Irisize posted:Really? I just kinda... assumed all the DLC maps were total scams. Which ones would you recommend?   Guan Yu's Escape gets re-tooled into nothing short of a massacre.  Not pictured: that bit when the seemingly-empty spaces suddenly get flooded with red dudes. In other words, just grab all the map DLC stuff when they're cheap during one of the many Steam sales.

Darth Walrus posted:SW5 seemed decent enough. I played the Demo, it seemed to be a perfectly fine musou, I guess, but it felt so incredibly dry. I'm not sure I can play a musou game without dash cancelling anymore. It's weird that it isn't a standard feature by now.

I had fun with SW5 at first, but I lost steam around halfway through; the maps just have no personality, it just feels like a stream of "go here, kill that, now go here and kill 5 of these" over and over again. And I know that arguably this can be said about any musou game, but it seems more noticeable than usual in this one. Maybe it's just that I've played so many of these games I'm finally starting to get sick of them, but I feel like older musou games were better about hiding the monotony and making it feel like there was really a battle going on around you that occasionally ebbed and flowed without your presence.

Nothing felt like more of an adventure to me than being a teen playing Nanban Campaign in DW3 as Pang Tong on the xbox. I wasn't yet familiar with Dynasty Warriors and its gameplay. Everything was big and scary (the fog of the draw distance helped, a lot), and I had to treat every idle group of 5 like an action movie fight scene. I was sniping people off of elephants (and maybe towers), but I mean, loving ELEPHANTS. I was smacking people with a stick. I had no grasp of the strategic gameplay cause I had no horse and everything was happening everywhere. I still just remember feeling in awe of that. Now I play dynasty warriors by pointing my character arrow at the biggest blob of red-in-the-minimap.

I played the DW3 demo where you get to play the Nanman campaign as Huang Gai, Zhao Yun or Sun Shanxiang for about 10 minutes dozens of times, what a blast. I couldn't find the game in stores anywhere so I had to settle for 2.

I was in high school during the ps2 launch and my family managed to find one for Christmas. I spent the majority of my winter break playing DW2 front and back, to this day I can still hear the lovely delivery of "the great gan Ning will FIGHT you!" in my head.

I got my rear end handed to me at Changban time and time again to the point where the entire map was red while I desperately tried to keep Liu Bei alive. Learning how to actually win a battle was an amazing moment.

But then you also have DW9's miserable excuse for English voiceovers, so gently caress it all. I guess I can't win no matter what with new Musou games.

I don't usually mind forced non-english VA with subs (I liked it so much in the yakuza series that I picked it even when they gave me the option) but yeah it's pretty rough in some musou games. Most of what people are saying is just repetitive combat barks, but every now and then someone says something that you really ought to pay attention to, and rip your morale if you were paying attention to the combat instead of reading subtitles at the wrong time.

Yeah, unless there's a serious about-face with VA hiring practices in DW10(where they bring back most of the 8 Crew), I feel like the game will be a missing a good deal of its soul. It was never great VA work even when it's not early PS2 era garbage, but it always feels lesser to not be able to identify people by voices as they ask you to do something or complain or whatever. You're busy paying attention to crowd murder and can't always be arsed to read.

The thing I miss most from latter-day localized VA is people having unique phrases for KOing an enemy officer. You can only hear "enemy officer defeated!" in the exact same voice, with the exact same cadence, so many times in a 10-second period before your brain starts to liquefy. It's not MUCH better with the English VA, but at least it's not literally the exact same words for every single character.

My younger brother used to play one of the Empires games and every mission he'd set the AI to defense, so you'd hear 10-15 variations of "I'm going to defend this base!" at the start of every mission

I picked up DW9E. Measured up against DW9 vanilla, I've already noticed some significant engine improvements, though I've only been through the tutorial so far.

I got Hyrule Warriors for Switch for Xmas, and is it just me or does it absolutely zoom in terms of framerate? It just feels like the game goes really fast with the animations sometimes.

Definitive Edition or Age of Calamity? I haven't noticed any framerate issues in DE personally, and the issues in AOC tend to be dips, not spikes. If you're playing DE, you'll want to exit the game when you're not playing it, because IIRC there's a memory leak that'll start causing rendering issues and eventually crashes if you leave the game running too long.

DE, I have Age of Calamity too but haven't gotten to it. But that memory leak is good to know about. But i was playing as Lana and everything just seemed to be animating really quickly.

I enjoyed it for a while but couldn't bother to finish it. The limited copy paste movesets really kill a lot of replayability, especially since partway through both protags specialize in the same weapon. Sure everyone can wield anything, but they only get to use a boring a limited version of weapons they don't main.
