Does that imply that DW8XL has all the content of DW8 on the disc? You just need a saved game and all the content unlocks?

It just kind of seems to end really abruptly. What happens to Cao Cao, and the rest of his group? Is this explained in the other campaigns?

They all overlap at parts, but Shu starts you at the yellow turbans, and wei starts you at dong zhou. If you haven't played DW before this would make no god drat sense.

Or you could do like I do and play them all in a circle, alternating every stage. It gives good variety.

DW8 question: I've noticed a few weapons have fancy golden stars instead of dots to denote their level, a special red background color in their picture, and level 7-9 abilities. I assume these are rare special weapons of some kind?

Also I decided to grab DW7:E first now to get back into the series and jesus christ, Lu Bu with Red Hare just feels like I'm cheating. I'm on normal and I'm killing some unique lieutenants before I even need to hop off Red Hare at times, not to mention the speed alone being enough to completely blitz invasions and defenses.

UberJumper posted:Why does does that Wu guy use a canoe as a weapon Why wouldn't he? Slightly more serious answer - Huang Gai was known as a skilled naval commander, and led the legendary fire attack at Chibi. Thus, the game designers chose to represent this by having him murder dudes with a boat.

He used to have a giant hammer, but his moveset with it was really awful. The canoe is actually an improvement.

My favorite thing about Sun Jian is that whenever he shows up he is always having a blast. Even after getting shot with arrows and surviving he just goes "Well that's it for me, just gonna go retire and relax now." and then just does whatever strikes his fancy.

Wow Wu really keeps getting the poo poo kicked out of them. Pretty much every battle i have played so far has been them attacking something and the end result is them being forced to retreat. *EDIT* Ahaha, i just burst out laughing after the CGI video of Wu leader giving the big rousing speech and leading his army again against Wei. Following that the game tells me was apparently defeated again. UberJumper fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Apr 21, 2014 |

Previous games didn't like showing defeats so they would have you crush everyone, then afterwards say "Wu was forced to retreat". B-but I just won? At least 7 and 8 will admit to Wu's downfall.

One good thing about DW Next was even in the campaign mode it goes 'gently caress history' and has whichever faction you're playing win and take over the whole country.

Next doesn't really do much with the story after a while, so it's basically you just taking over every territory followed by a CGI of everyone celebrating. Which is kinda how the older games handled it if I remember correctly.

That said, reading between the lines (or maybe not reading at all there's multiple tellings) Liu Bei never intended to return the province to begin with. You'll find out more about Zhuge Liang in Shu's story, just know for now he's a strategic genius with a lot of irons in the fire

Anyways following that I don't really get the next mission, they defeat the shu leader, and the Wu Leader basically tells him to surrender and Wu and Shu become one faction. Then following this the game turns around and goes back to three factions .Also i cannot stop giggling at the "battle of shiting".

UberJumper posted:Yeah it feels like they are kinda awesome guys, they just cannot catch a break. Like how Guan yu basically refuses to give them the Jing province even though he was supposed to. Then they are just like okay... " is because of the continued threat of a second northern invasion thanks to Cao Cao's survival, and Wu's less-than-great result(s) against Wei at Hefei, deterring Wu from simply massing their forces against Shu. (Also, there were at least two attempts afterward by Zhou Yu at recovering Jing Province -- both thwarted by Zhuge Liang -- one of which included the arranged marriage of Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei.)As for Guan Yu... the novel alludes to Guan Yu letting his power (as de facto warlord of Jing Province, appointed to maintain the Shu holdings when Liu Bei and company marched on Yi Province) get to his head, so it may be questioned just how much he was actually following his brother's wish(es)... though I'd suggest that there was some degree of this even beforehand. Anecdote: When Guan Yu was in Cao Cao's service many years before, he was gifted the very horse that Lu Bu had ridden (once why Guan Yu has it after Lu Bu's downfall), only for Cao Cao to wonder aloud why Guan Yu was so profusely thanking him and kowtowing when he'd refused or only perfunctorily accepted gifts of gold, silk, banquets, titles, handmaidens... so Guan Yu told him to his face "so I can get back to Liu Bei that much faster!

Cheapen one's loyalty versus committing massacre - isn't the former method kinder? My grandfather is a Lu; not a Ding, nor a Dong. Father said, exchanging millions of lives for a good name is the filthiest method. That is how a Lu is different from the other conquerors. Which conqueror hasn't done all the unthinkable? When power is in hand, hasn't the Liu Emperors been benevolent for centuries?"
