Gundam 3 is a shitload of fun but wears out its welcome super quickly because the stages are all small and basically the same. It's kind of a bummer, but I loved it while it lasted. If they could mesh its gameplay with the stages from its predecessors it'd be pretty amazing.

Don't see what's so unusual about it. They've done their Xtreme Legends thing and they're about to put out Empires. They've even put out the requisite Orochi game built on its framework. They've checked all of the boxes on DW7. Not like Koei has anything else to make.

Unlucky7 posted:I heard eurogamer say that bladestorm was really good a while back. Is it worth tracking down? It's pretty cool but don't expect it to actually play like a Dynasty Warriors game. I don't really want to spew a big essay in here about how it works but you should definitely at least read the Wikipedia article on it before you go looking for it. One thing I'll say that Wikipedia won't: bad bad framerate. If you're extra sensitive to that kind of thing you might want to pass on it. It was on 360 games on demand a while back, I assume it's still there and horribly overpriced as a result, but I had a pretty good time with it and thinking about it now I kind of want to go back to it.

Sakurazuka posted:Characters in WO3 apparently only comes in two varieties, horrendously overpowered or virtually useless. Probably has more to do with the changes they made to characters for DW7's larger enemy groups. Every DW character is a complete beast while most of the SW characters are a lot more low-key, with fewer attacks that just destroy everything on screen, because that's how SW games still play (maybe as a consequence of being made for the Wii? Just sayin).

That framerate news is heartening. I was recently reminded that DW7 actually had a pretty cool story mode. So now I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with it in DW8. I don't think they've shown any of that off yet.

Samurai Sanders posted:Has anyone found any deals on Japanese DW8? I want it but I definitely can't afford $100, when you throw in shipping and all. Maybe it's hopeless. I think it's coming out on PSN on the same day? I read that on Koeiwarriors at one point but can't find it now. The Koei wiki thing mentions that "The downloadable version from PSN temporarily needs 38GB for the initial download but only 19GB to permanently store" though which sounds kind of concrete. No demo is that large. So if true you could buy it on Japanese PSN to save on shipping? If you need JP PSN card codes zmcnulty in the PS import thread offered to pick them up for less than what you'd typically pay ordering them from a website.

Jimbot posted:The pop-in and framerate aren't that great (I expect such things from these games, hopefully they'll have a constant 30fps with a ton of poo poo on screen with the PS4) but it's just a far better designed game than Empires 6. You shouldn't! DW7 and Orochi 3 are the worst performing ones in a long while. Gundam 3 was at 60fps basically all the time. It sounds like they've at least attempted to address it in DW8 but it's impossible to say with only 30fps videos to look at. Wish they'd put a demo out. It is a much better game than 6e though. I kind of wish that created characters would "learn" moves the way characters do in other games. You know, the way you get longer combo strings as you level up or whatever. I like that sense of growth. Lot of fun anyway, stayed up way too late playing it last night. Question: do your character's stats increase? I can't tell. If so, how?

Shinjobi posted:So I feel like maybe I should have read the instruction manual a bit before I started playing. Running a CAW through the Yellow Turban Campaign scenario, and the whole "vagabond/subordinate/ruler" stuff has me a bit confused. I ended up joining Sun Jian and helping put down the rebellion, but now I'm wondering where I go from here. Zhang Jiao's finished, I'm trying to complete assignments and wondering when I get rewarded for them (was supposed to skirmish with a neighboring province, did so, and nothing ever came up), and in general I guess I'm still trying to figure out all the changes between this one and DW5:E. You'll get the reward for completing the assignment you chose when the next war council rolls around. Twice yearly IIRC. As for what you should be doing now? You could be participating in battles to expand your ruler's territory, gaining fame as you go and increasing the chances of being promoted, which will give you greater freedom and capacity to influence policy. Or you could be forming stronger relationships with other people and building your own personal force in preparation to seize the throne. You could just be working to unlock access to better weapons and stratagems, doing skirmishes to earn some money and fame along the way. Maybe a mixture of all three? Unfortunately I don't think you can just resign from a faction and strike out to make your own kingdom because they added that option in the last update the jp ver got and for some reason we're a version behind. I guess if you revolt that basically accomplishes the same thing.

Jibo posted:So are there no health pickups in Skirmishes? It seems like Skirmishes are harder than invasions or defends if that's the case. Actually the game as a whole seems harder than DW7 since you're not constantly getting your stats upgraded and the only people who can drop powerups are officers. Officers in skirmishes will drop health items as soon as they put out the 1.03 update. No idea why they didn't include it at release considering that it does a lot more than just fix bugs.

Normal is pretty easy but if you kick it up to Hard every officer has health for days and murders you in three hits. Really wish there were some middle ground there. Or, heaven forbid, changing difficulties did more than just move a lot of numbers up.

The same weighting of fame types and the same strategems they had when you made that clear save. Something like that? Nothing about it in the manual. Also the manual mentions that there's an option to turn officer deaths on or off when setting up a new game but I don't have that option in the menu.

Finished DW8's Wei campaign. Didn't expect it to end at the Battle of Fan Castle, with a big showdown against Guan Yu and his ridiculous family (four kids in the game now!). Very cool stage though, just pouring rain and lightning and flood waters. A rare occasion of a Dynasty Warriors game managing to look pretty nice. It looks like the route can split at the Battle of Chi Bi which, true to history I lost spectacularly, leading to a different four final stages. Gotta figure out how to do that.

DW8 Wei alternate route:Historical semi-accuracy sure, that's cool, I appreciate that, but there's a certain cathartic quality to "hey what if all of the cool people in Wei didn't die early and they won at Chi Bi and then they got to have super rad climactic final battles against the other kingdoms involving most of the greatest figures from each and then everyone (from Wei) lived happily ever after!!!"  Feels a lot like DW4 and it's fun to have it both ways, even though the presentation as a whole noticeably suffers some as a result.

Chortles posted:You mean the presentation for Wei's "main story" is sacrificed for the sake of the alternate routes? Not exactly. That's what I wrote though! I accidentally conflated a couple of different thoughts and ended up posting something that I don't actually agree with. Sorry! The presentation of the story mode has taken a small step backward from DW7 but I don't believe that the side routes are to blame for that. It's a handful of other things, like the particular story beats they've decided to hit, de-emphasizing some deaths that were major parts of DW7's stories, in some cases even leaving major figures to just disappear without mention, and the way that every selectable character for a given stage is obligated to show up in any cutscenes that happen in that stage even when they might end up looking out of place. Some minor visual polish things that looked better in DW7. Stuff like that. The split routes themselves are pretty short and don't necessarily take anything away from the rest of the stories. To be clear, I'm not down on the game at all. I've been having a great time with it and would definitely say that it's more pluses than minuses. DW7 just handled some story things better. edit: this guuuuuuuy see you tomorrow fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Mar 7, 2013 |

Looking forward to reading what you think of it. Just got to Fan Castle on the Wu side and you were so right about Lu Xun's moves, wow.
