I'm still excited to try it, but the intro does seem to lean more into a musou game than tge actual game ends up. So just want to make sure no one is disappointed by expecting something different.

NameHurtBrain posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRoxMG2QYOk huh, that's weird. I feel like I definitely remember seeing a scene where he eats the eye, but I've also definitely never played DW1, so I wonder how that image got into my head? Maybe I saw something else that's an homage to that moment or something. Or maybe I'm thinking of kill bill (stepping, not eating, but still gross)

Nah, ya'll remember right. He eats the eye in a few games but they use his one-eye model for everything before 7 so you basically just see him pluck an arrow out of his eye patch. I want to say the first time I remember it is Lu Bu's campaign in 3XL, but I could be wrong I know he definitely does in 5, at least. It usually shows up whenever the battle at Xia Pi does, although that one doesn't make every game.

He eats it in 4, or more accurately at least makes the motion of it

Actually yeah, rewatched, in 4 he does make the motion, but not in 4XL which is odd. In 5 I don't see it(outside Dun looking away from where the enemies actually are to get shot.) Bonus stupid points for 9 where he resumes what he was doing in staring down arrow fire after losing an eye, making no move to take cover or prevent getting shot again. Although unrelated I do like the little badass moment Yuan gets shooting the guy bragging in 8 nonchalantly. Xiahou Yuan probably a low-key darkhorse favorite character of mine.

You don't get to be a legend by taking cover after getting a debilitating injury

Xiahou Yuan has had a ride in Dynasty Warriors, hasn't he? He's gone from the boisterous blowhard who's only marquee moment is getting styled on by an old man to basically being the warm goofy dad of the Wei faction up until his death who's still badass enough to do the feats of his peers but draws attention instead in those moments to his relationship with his fellows.

Like a couple of other characters, having kids really made Xiahou Yuan chill out a bit. Zhang Fei is still the same despite having his kids though, Cao Pi was added in 5 but Cao Cao didn't get rehabilitated until 7, and then of course Dong Zhuo never changes.

There's already some precedent for it from latter-day Romance of the Three Kingdoms games, which did call back to how he was once a respected general:  Ah, now I'm thinking of how Cai Yong wept for Dong Zhuo, because he remembered that there used to be a good person (or at least a respected leader) in that dead body.

Playing Song of the Sanada made me wish they made Young, Prime, and Old versions of all the characters. It's weird seeing a pretty young lady being described as a grandmother or an old man character who is supposed to be the son of someone who looks younger than him. Are skins like really hard to make or something? There aren't a ton of them in recent games outside of DLC.

Morter posted:Cross posting from the Switch thread because Joke's on you; nobody talks about games here, either! (But seriously, I've never played the Switch port but from everything I've heard, it seems to keep up with the PS3/Xbox 360 versions in terms of enemy counts with better but still VERY variable framerates. If you've had a good enough PC that the PC Port has spoiled you in terms of enemy numbers and framerate, it might be jarring to go back to what's basically a last-gen port of 8XL.)

That's the weird thing: Many reviews say "PS3" this and that for the PC port of DW8XLCE but the smooth framerate alone has blown me away. I mean, as long as it doesn't get as choppy as, say, Age of Calamity (sorry), I'll be fine with it.

I mean, 8XL PC had some issues at launch, including performance in lower-end systems, but that was also in 2014. I'm not saying even a potato can run DW8XL flawlessly, but my Win Max can run it at 40-60 FPS in lowered TPD Mode and can keep 60 in all but the most visually busy stages like Chi Bi when running at normal settings (in layman's terms- a handheld miniputer can keep a good framerate when running at low power and can crush it at regular) at 1280x768 so I assume jut about any modern gaming-adjacent PC can do 60 FPS with zero issue now. A lot of folks were also disappointed back in the day that the PC ports of a lot of Koei's games of the era were using the PS3/X360 versions of the games as their visual base and not the spiffier PS4/XBone versions. DW8, PW3, and SW4 and 4-2 at least all do this.

It's weird seeing a pretty young lady being described as a grandmother or an old man character who is supposed to be the son of someone who looks younger than him. A pallette swap on a few would carry a lot of weight. I think in 6(?), Huang Zhong has a black hair color swap that really works for just making him look 20 years younger. The inverse would also work, slap some gray hair on people and it probably carries even if they're as smooth as ever. Of course, it could also be fun if they used it as a method to play with things. Most of the new characters we get are Bishy as hell - very pretty boy without fail. A grizzled version of a lot of these folks could be fun to see. Plus, who doesn't want to be grandma/grandpa obliterating thousands of mooks? Chachi posted:stupid sexy dong zhuo Almost unrelated, but I'd really like some focus on the other factions. Maybe not elaborate as Lu Bu in 8XL(but hey that'd be fun), but give me a story where Dong Zhuo tells his own over the top revisionist history of being the good guy, everyone getting all bent out of shape about extravagant feasts and public torture. They just don't appreciate him. Or a Yuan Shao version of Guandu that switches from as easy of a win to as hopeless a battle as Lu Bu's Xiapi finale. I feel like the series weakness has always been hyper-focus on retelling the same story every time. They try to be different here and there, but multiple perspectives is something woefully underdone when both sides aren't Wu/Shu/Wei.

To anyone who purchased the Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition (deep inhale) Does anyone know what it takes to unlock things like costumes or guardian animals? For the former, I see some people have pointed out that beating a campaign gets you the extra costumes. Does this apply to ALL of the DLC?

DLC costumes are unlocked as soon as you buy them. AFAIK none of them depend on completion. For DLC animals you have to clear their related missions. Non-DLC animals are acquired through Ambition Mode and they can be used in Free Mode, not Story Mode. Doing the campaign missions unlocks alt-costumes for a few characters, mostly those who belong to multiple factions (Sun Shang-Xiang, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, etc. Others get slight variations like Sima Shi's mask, Xiahou Dun's eyepatch, Xu Shu's hood, etc. I'm unsure of when exactly the unlock happens, if it's either when you finish the campaign or just the the relevant mission, though.

Ah okay. For what it's worth the Definitive edition comes with (almost) all of the DLC so I was expecting more than a divine fox when I went into Ambition mode but I forgot that you unlock DLC animals via free mode.

is 8 the best version that is a "real" dynasty warriors game and not a major departure? SW4 was the last game i played that I was genuinely happy with in terms of the game's systems and how it played PC preferred but ps4/ps5 is fine.

It's definitely the best of the main Dynasty Warriors titles in everything except specifically Story Campaign (that goes to 7.)

Anybody have any experience with ROTK 14, specifically with the new PUK release? I know the initial release wasn’t received very well, but I’ve got the itch to dive into one of these games and am hoping the improvements have made a reasonable amount of difference.

Samurai Warriors 5 was just announced for a summer release for the Switch. This was at the Nintendo Direct, so no confirmation on other consoles but it'd be shocking if it's not also on PS4 and/or PS5.
