My favorite is the opening scene in... WO3 I think. Where they have Cao Cao and Nobunaga just staring each other down.

Speaking of Nobunage, his Japanese voice makes him sound... Kinda stupid? I always figured he'd have a deeper, more pragmatic or at least kind of 'evil' voice considering what I've heard about him, but... Is he supposed to be a fop? Like, is that the Japanese perception? Or does he just sound normal to everybody else?

His early conquests were successful in part because he acted like such an idiot all his neighbors thought he was incompetent. One of his own retainers killed himself because he thought Nobunaga would bring shame to the Oda clan. He's also known for doing weird stuff like reciting poetry and dancing before battle.

I think they're trying to make him sound as much like Nobio Wakamoto without actually having Nobio Watamoto. (for those that don't know, Nobio VAs Nobunaga in Sengoku Basara and is seen as a Japanese Brian Blessed.)

Policenaut posted:As someone who was in your shoes a few months ago, let me tell you to wait on Pirate Warriors. PW1 is shockingly barebones and omits tons of content (such as Thriller Bark!) while PW2 is shaping up to be a fully comprehensive package and then some. The good news is that PW2 isn't set for Western release until the summer. Ah, alright then, thanks Policenaut! I'm going to get WO3 but I want to know how hard is it to plat? I generally like to 100% most games unless they have some bullshit requirements (mahjong or pachinko in Yakuza 4, for example) or they have a lot of multiplayer trophies (I generally buy games way after they came out, so there's not many people playing the multiplayer)

WO3 just came in the mail from Glyde today and I played two scenarios. I had no idea what was going on at first, it's much more frantic than DW7. After awhile I caught on and its awesome. Anything I need to know? I've only played two mission of DW7 and that's it.

All you need to know about WO3 is that the SW and DW characters have different playstyles (Musou mechanics being the biggest difference). If you want to know about the previous WO games' storylines, there's an encyclopedia menu. Just bask in the timeline shenanigans while murdering millions of dudes.

I just finished the Wu what if scenario in 8. They all decided that it was okay for each of them to only rule a third of China, and stopped fighting. Stopped fighting? A third of China is good enough? What the gently caress is going on here?

Even ignoring the fact that it's Wu, none of the warlords in the entire series would be content with just a third of China. Still hoping for the eventual world conquest by the Sun family.

Raserys posted:THE TIGER OF JIANG DONG CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH Having just gotten around to playing it, that sounds like it follows the family's characterization in 7, actually. Most of Sun Jian and Sun Quan's ambition came from trying to provide a safe land for their family and people to live in and didn't really care about the whole 'rule all of China' thing. It was just that the guy trying to rule all of China was a warmongering douche who needed to be forcibly removed for the good of the people of Wu, and if someone had to take his place, well, why not the Sun family. That was one thing I liked about 7 compared to the other Dynasty Warriors games- Shu had ambition but lacked direction and resolve until they picked up Zhuge Liang (and became fanatical about their goals to the point of folly after he died). Wei wanted to bring unified peace but decided martial force was the only way he could be sure it would stick and became ruthless conquerors that terrified the other two kingdoms into action. The Sun family just kinda wanted to be left alone and didn't really care much about anything besides protecting their own Kingdom, even if it meant doing some shady things for their own good instead of for the land as a whole. All the Kingdoms came off as heavily flawed this time around... as befitting of the game that finally introduced the scenario that is basically the fall of the Three Kingdoms, I guess.

Awesome. DW8 is on the way soon and is getting actual localization value. Dynasty Warriors dubs have always been terrible, but in a charming way like old kung fu movies. I'd miss it if I wasn't warned not to chase Lu Bu in a language I understood, so I have absolutely no excuse when I ignore the advice and get murdered.

It's been awhile since I played DW7 now, but I remember really liking the endings this time around. I remember Wei's ending being especially good with Xiahou Dun talking to Cao Cao as he died in bed or something.

Raserys posted:THE TIGER OF JIANG DONG CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH To some extent, it comes off like without an animating ideology of "conquest" or "benevolence" (oh boy) Wu is more of a "family business" that needs that secure foundation more than they need more tenuously held territory. I don't know if the DW8 what-if ending/stages have any of the factors that influenced this in the canon timeline? Such as the Sun family nearly losing everything and being reduced to Sun Ce being one of Yuan Shu's officers until deciding to use the Imperial Seal to 'borrow' troops with which to conquer southeastern China, but then the defeats at Hefei at Zhang Liao's hands basically putting a halt to Sun Quan's "ride the momentum" post-Chibi attempt to strike northward and turning his eyes back to Jing Province.

It's a lot harder for me to pay attention when the dialogue is in Japanese. I usually try and translate in my head, which can be distracting. It's just much easier with it in English. I just wish they would have two different message buffers. One that deals with just Officer KO count and major kills, and the other with actual important events. Samurai Warriors sort of did this (I think), when the map itself would just have a tag with the name and KO count. Though I remember a message still appearing in the buffer as well.

Sun Ce pissed off a wizardy dude by killing him. He kept appearing in Sun Ce's dreams until he basically died from exhaustion (I think).

I was bored today and fired up Dynasty Warriors 3 on the original XBox. What a blast from the past. Seeing as how DW7 is the current recommendation in the OP, I see GameStop has it for the 360 new for $25. Worth the price? Is any of the DLC worth it?

If you have a PS3 I'd recommend getting that version, just in case you like DW7 enough to want the PS3-exclusive Xtreme Legends expansion later. If not, it's still a great game on 360 and that's not a bad price for it. e: no new 7E DLC this week?

It's just much easier with it in English. I'm actually the opposite. I took Japanese classes a long time ago and I often find myself translating (with some context clues) without even thinking about it and skipping over the subtitles all together. It's kind of cool to be able to pick up on phrases and stuff from a language I haven't really been exposed to in over a decade.

You know, I don't often notice individual tracks of music from DW games, they all kind of run together in my head, but just Wang Yi's is pretty badass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vStcfKl8EbU Also she is bitter as gently caress in one of the Wu alternate stages, where she is up against all the Wu wives. She says to Liangshi something like "I hate that look on your face, it's the look of someone who still thinks she can protect the people she loves".

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Her stage in 7XL (which has this music) was the first time outside of Ken's Rage that I actually thought a song was remarkable in a Koei game. Gundam original songs not withstanding.
