Skyward Sword vs Skyrim: Travelling

If you remember a while back, we are pitting Skyward Sword against Skyrim. (Yes, I know, Skyrim isn't Nintendo...haters will hate) Anyway,  I (4EVER, the one whose opinion actually matters) will be comparing the various aspects of Skyward Sword and Skyrim. Oh, and for those fanboys out there claiming I will be biased simply because I'm writing this in on the Nintendo Blog as opposed to the Other Games blog...silence. And for those about to say: "SKYRIM HAS BETTER GRAPHICSZ!!!" Shut up.

Skyward Sword: Most of the travelling done in this game is done either on foot or Loftwing. Exploration on foot is made much easier than previous Zelda games thanks to the addition of a stamina meter. This not only allows him to sprint, but run up walls. Whenever you discover an new area and progress forward, the game always make a simple but clever way of allowing you to return to the older sections, usually by making you push down a log to climb up a wall from a position that was previously impossible to climb. In the Sky, Link travels around on the back of his Loftwing. You can fly through the sky in a very fun to control bird and explore the floating islands. Unfortunately, the Sky is a little empty, with little to explore other than searching for chests and Goddess cubes. Using the Loftwing, Link can Sky dive into lands below the clouds. When he does, you can choose roughly where to land. This saves a lot of travel time that was in other Zelda games.

Skyrim: The travelling in Skyrim gives you options. You can fast travel places if you don't want to walk to, but at the same time you can walk anywhere and let adventure find you. Thanks to the vast amount of content, it is worth walking the walk in Skyrim. You could be attacked by wolves, see a prisoner taken to be executed, find a cave or encounter a dragon. Moving in Skyrim can be done by running with a stamina bar, or on horse. However, Horses seem to disregard physics as they can walk on surfaces that range from flat to 89 degrees. Controlling horses is a little awkward though. By the way, you also find words which are linked to shouts. Definitely worth your while to go exploring.

Skyward Sword vs Skyrim: Story

If you remember a while back, we are pitting Skyward Sword against Skyrim. (Yes, I know, Skyrim isn't Nintendo...haters will hate) Anyway,  I (4EVER, the one whose opinion actually matters) will be comparing the various aspects of Skyward Sword and Skyrim. Oh, and for those fanboys out there claiming I will be biased simply because I'm writing this in on the Nintendo Blog as opposed to the Other Games blog...silence. And for those about to say: "SKYRIM HAS BETTER GRAPHICSZ!!!" Shut up.

Skyward Sword: To begin, I must say that this is the best story in a Zelda game to date. Although it remains formulaic (Zelda is captured, save her) so much is new. This story brings together the history of the Zelda franchise and explains the reason many of the series' stories exist in the first place. A prequel, this game tells the epic tale of Link trying to save his childhood friend Zelda from the land below. Set in a land above the clouds, all the people there never go below for fear of monsters and their birds won't go down. When Zelda is taken, you must go below the clouds to rescue her. Soon, you uncover the plot of the Demon Lord Ghirahim as he tries to resurrect his Master using Zelda. The story also has some wonderful characters. Just about everyone is memorable, from the dialogue, to the exaggerated actions they perform, you will love the tale told in this game and you will love the characters; from the evil Ghirahim to the small roles of Calwin and Pipit. 

Skyrim: The story in this game feels like a tale from a huge fantasy book brought to life. A tale of rebellion (civil war) and Dragons, this is immense. Actually, there are so many stories in Skyrim you will find it hard to find them all. Some are really interesting like the main story and the Winterhold quests, while some are very dull. A good story is when you have to plunder an ancient dungeon in search of a magical artifact. Those stories bring up the fantasy writer in all of us. Bad stories fall on: I left my butt scratcher in the cave of death. Could you get it for me/]? Overall though, Skyrim has a great tale. The characters are unfortunately forgettable and uninteresting. The script writing isn't strong enough for people †o like these characters and they all blend together. Most of the time, you'll see: guy on throne = Jarl (king) and never be interested enough to remember his name. Overall though, the better stories in Skyrim more than make up for the lackluster ones and the weak characters

Why Majora's Mask terrifies me

The first thing would be the moon. COME ON! IT'S STARING AT YOU ALL THE TIME WITH A FACE THAT SCREAMS EVIL! You can not only feel it getting closer in the back of your mind, knowing that it is slowly making its way towards you, but if you look up, you can see it getting closer each day. The other creepy thing is the time limit. Arrgh. It makes me want to go and hide, but then go back out and play it because if I don;t everyone will die! It's such a strange feeling knowing that everyone you talk to will die as an inevitability. Not like in other games where you know some will die but you can't control it, these people will die if you don;t succeed. And that's the final thing. Death. Every mask you wear not only takes away your hero of time prowess (which is scary enough) it contains the soul of a dead species. These are just some of the reasons why Majora's Mask is scary. 

And that music. Oh god that wonderful music: 

ZEKROM! RESHIRAM! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUUU?????

Well, i juts found out that there is going to be a pokemon black 2 and pokemon white 2.
VERY CREATIVE TITLES, but what intruiged me more, was this:


it appears that pokemon will be able to fuse with other ones...
i think...
I DONT KNOW! OK!
ALL I CAN SEE IS THAT ZEKROM, RESHIRAM, AND KYRUEM WILL BE FUSING TOGETHER.
or something like that.

5th Generation Pokemon Bio: Braviary, Mandibuzz and unphesant

We all have them, flying pokemon.

But why? and if yes, which one?

thats why im here. to tell you which one.

also, a quick note, Braviary is only available in White, and mandibuzz in black.

Unpheasant is available in both games.

Braviary: Base stats

HP:100

Attack: 123

Defense: 70

Sp Attack: 57

Sp defense: 75

Speed: 80

Braviary is rather slow for a flying type. However, its attack is incredibly high. Your best bet with braviary is, if it does get hit, pray that it doesnt faint, then strike back with all its force.

Mandibuzz base stats

HP:110

Attack:65

Defense: 105

SP Attack: 55

Sp Defense:95

Speed: 80

Again, no great wonders with speed in the case of mandibuzz. but it can sure take a hit. from both physical and special attacks. A good pokemon for outlasting attacks from legendary pokemon whilst chipping away at their health.

Unpheazant base stats

HP:80

Attack: 105

Defense: 80

SP attack: 65

Sp Defense: 55

Speed: 93

unpheazant is the first flying type you encounter (in its base form...)

but it is your typical flying type. it can dish it out, but cannot take many hits...

Many thanks to http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/
which is where i got The base stats from, and google images, which is where the images are from.

3DS games to look out for

The 3DS has some pretty cool games already, but here are some which you must look out for.


5.) Animal Crossing 3D.
This life sim is more or less an add on to an existing formula, but it works. What made Wild World better than City Folk was its pick up and play nature, now that it returns to a handheld with new features, Animal Crossing is well worth your time.












4.) Kid Icarus: Uprising
The developer behind Super Smash Bros is working on this and that alone is reason enough ti pick this up. Also, we haven't had a Kid Icarus game for many years and it would be cool to see what can be done to the franchise on a 3DS. 










3.) Super Smash Bros 3DS

SSBB was amazing (although some would disagree) and with a new one confirmed for the 3DS, we should all be much happier. Never played a Smash Bros game? You are missing out on one of the most fun fighting experiences out there.












2.) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D

After Ocarina of Time 3D, people wanted more. After Nintendo's "It's not without possibility" response, the fans put together project Moonfall, a petition to convince Nintendo to re-release the game on the 3DS. It acquired 10,000 signatures in 5 days. Nintendo haven't confirmed it, but their reaction to the petition to it was positive. Fingers crossed.






1.) Zelda 3DS

When talking about re-releasing Majora's Mask, Nintendo stated it wouldn't feel right to release another remake right after Ocarina of Time, then said that they wanted to get an original Zelda on the market first. CONFIRMED! NEW ZELDA ON 3DS!!! A Zelda game is like Chirstmas to me, as it is to others and after the awesomeness that was Skyward Sword, I'm looking forward to more new titles.


C u round!
