wielder posted:I'd be more inclined to play Fate/Extella if trying to understand that extended property's lore wasn't so confusing. let me sum it up for you as simply as possible: in the Fate universe, there are wizard families that are, invariably, made up of complete loving assholes. at some point, some dork figured out how to summon the Holy Grail, but it could only be done once every few decades, so they basically do Wizard Highlander to figure out who gets to Grail it up. assisting in Wizard Highlander are assorted mythological/historical figures, pulled out of the time abyss by magic and typically an artifact relating to them. they usually have crazy anime powers that they kill each other with, too. this doesn't touch Extra, but congrats, you now know literally all the important background info from Stay Night and Zero, translated from Japanese Fishmech to human being

Here's the plot in Extra you missed: Imagine all that didn't happen but instead it was .Hack combined with Battle Royale set inside of a computer hidden inside the moon.

If the kick doesn't connect, the rest doesn't go through).

One weapon even specifically states that it does that as a special ability. I don't remember what weapon it was though, something with hooks. Yue Jin maybe?

It's not on YouTube so you'll have to watch it here. something i noticed is a few more younger versions of characters, cao cao and yaun shao both look younger than in earlier screenshots, seems like age progression is going to be a pretty widespread thing

they actively attack you in sw4-2, even using musous. in the late castle levels you have to chain your own musous or you get juggled to death by 8 officers at once

They actively attacked you in 3, 4, and 5, as well as having weapon clashes with each other(Never with officers). At higher morale scores and more difficult stages they also blocked. That got restricted in 5 to the defence base troops. I hear in 6 they also could be murderous. Also Samurai Warriors 1. Anyone who says 'enemy soldiers are just there to die' has no actual experience of the greater series. When they changed soldiers from 'spawn from gates' to 'spawn around AI officers' and increased their headcount, and gave them worthless weapons with no actual moveset or AI... It wouldn't be so bad exactly, if the NPC officers were worth a damm. But by default they have no Musous at all(And so have little defence against juggling). Even in 8 Empires,. where you can play as them, and they DO have Musous and Rage Attacks for YOU, but the AI(Yours and the enemy) does not. Of course, the AI gets other advantages, like absurd health pools/stats, auto-buffs, and infinite Musou if they are allowed to have one. 1 vs 1000, 3000, 10,000....doesn't mean anything if there's no threat. And I don't just mean 'mission failed'. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Jul 26, 2017 |

In particular, I booted up 5 xtreme legends. That destiny mode basically has you take an edit officer and you have to be those poor grunts for the first couple levels. Cause you start with only two attacks in a chain and no charge or musou. Hope you learn how to bait officers and don't mind humping your commander's shadow.

It isn't. Dropped after a few hours and didn't pick it back up. Runs terribly, moves have no impact, it's constant saving allies/running across the map and the main game structure is barely there. Probably the worst game purchase I've made in a long time.

The reviews on Amazon Japan etc aren't completely apocalyptic at 2.5 stars - there's a decent chance you'll enjoy it if you like the defence aspects of certain games in the series, don't mind the disjointed/lack of story and don't mind that the vaunted Fever mode is rubbish and doesn't add to your KO total. It still depends on your tolerance of furries, though. The roster is pretty thin too as far as these games too, with only about 30 characters, so they have the giant furry soldiers who constantly guard and bust out Musou moves instead of lots of named officers.

I believe K-T said they made Musou Stars like that precisely because a Warriors Orochi 4 would be too bloated, but don't quote me on this. In the end, it sounds like the game may be interesting mostly for the novelty factor of its unusual mix of characters.

Thr biggest knock besides being the epitome of repetiveness is that the supers are too long. They're longer than dw supers and you use them basically every 20 seconds.

The GIG posted:Played Fate Extella and from the few hours I've played its okay, I just wish Aggressors didn't take so long to appear and kill. That's mostly what I end up using the super for. Just round up a bunch of mooks and spend a bar to usually take out enough to spawn the aggressors. Sometimes you can burn a couple bars to take out the aggressor and also snag enough mooks that the next one spawns as well. It is definitely one of the weaker aspects of the game, though.

I'm honestly kind of worried about them making it "open world". From what I've seen, it just adds needless travel time and nothing else.

At this point my brain equates 'open world' with underwhelming, so my expectations for 9 are pretty low. I like the new Xu Zhu design, he's always fun to play.
