    Your attention please. A demo of Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity is going up today, if not up already!

    Save data will carry over too.

    ...

    I'm not going to describe my reaction to that, because that is *definitely* not SFW in the *best* possible way.

    My bad, not in two weeks. 20th November, so I was off by about a week and some days.

    I wanted to get Hyrule Warriors for the switch already, so might as well do a double.

    Played the demo. My thoughts:

    I like it. A lot.

    My major criticism of HW1 would have to be the characters didn't feel distinct, but god *damn* do they feel different now. It's great.

    My main trouble with HW1 is just because I generally only use the Switch in kickstand mode.

    *searches*

    I don't remember any slowdown problems. The GUI and text are just tiny.

    No mention of how Impa is literally Naruto? Airplane run, shadow clones, hand signals...

    So apart from the airplane running she's a classical mythological ninja/sage and not the modern stage ninja.

    Obviously it's a typo; his name must be Chive, striving to be the best chef until the dark lord burns his home town down using the ovens of hell.

    Will Chive be able to protect his brother from the forces of the Dark Lord Garlic? Can the power of Phoenix's Flambe overcome the might of Ifrit's flame-broiled fists? Will the world be destroyed by Bajamut's Mega-Sauce?

    I mean, even the airplane running... kinda has a point. I mean it's dumb, but if you're running up at someone to stab them, and you need to be sneaky... low profile, keeps weapons out of the way so you don't stab yourself, etc.

    It's still weeb as fuck and you could just... y'know. Use a bow. Or an atlatl. Did the Japanese have those?

    *looks*

    Huh. They didn't. Weird.

    Nah, no arm swinging means balance is fucked, the arms are in a really awkward position to do anything other than flail uselessly, so the stabbing motion is slow, telegraphed, and awkward, and if anything doesn't go according to plan, you can't defend yourself at all, put your hand against the wall/ground/whatever to regain your balance, turn the run into a roll, etc.

    All it accomplishes is look weeb. Well, that, and make dentists wealthier.

    Yeah, but the sheer cringe makes people pause, mitigating the delay in the stab time...

    Time Travel ? Really ? Because the timeline wasn't enough of a mess already apparently.

    Holy mother of fucking god, it's not just Link that was stronger a century ago, the monsters also used to be much beefier. I tried to fight that Guardian in episode 2 the legit way and it took, like, two dozen reflected laser to down that motherfucker.

    Meanwhile, side-quest replacing the Badge system from HW1 is delightful.

    It would've been funnier if the sequence was 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.

    I don't know about the numbers in the comic, but the ones in my post were the infamous number sequence from Lost.

    The numbers in the comic are a reference to Donnie Darko
