gently caress, I bought the 360 version without reading the thread first. Of course the first mission I load up was the Yellow Turban Rebellion with Shu, and head straight into the fire cave. Gamestop's not going to let me swap this, are they? :/ Edit: Nope. Looks like I'm starting an SA-Mart thread. Beanzor fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Jul 17, 2013 |

drat game takes like 30 minutes to install on PS3. On the upside this has granted me time to go find my XXXL size Shu shirt I got for preordering DW4 or so. Sadly it only came in that size but I still wear it on release days. Gotta represent Guan Yu.

Goddamnit. I only own a 360 and this would have been the first game I've bought for it since like Feb of 2012. I'm sad now.

Uh, weird. I checked PSN for DW8 like an hour ago and it was there, with the price listed and everything. Now I go back and it's "disc only" with no way to buy it and the price is gone? Did I miss it?

360 ver is bad in places but I've not experienced any constant slowdown in the Wei campaign so far. They'll patch it eventually anyway.

Oddly, when I searched for it in the PSN store, there were two listings for the game, one downloadable, one disc.

I got tired of waiting for the Playstation Store to update, so I just went to EB Games and bought it. The girl who sold it to me threw in the pre-order bonus costumes because I was there early and she had extras. So... bonus?

As far as I can see (from a wiki skim), this Stankberg Craniarch dude is some generic anime knight with a sword. Someone with more knowledge should probably tell us what sets this guy apart.

Chortles posted:If it's anything like GameStop and preorder bonuses, expect the outfits to be future paid DLC (though at least if these are the only costumes from whatever such pack would eventually be that you would actually want, then yes it's a nice pre-order bonus). Yeah, it wasn't anything special. Costumes for Lu Xun, Guan Yu, Sun Shang Xiang and Zhao Yun - all from previous games (a mix of old Dynasty Warriors titles and ROTK titles.) None of those crazy modern costumes, sadly.

Samurai Sanders posted:It's a simple paper rock scissors game, if you see a ! over the enemy's head you are at a disadvantage, but if you see that crystal thing you are at an advantage, if you see nothing it means you are using the same type of weapon. Other than that which one you are using has no influence on the weapon's performance. Basically (as far as I've found in my like one hour of playing) you want to have two different weapon types to use against their respective weaknesses, and for the third type, you switch to your weapon that's WEAK to it, so that you can do the special switch counter thing. Otherwise enemies tend to be kinda spongy, even on normal. I'm doing Shu first (always start with your least favorite is my way of doing things) and I'm seriously hoping someone does a BENEVOLENCE counter for 8 as well.

Whoops: looks like whoever did the localization for a particular Wei stage (one of the what-if's?) mistook Cai Wenji for Zhenji (it's Cai Wenji in the Japanese, and in any case Lady Zhenji is redundant, it's just Lady Zhen).

DW8 has so many improvements over previous games it isn't even funny this is by far the best musou game ever. Absolutely loving everything about it. I feel like they took the Borderlands 2 approach to everything and just said gently caress it make everything overpowered. I'd say 1/2 to 3/4 the movesets I've seen so far have been good as opposed to around 10% I actually enjoyed in previous games. Everything just feels strong as hell and it's pretty amusing. Great game so far, already beat Shu and 1/2 way through Wu.

The game finally feels like a true sequel with the addition of extra types of powerful moves, a reason to actually use weapon switching with the affinity triangle and just the complete upgraded movesets of so many characters. I bought this just because I buy pretty much every DW game but goddamn, I am extremely surprised and satisfied with it so far.

I'm impressed with how colorful stages are. The beginning of Wei stage 1 wowed me. It looked very colorful with blue carpets and better lighting. (Its impressive for a Dynasty game.) I'm currently going through Shu so I can get my Pang Tong on.

I am in love with the General's Sword, sending shadows out to do your work for you is just too awesome, especially when it sets you up for a Storm Rush. This game has done a good job at making me feel like more of a meat grinder than usual.

Have they added any sort of lobby interface to the online portion? In Warriors Orochi 3 I remember it just kicking me back to the main menu a lot of times after doing some co-op and it was pretty frustrating having to go through setting things up every time.

My favorite thing so far is the ability some characters have (only seen it on Dian Wei and Xu Huang so far) to basically give themselves a short term attack powerup via their combos. It was great with Dian Wei, I was doing his triangle - triangle combo, getting the powerup, then one-shotting enemy officers with his musou. On that note, it feels like enemy officers and even grunts are a lot tougher across the board. The officers especially seem to like using musou attacks much more frequently. This is the first DW game where I've actually had to block regularly (also, locking onto the target when you block is great, is that new?).

I'm going to edit the OP to warn about the 360 version. We've had 2 bad reports and 1 "it's not so bad" report so it's probably legit. I'll work on doing a write up for 8 to replace 7 sometime (read: probably never). So far I've been trying out characters who are new or have new weapons and wasn't really all that impressed about most of them until I tried out Xiahou Yuan. C2 all day every day.

Should there be narration between the story stages? It's so weird to sit there as subtitles go by that I'm wondering if I hit some kind of bug.
