Weekend Confirmed 87 - Zelda: Skyward Sword, Halo Anniversary, Skyrim
by Garnett Lee, Nov 18, 2011 11:00am PSTLink's next adventure, the Legend of Zelda: Skyward sword kept Billy--who also penned the Shacknews.com review--enthralled for over fifty hours. Jeff also dusted off his Wii to play it and the two of them have plenty of praise for the game to get the show started. Xav also returns to round out the rest of the cast joining Garnett this week. He's been adventuring in Skyrim and rediscovering Halo, in the ten year anniversary HD remake. With the momentous time on everyone's mind, we look back at the original Xbox, and lest we be remiss, Billy makes sure we remember the GameCube as well as it too turns ten. Along the way we also talk about how the big games of October fared at the register, which of them now reigns supreme online, and more before wrapping it up with Finishing Moves and weekly football tailgate.

If a smaller, less well-known game had come out with the same kind of bugs that Bethesda's games came out with, it would get slaughtered in the press.
I have no idea why game sites seem to go easy on Bethesda where they wouldn't on a different developer.
And no, I'm not just ripping on Bethesda for no reason. I bought the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 for PS3, brand new. I got nine hours in and couldn't continue. The game locked up and froze every time I left Megaton. It wasn't my PS3 either. I ended up trading it in and buying the 360 version.
There's absolutely no reason for that to happen.

Personally, I won't go anywhere near an Xbox product now. But then I think about how invested I am in Wii and PS3. I wonder why gamers who got 10+ defective 360s don't rid themselves of that hunk of junk, sell their games and switch to Playstation.
But would I sell off my PS3 and games if the situation was reversed?
Well, no. I want to play The Last Guardian.
People get emotionally invested in their favorite game series much like they invest themselves in their console of choice. If Skyward Sword had bugs on the level of Skyrim I would still get Zelda. Because I love Zelda.
I got Metroid Other M despite what they did to Samus. Sometimes we're willing to put up with a lot of shit, no matter how much it hurts.
