It feels a bit too close and low, and makes using Christophorus pretty annoying because her tubas block a lot of the screen. After the other PS4 games, the performance on this one is pretty sketchy. The framerate isn't glacial but it is that sort of janky kinda-slow that is Gust's speciality.

It seems to run fine on the pro except for slowdown during the musou rave thing but I wouldn't trade the glowstick swords and everything thing else popping off during that for higher fps.

Huh, I'm having the exact opposite results. The game is probably one of their best running games yet, for me. Edit: Unless you're talking about it's performance on the PS4, not the PC.

Speaking of PC vs PS4... if I don't have much trouble with Nobunaga's Ambition's controls on PS4 and I were planning on picking up RTK13 and the PUK too - is there any reason to get it on Steam over the other? I presume the PS4 one is more...stable? But I do like mouse controls for these things. Probably can't go too wrong either way, but hey wasn't sure if there was opinion.

I can't speak for the PC version, but the PS4 version often suffers a lot of slowdown in large battles. And sometimes small battles. It seems kind of random really. Otherwise it plays fine and hasn't crashed on me or anything. Speaking of ROTk13, the expansion sure helped that game a lot. Playing Dong Zhuo's granddaughter and rampaging across Yuan Shao's territory as a Bandit queen, randomly attacking his armies and pillaging his cities so bad that Zhang Yan conquered him because he had no food or gold to pay his armies was... a lot of fun. Pity the AI is still braindead and the whole loyalty system remains superfluous. I went into edit mode, set every one of sun Jian's officers loyalty to nothing or near-nothing, and he still swallowed the south whole. You'd think there'd be at least ONE revolt.

Simply because loyalty is foul is not enough. If things are good and people get paid on time. they can take it(Loyalty rises). You'll get leavings and defections if things go bad and stay bad. You'll see a lot of leavings if you're small/becoming smaller and others are larger and more prosperous(They recognise staying with you is Bad and their chances are better elsewhere). I still ain't worked out how to make a small faction reach victory, at least not as a follower. I ain't risked being a Ruler yet. AIs/Players need to target each other with actual Hires and Cajoles for that low loyalty to mean anything, and those frankly don't seem to be very common missions to be given out. Partly due to 'There are other things to do', like training troops and raising domestics, but also mostly because Cajole and Hire tend to often have problems completing it(Technically it's an INT thing(It gives 20 INT EXP on success), and is often a matter dealt with by Debate, but also can call for a Duel as well.), and the AI doesn't simply try again if it fails with time left to go, but just reports failure. The player is not so restricted. This is only my impression. I'm sure someone will dress me down as 'Oh, that's all wrong, THIS is how it is'.

I need to know that, as someone who is personally part of the problem, that if I buy a couple of Warriors All-Stars' specific costume DLCs (namely Nobunyaga and some boob-window ones), if I then complete the costume bundle later do I still get the three bonus costumes? It's odd because they appear as N/A for a price in the base-game DLC list but in the bundle itself they show as $2, then on their specific pages they have no price and just link the bundle. I'm impressed they even managed that. I just wanted to get a couple to get started and then complete the rest later. Also holy poo poo Fate/Extella is 1) the most crazy-hectic musou system ever especially given that the AI has no qualms about invading territory for the win in the first 2 minutes and just keeps pushing and 2) has the most amazingly soppy dialogue in between missions, and I can't work out if it's made even better by the fact that I created a female avatar/Preator/whatever instead of the clearly intended male one, or if it's just as so-bad-it's-hilarious (and maybe good?) as it's going to get. Drakenel posted:Oh, ROTK 13 is worth playing now? Also, does this one suffer slowdown on regular PS4? I know people were saying earlier about Nobunaga slowing down randomly with battles, but I've got that on PC so I'm okay there, but ROTK13 just never gets a decent discount and I found it on the cheap on PS4, just wondering if I shouldn't bother and go back to PC for it. markgreyam fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Sep 4, 2017 |

I just wanted to get a couple to get started and then complete the rest later. I just checked (since I bought a costume not intending to ever buy the bundle; I think I made my opinion on bundles super clear here.). I can still get the furry costumes in the bundle (the only way to get them) and my total price is $28.56 for the bundle. It shows the one I bought with a slash through it, but I don't know if it's removing its cost since I didn't check the price of the bundle beforehand.

I think it is removing it from the total cost because I'm seeing $29.75. I'm pretty close to changing my mind and just going all in anyway. As I said, part of the problem. At least the newer games are separating out the costumes and also providing a discount bundle in the Steam form of "fill in the rest".

IIRC Extella is supposed to follow the as-yet unaired anime of Fate/Extra in which the male Master is the canon one so.

I honestly wouldn't mind the whole first person romance narration if they actually let you choose what servant to follow on the route. I can't take the flowery descriptions of Nero when Nameless is the clearly superior option.

I was being facetious but there's no way the story was done with the male MC being the default outside of a couple of instances of 'we forgot to change the pronoun', the female MC has different CG's and different responses sometimes. If you'd said it was assuming that the player would be male though that I would agree with.

I met the TLer for Extella at a con, and she was both well-versed in all things Type-Moon and very good at translation/localization on the fly as an interpreter. I have no doubt it was intentional.

I started watching Fate Zero over the weekend, which kinda made me want to play Fate Extella. It's pretty fun. Though I wish you could just build up your noble phantasm instead of finding 3 items for it in the stage. Finished Nero's story before going to bed last night. and unlocked Arthuria.

I know it's not technically a Musou game, but what's Bladestorm: Nightmare like? It piques my interest since it's focusing on the Hundred Years War. It seems like a interesting departure from the East Asia settings of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors. Also, what different about the Empires line of games?

The old demo for the PS3 showed how it worked well enough, so give the new demo a try I guess.

It's a game that plays like more like Kessen 2 except less strategic. Your "character" is a squad or battalion of soldiers and the gimmick is that you switch around classes because of weapon type disadvantage. Except Cavalry is like SUPER strong so there's no incentive to switch.
