Belzac posted:Yuan Shao during the alliance? Liu Bei when talking about heroes? Dong Zhou before trying to kill him? Just some guesses. I bought the first 200 yen bit of DLC for DW8, a reenactment of some stage from DW3 it says. It was totally lame, just a small, generic looking map with some enemies and no unique dialog or anything. I bought a lot of the WO3 DLC, because it was pretty drat fun with lots of silly scenarios, but it seems that won't happen this time.

I just played a bit as Liu Bei to see if he would talk up to him, but nope. Why would he anyway? edit: well I'll be, he talks up to Yuan Shao and Dong Zhou. Anyway I found a really fast way to test it, in the Shosei mode base. I'm gonna try a lot of characters. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Mar 24, 2013 |

Haha, despite how she looks, Xiaoqiao talks down to everyone below the level of king or better, so her uptalking is limited to Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Liu Shan, and so on. She talks down to Lianshi, so I guess queen level isn't good enough, but up to Shangxiang, so I guess queens of other kingdoms are okay? She talks down to loving Guan Yu and Lu Bu. This is really amusing. edit: everyone below king level seems to talk up to Shangxiang. Not Sima Yi though, arrogant prick. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Mar 24, 2013 |

I'm not entirely surprised in Lianshi's case, as Lianshi was never made Empress in her lifetime, only posthumously.

Charles Martel posted:I'm enjoying the Wei story mode in DW7 so far, but that stages seem to go by much quicker and seem more linear and smaller than going through DW3's Musou Mode. I liked the slower pace and "bigger" feel of DW3 better that got me hooked on the series in the first place. Conquest mode is more of the same and some of the maps are even smaller scale. The closest you get now to the older stages structure is probably 7 Empires, non-skirmish battles are mostly just an objective and a bunch of bases in between you and it, but they're still fairly fast paced. In fact about 50% of the time my officers finished the stage while I was pissing about taking over some pointless base in the middle of nowhere.

My pain problem with SW3 was that it felt incredibly linear. Closed doors everywhere. You couldn't rush the battle with a death rush to the commander or just buy playing assassin and murdering every officer. It made replaying a stage feel the same every time. I've been playing DW3 with XL for the first time, and it's such a different experience from 6 and 7 - mooks are a serious threat that needs to be dealt with, your allies seem to matter(as a distraction from the hyper-aggressive mooks if nothing else). It feels more like a war and struggle than the PC is the unstoppable anime slaughtering hero who takes out a 1000 mooks with every weapon swing. One thing I don't miss is your combo string being tied to your weapon, since it makes that weapon matter so much. I remember when I played through DW5, I'd take a new character on normal through Guan Yu's Escape and that'd get them a 6-hit weapon pretty easily. Is there a good stage for this in 3? Also, I've cleared 3 Musuo modes and I still only have 2 bodyguards? How do you level up the amount you get in a unit? I distinctly remember having a 8-archer death squad flanking me when I played this way the hell back.

This is a better way of explaining my distinction so far between DW3 and DW7. Taking my time through a large level while still having a challenge and a small sense of urgency if you really start dragging your rear end is both relaxing and addictive to me. DW3 just really seemed to strike that chord well.

Samurai Sanders posted:I can't recommend SW3 at all. Something is just off about almost everything it does. Among other things, your allied officers all seem to have a third as many hit points as usual and will die off in droves unless you are right there protecting them, even mission critical ones. It was a very frustrating game that I sold after a week or so. I never touched 3 and now I'm glad. It's funny considering I'm one of the thread's biggest advocates of SW:Chronicles on the 3DS.

Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can still hear the sand samurai's lines as I try to speed run his stages for higher level weapons. THIS LAND OF FANTASY, THIS LAND OF WIND AND SAND IS MINE! Someday I will buy Utage and HD Collection. The 5 Basara platinums must be collected.

Wow, don't play the last "what if" Wei mission in DW8 unless you want to kill (not just force to retreat) every single officer in the Shu army, one by one. That was kind of a depressing fight.

Are any of the dream mode missions in FoTNS2 what ifs or is it just Koei trying to be creative without actually challenging the canon. Because it feels somewhat pointless.

It's all pretty pointless. After a few characters I just cheated my way through by plugging in a second controller and used a Level 50 Raoh to steamroll every stage for the other characters and skipped all the cutscenes.

I dunno about Utage, but I do want that HD collection.. I found the Karasu Castle stage better for weapons/xp, I had a crazy run of getting 6 fugitives in a row with my lowest level guy (like 70 something), with the xp items equipped he gained 4-5 levels each time. I also got really lucky getting daimyo helms while working on other stuff. What a cool game, I'm glad I came back to it. Did they make events skippable in Utage?

Is there any way to make the endgame of DW7E a bit more... fun and varied? I get about halfway through conquering the continent and end up inevitably becoming Brave while I go through a constant cycle of defend, invade, defend, invade. Should I be pissing around with other options a bit more, or something?

It's probably cheaper now.

DW8 in Japanese is pronounced "Shin Sangoku Musou Seven". Well, ever since Squaresoft abandoned the glorious tradition of loving with our filing systems, someone had to pick up the slack.

After doing that, you get the option to declare yourself Emperor. Getting Orderly to 6 apparently lets you take the Emperor into custody/protection.

DW3 just really seemed to strike that chord well. Y'know, this took me a while to realize (having played 3 when it came out, and just recently playing 7), but they really have ramped things up to kind of a ridiculous degree. I remember my very first mission in 3, I didn't really know how to play, so I went around the first map of Zhao Yun's Musou mode killing EVERYTHING I SAW. Eventually all of my allied officers were dead, it was down to just me and Liu Bei, and I had to systematically carve my way through every single enemy officer. It took me an hour or more, and at the end of it all I had a kill score of over a thousand. "Ho-ho-holy poo poo," I thought, "I just killed a thousand dudes! Awesome!" Of course I eventually realized that you could pretty much ignore the waves of mooks - the only important targets were enemy officers - and if I recall most missions would have kill counts in the 250-500 range. But in 7? Man, it seems like you can get 500 kills without even trying. Like, that's the baseline, and 1000 kills is downright common. Yawn, just another thousand corpses. I mean, I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad thing - the game is all about mowing down waves of faceless mooks, after all - but at this point enemy troops don't even feel like, y'know, enemies. Anything that isn't an officer is a walking screaming resource - wipe out these fifty dudes (it'll only take a quick combo) and pop! power-ups and meat buns and all the Musou gauge you could ever want! Well, except for archers. Archerrrsss...
