Uncle Ulty posted:Man I remember doing those 3XL weapon missions too. That was a nightmare, and I'm so thankful that I was in college at the time so I had friends nearby to be 2P so I could actually complete those goals. I remember doing one (Dian Wei?) where I came around a corner to dozens of crossbowmen who just unloaded on me and brought me to death from full health in the blink of an eye. Yeah that was DW4 which introduced that. Eventually they just canned the idea of sub-officers altogether, which was good because now you don't have to keep pausing to check for them, but bad because having a string of sub-officers all retreat after you'd slapped a big man around is genuinely amusing (and in 3XL's case can really give you some room to breathe on Very Hard, especially if your Commander is at risk).

If you can snag hyrule warriors, definitely spring for the one that includes all the dlcs, cause they're surprisingly good too. Also I've not been impressed by any ROTK game after X. It's kind of sad.

Most of my Sunday was taken up by grinding Diao Chan and Zhang Jiao in DW3XL, then gaining their 4th and 5th weapons, along with a couple of special items (both of these items were/are crap, we're just after 100% on that count). Even in co-op (no loving way am I doing this solo) with plenty of booze to keep the poo poo-talking and banter flowing, it was absolutely exhausting. I never want to go through anything like Zhang Jiao's requirements for a 5th Weapon ever again. Sure it was worth the reward (Christ is his 5th monstrous) but holy loving poo poo the entire battle was effectively a glorified escort mission for a quartet of dumb loving idiot moron Peasant units. Jesus god no. Please. Never again. Any allied DW3 AI is too loving dumb to live.

Which character had to go through that anti-fun loving hellfire?! Masamune Date in XL had some ridiculous bullshit on Nagashino for his 6th (which my old co-op buddy and I just gave up on after a couple of shots because the allied AI is irredeemably dumb and we mained Keiji and Nobunaga anyway so gently caress all that), but I don't recall having to keep the Takeda cavalry alive for anything. We did get all of Nobunaga's gear though in SW1/XL, back in the day at least (I certainly ain't doing that again for now). Co-op helped (helps) so much, especially with Keiji just tearing poo poo up to ease the pressure. As fun as it was I guess a maxed-out Keiji was pretty OP in that game though?  Man on reflection it's staggering. I mean, Jesus Christ old Musou games really were something else when it came to obtaining ultimate weapons (at least before DW5 made it a real babby event). Makes me appreciate every refinement in the DW series up to DW8XL all the more, because with some 70+ characters I'd probably put my loving foot through the screen if the weapon/ UNLIKE THAT loving DIVINE GAUNTLET IN DW3XL. STAND AROUND DOING NOTHING FOR SIX MINUTES UNTIL FAN CHOU DIES. loving literally. Else he gains morale and puts up a fight preventing Guan Yu from arriving as enemy reinforcements, and you need to kill Guan Yu (among others) to get the item. What the absolute everloving utter gently caress Koei?!

This was announced a couple days ago at Tencent's E3-style conference but Koei Tecmo has re-revealed their Dynasty Warriors game for mobile. https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1277744882598195200?s=20 This game effectively replaces Nexon's Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed, which was removed from mobile stores everywhere but Japan back in March. This new one was in closed beta a few months back and I can't find any footage other than the tutorial which is around 15 minutes of a Yellow Turbans stage but if you wanna watch that then here. The new trailer seems to show off Warriors Orochi style team-ups so I'm interested in seeing where that goes. I think it looks alright, given that mobile phones are way more powerful now than they were in the era of 3DS and Vita they can handle hundreds of units on screen at once so it feels more like a real Warriors game. Just in case you don't get confused, this is not the same Chinese mobile game as the one Nexon is making which is an MMO-style adaptation of DW9 for phones. That's still happening. No I don't know why Korea thinks it's a good idea to turn DW9 into a phone MMO. Fun fact I learned in researching these games: the Chinese apparently call the Musou genre "mowing games!"

I've spent some time with some of Tencent's mobile offerings like COD and PUBG Mobile so I have confidence that both it'll be a pretty good game and that it'll have fifty different currencies fueled by MTX payments with nine different avenues of drawing for SSR Summer Wang Yuanji. Also it'll have a social mode where you hang out in like Luoyang and you can voice chat with Chinese players and do dance emotes at each other. That's what I've learned about Tencent games.

Another co-op session of DW3XL, another pair of 5th Weapons with requirements on the polar opposites of the difficulty scale, and all because 3XL was definitely not the best-planned (if at all planned) expansion when it came to this sort of thing. So, Dong Zhuo has to gently caress around on the Wu Zhang Plains -- a six-star difficulty map, meaning even the pleb infantry are meatshields for a while -- and kill Pang Tong ASAP before Shu's catapult attack, all without an impossibly weak Fan Chou eating poo poo in the process; a monster of a task even with a completely maxed-out Lu Bu present, tanking as much enemy aggression as possible to keep Pang Tong isolated and buy Fan Chou enough time to start fighting back. You absolutely need to have Dong Zhuo's base Life/ATK/DEF stats maxed before attempting this. But is the weapon even an upgrade? Sort of; it has the Death element (SSST), so at least mooks can be killed off rapidly, but then it has stat buffs to poo poo like Mounted Defense and starting with more arrows instead of Life. That sort of stuff is literally worthless because extra arrows are practically everywhere & fighting on horseback in DW3 is just a loving clumsy waste of time which lasts about 4 seconds before you get smacked onto the ground. Yuan Shao on the other hand? He just has to slap Diao Chan on Hu Lao Gate and make Lu Bu angry before Cao Cao or Liu Bei or Sun Jian dies*. Easy stuff; it's a one-star battle so only officers are a threat, but Diao Chan's completely on her own (aside from the usual bodyguard entourage), making her easy to kill. Even within the reasonably tight time limit you're given to sort this out (Liu Bei & co. in particular really don't put up much resistance), Yuan Shao's basic Life/ATK/DEF stats barely need to be 3/4 of the way up to succeed. I swear there are several 4th Weapons that take more effort to obtain than this loving thing (Ma Chao's immediately springs to mind), and to top it off it's a straight upgrade over his lovely 4th Weapon with useful stat buffs. loving incredible. *Or even Lu Bu himself, but given how he's effectively a wall of instant-death for anyone that gets close to his position (R.I.P. Yuan Shu) this is just a laughable condition. Jupiter Jazz posted:I played some of that last night and it's still awesome. Felt like Ieyasu ai was cheating though

Ya they are the epitome of the 21st big tech company although they started as a company that made a messenger app they have basically expanded into everything tech related much like companies like Google, Amazon. As for the Dynasty Warrior collab with Koei, I am surprised this didn't happen sooner as the ROTK games are pretty popular in China even more than DW. China loves mobile games, f2p and are already use to playing strategy/rts on mobile so it would have been better to have ROTK mobile version.
