I've been playing Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole for the WII a lot and I can honestly say it's one of my favorite video games. It may be repetitive, but what makes repetition interesting is strategy. There are certain enemies you have to use certain moves on, and the pure adrenaline I get from watching all other enemies scramble (fly) out of the way as you charge at one makes it all worth it.

For those who haven't played it, it does kind of follow the Canon of the film (for the most part) except you play as 'Shard', who can be one of four different owl species of your choosing. The Hagsfiends from the books are here for some reason, and they annoyingly encapsulate the 'holders of Witchcraft' role they play by being exclusively female.

In fact, it's kind of jarring how imbalanced NPCs and enemies are when it comes to gender. The Pure One soldiers you fight all have the same voice (maybe 2 voices)... a male voice, and the only female plot-relevant NPC you meet is Bryony, a Great-Horned Owl who leads a resistance against The Pure Ones.

Honestly... if it didn't bother her too much to leave the resistance, I kinda wish we got her as a Wingman instead of Cormac. Because with Streak and Parzival, they're actually relevant to the plot and have their own speaking lines and character arcs and Cormac has... nothing. Oh well a guy can dream.

Remember Allomere from the film? In this game you get to throw him against rocks until he dies >:D

on the topic of gog’h, how about the sass queen herself, Otulissa? Or maybe Allomere?

Have a Metal Beak too

Had a fun time in the stream, thanks so much for coming! Here are the results of the stream. Another line of the 100 characters has been filled, a little doodle page and a request for @hyperburn3r.  °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

why didn’t allomere told metal beak about the band in the first place?

I'd say he probably just didn't think they were much of a threat. After all, they are a ragtag band of kids. And truth be told, it's possible he did tell Metal Beak, off screen, that some kids from St. Aggie's had shown up at the tree and neither was that concerned. Either way could still lead to the scene where they show up, Metal Beak demands to know why Allomere told him all the guardians were coming, and Allomere essentially responds, "they did! Those are just some kids!" After all, there are other owls at the tree (i.e. not everyone is a guardian). But Otulissa and those others didn't show up. Allomere's not used to kids being an actual threat. And Metal Bea probably isn't either.
