Joined the alliance against Dong Zhou as Liu Yan. Got my rear end kicked in minutes by a general using confiscate then his musou which killed me instantly. So I had no more revives left. Finally got down to Dong Zhou, brought him down to about 5% of his life...


Dong Zhou uses explosions!

And I get chained hit by explosions till I died :fuckoff:

I've been playing the hell out of this game since it came out, about to finish up my second playthrough and man, I wish there was a way to make friendly AI not use strategems, or at the very least make them not use a strategem to convert my treasure base to a supply base. And lockdown too, its bad enough with the AI but if you got a jackass younger brother who thinks its hilarious to constantly lock you inside of a base :argh:

The lockout thing wouldn't be that big of an issue if bases had ladders and ramps that let you get outside of them, which was in another dynasty warriors game.

Is there a reason for me to assign prefects at all? I guess they defend the territory they're the prefect of? Doesn't seem that way though, I was the strategist of a kingdom that had a few prefects and a territory was under attack, I spent a turn getting my troops maxed out and the game says "This territory is under attack, the prefect is leading the defense. Turns until the territory is lost: 2". That doesn't sound like assigning a prefect will allow me to take a break and not having to always defend every territory ever (Which I have no problem in doing so I'm really not seeing why I should assign a prefect).


I guess in the same vein is there any reason to assign a marshal or a strategist when I'm the ruler? Again one playthrough I assigned a marshal and didn't get a strategist till the very end, and in another one I had neither and nothing seemed to change.

Going through an evil ruler playthrough and holy gently caress, these strategems are stupidly powerful. Did Koei really think your non evil/spouse/sworn sibling officers randomly defecting is a good equalizer :psyduck:?

Explosions and poison mist pretty much solo entire bases. I can stand next to 4 officers and do nothing and they'll all die. I outright routed 5 officers with base trap, I mean sure I had to lose the base for it to happen but its not like the base has 5 officers defending it anymore for me to just take it right back. Seriously, I am just boggled by how stupidly powerful the evil strategems are

Speaking of, is it just me, or do skirmishes not have any health items, anywhere? The only source of healing I've seen is at your bases, which of course you only have in proper invasions. Am I missing something, or do you really only get the one lifebar of juice on a skirmish?

It seems that way, there is an item that restores your life passively at the cost of having less defense. I never picked it up myself, but I imagine it will work in skirmishes.

Campaign of Nanman? 10 minutes.

This so hard, I remember playing the DW3 demo and yeah it was only 10 minutes. My brother and I ended up rushing down to see what would happen if we beat it in time. We were so wide eyed and innocent about the game that we went and rented the game itself.


And then we ran into Lu Bu :negative:

It gets frequent sales in the square enix store, and that opens in steam anyway.

Eeeh, on black friday when they had the sale on their store (I couldn't grab it before they fixed their error of pricing the game for 18 bucks) it was actually more expensive on sale on their website then it was on steam not on sale. It was 30% off on their website for $41.99. On Steam it was $39.99

E: I mean I got a PS4 last night so I guess I can just grab it on my ps4 for half the price they want for the PC version.

Oh my god yessss


I got FE Warriors and honestly, I felt pretty disappointed by it and the whole time I was thinking "Maybe I should get my Wii U out and play some Hyrule Warriors"


I hope the switch version works better with split screen, doing missions that required killing x amount of troops in a time was impossible on split screen cause the game wouldn't render near as many enemies. Especially once the large boss enemies showed up.

Sincere question: how did licensing relate to language dubbing?

Check out FFX, where while the game DID come with a Japanese voice option, it would not allow you to put English subtitles if you used it. Cause of something in the contract. You CAN use our glorious nippon language, but you're not allowed to put filthy gaijin text on the bottom of the screen while its happening.

Which is the better Switch warriors game, Fire Emblem or Hyrule? Caveats: I haven't really played a zelda game since Twilight Princess, and the only FE characters I have any attachment to are from 7-10 (leaving me with just Lyn).

FEW has some extreme cloneage. Not only do a decent number of characters in HW have a gimmick of some sort (say Zelda gets charges that change up her charge abilities) but even if they're just bashing in heads they at least are animated differently and feel different. FEW is straight up the exact same combos on different characters, it feels like taking a regular Dynasty Warriors games and making 80% of the cast generic officers.

It does have some QoL that I'm surprised didn't get put on the definitive edition of HW (why can't I see what the target time, kills and damage for an A rank on the pause menu?), but I got bored real quick after the story as it didn't matter if the adventure battles would make me use certain characters, they all played exactly the same.

they just scaled really poorly and didn't attack very much, that's all. I fuckin loved runnin around with my entourage

Imagine what they can do with the bodyguard system with current tech. Maybe have each bodyguard look unique from one another? Combo system with your groupies? Online integration so you can see other player's bodyguards protecting an enemy general? Dating sim?

My favorite thing of DW3 is the bodyguards :yaycloud:

Actually in 4 I remember one of the officer's scenarios being you holding a gate, and the gate had 2 entrances and you couldn't let enemies past the gate. So I took one and set up my elite bodyguards on the other.

I think this would be the best thread to ask about Attack on Titan 2: When does the shop restock? I've bought out stuff shortly after various stores have opened up, beat the story, and have done 30% of the scout quests and not a single one of them has restocked. Do I have to buy out their entire stock?

E: Alright, confirmed it. I bought out all the stock and like 4 missions later they restocked. Its either that or it seriously takes over half a game to restock.

It seems to be based off number of missions but honestly the shop is pretty inefficient for raising friendship. It's nice if you're close to a level but honestly just taking a friend out on a scout mission gets you friendship EXP way faster.
