I have to say, your first encounter with Ravili was pretty hype. Cool level. Great ending cutscene.

Outside of the campaign / story mode of the game, are there any other modes that lend itself to a repeatable missions to level up gear and characters? I REALLY enjoyed the Legend Mode in the original Hyrule Warriors (the one with the overworld map) more than the story missions. To me, that was the main game and it's the thing that made the mosou genre click for me as to why they are so addictive and popular.
Side missions are part of the main map but just as addictive as other
The sheikah slate powers are so good, they fulfill the same function as the items in the original hyrule warriors but are not only unique for every character but also really powerful and fun attacks to use in general, its so much better
The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic.
That
in the Lost Woods. My my.
That
first encounter with the bad guy
Are the maps in this actually from Breath of the Wild because I've played that game for over 160 hours and I'm not recognizing the area from the second story level at all.
Curse all the people that bought PS5. Courier service was all busy with that, no copy for me today, gotta hope for tomorrow
Games receive post-launch patches that improve performance all the time. "if they could make the game run better, they would have already done so" ignores a number of possible scenarios. Maybe the team was up against a hard deadline set by the publisher, for example.
That being said, I wouldn't expect one either, as it's also entirely possible you're correct and this is the best they could do (until Switch Pro!).
Aside from the confusing-ass map on the second level, I'm really enjoying this so far -- still in Chapter Two, done three of the four champions. As a fan of the first Hyrule Warriors, I like that this very much has its own identity and gameplay loop. I'll still return to the OG for it's wonderfully dumb flavor, more musou-facing gameplay, stupid amount of content and old-school Zelda universe flair, but this game is pretty slick. The combat is much better and far more complex, the visuals and music are great and I just love collecting all the baubles, filling up my meters and checking those boxes. It oddly scratches a Breath of the Wild itch, just because I'm out here collecting hot footed frogs and using magnesis again.
Also, people shitting on these Divine Beast stages? Nah, they're good dumb fun. It blows my mind that people still see the word "motion controls" and scream like some Pavlovian bell has rung when we've had good gyro aiming for years.

OP
all the maps we've had pre-release could be overlaid 1:1 with spots on the bots map
It's the breach of demise (I have no idea why they went that way on the way to the hateno lab...), but I have no idea if it overlays effectively. It seems a lot more complicated than the BotW breach
God Urbosa's lightning mechanic is so much fun. I'm also really enjoying Revali far more than I thought I would. Surpriingly the champion I thought I'd enjoy playing the most pre-release (Mipha) is the one I enjoy the least so far. Every moveset is a ton of fun though.
Each stage I've done so far has been. Here's a shot of the Breach of Demise straight outta BotW.
Revali's boss fight and ending cutscene was fantastic indeed. Dude is an ass, but damn if he is not awesome.
It kills me she doesn't have that many special attack animations, the basic "disappear into slash" is quite boring
I refuse to believe Mipha died after playing her. That water bubble transport to air plus trident air attack is instant weakpoint opening.
Too bad it's not canon because Link eating rocks sure is a good character development.
Also: the game runs much better in portable mode...

Just finished the game. God, i got shivers.
The part with Zelda and Terrako is so heart-breaking to me. I am so glad there's an alternative ending in which he gets restored. And hell, do i hope to see him in BoTW. This game is amazing, although not cannon.
Anyone here playing Age of Calamity that didn't play Breath of the Wild? I feel this overworld map would be a cluttered confusing mess with no sense of space if you were unfamiliar with BotW already.
I played this for like 8 hours today. only just started chapter 3.
at first it was confusing chaos and now its confusing rhythmic chaos and I love it.
no opinion on the story yet bc I'm still trying to see where it's going, but the cutscene direction in general is a lot stronger than in BotW in my opinion.

It fires down icicles when you spam the X button. They usually disappear on hitting big enemies
Missions in HW1 had secrets to unlock, like Skulltulas or weapon upgrades or heart containers. Anything like that in AoC (Korok seeds I guess, though I'm not sure what those are for).
I'm going normal now as I learn the characters, and then I'll probably bump it to hard.
That first level is a rough introduction. Couldn't tell what was going on, but something about it hurt my eyes. Felt like everything was just a bit out of focus and it really threw me off.
Yeah, I'm real happy with this. An ability should clear an entire mob of mooks, not slightly inconvenience one.
Zelda is strange, doesnt move similar to any character ive played inb the HW series, Y attacks changing type cofuses me, but sometimes the attacks do something cool and its fun.
Sometimes i create some ice stairs and she goes up and i cant replicate any time i want. Seems is pressing the x in some way at the start, but the majority of the times she creates the smaller ice cubes that surrounds enemies.
It feels clutterted, more corridor heavy and confusing than the original hyrule warriors, something i dont really like, and I played BOTW.

Didnt have much fun with Daruk, its slow and seems the majority of moves end in the defense ball, which i dont like (becuase its just similar to its running button), and the magma explosions do barely anything. Even the heavier characters in the original hyrlue warriors were not a slow and felt more powerful.
Yeah, discovered after many attepts that you had to move the circle WHILE you press x a ton of times, thats why it never appeared for me before lol

Generally speaking, but Breath of the Wild of all games received a performance update just under a month after launch.
Zelda and Daruk are among my favorite characters so far.
Zelda uses her runes in a set order. There's no randomness to any of her moves. Remember also that she can detonate all four rune types with ZR, so for example, if you send out the rolling bomb and create ice stairs you can explode them all simultaneously. She is possibly my favorite.
Daruk is awesome. You can dash into a roll with B, then while rolling tap X to jump and slam. His X finishers spawn magma ramps and magma pillars -- the ramps can launch you for aerials, and both can be detonated with ZR.
Definitely experiment with their combos in the Meditative Training facility. Every character is a blast.
Yes, you constantly unlock new NPC story prompts on the map asking for materials, and you acquire a Sheikah Sensor early in the game to locate missing materials (with in-game notifications when you find them), and exchanging the materials on the map gives you a written story conclusion to that quest, at which point you gain a heart container for a character, or a new combo move, or a new piece of equipment, or a new service, or access to a new merchant, etc etc. You get a bit of lore with each transaction and grow your characters in the process, and many completed quests open additional quests or side missions.
Oh yeah, hiw does the sheika finder work?
I unlocked it, added it to some of the things i need to search with x, but i dont know how the game tells you were the ugridients are.
Its on the map? On the ground when playing?
I did try zelda in the meditate room. The only thing im havig problems now is creating the stairs.

The thing is, while its starnge to control zelda, i cant say the same about Daruk. I actually know hot to do his combos, and how to explode magma. Its just not fun because i dont feel him powerful enough for how much it takes to hit or put down magma stuff.

If you need materials for a quest, tap X on that quest's materials to register it with the Sheikak Sensor. Green sonar markings will appear over other places on the map if they have the materials you need. Go to that merchant or play that mission, and when you have the materials a notification will appear in the upper right saying you can now complete the quest you registered.
I was on the fence to whether to buy it or not but ended up buying it (lol). I'm reeeeally enjoying it so far. I'm new to these "warrior" type games but since it's all BOTW lore, music and scenery, I really am digging it. Also, I love playing as Mypha and am disappointed with Urbosa's character 😔 she was the character I was looking forward to play the most.
Also, Zelda is - unsurprisingly - my least favorite to play as.

Hard mode is really starting to be hard, I'm just after the Champion ceremony.
It's those damn big monsters man, they do a lot of damage. And I ran out of rupees leveling everyone to 26 lol
At least Link with the Master Sword feels really broken, especially after getting the powered up X moves.

Strong Attack twice. She creates the scattered ice blocks on the first one, then the stairs.
