Tip for Warriors beginners: one thing I'm fond of is switching the buttons. Switch defend with call horse and special attack with map toggle. That way, defend is on the left trigger and special is on the right one. The controls feel so much better that way.

Oh man, I can't get enough of Chronicle mode. It's the bees knees and has everything I love about Samurai Warriors. Can you co-op Chronicle mode?

I'm level 20 or so in Chronicle mode and I've got a sword that has 110 power. Chronicle mode is now way way easy even on Hard. May have to bump it to Nightmare. Levels are slow because high levels absolutely decimate your opponents.

Kai owns. Lover her personality, love her move set. I'm enjoying the game more by using the characters by their type. For example, Ina is a special type, so I use her special all the time. Yukimura is a power type, so I use his charge move set. Kai is a normal type so I use her normals a lot. I'm try to use hyper only when I need to, for example, for crowd control, or when I need to get a way FAST, or when I need musou NOW. The game is much more enjoyable that way when you leave hyper moves for mostly hyper characters. It takes restraint because hyper attacks have NO downside at all and can be easily abused, but it's making the game much more enjoyable for me. Sanada storyline can be surprisingly tough too.

Calax posted:Except that hyper mode can be easily blocked by enemy officers. This doesn't change anything, because it still takes a lot of enemies NEAR the officer, giving you an edge and also giving you breathing room since you're being knocked back. Being blocked by officers is a good thing because it still helps clear the crowd and build your musou guage, and also by being a defensive tactic. Never mind that everything else BESIDES officers is abusable. Jupiter Jazz fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Oct 27, 2014 |

Gimnbo posted:It doesn't look like Koei has released any sales data for DW8 so I can only hope it did well enough. It's been pretty dry for me as a Warriors series fan since I swore off of consoles after the 360 and joined the PC It was on the top 10 when it first came out and often when it's on sale. Good sign?

Finished Sanada story. The storytelling in this game is pretty bad. There's barely any sense of flow. Most stages have no purpose or the purpose isn't explicitly told. In the Sanada storyline, I was expecting this great build up to Nobuyuki v Yukimura given the fact that's what Koei is mostly advertising story-wise with this one, and it never happened. There's no reason given for Nobuyuki to join with Ieyasu. One map he's with the Sanada's, next map he's married to Ina and on the Tokugawa side. Then it skips 15 years to Siege of Osaka and I'm just left with a vocal "what". The end result feels half assed given that this took two Clans just to tell, without any motivations given. Historically, there are a lot of ideas and theories on why Masayuki and Yukimura joined the Toyotomi, none of which are explored here. In past Samurai Warrior warriors games, noticeably 2, they give the excuse of friendship with Mitsunari. Here? Nothing. Nobuyuki's reasoning is even more vague given his previous care for his family name and brother. He meets Ina just once in the story, weapons drawn, makes no mention of Tokugawa again, but suddenly joins him. It's poorly explained. More than that, the finale duel cutscene between Yukimura and Nobuyuki was pretty lame. In history and folklore, it's been said that Yukimura became injured gravely, and became too tired to fight, so he ended up telling his opponents his clan and name, that he was injured, and that he would wish to die as an honorable warrior, to which his head was cut off. Past games did this pretty well (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um_lwaplL08)Here, Nobuyuki and him fight. Nobuyuki doesn't even hit Yukimura with a blow. Yukimura doesn't even look tired. He just cartoonishly runs towards his death. it's loving hilarious. Given that this was Koei's main advertised story for the story mode, I'm not too impressed. Oda's story campaign was similarly bad. I just can't help but feel like story mode is rushed. From the map design, to the actual story writing. It lacks that Koei zeal for me, which is striking because Dynasty Warriors 7 and 8 particularly do a pretty great job of presenting their characters, their goals, and their stories, unlike Samurai Warriors 4.

What is the best Musou of the past few years? Last one I played was Samurai Warriors 4 and I hated it because of what they did to SW, my favorite Musou series. I guess Zelda Warriors? ARE SW2XL HD or SW2E HD in English yet? Because I could just go with that.

RareAcumen posted:I picked up Warriors Orochi 4 after playing dozens of levels of Hyrule Warriors and it felt so slow, clunky, and complicated in comparison I probably didn't even get to the good part before I sighed and just put the disc back in the case for good. Warriors Orochi 3 is the best Musou ever so this comes as a surprise.

Takoluka posted:It plays just like WO3. The problem is that HW is way more fluid and interesting in its animations and maps, so by comparison, WO4 comes off as a downgrade. Can you expound upon HW's map design? What's interesting about it? Are they big and sprawling like Musou of old? (Think SW2 here)

Takoluka posted:The Gundam model has a stiffness that comes from the player being a giant robot, so you're already in the mindset. On top of that, the gameplay loop for the Gundam games was always about territory control, so the objective alongside the characters and models works really well. This sounds great.
