So what are the odds any of these titles will be coming to PC? If my steam friends list is any indicator, the Dynasty Warriors 8 port did pretty well.

All the trailers for One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 show a Steam logo so that's atleast coming.

Has anyone been watching the Sengoku Musou anime? I can't figure out why they made it. It is a bad advertisement for the games. It skips a lot of the best characters since it starts with Hideyoshi's death. It focuses on the Sanada brothers like 4, but it looks like their storyline will be wrapped up less than halfway through the season. The Ii guy that is new in 4-2 was in like 2 minutes of episode 4.

I'm enjoying it a lot, though it's the equivalent of a bunch of in-game cutscenes with no fights connecting them. The series doesn't really need advertisement, considering how well Sengoku Musou does in Japan every release. It's very much a "This is for fans of the series", if only for the fact that Episode 0/the OVA were bundled with the SE of the game, and no one really gets an introduction. It just kinda assumes you know everything already.

Also, the OP/ED are both awesome.

Wiper has a question mark beside him because I'm not sure. You see him doing a musou attack and being summoned in by Luffy, but not actually in the player's control, so he might just be some sort of 'assist' character.

Sweet, looks like they are going back to the regular story instead of going with a new one. Or maybe they will do both like in the newest Gundam game. Also they are fleshing out some of the early stuff so that's cool.

I don't know how rad it is. I've been watching this dude on youtube because he seems to be the person demonstrating the game as thoroughly as possible. It looks like fun, but it also seems to have some faults that could limit it's appeal. I still don't fully understand the title system, and its clear that the japanese version has experimented with a variety of updates that govern progression and leveling, while also introducing some bugs.

Does anyone think 8XL would be a good purchase for someone who got WO3 played through it through chapter 3-4ish but stopped partly because of the lack of story (or rather probably attachments to the characters)?

Basically as well, does it play at least somewhat differently than WO3 to make it worth while? Maybe the ambition? (the one where you conquer a map) will add enough window dressing to feel fresh?

I enjoyed both it and WO3, and it certainly does more to explain the characters and stuff than WO3 does. Playing Orochi first would seriously confuse the gently caress out of anyone.

I want to know about the performance on the PS4 though. I have it on the PC but due to an unresolved controller issue that I gave up on a long time ago, I don't play it.

edit: ambition mode is awful though.

What exactly is "ambition mode?" Something about making a village or city and building it up a certain way by fighting battles?

Basically you collect junk to build up a pad for the Emperor to chill in and collect major/minor officers on the way by fighting the same battlefields over and over again. Oh, and the same battles are timed.

Oh, and the fun really begins after you build up that pad and choose to go new game plus.

Kind of worth it if you want to invest gold towards leveling up officers with the Academy. But it is tedious as gently caress. Still, gives you a poo poo load of gems!

I have the alternate soldiers pack. They never made female models for the hub.

It is kind of hilarious. Especially in battle when you have to save the hand maidens.

It also applies to cut scenes in story mode. Seeing Cao Cao and Dian Wei being served food by two European knights right before Wan Castle catches fire is fairly amusing.

Use Charge Attacks a ton. I think each giant boss has weakpoints during some attacks that show up that if you use a charge attack on instantly downs them. Other than that, there's not much, Mobile Armors are basically the worst.

DW 8, Warriors Orochi 3 and Samurai Warriors 4, all on the PS4, first two are on Bone and 360 I think, but it's the older/not complete versions on 360.
WO3 is maybe not that great a pick if you're not familiar with characters from the other two though.
