Hyrule Warriors

It's out in Europe.

OMG LOL I literally thought Japan was the only one, and NA & EU had the same day/2 days. My bad.

The thing is, I love Legend of Zelda, and I love Dynasty Warriors, and I love Beat 'Em Up games in general. This is a game that I won't get sick of that easily.

Yeah this is a game you beat once with every character until the DLC comes out, then you beat it with more characters!

Eh, MK8 wasn't that much spectacular than MK7 on 3DS or MK8 on Wii. I never thought it was going to be that revolutionary.
 
I got it on release (Europe, so on friday). Haven't been playing much but what I've seen of it looks great! My favourite characters to play so far have been Link (no surprises there) and Sheik since (s)he's really quick. I like Impa but she's too slow for me to play.
I love all the little nods to older games (the wind fish loading symbol!) and how they used and remixed the music. Unfortunately it gives me a headache after a while. I've been playing slow-paced games and mostly visual novels so I'm not that used to action anymore.

I don't think anybody would argue that Sheik is a he if they thought about it long enough. (It's just clothing, doesn't make Zelda change gender.)

The little nods are great. I loved playing as Lana with the Deku Stick because of the things it morphs into. I was surprised to see Lana using the Deku Leaf at the end of a combo.

Got to the part where I meet Agitha and Midna last night. It was really bizarre to see those two talking to each other, since while they were close in TP they never spoke. Agitha referring to Midna as "Miss Kitty" was kinda cute.

I haven't been playing much myself though. Other stuff keeping me busy, and I'm also trying out the Adventure mode.
 
They're basically just pointing out the shortcomings of Dynasty Warriors, from what I've seen. It's still really fun to play. I'm loving Midna.

midna seems really slow to me, i like fast characters

and do you have to remember combos?

Basically, no. Only if you want to pull off the same moves over and over again do you have to remember combos. But the window for button presses is fairly large, so it's not really a big deal, and you can overwrite previous inputs by just pressing a different one, unless the animation's already begun.

Midna's more of a destructive force. If you want fast, Link and Sheik seem to be just that.
 
Eh, MK8 wasn't that much spectacular than MK7 on 3DS or MK8 on Wii. I never thought it was going to be that revolutionary.

I never did either. I suppose I anticipated that a fresh TV console version would give it new light for me. I have a feeling once the DLC comes out in November it'll boost it some more for me. And actually the online is a bit better than it was before, no idea if it's the update or just the install base is substantial enough but I rarely get stuck in a room with not enough people anymore.

I was watching someone play the demo in Best Buy. It doesn't look like it's fun at all to watch it. I would much rather have played it, of course the guy just may have been doing blah anyway. I read up and someone mentions Midna going slow, the guy was using Lana (I think?) and she looked like she was running as fast as she damn could and barely was running across the field.

I'm STILL excited though. I think it'll work out. This keeps happening between the 3DS & WiiU, the reviews come in as "okay" or "mediocre" then I check what the community says and everyone loves it and is happy with what they've got. I feel like the biggest let down that ended up ACTUALLY being a let down for most is Yoshi's New Island. Lol I'm even reminded of Mario Party Island Tour. DON'T BUY IT!!! then that weird Best Buy sale happened "oh yea its ok maybe"
Plus this is the first time they're attempting this Dynasty Warriors/Zelda combo so of course people are going to be like "HUH!?!? WHAT!??!?"

To be fair, Dynasty Warriors' online play is really crappy. They're not the kind of games you can easily throw online and it just works. Even the co-op is wonky.

I remember a friend of mine and I did co-op and Cao Cao kept dying in missions where it was insta-fail when he died so I ended up playing as him and running away while my friend killed everything.
 
I'm actually pretty surprised the ratings are so low. It's really a lot of fun to play. I've only tried the story mode so far so it looks like the game has a lot to offer, and it'd probably take a lot of time to 100% it. I'm kind of buying into the advertising here but it does give you a different perspective on Zelda. It's really fun to see how non-player characters actually play out, with all the differences in speed and attacks. For me, it's kind of like a Zelda just without thinking, and it's fun to do one battle at a time.
