5er posted:Zhao Yun's romanticized account I think resonated with the (also dramatized) account of Sanada Nobushige's career, and Nobushige is a huge paragon of martial valor- they both drew lots with an eventually losing side but demonstrated immense martial prowess and a stoic adherence to their principles and virtues.  That said, on thing I've been noticing in my read through of Three Kingdoms again, is that Zhao Yun is played up like CRAZY, compared to what people have been saying here. He pops up early in the book under Gongsun Zan, and has Liu Bei man-crushing on him until he joins what will become the Shu. Also in the footnotes, they related basically a Baldur-esque death for him where his wife accidentally kills him by pricking him with a needle (She'd noticed he had no battle scars and was joking that now he did as she poked him with the needle). Not that he actually DOES much that couldn't have just been "An officer", it's just for the first major parts he's somehow this phenominal deal. Of course part of the books agenda is to make the Shu look like the proper inheretors of the Han Dynasty, so things like Hua Xiongs death are given to other actors (It's thought that historically he died to Sun Jian, but they had Guan Yu kill him because of the deification of Guan and the other members of Shu)

Apparently history doesn't credit Guan Yu with Wen Chou's death (Ravages gives that to Zhang Liao), only Yan Liang's, and there's speculation as to whether Yan Liang was actually a military officer much less a warrior of repute or simply made that way in the novel to make Guan Yu look better by hyping up whoever he'd cut down.

5er posted:I totally do also. 8's system seemed like they were putting effort into making it worse but still functional. I wish you could temper 5 star weapons, or at least you could grind / re-run them for different traits. I agree. Kind of. Maybe. Letting you change the attributes of the five star weapons could end up feeling like DW6 all over where none of the weapons really feel different other than some marginal stat increases. It would be cool if they did like WO3 and let you change the stats on the five star / unique weapons but gave them huge compatability boosts or did like DW3 (I think?) where the fourth weapons could get attributes that would not appear on lower weapons at all. I do like the five star weapons though, most of them are really good and it makes me use elements I probably wouldn't normally. If I could set everyone's weapons to whatever it would all just be Slash, Flash, Morass, and Frenzy all the time. They really need to get around to releasing the DLC so that I can start carrying two five star weapons on my dudes.

Started playing WO3 again to try and get everyone on S proficiency (need those sweet, fictional trophies) and remembered how much I like the DW6 outfits. Some of 'em are so out there that they make the new ones boring, like Pang Tong as a moth or Zhou Yun's silver armor. Does anyone here have those graph like images of the hypothetical and the 5-star weapon requirements for DW8 for each kingdom? So far I've only been able to find Shu's, but I finished that one already. There are other guides out there, but those pictures looked more organized.

I'm assuming you're simply looking for information on accomplishing these goals so here's what I have. I used this guide here for the weapons but the Koei Wiki has its own for all the weapons as well if a lot more cluttered, the actual info is underneath all the weapon images. For the hypothetical routes I was using a site that had picture guides of both these things painstakingly translated for the foreign version and it was cluttered, but again, the Koei Wiki has you covered on that with better layout. e. Maybe this is what you're looking for? e2. Also found that website that I used myself Lunethex fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Sep 1, 2013 |

I sure am. It really seems like the first Pirate Warriors, which was already pretty good, with all the stupid bullshit cut out and the combat system hella improved. Plus, I really dig One Piece so I'd like it anyways. Can't wait to play as Garp.

There's a rumor that Koei is going to announce Shin Gundam Musou this week. Boy, that's going to confuse the English title numbering even more, having Shin be the FOURTH game in the series.

No idea how Pirate Warriors 2 measures up to the rest of the Musou stuff but it is a huge improvement on the first game. They even made Hannyabal's flames less annoying and put nicer looking background objects in Shabondy. And just having to hit square at level select to play online is a loving masterstroke.

DWG3 is the best non Dynasty non Orochi warriors game in my opinion and it's driven me crazy that we have gone so long without hearing about a followup.

I didn't care much for the space levels in DWG2 but I did miss them in DWG3 for some reason. I really liked most of the levels in DWG3 but there seemed like there were too few of them.

For clarification, Weekly Famitsu's supposed leaked cover/index for next week advertises Shin Gundam Musou for PS3 and Vita. Could be interesting I guess.

Shin Gundam Musou is real according to accredited magazine leaker Sinobi. Due out December 19th on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. Will include over 100 mobile suits and weapon growth.Takoluka posted:Would it be weird to ask for/want a Shin Koihime Musou game that's an actual Musou game and not a strategy visual novel thing?

"We took the things people liked from DWG2 and the things people liked from DWG3 and dumped a couple dozen more suits in." Sounds good to me. Here's hoping we get some more G Gundam suits (we won't).

Hmm, I dunno, I really liked the cel-shaded style of 3. I guess we'll see how it goes, hoping for more G Gundam suits as well, and if not, then at least let us have the Dendrobium, since they're apparently adding playable mobile armors.

They re-titled it "SHIN" because they are combining the classic DW style with Gundam Extreme VS. A guy can dream, can't he?

    Missing that cel shading. Hope they still do that chain explosion thing with enemies. That was a lot of fun in Gundam 3. e: more screenshots here: http://gematsu.com/2013/09/first-look-at-shin-gundam-musou see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Sep 4, 2013 |

All I want is more G Gundam. Hell, now that Master Asia's English voice actor is dead, none of the original dub VAs are in the game. Give me Rising Gundam, Spiegel, Nobel, even Chibodee's! Something!

I was also a big fan of the cell shading. I've played DWG2 recently and I really like the not cell shaded graphics as well, just not as much. Those pictures are kind of small but they do look better than I remember DWG2 looking so hopefully it all balances out. DWG2 made me watch G Gundam,and all of the original Gundam up through Z Gundam and Char's Counter attack. Maybe I'll check out ZZ and this ultra animu Gundam Seed crap next.

Man Smoker is a ton of fun to play in Pirate Warriors 2. I like how they made every character REALLY REALLY distinct. It's kind of impressive, to be honest. They all have their own unique gimmicks, speeds, fuckloads of attacks... It just seems so drat POLISHED. I'm only a bit concerned with there not being a post-story mode besides challenge missions. If this game had the missions system of Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 it'd officially overtake WO3 as my top Warriors game. Then again WO3 didn't have any post-story game mode either and it's my top game currently, so maybe I'm being unfair.

The way they made the characters and the gameplay itself feel distinct was a positive in the last game. Until you played Brooke or Franky and it was more of a hassle than a fun element. I really can't wait until this weekend when I can play the drat game.
