A Fancy 400 lbs posted:I just got my copy of Kessen 2 in. Well if regular Dynasty Warriors is a somewhat fantastic take on the Three Kingdoms, Kessen 2 is that with the fantasy pumped through the roof. And a couple of gender-swapped characters just for fun.

So how does DW8 stack up against Orochi 3? I loved WO3. For that matter, any good words on Dynasty Tactics 2? I liked what I saw; chains of moves pushing units around.

So I managed to get my hands on both Fist of the North Star games, and.... I like the first one better, so far. #2 has a lot more story mode cutscenes, but I really do not like the random drop system for scrolls or the brainless way you level up. I enjoyed the skill tree much more. I had a total blast playing Jagi's Dream Mode, heh.

Just beat Warriors Orochi 3 for the PS3 last week. God drat that was fun. I'm kind of hungering for more, so I guess it's a good thing the Ultimate version of it is coming out in the West eventually… Kind of shocking how much better this is than Next, the only other Warriors game I'd played recently. That thing was waaaayy too launch title gimmick-y.

The GIG posted:I want a WO4 mostly to give Lu Lingqi and the other 8 XL folks some character development and to have a chance to see Zhang He and Koshosho communicate with each other using only extremely sassy poses. Probably my most favorite feature of WO3 is that it's set up like a gotta-catch-em-all. Every mission gives you at least one new guy. You get everyone on your side, and Kaguya's time travel powers mean causality can go gently caress itself and you can have guys fighting themselves in a team-up with their mortal enemies or even the final boss. And all this unlocks amusing camp conversations.

Ambition Mode seems like it's got some of the more addicting aspects of how Warriors Orochi 3 handled recruitment. You just keep getting bigger and better and eventually everyone works for you?

One thing I thought was kind of keen about DW Next was its DLC costumes were all modern-day outfits, and every single one of the 70+ characters had some different amusing outfit. A different sports outfit for every sport, doctors, firefighters, wrestlers, tuxedoes, think I even saw a wedding dress in there somewhere.

Hah, a modern paratrooper but still with the ornate stuff on top of that as an embellishment? Nice. I wonder, if they really do re-release WO3-Ultimate if they'll spring for English voice actors or not. I don't care THAT much but there was a lot of conversation in WO3 when I played it and sometimes I was too busy smashing up everything to pay attention to the subtitles. Ordinarily that's not a problem but in Warriors games talking doesn't freeze the action.

I kind of liked the romanticization that occured for Wei at the end of DW6--Sima Yi goes on to start what would be the real unifying dynasty of China, right…but in DW6 there's a scene where Sima Yi impales Cao Cao and Cao Cao laughs and says "I have one final command for you! Create a great and lasting empire! DO IT!" Sima Yi admits that it takes a lot of balls to command the very guy who is backstabbing you at that very moment, and he admits that this is probably one command he's going to have to follow down to the letter.

Keeshhound posted:Only several hundred? Come back when you've depopulated a few cities, scrub. "The most populous nation in the world…really killed the poo poo out of itself two thousand years ago. Let's participate!" Maybe if all the goons were robots it'd be more palpable. Heh. At least in some games it's the "knockout counter" instead of the "kill counter." Speaking of DW, there was a game or two that tried to imitate its formula of "being awesome and chopping apart hordes of enemies." Ninety Nine Nights. I remember playing a demo for NNN-2 and liking it, but was the full experience any good?

Elliotw2 posted:That's not really how these games work. You pick the three characters you like the most, or just use the suggested groups if you don't know the characters well enough. Likewise, there's not rare items/weapons, so use whatever you like best. Actually there are in WO3, but it's basically stuff like you need to defeat 1500 enemies on hard mode in specific levels with a specific character (and the game never tells you how). There's no "best" single character in WO3, it's more like pick three characters whose moves you enjoy and have fun with them.

I think I see why they have themes for the Ambition Mode as DLC…since it's a grindy thing and you keep going back to the hub, it's so you don't get sick of looking at the same dirty village all the time.

drat, Wang Yi's animation for her Rage Attack is great. She gets a pained, wistful expression on her face as she braces her sword. I remember Warriors Orochi 3 made a big deal about Ma Chao not killing Cao Cao out of revenge. Woulda been better if Wang Yi had been right behind Ma Chao at the same moment he spared Cao Cao.

Yeah, the story of Wu seems to be that they're so totally awesome…but being awesome just isn't enough in this crazy world. I'm really liking Chen Gong. His scroll of war is pretty nifty and I love how he's a crazy pretentious strategist who wants to play with the big boys.

kissekatt posted:The funny thing is how different he is compared to the novel (although he is hardly the only character that applies to). In the novel he betrays Dong Zhuo and helps Cao Cao to flee because he finds out that Dong Zhuo is a tyrannical poo poo. Then Cao Cao murders an innocent friend of the Cao family to protect his own reputation, which makes Chen Gong leave Cao Cao as well. Somehow he ends up with Lu Bu, discovers that he is basically a bastard as well, so when he is caught after the battle of Xiapi he basically says "execute me so I don't have to deal with you shits anymore" and Cao Cao obliges him. drat. Some people just have a string of lovely bosses. I think if everyone I ever worked for was rotten I'd be a bit sick of it all too.\ Gharbad the Weak posted:I've been eating generic officers to upgrade other officers in Ambition mode, but now I need 400 people to get a farm. Like, do I need 400 at ONCE? Because I've got like 20 officers right now. All at once, apparently. Sorry! Releasing generic officers to power up other officers can only be safely done once you've hit the limit for how much stuff you can unlock via population (it's 700).
