Day 6?










Sonic 06 is actually so bad, that fixing it would make it a worse game.

Anyway so today we have the Zelda game that almost exclusively uses motion controls and made a lot of people question the franchise's future until BOTW happened

- More stuff to do or good places to visit in the sky. It's way too empty.
- Fix flying motion controls.

Those are my big two. I actually enjoyed most of the backtracking because the ground worlds were so good.

I have no idea what to say about this game because I felt like it was totally mediocre except for most of the bosses being fun.

Nominate Devil May Cry 2.

- Make Fi less intrusive
- Less exposition telling the player what to do, more "let the player figure it out for themselves"
- Get rid of SOME motion controls (swimming, bomb rolling, and flying can go)
- Get rid of the second Imprisoned fight (the third is different enough to keep, but there's no need for three total)
- New boss for the Fire Sanctuary rather than an old boss recycled
- Change or get rid of the flooded forest section near the end

I love Skyward Sword, but there are so many flaws that, if addressed, could result in a true masterpiece of a game imo.

Kill Fi

95% of the game's problems are fixed after that.

Combat and quite a bit of puzzle solving has to be completely reworked if you trash all motion controls.

Literally the entire game is built around motion controls. They're not even bad.

Edit: The flying and swimming is bad though. No reason to involve the controls in every action. Still, Fi is worse.

1. Remove "Master your wiimote's batteries are nearly depleted."
2. Remove truth stones or whatever the fuck they were called.
3. Replace all copy cat bosses with brand new bosses.
4. Make flying faster and give you more stuff to do in the air. Flying should not be even worse sailing.
5. Tone down the use of the beetle and/or make the beetle move much faster.
6. Change the Tadnote quest or remove it.
7. Eliminate emphasis on fetch quests.
8. Add fishing
9. Add an on screen indicator somehow on where your motion is moving so you can adjust for enemies that require more precise movements.
10. Change the game story where the time stone is a key element to it.

-More things to explore overall
-Remove the "Fetch Quests" like finding the stupid pieces of the key
-Reduce use of Motion Controls (Super Mario Odyssey got it just right)
-Make Fii scarce
-More Groose.

Only on this website would a Final Fantasy game flat out beat the other (more interesting 9 games to rant about) in the poll.

Include voice acting (seriously even back in 2011, you still can't include voice acting in the game?)

oh god I don't ever want to agree with Preston

but yeah can we please not have another Final Fantasy game already? That'll make 3 in the first 6 days. It's quickly becoming Fix Final Fantasy series (ft. other games occasionally)

Maybe we should nominate Final Fantasy Tactics Advance so we can get the inveitable "Make Marche not the villain" and "Remove the Judge system" out of the way

A 3/10 game like this needs a lot of fixing.

-No Fi
-15+ hours shorter (too much filler! Remove the unnecessary fetch quests before getting into a dungeon in particular)
-Better characters (Groose is the only one worth a damn)
-More intuitive motion controls (or none at all), improve the calibration if kept
-Add warping to any entry point
-Make it a game instead of a guided tour

How does the game work on the WiiU if the motion controls are so built in?

Alright, here comes my fun.

1) Faster text boxes, it was a crawl before and a nuisance.
2) Quiet Fi down, she was way too handholdy and we didn't need her reiterating the exact objective we were just told.
3) Speed up Loftwing flying and make diving have a notable impact, it didn't feel like it sped up at all.
4) Remove the second visit to Eldin Volcano, you'll see why soon.
5) Make the dragon visits to Eldin and Faron into new areas like Lanayru, my examples:
> Faron can add a new diving area that comes out of the original place you met Faron's dragon. We can have some manner of underwater puzzle just to get to the dragon instead, instead of flooding the main area.
> Eldin can have the Fire Sanctuary be the stealth mission. Rebuild the dungeon to utilize all of your items over the course of it, with some underground paths to the items that use the dungeon's item in the stealth. Keep Ghiriham as the boss, but make him capable of being damaged by other items, rather than be a rehash of the first fight.
6) Add fishing like Kokoro said, that's interesting.
7) Make the harp more interesting, not swiping back and forth.

Might be it.
