There's absolutely nothing that suggests that Age of Calamity won't be 99% hack and slash.
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 did a couple puzzles here and there iirc, but I always hated them because A) they literally give you the answer and B) almost always the "puzzle" was a time crunch as someone else rushes straight towards you/your main defensive objective and you had to complete the stuff you needed to do ASAP.
Uhhh....k
Sorry. I just needed to vent. The new Crash game has me anxious about this exact idea.
Unless there's rpg elements, I think i'd get bored more easily of a hack slash than a beatemup. Depends on the mechanics tho obviously.
IDK. To me it just comes across as cheap. Like, they could have made a seperate character who uses the spear, but they didn't want to have to model and rig a new character so they just plopped it onto Link. Plus it depends on how you get them. Is it a matter of switching freely with a button press? Do you pick the weapon after you pick your character on the select? Or (the worst possible option) do the weapons break and you have to find a new one out in the maps. That would just be tedious.
Reminds me of the days when I tried to 100% One Piece Pirate Warriors 3. Never again.
Disagree. If it's satisfying to play and hack through the enemies then I could play it all day every day for weeks.
To sorta go more on this post, in Breath of the Wild, almost all of the cultures had a weapon for each category. Like while Zoras mainly use spears, they also made swords, greatswords, bows and shields. Like wouldn't it be cool for Mipha to have a moveset from one of the other weapon sets and her weapon would be the weapon from that culture? Like if Mipha used a sword and shield, she'd be using the Zora Sword and Silver Shield? Or if Impa used a greatsword, it'd be the Eightfold Longblade? Or if Urbosa used a bow, it'd be the Golden Bow? Or if Daruk used a spear, it'd be the Drillshaft?
Mipha also uses a spear fyi.
Personally if there's no obvious rewards or something cool to do(new movesets to try out, new stages to play, etc) I get bored really quick and "fun" is no longer had for me. Once I run out of new things to do I tend to drop games unless it's something I really enjoy(like BOTW for example)
Zelda could get a moveset around her awakened powers. Like if the Zelda we start with uses the Sheikah Slate, the Zelda we end with could have her awakened powers and her Bow of Light and light arrows.
Zelda doesn't awaken her powers until way into the Calamity; iirc it's right before they make it to Hateno.
I mean, you do you boo. But I happen to really like endlessly hacking through bad guys.
hmm.... I get skeptical of any elements in a hack and slash that prevent me from mindlessly slashing through waves of enemies and feeling like an ultra-powerful badass. And limited use special weapons (unless it refills with endless energy orbs that pour out of your slain foes) would get in the way of that.
What I was thinking was about after Link gets put into the Shrine of Resurrection. Like after Link falls, Zelda gets her powers and Link is put into the shrine, Zelda goes to the castle, fighting with her awakened powers, she fights against Ganon for a bit, then eventually "seals" Ganon with herself until Link is healed in the Shrine of Resurrection for the events of Breath of the Wild. That's what I had in mind when I was thinking about a second possible moveset for Zelda.
Well judging from what we've seen the rods don't seem mandatory. It looks like they're used to stun groups of enemies.
I'll admit just as much as you that I agree with that. But personally I like to see new things. I don't like killing the same 5 enemies variations with the same tried and true swordie character, y'know? I like to see new things, try new concepts, and the like.
A varied palate is the best palate or so they say.
DMC2 is best gaem. Donte is gud and he schutt.
I'm personally more of an MMO guy myself(my steam account is just filled with free-to-play mmos lol) but hot damn Hyrule Warriors is up there in my favorite games of all time. OP: Pirate Warriors 3 too, but just a little bit lower because it's overall wasn't as fun to me.
agruue shroby, dinte too shout gud, beayo 2 bed gaem.
And DMC3, since it was made so that Hideaki Itsuno could prove he could make a good ass game & not let DMC2 be forever what he was know for.
real talk dmc2 dante is actually my favorite dante design so i hope it's an alt for him if he gets in smash
Lucia getting done dirty again smh
