I like musou games generally, but AoC wasn't particularly fun to play. Missions dragged on way too long and were full of padding, and the rune system was outright annoying most of the time. Also suffered from endless generic generals, but that's what you get when you base it solely off a game that only had Koga as someone who'd fit the bill. Got bored and dropped it about a quarter the way through. Hope they give this the Three Hopes treatment and make it a more traditional musou that's not constrained by trying to force poorly implemented gimmicks from the game its based on.
>>
>>726060397
In a sense. I thought ToTK's story fell flat because it was pretty half-assed, so a lot of the payoff in the plot didn't really hit for me because the setup wasn't that strong. AoI fleshes a lot of that stuff out and I imagine I would have enjoyed ToTK more with that build up.

I miss when the battlefield actually mattered, like in the first Hyrule Warriors and the Fire Emblem ones. Age of Calamity and Imprisonment just feel like straight action games (in a game where the combat system isn't really its biggest strength), you're just running from big enemy to big enemy. Killing the little dudes or capturing keeps doesn't really matter and you don't need to worry about losing keeps either. It's that battlefield management which added a layer of strategy and difficulty to the games, so they're not really playing to the genres strengths.

I finished it 100% the other day.
Combat felt very fluid overall which was very enjoyable. The game hitting 60 fps most of the time felt amazing coming from AoC which constantly felt like it ran at 20 fps.
Chracters were a bit of a miss but I blame that mostly on TOTK, since that game gave no characterization at all to the sages, we didn't even know their names/faces before this game.
Also legitimately surprised Sonia and Ganondorf weren't unlockable characters in the postgame, especially since the character select screen has a very prominent empty spot.

Overall good game. Not my favorite musou but enjoyed my time with it.
>>
>>726059410
I'm playing it right now and it's great. Link Construct is a total chadbot. He gives off Stranger of Paradise "I'm going to kill Ganon" vibes without saying a single word. The OCs are also cooler than I thought they'd be. Having a bunch of soldiers follow the Link Construct and Calamo in his war path is a cool fantasy and their kits are fun to play with. The boss fights are super fun. I'm a pretty casual musou fan who played FE Warriors and Three Hopes but bounced off Age of Calamity due to its low frame rate but AoI is gorgeous and runs really well with fps drops only going down to around 55 fps under load. Honestly I'm not sure why people are giving this game so much shit on /v/ outside of parroting doomer posts from before the game came out.
>>
>>726059410
No one cares about ToTK story and especially not about these generic OCs.
Hyrule Warriors was a big success because it had characters everyone loved from several different games spanning across the entire franchise. This and the BotW spin-off both miss that point entirely, and while the BotW one had the pre-release hype of playing through the defeat to Calamity Ganon setup in BotW they couldn't even commit to that and made it some lame alternate timeline bullshit instead. TotK's story was worse and absolutely no one gives a shit about it anymore.
>>
>>726060397
The evil zonai construct kind of explains why Rauru didn't just go kill Ganondorf the moment Sonia was assassinated, since he's more concerned with stopping the ancient genocide robot than getting revenge on little bro

Because for every kinda good or neat change they made to it, it comes with an equal negative.
Generic warriors that offer new weapon and race combinations, only one race actually has three weapon types between the generics and the champion and they have absolutely no story presence.
New type of special attack but they all do exact same things across all of them (shout out to my zigga Lago for have an actual unique mechanic on one of his). Also you only get a whole five buttons to assign the specials, tools, and fusion attacks otherwise you have to go through the godawful BotW/TotK/EoW menus.
And then it's just an even more bland AoC.
It is truly the Tears of the Kingdom to AoC's Breath of the Wild.

Nobody cares about Warriors games focused on one entry in a series, the first Hyrule Warriors was popular because it had everything
>>
>>726063778
Hyrule Warriors sold well on Wii U because there wasn't much else to play at the time. The Definitive Edition did okay for a Wii U port but it didn't break a million. Age of Calamity sold four million copies. When given the option people aren't going to gravitate towards the fanservice musous over the ones that are billed as their own experiences. The same was obvious from the Fire Emblem Warriors games. It took Three Hopes two months to sell as many copies as FEW sold in a year, and FEW had a massive bump due to being an early release on Switch where every new game mattered.

Are musou games like hack n slashes? With tons of combos and shit?

Kinda, though it's less about doing flasy combos and more about dealing with huge crowds of enemies at once.
>>
>>726064894
lol no
>>
>>726064894
More like button mashers, combos are mostly stuff like x-x-x-y or x-x-x-x-x-y type stuff with occasional mash or hold for the "combo button" depending on the character.
Depending on game they can range from slightly mindless to absolutely no brain activity required, AoC/AoI are on the no brain activity side.

People spooked by Age of calamity even though this basically addresses a lot of its complaints.
>>
>>726060397
>>726060713
Yes and no.
It didn't answer the most important question of all: did Sonia and Rauru have a kid, because how else would the bloodline continue? (Maybe for a DLC story, but I won't bet on it... Ganondorf's Gerudo loyalists kind of disappear after he becomes Demon King, so maybe they are off trying to assassinate the heir(s) in some side plot)
The questions it does answer were never really all that important.

However I do like Zelda-Doomguy in the form of not-Link. It kind of shows that Link and the Master Sword are one. They share the desire to seek out evil and destroy it and to protect the innocent. Even their combat style is the same. And the Master Sword alone can competently fight evil, but not fully destroy it. Link on his own can competently fight evil but not really destroy it, the two need to be together.

So far every Hyrule Warriors game only made villain characters playable with a later update, even Age of Calamity didn't initially allow you to play as the villains, same for the OG Hyrule Warriors on WiiU. I assume it will be similar here.

I absolutely BET that Sonia will become playable, since there is literally one free slot in the character selection screen left in the first row... every row has 4 characters except the first one that includes Zelda, Rauru and Mineru. So just by the fact that Sonia fits there based on the relation of everyone in that row and that the row only has 3 characters, I think she will be the first to be released.

That and Raphica is so far the ONLY character to have the Bow weapon archetype. Sonia would make it a 2nd character that would justify the Bow being it's own type.
>>
>>726061967
I'm really liking AoI but I agree with this. Luckily you can exploit type weaknesses and stagger bosses super fast which is really fun. Choosing my party almost feels like playing a pokemon game at times since I'm so focused on typing. This and EoW have Zelda and Pokémon inching closer and closer to each other, they'll make my dream game soon enough (Pokémon by Nintendo EPD with BotW physics and classic OoT style dungeons using your Pokémon moves in the place of key items)
>>

>even Age of Calamity didn't initially allow you to play as the villains
Calamity Ganon was base game which is why I was confused at no Dorf for this game. I didn't play the first HW

>>726060713
Similar experience for me. I thought the sages were great, loved the random OC's for each race and how they fleshed out the champions, the culture at the time, and made the war really feel like it was dragging in all these non-heroes whose only chance to live was to fight anyway. Ardi's arc and change of heart is well done, Pinnec is a total chad and an obvious Lu Bu expy. Lago was a great character in general, love me some old retired soldiers who have to pick up the blade once more.

All the new lore fleshed out Rauru's leadership and the past, we learned how the Zonai were all killed and why they don't lean on their technology as much as they once did. We got to see how the Zonai stripped the land and that Rauru basically had guilt over what his ancestors did to Hyrule, and that while Ganon's umbrage at their people was justified it was still just an excuse for him to be the powermongering cunt he always was (yes, even in Windwaker).

Game was a legit 8/10 for story for me. I didn't expect much but it was great for filling out the past that TotK barely explored.

>>726063005
Damn, you're saying totk's era had ONLY ONE GERUDO (aside from 'dorf)? wow, didn't know that bit about the lore.

I hope Ganondorf is like link or the knight construct where he has different movesets for every weapon. He already sort of does with all of the phantom ganon movesets

22 million sold with one of the most widely publicized street date breaks and rampant piracy just to play it early sure is interest slowing down. Youtubers made "it's no masterpiece" videos about it so it must suck and Nintendo should pack it in and call it quits. Aonuma should kill himself too.

>>726064894
the newer ones are more hack and slash, they keep adding aerial combat, parries, stringing staggers to do more damage and the usual hack and slash staples into the series. It kind of sucks because it removes all of the map control elements which was the unique part of the older games, but people wanted the combat to be a bigger focus so it is what it is.
>>
>>726065390
I really hate the direction they've taken the Sheikah over the years. they went from ninjas so hidden you literally never saw one outside of Impa, despite their village being the main town in the game, to "lol welcome to HIDDEN NINJA VILLAGE, WHERE WE ALL DRESS LIKE JAPANESE NINJAS".
>>
>>726062369
The characters feel a bit less unique especially the 8 nameless goobers.
Essentially every race has 3 members: the big star character and 2 others and the 2 others are usually "the older veteran" and "the young soldier".

The movesets may feel a bit less unique but that is by virtue of them having removed all that special gauge management from previous entries. That's because you now have to take care of the special attack gauge, the sync attack gauge, your battery gauge for Zonai devices (shared between all characters) and your cooldown for "unique skills"... having another gauge on top of THAT i.e. for electric attack charges like Urbosa had would be complete overkill now.

However the game plays very smooth now, and by using the Zonai devices right you can absolutely stunlock and erase weakpoint gauges of elite monsters. However overall I'd say this is the easiest HW to date, but that may also partially be by virtue of it running at 60fps from the outset, which makes dodging much easier. However postgame quests that have "Vicious monsters" are absolutely BRUTAL.
>>
>>726065579
Fuck yes, same with those camp side missions too. It adds an extra level of meta progression to the fights so you are constantly trying to do things in unique ways or mix up how you fight to get the rewards. In the original HW:DE they had the adventure maps unlocked with meta things like that to make the slog of boring missions feel more interesting, AoI does that inside the missions themselves to give you more to think about while you play. It's a good addition.

Putting it all in such plain sight was a really bad move that destroyed all the mysticism. Would've been better if the Shiekah remained a mystery in BOTW, with the village being completely missable unless you do an extensive optional quest to sniff them out. However, this doesn't fly with modern Nintendo game design.
>>
>>726065872
>they must have seen a thing that didn't happen
It's still the second best selling game in the series by a country mile and continues the usual practice of selling moderate numbers. BOTW was in a unique situation as both a dual-console release and a long-term killer app that may never be replicated unless they use another Zelda to launch a console.

I tried playing Hyrule Warriors back when the definitive edition came out and I couldn't stand it. It felt like the Japanese TV show version of the franchise and gave off a really bad first impression. Like the fun was in how much you'd enjoy the shallow TV show version of all the characters pulled from games you might like along with horribly unfitting OC villains.

Read what I said again. It took two months for Three Hopes to sell as much as FEW sold in a year at a time when FEW had outside eyes on it due to being an uncontested release on a platform without much to play. We don't have exact numbers but Three Hopes selling extremely fast for a musou on a mature platform with tons of games to choose from is an endorsement.

No one cares about the story. People like hyrule warriors for adventure mode, it also has better mechanics beyond the combat. AoC and AoI go all in on the combat at the expense of everything else (not the best idea, because when you're just playing a game for the combat there's better games to play), there's no battlefield management at all, in the first HW that stuff actually matters, and its absence in AoC and AoI means there's a whole layer of depth which is just gone.

>being an uncontested release on a platform without much to play

To be fair it came out right next to fucking Super Mario Odyssey. Most people blame FE Radiant Dawn's disastrous sales for launching right next to Galaxy so the fact that a huge ass flagship 3D Mario didn't choke out Fire Emblem Warriors 1, and indeed FEW selling more than basically every other Fire Emblem up to that point not named Awakening or Fates, is more a testament to its tenacity.
>>
>>
>>726068413
BotW is an impossible bar to reach. It's THE system seller for the Switch's entire lifespan. TotK is the eighth highest selling game on the Switch while being one of the last major first party releases. And it has a 96 on metacritic. No amount of grift videos or bitching on forums from people who were already bitching about BotW for years for not being the same fucking Zelda game we had gotten five times already are going to bend reality in the ways you want.

NTA, I enjoyed TotK but the bitching is from two sides actually. One group is, like you said, the people who already didn't like BotW and hated TotK even more because it doubled down. The second group is those that played the ever loving shit out of BotW, and were quickly underwhelmed that TotK felt like more of a retread than an entirely new game like new games in the past, while also not really adding to the lore in a significant way. TotK is getting double fucked currently. They took a risk in reusing the world and I can't say it fully paid off for them.

Ganondorf, Zant and Ghirahim are playable in OG Hyrule Warriors base game. The story mode has a 3-episode arc where you play as Ganondorf and steal the Triforce from the heroes.

Cia, Wizzro and Volga were added later via a free update, however.

HW2 is long overdue, enough of the solo musou titles already.

I like the game but I'm just disappointed they didn't do a Mario musou for SMB's 40th anniversary this year.

It's weird that the big highlight of a Mario milestone was a Galaxy 2 port and a movie coming out. Like sure Nintendo will probably announce a new 3D Mario right on the cusp of its release just to capitalize on the billions of dollars the movie will make, since they made sure to highlight that DK Bananza was mostly made by a newer junior team within EPD 8. But still. I would expect this more muted celebration from Zelda/Metroid's 40th anniversary next year.

I am just not interested. The setting is boring and fucked out beyond belief. TotK’s flashback story was not nearly as interesting as BotW’s, it seemed like an afterthought because they literally did not even bother to give the sages a name or a personality. Why am I supposed to care about them and want to play as them now? Then you have nauseating British Zelda front and center again, surrounded by a bunch of random OCs. Barf. I love musou gameplay, and I love the Zelda franchise, and they somehow managed to make a game that does not appeal to me in the slightest. Astounding.

What was the reaction? I don't remember anybody talking about Age of Calamity at all. I mean shit, there are motorcycles in the game, and TotK's story is about time travel, as opposed to BotW's.

This is why this game emphasized it being "canon" in the marketing so much, and why the story sticks so hard to the events in TOTK, only adding stuff in-between.

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was all stupid too, but nothing to get angry about. It's not exactly a work of art, with or without the time travel. None of Zelda's storied are all that great, canon or otherwise.
I'll take time travel if its written well, AKA when somebody else controls the IP and actually introduces some standards and creativity. Until then, I'll just keep fapping to Zelda's thighs.

I don't get why they didn't use that as an opportunity to reintroduce the triforce, that can literally grant any wish or do anything.

I thought Hyrule Warriors was a lot more fun since it felt like some big Super Robot Wars crossover between all the Zelda entries.

At this point the Triforce is pretty retarded too, since it's tied to the Golden Goddesses, who are the worst, most nonsensical part of the lore.
What I really don't get is, why can't a hero die? It's a fucking anthology series that recycles the same plot beats and characters anyway but calls them new every time. It's not like Zelda's ACTUALLY dead, but THAT Zelda would be. So what? It would've been nice.
The worst part is the same shit happens in BotW.

Literally nothing happens in these games except Castle Town gets BTFO, and that's in a fucking flashback. Calamity does nothing. Ganondorf does less than nothing. Monsters don't do anything. Guardians don't do anything. Citizens of Hyrule don't care or aren't concerned with anything and suffer only mild discomforts from what are described as otherwise cataclysmic antagonists.
The craziest, most antagonistic thing to happen in-game is some fucking sheep get stolen by some bokoblins in a sidequest.

It's actually fine specifically in the final fight because you can fuse it and the fusion will never end for the entire duration of all the fights (because fusing onto the master sword ends when the sword breaks from running out of durability but its durability is infinite during this part) from the beginning where you fight the army outside the doors all the way to the credits.

My man I played the game when it came out and had no prior knowledge. The scenes were mediocre in the moment, and ultimately ruined in retrospect by the ending. The story is not a part, it's a whole. Beginning, middle and end.
Analyzing the scene by itself, I feel nothing. The buildup to the sacrifice is hilariously bad, the context surrounding the mechanics of the sacrifice are retarded, and of course, it turns out there is no sacrifice.
On top of which, the emotional tie between Zelda and Link that is driving her is virtually nonexistent, since they have minimal screentime together (across two games) and one isn't even a character.
Romeo and Juliet was published in 1597, features two actual characters with open, affectionate dialogue, believable and logical adversity that comes between them, and irreversible tragedies that ultimately separate (and at the same time bind) them.

>Calamity Ganon works just fine. It's a massive shade seeping out from underground as Rauru's seal weakens.
He works fine like a motor works fine, but I'm not talking about if he makes sense anymore, I still think he makes sense. I think he's a weaker from a story perspective than what was presented in BoTW. BoTW implied that Calamity Ganon was the result of Ganon's frequent defeats and revivals from the older games, and that cycle repeated so long that he longer even had a physical form anymore and turned into pure malice. Creating a champion went beyond implications and outright confirmed that was the intention.
Then they started writing ToTK and needed to figure out how to introduce Ganondorf and as a result the previous explanation for Calamity Ganon no longer made sense, so they had to write a new one and they did, but this new Calamity Ganon origin is just a lot weaker than the old one and holds a lot less thematic weight, and it further distances BoTW from the rest of the zelda games.
ToTK as a whole pretty much takes BoTW and cuts away its links to the older games, now it's a completely new ganondorf to the main ganon of the series, it's a completely new hyrule unrelated to the old one, it has its own imprisoning war completely different to the old one from zelda, it has its own sacred power in the secret stones with the triforce ignored. It's like they actively wanted to pull away from all the older games, so just about the only one that still holds some relevance is skyward sword because of the master sword, fi and hylia, which just happens to also be a Fujibayashi game and story.

How about describing them as they actually are in the game?
Thunderstorms aren't the issue of Zora's Domain, it's the endless rainfall that threatens to break the dams, which will flood the Domain and potentially Hyrule. Kind of a legitimate threat. I'll give this one a little bit of credit, even though it's kind of goofy that Zora's Domain is landlocked instead of being connected to the sea which it is right next to and is an easy solution to flooding, but fuck it.
The Rito get knocked down if they fly too high. Not if they fly at all, they're not surface-bound because of it. Just too high, and only in the immediate vicinity. That's it. Why would they want to fly that high to begin with? It's fun, maybe. I don't know, they don't specify. AHHHH, SAVE ME PRINCESS ZELDA!
The sandstorms in Gerudo Desert have zero impact on Gerudo Town or Kara Kara Bazaar or the trade route from the desert to the mainland. They're isolated around a camel that's pepetually going in circles around nothing. Why would anybody go near it? Don't know. AHHHH, SAVE ME PRINCESS ZELDA!
Eruptions of Death Mountain threaten nobody. Gorons aren't affected by falling rocks or the heat. So, what's the issue? Are the eruptions massive and affecting all of Hyrule? Uhh, no... Are the eruptions preventing vital trade between the Goron City and merchants? Uhh, no... Are the eruptions having some biological impact on Goron reproduction? Uhh, no... AHHHH, SAVE ME PRINCESS ZELDA!

The Divine Beasts were a joke. Calamity was a total pushover.

She's fairly boring, just someone mad that Ganondorf betrayed her and tried to have her assassinated. Her design made me think she was going to be some kind of low energy doomer but she's nothing like that at all, her and Qia (the zora sage) are pretty much the same character personality wise.
The other gerudo Sholani is better, she's an upbeat dyke who wants to scissor her chieftainess and her moveset is closer to a knife fighter than a swordsman

I want to play the game on release without emulating or getting spoiled, which is a real problem if you go into /v/ threads on impulse. It's why I've completed or at least finished every major game release I've bought in the past 5 years within roughly a week of the release date. Hell, I 100%ed FF7 Rebirth, more than 100 hours, in less than 6 days.

>>726059410
The very first HW was novel just to see Link going crazy and throwing out 100 bombs rapid fire like a maniac. After the novelty wore off, we realized these games are boring as fuck and nobody pays any attention since. I guess SOMEONE buys it since Nintendo keeps shitting them out, but it's nobody I know.

I just dropped 820 on a switch 2 and like 7 games, money well spent for me.

Just go into the settings and turn on the option that automatically uses the consumable that refills your batteries
>>
Its fine. I like the two armies approach it has for awhile. I opt to be super autistic and determine who is in certain areas based on story missions and only use them. Its silly but forces me to use the characters I deem "canon" for some missions.
I like most of the generic whos. Especially that old Zora and John Hylian.

Probably same reason they barely ever talk about those other bad mosou zeldas
>>
>>726084460
I don't know but the roster is infuriating to be honest, we had characters that were in TotK's flashback, had enough story presence and should have been playable but weren't yet literal fucking whos were. Ganondorf and Sonia should have been unlockable upon finishing the story but will likely be added via later updates, the devs had weird priorities. Koume and Kotake having dialogue and a role in the first few missions as bosses, then vanishing from the plot past a certain point reeks of planned dlc characters that'll probably get fused by demon king ganondorf into Twinrova.
>>
>>726084550
It's a shade that could theoretically break Ganondorf's body out of stasis. And thematically an evil so great that it seeps out and corrupts the land is very Japanese.

That's right anon, you're like, poor and brown and stuff if you don't pay five hundred dollars for a console that is constantly spying on me using last gen hardware that fixes almost no complaints people had about the preceding model while also paying for 90+ dollar carts that dont even have the games on them and also paying 40 bucks for the PRIVILEGE of backwards compatibility (but only for the games nintendo tells me I can have!)

Sort of wish that enemies stopped whenever Zelda manipulated time. I feel like it would make sense. Maybe if/when Sonia becomes playable that'll happen.
>>
>>726089376
Sonia would make a better playable character than all of the shitty OCs
>>
Is the game fun on Very Hard or should I just stay on Hard? In AoC I went back and forth because Very Hard made most enemies very spongy while not really asking for more strategy or anything. I mean it's a musou so when I did some side quests on Very Hard that had the time limits, I just spammed the best combos I could find with the character over and over cause that's just what you do.
>>
>>726091029
I'd just stick to hard. It's not like it's a strategic kind of game
>>
>>726059510
???
Age of Calamity was fun and a cool little "what if" BotW story. TotK was the bad experience.
>>
>>726091134
It mostly just affected the main playthrough and not post-game stuff in the 2nd game. After I beat the game, which I did on Very Hard because I wanted the final level to feel more impactful I guess, I kept it on there and it was basically like hard earlier on since my characters were high enough level with good weapons. In the original Hyrule Warriors, I've only reached the Twilight Princess map over the years and it was mostly just a level scaling thing then too but I still had a ton of maps to go through. I just return to that game every once and a while and play it for a week or so.

Why was the last one bad people itt say itis but why? Gameplay speaking
>>
>>726092912
Sub 20 FPS and super fucking tedious with the upgrades requiring like hundreds of monster parts. Also the Korok seeds which the new one remedy's with a way to identify the locations of the seeds on the map during your first run through the stage so you aren't forced to repeat missions if you missed one.
Also weapon upgrading required using the same weapon that the character is using to upgrade it. The new one just gives you weapon typed Iron. So knocking down like 25 different weapons types you need to upgrade 25 different weapons to just like 5 for everyone's weapons.
>>
>>726092912
1.) rolled back the graphics and lighting to the DW2 engine, and before you say that's not a gameplay reason, it significantly impacted the visual clarity of a lot of the assets and made everything look boring and washed out, which diminishes the rush you get during combat when you're doing well. Even 1 and 2 were more colorful games, but Shin had no excuse after 3 created that beautiful celshaded look for the series.
2.) rolled back a lot of the gameplay features from 3. For example, field hazards that included a variety of environmental conditions (overheating in lava zones, frosted in ice zones, some zones had AA cannons that would fuck over your flying mode in a flying suit or your allies, some had missiles that would bombard other zones and make it difficult for your allies to passively contest them or defend their own territory, etc. They also removed the ability to command allied forces and direct them to different zones, just these two features alone removed a LOT of the roster management and strategy elements of 3 that made it so engaging, turning shin dwg into an almost pure hack and slash game. It was even more streamlined than the first DWG.
3.) Most of the roster from previous games was cut.
4.) They restored the "official mode" (playing through canon gundam storylines) from DWG1 and 2, but eliminated the campaign mode. DWG1, 2 and 3 all had their own self contained original story then had the canon missions as bonus content. In shin dwg, it is the main content of the game.
5.) Cut most of the stages from prior games
6.) Cut most of the combo strings and special moves to simplify the game as much as possible
7.) Had no dedicated multiplayer unlike all the other entries.
8.) Digital download only.
