Some characters EX weapons are really bad, so you might as well choose something else in those cases.

Can't let Xiahou Ba have all the fun. But seriously Pirate Warriors 3 is the best and none of my friends believe me because they don't give a gently caress about One Piece.

So in about a week doesn't ROTK 13 release in English on Steam (after some weird delay)? Anyone have any insight on it? Worth buying, pass, etc.?

Steam release in the US is July 5th. Reviews on the existing version on Steam (Japanese/Korean/Chinese language) are mixed, but having not played it myself I can't really weigh in on it. I I know I'll end up buying it regardless.

I've only played a little bit of number 4, but from what I can garner, they're some weird mix of RTS and empire building (but not necessarily 4X like Civilization)

Then the AI lord makes you manage all cities but their own.

RotTK 8 is one of the most fun games I've ever played, more so since I got it on the PS2 for £5 from a Blockbuster's used games section. 13 is pretty pricey but I'll also end up getting it if it's getting an english update.

The PSN Big in Japan sale is currently happening on European PSN and there's a handful of Warriors games, usually around the €15-€20 price point for ps3 (I don't know what the average cost in sterling is, like three bottlecaps or whatever they're using for currency now) SW4 empires is only a little cheaper than usual though, as is the standard for more recent Musou games on sale. (€30-ps3/€35-ps4) And still no Gundam Warriors for sale. (EDF2025 is though, which I think I'll go for, seems Musou-esque enough for a laugh)

Good job defeating the entire point

Its like they finally realized they could let anybody use any weapon and that'd be real cool, and then put in all the work to make that happen Some weapons are still just poor to actually use, though they're trying (And always have been) in most respects. The EXs and switch moves are often the defining attacks of that moveset, more so than the normals, charges, or Musous. Then again, there are also some poor EXs. And some reuse among EX-Who knew Zhou Tai and Zhang Jiao would have something(anything) in common? It also keeps things simpler with the AI-you'll never see an AI willingly using an off-type weapon, and you know what you're dealing with when you face one. Then again, you never see the AI using EXs, so...(I swear modders have pulled some things concerning that, but I forget how or where I saw such.) Given that there were abilities that allowed you to eventually use some of the the unique aspects of weapons(Like Shadow Step, Dash) it's possible they intended you to use the EX's at some point. The matter's proved more useful for Empires than for standard. We kinda saw the problem when they released the DLC movesets for 8, which had no EXs at all. They were nice enough as weapons, but you always felt you were kinda missing out.

I don't think KT gets Steam sales. Most of their stuff doesn't go on sale, and the stuff that does is always on a tiny sale. I mean, look at Arslan: it's only 10% off. Really? Might as well not have bothered.

Divide the former number by the latter and that'll be the retail price.

Which doesn't excuse their being so stingy with Arslan. I assume DQH having no discount is decided by S-E as the publisher though. wielder fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Jun 30, 2016 |

Super new to the series. I just bought 8 XL CE from Steam so I have a few questions: -characters pretty much start at level 1, so is that why my combos and musous are locked at the start? cause in the tutorial you can combo up to 6x or you can do all 3 musous there. Is there a specific time or level when they unlock or anything? -EX attacks are just preferred weapons that let you do special combos with extra heavy attacks right? But you can still get away with using two non-EX weapons for the most part? -also I guess musou attacks use an EX weapon whether or not you have that equipped but is that affected then since you don't have a weapon there you just get some base damage or what? (or are musou attacks % based regardless?) -also I guess story mode auto levels those characters that participate but I have to assume free mode is there so you can level whatever? And what exactly is ambition mode? Is it more of a strategy style version that's all scenario based or something? -and the level cap is like 150 with the expansions? That sounds insane even for one character. Is it really? Also like 2500 weapons, I dunno, do you just collect them over time? -how do weapon stars work? do they just come up as you level your character or is there an EXP system for using them over time with stars affected by whatever your character has affinity for but you need to level them up anyway?

1. Yes. You unlock your 5th and 6th attacks with levels. If you EX move is tied to either of those, you can't use it till it opens up. 2. Yes, you may use as you wish. 3. Musou attacks are completely disconnected from weapon, apart from taking any properties your weapon has(Like life leech or so on), and the base damage of the weapon. 4. Free Mode has stars to earn for various stuff, different from the main story mode. Ambition Mode is...weird. It's running various minor battles to build up your base camp, attract followers(Other characters and generics), build friendships, and get stuff, including, critically, crafting weapons to your own specifications. It's hard for me to describe. 5. It is 150. You can buy levels with gold in Ambition, though. And the later difficulties can be said to require such power. Weapons: There's about 50 weapon types, all with 6 ranks per type. 1 to 4 can be found as random drops(Higher difficulty helps) or bought in stores during Story and in Ambition. 5 and 6 all have special requirements per character and must be earned 6. They come as you level up the character. Stars are a visual indication of compatibility-you use weapons you're better with, you get a small attack boost.

Any word on how ROTK 13 came out? I've been dying for a good officer entry for years, since ROTK 10, but steam reviews appear to be quite poor for this one. I'm not sure if most of that is due to people being unhappy about the lack of an English translation until now, or if it's genuinely not good. After how awful I heard 12 was, I'm not readily willing to take the plunge on this blind.

After how awful I heard 12 was, I'm not readily willing to take the plunge on this blind. There's also the formerly high price as a contributing factor to the negativity, before it was recently discounted. If nothing else, the western reviews on other sites seem to be more positive. Most aren't comparing the game to the previous titles though, with exceptions like this one. The reviewer is disappointed that it's not as good as the best ROTK games, but thinks it's a decent enough game in any case. Naturally, there's a good chance that Koei will fix some of the more structural issues with the PUK version. Gotta milk the fans. wielder fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Jul 6, 2016 |

That review helps a lot, thank you. Seems a pretty decent game in it's own right, but a little bit shallow in all aspects compared to older entries. I'll probably wait for a sale on this one, rather than jumping in right away.

Do they normally release the power up kit as an expansion pack or as a standalone release? I played so much of 8 and 10, but I hated that we only got the PS2 versions with crappy resolution and no PUK. This is going to sound super lame, but once I loaded up the PC version of X with a (very rough) partial English translation patch and was blown away just by scrolling through the menus and seeing all of the portraits and event art at full res.
