Tae posted:Good lord, is Warriors Orochi 1 supposed to be mega hard? I'm already stuck at the 2nd level of the game because Yue Ying and the map commander both die so easily and they go opposite ways on the map. Play as Guan Ping. His C4 was broken in that game, triggering element effects on every swing. Diaochan's C1 triggers elements, too, so you could slide your way through battles.

Oddly enough the other Warriors game I had the most difficulty with is Samurai Warriors Chronicles on the 3DS. Morale has a huge impact on how hard the enemies are and if you gently caress up enough missions (which is easy to do, some have very strict time limits) you can end up with some really tough, bordering on impossible, battles. On the flip side it's one of the easiest games to go back and tackle missions on a higher difficulty level because they're not the huge step up they often are in other Warriors games.

Is there any chance of an English release for SW Chronicles 2?

If you mean 2nd, it's not really a sequel, more of a Monster Hunter G style original game plus some extras. It's been out in Japan for 18 months or so and Koei has never mentioned a Western release, so it seems very unlikely.

http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/smusou7e/ DW8 Empires site is up. Only thing on it so far is a twitter campaign to guess the new guy for a chance to win a copy if you live in Japan.

 That's Xun Yu. Funny hat, billowy robes, Western-style boots, slender build, and girlish short hair? That's a strategist if I ever saw one.

Certainly. But 'girlish' is perhaps flawed, given Chen Gong and most of the men in the game.

Don't suppose anyone out there has a complete DW8XLC PC save laying around they could upload for me? I've played through most of the game as is and really just want to experience the rest of the campaign stages without having to jump through the hoops to unlock all the stars for the rest now.

I came into Dynasty Warriors 8 almost entirely blind, having not played a DW game since 5 due to never getting a PS3. I had no idea what had happened with the weapons of some of the older characters, so which one I picked was often by chance. I picked Huang Gai, remembering his club and bomb things from the older games. I...I was not prepared for what he does these days. This is the best game. Even aside from including some of my favorite older things like the alternate storylines from Samurai Warriors 1, Free Mode versions of the opposing side for most levels, the occasional entirely classic music track, playing Huang Gai blind for the first time was pretty much GAME OF THE YEAR. I have no idea how long he's had that gauntlet but whoever came up with that is a genius.

The look on me and my brother's face when he chose Huang Gai must have been priceless. We would have fought over who gets to play him, but thanks to DW8XL's whole 'anyone can use any weapon' feature we're both surfing on piles of dead Chinese people.

PureRok posted:Playing through 3 in preparation. After playing through DW 7 and 8, SW 3 feels like I'm playing a PS2 era Warriors game and it's so stiff compared to those. Can't wait for an "HD" Samurai Warriors. I've been playing sengoku basara in anticipation for 4 (only played 2 on 360) and I'm worried a bit it won't measure up. I hope to stand out more they'll go for a more historical based story ala DW 7, though these days if I really feel like unifying Japan I'll play a shogun 2 campaign.

I think Guo Jia and Jia Xu make up a solid team the way they've done them in the game, but there are a few Wei stages where you're taking strategic advice from a generic officer (Xun Yu) and it feels weird to have a generic officer talking so much. So yeah, get him filled in already. I haven't played Shu's XL stages yet, and I don't remember who Fa Zheng is at all, and I haven't been able to figure out from his weapon, appearance, or the lines I've heard from him in other stages, just who he is either.

Warriors Orochi 1 is bullshit. It's everything that I forgot was in earlier DW games like single arrows completely screwing you and super low damage on the very first enemy. And allies that die at 75% morale to grunts.

Do you get anything at all from completing XL Ambition Mode? I mean at least in the vanilla one you get access to all the stores, but this literally seems to be just "clean out the same maps like 4 times in a row and get back allies you already had".

Fully subjugating provinces earns you some unique weapons, and the final battle for the mode is kind of neat. Otherwise, there's nothing of note.

Yeah, I'd wish they'd focus more on fleshing out the earlier era rather than expanding the timeline into Jin territory, much as I enjoy most of the Jin people. Throw Liu Biao in there too.

I think the idea with Fa Zheng was to give Shu a more 'morally grey' character so they aren't just the generic good guys, but he still needs to exist in a Shu that's 24/7 benevolence talk, so instead of morally grey he just comes across kind of bipolar. Also 'Lie Bei' is an amazing typo.

Speaking of bullshit in Warriors games I remember a time I was playing DW Gundam 3 and I was on one of the extra stages going for 100%. I kill most of the enemy officers and only Ramba Ral is left...in an Acguy. And he goes from the enemy main zone to our main zone and tears rear end all the way and takes our main base. Alone, with no support, through all our officers, he defeated everything and when he took our zone I finally had to recognize the threat he posed.

High personal morale will do that. Anyone with high morale will always win off-screen conflicts. Max morale people, ally or enemy, will basically rip through everything in seconds before you have a chance to react.

I mean it's constant honour this and benevolence that and when you come right down to it they betray and backstab enough people that they make even Lu Bu seem like a decent enough dude. Hell, by our standards Cao Cao's more of a good guy (much less actually effective) than Liu Bei, not least because of goals that are way more concrete than even traditional lore Liu Bei's, so Koei had to do something about Shu... the problem is, what they came up with comes off as even more cartoonish (than the pre-7 games' Shu) in its own way because of how much more grounded the other main factions (Wei, Wu, Jin) are in 7 and 8. Heck, like Endorph alluded to about Fa Zheng, pretty much any room for even subtle intra-faction variety "needs to exist in a Shu that's 24/7 benevolence talk", which makes for a Shu with even less variety/subtlety than in the traditional lore! You can see TK2010 for a lot of what DW leaves out re: Shu... for example, when Zhao Yun privately protests having a drawing rigged in his favor -- both slips were essentially "you lose", and if Zhao Yun had drawn first Zhuge Liang would have flat-out lied and declared him the winner -- Zhuge Liang claims that Zhang Fei demonstrated his impulsiveness and therefore unworthiness of the 'prize' by drawing first. (There's also a subplot -- leading up to Liu Bei's refusal to heed Zhuge Liang's advice and therefore attacking Wu, hence Yiling -- that in a way, Zhuge Liang was "the odd man out" among the 'classic' Shu roster.)
