Some of the English voice acting is burned in to my brain. Dynasty Warriors does gruff old man voices really well. But my favorite line is from kessen/samurai warriors:

"Why?! Why arent they... reloading!"
"If one line fires while another reloads, continuous fire can be achived"

Really, the greatest tragedy of the loss of the SW dub is we no longer get access to crazy old man Shingen Takeda.

Musou abso-fuckin'-lutely sucked though.

Ya that's true. Trucking motherfuckers like she's the world's tiniest fullback is a definite improvement.

Looking up old musous I had a weird moment because I still treat her, guan ping, and ling tong like newcomers. gently caress, mentally I still think of Zhou Tai as a newcomer and he was introduced almost 15 years ago!

I appreciate the line, but talk about the wrong series to say it in, 'Caobunaga'.

Then again, Samurai Warriors 1 scaled the strength of enemies based on how powerful you were, so it was often true.

it was based on your level so you could clown on hell-difficulty tadakatsu honda with a lv1 character with maxed skills, an ultimate weapon, and items that gave at least +40 to your stats

samurai warriors 1 was also the one where it actually would've made sense for enemies not to scale to your level, because it actually had meaningful branching paths and alternate endings for pulling off ahistorical feats of strength

That's one major problem I have with pretty much all Warriors games. The fact that the difficulty is all over the loving place.

I hope they do something about that in DW9.

the return of clone weapons and the not too great quality looking gameplay theyre putting out combined with all the cut stuff (multi, alt history routes) has me pretty wary about dw9 by now.

Truth. This coupled with the claim "no really guys, we're going for a more historical feel with this one" smells an awful lot like the lead-up to DW6 (which then had Sima yi slinging around monofilaments from his clawed gauntlets anyway, which I'm sure was definitely a thing).

Most likely her DW5 weapon, which replaces the sword with a fork (not the sort you eat with). Keeps the shield though.

Other than that, I can only guess a smaller version of Zhang Fei's pike (or something similar), which would be a dumb decision.

Or maybe lu lingqi just borrowed the sword and shield as a clone moveset

Cause xiahou yuan has taishi ci's twin rods, and considering he's had those since dw1 I'd be shocked if they took them away from him (though I think they did for dw6)

I think that's a fancy, single-bladed urumi. So even if it isn't Chinese, it is at least somewhat connected to reality.

Sun is my fav faction, and i don't even recognize half these dudes. Gan Ning is, uh.... someone? Zhou Tai was the one who could air dash, maybe? Good for quick movement. Aside from that, i only remember the surfer dude (and by that i mean the Gai who smashes his opponents with a boat) and the fanned whirlwind of upbeat death. Xiao Qiao.

And Shang Xiang, i guess, just because she's been around forever.


edit: actually, Lu Meng was/is my fav Sun character, but i can't recognize him without a helmet :corsair:

Not to that extreme, but you know the photo of Al Gore in shorts, they were kind of like that. Boys and girls had the same shorts. Boys being boys, we all bought like XXL's.

Also, does she have a spinal injury? The more I look at that picture the weirder it looks.

I don't think she likes the special sauce, Rick.


This sale was great - I have been interested in the ROTK series since the SNES era, but I never bit. But I read the talk here about how the latest Nobunaga's Ambition, Ascension, was a better execution on a lot of the ideas, aaaand it was cheaper...and turns out it's loving awesome!

I'm now wondering if some of the criticisms of ROTK13+Expansion apply if I've never played one before? With nothing to compare it to, and buying it all together instead of paying another 30 bucks on top of the whatever-price they was charging y'all originally...could it be more-worth-it?

ROTK13 is a good and fun game if you haven't played one before, and should you want a far more complex and ugly take on the same concept dig out your PS2 and find a used copy of ROTK X.
