Fun little detail: By pressing L and R on the loading screen, you control the little guardian, making it run left and right. Pressing B makes it jump and X makes it’s little antenna bounce up and down.
the divine beast parts are literally the best part of the game for me. I love the feeling of finally getting to bring the pain to them after struggling for 30 minutes on hard mode first playthrough. It was a short awesome set pieces for me.
Interesting. Personally, I didn't really like the Divine Beast sections since the controls felt very akward and I ended up only using one ability throughout their entire Arsenal since there simply wasn't any need for me to use the others. Like for the Vah Naboris missions, I only used the Charging attack because it was a guaranteed ko with invincibility and zero risk. Why use anything else when Charging works so much better? Oh well, to each their own.
Its great. The og version of Hyrule Warriors at the end when it had all the DLC was like over 500 hrs of content. With maps from Majoras mask with time elements. And so so so much more. It had a insain roster. It had more bland maps though. You would use grapple hook and such to get golden skeltulas , it was a great 'passive' kinda game to pickup and have fun. It was addicting. I was amazed how much time i put into it which was during when i had 3 cancerous tumors in my gut so i had nothing but time. And it sucked. Unable to move and pain we're aliviated by the original. Sorry for long comment. Etill git the etomsch issues but nore time to live they say. Meds make me so foggy and so does pain. Be safe bud.
@@theparadoxrejected Well they said that we will see events that took place 100 years before BoTW. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ifm8tpcO4vw.html
I thought they did say it was the prequel Multiple times. I personally loved all of it. (Spoiler after these brackets) I went in knowing nothing I do will matter and kinda being a little bummed and "whatever" attitude for the most part. Then I got near the end and immediately got super hyped. The changes made me so happy and actually made me like it a lot more. Thats just me though
People talking about the Spoiler in the footage, I get that. But did you read the *Description* "Calamity game" not even a sentence. This video feels like whomever wrote it spent a lot of time on it, choosing his words carefully. It's well-written, honest, and willing to go into the negative without seeming like whining. Well done. Then whomever edited it, presented it, and had to finally review it prior to release just wanted to clock out early and just plopped it up ;P
I don't understand how people already have the game and they are spoiling it.. I've seen too much that I dont want to see right now I've already seen 4 spoilers lol
Hey, I just wanted to ask, without spoilers... please don’t spoil... but does this game retcon breath of the wild? Like does it end the way it’s SUPPOSED to end? Or is this like a “what if” alternate ending?
People's expectations are generally too high for this game. It's a Warriors game after all. As much as I love Zelda and BotW, I haven't been able to get hyped for this.
People just say ‘warriors’ game like that means something to everyone. Funny I saw it and thought, oh, it’s 99 nights. This game looks awesome, but the demo bored me very quickly. 🤷🏼♂️
It can't be worse than Fortnite, so it's on the list now. Jeez can somebody nuke that other game out of existence, it's festering almost as badly as Roblox
@@skullkid1270 thank you. I will stay away from age of calamity videos. Also, I dont see them that much in my recommendation page. But I will try to limit my time on RU-vid for now. Thank you
The Switch is shaping up to be my favorite console, and I'm excited for this game. However I think this shows exactly why a more powerful Switch is necessary. That multiplayer framerate doesn't even look playable. It's not just about graphics, though improved visuals always are nice, it's also about performance and what kind of things can be done in a game. Dragon Quest Heroes 1+2 pack that was only released in Japan also suffered bad framerate issues on Switch.
"You won't be hitting Tripple figure ". Guys. Have you ever tried to complete a warriors game? They take 200+ hours to do so. 200+ hours. If that is not triple figure. Than I font know what is.
I'm sitting on 380+ hours for Hyrule Warriors and haven't even finished the main campaign or maxed out a character. :-P And I enjoy every second of it!
a lot of people buying this game aren't necessarily fans of musou games, and will probably only play this for the story elements, so yeah it'll definitely take them less time to finish the story
Nope, sadly not. People need to stop comparing BOTW with age of calamity. They’re two ENTIRELY SEPARATE genre of games. If you buy this game expecting a BOTW experience, you will be heavily disappointed. It’s just a hack and slash game with some Zelda paint added on.
not sure what you're referring to. when you first start breath of the wild, you are informed that a great calamity happened 100 years prior. this game is what happened 100 years before breath of the wild and basically what lead link to go into this big slumber.
I mean it is unfortunate and the false advertising is shitty (they should have called it and alterned path of hundred years before, instead of what happened a hundred years ago). Regardless I am happy that there is a happy ending and that the champions aren’t dead in this universe. This uses the OoT logic by creating two timelines via time travel
Honestly I was looking forward to the game, but when playing the demo, the frame rate was constantly lagging and could barely handle 30fps, I was even seeing massive pop on from small buildings, trees, and also grass just by walking a few feet away. At one point in the level with the guardian, the game went down to around 5fps, in SINGLE PLAYER! Combine that with the fact that I have never been a big fan of warriors games to begin due to the grindy elements, it kinda let me down a bit even though I was never a fan of the genre. However, playable Hestu has me saying otherwise lol.
Gotta admit the playing that demo made me worried that this game could mess with botw original story. I'm really apprehensive about that and the way they handle the time travel thing and how the story closes could ruin the experience, in a narrative perspective. Gameplaywise, I'm all in for this.
I don't know why they can't just expand the story based on the memories from botw, fans will not be conflicted with the story as much now. I personally not a fan of musou games but i was pretty hyped when this announced because of the prequel storyline, but after playing the demo and all of reviews i heard so far says the story kinda meh and not a "direct prequel" because of the time traveling element they add for some reason, im less interested now.
@@m_riidi yeah, sadly me too, I was really excited bc that was the main selling point of this game, they didn't need to do this, but ok, I'll still try to grab sometime next year
Remember, they did say that the game is canon, meaning that they still do lose at the endx which means that the robot fails, not messing with the story.
Yeah no if I had any reason to play this game was to cry helplessly all night long at the end. But seeing how they made a new alternate timeline and won't tell us what exactly happened (and with the new trailer hinting at a happy ending) just makes me not wanna buy it.
Where I’m disappointed is the fact that they were so ambiguous about the way the story would play out. I feel like they used the “Breath of the Wild prequel” as a way to sell a bunch of copies of the game seeing as it’s their holiday title. Had they been honest from the beginning and stated that this is a Breath of the Wild SPINOFF I would be more excited about the game. They have been teasing us with this games canonicity for the past two months and yeah, I think you get my point. I’m sure it will be fun to play and all but I wish the marketing had been different. All I can hope is that Botw 2 won’t follow AoC’s story. (I DONT think that is likely, seeing as it was Botw’s DIRECT sequel, but who knows at this point :/)
I'm glad we got the story for the Age of Calamity, and in all honesty, I don't think it could be told any other way, other than a full novelized series.
Impa for Smash. I want another zelda character in smash bros. Impa would be so cool. Imagine cloning in smash bros and creating a nimble Rosalina and Luma type of character.
I don't know if they've optimised the game in the background but I've played in exclusively two player mode and only have frame issues if we both use special attacks at the same time in the middle of the same mob
Sure, I already have Pirate Warriors 4 to scratch that Musou itch. But unbreakable, upgradeable tree branch and soup ladle weapons are too hard to ignore.
Omg I hope so, even though I've always wanted the skull kid with Majora's Mask to be in Smash but any character from Zelda that isn't the usual 3 Link/Zelda/Ganondorf is welcome.
Even though I thought Breath of the Wild was trash this game looks really fun. The puzzles and the constantly breaking weapons ruined Breath of the Wild for me.
Constantly comparing this to Breath of the Wild is as useful as comparing Gwent to The Witcher 3. They're games in totally different genres and aren't even pretending like they're not
Sorry, but you're wrong on here .. This game is made to be played BEFORE botw, playing the war referenced, and experiencing life with the sage's, makes them even more relevant to botw as someone who's experienced the narrative vs just being told about it, expecting to bond with vague characters, don't tell me, show me, age of calamity does all this
MASSIVE SPOILER: EVERYONE DIED EXCEPT FOR LINK LINK SLEPT IN ZELDA'S GUARDIAN COOCHIE CAVE WHILE ZELDA TRYING TO HOLDBACK CALAMITY GANONDORK IN THE CASTLE
I’m still so hyped for this, I’ve seen spoilers and sure they’re kind of like disappointing knowing the potential of what could’ve been especially as it was set up as a “prequel” to BOTW. BUT I’m still keen to experience something new, at its core it’s still a HackAndSlash so all the comparisons to BOTW seem unfair. Ofc you can’t just explore everywhere like BOTW and they want to at least surprise people with something new, I think if they hadve just communicated that from the beginning we wouldn’t be seeing these sorts of criticisms
There's nothing new here, if you've played hyrule warriors you've played this. The game chugs along. Im a fan of the original hyrule warriors, but this game just does not run well.
Just got the console switch (The lite is NOT for people who DONT travel) And realized this game was already out. So came here to see a review (first time on channel) That was also one of my question that was answered, if i should play Breath of the Wild (Having hadn't had a switch long i have not played it) And your answer was yes and i can see why. thanks for the review. Ive always loved Warriors games so ill probably enjoy this (LOVED Hyrule Warriors)
Should have gotten a 9 for just being fucking amazing. A game shouldn't EVER get a lower score just for being what it is. You cant expect a MUSOU game to have the depth of a GOTY winner like BOTW, you just cant. It should be rated compared to other titles like it.
I'm a hack and slash fan, and the demo for this game showed that it took a pretty large leap foward compared to the og hyrule warriors (which I was relatively disappointed with) so I will def be getting it!
All I want to know is if the story told in this game is to be considered canon to the Zelda timeline or not. I don’t want any spoilers. I just want to know if the events that take place in this game, are a build up to what eventually happens in breath of the wild? Or is it simply a “what if story”.
It is canon but SPOILERS This is an alternate timeline as you saw in the opening cutscene. The champions won, and you can see the last cutscene on RU-vid. Huge disappointment.
Considering the zelda time line is strung pretty poorly together because the games were originally stand alones but everyone expects it to flow, it probably doesn't. It doesn't make it a bad game though even if it doesn't... I mean it hasn't mattered for the past however many years! Zelda games never end on a bad note (ie the player looses) so doubtful this would stray from that even if it's supposed to go the other way. We'll find out for sure soon as chances are this will get DLC at a later date. Seriously the first Hyrule Warriors did so wouldn't put it past them keeping the true ending under wraps so hackers and data miners can't spoil it for everyone.
If this is a prequel to the events of the main game then hell yeah I’ll play this first. I mean I prefer this game anyway because it’s a fast paced hack n slash.
Astor is the main villain and he’s the one who summons calamity ganon. Kohga has a new strong soldier called sooga who is his main buddy. Astor is basically kohga’s boss. After Astor tries to kill kohga and sooga as a sacrifice for ganon (he succeeds in killing sooga) KOHGA JOINS YOU. YOU CAN PLAY AS MASTER KOHGA and the yiga clan is on your side. The egg guardian BRINGS SIDON, YUNOBO, RIJU AND TEBA FROM THE FUTURE AND THE CHAMPIONS DON’T DIE BECAUSE OF THIS.
I think I like the Hyrule Warriors games more than the proper Zelda series games. I love the combat sure. But when it's time for Zelda lore (in other games), the story annoys me. Link doing everything alone is sad. The puzzles don't excite me. And I can leave the searching and mystique element alone. So yeah. Outside of the Musou games, I think the Zelda element isn't for me. Interesting because most folks will come into this game looking for more of the Zelda formula.
Thought the demo was ok, never really played the dynasty warriors stuff properly and isn't really my thing but I gave it a try, I'll pass on this cos I don't fancy paying full price for something I'm not that into but I hope everyone enjoys it until we get botw 2!
@@mark012498 apparently not, according to that review story is good with a insane amount of cutscene, enjoyable story, but it's a alternate timeline. So I guess it's not a direct prequel sadly
@@cbn1130 As much as i wish thats the case i somehow doubt it as ive heard no case of NG+ or and second ending just a bunch of comment section rumors. Though i really hope its a second ending I highly doubt it will happen
"-and it makes for one hell of a side dish! An appitizer to set you up for Breath of the Wild 2, perhaps?" (waves in only a few days left until Tears of the Kingdom and am looking up videos to whet my whistle before the game drops)
I'm super happy that this game is good and looks FUN, has good music, art, story, battle mechanics, secrets, depth, and everything botw didn't have that was a zelda staple this, is the REAL breath of the wild, and the 2017 one will just be consider a pre sequel shoe-in, in my eyes (also, any ending that's "good", as in the heroes winning, kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? XC2 Torna had a sad ending but it linked everything together, so it fulfilled its purpose
Unpopular opinion: I found it to be kinda boring and tedious, pressing the same button patterns over and over again. I will still buy it though because I want to learn the full story.
Once I bought a Warriors game and that's it. Never make that mistake again. Warriors tittles are like bad written fanfiction. Boss are as easy as the next. So, personally I won't buy it. I love the champions but I wouldn't like to see I don't know, a forced triangle with Link- Zelda-Mipha, or whatever they did.
@@bern9642 going with your logic, botw isn't a zelda game either. And people who are conflicted with the story is not purely because of the time traveling stuff, but because we are afraid the story going to deviate from botw storyline and create a new story/ timeline when they advertised this as a botw prequel. Their announcement trailer is botw devs have a big talk of how they work very closely with koei so they can create a faithful botw prequel in term of story, graphics, and gameplay. I don't doubt the gameplay and graphics, they looks and feels good but the story is just a fanfiction. and they never once said that this is a "what if" story.
No that’s not the issue. The issue is false advertising it as a prequel when it is not. It is a „what if“ scenario that uses OoTs way of splitting the timeline
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog I googled the file name and the result are "In response to multiple complaints we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 6 results from this page."
I put my phone face down on the table to listen to the review and still didn't manage to get through without hearing things I didn't wanna know yet. Not full-blown spoilers but still.
1 little bitty super small problem, It's meant to tell the story of what happened 100 years before breath of the Wild. While it is technically a side game the fact that it has been made to tell the story of that one and the developers have worked very closely with the team behind breath of the wild in order to tell this story means it's to be considered more of a Zelda game than a proper Warriors game. You are forgetting to mention this fact as the type of game this is supposed to be was clearly stated in the original Nintendo reveal message. REMEMBER this is the part that was not in the trailer but the stuff surrounding the very first announcement trailer. Please do go back and watch it. Again nothing negative I am just pointing out that calling it more of a Warriors game than a Zelda game is incorrect on that point. Again please do take the time to go back and watch that as I forget how you spell his name but you probably know who I mean talks about what type of game eight of calamity is supposed to be. Not an exact quote but it was along the lines of "We thought that the warriors style of game would work well in telling the story of what happened 100 years ago. ". So saying this is not a zelda game is clearly a contradiction to that statement. It is in fact a true combination of both elements
It's not only demo footage. They said when you see the watermark in the bottom lefthand corner that indicates demo footage, everything else is newly captured footage.
@@anneprocter Oh, that explains the tens of walkthroughs from people I've never even seen. I have no idea if any of them acknowledged that they got a copy because I don't watch them for spoilers. They should just post the review on Monday, let people play the game spoiler-free on the weekend like I plan to
