If you are running around on a char that is barely built up enough for hard or chaos then that jumping charge from a group of spear men can nearly one shot you, same for a large group of archers. It isn't a difficult game by any means but compared to other warriors titles it's tougher.

WO1 was interesting in how much harder it was than any Warriors game before it. Normal felt like Hard, and it made me a lot better at Musou games. Then, WO2 did a complete 180, and not only was it super easy, the basic horse was as fast as WO1 Red Hare, and WO2 Red Hare was like being on an ancient Chinese motorcycle.

That was always my favorite part about Samurai Warriors 1, such a shame to see it go. Takoluka posted:WO1 was interesting in how much harder it was than any Warriors game before it.

You must not have been abusing a speed-type character's R1 attack (I think my preferred was Taishi Ci) because that was a great way to destroy every enemy general in the game. Lu Bu on Chaos? No problem. Fur20 fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Aug 17, 2015 |

Lu Bu on Chaos? No problem. You don't really know what to abuse when you first start the game. Taishi Ci is really good, but with timing, Mitsuhide's R1 can kill anything at nearly any level. They nerfed him and Ginchiyo's R1s in WO2, because they were unreasonably good. I think they lowered Taishi Ci's damage output on his R1 but kept the burn effect, as well as the knockback.

The branches in SW1 were so minor though. Each character only had 1 branch and some of them weren't even actual branches, just a bonus mission if you did some objectives. The only actual branching was through the create a warrior.

More like Crusader Kings, but in 16th century Japan. Edit: please note the last Nobunaga's Ambition game I played was for the NES, so it may have changed.

Today KT confirmed that the Steam version of Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence will have three bonus scenarios and a $10 discount for the first week of launch, making it $49.99. That's a pretty good deal since the PS4 version is full price and comes with one bonus scenario. PC was the lead platform so there should be no port problems, and the menus will be easier with mouse+keyboard than a DS4.

What's the deal with the Nobunaga series anyways? The idea of a Sengoku-era strategy game with more depth than Shogun is intriguing to me, but whenever I look at the series I just see a bunch of grids and stats and my eyes kind of glaze over.

The Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms games are great strategy games, but their major Thing is that they try and stay true to the incredible amounts of historical fiction and folklore surrounding the conflicts, not the history. Those stories are very much about the characters--like the time where Zhuge Liang uses taoist sorcery to move the winds for a fire attack, or the time Zhang Fei stands on a bridge and shots so loudly that the enemy army all poo poo themselves and ran away. So you do have spearman and archers and cavalry and forts and food and gold and whatnot, but the meat of the game is in the officers that your faction has available. The grid of stats you saw was probably just the interface for assigning officers to tasks: if you decide you need to build more farms or whatever the game will show you a list of every officer you have available sorted by relevant stat and you just mark a couple of them and go. You'll probably just pick the top people in the list unless you need them for something else. The closest Western analogy might be a game about the Illiad, where you just have Achilles stabbing like 30 guys and winning the battle singlehandedly and you just have to accept that.

Yeah, the game has a bunch of menus for doing stuff like building towns and doing diplomacy and such. I'm going to throw up a thread for Nobunaga's Ambition once Tecmo Koei releases the last preview for Nation Building so I can have all the detailed info to put in a thread. Until then, enjoy this trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FasySoQoAxs

If I'm just coming back to dw after a long time (I think the last I played was...4?) is 7 still the best place to start as per the op? There's a million different versions on the psn store - do I want the standard or extreme legends version? Playing on PS3 if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help in advance.

7 has the best story mode that doesn't complete expect you to know the story already, 8 is a bit more modern combat wise though. Extreme Legends is an expansion pack to the base 7 and Empires takes the 7 characters and combat and puts them in a light strategy game, it has no real story mode.

The only problem with SW4 is that it makes it really hard to go back to older Warriors just because you get used to hyper attacks, and hyper attacks are fun as hell.

Is Dragon Quest Heroes different from the usual formula at all? I haven't really kept up with the thing at all. I mean, I'm going to get it regardless since I haven't played a Musou in a long time and I'll buy anything with DQ in the name, but it would be nice to know.

mikeycp posted:Is Dragon Quest Heroes different from the usual formula at all? I haven't really kept up with the thing at all. Yeah, it's a lot slower and has more of a JRPG focus with magic spells you can charge to increase their strength, monster taming, real boss fights, a DQ8 tension system, and a lot of defensive missions where you're protecting things rather than just clearing out maps. You go into battles with a party of four, who you can freely swap between, and can level them up, buy skills, get new weapons and gear for them. There's a built-in fast travel system too so you can spend MP to warp to certain points across the map too. It's basically a JRPG molded into the Warriors formula.

I think the main criticism of Dragon Warriors is that the maps are relatively small for a Warriors game, but otherwise nobody would say it was a Musuo game if the developer was kept secret.

PW3 is really cool so far, but it's pretty silly how every single mission cut in dialogue or cutscene is recording blocked. Koei went kind of overboard this time

I don't get recording blocking. People who want to record cutscenes are going to do it whether it's blocked on the console or not. I mean, people have been recording their games long before the consoles offered the ability to do so.
