Okay, I still don't loving get the elemental keeps in adventure mode! I go to the keep with the fairy in it, clear out the enemies, beat the Keep Boss, get the little "You've rescued the elemental fairy of [element]!" message, and I still take constant damage in the protected keeps! There are two different maps it's given me trouble on. Right now I'm in the bottom row, it's a forest stage you have to use a candle on and there's an A reward for Sheik, but besides the fact that the Mom Cucco is following me around and the end boss is the Dragon Knight himself, I take too much damage just tanking the keep and always get a B on that metric. :(

Pick up the fairy, it shows up on your item list along with your bow/bombs etc. Use it while you are inside the elemental fort.

edit: beaten :argh:

Wow gently caress Manhandla in the Adventure Mode map where they keep spawning while trying to get 700 kills. Dunno if it because of Lana and Impa empowering the enemies, but one shot from their laserbeam knocked Zelda from full health to near death.

It's a lot easier to guess what characters/weapons we'll get in the Majora's Mask pack. If the TP one isn't humanoid Midna it's probably going to end up being somebody I'll only remember after I see a picture. :v:

edit: I actually thought that Agitha was also a HW original character until I looked it up. :downs:

It's okay, I saw her and was like "Wow, young Zelda has a WEIRD design in this game." Then I saw the screenshots and remembered "Oh, the bug girl! Really?"

I like Agitha being in the game, though. (Even though I haven't unlocked her) Opens the doors for all kinds of ridiculous minor characters for DLC. Speaking of which, my initial bets for the 3 unknowns are King Bulbin from TP (or Wolf Link if they decide to go :effort:) and Skull Kid/Tingle for MM.

I just tried Midna's tier 2 weapon mission like 4 times. First time I got the skulltulla and heart pieces and failed. Second time, I got all that, won, but was a few second over. Third time I took too much damage from rushing.

Finally, finally I rocked the mission. And my Wii U crashes before the score screen. I hate this level and its stupid overpowered Dinolfos.

As lol as her design is, I actually like her alright. She's appropriately creepy. :shrug:

She also looks like a lot of fun to play, so do Volga and Wizro. Really there haven't been any characters so far that I don't like- I haven't been able to say that about any other Warriors game I've played. Honestly I think that the game benefits a lot from having a relatively small, tightly focused cast.

The special attack with Link's Gauntlets is the greatest ever, I can't use Seismic Toss enough. :v:

^edit: Never stop dodging until he uses the beam or the 360 bullet hell spam. His weak gauge after using either lasts a decently long time. Don't rely on blocking too much, he throws out a whole lot of hits.

designs no more weird than some other female villains in the series, like Twinrova and Veran.

she's a cool and powerful female character and I can't wait to play her

She's total poo poo if your just mashing light attack, build up her meter via her finishers (more enemies she hits more she charges) then just use her normal heavy attack to fire devastating waves that deal absurd damage and knock back. It's nuts.

Also why is everything with the ball and chain brutal? Fighting another character like Lana who's text box is "Let's have a fun sparring match :)" and Link hefts a boulder up and loving smashes it over her head, Zelda is talking about bringing light to Hyrule and nope Link just punches a spiked ball into her head with his fist. I can't stop laughing at how over the top it is.

You should also just mash Y with Ruto for the easiest Giant Boss weakness gauge killer in the game. She's extremely good.

I will have to try that, but man her strong attack leaves her wide open and it's hard to get used to that after Impa.

Also the best animation in the game is Darunia riding a hot beat back to his home planet.

For them, it IS a sparring match.

You kinda get the tone of the whole piece from the intro. Link causes an energy boom as a cadet, and no one gives a damm.

Whoever thought of combining the gauntlets with the ball and chain was a loving genius. Are the lightning fists a reference to something that I'm forgetting, or are they there because crashing a loving stone pillar into your enemies just isn't :black101: enough?

To be fair he was using a training sword and he bopped a guy on the head who was wearing a helmet, dude didn't even fall over.

Cia and both of those costumes look cool, particularly because it gives an option to replace Lana's dumb costume with. And I really want to see how they're going to make the horse work. I mean it's not as weird as the great fairy, but still.

More importantly though, where the hell is the Volga trailer?

This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know if Hyrule Warriors allows you to download the DLC before you get the game? I know with most games it doesn't matter, but sometimes games need to create save data before you can install DLC data, so I figured I'd ask before putting in my Amazon code tonight.

"Season Pass" is kind of a misleading term, I don't think I've ever seen any game get more than one. Every game gets cancelled after one season like a FOX show. :v:

Didn't Gearbox do multiple season passes for Borderlands 2? I remember it being a big point of contention because they implied the original season pass would give you all the DLC but then they randomly decided the "season" was over and released a bunch more DLC that required a second pass.

Nope. The Season pass included all the campaign DLC, but the 2 bonus characters and the costume stuff was always separate.

Season Passes get you a season of DLC

Injustice had a season pass and then had more DLC after the season. Dunno about BL2, but with Injustice they were upfront about the amount of content the pack would contain, and people were still mad that DLC released long after the pass was fully honored weren't included.

I've never understood the disdain for "season passes". Its kinda an nonsensical term, given that video games don't have seasons like sports or tv shows or something, but all the season passes I've seen clearly outline what is and isn't included, and anyone getting upset about not every single piece of content ever released for a game is just someone who failed to read the fine print of they purchased.

bioshocks infinite didn't really, was very vague and people got a challenge mode (when they were expecting story) and then the story one was broken into two parts in what seemed like just an attempt to fill out the promise of 3 DLC packs.

Outside of that it's pretty good.
