First Impressions: Hyrule Warriors Is Zelda, But Not As We Know It - NLife

NLIfe:
"On paper, Nintendo's decision to ally Zelda with the Dynasty Warriors franchise makes perfect sense; Koei Tecmo's series is incredibly popular in its native Japan and Wii U owners are simply dying for another Hyrule-themed adventure to embark upon. However, almost immediately after the announcement of Hyrule Warriors there were rumblings of concern that the repetitive and shallow nature of the Warriors franchise would fail to placate seasoned Zelda fans accustomed to deep and rewarding gameplay.

I am really not sold on this games whatsoever, yet. The videos I have seen are so so. Now that I am reading this is "struggling to maintain 30fps" has me worried. I am not a 1080p 60fps snob, but 30fps should be the minimal standard at this point in time.

If this game has the Zelda name on it I would expect it to be amazing, of coarse there was that crap Cossbow training for Wii.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds494d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese494d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits493d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

The cool thing about the PS2 chainsaw display was that there was a (kind-of) hidden compartment at the back which was the exact size to hold the PS2 steelbook.

I have that controller but sadly I lost the main cord. And its not something that was anything close to being standard or easy to find.

PrimeVinister1180d ago

One of my friends had it back in the day and I had wondered alout why it had a detachable cord that you could lose.

My friend then said it was so they could manufacture the one unit and then fire its appropriate cord in the appropriate box.

But then we realised each version has a different socket on the unit itself - so there was zero point in it except for collectors to lose the cable.

You know the designers are on r/, gamecollecting, laughing away.

I kept my cord in the "hidden" little brown drawer on the base of the unit.
