I’ve been avoiding absolutely everything Age of Calamity related since launch but just seeing it’s a 70+ hour game has me so excited to play it over the Christmas Holiday!

Yes! something along the lines of a Metal Gear Solid Rising for stick controls would be a perfect fit!
I’m hoping for an enhanced version of the Wii Remote controls with joy cons and even a full motion Pro controller option it as it worked fantastically for Pikmin 3 Deluxe and All Stars Mario Galaxy.

3 days sounds incredibly fast for Skyward Sword! that was your last game before AoC though right?
Glad it was still a fun experience overall however, just shows how well the game holds up and good those areas/dungeons are

All those improvements sound fantastic and match up pretty well with what they did with Wind Waker & Twilight Princess HD so I think there’s a good chance we’ll get something along those lines. I think one of the most exciting things would be to see the game in full HD as they could do wonders with that water colour style. We could have something as good as Xenoblade DE on there hands again

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think full voice acting would be a huge deal for this game, I think a lot of people including myself come out of this one in love with the characters and all the personality’s. So going all in would be so exciting to see especially after BOTW did it so well and AOC (so I’ve heard)

Thanks! Going for Mipha right away once I can sit down and play!

Zelda Rapier has been my main combo for almost all of HW Switch! I hardly used her in the WiiU and 3DS versions but now I couldn't imagine using anyone else for the majority of missions Fast combos, huge AoE for the timed missions and one of my fav Specials, it never gets old.

You're spot on with Lana's Summoning Gate sometimes it feels amazing to play and other times you just can't get anything to go your way and yes C4 is amazing and I use that all the time too

Yuga was deffinetly an instent favorite for myself too, he felt amazing and way more powerful than some of my higher level characters from the get go.

I could never get used to Twili Midna for some reason and I haven't tried Lana's Book of Sorcery much, so i'll give that a go next time i'm on DE

Ye having played all 3 versions of the game the music has become a bit much now haha - Luckly it's the perfect podcast / chill out game always progressing, tones to do and all around good time.

Nice work clearing out the The Legend of Zelda Marathon before Age of Calamity! (Saving mine for the Christmas holidays is excrutiating but it's a bit hectic at work and I want to have a good few weeks off to get into it) Also saving BOTW for the future sounds like a good idea especialy with BOTW 2 on the horizon. (Still holding out for that Minish Cap anniversary remake next year)

How was The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on a repeat playthrough? I'm holding out for a remastered version on Switch but i'm dying to play it again being one of my fav Zelda games.

I don't blame you my friend! That's a suitable reward for the marathon (and taking care of the original HW - wow)!

Thanks I'm hoping so too, because if it arrives on Monday, I won't get to play it until Wednesday. I took today off of work for this, too.

I suppose I could get a digital copy, but playing it immediately isn't important enough for me to spend another $60.

Congratulations on getting the Hyrule Warriors !
(Just Holy Moly )

What ended up being your favourite character, weapon combo and adventure map in the end? or top 5 if it’s too hard to pick haha and was it still enjoyable as enjoyable by the end of everything? Hopefully you’re not burned out too much and can enjoy Age of Calamity next week Haha

How’s the Zelda Marathon going overall too!
You had any surprises about game being better than you remember or possibly not as good?
You’re getting close to some of my absolute favs now with SS, ALBW and BOTW so enjoy those before AOC drops.

Absolutely massive achievement with Hyrule Warriors though never though it was possible. Nice job

Hey! I sure am having a lot of fun with it! It's challenging, but never unfair, which feels so good! I also like the more level-oriented approach instead of one big world, although that feeling of unlocking a shortcut after a difficult part I experienced in Bloodborne cannot be beat

My favorite right now is also the spear! I haven't focused on Living Weapon so much for now, except when I need the rush during a boss battle XD

So full admission, I will definitely watch that movie at some point. I love giant monster movies, and I love stupid movies....so it's basically perfect for me But I agree, a solid anime would have been much better.

The friend who completed it is JDcooper on this site, and the central dungeon was his main issue with the game, so it was honestly disheartening to learn that completing it is painful. I was looking at borrowing his copy and giving it a try because I love Zelda...but between the two of you... it seems to be an exercise in misery.

Do you hold the same feelings toward Spirit Tracks? I haven't played that one either, and I'm hoping that has some improvements over Phantom.

As for Monster Hunter, I'll probably pm you later on with some more questions, if that's okay?

First off- PLEASE tell me you have seen this: [Link]

Also, what is your weapon set in MH? Asking for my other half, who has been experimenting with bows to see how that works out and wanted me to ask you what set up you're using lol He runs a high DPS longsword majority of the time, and he's working to get another high DPS bow.

I'm curious about Phantom because I've never played it, and the person I'll be borrowing it from hates that game with an incredible passion. And come to think of it, I don't think I know anyone who really loves it
