The Imprisoned is at least predictable, Manhandla has a lot of really dangerous AOE attacks it will spam constantly, shout out to its attack where it spins around like a top with its heads flailing everywhere.

I've never had an issue with Manhandla. Approach, block seed spam, boomerang has always worked. Anecdotal, obviously. I hope we can all agree, though, that the big monsters suck and, if nothing else, The Imprisoned in vanilla HW was the absolute worst.

The imprisoned in OG HW was loving awful because it was scripted to get up halfway through its WPG.

It's closer to Kessen. Closer, not exactly like. The group you're running with is everything. You can do very little yourself. I also wouldn't say it is 'terrible'. This did manage to port Kingdom Under Fire The Crusaders and Kingdom Under Fire Heroes to PC. They're worth your time if you're looking to fight.

I've always liked the kingdom under fire games myself. I mean, brace for the early 2000's 'goth kid in the back of the class' level writing, but it hits a nice stride of lite strategy broken up by action. Also it can legit be hard if you aren't paying attention. The MMO sequel more than a decade later raises some eyebrows, but I can't give an objective opinion there.

Oh I meant more that the translation itself isn't very good--lots of typos and peculiar grammar and word choices that make it seem like the localization was handed off the lowest bidder or perhaps a boss's cousin or something. It's competent enough that I can understand what's happening so it's fine, I just wish it were a little better. I have also been warned that the content of Berserk is rough too, so I'm looking forward to finding out what that means. Just murdered a child, can't wait to see what antics I get up to next

I started looking into DW9 and the consensus is hell no. Given that the consensus for Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV was also hell no and they're failing to meet release dates... Is Koei Tecmo going to be OK?

Nioh sells a couple of million copies a title so yeah. Also GUST managed to find a formula for Atelier that's pushes it into 'actually sells decently for a low budget JRPG' absolute territory. Even just Omega Force their Nintendo tie-ins sell gang busters. It's not like a lot of their games cost tons to make.

Oh yeah. Other than the tie-ins, I kind of forgot about all of that other stuff. I just got nostalgic and depressed about Animecient China I guess, since there's always been a recent release worth playing for like 20 years straight. Then remembering Tecmo made me nostalgic and depressed about Tecmo's Deception.

Apparently there's a bunch more playable characters in SW5 announced that share a moveset (no unique attacks unlike the existing clones that do have some differentiation)

I probably won't get either one, but I noticed Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe is on sale on Switch for 8 bucks, and Pirate Warriors 4 is on sale for 24 bucks (and a bunch of its DLC is half off too, the Deluxe for 4 is still full price though). What was the general opinion on these games? I think I remember hearing one of them was pretty bad.

Nah they're both pretty good, but PW3 is more replayable, as it has a side mode that semi randomizes every battle, so you can revisit the missions and get different characters to fight. Combat is also somewhat more technical, you have both standard musou combos and what amount to reverse combos that you do by tapping the heavy attack button and finishing the string with a light attack. PW4 is nicer graphically, has levels that are a little less square, and you can customize your character's moveset a bit, but lacks that replayability. Really, they're both good if you're in a musou mood.

I actually did end up getting PW3, I figure even if I don't play it much, 8 bucks is too good of a price to pass it up. The game makes Ivankov's Devil Fruit ability sound more horrifying than it actually is (the game says it allows him to rearrange people's guts). I'm not entirely sure I like the Kizuna thing where you summon a crew member to finish your combo. It's not bad or anything and I guess they wanted to stress the bonds and stuff between the crew members but it just seems eh. The lock on doesn't work as well in this game as it does in other Warriors games, the camera definitely doesn't stick on the enemy as well and I still have to manually adjust the camera a lot of the time. Still, it's fun.

Oof, I ran into a very unfortunate bug in PW3 that's frustrating. I'm doing the Don Krieg battle, and I beat it just fine the first time through. Put it on Hard and went through a second time for the last Treasure Event and to clear the Hard difficulty requirement, I beat Mihawk which took a lot of work, and then got to the part where Don Krieg tries to stop Sanji from reaching the one territory. The first time around I chased Don Krieg, and each time I got into a territory it'd close off and I'd have to take it, then the gates would open and I could do that again a couple more times. This time around I chased him into the first territory, the gates locked, I beat up some enemies and then there weren't any more enemies. I got stuck in the territory with it at about half health, and no enemies were spawning to lower it further so I could escape. So I'm trapped there. I googled and saw someone who claimed to have a fix for this (by suspending the fight and then restarting it) but I tried that and I still had no enemies and none spawning to help me escape. So looks like I have to lose the battle which sucks. I'm also not a fan of the ridiculous requirements to S rank stuff. I'm used to regular Warriors games where 1000 KOs is a big deal, this game is like "Pssh only 1900 KOs? Guess you get a loving A rank, for AWFUL."

For getting lots of !, the best way I found to do it was to enter a territory with a full Kizuna bar, trigger Kizuna mode, beat dudes up, and then cancel it early so you retain 2 Kizuna levels, instead of having to build the bar back up the long way. Allows you to get those ! fast.

Yeah using the Kizuna Rush and then canceling it right before it ends has helped with the ! stuff since any KO you get in Kizuna Rush mode counts as a ! Going through the story mode all I have to say is man, early One Piece was so loving good. I'm not saying it's bad now or anything, because I stopped watching the anime when they arrived on Long Ring Island, because that was the point at which Comcast (my ISP at the time) stopped allowing torrents so I couldn't keep up with the anime anymore, and if I wanted to continue from where I was I'd have like what, 700 episodes to watch? But yeah, One Piece is really good. On the other hand Sanji in this game sucks. His inability to attack female characters is really frustrating. For the most part it's solved by "Don't play Sanji in those levels" but Alabasta is really annoying because one of the Treasure Events is to beat Mr. 2 with Sanji, and early in the level Tashigi shows up and you have to beat her to progress the story which is a pain in the rear end. You're also basically prevented from beating Nico Robin before she defeats Tashigi later in the stage too. It's really bad!

Yeah, that mechanic loving sucks, and they do it again in Pirate Warriors 4 too. If I remember correctly, you can hit women as Sanji with your special attacks, so you can do some damage as long as you keep finding fodder to beat up to charge your bar.

More or less the trick with fighting women as Sanji is that when you fill the kizuna gauge your ally attacks at the ends of your combos and it gets stronger the more you use the meter and fill it again with another ally.

Samurai Warriors 5 demo is up on all three consoles on the respective Japanese stores. It's a pretty ugly looking game so if you've got a PC that might be the version to go for - the PS4 version runs at what seem to be 1080p flat doubled without any filter to 4K with a very strong chromatic aberration filter, the Xbox does something similar but with some weird glitchy jitter going on and the Switch version runs at about 20fps.

I was able to brute force Orochi 4 into a decent state at 1440p so I'm hoping I can do that again. The new machines don't have any trouble running the games smoothly, it's just the weird choices KT made with the visual presentation.
