Wait a moment, is that meant to be the painting villain from the 3DS game, surely not. Anyway Master Koga seemed an obvious inclusion to round out the villain side so this isn't very surprising.

Could be Agahnim

Agahnim would fit the kind of deep cuts HW1 did with its playable cast, but wow they'd be pulling him out of retirement wouldn't they?

Would make a lot of sense if the whole ancient tech suddenly corrupted, divine beasts hacked, ganon released was helped by some experts on magic/tech. I don't think anything in BotW said there was a traitor, just one day Red Lines and suddenly everything went bad.

I can't wait to learn how Kohga survived 100 years.

Considering Impa, Purah, and Robbie are all still alive in BotW, and the Yiga are evil Sheikah, who's to say Kohga in BotW isn't actually like a 120+ year old dude? Maybe that's why his fight isn't too hard, and he'll be more dangerous in this game.

Bongo Bill posted:I can't wait to learn how Kohga survived 100 years. Sheikah live a long-rear end time. Purah, Robbie and Impa are also still around after 100 years Also you can see he has a young and fit model in HW, the fat stuff is from cutscenes in BotW.

Zore posted:Sheikah live a long-rear end time. Purah, Robbie and Impa are also still around after 100 years There's two important Yiga members in the video, the fit one fighting Link isn't Kohga. You can see both of them next to each other around 22 seconds in. Something interesting I saw people bring up elsewhere is the possibility that the hooded person is the fortune-teller mentioned offhand in BotW who told the king to dig up the Divine Beasts, and that they did so so that Ganon could possess them.

I believe Master Kohga is a title (as opposed to Master being the title).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVe0gjYHP5U A new trailer that doesn't really show anything new. Though now I'm fairly convinced if you find all the Koroks you get Hestu as a secret playable character.

I went to amazon to place my preorder, saw the DE edition show up and holy gently caress its on there for 65 bucks used, used at an acceptable quality. Cartridge only, in fact all the used listings are cartridge only. You're looking at throwing 80 clams to get a new copy just to have a drat case. This pandemic really just hosed poo poo right up, didn't it?

This pandemic really just hosed poo poo right up, didn't it? I went hunting for this after AoC was announced. Places I thought might still being carrying it were no good (Gamestop, etc.) managed to find one new in Walmart of all places. So, my advice check the generic big name stores as they seem to hold on to relatively old games far longer than other places.

Demo is available for Age of Calamity today!

Dang, I was tricked into thinking the demo was even more massive than it is because of the four chapter 2 quests opening up that I left while I did the open side-quests. (Trying to pick them tells you the demo's over, but your save can carry over.) All three demo characters are pretty dang fun, though. Zelda's technical trap-master thing took a bit, but also her Sheikah Slate powers are augmented over Link and Impa's. Wondering where the story's going. The mini-Guardian is explicitly a time-traveler and comes back with video footage from the Calamity, and also it seems there's an Evil One that ominously watches Zelda's group in a scene.

I'm hoping the full version will let us change over to the other controls like HW did. I have tons of muscle memory from that control scheme and kept messing up while playing.

Potential (roster/story) spoilers through datamined icons: Link, Zelda, Rhoam, Mipha, Daruk, Revali, Urbosa, Impa, Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, Riju , Hestu Great Fairy, Master Kohga, Maz Koshia, Egg Guardian, Ganon(?) Should be noted these are map icons, and some may not actually be playable, but it's as close to confirmation as we have for the base game (obviously DLC may add more). So up to 18 characters at base, not counting alternate movesets.

I am very happy they went this route, the mini-Guardian not being present in BOTW sticks this into AU-ville at least removes the guarantee of a "rocks fall everyone dies" Bad Ending, even if that's where it eventually ends up Deceptive Thinker posted:I'm so confused as to how impa works but I'm sure I'll figure her out after a few more missions Impa owns and I love her, it really boils down to using ZR + X to build up some initial runes and then go to town on everything forever Mission 2 I used her to ignore the "flee" prompt and just killed the guardian outright, turns out that just ends the mission then and there-- I was a little surprised when I got back to the map screen and had Zelda as a playable and had to go redo the mission properly to figure out what actually happened

Spent 5 minutes trying to get the time for dodge flurry down. Either I'm misreading the attacks or its nearly frame perfect timing. The only ones I mamaged to pull of seemed like blind luck when dodging nonstop.

# ? Oct 28, 2020 23:15 |

Along the same lines, either I can't figure out the timing, or only Link (out of the three playable thus far) can successfully parry a laser.

I’ve only done the first mission but I love the combat change so far. Dash attacks are a nice addition, the wall jumps and different attacks out of the aerial state seem really cool, and the shiekah slate is a much better implemented version of the items from the first game. I was worried the game would end up feeling like Hyrule warriors: Less Content edition but it really seems like a step up.

The controls probably feel off if you've been playing a lot of regular Hyrule Warriors but I've spent the last week plowing through Breath of the Wild and it fits pretty well.

Friend and I have been tackling the last warriors game because this stuff is like crack to her. So she ran over today to show off the demo and we ran into our first guardian: Her: oh poo poo a guardian we gotta run Me: oh poo poo a guardian TIME TO DIE And then I nailed my first attempt at a laser parry

mastajake posted:Two in each level, myself. Another thing from the demo (not datamining this time) - the combo screen seems to imply that Impa only gets the one weapon, but that Zelda will have at least one more (maybe based on her sealing magic?) - look at the weapon names in white. There's nothing on Impa's. Might just be a relic of the demo build, though.
