  • 5:01- i've never experienced this problem. you don't need to move the wii controller to the other side of your body just to do a swing from the opposite direction.

    when you encounter a... whatever you want to call it... hold the wii controller in the centre. then no matter what direction he's blocking, you can easily hit him from the other side without having to move it all around your own body. it's quite simple, really.

  • Yet another person who nitpicked the game to death and let the nitpicks ruin the game for him. Nintendo didn't ruin the fun of the motion controls by making the enemies defend themselves. They just made the AI smart! And what's wrong with revisiting a dungeon? They changed the forest temple enought, so I didn't mind going back. I'm not saying Skyward Sword is perfect. I'm just saying that you didn't give it a fair review.

  • @StormDainProductions Did you ever learn to properly block, because that makes combat much easier to handle in certain situations.

  • This game has no problems.This game is perfect!

  • I WANT THIS GAME!!!NOW!

  • I mean its up to you at the end of day they are your reviewes,Im just trying to help and give some contructive crtisism.

  • for example the rock band/ guitar hero reviewers were awesome because i liked the fact that how you express you opion, and pleased the fans of the games as well, therefore creating a diplomatic solution to the review.

  • Storm you don't need to explian the joke, i get what you mean in the video, I have been a fan of the videos for a long time, since the manhunt 2 review, I think what you need is some fresh ideas agian, to improve the reviews make them as funny as the old ones, because the old storm wouldnt take shit anyboady. I use to love the fact, that the sarcasim was funny. and use to mock youtube fads,to be hounist I think get rid of the guest chariters, and forcus more one the humore aspect.

  • SkyWard Sword is the BEST GAME FOR WII!

  • hey storm i heard anime and i am also a fan so i was wondering what anime you have seen?

    thanks

  • i pretty much came to the same conclusion as you did except in an opposite way. I didn't like skyward sword's game design (basically anything that wasnt dungeons and bosses) but thought the motion controls were good.

  • Yaw...........

  • Wtf is with the huge box.

  • @ConfusedBatman It comes with a WiiMote.

  • Comment removed

  • So Skyward Sword pretty much damaged your chances of being a Nintendo Fanboy all over again?

  • @nakedsnake351

    No, Skyward Sword is still a good game. Plus, I did a double-backflip when I saw the Wii U.

  • @StormDainProductions hey i know its a random question,but did you ever play goldeneye 007 on the wii

  • 30 men have no skyward sword

  • Thank you for not having nostalgia glasses for Ocarina of Time. I don't see why that game is so special to everyone, especially since every console Zelda after OoT has only improved upon its foundation. For Skyward Sword though, it's odd to me you could have such control problems. Half the time it fells like I'm still playing Twilight Princess. Maybe it's because for you and so many others, this was your introduction to Wii MotionPlus.

  • I'm sorry but a lot of the problems you had with the combat system were kinda unfounded especially as a lot of them could be dealt with using a well timed parry(again couldn't help but notice your shield was gone). Also didn't Twilight Princess, your favorite, have the same fight against 3x against Bulblin(one is basically a warm up for Ganon on Horseback), and 2x for Skull kid and Zant played much like a mash up of other boss fights with new twist.. just saying, and Play Link to the Past.

  • Comment removed

  • Good stuff Storm. Nice to see people actually addressing the problems I've had with it rather than gushing over it BECAUSE IT'S ZELDA. (and I'm still a hardcore zelda fan, this game just wasn't all people cracked it up to be).

    STICK TO YOUR GUNS STORM.

  • I have been playing MINECRAFT for 2 months I would like it if you would play or do a review on it

  • Comment removed

  • you havent played Link to the past? OH!

  • finally some understands the epicness of TP though it wasn't an RPG it was a great games and i loved turning into a wolf.

  • Try using your shield to stun the enemies. It doesn't damage your shield if you time it right.

  • I mean, sure Wind Waker WAS fun, for years for me, but Skyward Sword just drop-kicked it off the top shelf. It is a bitch to 100% -goddamn cave thing on Outset-, and the sailing is just freakin tedious. It's still fun to play every now and then, but, in short, it goes as follows Skyward Sword

    Majora's Mask - Still fun

    Ocarina of Time - Lost it's nostalgia

    Wind Waker - Boring, tedious

    Twilight Princess - Boring, took itself way to serious and ITS NOT A GODDAMN RPG

    Phantom Hourglass - Annoying

  • One, Zelda is not an RPG. Two you can easily re-calibrate the wiimote in the pause menu. Three, Wind Waker "having the most finely tuned and impressive combat system of any Zelda game"? Are you high? It is exactly the same as Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess. Four, you can never expect a motion gaming controller to only have to be calibrated, once before it has a spaz attack. But, anyway, I understand you other criticisms, just take you time dammit.

  • 0:48

    What the hell is up with the giant Zelda box?

  • Every complaint I had put into words. Though I disagree with the ranking in only one place. Because I loved Wind Waker way more than I should have.

  • ur such an crybaby

  • You have to play a link to the past and links awakening!

  • I like SS the best, but Twilight Princess is indeed a dark, 9-dungeon, ass kicking RPG.

  • Skyward Sword is actually my favorite Zelda of all, ranked higher than all the games featured in this video. I can't get enough of the motion controls. But I still like this video a lot because its criticisms are actually quite on the spot and it also has a very likable sense of humor. Its like a good South Park episode.

  • @SpaceOctopus2010 does a "good" south park episode even exist?

  • Congratulations, Storm. This adventure was featured on ZeldaDungeon.

  • @csklimowski

    That would explain all the hate comments. Fucking-A, people calm down.

  • I actually agree with everything you said, but it didn't detract from the experience as much for me.

  • Dam haters gonna hate i love skyward sword and I actually get stuck in the main quest

  • I agree with all your criticisms of SS. I enjoyed it, but I don't think it's as good as many have made out. Funnily, why we obviously have similar opinions on what makes/breaks how we enjoy a game (controls, fetch quests etc.) I completely disagree with your ordering of the Zelda games. Variety is the spice of life and all that. Though if you really haven't played Link To The Past or Link's Awakening yet I recommend them without qualification.

  • @anordinaryboy I've tried those 2 i can't even get past the first dungeon without rage quitting.

  • Twilight Princes better than OoT, WW, MM, and SS? Um...

  • @HPRshredder i know

  • The fact you enjoyed twilight princess made for Me irrelevant your opinion but very good video tbh.

  • FAIL

  • XD twilight princess is not the perfect zelda game

  • Tatl is pronounced like tattletale.

  • I completely agree with your assessment of this game.

  • You actually liked Twilight Princess? Christ.

  • I just realized that this episode came out. When I looked at the date I noticed it was my birthday.

  • what's that big box you had? You had the box with the game, wii mote and the cd so what was that big box for?

  • YOU IDIOT MY OPINION IS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS I HATE YOU UNSUBSCRIBING

  • Yeah,Fi was really annoying whenever my batteries ran low. WHICH WAS ALL THE TIME.

  • Thriller Fi is awesome :D

  • I loved Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Skyward Sword... not so much

  • TP sucks it held my interest for a week and skyward sword is keeping me hooked because its the perfect zelda game

  • The Controls are awesome and its more fun when the ai knows what your going to do its more challenging and in turn making it more fun if it was not like that then you could just swing your sword like a maniac and win in 2 seconds

  • Comment about Batman: Arkham City: Don't worry Storm, Zelda IS awesome & B:AC is worth the wait.

    Comment to Metal Gear jokes: In my case, I always found them funny, but feared that if I actually typed a comment about it, I would sound like an idiot to other people.

    Comment about motion control: So far the only problem or rather nitpick I have is pulling out the shield. I can do it, but depending on the fight, it's annoying when I have to shake the nunchuk instead of pushing a button.

  • Is it ironic that I found a Final Fantasy 13-2 ad on one of Storm's videos?

  • Loved it, as usual.

  • You are the best person on YouTube. Keep it up.

  • I am a fan of phantom hourglass

    I am a fan of anime

    I love Mirrors Edge and Bioshizzle

    And i am still a fan of Storm Dain

    Why?

    Because i understand his humor

    Which is attempting to piss off every youtuber alive xD

    NEVER stop making videos Storm! 8D

  • @XxIneedaheroxX lol same here Bioshizzzle is one of my most favorite game.

    And I still think Sotrm Dain is freaking awesome.

    And his videos kicks ass =D

  • Shit got real a lot in Twilight Princess. I'm not too big a fan of the puzzles before the dungeons in SS. I wanted to see something like what happened before the fire dungeon in TP where you do that epic chase scene and that battle on the bridge.

  • (Look down) sorry i mean great job on the review

  • WOW this review seem's to be putting a cheap patch on your bleeding subs not to mention i feel the same way on the sword combat and great good on the review

  • your joke call backs are my favorite part of your reviews

  • Instead of trying to hit the bokoblin from the other side, try swinging vertically, his head was exposed. And you can recenter the pointer at the pause screen

  • @Haruthelight

    I'm aware of all of this.  His head is exposed, but when I put the Wii Remote in position, he'll block that attack too. I was showing horizontal because it was easier to demonstrate.

  • @StormDainProductions I agree with the complaints about the Bokoblin, but there is a better strategy to defeating them. They're much easier if you use the shield to knock them back when they swing. Once they're off balance, you can just unleash on them.

    Still, I felt they predicted your attacks too well which made them far too annoying to fight for such a common enemy.

  • @StormDainProductions I liked just to counter the dislike of the beginning of this video(though I know it was fake it just made me want to go "CROSS COUNTA!" because I like your stuff even though I know i'm probably gonna not like your review of this game due to me liking Zelda immensely)

  • I think I've come across the problem. On Youtube, the dislike button is the "different opinion" button. So you shouldn't be bothered by it Storm.

  • Funny. But I like the Game, thought I wasn't but I enjoy it, Still in dungeon 6.

  • Seems like 14 people are Storm Dain.

    

  • I thought the motion controls for flying your loftwing and landing in that damn circle after the wing ceremony were AWFUL...

  • Out of curiosity Storm, did you not like the game because you were bad at it (not saying you are bad, heck, I died a lot, too)? When I saw your review, that's what it sounded to me, but I could be wrong. You were also against that opinion in earlier reviews.

  • Nice video storm. What you were saying about each Zelda at the end in my opinion makes sense (Especially about Twilight princess being an RPG). Keep doing what you're doing because "something else in mind" can wait.

  • Comment removed

  • so who is future storm ?? :P, But anyway great review but Im not sure I agree with the fighting system it works fine for me you just got to be a litte umm gentle with your movements

  • You + Blonde hair wig = Kurt Cobain.

  • Dear Storm;

    I am truly sorry for all the retarded fans that ask the dumbest questions. That shit must get annoying.

  • Nice TV Storm.

  • I don't like any of the Zelda games, they always feel boring and to beat them you have to replay some sections 100,000,000 times or watch a walkthrough, which is really difficult with a console.

  • Wow I can't believe you didn't like SS, but I understand your objections in the video.

    I however can not understand how anyone could like TP over SS. TP was the 2nd worst zelda game ever (Zelda 2 was the worst).

    Still loved the video though.

  • @wiiviewr I dunno...I personally think Zelda 2 is a great game (regardless of how hard it is) and TP is just as good as SS but it's just my opinion.

  • seeing your review on my subscription page makes my day storm, thank you for posting your videos! <3

  • Honestly Storm, you are the best reviewer ever. And I did understand all your jokes without prompts. Keep up the great work!!

  • Storm Dain created 14 accounts to dislike his own video.

    Wait, what?

  • Storm, I've got to say, this is your best adventure yet. I laughed out loud on multiple occasions, your jokes felt fresh and varied, and your perspective on the game (as always) is very genuine. Keep up the good work; subscribers are right around the corner.

  • Don't worry Storm, I enjoy you'r Metal Gear jokes :)

  • cool vid but i wana see your batman review now :(

  • ive loved all the metal gear references, my user name should tell you why.

  • Thats a huge fucking moniter

  • After seeing your Crysis review, I am not at all surprised that you despised the combat. You ranted about the enemies being too intelligent & dodging your bullets. Likewise, in this vid, you complain that the enemies are too intelligent and are able to predict & block your blows.

  • I shit a brick when I saw this in my SUB box...

  • With the bokoblins, when they block vertically, I swing vertically. Dead.

  • Dungeons are what make the zelda games memorable

  • whoo!!!!!!

  • hmmm, if you're looking for awesome sword combat that doesn't get under your skin, try Red Steel 2. Not a request, just know that there is an awesome realistic sword game.

  • honestly, the running jokes are the best part of your videos.

  • @REDGUY2764 did storm inspire you to make your videos? cause i know urs r kinda like his

  • @lilg9686 storm did inspire my reviews, certainly, but there's another guy called Juan Ortiz (somecallmejohnny) who was my real inspiration. Still, yeah, Storm did inspire me.

  • HOLY MONKEY NUTS ANYTHER STORM VIDEO STORM U SHOULD REPLY TO ME LOL ROFLLMAO :3

  • And I have not seen your duke nukem video, but I'll do that.

  • After living in vegas for almost 7 years, I think it's alright but yea, I have a friend/"former" uncle who is in Reno and he says he likes it better there but I've never been there, but I want to go someday. And the weather, I usually don't mind it, I just hate the winter time around here (I hate winter in general) but at I'd rather have winter here than from where I'm from, Indiana.

    As far as the littlest biggest city on earth goes, it seems nice and pretty chill.

  • as a huge fan of twilight princess I was really excited about this but next to duke nukem forever this was one of the most disappointing games of the year 2011. Also how is it sunny under the clouds if there are a sea of clouds... I FOUND A PLOT HOLE NURSEEEEE

  • I am happier than I should be that you liked Wind Waker.

  • can you give a link for that annoying timeline picture?

  • I noticed your Metal Gear jokes.

  • HOLY SHIT, LOOK AT THAT FUKING TV!!!

  • I hated phantom hour glass. So much.

  • i had the same problem u did with the bokoblins in the beginning, but now they're really easy.

  • @HipYoungster42

    When the sword is fully upgraded, you can plow through them.

  • @StormDainProductions i haven't upgraded my sword once so far yet, and they're still really easy 4 me :p i honestly have more trouble with those yellow deku plant-things than the bokoblins

  • @StormDainProductions Ehhhh, I wouldn't say thaaat!

  • I noticed the metal gear stuff! Well, some of them.

  • @dorko4u I didn't say realistic, just more challenging. Up until this game, fighting most enemies in the series was boring and easy.

  • Did you at least enjoy the game or was it a completely unenjoyable experience for you?

  • @TheNJGamers

    As I said, the dungeons were amazing.

  • That TV is enormous, Storm! What the hell.

  • At this point I don't care if you ever adventure on Batman.

  • sorry you felt that way, i really loved this game

  • Okami is the most sexiest game of all time.

  • What did you think of the music CD that came with the game?

  • what made you upgrade to that awesome tv? :)

  • I have to say - I'm so happy someone agrees with me about the controls. Those god damn Bokoblins pissed me off, SO MUCH. AND THE SWIMMING. Oh, god. I had to reconnect my Wii Remote many a time. Many. a time. I mean, sure, sometimes the sword controls were fascinating - when they worked. But that's like... well, like congratulating Nintendo for making the game do what the controls say they do. -writhes-

  • @TheWeegieGamer knights of the old republic

  • @L0LProductions100 Whatever.

  • Finally, a person who agrees. Consistent fucking backtrack was just, fucking annoying and tiring. And the control system is just not fun. Yea sure i swing left he swings left, i swing downward vertical he swings from so, but the addition of this game being based on an annoying concept is not fun. Sure people like "realism" and how its "supposed" to be like a "real" swordfight. Fuck that, a button is way more satisying to me, I liked Skyward Sword... just would rather watch someone else play it.

  • I think Skyward Sword is pretty easy but that's probably because I haven't played a Zelda game in forever.

    I honestly can't say I prefer this SS to TP only because in TP I felt invested in most of the characters. Although the Zelda/Link relationship is more amazing, I was more interested in Link and Midna in TP because their friendship had some progression and Midna is just overall a more interesting companion then Fi who only seems to chime in to state the obvious or else make me feel important

  • I was Skeptical of the controls for Skyward Sword, I was thinking about purchasing it, even when I was at Best Buy just yesterday, trying out the new controls... but I would need a Wii Motion Plus. So in the end, the HD Collection of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus and a Blu-Ray Copy of X-Men: First Class was in my Best Buy bag.

  • hey storm, do you own a 3ds?

  • douchbag fan: you forget Zelda CDI games.

  • @RKTGX95

    Douchbag Content Creator: I listed the games that I've played.

  • @StormDainProductions

    but Storm, you tought us the power of ignoring douchbag fans.

    btw, have you won something on the steam holiday sale ? (coal?)

  • @StormDainProductions How strange, some other content creator must have hacked into Storm's Channel.

  • I understand your point about the controls fighting the bokoblin, but that's how a real sword fight would go. What I like about this game was that enemies were actually smart is blocking attacks and it wasn't just mash a button to kill them.

  • @mrflame2000 You are defending the fighting as realistic? I have to say that "fun" and "realistic" are often opposite to each other.

  • @mrflame2000 the only thing keeping it as a real sword fight is that fast reflexe movements are counted as sword swings. That kinda ruins the point, doesn't it?

  • @mrflame2000 Which Storm has completley forgotten the point. And aren't most Zelda games are like fetch quests too? Not that I'm saying they are.

  • @mrflame2000 guess what YOU'RE TRYING TO JUSTIFY VALID COMPLAINTS!

  • Thank you storm,

    Finally somebody who agrees with my points about skyward sword and

    isn't afraid to speak ill of the sacred cow.

  • @slashslayer55

    Okay. And I believe my argument was the controls were a little too responsive.

  • wow..... you hate this game -_- its amazing but its your oppinon

    so no hate from me

  • @slashslayer55

    Okay. And I believe my argument was the controls were a little too responsive.

  • I love the fact that I've been here from th beginning and get every little reference.

  • @slashslayer55

    Okay. And I believe my argument was the controls were a little too responsive.

  • I personally think this is the best zelda game ever, wind waker at a close second. With the horizontal attack thing your were talking about i was just thinking "vertical swing remember?" i thought the fighting rocked along with the adventure pouch and durability and stamina. But hey everyones got opinions

  • @Sword7Movies

    Those bastards blocked from every angle. I was showing horizontal because is was easiest to demonstrate.

  • @StormDainProductions

    Yeah they do that..alot. But I remember also having to fake them out a bit. But yeah first time I played that game I was struggiling to strike them xD

  • Storm just that beginning scene all ready made me laugh! You rock!

  • FUK YOU STORM!ZELDA SKYWARD SWORD PWNS ALL GAMES

  • God i love your vids to death lol theyre the most anticipated vids of all my subscriptions

    P.s. have u ever been to las vegas, and if so, do u think its better than reno, jus curious cuz, u live in reno, and i live in vegas but never been to reno

  • @RPDstars303

    Ah, a fellow Nevadan.

    I've been to Las Vegas for business, pleasure, and rescue. I wish I lived there because of the weather. After growing up in Oregon, I don't think I would mind 120 degrees in the shade. And visiting the strip is always fun.

    But I always hear from others Reno is better. We got the casinos, and all that, plus the town is small that you can get anywhere in under 30 minutes.

    Did you see my Duke Nukem Forever video? I ran a short comparison.

  • Hey Storm, did you make sure you weren't pulling a Gamespot with the controls?

  • @Frijolero18

    I'm going to need an explanation...what did GameSpot do?

  • @StormDainProductions they were always pointing the controller at the screen rather than holding it like a sword, making the controls seem sucky, thus giving it a crappy score(at least for Zelda standards)

  • Hey Storm, I heard that Destructoid gave MK7 a 5.0 out of 10. Does that mean it's a bad game and I should reconsider buying it?

  • @HARVESTANtrademark Its not a bad game. Its not as good as the wii version but it has great online multiplayer for a 3ds game. The 3D works great and there are a lot of unlockables characters and karts. It plays like the other Mario kart games in the past.

  • @HARVESTANtrademark Mario Kart 7 is the best mario kart expiriance out there. I fucking love it. If you have a 3ds, you owe it to urself because u bought it for first party games..I played the Wii game after a day in solitude with my 3ds and I got bored of it after one race.

  • Hey Storm, I am glad you talked about the Bokoblin issue. Though I do like the control system, I have noticed that annoying problem time and time again. Also thank you for another wonderful adventure!

  • lol talt

  • Oh but storm I have no problems with inside jokes,I've been a fan since 08-09!But Iunderstand why there are new fans who wouldn't know.Great review tho!

  • HUUUUUUGE SCREEN!!!!

  • You basically summed up everything i hated about the controls in Skyward Sword.

  • Also: Twilight princess is not an RPG, Storm is an Idiot

  • @Muffincakeswithsugar its an action adventurer RPG
