So for those of us that have this game what do you think of it? I just got the full game yesterday and I think so far it is awesome.

I'm really enjoying it. They've done a really great job of cramming so much Breath of the Wild into A Warriors game. I've got 10 playable characters so far, all with such varying play styles that you really have to take the time to develop your techniques with each one... Yeah, it's a great game.

Absolutely loving it! I also have 10 playable characters so far.
I love the changes they've made for Hyrule Warriors for Age of Calamity. Super impressed with how they've put so much Breath of the Wild into it. I love the level designs, they are right out of BotW.
The story is fantastic! Just having so much fun!

I think you're going to enjoy how they use the map.

Truth known I bought it for one of my sons. That being said I’m really excited about it because you can do 2 player coop, and I can’t wait to see how they used the map and incorporated BOTW into it.

I was going to day one this game, but after seeing the framerate spend a lot of time in the teens, I decided to hold off. Im still interested, but mainly for the story. After Fire Emblem Warriors performed so well technically, I was shocked to see the state of which Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity launched. Just like the original on Wii U, Im sure its "playable", but with so many good games out on Switch, its hard to accept poor performance.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I actually haven't noticed a dip in the frame rate while playing.

You must not notice framerate drops hardly ever then, cause its terrible.

I will say this, when I played Hyrule Warriors on Wii U, it had a similar framerate and it didnt break the game for me. These games actually tie the gameplay physics to the framerate. When the framerate drops the gameplay slows down. For the most part, I prefer this over games that allow the gameplay to run full speed, but the action on screen looks like a slide show. Hyrule Warriors suffers from a lot of slowdown, but it feels ok because it feels similar to games that use bullet time. The action slows down and in some ways makes it easier to play. I will end up getting Age of Calamity at some point, but right now my backlog of games is just too big.

Yup, for me, the frame rate "issues" are actually great. They never negatively affect the gameplay, in fact, they feel more like a positive bit of feedback. As in, when you manage to tank the frame rate, you know that you are doing some serious SERIOUS carnage!
