So here are some screenshots of Sophitia wrecking dudes, also there's this guy with a spear called "Nata" but we don't care because he's not a guest character. Countdown to Luffy D. Monkey and Kenshiro getting ported into WO3U. edit: Oh gently caress check this crazy poo poo out three new dudes in Sengoku BASARA 4 and one of them uses a loving DEER as a weapon.

Been playing Shu, and holy poo poo is Xu Shu amazing. His moveset looks fantastic and plays fantastically (and, thankfully, isn't a huge Assassin's Creed ripoff). Particular props go to his basic Musou, which does great damage, has a great range, and fills up ninety per cent of your Rage gauge per pop (which is good because he's also got a pretty impressive 'gently caress you and your five hundred friends' Rampage).

But seriously, Hideyoshi is awesome, and him and Hanbei coming back for 4 is awesome. You should watch the Sengoku Basara anime, too.

Goes to show how varied tastes are, I don't like anything about Xu Shu. His wea mpon drags you all over the place, I felt his EX was unwieldy. He's fot another wishywashy confidence-problem personality, and I thought his deep hood scruffy look made him look like a meth dealer. I finally caught up with tao qian, that's a pain in the rear end even with 4star gear and a lv40 Cao Ren. I prepped by taking Ren into free mode yellow turban rebellion. There is a staircase in the west that never runs out of enemies; I spent 15 minutes in the same rage musou running back and forth. Pegged out both combo and kill count at 9999, and decided I had enough. Hell of a fun exploit.

Oh hey, the 360 version finally got patched today. There still seems to be a little slowdown in places, but for the most part, it's solid.

The PS3 still gets slowdowns, but a lot of poo poo has to be on-screen first. It's particularly noticed (as has been mentioned a few times by others in this thread) at Chibi, once everything is on fire. I have seen youtubes of pre-patch 360 DW8 though, *nowhere* near that awful.

I always wonder, what do these patches even DO? They can't rewrite the entire rendering engine to make it run better; not like that at least.

The PS3 versions have changelogs; 360 patches tend not to. What I really mean is, internally, what they do to increase framerate out of nowhere. Like, from a mechanics point in the engine. What do they tweak, that sorta thing. Like, the changelog will say, for instance, "fixed frame rate issues in Clusterfuck Land when everything is on fire", well, what did they do? Turn down the fire? Reduce the amount of people? Increase LoD model usage? I know the answer is probably "all of those", but I like to know, you know?

There's only so much data you're entitled to from a developer. They don't entirely want you to know how hosed up things were at the start.

Anyone have any tips on getting the five star Rod and Bow? I never seem to get any messages regarding gates at all and I've gotten to the area you need to within a minute of the battle starting and still haven't gotten it to appear. I also tried just killing Lu Bu at the start and that isn't working either.

Holy hell, the pathfinding for the bridgelayer in 'Ambush at Chang'an' is horrifyingly bad. I got it to do its thing in time to murder Xiahou Mao and grab the star after a few tries, but it really wasn't easy.

If he'll give you free poo poo, anyone will.

Do you ever have any missions where your character choice drastically changes your start position? I'm finally working my way through Story Mode and that's kind of a shame if not. e: hahahaha Guan Yu just exploded into heaven. Thanks, DW8.

I don't think so, but some characters get different missions than others, so it could change how you play the campaign. Like in Defence of Xu Province if you pick Zhang Fei you go down along the bottom and clear out an entirely separate part of the map from the other characters you could play as.

I just picked this up, played the Wu story which was ace and now i'm running through a bit of Ambition mode. I really like some of the new features (while it's bare bones, the concept of having to change weapon to suit your enemy is pretty cool) but my favorite is either the horse button (loving AMAZING) or the switch counter. I can't do it all the time, but when I do it feels like there's a new level to the combat even though there definitely isn't. I liked how in the Wu story at least, the limit on selectable characters meant you got a lot closer to the story, and managed to make some characters (Sun Quan) a bit more likeable. Hopefully it's the same for the other kingdoms.

One of the cooler ones is on Changban, where the missions will branch out quite a lot depending on who you play as. Zhuge Liang covers Liu Bei as he and the peasants escape, Zhao Yun has to go save Liu Shan, and of course Zhang Fei spends the whole stage on that bridge kicking everyone's rear end.

Especially once Zhang Fei blocks the Cao army's arrows with a board... then tips it over to reveal a bundle of spears, which he starts chucking at the Cao army from outside of their archers' range. And that other bridge that he's not manning? He left it alone as bait because, as the Cao army will find out too late when they desperately try to cross and flank him, it can't take their weight!The Ravages of Time's Zhang Fei: The best Zhang Fei.

There's actually both a Chinese Ravages MMO and an Android card game, but they're... ehhhhhh.  I'd rather play the otome (I poo poo you not) than those.
