tall grass, the plot generally involves you just going through the main dungeons in sequence with a few side bits to explore...

I could do this all night. There's no shame in being an action-platformer (and God knows the market needs more of them) but Zelda is NOT an RPG. It's never been one, it's never been marketed/described as one, and it will never be one.

>>116879094
This, started today oh wait it's already tomorrow shit playing a few hours of SS and fucking loving the style and the story and the music.

Then torrented Skyrim and am loving the fuck out of it too.

>>116879116
Make a <insert random game here> thread and post that. I'm sure you'll be able to get quite a few replies. No seriously, do it, I'm sure the thread will be a success.

So how long until elder scrolls goes back to being disliked on /v/ again? Everyone seemed to think oblivion was shit without mods, have a ton of MW2 kiddies moved in since?

>>116879006

There's a thread on the front page, right now, that says that "SS has better graphics than Skyrim".

Your argument is invalid.

>>116879249
It's still shit, but every new game gets new fans.

>>116879218
It's sad really, because of people like OP, /v/ has become like that.

I seriously can't believe a thread making a comparison between Zelda and Elder Scrolls got this fucking long.

It's like, every time I think you guys have gone as low as you idiots can possibly go, you keep digging further.

just mentioning over all this mature gaming thing:
yes, i am older than 20 and i gonna get it for my wii because i play games to have fun and i don't have fun on virtually shooting, slaughtering people.
Games are for making fantasy worlds come true not for imitating sad real world scenarios imo.

Few games can match Zelda when it comes to gameplay, content, variety, and the overall quality of the product. Most games tend to be either polished but short and linear or open but messy. Zelda gets more or less the best of both worlds.

Sure, the formula isn't changing a lot, but so do most games for the past ten years, so...

I don't think you've actually played Skyrim, friend. But hey, okay.

Skyrim can, which you have been bashing for the last couple of months.

I played it for about an hour. The first 20 minutes are just a bunch of 6th graders trying to flirt. Then I got my sword and I have to say I'm not impressed. It's just 8 directions which could have been easily assigned to buttons (maybe not with the Wiimote). Except the diagonal slash there's nothing new here (I didn't play the games after Majora's Mask). Anyway there's 3 fucking cutscenes from where I exit a cave and rescue my fucking bird. Jesus Christ. And you can't even skip it. I just wanted to see how the motion control was. The delay was shorter than I thought but it's still there and still noticeable.

To be fair Skyrim is probably even a worse game but Skyward Sword isn't good either. I just want a new game in the style of A Link to the Past and it looks like I'll never get it.

Man, I regret pirating Zelda SS. I thought Zelda games were suppose to be good and since never playing one, I thought I'll try it.

Zelda SS is has such a shitty story, the motion controls for the sword is wonky and forces you to stand still to fight, the battles are just literally puzzles that gets boring once you solve how to beat them., Also, why the shit are there so much puzzles in the game, I thought Zelda was suppose to be an action-adventure game but where's the action and adventure?

I expected the game to be good since it got 10/10 reviews but I honestly cant see why it deserves that score at all.

Now I shall pirate Skyrim and see if it's as flawed as people say.

I can't even play the fucking game right now

Because it's a good game. And anyone past the age of 18 who still plays Nintendo games honestly needs to rethink their life in most cases.

>>116881087
Also there was a podcast on Gametrailers and they were talking about Zelda. Seems like you just have to land the first hit then you can waggle and beat most of the enemies. No precision or skill required. And seeing how their review isn't up yet I'm going to assume Nintendo paid them the least amount of money so they're being more sincere. And yes I've seen the youtube video of how retarded Gametrailers is but these guys are Zelda fans and are not terribly impressed by Skyward Sword. It'll still probably get a 9+ from them.

>every dungeon looks the same

have you even played the game?

Man, I bought Skyward Sword the other day. Despite having clocked 50 hours on Skyrim in the past 2 days because that's just how dedicated I am, and having no proof that I've even played Skyward Sword, I must say it's the worst thing ever.

I like skyrim, but it's not as polished

Does anyone else playing it on the Wii on an HD t.v. have weird problems like all the textures looking like they are made of horizontal lines, it's subtle but really fucking annoying. Just looks very grainy, some of the objects off in the distance have a wierd halo effect around them also.
